2025年东莞市第四高级中学高三第三次模拟考试 英语 本试卷满分120分。考试用时120分。 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A If you’re looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over by all the application options, here is some guidance to get you started. UK International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas. This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs £20 for a single choice or £25 for more than one choice. The application consists of a series of questions to determine the student’s schooling and applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences. Switzerland Switzerland has four official languages and its universities are among the most international in the world. International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language. usually through taking a language exam. The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas. Canada International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will also have to prove their English-language competency—there are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites. Singapore The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the native applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an application fee of S$20. 1. Which country requires international applicants know French well? A. UK. B. Switzerland. C. Canada. D. Singapore. 2. What part of the application is similar between the UK and Canada? A. The application system. B. The number of universities. C. The application cost. D. The personal statement. 3. What’s special about the application process in Singapore? A. Applicants need to pay a lot. B. It is much simpler than elsewhere. C. It’s no different for native students. D. The competition is even more fierce. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是申请到英国、瑞士、加拿大以及新加坡留学的过程及相关的信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Switzerland部分中的“International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language.(国际申请者如果有外国学校的证书，可能需要参加入学考试，还必须证明他们有很好的法语掌握能力。)”可知，申请瑞士留学的国际申请者需要证明能很好地掌握法语。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Canada 部分中的“International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application.(国际申请者必须写一份个人资料作为他们申请的一部分，这与英国大学申请所要求的个人陈述非常相似。)”可知，申请加拿大留学的申请者需要写的个人陈述与申请英国大学的个人陈述相似，所以加拿大和英国申请中的个人陈述是相似的。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题，根据Singapore部分中的“The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the native applicants have to cover the same procedures(申请新加坡大学的程序非常相似，但海外学生可能会很高兴地发现，本国申请人也需要完成同样的程序)”可知，国内的申请者与海外的申请者的申请程序相同，由此可知，新加坡的申请流程的特别之处就是对本地学生来说没什么区别。故选C项。 B My name is Matthew. I'm not someone who has many secrets，because I'm a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years- -I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious , but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam , but getting behind the wheel was a different story. But when October 30th rolled around ,my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school , showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day,I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test , pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds , and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday. One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced——but sill, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes ,I had also failed. Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience , without which one couldn't make a true man. 4. What can we learn about Matthew? A. He was a slow learner of driving. B. He relied heavily on his parents. C. He was afraid of taking exams. D. He was bored with telling lies. 5. Why did the instructor ask Matthew to pull over? A. To put an end to his lest. B. To check his parking skills. C. To give him a second chance D. To show him a better way of driving. 6. W hat made Matthew feel extremely worried after his first attempt? A. Failing to get a driving license. B. Missing his birthday celebration. C. Making his parents disappointed. D. Losing face before his classmates. 7. W hat did Matthew learn from his own experience? A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Failure is a way to grow up. C. Truth stands the test of time. D. Imperfection is another form of perfection. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者曾经隐瞒了自己驾照考试失败的事情，后来意识到失败和不完美是每个人成长的必经之路。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But there is one huge secret that I kept for years- -I failed my driving test.”可知，我驾照考试失败了；再有第一段中“I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam , but getting behind the wheel was a different story.”