Sleep is a 16 part of human life, but many people in the modern world don’t realize it’s very important. In 2020, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece did a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, 17 China, Belgium and South Africa. Among the people, sleep problems are quite common. There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have 18 sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. Usually eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount, but others may 19 more. Anyway, sleep should always be enough to make one bring back his strength and get ready for a day’s work. Complete the following passages with the words or phrases in the box.

A new study by a researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology has found that in fact it’s possible for robots to fool us here and there, they are just less perfect than human. Inspired by the Turing Test, Agnieszka Wykowska came up with an experiment using a child-sized human-like robot called iCub. Sitting in front of a screen, the people in the test were asked to press a button when a green box appeared on the screen, however, iCub only responded to red boxes Wykowska programmed the robot to take different lengths of time to respond, just like a person would. Afterwards, the humans were asked to judge whether they had been competing with a machine or a person according to the time of the buttions being pressed—and they couldn’t tell. Wykowska believes that making robots have more human responses is the key to making better robots and creating more trust between humans and robots. In another study with iCub, the robot and a human watched special videos of animals. In the first set of tests, iCub greeted the person, asked for his name and kept eye contact with its camera “eyes”. It made comments about the videos, laughed and showed emotions (情感). In the second experiment, however, iCub did not communicate with human and just made machine-like noises. The researchers found that people believe that the more human iCub is, the more it has its own thoughts and desires. The team now wants to know if people can communicate with robots that do not look human but that still show human-like actions. The researchers plan to repeat the experiments, using robots of different shapes and sizes, to see how people give their responses. 38．A new study at the Italian Institute of Technology has found that robots________. A．aren’t so clever as machines B．can possibly fool us here and there C．are more perfect than human D．plan to do a lot of research work 39．ICub in this article is________.

A．watch special videos of humans B．keep eye contact with its camera “eyes” C．greet the person and ask for his name D．make comments and show emotions 42．In the second experiment, people believe that if iCub is more human-like, it has ________. A．more machine-like noises B．more human-like actions C．more different shapes and sizes D．more thoughts and desires of its own 43．Which information is RIGHT in this passage? A．Robots are no longer machines and they have been our friends for a long time. B．Wykowska did some experiments but failed to find if iCub had any human responses. C．The researchers plan to do the experiment again to see how people will respond D．In the second test, iCub didn’t communicate with human because it became foolish. 六、完形填空 Are you at the top, in the middle, or at the bottom in your class? Teachers and schools are not 44 to rank（把……分等级）students in this way, but it’s hard not to. And every student knows where he or she stands in relation to other students. Like it or not, there is 45 in the classroom. Teachers and schools are always focused（聚焦） on getting the best out of each student. They provide lessons, homework and extra help 46 all students can pass exams and get the education they need. But not all can be top students. Some students are just smarter than others, and some students just work harder than others. So, does ranking 47 matter? A school in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) thinks it does. They used to give bright red uniforms to the top 100 students in their school. And another school in Xi’an made students with poor grades wear green scarves. Those schools were trying to motivate（激励） students to 48 better by using rewards and punishment. But this kind of motivation can be harmful. In fact, students can also find motivation within themselves. When you’re trying to “be the best that you 49 be,” ranking is unimportant. 44．A．imagined B．allowed C．refused D．planned 45．A．pain B．fun C．competition D．friendship 46．A．so that B．what’s more C．because D．whether 47．A．just B．only C．exactly D．really 48．A．perform B．think C．serve D．play 49．A．must B．should C．can D．need 七、短文填空 Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给） Today, people are using and abusing (虐待) their eyes more than people were twenty years ago.

