Doctors and medical staff are taking heed of this and making it part of their care treatments. One product of this is the appearance of clown doctors and healthcare clowns, in hospitals around the globe. There is even an organization that sets standards-the European Federation of Healthcare Clowns Organizations was established in 2011. It says: "Healthcare clowns bring moments of happiness to children who are ill or who have special needs and take their mind off their illness... Clowns also bring smiles to weak adults, including seniors and people with brain disease who are in hospital care." Healthcare clowns are becoming especially popular in Israel, which is considered a world leader in the field. The first university ever to offer a bachelor's degree (学士学位) in medical clowning was Haifa University, in 2007. One healthcare clown in Jerusalem, Leah Weiss, decided to take advantage of her inner clown to help patients after a COVID-19 ward (病室) opened in March. She said she knew the clown in her would have curing benefits for her patients. She wants to reduce their anxiety (焦虑) and improve their wellbeing. She enjoys working alongside doctors and said: “Obviously, the doctors, they take care of the body. And we come in and take care of the soul. And it becomes a whole and works together—the doctors understand this." 66. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined phrase “taking heed of”? A. Looking up to. B. Making up for. C. Paying attention to. D. Getting away from. 67. Some hospitals employ clowns because________. A. they are well educated B. they are easy to find C. they make people happy D. they have medical knowledge 68. What can we know about Leah Weiss? A. She is seriously ill. B. She is a loving person.

An effective cure for COVID-19. D. A detailed introduction to clowns. C The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong Province. Zibo is called "the home of soccer ball". It's the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju won the recognition of FIFA—soccer's governing body—as the earliest form of soccer. The Chinese character cu means to kick. Ju means an ancient type of leather ball. It has feathers (羽毛) or grain chaff(谷糠) inside. The ancient Chinese historical text Zhan Guo Ce says cuju was a form of amusement among common people. But during the Han Dynasty, soldiers played cuju for army training. During the Tang Dynasty, women played cuju at the royal court (朝廷) for the amusement of the emperors. It entered the golden age in the Song Dynasty when it became popular among every class. Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people's lives during the Ming Dynasty. Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承 人) of cuju. He has been practicing cuju skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. "At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠球) a ball. It was tiring," Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row. Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li's job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. "Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages me to promote the ancient sport," Li said. 71. Why is Zibo called "the home of soccer ball"? A. Because cuju was born there. B. Because people there love soccer. C. Because there is a branch of FIFA. D. Because modern soccer began there. 72. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The way of making cuju. B. The development of cuju. C. The value of cuju to the world. D. The popularity of cuju among the Chinese. 73. In the Ming Dynasty, cuju_______. A. was used to train soldiers B. was enjoyed by the emperors C. became popular among women D. slowly disappeared in people's lives 74. Which of the following is true about Li Weipeng? A. He is the only inheritor of cuju. B. He thinks it easy to learn cuju skills. C. He now practises cuju eight hours a day. D. He passes down cuju skills to the younger generation. 75. What the best title for the passage? A. Zibo—a city of soccer fans B. Cuju—its yesterday and today C. Soccer—a popular sport in China D. Li Weipeng—a devoted instructor of cuju ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 （2023年·湖南对口真题） 第一节 选择（本节共15个小题，每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并将答案填涂在答题卡上。 A Create Your Own Story Competition If you love to write, draw and create stories, here’s your chance!

It’s for a competition in school tomorrow.” “Do you need any help?” her father asked. “It’s almost time for bed.” “I’ll be quick,” said Susan. “I wonder what color to use.” “Well, our stairs are brown.” said her father. “Thanks, Dad.” said Susan. When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brushwhich was still wet. Suddenly, She dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob （污点）of brown paint！ “Oh Dad! What will I do?” Susan cried. “My picture is ruined. And it’s too late to paint another.” “ Let me see,” said her father. “The blob looks just like a spot on a dog. All you have to do is to draw a dog around the spot!” “That’s a wonderful ideal!” cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint “That looks just fine. You know, few things are as bad as they seem at first. With a little imagination you can turn bad into good.” said Susan’s father. The next day Susan went to school early. When the competition began, Mr. King said, “I’ve chosen three pictures and I want you to say which one you like best.” The children did not like the first one. The next picture was on black paper, but the stairs were red. So it was not so good. Then Mr. King showed the third painting. It was Susan’s! “The stairs are straight.” said Joe. “Yes and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper.” said Lucy. “The little dog seems to belong there.” said Terry. The children voted and Susan’s painting won. “Susan had a good idea,” Mr. King said. “That little dog finished a good painting. It made the stairs seem real.” Susan smiled. She could hardly wait to tell her father the news. He was right. With a little imagination you can turn something bad into something good! 66. When did Susan paint her picture? A. At night. B. At noon. C. In the afternoon. D. In the morning. 67. Why did Susan’s father suggest the brown color? A. Susan liked it. B. Their stairs are brown. C. His lucky color is brown. D. The brown paint matched the white paper well. 68. What happened when Susan first finished her picture? A. She went to school early. B. She began playing with her dog. C. She drew a blob in the brown paint. D. She dropped the wet brush on the picture. 69. What did Mr. King say about Susan’s picture? A. The stairs were straight. B. The brown paint showed up well. C. The little dog made the stairs seem real. D. The little dog seemed to belong there. 70. What can we learn from the passage? A. Father always love their children. B. Most things are as bad as they are seen. C. Never give up when we face difficulties. D. We can turn the bad into good with imagination. C How cool would it be to have a flying robot? What's the first thing you would do with it? Maybe send it into battle, or use it to spy（窥探） your neighbors? Well this is not just a fantasy anymore. Drones（无人机） are remote-controlled flying robots, and they are getting more popular every day. But is this a good thing for society? The popularity of drones has exploded in recent years as technology has improved and gotten cheaper. A standard drone with a high-quality camera and four helicopter propellers now sells online for just a few hundred US dollars. Drones are extremely useful for making videos because their cameras link directly to phones or tablets. Nowadays, anyone can get professional-looking fly-by shot from unique angles. But could this cause problems? Because drones are so affordable, it means that anyone can send a robot flying around the neighborhood. People might be surprised to find a camera floating outside their window. This should be a huge concern for people who care about their privacy. Many governments also invest in drones, but for very different reasons. Some country uses military (军事的) drones for spying. Its most powerful drones, however, are predator drones, which can fly higher than 15. 000 meters at over 300 kilometers per hour. And no, they don't just take pretty videos. A predator drone can hold 360 kilograms of bombs, enough to completely destroy an enemy camp. The soldier controlling the drone sits safely away from the action, so it's impossible to know for sure who is getting killed. Innocent people might be in danger. Drones are very new technology and people are still exploring their possible uses. Maybe someday you'll come up with a new cool way to use your own remote-controlled robot. 71. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To express the writer’s opinion. C. To state the facts about the drones. D. To indicate the advantages of a flying robot. 72. What does the underline word “ exploded” in paragraph2 probably mean? A. Broken. B. Disappeared. C. Blown up. D. Increased. 73. What is most likely true about drones you can buy online? A. The most expensive ones are priced too high. B. They can be used to secretly take pictures of people. C. They are useful for making videos from fixed angles. D. They can be used for both photography and military purposes. 74. What is the function of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. It suggests what military drones will do in the future. B. It gives an example of what military drones cannot do. C. It intends to compare military drones and common drones. D. It describes a similarity between military drones and common drones. 75. What is the main idea of the article? A. Using drones can cause confusion to users. B. Using drones is a great way to improve videos. C. Drones have both positive and negative effects. D. Drones are expensive, but really exciting to play with. （2022年·湖南对口真题） 第一节选择（本节共15小题；每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并将答案填涂在答题卡上。 A Website: www.alleynes.org.uk Alleyn’s School Townley Road, Dulwich, UK office@www.aleynes.org.uk Welcome to Alleyn’s School. Our school is big and it has 600 students aged 13-15. However, it only had 100 students and four teachers when it was open on September 10th, 1962. Main Teaching Building The school has a huge yard and next to it is the main teaching building. The building has two floors, with six classrooms on each. In each classroom there is a computer, an overhead projector, and a smart white board. It also has a small reading area with different kinds of books offered by the students. Library Our school library is used for all the reading classes weekly. The members of the reading club can meet here and do some reading after school. School Hall We have a fantastic school hall. It is used for gym, meetings and having lunch. It is the place where we hold many events, such as school plays, concerts, and indoor games. Other rooms We have a well-equipped music room for music lessons, a computer room of thirty-two computers and a large staff room for teachers to have a rest during lunch time. 61. The school has a history of ______ years. A. 600 B. 100 C. 60 D. 15 62. What do we know about the main teaching building? A. It has 12 classrooms in all. B. It lies in the huge school yard. C.

