It’s very useful for people’s life and work. Let’s have a look. Start of Spring, the first solar term of the year, falls on February 4th this year. After Start of Spring, the daytime is becoming longer and the weather is becoming warmer. And people eat spring pancakes and spring rolls on the day. Summer Solstice, the 10th solar term, falls on June 21st this year. Summer Solstice is not the hottest time in a year. The hottest days often come 20 to 30 days later. People have a tradition of eating noodles on the day. Autumn Equinox, the 16th solar term, falls on September 22nd this year. On this day, day and night are of equal length (等长). After this day, days get shorter and nights get longer in the northern hemisphere (北半球). In South China, people eat Qiucai, a kind of amaranth. Major Snow, or “Daxue” in Chinese, the 21st solar term, falls on December 6th this year. It marks the arrival of midwinter.

He doesn’t say anything at all, but he gives you a smile. In a moment and almost unwillingly, you’re doing the same thing. You just can’t help it and you catch his smile. For some unknown reason, when we see someone smile, we just can’t stop ourselves doing the same thing. In honor of World Smile Day (the first Friday in October), it’s the time we got real answers to this matter. Is smiling contagious (感染性的) ? Well, a study in the Trends in Cognitive Sciences journal gives the answer “yes”. As part of the research, social psychologists (心理学家) looked into why we often copy (模仿) people’s facial expressions when we talk to them. Interestingly, one of the conclusions (结论) was that we “try on” the emotions (感情) of others when we are talking with them. So, for example, when a friend tells us some good news happily, we may unconsciously (无意识地) show the same emotion through our smile. In doing so, we are feeling and understanding their joy. So the reason we smile back when someone smiles at us is that we want to feel the same way as that person. However, not everyone can do this. During the research, the psychologists find people with some diseases can’t copy others’ facial expressions. They know someone is smiling but they cannot smile back. 34．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A．The reason for smiling back. B．An opinion on smiling back. C．The result of smiling back. D．An example of smiling back. 35．Why do we smile back when we see someone else smile? A．Because we want to talk with the person. B．Because we are feeling the person’s joy. C．Because we want the person to understand us. D．Because we want to show we are clever. 36．What problems do people with some diseases have? A．They can’t feel happy when others smile at them. B．They smile too much and can’t stop it. C．They can’t copy others’ smiles. D．They never smile and they are unhappy. 37．Which could be the best title for this passage? A．Why is smiling contagious? B．What’s World Smile Day? C．Why should we smile? D．Do you know how to smile? 【答案】34．D 35．B 36．C 37．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“微笑的感染力”。当别人对你微笑时，我们会同样报以微笑，并且面部表情在社交礼仪中也非常重要。 34．主旨大意题。根据第一段“You’re walking down the street, thinking about your own business when a stranger passes by. He doesn’t say anything at all, but he gives you a smile.”可知，第一段在通过例子说明我们会有报以微笑的这种行为。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段“So the reason we smile back when someone smiles at us is that we want to feel the same way as that person.”可知，是因为我们想和那个人有同样的感觉。故选B。 36．细节理解题。根据最后一段“During the research, the psychologists find people with some diseases can’t copy others’ facial expressions. They know someone is smiling but they cannot smile back.”可知，一些患有疾病的人无法回以微笑。故选C。 37． 最佳标题题。短文介绍了当别人对你微笑时，我们会同样报以微笑，原因是我们想感受微笑的人的情绪。这是在讨论微笑的感染性问题，故文章的最佳标题应是“为什么微笑会传染”。故选A。 C Sammy checked his calendar. “Yes!” he cried, jumping out of bed. “I mean NO! It’s Opposite Day (反话日)!” He put his shirt on inside out and walked backward down the hall. “Good night, Mom,” he said in the kitchen. “Have a bad day at work!” “What’s wrong?” asked mom. “It’s Opposite Day!” Sammy explained. Sammy and his friends came across at the bus stop and waved. “Good-bye!” they said at the same time. At school, the kids were going into the door marked Exit. “What’s wrong?” asked the head teacher. “It’s Opposite Day!” said the students. During math, the kids added when the sign said to subtracts (减法). “What’s wrong?” cried their teacher, Ms. Trix. “It’s Opposite Day!” said the class. “That’s right,” said Ms. Trix. “In that case, there’s no homework tonight.” “Yay!” said the kids. But then they remembered what day it was. Ms. Trix wrote their homework on the board. That afternoon, Ms. Trix asked the kids to present their book reports. “Oh no!” thought Sammy. He’d been so excited about Opposite Day that he had left his report at home. “Make something up or tell the truth?”, Sammy thought to himself. “Ms. Trix,” he said when she called on him, “Sorry, I won’t be able to turn in my report today.” Ms. Trix looks at Sammy for a while and laughed. “I get it! Opposite Day. I guess that means you will turn it in tomorrow! Well, I expect it to be terrible. And by that, I mean great!” Sammy breathed a sigh of relief (松了口气). Thanks to Opposite Day! 38．On Opposite Day, if Sammy wants to go to bed, he will say “________”. A．Good morning! B．Good afternoon! C．Good evening!

