B Ross Griffiths woke up one morning only to find himself unable to speak.This five-year-old boy was only two weeks ago diagnosed (诊断) with a condition so unusual that it hasn't been named and is instead known as 15q11.2. Ross Griffiths has struggled to get back his communication skills, but has always been too shy to use his sign language away from home and school.But after seeing a video of Middlesbrough's Cleveland Centre Father Christmas signing with three-year-old Mali Williams, Ross told his mum that he wanted to sign with Father Christmas, too. Ross and his family went to see Father Christmas yesterday, along with Mali, who was invited back for a second visit.Father Christmas set up the special second meeting with Mali where he gave her a lovely doll. As crowds of children and parents awaited the arrival of the big man at the shopping centre, Father Christmas took some time out before his duties to meet again with Mali and with Ross before going on to see all the other children. Ross's mum Becky Lane hoped that a visit to the special Father Christmas would help Ross get over his shyness.The Father Christmas everyone believes in even learned Makaton specially for his meeting with Ross, as this is the communication method the young boy uses. “He was too frightened to use his sign language outside the house, but when he saw the video of the girl signing with Father Christmas, it showed him he didn't have to be shy.He did really well.And he got a PacMan game as a gift.Now he's not a shy boy any more”， Becky said. 24．According to the text, Ross Griffiths ． A．caught a deadly disease B．was afraid of communicating with strangers C．found it hard to learn sign language D．dreamed of becoming a Father Christmas 25．Seeing the video, Ross might feel very ． A．proud B．angry C．calm D．excited 第 3 页 共 5 页 26．What does the underlined word “Makaton” most probably refer to?

In most cases, robots are sent to places considered to be unsafe.The problem is that all of those types of situations are extremely unpredictable and unfriendly.And it is very likely that robots in those situations become damaged.When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually finds the best way to get around on three legs.In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in the same way. Jeff Clune, a computer scientist, is developing the latest and advanced technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury.He wants the machines to have the ability to analyze the cause and change to continue performing until they can be repaired. The researchers have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under complicated conditions.They programmed a hexapod robot with six legs and a robotic arm.Their findings were reported in the journal Nature.Once the hexapod robots become damaged, they can use their own knowledge of how their body works to find a solution. The hexapod robots are also programmed with childlike curiosity.In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for the answers.The whole process just takes about a minute for the robots to overcome the damage and continue to carry out the task. 28．What do we know about robots? A．They usually work in dangerous places. B．They may do great harm to people. C．Dogs are used to help them work well. D．People can't live normally without them. 29．According to Jeff Clune, the new technology ． A．helps robots deal with the damage B．protects robots from serious harm C．makes robots have self-repair ability D．allows robots to realize possible danger 30．What can we infer about the hexapod robots? A．The idea of them is from Nature. B．They can sense people's feelings. C．They look like children in appearance. D．They can make changes in a very short time. 31．What's the best title for the text? A．How to Use Robots Properly B．Robots are Helpful to Humans C．Damaged Robots Learn to Keep Working D．The Development of the Hexapod Robot 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words.We talk with our mouths, but we communicate with our facial expressions, our tone of voice and our whole body. 32 When we can read what others are saying unconsciously, we can deal with things at work and at home before they become problems. By understanding how to use body language, you can communicate more effectively.Here is how： ▲ 33 Throughout the day, notice details about the way you speak, gesture and move.When standing, keep your shoulders straight, your body open and your weight balanced on both feet. ▲Work on your handshake. 34 The handshake most likely to show confidence is firm and dry, with strength but not too much pressure. ▲Use eye contact. Eye contact is very important in forming an impression of someone.You should have the ability to keep direct eye contact if you want to be taken seriously.But some people feel uncomfortable when it is too strong. 35 ▲Be yourself.

Mother said all the dust was due to the drought, not only here in our village but all over the Great Plains. The dirt covered everything. When my sister, Amy, and I walked to school, we wore kerchiefs (方头巾) over our mouths so that we didn't breathe in the dirt. When the air quality was so bad that the school was closed, we stayed at home and helped Mother put wet sheets over the windows, but the dirt always found a way in. Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright sunshine and a clear blue sky.After breakfast, Father headed out to the farm to check on the cattle while Mother started doing some washing. Amy and I played in the yard.Surprisingly, the temperature suddenly dropped. Then Mother shouted from the house, “Christine, you and Amy get inside, quick, now！” I looked towards the west and saw a huge black cloud.All the birds flew away.“Amy, go with Mother！” I shouted，“I'll warn Father.” Amy ran towards the house.The storm hit so fast, and I barely saw her climb the steps. In an instant the day turned into night.I stumbled (绊倒) over our bicycles left carelessly in the yard.I screamed, hoping my voice would lead father back. The dirt and sand stung (刺痛) my skin like a thousand bees.I needed to get to a shelter.Covering my face with one hand, I moved towards our car which was parked in the yard and opened the door.Dirt flew in with me as I closed the door. Father was still out there! I needed to help him find the car. I searched the dashboard (仪表板) and found the switch for the front lights.Would father see them in the darkness? Was he safe? I pushed the horn (喇叭) again and again, hoping father would hear it.I pushed until I had no more strength in my arms. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Suddenly, father's face appeared at the window. ____________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the wind stopped and the dust began to settle._______________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________