Whenever you are outdoors, make sure you are protecting your eyes from bright sunlight and strong winds. ￭ Have enough sleep. This generally differs from person to person. Some people need 8 hours' sleep while others feel completely rested w 54 hours. If you do so, dark circles around your eyes may r 55 and your eyes will feel fresh after you have a good sleep. Of course, you can also try out some medical s 56 that are created for protecting the damaged eyes and prevention from future damage. These ways are helpful and you will feel relaxed and look attractive with bright, shiny and fresh eyes. 八、任务型阅读 Answer the questions I grew up in a small town in Washington, US, and I want to be like my brother, Tim. He and his friends were in a gang. They often beat up people, and they didn’t go to school much. I thought they were cool. On my thirteenth birthday, I told my brother I wanted to be in the gang with him. He said ‘no’, but I didn’t listen. I went to ask his friends. Tim’s friends took me into the back yard. They told me that if I joined the gang, I was in for life. Then, someone hit me in the face. I fell down. But I didn’t cry. Each time I got up, they hit me again. Finally, they said I could be one of them. Tim was angry when he heard about it. But I stayed with the gang. After a few months, I began to beat up other people with the gang. Sometimes I wouldn’t go home at night, and my mother would be worried. This went on for two years. I knew it was bad, but there nothing I could do. I was in for life. One day, someone hit me in the head. I spent a day in the hospital. For the first time, I wanted out of the gang. One night after my fifteenth birthday, I went home. My mother was in the hospital. She had a nervous breakdown (精神崩溃) because she was so worried about me. That made me very sad. The next day, I told the gang that I wanted out. They began to beat me up, and my brother stopped them. I got up off the floor, smiled and said goodbye. But they didn’t just stop there. Every time they saw me, they beat me up. This went on for about two months. But in the end, it stopped. I’m glad I’m out of the gang now. I don’t have to be afraid all the time. I can talk to anyone I want. And most of all, I made my mum happy again. 57．The people in the gang didn’t have to go to school, did they? 58．When did the write tell his brother that he wanted to be in the gang? 59．How did the writer’s brother feel when he knew the writer was in the gang? 60．What made the writer very sad? 61．Why did the people in the gang go on beating the writer up? 62．What do you think of the people in the gang?

(know) 【答案】knowledge 【详解】句意：作为学生，你应当学到越来越多的知识。作get的宾语用名词knowledge“知识”，不可数名词。故填knowledge。 26．The football match (not cancel) unless it rains heavily next Saturday. 【答案】won’t be canceled/won’t be cancelled 【详解】句意：足球比赛不会被取消，除非下周六下大雨。句子是unless引导的条件状语从句，从句是一般现在时，主句应用一般将来时，match与cancel是动宾关系，应用被动语态，句子为否定句，结构为won’t be done。故填won’t be canceled/won’t be cancelled。 27．If the famous writer (come) to our school tomorrow, we will having a meeting instead of having classes . 【答案】comes 【详解】句意：如果这位著名作家明天来我们学校，我们将开会而不是上课。此句是if引导的条件状语从句，主句是一般将来时，从句应用一般现在时，从句的主语“the famous writer”是第三人称单数，谓语应用三单形式，come的三单是comes。故填comes。 28．It is the most (wonder) sight I have ever seen. 【答案】wonderful 【详解】句意：这是我见过的最美妙的景色。wonder“奇迹”，是名词，此处需要用其形容词形式wonderful“美妙的”修饰后面的名词，故填wonderful。 29．She asked if the computers (go) wrong. 【答案】went 【详解】句意：她问电脑是不是出故障了。根据“asked”可知，时态是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填went。 30．To learn English well, we should try some ways to new words.

He (mark) them in the office yesterday afternoon. 【答案】was marking 【详解】句意：——老师批改完试卷了吗？——我不知道，昨天下午他正在办公室批改试卷。根据yesterday afternoon可知，需用过去进行时。故填was marking。 四、完成句子 32．It’s about 15 minutes’ walk from the museum to the nearest underground station.（就画线部分提问） is it from the museum to the nearest underground station? 【答案】 How far 【详解】句意：从博物馆到最近的地铁站步行大约15分钟。划线部分是距离，应用how far“多远”提问。故填How；far。 33．Is there enough time to explore the whole town?