It’s Opposite Day (反话日)!”可知，Sammy先发现当天是反话日。根据第四段“At school, the kids were going into the door marked Exit.”可知，Sammy走进了标有出口的门。根据第五段“During math, the kids added when the sign said to subtracts (减法).”可知，Sammy做错了数学题。根据最后一段“He’d been so excited about Opposite Day that he had left his report at home.”可知，Sammy没法上交作业。故选C。 40． 细节理解题。根据第一段“he cried, jumping out of bed.”可知，Sammy刚开始很激动。根据最后一段“ ‘Oh no!’ thought Sammy. He’d been so excited about Opposite Day that he had left his report at home.”可知，Sammy发现自己没带作业感到担忧。根据最后一段“Sammy breathed a sigh of relief (松一口气).”可知，Sammy松了口气，如释重负。故选B。 41．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ms. Trix looks at Sammy for a while and laughed. ‘I get it!

They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver (派送) food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you scratch (挠) their heads. Are robot waiters the future? It is a question that the restaurant industry is trying to answer.                                                     Many people think that robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages (短缺). Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide. “There is no doubt (怀疑) in my mind that this is where the world is going,” said Dennis Reynolds, head of the Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. The school’s restaurant began using a robot last year. Reynolds said that it has reduced the workload for humans and made service better. However, others think that robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. They cannot walk up the steps to different areas of a restaurant. “Restaurants are pretty chaotic (混乱的) places, so it is very hard to add automation (自动化) in a way that is really helpful,” said Craig Le Clair from an advising company. Still, the use of robots is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its service robot in 2021. The company expects to sell more robots by the end of this year in America and overseas. In China, Shenzhen-based Pudu Robotics, which was founded in 2016, has deployed more than 56,000 robots worldwide. 42．What tasks can robot waiters do in restaurants according to the passage? A．Take orders. B．Deliver food and drinks. C．Cook food. D．Mix drinks. 43．Why do many people think that robot waiters are helpful to worker shortages? A．Because they can deal with money problems. B．Because they can provide special customer service. C．Because they can finish tasks well and reduce workload. D．Because they can certainly take the place of human workers. 44．What does Dennis Reynolds think of robot waiters? A．They will be popular in the future. B．They provide worse service than humans. C．They are not practical (实用的) in restaurant environments. D．They are too expensive for most restaurants to afford. 45．What is the main idea of the passage?

