This little plastic tool makes using computers so much easier. It has a history that goes back more than 50 years. In 1963, American computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart invented a prototype (原型) mouse. On April 27, 1981, the first computer system with a mouse and user interface (界面) appeared. This design plays an important part in the personal computing world even today. The invention of the mouse was the beginning of a new age. Before the mouse, computer users had to use complex (复杂的) tools and difficult code (编码) to connect with their computers. Some say developments like the touchscreen iPad will mean the end of the mouse, but others believe the mouse will be around for a while longer. “It’s easy to learn, and you don’t need to take your eyes off the screen to use it. These are the reasons for its long life.” says Ken Perlin, a professor at New York University. Scientists are now working on adding new things to the mouse. Recently, they made a “soft mouse”, which is made from a soft plastic material. Using it is like touching a cat, so some computer users have started calling it a “cat” There is an Internet saying: One day the “cat” may eat the “mouse”. 15. It was ______ for computer users to connect with their computers before the invention of the mouse. A. impossible B. interesting C. easy D. difficult 16. What can we know from the text? A. Scientists have invented a “soft mouse” made from cloth. B. The touch screen iPad will surely end the use of the mouse. C. We can use the computer without looking at the mouse. D. The mouse was invented by a Japanese many years ago. 17. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An American computer pioneer. B. A useful tool—the mouse. C The history of the computer. D. A new tool—the “cat” 18. The text above is probably taken from a ______. A. science book B. storybook C. geography book D. picture book 【答案】15. D 16. C 17. B 18. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍计算机鼠标的发展历程。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Before the mouse, computer users had to use complex (复杂的) tools and difficult code (编码) to connect with their computers.”可知，在鼠标出现之前，电脑用户必须使用复杂的工具和复杂的代码来连接他们的电脑，可推测出在鼠标发明之前，电脑用户很难与他们的电脑连接。故选D。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s easy to learn, and you don’t need to take your eyes off the screen to use it. These are the reasons for its long life.”可知，不用看鼠标就可以使用电脑。故选C。 【17题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“When you use a computer, do you think about the mouse? This little plastic tool makes using computers so much easier.”可知，本文主要讲述的是一个有用的工具——鼠标。故选B。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要讲述的是一个有用的工具——鼠标，最有可能来自一本科学书。故选A。 C “Please stay,” I begged (乞求). “Your mom said you could stay an hour.” Ann was my best friend. She was the only other girl in the neighborhood. She came to play half an hour ago, and I didn’t want her to go. “I’m bored,” she said. She started to get up, and then noticed a bright hair clip (发夹) on my bedside table. “I’ll stay if you give me that,” Ann said. I frowned (皱眉). ______ She was a beautiful and kind woman. She was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died, I cried in bed for hours. Now, as I hold the hair clip in my hands, I was filled with sweet memories of Aunt Reba. I don’t know what came over me, but more than anything. I wanted someone to play with me. So I handed Ann the hair clip! Then we rode our bikes in the park. Soon it was time for her to go. Upset at what I had done, I went to bed without dinner that evening. When my mom came in to turn off the light, she asked me what was wrong. I told her everything. She hugged me, but only said, “I guess you’ll have to decide what to do.” Alone in the dark, I began to think more clearly. Soon I knew what I would do. At school the next day, I found Ann and apologized to her. I told her how important the hair clip was to me. She finally gave me back the hair clip. But it wasn’t a happy experience. After that, we stopped playing together. Through the years, I have had other best friends. But I have never again begged for their company. I know best friends are people who want to spend time with you, and that they ask for nothing in return. 19. Which of the following can be put in “______”? A. I couldn’t help thinking of my aunt Reba. B. The hair clip was a present from Aunt Reba. C. I must tell her everything about the hair clip. D. Both Aunt Reba and I loved the hair clip a lot. 20. What’s the right order of the following? ①The writer went cycling in the park with Ann. ②The writer thought hard to get her thing back. ③The writer begged Ann to stay around for a while ④The writer stopped Ann at school for her hair clip. A. ①④③② B. ①②④③ C. ③②①④ D. ③①②④ 21. What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese? A. 同情 B. 理解 C. 陪伴 D. 支持 22. What lesson did the writer learn from the incident? A. The best things in life are free. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. It is better to be alone than in bad company. 【答案】19. B 20. D 21. C 22. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述作者与好友Ann之间因一个发夹而产生的小故事，展现了儿童时期的纯真友谊、成长中的选择与反思，以及对真正友谊的理解。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段下文“She was a beautiful and kind woman.”及“Now, as I hold the hair clip in my hands, I was filled with sweet memories of Aunt Reba.”