B     The first robot was invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.     In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans. Robots also help disabled people, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.     One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner's walk. The owner wears a special belt. The belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as "Stop here" "Turn left" or "Turn right".     In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner's voice. It follows instructions such as. "Turn the page" or "Make a cup of coffee".     Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients' rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.     Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans. （ ）1.From the passage, we know robots cannot be ______.

A. robots are stronger and cleverer than humans B. disabled people cannot look after themselves without robots C. robots will take the place of humans some day in the future. D. robots can help humans in many different ways. C Let children learn to judge (判断) their own work. A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught-to walk, run, climb or ride a bicycle. They compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for him. We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it. If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure (估量) their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in their ways. Schoolteachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Don't worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it. （ ）1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by A. being always corrected B. following adults' advice C. doing as other people do D. being always taught. （ ）2. The writer thinks teachers in school should . A. teach students how to get the answers directly B. encourage students to learn from each other C. tell students what is wrong as often as possible D. encourage students to learn from adults. （ ）3. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means . A. teachers can’t correct students’ papers B. teachers needn't waste time teaching students in class C. Teachers should leave students in the classroom. D. teachers should help students improve their learning ability （ ）4. We can infer (推断) that from the passage. A. students can learn a lot in the real life. B. students can face any challenge easily. C. students can grow up without others’ help D. students no longer need teachers in the future. （ ）5. The best title of the passage maybe “ ”. A. Let Us Teachers Stop Working B. Let Children Learn by themselves C. Let Parents Understand Their Kids D. Let Us Help Children Learn. 二、阅读表达。 The Chinese are working hard to achieve their China Dream. And now the model worker spirit and craftsman(工匠) spirit are very popular. Here is a story of a great craftsman. Born in 1949, Pan Qihui was once a PE teacher. He was interested in writing with brushes and painting as a child. His hobbies had nothing to do with his job, but he never gave them up. He also had interest in collecting stamps and ancient coins. However, since he saw the micro-carving(微雕) artworks at an exhibition in the 1980s, he decided to study micro-carving. In 1986, Pan wrote 100 letters to his 100 pen friends who also enjoyed collecting stamps and ancient coins to tell them he had decided to spend ten years studying micro-carving and promised to send each of them a micro-carving work. Then, he practiced every night after work. Through hard work, he only spent five years achieving his dream. Pan practices much and trains hard. He has set a goal for himself that he will create one amazing work every year. To make sure his hands remain stable(沉稳的), Pan has given up smoking and been living a healthy life. Pan says he loves micro-carving and will never give it up. 1.