We all miss her very much. 【答案】illness 【详解】句意：玛丽去年因为生病离开了学校。我们都很想念她。根据句意和汉语提示可知，illness“疾病”，不可数名词，此处强调不健康的状态或生病的状态。故填illness。 51．She often takes a walk in the park and enjoys the beauty there. (nature) 【答案】natural 【详解】句意：她经常在公园里散步，欣赏那里的自然美景。分析句子结构可知，空处应用形容词形式修饰beauty，natural“自然的”，形容词。故填natural。 52．The price of houses (rise) a lot in Yangzhou in 2018, but it dropped a little after that. 【答案】rose 【详解】句意：2018年扬州的房价上涨了很多，但之后略有下降。根据“in 2018”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式rose。故填rose。 53．It will be a hot day again today, with temperatures in the (thirty). 【答案】thirties 【详解】句意：今天又会是炎热的一天，气温三十多度。根据“with temperatures in the”可知此处应是用“in the+逢十的基数词的复数形式”表示概数。thirty的复数形式为thirties。in the thirties表示“三十多度”。故填thirties。 54．When the season changes, many people catch a cold (easy). 【答案】easily 【详解】句意：季节变换时，许多人容易感冒。空格处修饰动词短语catch a cold，应用副词，作状语。easy形容词，“容易的”，副词形式为easily。故填easily。 55．Jerry tried to keep warm by (cover) his body with scarves in the wind. 【答案】covering 【详解】句意：Jerry在风中用围巾把身体包住来保持温暖。根据句意及“by”可知，by表方式，其后跟动词ing，故填cover的现在分词covering。故填covering。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（不超过8个词） I (Robinson) showed him a pallet and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep. When waking up in the morning, he greeted me, down on his knees, with hands on his head. At first, we communicated primarily by body languages. Soon my new servant showed him much better at learning my language than I was learning at his. I studied him, and soon he could say his name, “Master”, “Yes” and “No”, and the names for various items. How good it was to hear a man’s voice again! It took Friday time to grow used to the idea of hunting with a gun. I had to shoot several animals and birds before he stopped running away. For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools. Friday was quick to help with the farming and feeding. He worked hard and was obedient (服从). One day, I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited with the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe, though it was quite old. “Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?” I asked him. “Oh, yes,” he answered. “It can carry a lot of food and drink.” But a moment later, Friday looked very upset. “Are you angry with me?” he asked. “What have I done? Why do you want to send me away?” “But I thought you wanted to go home,” I said. “Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!” He insisted that he would not leave me. 56．Did Robinson often hear a man’s voice? 57．Who was better at learning each other’s language, Robinson or Friday? 58．How long did it take Robinson to teach Friday to use tools? 59．Why did Friday feel excited after Robinson took him to the highest point of the island? 60．According to the dialogue between Robinson or Friday, what do you think of Friday? 【答案】56．No. 57．Friday. 58．For 3 years./It took Robinson 3 years to teach to use tools. 59．With the sight of his own country./Because of (seeing) his own country./Because of the sight of his own country./Because he saw his own country. 60．Sincere/Loyal/Honest… 【导语】本文选自《鲁滨逊漂流记》，主要讲述鲁滨逊与仆人星期五的相处经历。 56．根据“How good it was to hear a man’s voice again!”可知，鲁滨逊再次听到人的声音感觉很好，由此推断他并不常听到人的声音，故填No. 57．根据“Soon my new servant showed him much better at learning my language than I was learning at his.” 可知，星期五学习鲁滨逊语言的能力，比鲁滨逊学习星期五语言的能力要好，故填Friday. 58．根据“For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools.”可知，鲁滨逊教星期五使用工具花了三年时间，故填For 3 years./It took Robinson 3 years to teach to use tools. 59．根据“Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited with the sight of his own country.”可知，星期五兴奋是因为看到了自己的国家，故填With the sight of his own country./Because of (seeing) his own country./Because of the sight of his own country./Because he saw his own country. 60．开放性问题，言之有理即可。根据“Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!”