When taking a walk in China，I often see some elderly people listen to classical music on a radio or watch TV dramas with their phones' players.Light exercise is also popular.I once saw some elderly persons walking backward while clapping their hands as a way of exercising，and others playing Taiji.Many old ladies dance together in public squares.Some old men like to get together in the park and play Chinese chess. In the US，elderly people are less active than Chinese.They don't play chess.Instead，they play cards.Card games are a great way to meet people and have fun.Elderly people are often lonely，but hobbies like playing cards can bring friends together. Elderly people in the US also enjoy gardening and baking.Grandmothers like baking sweet treats，such as cookies or muffins（松饼），for their grandchildren.Gardening gives them a chance to get a little bit of exercise and fresh air，as well as get vegetables and fruit to cook with.And of course，gossiping（聊八卦） with their elderly friends is popular as well. （1）What hobbies are popular among elderly women in China？ 　 　 a.Doing light exercise. b.Dancing in the square. c.Playing Chinese chess. d.Making muffins. A.ab B.ac C.bc D.bd （2）Why do elderly people in the US like playing cards？ 　 　 A.To learn some Chinese. B.To get the joy of winning. C.To get a little bit of exercise.

Much like humans，Ozmo，hanging off the sides of the building，uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass windows.A3﹣D map of the building programmed into its system allows the robot to move up and down.Computer vision and touch sensors（传感器） enable it to move out of the way when accidents happened，such as the sudden opening of a window.And the robot will self﹣correct and move around it so as not to break a window. Unlike other window washers，the robot cleaner does not need soap or Windex to clean the glass.Instead，it uses purified water to do the job.It is environmentally friendly. While it takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean the windows of a 40﹣story glass building，a robot will complete the task in just 80 hours alone.However，unlike other robots，Ozmo will not replace（取代） human workers，only making their jobs safer. Whether Ozmo，which is still being tested，does as good a job as humans is not very certain.Past efforts to use a robot to do this dangerous job have not been successful，because the machines do not have the same eye as humans and often miss the soot（烟垢） collected on window corners. （1）The underlined word "lucrative"in the passage probably means" 　 　". A.安全的 B.危险的 C.赚钱的 D.亏损的 （2）The second paragraph mainly tells us 　 　. A.where Ozmo can do its job skillfully B.how Ozmo works to clean the glass smartly C.why Ozmo is much smarter than human workers D.what makes Ozmo a smart window cleaning robot （3）What does Ozmo use to clean the glass？ 　 　 A.Windex. B.Soap. C.Grime or soot. D.Purified water. （4）Which of the following is TRUE about Ozmo？ 　 　 A.Ozmo can replace human workers completely. B.As a smart window cleaning robot，Ozmo is successful. C.Ozmo can make human window washers do their jobs safely. D.Ozmo does harm to the environment while cleaning the window. 4．（8分） A student asked his teacher，"Sir，I have a question.How many friends should a person have﹣﹣one or many？""It is easy，"the teacher answered."Get me that red apple from the highest branch（树枝） of the tree."The student looked up and said，"It's too high!I can't reach it.""Ask a friend.Maybe he can help，"the teacher suggested.（1）　 　 "I still can't reach it，sir，"said the student sadly after the first try."Don't you have more friends？"the teacher smiled.（2）　 　 They stood on each other's shoulders，trying to make a human pyramid（金字塔）.But the apple was so high that they couldn't go higher and the pyramid fell.（3）　 　 Then one of the friends went home，brought a ladder（梯子） and the students finally picked the apple.

Attached more than 1，400 meters straight up the side of Tianmen Mountain in China's Zhangjiajie City，the Coiling Dragon Cliff Skywalk is hardly believed.It is like a magical beast who rules over a heart﹣stopping precipice（悬崖），attracting the people to an exciting journey there to test their bravery and strength. At about 100 meters long and only about 1.6 meters wide，all the skywalk is made of glass that is only 6.35 centimeters thick!So when you open your eyes on the skywalk you'll be met with crazy sights of Tongtian Avenue﹣a mountain road with 99 tight turns，and more than one kilometer drop directly under the clear glass floor. Opened in August 2016，the glass walkway provides brave tourists with an experience quite different from the wooden（木质的） walkway，enjoying panoramic（全景的） views of Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park far below. Getting to the skywalk involves a 30﹣minute ride on the world's longest cable car（缆车）.Keep in mind that if you don't get the best selfie（自拍照） on the way up in the cable car，you're sure to get the perfect moment on the ride back down. （1）The Coiling Dragon Cliff Skywalk is a good place for 　 　 and 　 　 persons to go.（用合适的形容词填空） （2）How high is the Coiling Dragon Cliff Skywalk？ 　 　 （3）According to Paragraph 3，what can you see on the skywalk？ 　 　 （4）请将文中划线句子翻译成汉语。 　 　 （5）Do you want to go to the Coiling Dragon Cliff Skywalk？Why？ 　 　 四、作文（内容15 分，卷面5分，满分20分） 10．（20分）假设你是李华，你的美国笔友Jack对中国学生的研学旅行很感兴趣。请你写一封邮件向他介绍你的一次研学经历。80词左右。 要点： （1）When and where did you go？ （2）What did you do？ （3）How did you feel？ 要求： （1）禁止抄袭本试题中的语篇； （2）文中不能出现真实的校名和人名。 Dear Jack， I'd like to share something fun about our study tour to _____with you. _______________ Yours， Li Hua 参考答案 一、阅读理解（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 1．C； D； C； 2．A； D； D； C； 3．C； B； D； C； 4．E； D； C； B； 二、语言知识运用（满分15分）完形填空（共10题；每题1.5分，共15分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 5．A； B； D； A； C； B； D； A； C； D； 阅读下面的对话，从方框内选择合适的词填空。（每空1分，共5分） 6．E； F； C； D； B； 根据汉语补全句子，每空词数不限。（每空2分，共10分） 7．I was tidying； was really interesting； things from different countries； such as a silk fan； think about my hobby； 阅读下面短文，用括号内所给词的适当形式填空，必要时可加助动词。（每空1.5分，共15分） 8．falls； Celebrating； interested； spending； countries； named； traditional； have； happily； have changed； 三、任务型阅读（共15分） 9．strong； brave； More than 1400 meters.； A mountain road with 99 tight turns，and more than one kilometer drop directly under the clear glass floor.； 玻璃栈道为勇敢的游客提供了与木质栈道截然不同的体验； Yes，I do.Because looking down from the top is exciting.； 四、作文（内容15 分，卷面5分，满分20分） 10．Dear Jack， I'd like to share something fun about our study tour to Xi'an with you，the ancient capital of China.Last summer，we started this interesting journey.