我的笔试成绩很好，但是开车开得不好，由此推测，他是一个学车很慢的人，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop.”由此可知，作者在驾照考试过程中由于自己的失误导致了考试失败，所以让他靠边停车，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed.”我不会因为没通过考试难过，但是我害怕别人知道我失败了，故我是怕在同学面前丢人，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience , without which one couldn't make a true man.”可知，我意识到，失败和不完美是每个人都必须经历的事情，没有经历它们，就不会真正的成长。故选B。 C What does it mean to cry over a book? “I’m a reader who did not weep.” Ruth Graham, a well-known critic, wrote. “Does this make me heartless? Or does it make me a grown-up?” Tears have played a surprisingly important part in the history of the novel. Readers have always asked about the role that emotion plays in reading: What does it mean to be deeply moved by a book? Which books are worthy objects of our feelings? In different times, people answered those questions in different ways. In the 18th century, when the novel was still a new form, crying was a sign of readers’ virtue. “Sentimental” novels, full of touching scenes, gave readers an occasion to exercise their “finer feelings”. Your tear proved your susceptibility (易感性) to the suffering of others. At that time, sentimental novels were hugely popular, but also easy to attack. Tears, after all, had no necessary connection to actual virtue, and they could be fake. There could also be too many of them. As the critic John Mullan points out, by the end of the eighteenth century, the word “sentimental” had acquired a new meaning “addicted to indulgence (沉溺) in superficial (肤浅的) emotion”—bringing it closer to the meaning that it has for us today. In the 19th century the meaning of tears evolved in two different directions. Some writers sought to waken “higher” feelings in their readers: Victorian sentimentalists wrote touching scenes in an effort to inspire social and political reform. However, the “sensation” novel, a different type of Victorian best-seller, showed that tears could be enjoyable in themselves. Sensation novels were the forerunners (先导) of the modern thriller and mystery. Heavy on secrets, and madness, they were known for creating physical “sensations” in their readers— trembling, a fast beating heart, and tears. But these were tears without moral purpose or effect. Today’s debate about crying while reading looks back on all of this history. The debate, in fact, is about why books matter to us, and what reading is “for”. Talking about what makes us cry is a way of talking about ourselves. 8. What was people’s attitude towards crying over novels in the early 18th century? A. Doubtful. B. Positive C. Unclearing D. Worried. 9. According to the text, “sensation” novels ________. A. were similar to the modern thriller and mystery B. were the same as sentimental novels C. aimed for social and political reform D. tended to amuse the readers 10. How does the author present this text? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Crying While Reading Through Centuries B. The History of The Novel C. Sentimental Novels & Sensation Novels D. Why Books Matter to Us 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了历史上不同时代对于伤感小说理解的不同观点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the 18th century, when the novel was still a new form, crying was a sign of readers’ virtue.(在小说还是一种新形式的18世纪，哭泣是读者美德的象征)”和文章第四段“At that time, sentimental novels were hugely popular(当时，伤感小说非常受欢迎)”可推知，18世纪初，人们对看小说时哭是持积极的态度，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Sensation novels were the forerunners (先导) of the modern thriller and mystery. Heavy on secrets, and madness, they were known for creating physical “sensations” in their readers— trembling, a fast beating heart, and tears. But these were tears without moral purpose or effect.(刺激小说是现代惊悚小说和推理小说的先驱。他们以秘密和疯狂而闻名，因为他们能让读者产生身体上的“感觉”——颤抖、心跳加速和流泪。但这些眼泪是没有道德目的或效果的)”可知，刺激小说与现代惊悚悬疑片相似，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“In the 18th century(在18世纪)”、倒数第二段的“In the 19th century(在19世纪)”以及最后一段的“Today’s(今天的)”可知，文章是按照时间发展顺序呈现的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“What does it mean to cry over a book?(对着一本书哭泣是什么意思？)”、第二段“Tears have played a surprisingly important part in the history of the novel. Readers have always asked about the role that emotion plays in reading: What does it mean to be deeply moved by a book? Which books are worthy objects of our feelings?(眼泪在小说的历史上扮演了一个令人惊讶的重要角色。读者总是会问情感在阅读中扮演的角色：被一本书深深打动是什么意思？哪些书值得我们去感受？)”和第三段“In different times, people answered those questions in different ways.(在不同的时代，人们用不同的方式回答这些问题。)”可知，本文讲述了历史上不同时代对于伤感小说理解的不同观点，因此最好的标题是A选项“Crying While Reading Through Centuries”。