可知，他不想离开鲁滨逊，愿意和鲁滨逊在一起，体现出他对鲁滨逊的忠诚、真诚，故填Sincere/Loyal/Honest… 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） Do you feel sleepy on rainy days? If the answer is yes, you’re not a 61 . Many people feel the same way. But do you know why? One of the r 62 is that there’s little sunshine on rainy days. Our brain will have less serotonin (血清素) and more melatonin (褪黑素) if there’s not e 63 sunlight. Serotonin helps us feel good, while melatonin makes us feel sleepy. As a result, we may want to go to s 64 . The humidity (湿度) of a rainy day is a 65 reason. As it rains, the air becomes wetter than usual. It’s more difficult for our sweat (汗水) to dry in weather like this, so our body has to work h 66 to stay cool. This can make us feel tired. Moreover, the s 67 of rain, a type of pink noise, will make us feel sleepy too. Like white noise, pink noise includes all the sound frequencies (频率) humans can hear, but it has fewer high frequencies t 68 white noise. This makes pink noise sound softer. Studies show that people’s brain waves (电波) will become fewer when they hear pink noise, so they’ll fall asleep more e 69 . What can you do if you don’t like that feeling? Well, you can get as much natural light as possible and keep y 70 busy. Also, you can use a machine to make your room dry. In this way, you won’t feel sleepy any more. 【答案】 61．(a)lone 62．(r)easons 63．(e)nough 64．(s)leep 65．(a)nother 66．(h)arder 67．(s)ound 68．(t)han 69．(e)asily 70．(y)ourself/(y)ourselves 【导语】本文主要解释为什么在雨天人会感觉困。 61．句意：如果答案是肯定的，你并不孤单。根据首字母提示及“Many people feel the same way.”可知，你并不“孤单”，alone“孤单的”符合句意，作表语。故填(a)lone。 62．句意：原因之一是雨天几乎没有阳光。根据首字母提示及“...that there’s little sunshine on rainy days.”可知，雨天几乎没有阳光是其中原因之一，reason“原因”符合句意。one of the后跟名词复数。故填(r)easons。 63．句意：如果没有足够的阳光，我们的大脑将会有更少的血清素和更多的褪黑素。根据首字母提示及“if there’s not... sunlight.”可知，空处指“足够的”，其英文为enough，修饰名词sunlight。故填(e)nough。 64．句意：结果，我们可能想要去睡觉。根据首字母提示及“As a result, we may want to go to...”可知，空处指“睡觉”，英文为sleep，为名词。故填(s)leep。 65．句意：雨天的湿度是另一个原因。根据首字母提示及“The humidity (湿度) of a rainy day is a...reason.”可知，雨天的湿度是另一个原因，another“另一个”符合句意。故填(a)nother。 66．句意：我们的汗水在这样的天气中要干燥更困难，因此我们的身体必须更加努力工作才能保持凉爽。根据首字母提示及“It’s more difficult for our sweat (汗水) to dry in weather like this”可知，此时汗水想要干燥会更困难，我们身体需要“更加努力”工作才能保持凉爽。harder“更努力”符合句意，为比较级，与more difficult对应。故填(h)arder。 67．句意：而且，雨声，一种粉红色的噪音，会让我们感到困倦。根据首字母提示及“a type of pink noise”可知，空处指“声音”，sound“声音”符合句意。故填(s)ound。 68．句意：像白色噪声一样，粉红色的噪声包含所有人类可以听到的声音频率，但是它的高频比白色噪声较少。根据首字母提示及“but it has fewer high frequencies...white noise.”可知，空处是粉红色的高频与白色的高频相比较，故需than“比”，用于两者之间比较。故填(t)han。 69．句意：研究表明，当人们听到粉红色的声音时，人们的脑波会变得更少，因此他们会更容易入睡。根据首字母提示及“so they’ll fall asleep more...”可知，脑波变少，人们会更容易入睡。easily“容易地”符合句意。more easily为比较级，修饰动词fall。故填(e)asily。 70．句意：好吧，你/你们可以获得尽可能多的自然光，并保持你自己/你们自己忙碌。根据首字母提示及“Well, you can get as much natural light as possible and keep...busy”可知，空处指“你自己/你们自己”，需反身代词yourself/yourselves，故填(y)ourself/(y)ourselves。 七、书面表达（计30分） A. 句子翻译（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线 71．当我今早醒来时，我妈妈在为我做早饭。 【答案】When/While/As I woke up this morning, my mother was making/cooking breakfast for me. 【详解】根据中文提示可知，该句是复合句，主句时态是过去进行时，从句时态为一般过去时。when/while/as“当……时候”，引导时间状语从句；I“我”；wake up“醒来”，从句用过去时，动词用过去式woke；this morning“今早”；my mother“我的妈妈”，作主句主语；make/cook breakfast“做早餐”，此处主句用过去进行时was doing；for me“为我”。故填When/While/As I woke up this morning, my mother was making/cooking breakfast for me. 72．我爸爸的汽车因为寒冷的天气出故障了。 【答案】My dad’s car broke down because of the cold weather. 【详解】我爸爸的汽车：my dad’s car；出故障：break down；因为：because of；寒冷的天气：the cold weather。句子描述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故填My dad’s car broke down because of the cold weather. 73．在网络的帮助下，他们轻而易举地就解决了问题。 【答案】With the help of the Internet, they worked out the problem easily. 【详解】with the help of在……的帮助下，位于句首，首字母大写，the Internet网络，with the help of the Internet在网络的帮助下，作伴随状语；they他们，作主语，work out解决，作谓语，根据题意，此句是一般过去时，work应用过去式worked；the problem问题，作宾语；easily容易地，副词，修饰动词。故填With the help of the Internet, they worked out the problem easily. 74．这辆蓝色的小汽车不如那辆红色的小汽车贵。 【答案】This blue car is not as/so expensive as the red one. 【详解】这辆蓝色的小汽车：This blue car，作主语；不如……一样……：not as/so...as，主语为单数，be动词需is，不如……贵：not as/so expensive as；那辆红色的小汽车：the red one。故填This blue car is not as/so expensive as the red one. 75．政府已制定法律阻止人们捕猎野生动物。 【答案】The government has made laws to stop/prevent/keep people from hunting wild animals. 【详解】政府：government；制定法律：make laws；阻止某人做某事：stop/prevent/keep sb from doing sth，此处应用不定式表目的；人们：people；捕猎：hunt；野生动物：wild animal，应用复数表示泛指。根据句意可知，此句是现在完成时，主语是三单，助动词用has。故填The government has made laws to stop/prevent/keep people from hunting wild animals.