Paris, according to, a popular destination, tourists （连词成句） . 【答案】According to the introduction, Paris is a popular destination for tourists 【详解】根据所给标点符号可知，本句是陈述句。according to是固定短语，位于句首；the introduction介词短语的宾语；Paris作主语；is作谓语；a popular destination for tourists是整体作表语。故填According to the introduction, Paris is a popular destination for tourists“根据介绍，巴黎是一个受游客欢迎的目的地”。 五、阅读理解 Robot fools humans The idea that robots could one day be our friends has been around for a long time but until now they have always seemed more machine than person. A new study by a researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology has found that in fact it’s possible for robots to fool us here and there, they are just less perfect than human. Inspired by the Turing Test, Agnieszka Wykowska came up with an experiment using a child-sized human-like robot called iCub. Sitting in front of a screen, the people in the test were asked to press a button when a green box appeared on the screen, however, iCub only responded to red boxes Wykowska programmed the robot to take different lengths of time to respond, just like a person would. Afterwards, the humans were asked to judge whether they had been competing with a machine or a person according to the time of the buttions being pressed—and they couldn’t tell. Wykowska believes that making robots have more human responses is the key to making better robots and creating more trust between humans and robots. In another study with iCub, the robot and a human watched special videos of animals. In the first set of tests, iCub greeted the person, asked for his name and kept eye contact with its camera “eyes”. It made comments about the videos, laughed and showed emotions (情感). In the second experiment, however, iCub did not communicate with human and just made machine-like noises. The researchers found that people believe that the more human iCub is, the more it has its own thoughts and desires. The team now wants to know if people can communicate with robots that do not look human but that still show human-like actions. The researchers plan to repeat the experiments, using robots of different shapes and sizes, to see how people give their responses. 38．A new study at the Italian Institute of Technology has found that robots________.

A．Robots are no longer machines and they have been our friends for a long time. B．Wykowska did some experiments but failed to find if iCub had any human responses. C．The researchers plan to do the experiment again to see how people will respond D．In the second test, iCub didn’t communicate with human because it became foolish. 【答案】38．B 39．C 40．B 41．A 42．D 43．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了研究结果表明，机器人有可能会愚弄人类，机器人拥有的人类特征越多，人们就更会觉得机器人有自己的想法和渴望，与人类相似的特征越多，是做出更好的机器人的关键。 38．细节理解题。根据第一段的“A new study by a researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology has found that in fact it’s possible for robots to fool us here and there, they are just less perfect than human.”可知意大利理工学院一位研究人员的一项新研究发现，事实上，机器人有可能在这里那里愚弄我们，它们只是不如人类完美。故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Inspired by the Turing Test, Agnieszka Wykowska came up with an experiment using a child-sized human-like robot called iCub. ”可知受到图灵测试的启发，Agnieszka Wykowska提出了一个实验，使用一个名为iCub的儿童大小的类人机器人。故选C。 40．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Afterwards, the humans were asked to judge whether they had been competing with a machine or a person according to the time of the buttions being pressed—and they couldn’t tell. ”可知之后，人类被要求根据按按钮的时间来判断他们是在与机器还是人竞争——他们无法分辨。故选B。 41．细节理解题。根据第二段的“In another study with iCub, the robot and a human watched special videos of animals.”可知在iCub的另一项研究中，机器人和人类观看了动物的特殊视频。因此不是人类的。故选A。 42．细节理解题。根据第二段的“The researchers found that people believe that the more human iCub is, the more it has its own thoughts and desires. ”可知研究人员发现，人们认为iCub越人性化，它就越有自己的想法和欲望。故选D。 43．细节理解题。根据文章结尾的“The researchers plan to repeat the experiments, using robots of different shapes and sizes, to see how people give their responses.”可知研究人员计划使用不同形状和大小的机器人重复这些实验，看看人们如何做出反应。故选C。 六、完形填空 Are you at the top, in the middle, or at the bottom in your class?

I’m writing to tell you something about my sleeping habits. As middle school students, we’d better sleep for about eight to nine hours each night. But I don’t get enough sleep because I usually go to bed after 11 o’clock. I finish my homework at ten o’clock and then spend about 40 minutes previewing what I will learn. Later, I’d like to surf the Internet for half an hour. As a result, I often go to bed very late. In fact, lack of sleep has caused me great harm. For one thing, I often feel sleepy and can’t concentrate at school, which results in poor marks. For another, it has brought some health problems. I get ill more easily than before. I think it’s quite necessary to change my habits and go to bed earlier so that my learning efficiency and health can be improved. How about you? Do you have healthy sleeping habits?
