In these pet-themed restaurants, people can play with cats, dogs, ducks, rabbits or other animals while eating or having drinks. With so many pet lovers today, it isn’t surprising that such restaurants are now everywhere in Chinese cities. ★ In most of the pet-themed restaurants, many cats or dogs are allowed to walk freely in their living areas and even in the dining space. Even worse, animal hair is everywhere, and there’s often a bad smell in the restaurants. In one of the dog-themed restaurants, the dogs fight, jump onto the dining table or even poop in the dining area. In October, there was a hearing (听证会) about the food safety of the pet-themed restaurants in Guangzhou. Some people at the meeting talked about their concerns. They thought the animals in the pet-themed restaurants might carry parasites (寄生虫) and spread diseases, which were bad for people. Besides, although the animals are kept by the restaurants as pets, they may attack (袭击) people. As more pets are entering Chinese families, they have become an important part of people’s daily lives. The growing pet-themed restaurants have made people’s lives interesting and colorful. However, without rules and regulations, the restaurants can’t be good choices for people. 50. Which of the following can be put in ★ . A. However, is it safe to enjoy food in such an environment? B. That’s why the restaurant owners make a lot of money. C. Animals in these restaurants are relaxed and free. D. They serve delicious food. 51. According to Paragraph 3, animals in pet-themed restaurants ________.

How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind? For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face. Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate. To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer! 53. Why do scientists think a robot needs a face? A. It will become more beautiful. B. It can do better in lifting things. C It will pay more attention to children. D. It can better communicate with people. 54. What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2? A. Uncomfortable to look at. B. Impossible to touch. C. Boring to talk to. D. Difficult to understand. 55. Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with? A. People should treat robots as humans. B. Robots need to express their own feelings. C. Robots shouldn’t look too much like humans. D. People can easily accept robots with a human face. 56. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To explain the reasons why robots should have faces. B.

However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain. This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours. The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was, “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day. Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list. Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day. 57. What did Mike write on his not-to-do list? ________________________________________ 58. How long did Mike study the next day? ________________________________________ 59. According to Paragraph 4, what problem did Mike realize? ________________________________________ 60. Would you like to make a “not-to-do list”? Why or why not? (At least two reasons.) ________________________________________ 【答案】57. No video games until 7:00 pm. 58. Three and a half hours. 59. Having no restrictions was the problem. 60. Yes, I would. Because it not only helps me focus on my most important task but also helps me develop my self-descipline.(言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过讲述迈克准备考试的经历，告诉我们列一个“不能做的事情”清单的重要性。 【57题详解】 根据“He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was: ‘No video games until 7:00 pm.’”可知，迈克在清单中写到：晚上7点之前不许玩电子游戏。故填No video games until 7:00 pm. 【58题详解】 根据“Mike went to study, did it for half an hour”及“Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day”可知，迈克第二天共学习了三个半小时。故填Three and a half hours. 【59题详解】 根据“Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem.”可知，迈克意识到没有限制是个问题。故填Having no restrictions was the problem. 【60题详解】 “不能做的事情”清单可以帮助我们在生活和学习中聚焦于重点事项，并且可以帮我们培养自律。故填Yes, I would. Because it not only helps me focus on my most important task but also helps me develop my self-descipline.(言之有理即可) Part 2 Writing.

She told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag with a few big potatoes. Each potato was given the name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes that a child put in his or her plastic bag was the number of people he or she hated. When the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the names of the people he or she hated. Some had two potatoes, some had three while some had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they went. Days after days passed, and the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes. Besides, those having as many as five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After weeks, the children were relieved (如释重负的) because the game had finally ended. The teacher asked “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you these days?” The children let out their upset and started complaining about the trouble they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they went. Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred (憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. Just forgive someone you hate and keep going ahead. If you cannot tolerate (忍受) the smell of rotten potatoes for just a short period of time, can you imagine what it is like to have hatred in your heart for your lifetime?” 47. How many potatoes could the children bring to school? A. Five potatoes at most. B. No more than two or three. C. The same number as those they hated. D. They can bring as many as they want. 48. How might the children feel while carrying the potatoes? A. Sad and scared. B. Upset and unhappy. C. Anxious and angry. D. Nervous and dissatisfied. 49. What does the teacher try to teach the children? A. Tolerate hatred if you can’t forget it. B. Forgive those you hate and move on. C. Carry a potato bag wherever you go. D. Never buy rotten potatoes even if they’re cheap. Passage C Now in China many restaurants are known for their pets rather than food. In these pet-themed restaurants, people can play with cats, dogs, ducks, rabbits or other animals while eating or having drinks. With so many pet lovers today, it isn’t surprising that such restaurants are now everywhere in Chinese cities. ★ In most of the pet-themed restaurants, many cats or dogs are allowed to walk freely in their living areas and even in the dining space. Even worse, animal hair is everywhere, and there’s often a bad smell in the restaurants. In one of the dog-themed restaurants, the dogs fight, jump onto the dining table or even poop in the dining area. In October, there was a hearing (听证会) about the food safety of the pet-themed restaurants in Guangzhou. Some people at the meeting talked about their concerns. They thought the animals in the pet-themed restaurants might carry parasites (寄生虫) and spread diseases, which were bad for people. Besides, although the animals are kept by the restaurants as pets, they may attack (袭击) people. As more pets are entering Chinese families, they have become an important part of people’s daily lives. The growing pet-themed restaurants have made people’s lives interesting and colorful. However, without rules and regulations, the restaurants can’t be good choices for people. 50. Which of the following can be put in ★ . A. However, is it safe to enjoy food in such an environment? B. That’s why the restaurant owners make a lot of money. C. Animals in these restaurants are relaxed and free. D. They serve delicious food. 51. According to Paragraph 3, animals in pet-themed restaurants ________. A. eat dirty food B. are in poor health C. may make people sick D. like attacking people 52. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the pet-themed restaurants? A. People need them to help keep pets. B. They should be closed as soon as possible. C. People can choose any of them as they like. D. Rules and regulations should be made for them. Passage D Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind? For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face. Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate. To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer! 53. Why do scientists think a robot needs a face? A. It will become more beautiful. B. It can do better in lifting things. C. It will pay more attention to children. D. It can better communicate with people. 54. What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2? A. Uncomfortable to look at. B. Impossible to touch. C. Boring to talk to. D. Difficult to understand. 55. Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with? A. People should treat robots as humans. B. Robots need to express their own feelings. C. Robots shouldn’t look too much like humans. D. People can easily accept robots with a human face. 56. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To explain the reasons why robots should have faces. B. To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces. C. To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have. D. To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.