故选A。 D In designing the robots of tomorrow, engineers have gained many of their inspirations from the kingdom of creatures, with machines that mimic the way plants and animals move and sense their environment. In recent study, researchers at Cornell University have found that mycelia, the underground parts of mushrooms, have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs. By using the natural electrical signals of mycelia, the researchers found a new way to control biohybrid (生物混合) robots, which can react to their surroundings better than traditional man-made robots. With great efforts, two biohybrid robots were built: a soft robot shaped like a spider and a wheeled robot. The robots responded to mycelia’s signals by walking and rolling. They also changed their position in response to light, demonstrating the mycelia’s ability to react to outer influences. However, finding a way to integrate mushrooms and robots requires more than just gardening and technical skills. “You have to have a background in mechanical engineering, electronics, some neurobiology (神经生物学), and even some kind of signal processing. All these fields come together to build this kind of system,” said Shepherd, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. “Living systems respond to touch, light, heat and even some unknowns, like signals. This is why we believe that if we want to build future robots, they must be able to work in unexpected environments,” said Mishra, a research associate in the Organic Robotics Lab of Cornell University. “By growing mycelia into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment. In this case we used light as the input, but in the future it will be chemical. The potential for future robots could be to sense soil chemistry in row crops and decide when to add more fertilizer (肥料),” said Shepherd. 12. What does the underlined word “mimic” mean in paragraph 1? A. Control. B. Judge. C. Change. D. Copy. 13. Why are mycelia used in robot design? A. For their mushroom shape. B. For their perception and response abilities. C. For their chemical potential. D. For their chemical and biological influences. 14. What does Shepherd emphasize about the process in paragraph 3? A. Technical skills. B. Scientific methods. C. Subject integration. D. Innovative application. 15. Which of the following can be the potential application for future biohybrid robots? A. Monitoring soil condition. B. Designing electronic systems. C. Replacing human experience. D. Strengthening unknown signals. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了蘑菇菌丝在生物混合机器人设计中的应用及未来潜力。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In designing the robots of tomorrow, engineers have gained many of their inspirations from the kingdom of creatures, with machines that mimic the way plants and animals move and sense their environment. (在设计未来的机器人时，工程师们从生物界获得了许多灵感，制造出能够mimic植物和动物移动及感知环境方式的机器。)”可知，此处机器是模仿植物和动物的行为，mimic意思是“模仿”，与copy意思相近。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In recent study, researchers at Cornell University have found that mycelia, the underground parts of mushrooms, have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs. By using the natural electrical signals of mycelia, the researchers found a new way to control biohybrid (生物混合) robots, which can react to their surroundings better than traditional man-made robots. (在最近的一项研究中，康奈尔大学的研究人员发现，蘑菇的地下部分——菌丝体，能够感知化学和生物信号，并对多种输入做出反应。研究人员利用菌丝体的天然电信号，发现了一种控制生物混合机器人的新方法，这种方法比传统的人造机器人能更好地对周围环境做出反应。)”可知，菌丝体被用于机器人设计是因为它们有感知和反应能力。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““You have to have a background in mechanical engineering, electronics, some neurobiology (神经生物学), and even some kind of signal processing. All these fields come together to build this kind of system,” said Shepherd, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. (机械与航空航天工程教授谢泼德表示：“你必须具备机械工程、电子学、一些神经生物学，甚至某种信号处理方面的知识背景。所有这些领域结合起来才能构建这样的系统。”)”可知，Shepherd强调了这一过程需要多学科融合。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““By growing mycelia into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment. In this case we used light as the input, but in the future it will be chemical. The potential for future robots could be to sense soil chemistry in row crops and decide when to add more fertilizer (肥料),” said Shepherd. (“通过将菌丝体培育到机器人的电子元件中，我们能够让这种生物混合机器感知环境并对其做出反应。在这种情况下，我们使用光作为输入信号，但未来将会使用化学信号。未来机器人的潜力可能在于感知大田作物的土壤化学成分，并判断何时该添加更多的肥料。” 谢泼德说道。)”可知，未来生物混合机器人的潜在应用是监测土壤状况。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Teach A Child to Ride A Bike?