It’s very useful for people’s life and work. Let’s have a look. Start of Spring, the first solar term of the year, falls on February 4th this year. After Start of Spring, the daytime is becoming longer and the weather is becoming warmer. And people eat spring pancakes and spring rolls on the day. Summer Solstice, the 10th solar term, falls on June 21st this year. Summer Solstice is not the hottest time in a year. The hottest days often come 20 to 30 days later. People have a tradition of eating noodles on the day. Autumn Equinox, the 16th solar term, falls on September 22nd this year. On this day, day and night are of equal length (等长). After this day, days get shorter and nights get longer in the northern hemisphere (北半球). In South China, people eat Qiucai, a kind of amaranth. Major Snow, or “Daxue” in Chinese, the 21st solar term, falls on December 6th this year. It marks the arrival of midwinter. People have the customs of eating lamb and porridge. 31．How many solar terms are in Chinese lunar calendar? A．4. B．6. C．20. D．24. 32．According to the passage, which of the following day may be the hottest? A．May 15th. B．October 15th. C．September 15th. D．July 15th. 33．In October this year, days are ________ nights in Yangzhou. A．shorter than B．longer than C．as long as D．as warm as B You’re walking down the street, thinking about your own business when a stranger passes by. He doesn’t say anything at all, but he gives you a smile. In a moment and almost unwillingly, you’re doing the same thing. You just can’t help it and you catch his smile. For some unknown reason, when we see someone smile, we just can’t stop ourselves doing the same thing. In honor of World Smile Day (the first Friday in October), it’s the time we got real answers to this matter. Is smiling contagious (感染性的) ? Well, a study in the Trends in Cognitive Sciences journal gives the answer “yes”. As part of the research, social psychologists (心理学家) looked into why we often copy (模仿) people’s facial expressions when we talk to them. Interestingly, one of the conclusions (结论) was that we “try on” the emotions (感情) of others when we are talking with them. So, for example, when a friend tells us some good news happily, we may unconsciously (无意识地) show the same emotion through our smile. In doing so, we are feeling and understanding their joy. So the reason we smile back when someone smiles at us is that we want to feel the same way as that person. However, not everyone can do this. During the research, the psychologists find people with some diseases can’t copy others’ facial expressions. They know someone is smiling but they cannot smile back. 34．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A．The reason for smiling back. B．An opinion on smiling back. C．The result of smiling back. D．An example of smiling back. 35．Why do we smile back when we see someone else smile? A．Because we want to talk with the person. B．Because we are feeling the person’s joy. C．Because we want the person to understand us. D．Because we want to show we are clever. 36．What problems do people with some diseases have? A．They can’t feel happy when others smile at them. B．They smile too much and can’t stop it. C．They can’t copy others’ smiles. D．They never smile and they are unhappy. 37．Which could be the best title for this passage? A．Why is smiling contagious? B．What’s World Smile Day? C．Why should we smile? D．