A. on the school website B. in a diary C. in a storybook D. in a notice B When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers (剩莱). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes left over. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon! I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then. 66. What did the writer’s grandma usually do with the leftover potatoes? A. She would use them to fry bacon. B. She would get some oil from them. C. She would make potato pies with them. D. She would put them in the fridge and eat them later. 67. Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer’s mum taste like bacon? A. Because she was good at cooking bacon. B. Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes. C. Because she put potatoes into the bacon containers. D. Because she cooked potatoes with the oil from frying bacon. 68. According to the passage, how did the writer save food? A. By shopping ahead of time. B. By selling leftovers to others. C. By planning the next week’s food. D. By following her mother’s shopping list. 69、What does the underlined word “ feast ” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Large meal. B. Sweet dream. C. Happy story. D. Beautiful picture. 70. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. It is never too old to learn. B. Eat to live, but not live to eat. C. Neither food nor life should be wasted. D. There is no such thing as a free lunch. C In recent years, there have been many films about robots trying to take over the world. Studies show that up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. Some people are worried about what might happen in the future. On 8th September, 2020, The Guardian published an article written by a robot called GPT-3. It wrote that “ robot ”comes from the Greek word for “ slave ” (奴隶) and humans have nothing to fear from robots, which are only here to help humans. However, the fact that a robot could write such an article has made some people feel even more uneasy. Where is the robot technology heading? Can robots and humans work together? ( YES — they ’ re here to help humans Robots are created by humans for humans. Robots take on jobs that are too dangerous for people to do by themselves. Although robots might take some people’s jobs, they will create new types of work, and they will possibly create more jobs than they take away. Besides, robots’ programming could actually make them more trustworthy than humans, because they are not influenced by feelings. ) ( NO — humans should not trust robots Robots are already taking over the world. Jobs that used to be done by human beings are now being taken by robots. Although robots are under our control now, that might not always be the case . An experiment in Switzerland found that some robots had learnt how to lie to each other. With the development of AI, robots could start to act in their own interests. Wherever possible, humans should do things themselves. ) What’s your opinion on this matter? 71. According to the article by GPT-3, the word “ robot ” comes from ______ . A. Greek B. English C. German D. French 72. When learning that GPT-3 could write an article, some people feel ______ . A. proud B. nervous C. excited D. relaxed 73. What advantage of robots is mentioned in the text? A. Creating all kinds of work. B. Developing filming technology. C. Working with different feelings. D. Doing dangerous work for humans. 74. What does the underlined part mean? A. Human beings will be replaced by robots. B. Humans should act in their own interests. C. Robots are likely to be out of our control. D. Some robots have learnt to lie to each other. 75. What can be the best title for the text? A. Will Robots Become Creative? B. Should Humans Trust Robots? C. Will Robots Do Harm to Humans? D. Should Humans Do Things Themselves?

Smoke was coming out of the front window of the downstairs room, but there was no sign of any flames. And there was no sign of old Mr. Cox, Elsa's father. He lived with them and had a room upstairs at the back of the house. He was not among the people in the crowd. "Alan!" his wife shouted. "He's asleep upstairs! He probably went to bed and left the fire on in the front room!" Her husband began to push his way through the crowd towards the front door. "Don't be a fool!" someone shouted. “Wait for the firemen. They'll be here any minute." But Alan knew that he could not wait. He put a handkerchief over his face and ran up the stairs.He pushed open the door of his father in-law's room. Old Mr. Cox was sleeping peacefully. “What's the matter?" he cried as he woke up. "Nothing to worry about. Just a small fire downstairs," Alan told him. “Now, get a coat on and put a handkerchief over your face like this." At the top of the stairs Alan made old Mr. Cox climb onto his back. Then he put a handkerchief over his own face and went down the stairs as quickly as he could. There was a cheer from the crowd as he came out of the house. The fire engine and an ambulance arrived more or less at that moment. The first flames were just beginning to come out of the front window. "It's all my fault!" moaned (呻呤) old Mr. Cox as they carried him into the ambulance. “I was reading the newspaper and I left it near the electric fire." 66.

Farmers living in the countryside think so. For hundreds of year, they have observed animals and noticed many things about the way animals act. For example, some farmers believe that if they see swans flying into the wind, a hurricane is coming. Or, when cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Some scientists are taking another look at animals to see if there is any truth behind these stories and beliefs. They have found some surprising things. Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation of twelve public heath centers in Kobe, Japan. These heath centers treated people after a big earthquake. Shimamura noticed that the month before the big earthquake, treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact. aggressive(有攻击性的)behavior in dogs, such as biting and baking loudly, jumped 60 percent! Other animals change their behavior before an earthquake as well. For example, fish in ponds or lakes begin swimming together in large groups only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds may fly away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected. These behaviors suggest that animals may be able to predict natural events, such as earthquakes, better than people. 71. If cows lie down, some farmers, believe that_______ A. a hurricane is approaching B. there is likely to be a rainstorm C. an earthquake is happening D. there is going to be a heavy snow 72. How do dogs behave just before an earthquake? A. They lie down in grass. B. They stay together in large groups. C. They leave their homes. D. They hurt people more than usual 73. What did Kiyoshi Shimamrum look at during his investigation? A. Animal clinics treating dogs. B. The number of patents with bites. C. The number of earthquakes a year. D. Places dogs go during earthquakes. 74. What strange behaviors do animals have before an earthquake? A. Fish in ponds swim together in the middle. B . Fish swim near he water edges C. Birds stay near their nests. D. Birds take good care of their eggs. 75. What is the main idea of this text? A. What animals do during earthquakes. B. The frequent earthquakes in Japan. C. Animals' uncommon actions before natural events. D. Stories about farmers and scientists.

A.8967234 B.8124697 C. 8133730 D.8567234 B They say that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no bettr example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake(1587~1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but also provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography. Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel.When he was 18, however, Xu’s father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required. But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, she refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So at the age of twenty and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary.This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys. Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it sill made Xu a travelling legend around the world. 66. Which of the following best describes Xu’s mother? A. Strict but humorous. B. Kind but uneducated. C. Helpful and hardworking. D. Open-minded and supportive. 67. Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels? A. It offered him the chance to meet different kinds of people. B. Iit helped him to save money and travel for a longer time. C. It allowed him to see and study the environmentin. D.It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in. 68.which of the following is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xlake A. It was only made public after Xu died. B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime. C. It was the first travel book ever written in China· D. It was mainly about the different people of China. 69.What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life? a. He went on his first journey. b.His book was finally printed. c..He returned to his hometown for the last time. d. He developed an interest in books about other places. e. He started managing the family farm after his father died. A.a-e-d-c-b B.d-e-a-c-b C.d-e-a-b-c D. a-b-c-d-e 70.What is the passage mainly about? A. Xu’s general life story. B. Xu’s difficulties in his travels. C. Xu’s important discoveries. D. Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. C While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students' computer or phone screens. His name is Bill. Created by technology company Smart Machines. Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers. Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the students’ questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students’ physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. This two-way exchange helps get the students’ attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill’s behavior and knowledge base when needed. The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost says, “What is interesting to me is the children’s reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention.” Frost thinks kids don’t find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people do because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones. It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one, this talking head’s knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can’t guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily Bill’s future might be a “personal tutor”, providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics. 71.What do we know about Bill? A. It’s a human-like robot. B. It’s a kind of computer game. C. It’s a computer recording tool. D. It’s a computer-created talking head. 72. How does the two-way exchange help the program developers? A. It enables them to improve Bill. B. It lets them correct students’ mistakes. C. It allows Bill to respond more quickly. D. It helps them study students’ body language. 73. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to_______. A. kids B. older people C. smart machines D. program developers 74. Bill is NOT good at ________. A. attracting students’ attention B. understanding body language C. responding to students’ questions D. dealing with unexpected situations 75. How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph? A. To work as human classroom teachers. B. To encourage students’ interest in computers. C. To give students personal help with different subjects. D. To monitor the behavior of the students in the classroom. （2019年·湖南对口真题） A Come on! Get in Style!

