Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. 6 , the king still found there were too many. During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and 7 it to the king.

However, about 35 percent of natural wetlands have been lost in the past 50 years, said the UN. Hoping to do their part in wetland protection, Lyu Haoyan and Cui Luoyao, two 14-year-old girls from Beijing created a mudskipper amphibious robot(弹涂鱼两栖机器人）. They won the Gold Award of the 19th Soong Chingling Award for Children's Invention on Aug 17." We wanted to make a simple robot to help collect data,but traditional robots faced problems in wetlands," Cui told Teens. As an amphibious fish, mudskippers are small and can move freely in wetlands. Inspired by the little creature, they added a special chest and tail fin (鳍） to their robot. The fin can help the robot move freely on land and swim underwater. They also learned coding (编程) to control the robot with their phones from far away, up to 300 meters. What's more, they put in different sensors （传感器）to see plants and check water quality. But things didn't always go well. How to keep the main electronics（电子元件）dry when the robot went underwater was a big problem during testing. "The 3D printed parts we used couldn't seal（密封）well," Lyu told Teens. After trying different methods, they found that placing robber(橡胶）rings in the gaps(缝隙） worked well to stop water from getting in. After successfully controlling their robotic mudskipper on land and underwater, they were happy with their success. "I feel so proud because our robot can help look into the places that people cannot reach," said Cui. Choose the answer: 11. Why did Cui Luoyao and Lyu Haoyan create the robot? A. To complete their schoolwork. B. To protect wetlands. C. To learn more about amphibious fish. D. To deal with water pollution. 12. What does "the little creature" in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Mudskippers. B. The creators. C. The robot fish. D. Wetlands. 13. What did the girls add to their robot to help it move freely in wetlands? A. Special sensors. B. Special legs. C. A special wheel. D. A special chest and tail fin. 14. What did Cui and Lyu use to control their robot? A. A computer. B. Their phones. C. A rubber seal D. Some sensors. 15. How did the girls keep the electronics dry when it was underwater? A. By using more 3D printed parts. B. By sealing the robot with tape. C. By putting rubber rings in the gaps. D. By adding a special cover to it. 【参考答案】11-15 BADBC Word Collection： 1.ecosystem n.生态系统 2.creature n.生物；动物 3.quality n.质量，品质；优质 4.seal v.密封；加封；n.密封；印章 5.method n.方法，办法 C 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 Can you cook by yourself? Do you like the homework of making a meal? These days, primary and middle school students are required to take the Practical Activity Class (实践活动课) at least one class hour every week. The topic of cooking is discussed mostly by parents and students. Learning practical skills plays an important role in shaping a person’s character for sure. Here are some students’ views and gains. Some schools and students have already practiced their practical activities. Gu Quan, 13 years old, from No.18 Middle School, used to be a lazy boy. In his own words, he hardly ever did any housework. But things have changed since No.18 Middle School made housework part of its students’ homework. Doing the dishes, cooking, making the bed...all of these tasks have become part of Gu Quan’s daily life. At the beginning of each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Their parents help them keep a record of their performance. The tasks are common and simple in daily life, such as sweeping the floor, washing cups and cooking food. On holidays like Mother’s Day, students should prepare presents for their mothers. Huang Yixi, 14, has learned several life skills, including cooking. “I used to be afraid of fire.” she said. But she managed to overcome her fear and complete her cooking task. At the same time, she also learned how tired her mother gets after doing housework every day. On Mother’s Day, she made a cake for her mother to show her thanks. “I’ve begun to better understand my parents and want to help them more,” she said. 16．The passage mainly talks about .

D Which animals are smart? Your answer may be dogs, apes (类人猿),or elephants.Now, there is one more animal that can be added to the list: sheep. Scientists from Cambridge University said that sheep could be trained to identify familiar human faces, the BBC reported.Before testing, scientists showed the sheep pictures of four famous people, including former US president Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens. Each screen showed a human face. One screen showed a famous person and the other screen showed a random (随机的）person. The sheep often walked toward the screen with the celebrity's face. After discovering the animals' ability to recognize famous people,researchers gave them a new task. They wanted to see whether the farm animals could correctly recognize the same people from different angles（角度). The animals were still able to identify them, though they were a bit slower to recognize the pictures than before. Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could recognize their trainers from a photo. Images of their trainers were randomly shown on screens along with a number of unfamiliar faces. Without any training, the sheep could identify their trainers. The results show that the animals' face-recognition abilities are similar to those of monkeys,apes and humans, according to the BBC. Face recognition is a difficult process. But sheep have big brains.When they see other sheep, they use this process to recognize one another, said Jenny Morton, the lead researcher. The researchers said it might be interesting in the future to find out whether sheep can identify different facial expressions made by humans. Fill in the blanks: Experiment report Researchers 21.

Her reply was anything but friendly. "What?" "Er ... You all right?" I tried again. She looked at me blankly. Then suddenly the cloud seemed to lift from her mind. "Oh," she said. "You mean, How am I doing?' I thought you meant I had something on my face." As a British person in China, I knew there would be cultural and language barriers between Chinese people and myself. However, I wasn't expecting there to be cultural and language barriers between myself and other English-speaking foreigners. Before the London (2012) Olympics, the Daily Mail had shared a guide to British English for US people. For example,＂Those are 'chips' that go with your burger, instead of fries. You'd like some potato chips? Those are 'crisps.＂ Any conversation I have with a US person shows why a guide like this is necessary. British people usually know the American words from TV or films (sorry - movies), but Americans never seem to have enough knowledge about British English. The trouble is, it's not just people from the US. When I speak English to non-English speakers, I never know whether they have learned British or American. When they say "chips", for example, do they mean "French fries" or "potato chips'? I can't help thinking back to the Daily Mail article: "When you talk about 'pants' in Britain, that means underwear.＂＂Trousers＂is the better word to use. In this case, though, American English seems to have taken over.Everyone I know just says"pants". Choose the answer: 29. What was the US friend's first reaction like when the writer greeted her? A. Warm and friendly. B. Unfriendly and confused. C. Angry and sad. D. Excited and polite. 30. The underlined part "the cloud seemed to lift from her mind" means . A. she became confident in herself B. she was not sure what to do next C. she realized her mistakes at once D. she came to understand the situation 31. According to the Daily Mail guide, what do US people call "chips"? A. Fries. B. Crisps. C. Potato chips. D. Burger chips. 32. What opinion might the writer hold? A. There is no language barrier among native English speakers. B. British people care little about American English. C. Non-English speakers have no language barriers in English. D. American English is slowly getting accepted in Britain. 【参考答案】 29-32 BDAD Word Collection： 1.come across 偶然遇到 2.blankly adv. 茫然地；毫无表情地 3.lift v.提起；举起；/n.电梯；搭便车 4.cultural adj.文化的；文艺的 5.barrier n.障碍；妨碍 6.can’t help doing... 禁不住... 7.in this case 在这种情况下；既然是这样的话；假如这样的话 in that case 以防万一；考虑到那个情况，因此 in any case 无论如何；不管怎样 in no case 决不；无论如何都不 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