Do you know how to smile? C Sammy checked his calendar. “Yes!” he cried, jumping out of bed. “I mean NO! It’s Opposite Day (反话日)!” He put his shirt on inside out and walked backward down the hall. “Good night, Mom,” he said in the kitchen. “Have a bad day at work!” “What’s wrong?” asked mom. “It’s Opposite Day!” Sammy explained. Sammy and his friends came across at the bus stop and waved. “Good-bye!” they said at the same time. At school, the kids were going into the door marked Exit. “What’s wrong?” asked the head teacher. “It’s Opposite Day!” said the students. During math, the kids added when the sign said to subtracts (减法). “What’s wrong?” cried their teacher, Ms. Trix. “It’s Opposite Day!” said the class. “That’s right,” said Ms. Trix. “In that case, there’s no homework tonight.” “Yay!” said the kids. But then they remembered what day it was. Ms. Trix wrote their homework on the board. That afternoon, Ms. Trix asked the kids to present their book reports. “Oh no!” thought Sammy. He’d been so excited about Opposite Day that he had left his report at home. “Make something up or tell the truth?”, Sammy thought to himself. “Ms. Trix,” he said when she called on him, “Sorry, I won’t be able to turn in my report today.” Ms. Trix looks at Sammy for a while and laughed. “I get it! Opposite Day. I guess that means you will turn it in tomorrow! Well, I expect it to be terrible. And by that, I mean great!” Sammy breathed a sigh of relief (松了口气). Thanks to Opposite Day! 38．On Opposite Day, if Sammy wants to go to bed, he will say “________”. A．Good morning! B．Good afternoon! C．Good evening!

They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver (派送) food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you scratch (挠) their heads. Are robot waiters the future? It is a question that the restaurant industry is trying to answer.                                                     Many people think that robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages (短缺). Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide. “There is no doubt (怀疑) in my mind that this is where the world is going,” said Dennis Reynolds, head of the Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. The school’s restaurant began using a robot last year. Reynolds said that it has reduced the workload for humans and made service better. However, others think that robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. They cannot walk up the steps to different areas of a restaurant. “Restaurants are pretty chaotic (混乱的) places, so it is very hard to add automation (自动化) in a way that is really helpful,” said Craig Le Clair from an advising company. Still, the use of robots is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its service robot in 2021. The company expects to sell more robots by the end of this year in America and overseas. In China, Shenzhen-based Pudu Robotics, which was founded in 2016, has deployed more than 56,000 robots worldwide. 42．What tasks can robot waiters do in restaurants according to the passage? A．Take orders. B．Deliver food and drinks. C．Cook food. D．Mix drinks. 43．Why do many people think that robot waiters are helpful to worker shortages? A．Because they can deal with money problems. B．Because they can provide special customer service. C．Because they can finish tasks well and reduce workload. D．Because they can certainly take the place of human workers. 44．What does Dennis Reynolds think of robot waiters? A．They will be popular in the future. B．They provide worse service than humans. C．They are not practical (实用的) in restaurant environments. D．They are too expensive for most restaurants to afford. 45．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Robot waiters will replace humans in the future. B．Whether robot waiters are the future is uncertain. C．Robot waiters will be better than humans in the future. D．Robot waiters aren’t clever enough to be really helpful. 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 46．The tour guide needs to take care of those (渔民) bags while they are away. 47．After taking the final examination, she isn’t (紧张不安的) any more. 48．Thanks for (描述) the wild animals to us! 49．He didn’t feel well this morning.