They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside. These special drugs can help treat some kinds of diseases. Until now, they have made two kinds of drugs. One drug can treat skin cancer and the other can treat a nerve disease（神经性疾病）． Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites. These drugs are made of proteins（蛋白质）which can be found in animals’ skin, hair, milk and meat. The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites. In this way, the chickens can stay healthy. Besides egg whites, drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep. Compared with cows and sheep, the special chickens have ascendancy over them. First, they are cheaper to raise. Second, they need less room and grow faster. These special chicken can pass on their drug-producing ability to their children. So far, five generations of the special chickens have appeared. But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect. It’s said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years. 66. The special drugs in chicken eggs can now be used to treat _______. A. lung cancer B. heart disease C. skin cancer D. blood disease 67. Why must the drugs be only in the egg white? A. To ensure the chickens keep healthy. B. To produce more egg whites. C. To cut the cost of raising chickens. D. To make the proteins grow faster. 68. The underlined world “ascendancy” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _______. A. problem B. effect C. advantage D. demand 69. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. The drugs have already worked well on patients. B. Scientists will realize their dream within five years. C. Most chickens have the ability to produce the drugs. D. Scientists are confident about the future of the drugs. 70. The passage is mainly about the way of _______. A. making chickens lay more eggs B. producing drugs in chicken eggs C. treating diseases more effectively D. increasing the production of chickens C We had an enormous apple tree in our garden only a few yards from the kitchen window. “We really must cut that tree down,” my husband said, soon after we moved into the house, “I’m sure it’s dangerous.” “Don’t be silly,” I said I quite liked the tree myself. “It’s quite safe. It isn’t going to fall down on the house!” “Well, I read something in the paper only the other day,”he said.“A tree crashed into a woman’s bedroom during a storm and now she’s in hospital!” In the end, after several arguments of this kind, we asked a couple of workmen to come along and cut the tree down. “What about the roots?” the men asked. “Shall we take them out too or leave them?” “Oh, take them out,” I said. “Let’s make a good job of it!” This took all afternoon and I was beginning to think about the size of the bill! There was a big hole in the Garden! “You’ll be able to put all your old rubbish in there!” the men said as they left. My husband climbed down into the hole and began to look around. “Hey, look!” he called up to me. “There are some old coins here! And I think they’re gold!” I climbed down into the hole and we started to dig around, hoping to find some more coins. We did — and we also find a small metal box. We broke it open. It was full of jewelry — rings, necklaces and bracelets! “Gosh!”I said, “I suppose someone hid these things in the ground — perhaps during a war!” “They are probably worth a small fortune!”my husband said. “Well, aren’t you glad now that you got rid of the old tree?” 71. The writer’s husband insisted on cutting down the tree because it _______. A. might fall down on their house B. would reach to the window C. might grow into the kitchen D. would grow too large for the Garden 72. What can we infer about the woman in the newspaper? A.

Pay a monthly rent of 600 dollars B True or False? A goldfish opens its mouth to drink water. False. Goldfish may look as if they’re drinking water, but they actually open their mouths to take in oxygen. Like people, fish need oxygen to live. Oxygen is a gas that is found in air and water. Fish use gills(鳃) to get oxygen from water. The water enters the fish's mouth, and then moves through the gills behind the fish's head. The gills remove oxygen from the water, and the water passes out of the gills. A wagging tail always means a dog is friendly. False. You may know that dogs wag(摇)their tails when they feel friendly, You may not know that they also wag their tails when they are excited or angry. Always be careful with dogs you don't know. Do not go near a dog unless you already have a friendly relationship with it or the owner says it is all right. Cats can see in total darkness. False. In the wild, cats often hunt for their food at night. For this reason, many people think that cats can see in total darkness. But this is not true. Cats cannot see when it is completely dark, although they need much less light to see than people need. A guinea pig(縣鼠) doesn' t play in the morning True. Like many small animals, guinea pigs sleep during the day and are active at night, when they look for food.

"It's cheap and convenient, "you said, "And very comfortable."well,I took your advice. Now let me tell you what happened. We left on time and stopped for supper at a cafe at about 9: 30 p.m. It wasn't the sort of place I like eating in and it was also very crowded. so I decided to buy some chocolate. We set off again at 10: 15 p.m. The lights went off and I settled down to get some sleep. However,the people just behind me kept on talking loudly. When I eventually fell asleep. the people behind me woke me up!"You're snoring loudly "they said, "and keeping us awake!"After that I hardly slept at all. The rest of the journey was like a long bad dream. Then at about 5:30a.m, about 40 miles south of Edinburgh, the coach broke down and wouldn't start after a long period of repair. In the end.the driver had to send for another one and we all had to change coaches- in the rain! By that time.I was very hungry and I was longing for a nice hot drink. I got one -- when we finally reached Edinburgh at nine o'clock! By then I was so tired that I went straight to bed and stayed there for the rest of the day --- the first day of my holiday! As you can imagine, I don't intend to travel by coach again overnight. Of course I'm not blaming you for all this --- but thanks for the advice! Yours, Ron 71.

A. map        B. dictionary        C. newspaper        D. novel B My little brother is six years old, in his first grade. Yesterday, he gave mum a letter from his teacher. "I got a red flag today. Could you please sign this note?" he said. The note showed that he had been talking during reading time. He gets a "red flag" only once in a while. His real worry is that he never gets top scores in his schoolwork. The best he gets is "OK", but often his score is "You can do better than this." My mum tells me "You can do better than this" would mean "Very bad" in China.       It's interesting, though, because teachers for little kids in America never say anything too bad about their students; even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow." Many parents are pleased with a B-grade for each subject.       I've heard that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期望) are very high for students. Even from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing. I sometimes felt that my first-grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US ( this is the same as the 6th grade in China )! Yet his parents and school thought he was a bad student. But to me, he was smart, even though he didn't meet his parents' expectations. Do you think it's too strict in China? Or do you think that it's not strict enough in America? Maybe both are true! 66. The writer's little brother got a red flag yesterday because he _____. A. did something good B. worked hard enough C. got top scores D. made trouble in class 67. When students get "OK", it means they get ________ scores in their schoolwork.

From the passage we can learn ________. A. American teachers are better than Chinese teachers B. expectations in China are too high for students C. teachers should be strict with their students D. Chinese teachers are not kind enough to students 70. The story mainly tells us ________. A. about the different expectations for students between China and America B. Chinese kids spend less time on schoolwork than American kids do C. it's as strict in American schools as that in Chinese schools D. Chinese teachers should treat students like American teachers C Hover Camera (无人相机) Wang Mengqiu, the inventor of Hover Camera, was born in Hangzhou in 1982. He once studied at Stanford University in the United States. He became famous overnight (一夜成名) because of the invention. Forget selfie sticks (自拍杆)! Compared to other cameras, Hover Camera has many advantages. * It can fly and stay in mid-air, track your face and even follow you to make sure it gets the perfect picture. * It can be controlled by using a smart phone(智能手机). * It records movements with a 13MP camera and takes 4K video.  * It is the best choice for weddings, sports games and holidays.  Mr. Wang also said, “The main design consideration is easy and safe to take for the users. It’s very light and small. It can be folded (折叠) in two, so it can be easily put into a bag. When the power is low, it can land on the ground safely on its own.” It’s reported that the company has raised $25 million to produce it. As it is still being tested (测试), Hover Camera can be bought later this year.  The price has not yet been decided. But a spokesman says the company hopes to sell it for less than $600.  71.

