She is very good at the ancient Chinese craft (工艺). However, life was not always so bright for Li. In the past, an illness left her unable to walk. So she had to leave school early and stay at home for over ten years, often feeling lonely and sad. Her life changed when she joined the Yushan Centre. There, she was shocked to see handbags made from corn husks. They were amazing. More importantly, she met her teacher Gu Sui there. Ms Gu encouraged her, “You are no different from anyone else. You can build your own future.” These kind words gave Li hope for the first time. Li entered the centre’s free training program. Besides learning the craft, she also studied traditional Chinese classics. After training, Ms Gu invited Li to work at the centre. The job made Li very proud and helped her build confidence. Now Li Peipei is also a teacher at the centre, helping other people with disabilities (残疾) learn the skills. She often thinks of Ms Gu’s kindness. “Her words gave me hope,” she says. “It’s my turn to weave (编织) hope for others like me.” 4. Why did Li leave school early? A. Because of her family. B. Because of an illness. C. Because of the Yushan Centre. 5. What shocked Li at the Yushan Centre? A. The Chinese classics. B. Free training programs. C. Handbags made from corn husks. 6. How did Li feel after working in the Yushan Centre? A. Proud and confident. B. Bored and tired. C. Worried and nervous. 7. What is the writer’s opinion of the Yushan Centre? A. It is famous for disabled people. B. It is helpful in giving the disabled hope. C. It successfully trains people to become teachers. (C) ①Do you know that groundhogs (美洲旱獭) can make predictions about the end of winter? How about that elephants never forget things? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans. ②Do animals have a sixth sense that can know the future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support (证实) this idea. ③Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came down. Many people were hurt. But there was something amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Mice and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In 1975, about one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province. Why? They believed a disaster was coming. They thought this, in part, because of animals’ strange actions. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts said over 150,000 could lose their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. ④Animals seem to be pretty good at making predictions about disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees can find places before it rains. Farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Can animals really tell the future? ⑤Experts say it’s impossible that animals can know the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists don’t show animals have this ability and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals. 8. What can many animals do according to the text? A. They can know the future in different ways. B. They have better sense abilities than humans. C. They act strangely after some natural disasters. 9. How many examples does the writer use in Paragraph 3 to prove that animals can tell the future? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. 10. What's Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Animals are good at helping farmers. B. Animals are good at finding their homes. C. Animals seem to know the weather changes. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Can Animals Know the Future? B. What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future? C. How do Animals Save People’s Lives? 第二节 语篇补全(共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分) 阅读下面短文，从所给的A—E五个选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、内容完整。有一个多余选项。 The long history of China leaves us thousands of stories.

The robots waited beside human runners, starting from the same line. “I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race. During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators (操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run. There were 20 robots in the race and six of them finished it. Tiangong Ultra won first in two hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot center. “In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps.
