I was a teenager, but I remember everything 26 , like it happened yesterday. Back then, Sai Kung was a quiet fishing village. There were no highways or fast buses — just boats on the water and simple life by the sea. My family lived on a small boat. Every day, my parents 27 the fish we caught. We didn’t have much money, 28 we managed to live and felt happy. I often wondered about kids who lived on land in big buildings. I felt a little ashamed to say I was a fisherman’s son, so I didn’t tell my classmates. I 29 living in a warm, comfortable apartment someday. The things didn’t change 30 I met Ching. Her family came from one small village and parked their boat next to 31 in 1968. One night, I was swimming with my brother near our boats. Suddenly, I heard a loud shout: “Help! Help!” from Ching’s boat. I saw bubbles (泡泡) in the water and dived down. It was dark, but I saw Ching underwater. I swam as fast as I could, caught her arm, and 32 her up. She wasn’t breathing. I remembered my first-aid lessons and saved her at once. Finally, she 33 up water and opened her eyes. Her parents were so thankful, but I felt like Ching was a 34 to me. From that day, we were always together. I didn’t admire (羡慕) the kids living in tall buildings or feel lonely any more. Because I had good friends to play with and talk from heart to heart. Then we had children, and now we have grandchildren. Life is different now — we live in a house, and my grandchildren don’t know how to fish! But it doesn’t matter.

Robotic Knight Italian artist and engineer, Leonardo da Vinci came up with the idea after studying the human body. The robot could stand, sit and move its arms. However, da Vinci only drew the plans. The robot was built for the first time in the 1990s. Herbert Televox This is seen as the world’s first humanoid (类人的) robot. Roy J. Wensley in the US made it in 1927. When the phone rings (响), Televox would answer it and make some buzzing sounds to tell you that the number you called was correct. ASIMO It looked like a person in a spacesuit (航天服).The Japanese business Honda first developed it in 2000. The robot could say hi to humans. It was also able to get around the things in its way. Sophia The United Nations Development Program called Sophia “a global icon (全球偶像)”. It can make facial expressions, talk with people and understand their gestures (手势). Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics invented it. In 2017, Saudi Arabia gave Sophia citizenship (公民身份). That made it the world’s first robot citizen. 36. Which of the following is the first human-like robot? A. Robotic Knight. B. Herbert Televox. C. ASIMO. D. Sophia. 37. How is Sophia different from other robots? A. It is the world’s first robot citizen. B. It can say hello to humans. C. It is the first robot to move its arms. D. It is the first robot to talk with people. 38. In which part of a magazine can we probably read the article? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Sports. D. Science. B Were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay really the first people to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain? Some believe that British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the top before them in June 1924. Unluckily, this is difficult to know for sure because both men disappeared somewhere high on the mountain. In 1999, a team of climbers visited the mountain, hoping to learn the truth. Near the First Step, on the way to the mountain top, the team found Mallory’s oxygen tank (氧气罐), which shows he and Irvine had been near the top. Close by, a member of the team — Conrad Anker — discovered Mallory’s body (尸体). When the team checked Mallory’s body, they found things like a knife and matches, but no photos. Why is this important? Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him. He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain, if he reached it. So some people guess he might reach the top. Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top? Probably not, according to Anker. Here are some reasons why he thought this way. : Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain’s Second Step. This is a 27-meter wall of rock. Climbing this part is very difficult, even with modern climbing equipment (设备). Without the right tools, it is impossible that Mallory and Irvine were able to continue to the top. No frostbite (冻伤): Mallory and Irvine were seen near the top late in the day. Climbers who reach the top at this time need to camp at the top. If they do this, it is common to get frostbite. But Mallory’s body had no signs of frostbite. So what happened to Mallory and Irvine? Anker thinks they probably turned back just after the First Step. When Mallory was going down the mountain, perhaps he fell by accident. Irvine’s body has never been found. Whatever happened, they will always be remembered as early brave climbers. 39. Why did the team climb the mountain in 1999? A. To search for Mallory’s oxygen tank. B. To check if Irvine left his photo at the top. C. To become as famous as Hillary and Tenzing. D. To learn if Mallory and Irvine reached the top. 40. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The team didn’t find photos on Mallory’s body. B. The team found some matches on Mallory’s body. C. The team found Mallory’s dead body near the top. D. The team found Mallory’s oxygen tank near the top. 41. Which of the following can be put into “ ” in Paragraph 5? A. Reach the top B. Difficult climb C. Camp at night D. Right tools 42. Which of the following would Conrad Anker probably agree with? A. Mallory and Irvine didn’t reach the mountain top. B. Modern climbers can easily climb the Second Step. C. Mallory fell when he took a photo at the mountain top. D. Mallory and Irvine camped near the top and got frostbite. C “Shh, listen to the song.” This is the instruction given by our guide, who cut the engine of our small boat. I sit quietly and listen carefully. An echo (回声) of chattering parrots breaks the loud noise of the cicadas (蝉). A group of swallows fly through the trees singing together. All around us, armies of mosquitos rise above the water’s surface. I’ve come to spend days sailing along the Amazon River for experiences like this. I’m here during rainy season. The river is at its highest, flooding the forest and pushing out local communities who spend half the year living along the banks of the Amazon. The whole village temporarily disappear below the surface of water. While the river seems to completely destroy (破坏) the forest, it also creates new routes from which to see it. My guide Aguilar is born and raised here, he has a deep knowledge and understanding of the forest and the river. He talked about the plants and animals, explaining how humans here have not just lived peacefully with its ecosystem (生态系统) but have depended on it for thousands of years. “Nature is part of us,” Aguilar says. I excitedly document each new sighting: the eye of a baby crocodile peeking through the grass; a white-throated toucan (巨嘴鸟) taking flight; a pair of sloths (树懒) lying lazily in a tree. Back on the boat, Aguilar shows me a tree frog the size of a coin on the end of his finger. As we wind our way along the river, everything before my eyes seems to remind me that nothing here is what it seems — or rather, what I am looking at today may not be here tomorrow. “It’s amazing how the Amazon is always changing,” says Aguilar. 43. What can we know from the writer’s experiences in the Amazon River? A. The writer came to Amazon for recording different sounds. B. The writer uses different senses to experience the Amazon. C. Local people can’t protect the environment and ecosystem. D. The Amazon always keeps changing because of its weather. 44. What does the underlined word temporarily in Paragraph 3 mean? A. In a fixed order. B. In an unexpected way. C. In a way that lasts for a short time. D. With a rapid movement. 45. Which old Chinese saying can best explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? A. 知者乐水，仁者乐山。 B. 兰生幽谷，不为莫服而不芳。 C. 见一叶落，而知岁之将暮。 D. 万物各得其和以生，各得其养以成。 46. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Slowing down to the song of nature. B. Living peacefully with the ecosystem. C. Creating new routes to see the Amazon. D. Learning animals along the Amazon River. D People experience a flow state when they deeply pay attention to an activity that is challenging (挑战) enough to match their skills. Getting into a flow state helps people learn and further develop their skills while also increasing their enjoyment of those skills. In the 1960s, psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi noticed that many artists fell into this single - minded state while doing their creative work. His research on the topic showed that people can experience flow during different situations, including games like chess, sports like surfing or rock climbing, professional activities like performing surgery (进行手术), or creative activities like writing or painting. Time seems to pass more quickly than usual when people are in this state. He used the term “flow state” to describe this experience because many of the people he interviewed about it said the experience was like being “in flow”. The state of flow can be brought about by any experience, whether work or play, he explained. “It is the full participation of flow, rather than happiness, that makes for excellence in life”. Flow is also valuable for learning and developing skills. He noted the value of increasing challenges, and they should be just a little outside one’s skill set. This encourages the person to stay in the flow state while also helping them to learn new skills. Many people are interested in achieving flow because it can help improve performance and increase happiness. This can be different for different people. While one person may enter a flow state while gardening, another may do so while drawing or running a marathon. The key is to find an activity that the person is passionate (热情的) about and finds enjoyable. In addition, the activity must be challenging enough to need people to raise their skill levels just beyond their abilities. High challenges and high skills will result in deep involvement (参与) in the activity and create the desired flow state. However, the balance between skill level and challenge must be optimal to achieve flow. If the challenge is too high, it can lead to anxiety (焦虑); if the challenge is too low, it can lead to boredom. Today, it can be hard to ensure that one’s environment is good for flow. If noise keeps appearing, it won’t lead to a flow state. You should turn off mobile phones if you want to achieve flow. 47. What can we learn about flow state from the passage? A. People are passionate and noisy when they are in the state of flow. B. Time seems to pass more slowly than usual when people experience flow. C. People may experience flow when they keep their minds deeply on something. D. Flow state can help people protect their environment and then achieve their goals. 48. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. The history of the research. B. The benefits of a flow state. C. The new challenges of a flow state. D. The difficulties of learning new skills. 49. The word “optimal” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to . A. just right B. just new C. quite common D. quite opposite 50. The writer probably agrees that . A. anxiety can help people get into a flow state B. people will feel bored when the challenge is too high C. people can get into a flow state in all kinds of environments D. both high challenges and skills are necessary for a flow state 第II卷（非选择题，共50分） 五、填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） （A）根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为51-55的相应横线上。 ColourWalk has become popular online this spring.

