考查动词辨析。discovered发现,指发现已存在的事物或情况;invented发明,指创造出新的事物;memorized记住,指将信息存入记忆。根据题干“that nobody was there”可知,他发现了“空无一人”这一客观存在的情况,而非发明或记住某事。故选A。

A. picnic B. hobby C. interest
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:明天是星期天,我想和父母在山上进行一次野餐。

Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The extra legs make it more stable (稳定的) and help it move faster.
The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, hear and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize (辨别) the traffic lights—real guide dogs are unable to do that.
Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind, and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said.
In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. "We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people," said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子正(T)、误(F)。
46. The robot “guide dog” has four legs.
47. Without any help, the robot dog can see, hear and speak with blind people.
48. The robot dog can do something that real guide dogs can’t.
49. Li Fei thinks the robot dog is helpful to him.
50. In China, there are only about 4,000 guide dogs.
【答案】46. F 47. F
48. T 49. T
50. F
【解析】
【导语】本文为新闻报道,主要介绍了中国科学家正在研发一款六足机器人导盲犬,以帮助视障人士,并阐述了其功能和测试情况。
【46题详解】
根据文章第1段“It has six legs instead of four.”可知,这款机器人导盲犬有六条腿,而不是四条。故答案为F。
【47题详解】
根据文章第2段“With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, hear and speak with blind people.”可知,机器人是在摄像头和人工智能帮助下才能做到这些,而非“无需任何帮助”。故答案为F。
【48题详解】
根据文章第2段“The robot can even recognize the traffic lights—real guide dogs are unable to do that.”可知,机器人可以识别交通信号灯,而真正的导盲犬无法做到这一点。故答案为T。
【49题详解】
根据文章第3段“I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future”可知,Li Fei认为机器人可能改变我们的生活,对他有帮助。故答案为T。
【50题详解】
根据文章第4段“In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs.”可知,中国只有大约400只导盲犬,而非4,000只。故答案为F。
(D)

The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. ____55____ If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要解释了压力的定义、好压力与坏压力的区别,以及如何通过平衡生活来应对压力。
【51题详解】
根据文章开头“If so, then you know what stress is...This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad.”可知,文章通过提问引入“压力”概念,在给出“you know what stress is”后,需要对这个概念进行解释,以便引出下文“这种担忧”对身体的影响。D选项“压力是当你担心某事时的感受。”符合语境,清晰地定义了“stress”是什么,使后文“This worry”的指代明确。故选D。
【52题详解】
根据文章第2段开头“However, there are different kinds of stress.... Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class...”可知,本段开始对压力进行分类,并立即举例说明“好压力”。空白处应是一个总起句,点明压力的不同类型。B选项“有些压力是好的,有些则是坏的。”符合语境,直接点明了本段的核心观点,统领了下文对好压力和坏压力的分别阐述。故选B。
【53题详解】
根据文章第2段“Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech.... For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.”可知,在举出好压力的例子后,又给出一个考试的例子来说明其积极作用。空白处位于两个例子之间,应是对“好压力”作用的概括性总结。C选项“这种压力可以帮助你更好地完成事情。”符合语境,它概括了好压力的积极功能,并自然引出后文的考试例证。故选C。
【54题详解】
根据文章第3段“On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting...or if anything else makes you unhappy every day...And it can actually make you sick.”可知,本段在描述坏压力的各种来源和其带来的负面影响。在列举了各种令人不快的来源后,空白处应是对这类负面情境下产生的压力的评价。F选项“那种压力对你没有帮助。”符合语境,它直接点明了坏压力的本质——无益甚至有害,与后文“会让你生病”的严重性相衔接。故选F。
【55题详解】
根据文章最后一段“The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life...If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.”可知,本段提出了对抗压力的最佳方法并展开说明。空白处位于首句之后,应是对“平衡生活”这一建议的具体展开。E选项“确保牢记:睡眠、锻炼和饮食。”符合语境,它用简洁的并列结构列出了平衡生活的几个关键要素,与后文详细的睡眠、饮食、锻炼和娱乐的说明相呼应。故选E。

Researchers from two universities at Chicago studied 550 children, ages three to six, to learn about how money affects children. The result proved money makes children work harder, but it also makes them less giving. To avoid raising a selfish generation, parents should talk to their children about money in the following ways according to the Money Advice Service.
____56____ With a five-year-old son or daughter, parents can start talking to them about different types of coins and let them pay for things when out shopping, so they get used to using money.
____57____ Opening a savings account (账户) for your child is a great way to show them how their money can grow. It will also start to teach them the very basic ways to invest (投资) and save money.
____58____ Provide chances for your kids to make money. Encourage them to work for it. From a young age, offer payment for "extra" work around the house and yard.
____59____ Parents should introduce their child’s education about money step by step. If parents haven’t spoken before about savings and how to use money, don’t jump in with one long chat, as it will become boring as the conversation goes on.
____60____ Although most parents give their children pocket money, only 36% of parents say they do so regularly. Being irregular can actually make it harder for children to learn about using money.