In these troubling times, good humour is in need more than ever. Doctors and medical staff are taking heed of this and making it part of their care treatments. One product of this is the appearance of clown doctors and healthcare clowns, in hospitals around the globe. There is even an organization that sets standards-the European Federation of Healthcare Clowns Organizations was established in 2011. It says: "Healthcare clowns bring moments of happiness to children who are ill or who have special needs and take their mind off their illness... Clowns also bring smiles to weak adults, including seniors and people with brain disease who are in hospital care." Healthcare clowns are becoming especially popular in Israel, which is considered a world leader in the field. The first university ever to offer a bachelor's degree (学士学位) in medical clowning was Haifa University, in 2007. One healthcare clown in Jerusalem, Leah Weiss, decided to take advantage of her inner clown to help patients after a COVID-19 ward (病室) opened in March. She said she knew the clown in her would have curing benefits for her patients. She wants to reduce their anxiety (焦虑) and improve their wellbeing. She enjoys working alongside doctors and said: “Obviously, the doctors, they take care of the body. And we come in and take care of the soul. And it becomes a whole and works together—the doctors understand this." 66. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined phrase “taking heed of”? A. Looking up to. B. Making up for. C. Paying attention to. D. Getting away from. 67. Some hospitals employ clowns because________. A. they are well educated B. they are easy to find C. they make people happy D. they have medical knowledge 68. What can we know about Leah Weiss? A. She is seriously ill. B. She is a loving person. C. She has special needs. D. She has a bachelor's degree. 69. What is the benefit of having clowns in hospitals? A. It reduces medical expenses. B. It makes hospitals organized. C. It helps with patients' recovery. D. It decreases the anxiety of doctors. 70. What is the passage mainly about? A. A new care treatment. B. A useful traditional medicine. C. An effective cure for COVID-19. D. A detailed introduction to clowns. 66.答案：C 解析：原文中的“taking heed of”意为“注意到，留心”。我们需要找到一个能够表达相同意思的短语来替换它。A选项“Looking up to”意为“尊敬，仰慕”；B选项“Making up for”意为“弥补，补偿”；C选项“Paying attention to”意为“注意，留心”；D选项“Getting away from”意为“远离”。根据句意，只有C选项与原文中的“taking heed of”意思相近，因此C是正确答案。 67.答案：C 解析：原文中提到“Healthcare clowns bring moments of happiness to children who are ill or who have special needs and take their mind off their illness...”，说明医疗小丑能够给病人带来快乐，让他们暂时忘记病痛。因此，医院雇佣小丑的原因是他们能够让人快乐，选项C“they make people happy”是正确答案。 68.答案：B 解析：原文中提到莉亚·魏斯（Leah Weiss）决定利用自己的小丑身份来帮助患者，减轻他们的焦虑并改善他们的福祉。这表明她是一个有爱心、愿意帮助他人的人，因此选项B“She is a loving person.”是正确的。A选项“She is seriously ill.”（她病得很重）在原文中没有提及；C选项“She has special needs.”（她有特殊需求）与原文不符；D选项“She has a bachelor's degree.”（她有学士学位）虽然可能在现实中是真的，但原文并未提及她的学历。 69.答案：C 解析：原文中提到医疗小丑能够给患者带来欢乐，减轻他们的焦虑并改善他们的福祉，这都有助于患者的康复。因此，医院里有小丑的好处是帮助患者康复，选项C“It helps with patients' recovery.”是正确答案。A选项“It reduces medical expenses.”（它降低了医疗费用）和B选项“It makes hospitals organized.”（它使医院更有组织性）在原文中并未提及；D选项“It decreases the anxiety of doctors.”（它减轻了医生的焦虑）虽然可能间接存在，但原文主要强调的是对患者的好处。 70.答案：A 解析：整篇文章主要介绍了医疗小丑这一新的治疗方式，包括他们的作用、在以色列的流行情况以及莉亚·魏斯的个人案例。因此，文章主要讲述的是一种新的治疗方法，选项A“A new care treatment.”是正确答案。B选项“A useful traditional medicine.”（一种有用的传统药物）与原文不符，因为医疗小丑并不是传统药物；C选项“An effective cure for COVID-19.”（一种有效的COVID-19治疗方法）虽然文章中提到了莉亚·魏斯在COVID-19病房工作，但并未说医疗小丑是治疗COVID-19的有效方法；D选项“A detailed introduction to clowns.”（对小丑的详细介绍）过于宽泛，且文章主要聚焦于医疗小丑这一特定群体。 C The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong Province. Zibo is called "the home of soccer ball". It's the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju won the recognition of FIFA—soccer's governing body—as the earliest form of soccer. The Chinese character cu means to kick. Ju means an ancient type of leather ball. It has feathers (羽毛) or grain chaff(谷糠) inside. The ancient Chinese historical text Zhan Guo Ce says cuju was a form of amusement among common people. But during the Han Dynasty, soldiers played cuju for army training. During the Tang Dynasty, women played cuju at the royal court (朝廷) for the amusement of the emperors. It entered the golden age in the Song Dynasty when it became popular among every class. Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people's lives during the Ming Dynasty. Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承 人) of cuju. He has been practicing cuju skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. "At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠球) a ball. It was tiring," Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row. Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li's job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. "Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages me to promote the ancient sport," Li said. 71. Why is Zibo called "the home of soccer ball"? A. Because cuju was born there. B. Because people there love soccer. C. Because there is a branch of FIFA. D. Because modern soccer began there. 72. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The way of making cuju. B. The development of cuju. C. The value of cuju to the world. D. The popularity of cuju among the Chinese. 73. In the Ming Dynasty, cuju_______. A. was used to train soldiers B. was enjoyed by the emperors C. became popular among women D. slowly disappeared in people's lives 74. Which of the following is true about Li Weipeng? A. He is the only inheritor of cuju. B. He thinks it easy to learn cuju skills. C. He now practises cuju eight hours a day. D. He passes down cuju skills to the younger generation. 75. What the best title for the passage? A. Zibo—a city of soccer fans B. Cuju—its yesterday and today C. Soccer—a popular sport in China D. Li Weipeng—a devoted instructor of cuju 71.答案：A 解析：题目问为什么淄博被称为“足球之乡”。根据第一段中的“Zibo is called 'the home of soccer ball'. It's the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju.”可知，淄博被称为“足球之乡”是因为它是古代中国足球运动——蹴鞠的发源地。因此，答案为A。 72.答案：B 解析：题目问第二段的主要意思是什么。第二段主要讲述了蹴鞠的发展历程，从古代作为民间娱乐活动，到汉代士兵用于军事训练，再到唐代女性在宫廷中玩蹴鞠供皇帝娱乐，最后在宋代进入黄金时期，但在明代逐渐淡出人们的生活。因此，第二段的主要意思是蹴鞠的发展过程，答案为B。 73.答案：D 解析：题目问在明代，蹴鞠发生了什么。根据第二段最后一句“Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people's lives during the Ming Dynasty.”可知，在明代，这项拥有2000多年历史的运动逐渐淡出了人们的生活。因此，答案为D。 74.答案：D 解析：题目问关于李伟鹏的哪个选项是正确的。根据第三段中的“Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li's job.”可知，李伟鹏的工作之一是教学生蹴鞠的动作，即他将蹴鞠技能传授给了年轻一代。因此，答案为D。其他选项A（他是唯一的蹴鞠传承人）、B（他认为学习蹴鞠技能很容易）、C（他现在每天练习蹴鞠八小时）在文中均未提及或错误。 75.答案：B 解析：题目问文章的最佳标题是什么。文章主要介绍了蹴鞠这一古代中国足球运动的历史、发展以及现代传承情况，特别是通过李伟鹏这一现代传承人的故事来展现。因此，最佳标题应该是能够概括文章主旨的，即“Cuju—its yesterday and today”（蹴鞠——它的昨天和今天），答案为B。其他选项A（淄博——一个足球迷的城市）、C（足球——中国的一项流行运动）、D（李伟鹏——一位蹴鞠的忠实教练）都不能全面概括文章的主旨。 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 （2023年·湖南对口真题） 第一节 选择（本节共15个小题，每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并将答案填涂在答题卡上。 A Create Your Own Story Competition If you love to write, draw and create stories, here’s your chance!

It’s for a competition in school tomorrow.” “Do you need any help?” her father asked. “It’s almost time for bed.” “I’ll be quick,” said Susan. “I wonder what color to use.” “Well, our stairs are brown.” said her father. “Thanks, Dad.” said Susan. When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brushwhich was still wet. Suddenly, She dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob （污点）of brown paint！ “Oh Dad! What will I do?” Susan cried. “My picture is ruined. And it’s too late to paint another.” “ Let me see,” said her father. “The blob looks just like a spot on a dog. All you have to do is to draw a dog around the spot!” “That’s a wonderful ideal!” cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint “That looks just fine. You know, few things are as bad as they seem at first. With a little imagination you can turn bad into good.” said Susan’s father. The next day Susan went to school early. When the competition began, Mr. King said, “I’ve chosen three pictures and I want you to say which one you like best.” The children did not like the first one. The next picture was on black paper, but the stairs were red. So it was not so good. Then Mr. King showed the third painting. It was Susan’s! “The stairs are straight.” said Joe. “Yes and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper.” said Lucy. “The little dog seems to belong there.” said Terry. The children voted and Susan’s painting won. “Susan had a good idea,” Mr. King said. “That little dog finished a good painting. It made the stairs seem real.” Susan smiled. She could hardly wait to tell her father the news. He was right. With a little imagination you can turn something bad into something good! 66. When did Susan paint her picture? A. At night. B.

