He looks like a handsome young man. He wears a pair of glasses and a light blue shirt. He can speak Chinese, make different expressions (表情), and even run. He once won third place in a robot race. The University of Shanghai for Science and Technology built him. This September, the robot will begin a four-year PhD program. He will study Chinese opera and learn how to act and write plays. He will also learn to design sets (布景) for the stage. His teacher, Professor Yang, said that Xueba 01 would work with other students and write a final paper. Some people are excited about the new robot; others aren’t sure if a robot can truly understand art. Xueba 01 made a joke about the question. He said, “If I fail, maybe I’ll become a museum piece.

C Tom comes to his teacher and asks him, “Sir, I have a question. How many friends should a person have—one or many?” “It is very easy,” the teacher answers. “Get me that red apple from the highest branch (树枝) of the tree.” Tom looks up and says, “It’s too high! I can’t reach it.” “Ask a friend. Maybe he can help,” the teacher suggests. Tom calls another student and stands on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” says Tom sadly after the first try. “Don’t you have more friends?” the teacher smiles. Tom asks more friends to come over. They stand on each other’s shoulders, trying to make a human pyramid (金字塔). But the apple is so high that they can’t go higher and the pyramid falls. Tom still can’t reach the apple after the second try. Then one of the friends goes home, brings a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picks the apple after the third try. After getting the apple, the teacher asks, “So, do you know how many friends a person needs?” “Yes, I do,” Tom says. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.” “Sounds good,” the teacher says. “You need as many friends as you can. More friends can give you more ideas. Among those ideas, there will be at least one idea that works!” 6. How does the teacher answer Tom’s question? A. By telling him a story about apples. B. By simply telling him the answer. C. By drawing an apple tree. D. By asking him to learn by doing. 7. How many times does Tom try to get the apple? A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D.

D Have you ever seen or used a saw, or ju in Chinese? Do you know who invented it? The inventor was Lu Ban. He was born in the state of Lu in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago. That is where Qufu lies in the east of Jining. Lu Ban was the greatest carpenter (木匠) in his time. Once the king asked him and his team to build a palace in a very short time. They would be punished if they missed the deadline (最后期限). They had only axes to cut the trees and prepare the wood for the palace, so the work went very slowly. One day Lu Ban rushed up the hill to see how things were going. Suddenly the sharp teeth of a leaf cut his hand. Then a bright idea came into his head. Soon he made a tool with teeth along the side of a long iron bar (条状物). With this tool, work became much faster, and they completed the work before the deadline. That is how the saw was invented. Lu Ban invented many other useful tools for carpenters and interesting toys for children. The Wooden Bird, for example, could stay in the air for three days! 9. What did the king ask Lu Ban and his team to do? A. Build a palace quickly. B. Use only axes. C. Cut down the trees. D. Prepare the wood. 10. The underlined word “axes” means “________” in Chinese. A. 锤子 B. 刻刀 C. 斧子 D. 卷尺 11. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. How Lu Ban's hand was hurt. B. Why Lu Ban invented the saw. C. How Lu Ban invented the saw. D. How the palace was completed. 第二节 任务型阅读与表达(共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分) 阅读下面材料，从所给的四个选项中选出正确选项 (其中一项是多余选项)，将其序号填入第1-3小题，并回答第4小题。 Do you get nervous when you talk to someone?