These years, many college students choose to join the army after graduation. Zhao Huan is one of them.
When Zhao Huan was 26 years old, he joined the army and became one of the soldiers on the top of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. The three-year life in the army made him really strong-willed (意志坚强的).
The weather on the mountain is terrible in winter. The snow can reach as deep as 2 metres. The lowest temperature can be -40°C. There are over 200 days a year when the wind speed is nearly 12 metres per second. “It is very difficult to fall asleep with the wind outside crying like a wolf,” Zhao said. Life was hard because of the weather.
When the snow cut off the roads, the soldiers needed water most. They had to heat the snow to get water to drink, cook and wash with. To save water, they only took a bath once a month.
Even so, Zhao and his team did not give up. Whatever difficulties they met, they tried their best to finish their tasks. Especially when they were on duty outside in winter, snow hit their faces and they were frozen because of the low temperature. But they put their duty before anything and stood like a statue (雕塑) without a slight move.
Zhao said, “Life is not easy on the top of Changbai Mountain. Thinking of the lights of thousands of homes, I think my efforts pay off. For me, all the difficulties can be overcome in the future. The experience of being a soldier here really means a lot to me.”

【答案】例文:
That Made a Difference to Me
Once, I was extremely shy and afraid to speak in public. When our class had a speech contest, I wanted to participate but lacked the courage. My teacher noticed my hesitation and had a talk with me. She encouraged me, saying, “You have unique thoughts. Just try, and you’ll do great.”
With her encouragement, I decided to give it a shot. I spent days preparing my speech, practicing in front of the mirror repeatedly. When the day of the contest came, I was nervous but managed to deliver my speech. Though I didn't win the first prize, the applause I received made me feel proud.
This experience changed me a lot. I became more confident and started taking part in more activities. It taught me that taking the first step, even when scared, can lead to wonderful things.

Father’s Day in the United States is on the third Sunday of June. It celebrates the great contribution that fathers make to their children’s lives. Many people send cards or give gifts to their fathers.
There are a lot of activities that have inspired the idea of Father’s Day. One of these was the start of the Mother’s Day tradition in the first ten years of the 20th century. Another was a memorial service held in 1908 for a large group of men. They were killed in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia, in December 1907 and many of them were fathers.
A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was an important person in the establishment of Father’s Day. Her father had to take care of six children by himself after the death of their mother. It was very hard for him at that time. Sonora was inspired by the work of Anna Jarvis, who had successfully brought about Mother’s Day celebrations. Sonora felt that her father should be remembered for what he had done. The first time Father’s Day was held in June in 1910. Father’s Day was officially recognized as a holiday in 1972 by President Nixon.

Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The extra legs make it more stable (稳定的) and help it move faster.
The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, hear and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize (辨别) the traffic lights—real guide dogs are unable to do that.
Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind, and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said.
In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. "We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people," said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子正(T)、误(F)。
46 The robot “guide dog” has four legs.
47. Without any help, the robot dog can see, hear and speak with blind people.
48. The robot dog can do something that real guide dogs can’t.
49. Li Fei thinks the robot dog is helpful to him.
50. In China, there are only about 4,000 guide dogs.
(D)

However, there are different kinds of stress. ____52____ Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. ____53____ For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. ____55____ If you get enough sleep and eat properly and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.

Researchers from two universities at Chicago studied 550 children, ages three to six, to learn about how money affects children. The result proved money makes children work harder, but it also makes them less giving. To avoid raising a selfish generation, parents should talk to their children about money in the following ways according to the Money Advice Service.
____56____ With a five-year-old son or daughter, parents can start talking to them about different types of coins and let them pay for things when out shopping, so they get used to using money.
____57____ Opening a savings account (账户) for your child is a great way to show them how their money can grow. It will also start to teach them the very basic ways to invest (投资) and save money.
____58____ Provide chances for your kids to make money. Encourage them to work for it. From a young age, offer payment for "extra" work around the house and yard.
____59____ Parents should introduce their child’s education about money step by step. If parents haven’t spoken before about savings and how to use money, don’t jump in with one long chat, as it will become boring as the conversation goes on.

These years, many college students choose to join the army after graduation. Zhao Huan is one of them.
When Zhao Huan was 26 years old, he joined the army and became one of the soldiers on the top of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. The three-year life in the army made him really strong-willed (意志坚强的).
The weather on the mountain is terrible in winter. The snow can reach as deep as 2 metres. The lowest temperature can be -40°C. There are over 200 days a year when the wind speed is nearly 12 metres per second. “It is very difficult to fall asleep with the wind outside crying like a wolf,” Zhao said. Life was hard because of the weather.
When the snow cut off the roads, the soldiers needed water most. They had to heat the snow to get water to drink, cook and wash with. To save water, they only took a bath once a month.
Even so, Zhao and his team did not give up. Whatever difficulties they met, they tried their best to finish their tasks. Especially when they were on duty outside in winter, snow hit their faces and they were frozen because of the low temperature. But they put their duty before anything and stood like a statue (雕塑) without a slight move.
Zhao said, “Life is not easy on the top of Changbai Mountain. Thinking of the lights of thousands of homes, I think my efforts pay off. For me, all the difficulties can be overcome in the future. The experience of being a soldier here really means a lot to me.”