The organization is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day, we were asked to raise money for cancer research and program funding at an event. Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organization, I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster, some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset. Half an hour later, Lisa started complaining, “I don’t think we can raise much money today.” “Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left,” I said, though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day. While Lisa and I were talking, a little boy of about seven years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading. After a while, he asked, “What is cancer?” I explained what cancer is. Then I said, “Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it.” “Do children suffer from cancer, too?” asked the boy. “Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help,” Lisa said, and I nodded. Hearing that, the boy became sad. Then the boy asked, “How much money have you collected?” Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last, we said, “Not much.” The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one-dollar and five-dollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However, about twenty minutes later, the boy did return. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The boy happily ran to us, holding something tightly in his hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The boy happily ran to us, holding something tightly in his hand. Out of breath, he asked, “Would you take a donation from children?” In his hands, he clutched a few crumpled dollar bills. Lisa and I were greatly astonished that a little boy actually cared, so we asked why he wanted to donate the little money he had. The boy replied in an innocent tone, saying that he thought it was the right thing to do and that he wanted to give the money to those who needed it more. Since he couldn’t do this himself, he was grateful that we could reach out to people in need and deliver the money on his behalf. Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. Many people were so obsessed with themselves that they became insensitive to the suffering of others. However, the little boy, young as he was, acted out of a genuine instinct of goodwill and was able to reach out without hesitation. What the boy did again evoked in me a belief in the noble quality of human empathy. Thanks to him, I reaffirmed the value of the voluntary work I was doing — to serve as a bridge, through which goodwill would be communicated and good deeds be performed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次筹款活动为线索展开，讲述了年初的时候作者和志愿者朋友Lisa为癌症儿童筹款，但响应寥寥。一个7岁男孩询问癌症是什么，得知许多孩子因此受苦后默默离开。20分钟后，他气喘吁吁跑回来，把皱巴巴的零钱捐给更需要的孩子。两人被他的纯真善意震撼，这微小的善举让作者明白，志愿者的意义正是传递这样的温暖与希望。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“男孩高兴地向我们跑过来，手里紧紧地拿着什么东西”可知，第一段可描写男孩把自己的钱捐出，作者和Lisa很惊讶，询问原因，男孩解释自己想帮助那些更需要的人。 ②由第二段首句内容“Lisa和我都被深深地打动了”可知，第二段可描写作者内心赞美男孩的善意，并因此感受到志愿服务的意义所在。 2. 续写线索：男孩拿着东西回来——男孩捐款——作者和Lisa询问原因——作者和Lisa被打动——作者赞美男孩——作者感受志愿服务的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：clutch/grasp/seize/grab ②拥有：have/possess ③回复：reply/respond/answer ④引起：evoke/arouse/awaken 情绪类 ①震惊的：astonished/amazed/surprised ②感激的：grateful/thankful ③漠不关心的：insensitive/indifferent 【点睛】[高分句型1] The boy replied in an innocent tone, saying that he thought it was the right thing to do and that he wanted to give the money to those who needed it more.

UK International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas. This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs £20 for a single choice or £25 for more than one choice. The application consists of a series of questions to determine the student’s schooling and applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences. Switzerland Switzerland has four official languages and its universities are among the most international in the world. International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language. usually through taking a language exam. The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas. Canada International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will also have to prove their English-language competency—there are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites. Singapore The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the native applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an application fee of S$20. 1. Which country requires international applicants know French well? A. UK. B. Switzerland. C. Canada. D. Singapore. 2. What part of the application is similar between the UK and Canada? A. The application system. B. The number of universities. C. The application cost. D. The personal statement. 3. What’s special about the application process in Singapore? A. Applicants need to pay a lot. B. It is much simpler than elsewhere. C. It’s no different for native students. D. The competition is even more fierce. B My name is Matthew. I'm not someone who has many secrets，because I'm a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years- -I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious , but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam , but getting behind the wheel was a different story. But when October 30th rolled around ,my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school , showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day,I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test , pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds , and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday. One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced——but sill, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes ,I had also failed. Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience , without which one couldn't make a true man. 4. What can we learn about Matthew? A. He was a slow learner of driving. B. He relied heavily on his parents. C. He was afraid of taking exams. D. He was bored with telling lies. 5. Why did the instructor ask Matthew to pull over? A. To put an end to his lest. B. To check his parking skills. C. To give him a second chance, D. To show him a better way of driving. 6 W hat made Matthew feel extremely worried after his first attempt? A. Failing to get a driving license. B. Missing his birthday celebration. C. Making his parents disappointed. D. Losing face before his classmates. 7. W hat did Matthew learn from his own experience? A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Failure is a way to grow up. C. Truth stands the test of time. D. Imperfection is another form of perfection. C What does it mean to cry over a book? “I’m a reader who did not weep.” Ruth Graham, a well-known critic, wrote. “Does this make me heartless? Or does it make me a grown-up?” Tears have played a surprisingly important part in the history of the novel. Readers have always asked about the role that emotion plays in reading: What does it mean to be deeply moved by a book? Which books are worthy objects of our feelings? In different times, people answered those questions in different ways. In the 18th century, when the novel was still a new form, crying was a sign of readers’ virtue. “Sentimental” novels, full of touching scenes, gave readers an occasion to exercise their “finer feelings”. Your tear proved your susceptibility (易感性) to the suffering of others. At that time, sentimental novels were hugely popular, but also easy to attack. Tears, after all, had no necessary connection to actual virtue, and they could be fake. There could also be too many of them. As the critic John Mullan points out, by the end of the eighteenth century, the word “sentimental” had acquired a new meaning “addicted to indulgence (沉溺) in superficial (肤浅的) emotion”—bringing it closer to the meaning that it has for us today. In the 19th century the meaning of tears evolved in two different directions. Some writers sought to waken “higher” feelings in their readers: Victorian sentimentalists wrote touching scenes in an effort to inspire social and political reform. However, the “sensation” novel, a different type of Victorian best-seller, showed that tears could be enjoyable in themselves. Sensation novels were the forerunners (先导) of the modern thriller and mystery. Heavy on secrets, and madness, they were known for creating physical “sensations” in their readers— trembling, a fast beating heart, and tears. But these were tears without moral purpose or effect. Today’s debate about crying while reading looks back on all of this history. The debate, in fact, is about why books matter to us, and what reading is “for”. Talking about what makes us cry is a way of talking about ourselves. 8. What was people’s attitude towards crying over novels in the early 18th century? A. Doubtful. B. Positive C. Unclearing D. Worried. 9. According to the text, “sensation” novels ________. A. were similar to the modern thriller and mystery B. were the same as sentimental novels C. aimed for social and political reform D. tended to amuse the readers 10. How does the author present this text? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Crying While Reading Through Centuries B. The History of The Novel C. Sentimental Novels & Sensation Novels D. Why Books Matter to Us D In designing the robots of tomorrow, engineers have gained many of their inspirations from the kingdom of creatures, with machines that mimic the way plants and animals move and sense their environment. In recent study, researchers at Cornell University have found that mycelia, the underground parts of mushrooms, have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs. By using the natural electrical signals of mycelia, the researchers found a new way to control biohybrid (生物混合) robots, which can react to their surroundings better than traditional man-made robots. With great efforts, two biohybrid robots were built: a soft robot shaped like a spider and a wheeled robot. The robots responded to mycelia’s signals by walking and rolling. They also changed their position in response to light, demonstrating the mycelia’s ability to react to outer influences. However, finding a way to integrate mushrooms and robots requires more than just gardening and technical skills. “You have to have a background in mechanical engineering, electronics, some neurobiology (神经生物学), and even some kind of signal processing. All these fields come together to build this kind of system,” said Shepherd, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. “Living systems respond to touch light, heat and even some unknowns, like signals. This is why we believe that if we want to build future robots, they must be able to work in unexpected environments,” said Mishra, a research associate in the Organic Robotics Lab of Cornell University. “By growing mycelia into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment. In this case we used light as the input, but in the future it will be chemical. The potential for future robots could be to sense soil chemistry in row crops and decide when to add more fertilizer (肥料),” said Shepherd. 12. What does the underlined word “mimic” mean in paragraph 1? A. Control. B. Judge. C. Change. D. Copy. 13. Why are mycelia used in robot design? A. For their mushroom shape. B. For their perception and response abilities. C. For their chemical potential. D. For their chemical and biological influences. 14. What does Shepherd emphasize about the process in paragraph 3? A. Technical skills. B. Scientific methods. C. Subject integration. D. Innovative application. 15. Which of the following can be the potential application for future biohybrid robots? A. Monitoring soil condition. B. Designing electronic systems. C. Replacing human experience. D. Strengthening unknown signals. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Teach A Child to Ride A Bike?