可知，作者拿着发夹时充满了对Reba阿姨的甜蜜回忆；据此可以推断，发夹是Reba阿姨送的礼物；选项B“发夹是Reba阿姨送的礼物。”符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“‘Please stay,’ I begged. ‘Your mom said you could stay an hour.’”可知，作者先恳求Ann留下来，③“作家请求Ann多待一会儿。”排第一；第六段“Then we rode our bikes in the park.”可知，然后和Ann一起骑自行车去公园，①“作者和Ann一起去公园骑自行车。”排第二；根据第七段“Alone in the dark, I began to think more clearly. Soon I knew what I would do.”可知，晚上躺在床上时开始思考并决定要回发夹，②“作者绞尽脑汁想把她的东西拿回来。”排第三；根据第八段“At school the next day, I found Ann and apologized to her. I told her how important the hair clip was to me. She finally gave me back the hair clip.”可知，第二天在学校作者找到了Ann并要回了发夹，④“作者在学校拦住Ann，要回了发夹。”排第四。因此，正确的顺序应该是③①②④。故选D。 【21题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“‘Please stay,’ I begged. ‘Your mom said you could stay an hour.’”以及最后一段“Through the years, I have had other best friends. But I have never again begged for their company.”可知，经历过Ann这件事情之后，作者再也没有乞求过好朋友的陪伴；因此划线单词company意为“陪伴”。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I know best friends are people who want to spend time with you, and that they ask for nothing in return.”可知，作者从这次经历明白了：最好的朋友是那些愿意花时间和你在一起的人，他们不要求任何回报；据此可以推断，作者认为，宁可独处，也不要与那些要求回报的人交朋友。故选D。 D We all get bored from time to time. For most of us, doing nothing is not fun. But for some experts, it sounds like a gift. Why? Because they believe a little boredom (无聊) can be good for our health. In the past, boredom was a fact of life. It was a world without smart phones, computers or TVs. On a long car trip, kids just looked out of the window and lost in daydreams. Sometimes after school, they might wonder what to do with themselves. Maybe they read all the books at home and played all the games a hundred times. It’s not that kids in the past enjoyed boredom. Just like now, it was thought as a bad thing. The difference is that today, boredom is a lot easier to avoid (避免). We have so many things to do when we’re bored. We can text or chat with our friends watch movies and TV shows online, or listen to music. Being bored is bad. It can easily make people get into bad habits, like eating too much junk food. Brothers and sisters are more likely to fight when bored. And a house full of bored kids can be tough on parents. So if boredom is so bad, why do some experts say we need more of it? Well, it has something to do with our brain (大脑). Our brain needs a rest as much as our body does. When we’re bored, we’re letting our brain get some rest at the same time. It’s like when a sportsman takes time off from running, then we’ll become healthier. As you can see, being bored is not a bad thing. 23. What do experts believe? A. Being bored is a fact of life. B. We need to be bored sometimes. C. People in the past never got bored. D. We should stay away from boredom. 24. What do we know about people today? A. They enjoy being bored. B. They seldom get bored. C. They take trips when bored. D. They get bored more easily. 25. What might happen if people are bored? A. They might eat a lot of junk food. B. They might lose interest in everything. C. They might enjoy the time with parents. D. They might do something bad to the brain. 26. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To tell us to enjoy boredom. B. To tell us to take care of our brain. C. To tell us why we get bored at times. D. To tell us how to deal with boredom. 【答案】23. B 24. B 25. A 26. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了无聊对我们的好处。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But for some experts, it sounds like a gift. Why? Because they believe a little boredom (无聊) can be good for our health”可知，专家认为适当的无聊对我们的健康有益。故选B。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The difference is that today, boredom is a lot easier to avoid (避免). We have so many things to do when we’re bored.”可知，现在我们有很多事可做去避免无聊。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It can easily make people get into bad habits, like eating too much junk food.”可知，无聊会让人们很容易就陷入坏习惯，像吃太多的垃圾食品。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Our brain needs a rest as much as our body does. When we’re bored, we’re letting our brain get some rest at the same time. It’s like when a sportsman takes time off from running, then we’ll become healthier. As you can see, being bored is not a bad thing.”以及全文可知，无聊也不是一件坏事，我们需要享受无聊。故选A。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个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。 Before the invention of written numbers, people used many different ways to count things. ____27____.

The ink also did not dry easily, and it sometimes made a mess on the paper. Biró wanted a better pen. His brother, George, helped him develop a special ink. The ink dried easily. Then they developed a new type of pen. There was a tiny ball at the tip of the pen. The ball rolled ink onto paper as it moved. They called it the “ballpoint” pen. The ballpoint pen was a great success. Everyone loved it. Now millions of people use it all over the world every day. People will always remember Biró for his invention. Today in many English-speaking countries, people still use the word “biro”, to refer to any kind of ballpoint pen. 31. Where was Biró born? __________________________________ 32.

Also, there is bad information on the Internet. Personally, I think computers can be helpful tools for learning, but we need to use them carefully.

