And he didn’t even study for the exam. The real reason was that he had all the answers. Two days before the exam, he found a test paper with all the answers on his teacher’s desk. He copied it. When the exam started, Ben looked at the test paper and couldn’t believe his eyes. It was not that paper! Ben was so disappointed. The next day, Ben got his test paper back and of course, he didn’t pass the exam. All day Ben thought about what he did. After school, he went to the teacher’s office and told him everything. “I’m happy that you can tell me this.” said the teacher, “I will help you study after school from now on.

Many people think about big and modern machines in car factories or films. Few of us think about the past. But people were building unbelievable machines with human abilities hundreds of years ago! Philo of Byzantium, an ancient Greek inventor, built a robot thousands of years ago. If someone placed a cup in the robot’s hand, it would mix water and wine (葡萄酒) to make a drink. But it wasn’t popular because people didn’t need robots to work at that time. Another ancient robot was a robotic arm called “The Claw”. Polybius, the Greek writer, wrote about it in 213 BC． It was built during a war with the Romans and hung over the city wall towards the sea. When a Roman ship came close, the arm picked up the front of it and lifted the ship into the air. Then the ship fell backward (向后) into the sea and sank (下沉). Again, we don’t know whether the machine was built, but it was possible with Ancient Greek technology. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous artist, loved designing robots. Few of his designs were built, but his plans were very detailed (详细的). Mark Rosheim, a modern-day robot engineer, still learns from those ideas when he works! One of Leonardo da Vinci’s robots was a lion. He built it in 1515. It could walk and present flowers! In 2009, engineers used the plans to rebuild the robot lion. It worked perfectly. As time went by, more and more robots were built, and they could do more difficult tasks, such as playing the flute (长笛), writing, and drawing a picture. Although modern technology has moved on, these historical robots still amaze people today. 8．What does “The Claw” probably look like, according to Paragraph 3? A． B． C． 9．Which of the following words can be used to describe Leonardo da Vinci, according to Paragraph 4? A．Perfect. B．Talented. C．Good-looking. 10．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2. . . ) A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ 11．The writer wrote the passage mainly to _________. A．tell a few interesting ancient stories B．encourage more scientists to work on robots C．show some amazing robots from ancient times 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。 Maybe you wouldn’t say yesterday was a happy day, because you had a misunderstanding with your friend. 12 Now that you think about it, wasn’t there a letter from an old friend, or a stranger who asked where you got such a great haircut? You remember having a bad day, yet those good moments occurred（发生）. 13 You can’t order her appearance, you can only appreciate（感激、欣赏）her when she does show up. And you can’t force happiness to happen, but you can make sure you are aware（意识到的）of it when it does. 14 It’s cleaning the windows while listening to a song, or spending a pleasant hour organizing your bookcase. 15 It’s in the present, not in the distant（遥远的）promise of a “someday when …” How much luckier we are and how much more happiness we experience —if we can fall in love with the life we’re living. Happiness is a choice. 16 A．Reach out for it at the moment it appears. B．Happiness is your family assembling（聚集）at dinner. C．Happiness is like a visitor.