What's the first thing you would do with it? Maybe send it into battle, or use it to spy（窥探） your neighbors? Well this is not just a fantasy anymore. Drones（无人机） are remote-controlled flying robots, and they are getting more popular every day. But is this a good thing for society? The popularity of drones has exploded in recent years as technology has improved and gotten cheaper. A standard drone with a high-quality camera and four helicopter propellers now sells online for just a few hundred US dollars. Drones are extremely useful for making videos because their cameras link directly to phones or tablets. Nowadays, anyone can get professional-looking fly-by shot from unique angles. But could this cause problems? Because drones are so affordable, it means that anyone can send a robot flying around the neighborhood. People might be surprised to find a camera floating outside their window. This should be a huge concern for people who care about their privacy. Many governments also invest in drones, but for very different reasons. Some country uses military (军事的) drones for spying. Its most powerful drones, however, are predator drones, which can fly higher than 15. 000 meters at over 300 kilometers per hour. And no, they don't just take pretty videos. A predator drone can hold 360 kilograms of bombs, enough to completely destroy an enemy camp. The soldier controlling the drone sits safely away from the action, so it's impossible to know for sure who is getting killed. Innocent people might be in danger. Drones are very new technology and people are still exploring their possible uses. Maybe someday you'll come up with a new cool way to use your own remote-controlled robot. 71. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To express the writer’s opinion. C. To state the facts about the drones. D. To indicate the advantages of a flying robot. 72. What does the underline word “ exploded” in paragraph2 probably mean? A. Broken. B. Disappeared. C. Blown up. D. Increased. 73. What is most likely true about drones you can buy online? A. The most expensive ones are priced too high. B. They can be used to secretly take pictures of people. C. They are useful for making videos from fixed angles. D. They can be used for both photography and military purposes. 74. What is the function of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. It suggests what military drones will do in the future. B. It gives an example of what military drones cannot do. C. It intends to compare military drones and common drones. D. It describes a similarity between military drones and common drones. 75. What is the main idea of the article? A. Using drones can cause confusion to users. B. Using drones is a great way to improve videos. C. Drones have both positive and negative effects. D. Drones are expensive, but really exciting to play with. C 71. 【答案】A 【解析】本题为推理判断题。题干问的是“第一段的作用是什么”。文章第1段提到无人 机不再是人们的幻想，而是越来越流行的科技产品，但这对社会来说是一件好事吗?作者 没有直接给出答案，而是在第2～5 段相继介绍了无人机的利弊方面，并希望人们将来有 一天能够更好地利用无人机。由此可推断出，文章第1段主要是引出话题，方便作者后文进行论述。故A 项为正确答案。 72. 【答案】D 【解析】本题为词义猜测题。题干问的是“第2段中画线单词‘exploded(可能是什么意 思”。根据画线单词可以定位到文章第2段第1句，该句句义为：近年来，随着技术的进步和成本的降低，无人机的普及 。本句的主语是The popularity of drones,且根据第 1段倒数第2句“ … and they are getting more popular every day.” 可知，无人机越来越流行， 即无人机的普及程度增加。break 意为“打破”;disappear意为“消失”;blow up 意为“爆炸”; increase 意为“增加”。故D 项为正确答案。 73. 【答案】B 【解析】本题为推理判断题。题干问的是“关于你可以在网上买到的无人机，什么最有可 能是正确的”。根据文章第3 段可知，因为无人机价格合理，这意味着任何人都可以操纵 无人机在附近飞行，这可能会侵犯其他人的隐私。B 项(它们可以用来偷拍人的照片)可 能发生。本题容易误选D 项(它们既可用于摄影，也可用于军事目的),要注意政府才能使用军用无人机，题干并不涉及。故B 项为正确答案。 74. 【答案】C 【解析】本题为推理判断题。题干问的是“第4段中画线句子的作用是什么”。本句中， they 指代前一句提到的军用无人机 predator drones。作者在前文提到，无人机在拍摄视频 方面很有用，而本句提到军用无人机不只是用来拍摄视频的。后一句紧接着提到，这种军 用无人机可以装载360千克的炸弹，足以彻底摧毁敌人的一个营地。由此可推断出，画线 句子旨在比较军用无人机和普通无人机之间的区别。本题容易错选A 项(它暗示了军用无人机未来的用途),要注意文中提到的这种军用无人机已经投入使用，故C 项为正确答案。 75. 【答案】C 【解析】本题为主旨大意题。题干问的是“这篇文章的大意是什么”。通读全文可知，作者介绍了无人机的几种用途，同时对无人机可能造成的问题(如侵犯隐私和伤害无辜人员)表达了担忧。因此，本文主要论述了无人机的利弊。故C 项为正确答案。 （2022年·湖南对口真题） 第一节选择（本节共15小题；每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并将答案填涂在答题卡上。 A Website: www.alleynes.org.uk Alleyn’s School Townley Road, Dulwich, UK office@www.aleynes.org.uk Welcome to Alleyn’s School.

Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers (剩莱). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes left over. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon! I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then. 66. What did the writer’s grandma usually do with the leftover potatoes? A. She would use them to fry bacon. B. She would get some oil from them. C. She would make potato pies with them. D. She would put them in the fridge and eat them later. 67. Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer’s mum taste like bacon? A. Because she was good at cooking bacon. B. Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes. C. Because she put potatoes into the bacon containers. D. Because she cooked potatoes with the oil from frying bacon. 68. According to the passage, how did the writer save food? A. By shopping ahead of time. B. By selling leftovers to others. C. By planning the next week’s food. D. By following her mother’s shopping list. 69、What does the underlined word “ feast ” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Large meal. B. Sweet dream. C. Happy story. D. Beautiful picture. 70. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. It is never too old to learn. B. Eat to live, but not live to eat. C. Neither food nor life should be wasted. D. There is no such thing as a free lunch. B 66. 【答案】D 【解析】根据第二段的第四句可知，答案为D。 67. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的第五六行“妈妈把烤肉剩下的油倒进瓶子，后又把它 用来做很多其他的菜”,可推断妈妈用烤肉后的油煮了土豆。答案为D。 68. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第二行“…planned next week's meals ahead of time.” 可 知，答案为C。 69. 【答案】A 【解析】词义猜测题。前句说“生活中是没有剩菜的”。这说明作者把生活比作了一顿大 餐。答案为A。 70. 【答案】C 【解析】主旨大意题。最后两段作者先讲到了自己继承了节约的好传统，后联系到人生， 倡导我们要生活得充实。答案为C。 C In recent years, there have been many films about robots trying to take over the world. Studies show that up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. Some people are worried about what might happen in the future. On 8th September, 2020, The Guardian published an article written by a robot called GPT-3. It wrote that “ robot ”comes from the Greek word for “ slave ” (奴隶) and humans have nothing to fear from robots, which are only here to help humans. However, the fact that a robot could write such an article has made some people feel even more uneasy. Where is the robot technology heading? Can robots and humans work together? ( YES — they ’ re here to help humans Robots are created by humans for humans. Robots take on jobs that are too dangerous for people to do by themselves. Although robots might take some people’s jobs, they will create new types of work, and they will possibly create more jobs than they take away. Besides, robots’ programming could actually make them more trustworthy than humans, because they are not influenced by feelings. ) ( NO — humans should not trust robots Robots are already taking over the world. Jobs that used to be done by human beings are now being taken by robots. Although robots are under our control now, that might not always be the case . An experiment in Switzerland found that some robots had learnt how to lie to each other. With the development of AI, robots could start to act in their own interests. Wherever possible, humans should do things themselves. ) What’s your opinion on this matter? 71. According to the article by GPT-3, the word “ robot ” comes from ______ . A. Greek B. English C. German D. French 72. When learning that GPT-3 could write an article, some people feel ______ . A. proud B. nervous C. excited D. relaxed 73. What advantage of robots is mentioned in the text? A. Creating all kinds of work. B. Developing filming technology. C. Working with different feelings. D. Doing dangerous work for humans. 74. What does the underlined part mean? A.

Other animals change their behavior before an earthquake as well．For example, fish in ponds or lakes begin swimming together in large group only in the middle of the water and not near the edges．Also, birds may fly away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected．These behaviors suggest that animals may be able to predict natural events, such as earthquakes, better than people． 【译文】　其他动物在地震前也会改变它们的行为方式。例如，池塘或湖泊中的鱼开始成群结队地游泳，只在水中央游，而不在边缘附近。此外，鸟类可能会飞离巢穴数天，抛下它们的蛋不再庇护。这些行为表明，动物可能比人类更能预测自然事件，比如地震。 71．If cows lie down，some farmers believe that________． A．a hurricane is approaching B．there is likely to be a rainstorm C．an earthquake is happening D．there is going to be a heavy snow 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“Or，when cows lie down，a rainstorm is coming．”可知，农民认为当奶牛躺下来，暴风雨可能就要来了。答案为B。 72．How do dogs behave just before an earthquake?

A．Fish in ponds swim together in the middle． B．Fish swim near the water edges． C．Birds stay near their nests． D．Birds take good care of their eggs． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“For example, fish in ponds or lakes begin swimming together in large group only in the middle of the water and not near the edges．”可知，在地震发生之前，水池里的鱼会成群聚集在水的中央。而鸟类是会飞离巢穴。答案为A。 75．What is the main idea of this text? A．What animals do during earthquakes． B．The frequent earthquakes in Japan． C．Animals' uncommon actions before natural events． D．Stories about farmers and scientists． 【解析】　此题为主旨大意题。此文主要讲述在自然事件发生之前，动物们的一些异常行为表现。答案为C。 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 （2020年·湖南对口真题） A Lisa's Gym Keep fit！Lose weight!