B When you use a computer, do you think about the mouse? This little plastic tool makes using computers so much easier. It has a history that goes back more than 50 years. In 1963, American computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart invented a prototype (原型) mouse. On April 27, 1981, the first computer system with a mouse and user interface (界面) appeared. This design plays an important part in the personal computing world even today. The invention of the mouse was the beginning of a new age. Before the mouse, computer users had to use complex (复杂的) tools and difficult code (编码) to connect with their computers. Some say developments like the touchscreen iPad will mean the end of the mouse, but others believe the mouse will be around for a while longer. “It’s easy to learn, and you don’t need to take your eyes off the screen to use it. These are the reasons for its long life.” says Ken Perlin, a professor at New York University. Scientists are now working on adding new things to the mouse. Recently, they made a “soft mouse”, which is made from a soft plastic material. Using it is like touching a cat, so some computer users have started calling it a “cat” There is an Internet saying: One day the “cat” may eat the “mouse” 15. It was ______ for computer users to connect with their computers before the invention of the mouse. A. impossible B. interesting C. easy D. difficult 16. What can we know from the text? A. Scientists have invented a “soft mouse” made from cloth. B. The touch screen iPad will surely end the use of the mouse. C We can use the computer without looking at the mouse. D. The mouse was invented by a Japanese many years ago. 17. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An American computer pioneer. B. A useful tool—the mouse. C. The history of the computer. D. A new tool—the “cat” 18. The text above is probably taken from a ______. A. science book B. storybook C. geography book D. picture book C “Please stay,” I begged (乞求). “Your mom said you could stay an hour.” Ann was my best friend. She was the only other girl in the neighborhood. She came to play half an hour ago, and I didn’t want her to go. “I’m bored,” she said. She started to get up, and then noticed a bright hair clip (发夹) on my bedside table. “I’ll stay if you give me that,” Ann said. I frowned (皱眉). ______ She was a beautiful and kind woman. She was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died, I cried in bed for hours. Now, as I hold the hair clip in my hands, I was filled with sweet memories of Aunt Reba. I don’t know what came over me, but more than anything. I wanted someone to play with me. So I handed Ann the hair clip! Then we rode our bikes in the park. Soon it was time for her to go. Upset at what I had done, I went to bed without dinner that evening. When my mom came in to turn off the light, she asked me what was wrong. I told her everything. She hugged me, but only said, “I guess you’ll have to decide what to do.” Alone in the dark, I began to think more clearly. Soon I knew what I would do. At school the next day, I found Ann and apologized to her. I told her how important the hair clip was to me. She finally gave me back the hair clip. But it wasn’t a happy experience. After that, we stopped playing together. Through the years, I have had other best friends. But I have never again begged for their company. I know best friends are people who want to spend time with you, and that they ask for nothing in return. 19. Which of the following can be put in “______”? A. I couldn’t help thinking of my aunt Reba. B. The hair clip was a present from Aunt Reba. C. I must tell her everything about the hair clip. D. Both Aunt Reba and I loved the hair clip a lot. 20. What’s the right order of the following? ①The writer went cycling in the park with Ann. ②The writer thought hard to get her thing back. ③The writer begged Ann to stay around for a while. ④The writer stopped Ann at school for her hair clip. A. ①④③② B. ①②④③ C. ③②①④ D. ③①②④ 21. What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese? A. 同情 B. 理解 C. 陪伴 D. 支持 22. What lesson did the writer learn from the incident? A. The best things in life are free. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. It is better to be alone than in bad company. D We all get bored from time to time. For most of us, doing nothing is not fun. But for some experts, it sounds like a gift. Why? Because they believe a little boredom (无聊) can be good for our health. In the past, boredom was a fact of life. It was a world without smart phones, computers or TVs. On a long car trip, kids just looked out of the window and lost in daydreams. Sometimes after school, they might wonder what to do with themselves. Maybe they read all the books at home and played all the games a hundred times. It’s not that kids in the past enjoyed boredom. Just like now, it was thought as a bad thing. The difference is that today, boredom is a lot easier to avoid (避免). We have so many things to do when we’re bored. We can text or chat with our friends watch movies and TV shows online, or listen to music. Being bored is bad. It can easily make people get into bad habits, like eating too much junk food. Brothers and sisters are more likely to fight when bored. And a house full of bored kids can be tough on parents. So if boredom is so bad, why do some experts say we need more of it? Well, it has something to do with our brain (大脑). Our brain needs a rest as much as our body does. When we’re bored, we’re letting our brain get some rest at the same time. It’s like when a sportsman takes time off from running, then we’ll become healthier. As you can see, being bored is not a bad thing. 23. What do experts believe? A. Being bored is a fact of life. B. We need to be bored sometimes. C. People in the past never got bored. D. We should stay away from boredom. 24. What do we know about people today? A. They enjoy being bored. B. They seldom get bored. C. They take trips when bored. D. They get bored more easily. 25. What might happen if people are bored? A. They might eat a lot of junk food. B. They might lose interest in everything. C. They might enjoy the time with parents. D. They might do something bad to the brain. 26. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To tell us to enjoy boredom. B. To tell us to take care of our brain. C. To tell us why we get bored at times. D. To tell us how to deal with boredom. 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个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。 Before the invention of written numbers, people used many different ways to count things. ____27____.
