C Feng Boyao and Meng Shuqi found that their city library didn’t have enough Braille (盲文) books for blind people and many of the Braille books were out of date. So they teamed up to help the blind by solving the problem. Feng and Meng both studied at No. 37 Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi province. They invented a new kind of Braille reader. Their work won the first prize in a national competition which tries to nurture creative (创新) thinking by asking students to solve social problems. The invention was also given a national patent. When connected (连接) to a computer, their Braille reader can turn words into raised dots (凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots, which are magnets (磁铁). This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets. “We found that today’s Braille readers are very difficult to use and expensive,” Feng said. “So, we decided to invent a user-friendly one, especially for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. Moreover, it only costs about 2000 yuan.” After making their first reader model, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it to meet the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the space between the dots. “We hope the invention will be popularized in the future to help those blind people who can’t buy the Braille reader. now,” Meng told Taiyuan News after the visit. 36. Why did the two students invent a new kind of Braille reader? A. To get a national patent. B. To hold a reading competition. C. To help the blind get more Braille books. D. To encourage kids to solve social problems. 37. What does the underlined word “nurture” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. 培养 B. 创造 C. 想象 D. 理解 38. Which is the correct order of the following events? ①Feng and Meng were interviewed by Taiyuan News. ②Many of the Braille books in the city library were out of date. ③Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to learn about the students’ needs. ④They teamed up to help the blind by fixing the problem. A. ②①③④ B. ②④③① C. ②④①③ D. ②③①④ 39. What can we infer from the passage? A. Feng and Meng are helpful and creative people. B. Feng and Meng solved many social problems together. C. Feng and Meng have started their own business as a team. D. The reader they invented are easy to use but more expensive. 40. What is the best title for the text? A. A Braille Reader. B. A User-friendly Product. C. The Need of Blind People. D. Two Teenagers and Their Invention. D ①If you asked scientists whether monkeys and chimpanzees (黑猩猩) had a sense (感觉) of right and wrong before they had a deep study on them, they would tell you that it seemed not possible. ②It was believed that only humans could imagine (想象) the future. Some people said that most monkeys were cleverer than most dogs. What’s more, if all dogs seemed unhappy when they did something bad, some people believed that dogs learned such an action to make their owners happy. It doesn’t mean that dogs understand why their owners might be angry. It doesn’t mean that animals can think about the future. ③Now, however, it appears that chimpanzees and monkeys may be able to think about the future. Santino is a chimpanzee and he lives at a zoo in Sweden. He is famous for his bad mood. Santino doesn’t like being looked at by visitors and he often throws stones at them. Before visitors walked into the zoo, he must have decided that he needed to be prepared for visiting days. He began collecting stones so that he would be fully ready to throw them when people came to see him. The interesting thing was that Santino would only collect stones when he thought visitors might come. In winter when the zoo was closed, he didn’t collect them again. ④Santino’s action is a clear example of an animal planning for the future. It’s also an example to show “scientific” beliefs come from facts rather than opinions (观点). It seems likely that within ten years, we shall have a completely different view of animal intelligence (智慧). 41. What did scientists think of animals before? A. They could think about the future. B. They couldn’t understand their owners. C. They couldn’t know the right and wrong. D. They could share people’s happiness and sadness. 42. Why does Santino collect many stones? A. Because he wants to build a wall. B. Because he likes to play with stones. C. Because the keeper asks him to do so. D. Because he wants to throw them at visitors. 43. Which paragraph gives an example to show animals can also plan for the future? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 44. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Monkeys are much cleverer than dogs. B. Dogs can understand their owners’ feelings. C. Only human-like animals can think about the future. D. We should use facts to show truth instead of opinions. 45. Which of the following is the structure (结构) of the text? A. B. C. D. 第二节（每小题1分，满分5分） E Have you ever noticed how you feel when you play with a dog or a cat? ___46___ Of course, playing with pets is fun but as it turns out (结果发现), spending time with animals can also be helpful in keeping us mentally healthy (心理健康). “A pet can remind you that you’re not alone.” said life coach Desiree Wiercyski. ___47___ This can be helpful when you feel lonely. I can speak from experience (有亲身体会) about this. I myself feel a bit sad or lonely from time to time, since I live by myself. But I recently had the chance to take care of my friend’s cats while she was away. ___48___ When I come home, they’re always happy to see me. ___49___ It’s almost like they can tell when I need someone to hang out with. So the next time you’re feeling a bit blue (忧伤的), maybe you should find a dog or cat to talk to. ___50___ A. She added that pets give unconditional (无条件的) love. B. Caring for her cats has made a big difference in my life. C. Even something as easy as petting a cat can make you feel happier and healthier. D. Or maybe even some other animals, like a goldfish or a rabbit. E. When I’m tired or sad, they come to me and “ask” me to pet them.