Now, I know it’s better to keep things simple and do it well, rather than over-complicate (使过分复杂) everything and do it badly. So, in English writing exams, you want to show off your English, but you want to show off your right English, not all this English that you don’t know or haven’t learnt yet. Have a Collection of Set Phrases (固定搭配) In order not to make mistakes, it’s a really, really good idea to have a collection of set phrases and key words that you can use in the exam. Make sure that you have different ways to… Compare: in the same way, at the same time Give your opinion: from my point of view, in my view Add information: in addition, besides …… So, that’s just a very brief list showing you exactly what you need to study to be fully prepared for any English writing exam. Reduce Your Word Number Use as few words as possible to reduce your word number. Avoid pointless words like very, a lot. Replace them, instead, with a strong word. By using strong words, you can reduce your word number by a fair bit. Another way is avoiding there is and there are. We want everything to be as clear as possible. Thus, you can increase the quality of your writing. Check Your Work Tip number four. Students will make some stupid mistakes when they’re writing. After being asked to correct the mistakes, they will say, “We already know this. So easy!” and it’s because they don’t check their work. I personally think it’s much better if you write less and check more. Fewer words, higher accuracy (准确率). Then you will make your writing better. Four Simple Ways to Better Your Writing Keep it simple ● Keep things simple and do it well 66 of over-complicating everything and doing it badly. ● Show off your English by presenting right English but not the English 67 to you or not learnt. 69 Set Phrases ● Have a collection of set phrases and key words to 68 making mistakes. ● Make sure that you have different ways to express your idea, such as in addition, besides to add information. ● List what you need to study to be fully 70 for writing exams. Reduce Your Word Number ● Replace pointless words with strong words. ● Avoid using there is or there are to make your writing 71 and clearer. Check Your Work ● Some stupid mistakes are made because the students 72 to check their work. Conclusion ● Write less and check more, 73 sure fewer words but higher accuracy, and you will write perfectly. Besides the above advice, what should you do to improve your writing? 74. (B)根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Three months ago, I started a journey. It r 75 neither a backpack nor a plane ticket. What I needed was a notebook and a pen. I decided to r 76 every single day for 90 days, just through words on paper, not audio or videos. Now I’ve finished this challenge. I’m here to share the i 77 and feelings I have gained, hopefully e 78 you to try this useful tool. I’m a listener to myself. Most of us spend a lot of time listening to others. But in that process, we often neglect (忽视) the most important voice —— our own. For many people, life is so busy that they don’t have time to think. However, that is wrong. When I started writing, I felt s 79 to notice the deep thoughts and feelings in my mind. I never expected that I would have so much to say. The past is not a prison. Through writing about my experiences, I found that I could see my past in a new light. Those experiences weren’t a cage; they were l 80 that taught me a lot. I learned to face life with an open-mind from mistakes. I also became aware of the meaning of life through pains and difficulties. Recording helped me move on. The f 81 is a canvas (画布). Recording didn’t just make me a historian of my past; it also made me an architect (建筑师) of tomorrow. It is filled with ideas, goals and hopes. I was a 82 to plan and dream like never before. My record turned out to be a priceless t 83 for my personal growth and development, as it helped me plan my own life and prepare for it. By recording, I saw my strengths, weaknesses, gains and losses. I saw all parts of myself —— and I a 84 them all. I don’t need to be perfect. What really matters is that I am in progress. 七、书面表达（满分15分） 85.为了践行社会主义核心价值观，你校学生会决定举办以 “文明礼仪伴我行 （Civilization and etiquette with me）” 为主题的英语征文比赛。请你根据下面思维导图的提示，写一篇英语短文参赛。 注意： 1.词数为80左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称； 4.短文开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 As middle school students, we should have good manners.
