However, a new robot from Panasonic can’t do any of these things. The new robot, called NICOBO, can’t do so much at all. NICOBO is a soft, “weak” robot. Its name comes from the Japanese word for “smile”. It is invented to accompany people who live alone or feel lonely. So what can NICOBO do? Well, it can shake its tail if you pet (抚摸) it. It can turn around, nod up and down, and move its eyes to look at you. It speaks its own language and can also learn some simple Japanese and talk with its owner. The robot, which is about the size of a bowling ball (保龄球), has a little child’s voice. The idea is that looking after a “weak” childlike robot will make people feel less lonely. However, NICOBO isn’t cheap. The robot itself is $460. And there’s also a monthly cost of $8 for software updates (软件升级). Will anyone buy it? Of course. 320 NICOBO robots made by Panasonic were all sold out online within a day. So I believe more and more people will buy it. 4．What do we know about NICOBO? A．It is a soft robot. B．It can clean your home. C．It can learn some simple Chinese. 5．What does the underlined word “accompany” mean in Paragraph 3? A．监控 B．陪伴 C．调查 6．How much should you pay if you buy a NICOBO and use it for one month? A．$8. B．$460. C．$468. 7．Which of the following does the writer agree with? A．NICOBO sold very well. B．Few people will buy NICOBO C．NICOBO can only be bought offline. C Would you be able to sleep with one eye open? Bottlenose dolphins (宽吻海豚) can. When they sleep, only half of their brain goes to sleep. They sleep with one eye open to stay safe. Half of their brain sleeps for about two hours before the other half of their brain gets a chance to sleep. Sometimes, the dolphins will keep swimming while they are sleeping. Dolphins are not fish—they are mammals (哺乳动物). These mammals have lungs (肺). And they don’t have gills (腮) like fish. They are also warm-blooded and have to go to the surface of the water to get air into their lungs. Dolphins don’t lay eggs. Their young are born alive, and they drink milk from their mothers. Dolphins are one of the smartest animals in the world. There are many stories about how they save people out of water. They are able to solve many problems like humans. They can even use tools to catch fish. But their cleverness doesn’t end there. Dolphins can also pass on anything they learn to other dolphins, like interesting fishing skills. They communicate with each other in many ways. They use different sounds to talk to each other. Dolphins know the “voices” of other dolphins and even know exactly who is making which sound. Another thing that shows their cleverness is that they can also know themselves in a mirror (镜子) and check different parts of their body in it. 8．Why do bottlenose dolphins sleep with one eye open? A．To stay safe. B．To sleep for two hours. C．To swim faster. 9．What can we learn about dolphins from paragraph 2? A．They use gills to get air. B．They are warm-blooded. C．They lay eggs like fish. 10．How do dolphins talk to each other? A．By learning fishing skills. B．By using different sounds. C．By checking their bodies. 11．Which part of a magazine may the passage be taken from? A．Art. B．Health. C．Nature. 第二节(共4小题;每小题2分，满分8分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 No matter who you are and where you live, the most important thing is what kind of person you are. 12 Among them the following qualities (品质) are the most helpful ones.

Cheer up! 13 When you smile in front of it, it will also smile at you. Keep learning. Maybe you are used to your present life. Every day you have so much work to do, you can’t find any time to learn.

In the modern world, the students who have creative thinking are needed most. 15 Those who are creative have more choices in their life. 16 Honesty is the best policy (策略). Nobody likes a person who tells lies. The one who keeps his words is popular everywhere. As long as you have these qualities mentioned above, you will be excellent and make a difference to the world.

Good habits can be hard to start, but once you get going, it’s like riding a 26 . Each small push of the pedals (脚蹬) carries you forward. You just have to work at it one day at a time.

They can make it easier for everyone to feel comfortable in social situations. 1. Here are some rules that may help you become a politer person. In public, it is kind to hold the door open for others, especially when you see someone with arms full. Never allow a door to shut heavily on anyone following you. 2. 这会让他们感到不舒服。But it is not a good idea to hold a door open when someone is far away. This might cause them to hurry up for the door. Show kindness to people who work for you, such as waiters, shopkeepers and postmen. It is kind to smile and say “Thank you” to them. 3. 他们努力工作、以便我们能享受我们的生活。 Take off your headphones before you speak to someone and look at them while listening. At the end of a phone call with people older than you, it’s proper to make sure they end the phone call first. Don’t cut in on people when they talk. Hear them out before expressing your own opinion. 4. Allow them to voice their opinions, even when you don’t agree with them. Use your communication skills instead of raising your voice to express yourself. Please be careful with your behaviors (行为) and always show kindness. 5. When kind behaviors are repeated again and again, they turn into habits. 37． 38． 39． 40． 41． 第二节(共1小题，满分15 分) 42．新西兰某中学现招募志愿者，为其参加“汉语桥”(Chinese Bridge)中文演讲比赛的选手进行线上辅导。假如你是李华，请根据下面要点和要求，用英语写一封不少于40词的自荐信。 要点： （1）表达意愿； （2）说明优势。 要求：要点齐全；表述通顺；简洁得体。 Dear Sir or Madam, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 参考答案 1．A 2．B 3．A 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．A 9．B 10．B 11．C 12．D 13．A 14．C 15．E 16．B 17．B 18．C 19．B 20．A 21．A 22．C 23．C 24．B 25．B 26．C 27．ships 28．but 29．haven’t lost 30．himself 31．a 32．on 33．the worst 34．completely 35．was repairing 36．to save 37．这里有一些规则可以帮助你成为一个更有礼貌的人。 38．This may let them feel uncomfortable. 39．They work hard so that we can enjoy our lives. 40．允许他们为自己的意见发声，即使当你不同意他们的时候。 41．当善意的行为一次又一次地重复，它们就会变成习惯。 42．例文 Dear Sir or Madam, I’m Li Hua and I’d like to be a volunteer to provide online tutoring for the contestants in the Chinese speech contest.