A．Strict but humorous．　　　　　　 B．Kind but uneducated． C．Helpful and hardworking．　　　　　　 D．Open­minded and supportive． 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据文中所述，徐霞客的母亲理解儿子，支持儿子去旅行，由此可知她是一位思想开放，给予支持的母亲。答案为D。 67．Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels? A．It offered him the chance to meet different kinds of people． B．It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time． C．It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail． D．It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中所述“…preferring to go almost everywhere on foot．This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world．”可知，徐霞客喜欢徒步旅行，是因为用这种方式他可以详细研究环境，真切了解自然世界。答案为C。 68．Which of the following is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake? A．It was only made public after Xu died． B．It made Xu very famous during his lifetime． C．It was the first travel book ever written in China． D．It was mainly about the different people of China． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中所述“When his diary was finally printed years after his death…”可知，《徐霞客游记》是一本旅行日记，是徐霞客死后才出版的，徐霞客生前也并没有因此出名。答案为A。 69．What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life? a．He went on his first journey． b．His book was finally printed．　 c．He returned to his hometown for the last time． d．He developed an interest in books about other places． e．He started managing the family farm after his father died． A．a－e－d－c－b B．d－e－a－c－b C．d－e－a－b－c D．a－b－c－d－e 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。通读全文可知，徐霞客的事迹按时间顺序排列为：对关于不同地方的书感兴趣——父亲死后管理农场——第一次旅行——最后一次回家——游记印刷出版。答案为B。 70．What is the passage mainly about? A．Xu's general life story． B．Xu's difficulties in his travels． C．Xu's important discoveries． D．Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake． 【解析】　此题为主旨大意题。本文主要讲了徐霞客的生平事迹。另外三个选项文中都有涉及，但不能概括本文的全部内容。答案为A。 C While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School．They became the world's first kids to be “taught” by an electronic teacher．This electronic teacher is not a human­like robot walking around the classroom．Instead, he is a computer­created head that appears, when needed, on students' computer or phone screens．His name is Bill． 【译文】　新学年的开始总是令人兴奋的，对于白云小学的一些学生来说，今年更是如此。他们成为世界上第一批由电子老师“教”的孩子。这个电子老师不是一个在教室里走来走去的人拟机器人。相反，他是一个电脑创造的头像，在需要时会出现在学生的电脑或手机屏幕上。他的名字叫比尔。 Created by technology company Smart Machines，Bill is able to show human­like behavior．He is designed to teach a special program about environmental­friendly power created by the sun and wind．This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers． 【译文】　比尔由智能机器科技公司创建，能表现出像人类一样的行为。他被设计用于教授一门关于太阳能和风能的环保能源的特别课程。这个课程开始于2005年，过去由人类教师教授。 Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic．Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students' physical actions．For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back．This two­way exchange helps get the students' attention．More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill's behavior and knowledge base when needed． 【译文】　比尔像人类教师一样，能够立即回应学生关于话题的提问和观点。多亏了电脑摄像头，他还能看到学生的身体动作并做出反应。例如，如果一个学生对比尔微笑，他也会回以微笑。这种双向交流有助于引起学生的注意。更重要的是，程序开发人员能在需要时改进比尔的行为和知识库。 The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost says, “What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill．He really captures their attention．” Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people do because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones． 【译文】　据智能机器公司的发言人罗伯特·弗罗斯特称，这个项目已经取得了巨大的成功，“我认为孩子们对比尔的反应很有趣。他确实俘获了孩子们的注意力”。弗罗斯特认为，孩子们不像年龄较长的人那样觉得接受智能机器教学很奇怪，因为他们是在电脑和智能手机时代长大的。 It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon．For one, this talking head's knowledge base is not large．More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily．Bill's future might be a “personal tutor”， providing kids with one­on­one help for different subjects and topics． 【译文】　然而，人类教育工作者是否会因为比尔的出现很快失业还不能确定。首先，这个会说话的头像的知识库并不大。更重要的是，即使是最聪明的计算机程序也无法猜测和应对教育工作者每天面临的所有意外情况。比尔未来可能会成为一个“私人家庭教师”，为孩子们提供不同科目和主题的一对一辅导。 71．What do we know about Bill?

