Toddler was only as tall as a six-year-old child, and it had no eyes or mouth, just two straight legs and a simple computer brain. Still, it could learn to walk in only twenty minutes—about six hundred steps—without any help from people. At first, it moved slowly and often lost balance (平衡), but after every step, it studied the ground, changed the way it moved its knees and arms, and tried again. Soon it walked naturally like a real child, and even climbed gentle slopes (斜坡). Toddler was shown to the public at the big American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in February 2005. Two other walking robots stood beside it, but Toddler was the smartest. Older walking robots used one motor for each part. They needed ten times more power because they fought against gravity (重力) all the time. Toddler was different. It let gravity help its body fall forward, then quickly placed the next foot under its center, just like a human. If it started to fall down, it reacted in less than one second and caught itself before hitting the ground. The team leader, Michael Foster, explained why they built Toddler. “We want robots to do jobs that are too dangerous or dirty for people,” he said. In the future, walking robots could enter burning houses to look for people who are hurt, climb broken buildings when accidents happen, or explore the faraway planets. The same program might also help doctors build better artificial legs for soldiers or children who have lost their legs. Foster believes that today’s Toddler is only the first step. “Give us ten more years,” he smiled, “and robots will walk, run, jump, and carry heavy packs beside our soldiers and save them.” Today, many middle-school students dream of joining this exciting work. Who knows? Maybe the next great helper robot will be designed in your own classroom! 1. Which is true about Toddler in Paragraph 1? A．It looked like an old man. B．It could walk without learning. C．It could walk for 600 minutes. D．It could learn to walk by itself. 2. What is the difference between Toddler and the older robots? A．Older robots used ten motors. B．Toddler had a motor for every part. C．Toddler used less power to walk. D．Toddler hit the ground more often. 3. What does the underlined word “artificial” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Natural. B．Hidden. C．Man-made. D．Perfect. 4. What could robots do in the future? A．Walk without computers. B．Work as a real doctor. C．Teach like a human. D．Help people do more things. 5. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To let readers continue to read. B．To encourage students to take part in it. C．To advise schools to buy robots. D．To show science courses are interesting. 【答案】1.D 2. C 3. C 4. D 5. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了名为Toddler的小型红色机器人的相关情况，包括其学习走路的特点、与旧款机器人的差异、未来可能的应用等，最后鼓励中学生投身相关领域工作。 【解析】1.第一段提到“Still, it could learn to walk in only twenty minutes—about six hundred steps—without any help from people.”，这直接说明了Toddler可以自己学习走路。 2.第二段提到“Older walking robots used one motor for each part. They needed ten times more power because they fought against gravity (重力) all the time. Toddler was different. It let gravity help its body fall forward, then quickly placed the next foot under its center, just like a human.”，这直接说明了Toddler和旧款机器人的区别是Toddler走路用的能量更少。 3.第三段提到“The same program might also help doctors build better artificial legs for soldiers or children who have lost their legs.”，结合语境可知，这个程序可以帮助医生为失去腿的士兵或孩子制作更好的腿，所以“artificial”意思是“人造的”。 4.第三段提到“In the future, walking robots could enter burning houses to look for people who are hurt, climb broken buildings when accidents happen, or explore the faraway planets.”，这直接说明了未来机器人可以帮助人们做更多事情。 5.最后一段提到“Today, many middle-school students dream of joining this exciting work. Who knows? Maybe the next great helper robot will be designed in your own classroom!”，这直接说明了最后一段的目的是鼓励学生参与。 B Peter kept his eyes on the ground. It was the worst day of his life. He didn’t pass the boys’ basketball tryouts (预选赛). Making the team was very important to him, but his name was not on the list. On the way home, he felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders. He was both angry and upset. “I can’t believe I didn’t make the team,” he shouted. “How did Alex make the team? He can’t keep up with a tortoise. Why is Jimmy a better choice than me? He just stands around moving his arms.” “Peter,” his father said, cutting him off, “why don’t you just stop and think? Maybe you need a little more practice. Besides, winning or losing is only half the tryouts. The other half is learning from your mistakes.” Peter didn’t speak anymore, but he thought about what his father said carefully. Then he knew his father was right. It was nobody’s fault but his own. He decided to work harder for the team over the next year. He practiced hard every day and had lessons every week. When summer came, he took part in lots of basketball camps. He tried his best to practice basketball and for sure, his abilities grew. He knew he was ready for the tryouts in the fall. The big day finally came. As everyone crowded around the list, he played it cool and waited for his chance to read the list. Finally, it was his turn at last. He slowly looked down the list. Not only did he make it on the list, but his name was the very first. At that time, he knew his hard work paid off and he knew exactly what he would do next. 6.How did Peter feel at first? A．Happy and excited. B．Angry and upset. C．Free but worried. 7.What did Peter’s father advise him to do? A．Stop playing basketball. B．Study hard and read more books. C．Work hard and learn from his mistakes. 8.What’s the correct order according to the text? a. Peter did not make the team.         b. Peter was the first on the list. c. Peter realized his own mistakes.     d. Peter’s father asked him to think about himself. e. Peter took part in many basketball camps over the summer. A．a-d-c-e-b B．d-a-c-b-e C．a-c-d-e-b 9.From the last paragraph, we can infer that _________. A．Peter will show off his progress B．Peter will fight with Jimmy and Alex C．Peter will keep practicing basketball 10.What does the writer try to tell us? A．He who laughs last laughs best. B．Hard work will finally pay off. C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 【答案】6.B 7.C 8.A 9.C 10.B 【导语】本文主要讲述了Peter未能通过篮球队选拔，在父亲的引导下认识到自身不足并努力训练，最终在次年选拔中名列第一的故事。 【解析】6.第二段明确指出感受：“On the way home, he felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders. He was both angry and upset.”，说明Peter一开始的感受是生气和沮丧。 7.第二段父亲的话“why don’t you just stop and think? Maybe you need a little more practice. Besides, winning or losing is only half the tryouts. The other half is learning from your mistakes.”表明父亲建议他努力练习并从错误中学习。 8.根据文章内容，首先是“Peter did not make the team.”（Peter没有入选球队），然后是“Peter’s father asked him to think about himself.”（Peter的父亲让他思考自己），接着是“Peter realized his own mistakes.”（Peter意识到自己的错误），再是“Peter took part in many basketball camps over the summer.”（Peter在夏天参加了很多篮球训练营），最后是“Peter was the first on the list.”（Peter是名单上的第一个），所以正确顺序是a-d-c-e-b。 9.最后一段提到“At that time, he knew his hard work paid off and he knew exactly what he would do next.”，结合前文他努力练习篮球，可知他接下来会继续练习篮球。 10.文章讲述了Peter通过努力练习篮球最终成功入选球队的故事，传达了“Hard work will finally pay off.”（努力最终会有回报）的道理。 二、完型填空（本大题共15小题，每小题3分，共计45分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出空白处的最佳选项。 Late one night, Gulliver received a warning that some nobles wanted him killed.
