Some people would say no. However, research shows that starting a conversation with a stranger can make you enjoy your day more. One day after work, Emma saw a man who was sitting alone on a bench (长椅) in the park. She wanted to talk to him, but she wasn’t sure whether he would like to chat. She once tried speaking to a lady on a bench in a hospital, but the lady said sorry and refused politely. However, this man seemed sad, so Emma finally made a decision. She walked up to him and said hi. Then they began a long conversation. When they had to say goodbye, the man thanked Emma, “Your words warmed my heart and made my day.” His words also made Emma happy for the rest of the day. This experience gave Emma a good idea. The next day, she made signs to put up on the park benches, which said, “Happy-to-Chat Bench. Sit here if you don’t mind talking with others!” The idea soon became a great success. More and more people came to sit on the benches, waiting to be talked to. Now, “Happy-to-Chat Benches” can be found in many countries. So, next time you see someone sitting alone, give them a smile and say hello. They might be happy to talk to you. You’ll never know until you give it a try. 3. Who did Emma meet in the park? A. A lady. B. A man. C. A child. 4. What did Emma do the next day? A. She wrote letters. B. She made signs. C. She gave speeches. 5. Which of the following words best describes Emma? A. Warm-hearted. B. Hard-working. C. Self-centered. 6. In which part of a magazine can people read the text? A. Music. B. History. C. Society. C Scientists are creating robots that can be used in many different areas of life. Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins (帝企鹅) to know more about their behaviour (行为). Emperor penguins are famous as shy animals. They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them. This will cause problems to their hearts. To solve it, a team of scientists created a remote control vehicle (遥控车). This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 meters away. It could move up to the penguins slowly and quietly without making them run away. It was also used to help make the documentary (纪录片) March of the Penguins. The scientists still wanted to watch emperor penguins much closer. After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. It had four black wheels, two black arms and a black-and-white painted face. The wheels were prepared for the robot to walk on the thick snow easily. This new robot didn’t scare the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer. The scientists didn’t programme (编写程序) the penguin robot to make a sound. Next time they will have the robot sing songs. Thanks to the robots, scientists could do much more research on emperor penguins. 7. Why was the penguin robot developed? A. To learn about emperor penguins’ behaviour. B. To help scientists walk on thick snow. C. To take photos for a documentary. 8. What does the underlined word “response” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Plan. B. Answer. C. Reason. 9. What will the penguin robot do next time? A. Dance on the snow. B. Sing songs. C. Swim in the sea. 10. What is the passage mainly about? A. Robots for studying penguins. B. Penguins in the nature. C. Robots for daily use. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 A white cane (手杖) is a tool that helps blind people walk safely on their own.

It began in the State of Qi during the Warring States Period. The place is now called Linzi, in Shandong Province. According to legend (传说), cuju was invented by Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor. He used it to train soldiers for battle. During the Han Dynasty, cuju became very popular. It developed into a professional sport with clear rules. Players could use their feet, knees, and chest to control the ball. However, they could not use their hands to touch it. A game was played between two teams, and each team had six players. The team that scored more goals won the game. Many famous generals, such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, enjoyed playing cuju in their free time. Even Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was a big fan of this exciting sport. He often watched matches and cheered for his favorite teams. But things changed in the Ming Dynasty. Some officials played cuju too much. They spent so much time on the sport that they often forgot their important work. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, banned (禁止) the sport for officials. Later, the Qing Dynasty kept the ban. Cuju slowly disappeared from China. However, the story of cuju did not end there. In 2004,FIFA (国际足联) officially accepted cuju as the earliest form of soccer. This made many Chinese people very proud. Just two years later, in 2006, China listed cuju as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). This means that cuju is an important part of Chinese culture and history. Today, people in Linzi still remember the history of cuju. They often hold cuju activities to show the traditional culture to visitors. Cuju is a great example of how a sport can connect the past and the present. It also shows the wisdom and creativity of ancient Chinese people. 36. Who invented cuju according to legend? ________________ 37. How many players were there in a cuju game? ________________ 38. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang ban cuju for officials? ________________ 39. When did FIFA accept cuju as the earliest form of soccer? ________________ 40. Have you ever heard of “cuju”? What do you think of this sport? ________________ 第二节(共1小题，满分15分) 41. 阅读，点亮人生。暑期将至，同学们都准备利用假期广泛阅读，开阔视野，提高阅读能力，养成阅读习惯，做个阅读小达人。假如你是李华，请根据下面提示，给你的好朋友Jake 写封邮件，向他推荐你最喜欢的一本书。 推荐书目：Journey to the West, Little Women, Treasure Island, Oliver Twist, Tom Sawyer, Robinson Crusoe, Alice in Wonderland… 要求： 1. 包含所有提示内容，可适当发挥： 2. 语句通顺，意思连贯，书写工整； 3. 不少于80词。 (开头已给出，不计入总词数) Dear Jake, Summer vacation is coming soon.

He wrote this book according to his own experiences. The book is about a smart boy, Tom Sawyer, and his unusual childhood. Tom lives in a small town on the Mississippi River in America. He takes some unbelievable adventures with his friends. However, he doesn’t fear in the face of difficulties. My father gave the book to me on my 11th birthday. I have had it for two years since then. It is special to me because it’s my birthday gift from my dear father. What’s more, I learned a lot from Tom Sawyer. His story encourages me to try hard to achieve my dream and never give up. It also tells me that we should always be honest in life. I will keep the book forever. Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