When waking up in the morning, he greeted me, down on his knees, with hands on his head. At first, we communicated primarily by body languages. Soon my new servant showed him much better at learning my language than I was learning at his. I studied him, and soon he could say his name, “Master”, “Yes” and “No”, and the names for various items. How good it was to hear a man’s voice again! It took Friday time to grow used to the idea of hunting with a gun. I had to shoot several animals and birds before he stopped running away. For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools. Friday was quick to help with the farming and feeding. He worked hard and was obedient (服从). One day, I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited with the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe, though it was quite old. “Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?” I asked him. “Oh, yes,” he answered. “It can carry a lot of food and drink.” But a moment later, Friday looked very upset. “Are you angry with me?” he asked. “What have I done? Why do you want to send me away?” “But I thought you wanted to go home,” I said. “Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!” He insisted that he would not leave me. 56．Did Robinson often hear a man’s voice? 57．Who was better at learning each other’s language, Robinson or Friday? 58．How long did it take Robinson to teach Friday to use tools? 59．Why did Friday feel excited after Robinson took him to the highest point of the island? 60．According to the dialogue between Robinson or Friday, what do you think of Friday? 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） Do you feel sleepy on rainy days? If the answer is yes, you’re not a 61 . Many people feel the same way. But do you know why? One of the r 62 is that there’s little sunshine on rainy days. Our brain will have less serotonin (血清素) and more melatonin (褪黑素) if there’s not e 63 sunlight. Serotonin helps us feel good, while melatonin makes us feel sleepy. As a result, we may want to go to s 64 . The humidity (湿度) of a rainy day is a 65 reason. As it rains, the air becomes wetter than usual. It’s more difficult for our sweat (汗水) to dry in weather like this, so our body has to work h 66 to stay cool. This can make us feel tired. Moreover, the s 67 of rain, a type of pink noise, will make us feel sleepy too. Like white noise, pink noise includes all the sound frequencies (频率) humans can hear, but it has fewer high frequencies t 68 white noise. This makes pink noise sound softer. Studies show that people’s brain waves (电波) will become fewer when they hear pink noise, so they’ll fall asleep more e 69 . What can you do if you don’t like that feeling? Well, you can get as much natural light as possible and keep y 70 busy. Also, you can use a machine to make your room dry. In this way, you won’t feel sleepy any more. 七、书面表达（计30分） A. 句子翻译（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线 71．当我今早醒来时，我妈妈在为我做早饭。 72．我爸爸的汽车因为寒冷的天气出故障了。 73．在网络的帮助下，他们轻而易举地就解决了问题。 74．这辆蓝色的小汽车不如那辆红色的小汽车贵。 75．政府已制定法律阻止人们捕猎野生动物。 B. 写作（计20分） 76．最近，你校新成立的“动物保护手工创意俱乐部”正在火热招募成员！俱乐部会将大家对手工艺的热爱，转化成守护动物的实际行动。假如你是王强，想加入其中。请根据表格中的内容要点用英文写一封申请信。 自我介绍 八年级学生；乐于助人；喜欢交朋友。 申请原因 痴迷手工制作，擅长利用旧衣服创作东西；想更多地了解动物。 所熟悉动物的情况 1. 动物名称：……2. 食物或习性：……3. 面临的危险：…… 加入后打算 1. 制作并售卖有关动物的书签（bookmark）以筹集资金； 2. ……（补充至少1个点） 联系方式 Simon@qq.com 要求： （1）表达清楚，语法正确，上下文连贯； （2）必须包括提示中所有信息，并适当发挥； （3）词数：100词左右（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； （4）不得使用真实姓名、校名、地名等。 Dear Chairperson, I would like to join the Animal Protection Handicraft Creative Club.