A．To invite readers to join a styling club． B．To sell fashionable styling products． C．To offer advice on how to be different． D．To help students organize activities． 【解析】　此题为主旨大意题。综合全文大意可知，此文目的是吸引读者加入俱乐部。答案为A。 B Drugs come in different forms．However, can you imagine that drugs come in chicken eggs? A team of scientists from England prove that it can come true．They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside．These special drugs can help treat some kinds of diseases．Until now, they have made two kinds of drugs．One drug can treat skin cancer and the other can treat a nerve disease(神经性疾病)． 【译文】　药物有不同的形式。然而，你能想象药物以鸡蛋的样子出现吗？一个来自英国的科学家团队证明了这是可以实现的。他们培育出了一种特殊的鸡，这种鸡下的蛋里面含有药物。这些特殊的药物可以帮助治疗数种疾病。到目前为止，他们已经研发了两种药物。一种药物可以治疗皮肤癌，另一种则可以治疗一种神经性疾病。 Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites．These drugs are made of proteins(蛋白质) which can be found in animals' skin, hair, milk and meat．The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites．In this way, the chickens can stay healthy． 【译文】　这些特殊鸡群产的鸡蛋蛋清能生成特定的某些药物。这些药物由蛋白质组成，而这些蛋白质常见于动物的皮肤、毛发、奶液和肉中。科学家们还利用DNA技术确保药物只存在于蛋清中。这样，鸡群就可以保持健康。 Besides egg whites, drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep．Compared with cows and sheep, the special chickens have ascendancy over them．First, they are cheaper to raise．Second, they need less room and grow faster． 【译文】　除了蛋清，牛、羊的奶液也可以成为这些由蛋白质组成药物的载体。与牛和羊相比，特殊鸡群占了优势。首先，饲养成本更低。其次，它们需要的空间更小，并且长得更快。 These special chickens can pass on their drug­producing ability to their children．So far, five generations of the special chickens have appeared．But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect．It's said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years． 【译文】　这些特殊鸡群的产药能力是能遗传给后代的。到目前为止，特殊鸡群已经衍生到第五代了。但是科学家可能需要更多的时间来完善药物。据称科学家们将在五到十年内实现他们的梦想。 66．The special drugs in chicken eggs can now be used to treat ________． A．lung cancer B．heart disease C．skin cancer D．blood disease 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。文章第一段最后明确指出，这种特殊的药可以用于治疗skin cancer 和a nerve disease。选项意为：“lung cancer肺癌；heart disease心脏病；skin cancer皮肤癌；blood disease血液病”。 67．Why must the drugs be only in the egg white? A．To ensure the chickens keep healthy． B．To produce more egg whites． C．To cut the cost of raising chickens． D．To make the proteins grow faster． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。文中“In this way, the chickens can stay healthy．”交代了科学家运用DNA技术的目的。答案为A。 68．The underlined word “ascendancy” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________． A．problem B．effect C．advantage D．demand 【解析】　此题为词义猜测题。根据后文“饲养成本更低”“需要的空间更小，并且生长更快”的比较可推测，这里指的是特殊鸡的群种优势。advantage与之词义相近。 69．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．The drugs have already worked well on patients． B．Scientists will realize their dream within five years． C．Most chickens have the ability to produce the drugs． D．Scientists are confident about the future of the drugs． 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，药物还处于试验阶段，科学家将在五到十年内实现他们的梦想。另外，只有培育出来的特殊鸡才有产药能力，文中也没有提到药物用于病人了，因此A、B、C三项可排除。 【温馨提示】　做此题时，要考虑到时态的语法知识。现在完成时表示动作已经完成。 70．The passage is mainly about the way of ________． A．making chickens lay more eggs B．producing drugs in chicken eggs C．treating diseases more effectively D．increasing the production of chickens 【解析】　此题为主旨大意题。综合全文所述可知，这篇文章主要讲利用鸡蛋生产药物。答案为B。 C We had an enormous(巨大的) apple tree in our garden only a few yards from the kitchen window． 【译文】　我们的花园里有一棵巨大的苹果树，离厨房的窗户只有几码远。(注：“yard”可以表示院子，也可以作为长度单位，1码相当于0.9米。) “We really must cut that tree down，” my husband said, soon after we moved into the house．“I'm sure it's dangerous．” 【译文】　“我们真的必须砍倒那棵树。”我们搬进房子后不久，我丈夫说，“我敢肯定它很危险。” “Don't be silly, ” I said．I quite liked the tree myself．“It's quite safe．It isn't going to fall down on the house！” 【译文】　“别傻了。”我说。我本身确实很喜欢这棵树。“它很安全。它不会倒在房子上的！” “Well, I read something in the paper only the other day, ” he said．“A tree crashed into a woman's bedroom during a storm and now she's in hospital！” 【译文】　“嗯，我前几天才在报纸上看到一些东西。”他说，“一棵树在暴风雨中撞进了一个女人的卧室，现在她住院了！” In the end, after several arguments of this kind, we asked a couple of workmen to come along and cut the tree down． 【译文】　最后，经过几次这样的争论，我们请了几个工人过来把树砍倒。 “What about the roots？” the men asked．“Shall we take them out too or leave them？” 【译文】　“那树根呢？”工人们问道，“我们是把它们也挖出来还是留下来？” “Oh, take them out, ” I said．“Let's make a good job of it！” 【译文】　“哦，挖出来吧。”我说，“让我们好好干吧！” This took all afternoon and I was beginning to think about the size of the bill！There was a big hole in the garden! 【译文】　这事花了一整个下午，我开始操心这得花多少钱了！花园里有个大坑！ “You'll be able to put all your old rubbish in there！” the men said as they left． 【译文】　“你可以把所有的垃圾都丢进去了！”工人们离开时说。 My husband climbed down into the hole and began to look around． 【译文】　我丈夫爬进坑里，开始四下打量。 “Hey, look！” he called up to me．“There are some old coins here！And I think they're gold！” 【译文】　“嘿，你看！”他抬头喊我，“这里有一些古老的硬币！我觉得它们是黄金的！” I climbed down into the hole and we started to dig around, hoping to find some more coins．We did—and we also find a small metal box．We broke it open．It was full of jewelry—rings, necklaces and bracelets! 【译文】　我也爬进坑里，我们开始四处挖掘，希望能找到更多的硬币。我们的确找到了——还找到了一个小金属盒。我们把它砸开。里面全是珠宝——戒指、项链和手镯！ “Gosh！” I said．“I suppose someone hid these things in the ground—perhaps during a war！” 【译文】　“天哪！”我说，“我猜是有人把这些东西藏在地下了——也许是在战争期间吧！” “They are probably worth a small fortune！” my husband said．“Well, aren't you glad now that you got rid of the old tree？” 【译文】　“它们可能值点小钱呢！”我丈夫说，“好吧，你现在还不高兴挖掉那棵老树吗？” 71．The writer's husband insisted on cutting down the tree because it ________． A．might fall down on their house B．would reach to the window C．might grow into the kitchen D．would grow too large for the garden 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据文中作者的丈夫所说“A tree crashed into a woman's bedroom during a storm and now she's in hospital！”可以推断，他坚持要砍掉大树，是因为他读了一些报道，担心大树可能会倒下来压到房子。答案为A。 72．What can we infer about the woman in the newspaper? A．She fell down from a tree in her garden． B．She had arguments with her husband． C．She hurt herself trying to come down a tree． D．She was hurt by a tree crashing into her bedroom． 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据文中作者的丈夫所说“A tree crashed into a woman's bedroom during a storm and now she's in hospital！”可以推断，女人因为大树倒下来撞进了她的卧室，而受伤住院。答案为D。 73．What was found when the roots were taken out? A．A large bill． B．A big hole． C．A lot of rubbish． D．Some more roots． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“There was a big hole in the garden！”可知，挖掉树根之后，花园里留下一个大坑。答案为B。 74．As the couple dug around, they found ________． A．more coins B．some apples C．some papers D．wooden boxes 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“I climbed down into the hole and we started to dig around, hoping to find some more coins．We did…”可知，他们发现了更多金币。答案为A。 75．How did the couple feel in the end? A．Proud． B．Unfortunate． C．Happy． D．Discouraged． 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据文中所述，虽然妻子最开始不同意砍树，但他们最后得到了一些金银珠宝，应是非常高兴。答案为C。 （2018年·湖南对口真题） 阅读下面短文,从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项， 将答案填涂在答题卡上 A Want a nice house for just $600 a week? 【译文】　想租一套每周只要600美元的好房子吗？ This house is on Wellington Road in the City of Melbourne．It is just opposite Monash University．It is well kept by the owner．Outside the house, there is a garage and a yard in the front．On the first floor, there is a living room, a dining room, a kitchen，and a laundry(洗衣房)．On the second floor, there is one big bathroom and three bedrooms，fully furnished(带家具的)．It is the best for this price！Please call Peter at ＋61 3 9905 1777 in the daytime if you want to rent it． 【译文】　这所房子位于墨尔本市的惠灵顿路，就在蒙纳士大学对面。房主将这间房子保管得很好。房子外面有一间车库和一个院子。一楼有客厅、餐厅、厨房和洗衣房。二楼有一间大浴室和三间卧室，家具齐全。这个价格是最好的！如果您想租，请在白天打＋61 3 9905 1777找皮特。 61．The ad is aimed at those who want to ________． A．rent a house B．buy a house C．repair a house D．decorate a house 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文章最后一句可知，该广告是房屋出租(rent)，不是买(buy)房，不是修缮(repair)房子，也不是装修(decorate)房子。答案选A。 62．Where is the house?

A．Because they often hunt at night． B．Because they live in the wild． C．Because their eyes can give off light． D．Because they need more light to see than people． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据第三段的第二、三句，可以判断因为猫在野外经常在夜间出猎，人们才会以为猫能在完全黑暗的环境视物。其他选项不符合文意，选项C文中没有提及，选项D本段最后一句写明了“猫视物比人需要更少的光线”。答案为A。 69．What is the best time to choose a guinea pig for a pet in a pet store? A．About 7 a.m. B．About 11 a.m. C．About 1 p.m. D．About 6 p.m. 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句“如果你想选择一只豚鼠作为宠物，最好在下午晚些时候(in the late afternoon)去宠物店”可知，下午6点符合题意。答案为D。 70．What is the text mainly about? A．Knowledge of animals． B．Instructions on training animals． C．Advertisements for selling animals． D．Relationships between animals． 【解析】　此题为主旨大意题。这篇文章讲了关于几种动物的趣味知识，不是讲训练动物，不是买卖动物的广告，也不是介绍动物之间的关系。答案为A。 C Dear Pat, 【译文】　亲爱的帕特： Some time ago, I asked you about the best way to travel to Edinburgh overnight(在夜间) and you advised me to go by coach．“It's cheap and convenient, ” you said, “and very comfortable．” Well, I took your advice．Now let me tell you what happened． 【译文】　前段时间，我问你夜间去爱丁堡旅游的最佳方式，你建议我坐长途汽车去。“既便宜又方便，”你说，“而且很舒服。”嗯，我接受了你的建议。现在让我告诉你发生了什么。 We left on time and stopped for supper at a cafe at about 9：30 p.m.It wasn't the sort of place I like eating in and it was also very crowded．So I decided to buy some chocolate． 【译文】　我们准时出发，晚上9点半左右在一家咖啡馆吃晚饭。我不喜欢在那种地方吃饭，而且也很拥挤。所以我决定买些巧克力。 We set off again at 10：15 p.m.The lights went off and I settled down to get some sleep．However, the people just behind me kept on talking loudly．When I eventually fell asleep, the people behind me woke me up！“You're snoring loudly，” they said, “and keeping us awake！” After that I hardly slept at all． 【译文】　晚上10点15分我们又出发了。熄灯后，我安顿下来想睡一会儿。然而，我后面的人持续不停地大声说话。当我终于睡着，后面的人却把我叫醒了！“你打鼾的声音太大了，”他们说，“吵得我们睡不着觉！”从那以后，我就几乎没睡了。 The rest of the journey was like a long bad dream．Then at about 5：30 a.m., about 40 miles south of Edinburgh, the coach broke down and wouldn't start after a long period of repair．In the end, the driver had to send for another one and we all had to change coaches—in the rain！By that time，I was very hungry and I was longing for a nice hot drink．I got one—when we finally reached Edinburgh at nine o'clock！By then I was so tired that I went straight to bed and stayed there for the rest of the day—the first day of my holiday! 【译文】　剩下的旅程就像一个漫长的噩梦。大约在早上5点30分，长途汽车在爱丁堡以南40英里左右的地方抛锚了，维修了很久仍然无法启动。最后，司机不得不再叫来一辆汽车，我们都得换车——并且是在雨中！那时我又饿，又渴望喝一杯热饮。当我们终于在九点到达爱丁堡的时候，我才喝到热饮！那时我太累了，于是直接上床睡觉了，在床上度过了这一天——我假期的第一天！ As you can imagine, I don't intend to travel by coach again overnight．Of course I'm not blaming you for all this—but thanks for the advice! 【译文】　你可以想象，我再也不打算夜间坐长途汽车旅行了。当然，我不是在为这一切责怪你——总之谢谢你的建议！ Yours, Ron 【译文】　你的， 罗恩 71．Pat said that traveling to Edinburgh by coach overnight was ________． A．inconvenient B．uncomfortable C．inexpensive D．unsafe 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“…and you advised me to go by coach．‘It's cheap and convenient, ’ you said, ‘and very comfortable．’”可知，帕特(即收信人)说坐长途汽车便宜、舒适且非常方便。文中没提到安全。答案为C。 72．How long did the coach stop for supper? A．About 15 minutes． B．About half an hour． C．About 45 minutes． D．About an hour． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“晚上9点半左右在一家咖啡馆吃晚饭”和“晚上10点15分我们又出发了”简单计算可知，时长约为45分钟。答案为C。 73．By saying “You're snoring loudly”，the people meant ________． A．Ron was making a noise B．Ron was having a good sleep C．Ron was dreaming D．Ron was awake 【解析】　此题为句子释义题。句子“You're snoring loudly”意思是“你打鼾的声音太大了”。结合下文“and keeping us awake(让我们睡不着)”理解，人们这么说实际是表达罗恩打鼾吵到他们了。答案为A。 74．When the coach arrived in Edinburgh, Ron was ________． A．energetic B．excited C．frightened D．exhausted 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“…when we finally reached Edinburgh at nine o'clock！By then I was so tired…”可知，罗恩到达爱丁堡时已经非常疲劳了。“tired”和exhausted是一对近义词，表示“疲劳的，筋疲力尽的”。答案为D。 75．Why did Ron write the letter?

