A robotic dog being tested for rubbish transport (运输) shows the attention of visitors at Taishan Mountain in Taian, Shandong Province. Like "porters" (搬运工), the robotic dogs carried things and rubbish during tests at Taishan Mountain in late October. "It's exciting to see how modern technology is breathing new life into Mount Tai," one tourist said. Taishan, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site (联合国教科文组织世界文化和自然遗产), welcomed a record-breaking 8.62 million visitors last year. They created about 24,000 tons of waste, according to Taishan Cultural Tourism Group. But the mountain is rocky (多岩石的) and the paths are narrow, so large machines can't work there. Cleaners have to carry the rubbish down the mountain on their backs. This is where the robotic dogs come in! These dogs are introduced for waste collection tests at Taishan Mountain scenic area. Robot dogs could make waste transport faster and more efficient (有效率的) than human cleaners. Each dog is able to carry 30 to 40 kilograms. It can stay balanced and move around things in its way. During the tests, the robot could reach the top of the mountain in two hours, while the average time for adults without carrying anything is about four hours. The robot can work for four to six hours on a full charge (充电). Still, the company that built the robot said there are things to improve, such as raising the height of its storage box (储物盒) and better sealing (密封) waste packages. 5. What's in these two pictures? A. Smart cameras. B. Robot dogs. C. Foreign porters. D. Technology spiders. 6. Why does the robotic dog at Taishan Mountain draw visitors' attention? A. Because it can talk with people. B. Because it is transporting rubbish. C. Because it likes climbing mountains. D. Because it did well in the nature's tests. 7. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us about ______. A. the popularity of Taishan Mountain B. the environmental problems of Taishan C. the background of Taishan's use of robotic dogs D. the great technological invention at Taishan Mountain 8. Compared with humans, what are the advantages of robot dogs mentioned in the text? a. carrying more things b. being much wiser c. walking faster d. using less energy e. working more efficiently A. ce B. acb C. ed D. bcd C Almost every kid around the world loves snacks (零食)，but they seldom (很少) care how healthy they are. Although some snacks like chocolate and candies are found everywhere, others are special to a country or a culture. Let’s have a look. In Japan, matcha(抹茶) is a kind of green tea powder (粉). It is made from tea leaves and can be used with ice cream or cake. In fact, matcha came from China first but took off in Japan. Biscuits or cookies covered with chocolate are also a Japanese favourite. Potato chips and French fries are very popular in the US. They are cheap but tasty. But they are high in calories and eating too much may make you fat. Popcorn is another typical (典型的) snack. People eat it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement park. Most cinemas sell it. In the UK, many people sit down for snacks at around 4 p.m. every day. They call it “afternoon tea”. Traditional afternoon tea is biscuits and tea. People also have scones (烤饼，司康饼) with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack. Potato chips and French fries are popular in the UK, too. Do you want to eat snacks in a healthy way? Here are some helpful tips. Have a look! A handful of walnuts (核桃) are great for your brain. But a whole bag will add nothing but fat. If you’re crazy for chocolate, try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar. Don’t eat too many snacks after dinner. 9. The underlined phrase “took off” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______. A. flew away B. got up quickly C. left in a hurry D. became popular quickly 10. Which foods are popular both in the US and in the UK? A. Popcorn and chocolate. B. Biscuits and cookies. C. Potato chips and French fries. D. Scones and candies. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Don’t eat too many snacks after dinner. B. The most unhealthy snacks around the world. C. Some special snacks to a country or a culture. D. All the kids around the world love eating snacks. 12. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the text? (1 = Paragraph 1, 2 = Paragraph 2, …) D Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write about them in his diary. Now a teenager might surf the Internet and write about his problems in his blog. In some ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. What makes a blog different from a diary? The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary. I have a younger sister, and sometimes I read her blog. She writes about things like getting up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her maths exam. When I was her age, I wrote the same things but only in my diary. After I finished writing, I would put my diary in a secret (秘密的) place because I was worried that someone else might read it. A blog is public so it has some bad points. The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write. If I am angry with a friend during school and write something bad about him in my diary, he will never know. However, if my sister writes something bad about a friend, that friend may read her blog and cry. So we must be very careful to write. Blogs have good points, of course. If I feel lonely and write “Nobody cares about me” in my diary, no one will know about it. However, if my sister writes the same words in her blog, her friends will quickly reply and tell her how much they like her. A blog helps people keep in touch with their friends. If people are careful, writing blogs is really a good way to communicate with others. However, I still enjoy my diary! 13. In the past, teenagers often wrote about their problems ______. A. to their teacher B. in their blogs C. to their friends D. in their diaries 14. Why did the writer put her diary in a secret place? A. Because she was worried that someone else might read it. B. Because she didn’t want to communicate with others. C. Because she wanted others to read her diaries. D. Because she liked her diary very much. 15. What’s the bad point of blogs? A. People will be angry after reading your blog. B. People can keep in touch with their friends. C. Anyone can read what you write. D. Nobody cares about others. 16. What can be the best title for this text? A. The Reason Why the Writer Likes Diaries B. The Good Points and Bad Points of Blogs C. How to Make Friends by Writing Blogs D. How to Keep Secrets in Diaries 第二节 阅读短文，从选项内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 For most people, summer holidays mean sun, sea and sand, 17 ______. She had a holiday full of ice and snow.

We each had six points so far. But Cole was more popular, and the team fed him the ball. I must outscore Cole because I wanted to be the MVP—most valuable player. Later, Jeff stole the ball from the Kings and passed it to me. I saw Cole running toward the basket, but no one was guarding me either. I threw the ball into the basket. Cole slapped (拍) my hand. “Good shot (投篮), Derek,” I just smiled. Then Cole got the ball. He passed it to me and ran under the basket. I ignored (忽视) him and shot. But I failed. “Cole was open,” said Jeff. “So was I,” I muttered (嘟囔). But I felt troubled inside. “Hey, it’s no big deal,” said Cole. “We’re all trying to win this game. We’re a team.” It happened fast, Cole got hurt. Now I thought I’d surely be MVP. Everything didn’t look good. Every time I took the ball, two Kings players were guarding me instead of one. Cole had helped divide their attention before. I’d never thought about how much that helped me. Down by one with little time left, I passed the ball to Brandon. He caught it and let it fly—right into the basket. We won! We were all jumping around when I saw Cole on the bench. “Hey,” I said. “Great game.” “You, too,” said Cole, slapping my back. “Congratulations on getting MVP.” I’d been waiting a long time to hear those words, but they didn’t seem so important now. “Thanks,” I said. “It was a team effort.” And I finally understood just what that meant. 41. What does MVP stand for? _______________________________________________________________________________ 42. Why did the writer ignore Cole and shoot himself after getting the ball from Cole? _______________________________________________________________________________ 43.