Expectations(期望) are very high for students．Even from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing．I sometimes felt that my first­grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US(this is the same as the 6th grade in China)！Yet his parents and school thought he was a bad student．But to me, he was smart, even though he didn't meet his parents' expectations． 【译文】　我听说在中国的学校情况是不一样的。(人们)对学生的期望是很高的。即使才开始读一年级，对我在南京的亲戚来说，作业也是相当多的。我有时觉得我一年级的中国表弟花在家庭作业上的时间比我在美国读六年级的时候(这和中国的六年级是一样的)都要多！然而他的父母和学校都认为他是个差生。但在我看来，尽管他没有达到他父母的期望，他也很聪明。 Do you think it's too strict in China？Or do you think that it's not strict enough in America？Maybe both are true! 【译文】　你觉得中国(教育)太严格了吗？或者你认为在美国(教育)不够严格？也许两者都是真的！ 66．The writer's little brother got a red flag yesterday because he ________． A．did something good B．worked hard enough C．got top scores D．made trouble in class 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据文中“The note showed that he had been talking during reading time．”可知，小弟在阅读时间不停地讲话，制造麻烦，因此得到一面小红旗。注意，在中国，小朋友表现好时，老师会奖励小红旗或小红花等，以资鼓励。而在美国，事情恰恰相反，小朋友犯了错误，制造了麻烦，老师会给予小红旗以示警告，相当于球赛中的黄牌警告。本题选D。 67．When students get “OK”， it means they get ________ scores in their schoolwork． A．top B．medium C．the lowest D．the best 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。根据文中“…he never gets top scores in his schoolwork．The best he gets is ‘OK’， but often his score is ‘You can do better than this．’…would mean ‘Very bad’ in China．”可知，小弟得到的成绩从来不是最好的，经常是“Very bad”。由此推知，“OK”只能算是中等水平。本题选B。 68．Many parents in America don't get ________ when their kids get a B­grade in their school． A．crazy B．tired C．puzzled D．satisfied 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“Many parents are pleased with a B­grade for each subject．”可知，许多美国家长对于孩子的各科成绩全得了B等已经很满意了，即他们不会生气，不会抓狂。本题选A。 69．From the passage we can learn ________． A．American teachers are better than Chinese teachers B．expectations in China are too high for students C．teachers should be strict with their students D．Chinese teachers are not kind enough to students 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。A选项“美国老师比中国老师更好”，此文客观地陈述了中美教育的差异，并没有评价谁优谁劣，故不选A。B选项“中国人对学生的期望太高了”，文中第三段有一句相同的表述，符合文中的观点，为正确选项。C选项，文中没有表达老师对学生应该严格的观点。D选项“中国老师对学生不够好”，显然不对。答案为B。 70．The story mainly tells us ________． A．about the different expectations for students between China and America B．Chinese kids spend less time on schoolwork than American kids do C．it's as strict in American schools as that in Chinese schools D．Chinese teachers should treat students like American teachers 【解析】　此题为主旨大意题。A选项“关于中美之间对学生的期望的差异”，符合文章的主旨大意，为正确选项。B选项“中国孩子花在学业上的时间比美国孩子少”，与文意相反。C选项“美国学校和中国学校对学生要求一样严格”， 与文意不符。D选项“中国老师应该像美国老师那样对待学生”，文中并没有倡导这样的观点，最后一段留下了开放性设问，答案为A。 C Hover Camera 【译文】　　　　　　悬停无人相机 Wang Mengqiu, the inventor of Hover Camera, was born in Hangzhou in 1982．He once studied at Stanford University in the United States．He became famous overnight(一夜成名) because of the invention． 【译文】　王孟秋，悬停无人相机的发明者，1982年出生于杭州。他曾在美国斯坦福大学学习。因为这项发明，他一夜成名。 Forget selfie sticks(自拍杆)！Compared to other cameras, Hover Camera has many advantages． 【译文】　忘了自拍杆吧！与其他相机相比，悬停无人相机有许多优点。 *It can fly and stay in mid­air, track your face and even follow you to make sure it gets the perfect picture． 【译文】　它可以在半空中飞行和停留，可以跟脸拍，甚至跟人拍，以确保拍到完美的照片。 *It can be controlled by using a smart phone(智能手机)． 【译文】　它可以用智能手机控制。 *It records movements with a 13MP camera and takes 4K video． 【译文】　它配备一个1 300万像素的摄像头记录运动画面，并可以拍摄4K分辨率的视频。 *It is the best choice for weddings, sports games and holidays． 【译文】　它是婚礼、运动会和假日拍摄的最佳选择。 Mr．Wang also said, “The main design consideration is easy and safe to take for the users．It's very light and small．It can be folded(折叠) in two, so it can be easily put into a bag．When the power is low, it can land on the ground safely on its own．” 【译文】　王先生还说：“设计时主要考虑是为方便用户轻松安全地携带。它又轻又小。它可以对折，所以很容易放进袋子里。当电量低时，它可以自行安全着陆。” It's reported that the company has raised $25 million to produce it．As it is still being tested, Hover Camera can be bought later this year． 【译文】　据报道，该公司已经筹集了2 500万美元用来生产。由于仍在测试中，悬停无人相机在今年晚些时候可以买到。 The price has not yet been decided．But a spokesman says the company hopes to sell it for less than $600． 【译文】　悬停无人相机的售价尚未确定。但一位发言人说，公司希望以低于600美元的价格出售它。 71．Hover Camera can ________． A．swim in the river B．fly in the mid­air C．change its weight D．be used as a phone 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。根据文中“It can fly and stay in mid­air…”可知，该无人机能在空中飞，选B。文中没有提到该无人机能入水，不选A。关于重量，文中提到它又轻又小，没说它能改变重量，不选C。文中提到它可以用智能手机控制，没说它能被当成手机用，不选D。答案为B。 72．The underlined word “track” means ________． A．pull B．follow C．push D．show 【解析】　此题为词义猜测题。track和follow是近义词，都可以表示“跟随，追踪”。答案为B。 73．According to the passage，why is Hover Camera easy and safe to take? A．It's light and small． B．It can be folded in three． C．It doesn't need power． D．Because only a smart phone can make it land． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。文中提到它又轻又小，所以方便携带，选A。文中提到它可以对折(can be folded in two)，而不是三折，不选B。文中提到当电量低时，它可以自行安全着陆，说明它需要电源，不选C。它不需要手机自己就能落地，不选D。答案为A。 74．Which is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．The price of Hover Camera． B．The time to buy Hover Camera． C．The ways to control Hover Camera． D．The place to buy Hover Camera． 【解析】　此题为事实细节题。文中提到了该公司希望以低于600美元的价格出售该无人机，不选A。文中提到了什么时候可以买到无人机，即今年晚些时候可以买到，不选B。文中提到了怎样控制无人机，即用智能手机控制，不选A。文中没提到去何处买无人机，选D。答案为D。 75．According to the passage，Wang Mengqiu is a ________ young man． A．brave B．quiet C．creative D．humorous 【解析】　此题为推理判断题。文中的主人公王孟秋，悬停无人相机的发明者，是一个发明家、科学家，显然是有创意的、有创造力的，选C。其他选项提到的勇敢、文静、幽默的品质，文中没有体现。答案为C。 $$
