A bright, round moon may come to your mind. With clear and cloudless skies in autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the best times to watch the moon. This year, it falls on September 25th. The moon has long been connected with people’s feelings. Many Chinese poets write about homesickness and the moon in their poems. One of the most famous poems comes from Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). 950 years ago, on a Mid-Autumn night, he missed his family very much. He wrote these famous words: “Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again; The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.” Even today, these words still show Chinese people’s wish to stay with their family on the festival. Interestingly, though people around the world see the same moon, different cultures have their own special stories about it. In Middle Eastern cultures, people compare the bright round moon to ladies. Ancient Romans called the moon “Luna”, after their goddess of the moon. They believed the moon had the power to influence people’s moods. This gave rise to the word “lunatic”, which means “crazy”. 21. When is the Mid-Autumn Festival this year? A. On September 15th. B. On September 25th. C. On October 25th. 22. Who wrote the underlined famous lines about the moon in the passage? A. A Roman moon goddess. B. A Middle Eastern poet. C. Su Shi from the Song Dynasty. 23.

By showing a problem, offering solutions. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Famous poems about the Mid-Autumn Festival. B. The meaning of the word “lunatic”. C. Different cultural stories about the moon. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以月亮的文化内涵为核心，先介绍中秋节的赏月传统、中国文化中月亮与思乡情感的关联及苏轼的经典咏月诗作，再拓展介绍中东、古罗马等不同文化里关于月亮的特色故事。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。文章第1段“This year, it falls on September 25th.”表明今年中秋节的日期是9月25日。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。文章第2段“One of the most famous poems comes from Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279).”表明文中划线的咏月名句的作者是宋代诗人苏轼。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。文章第3段“They believed the moon had the power to influence people’s moods.”表明古罗马人认为月亮有影响人情绪的力量。 【24题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第1段“The moon has long been connected with people’s feelings.”、第2段“One of the most famous poems comes from Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279).”、第3段“different cultures have their own special stories about it.”表明文章先引出月亮与人的情感相关这一话题，再以苏轼的咏月诗为例进行具体说明，最后介绍其他文化中的月亮故事，行文结构与选项A描述一致。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“月亮”展开，从中秋赏月讲到中国诗词中的月亮，再延伸到中东、古罗马等不同文化对月亮的独特解读与故事，核心是不同文化中有关月亮的故事。 B A carpenter (木匠) was good at building houses.

After hearing this, his boss asked him to help with one final job before he left the team. He asked him to build one last house. The carpenter agreed, but his heart wasn’t in it. He used cheap materials and rushed to finish the job. The building was very bad. When his boss saw the house, he said nothing. He paid the worker for building it. He then said, “I wanted to do something special for you to say thanks for your 10 years of hard work. So I’m giving you this house as a gift.” Surprised, the carpenter was silent. What a shame (真遗憾)!

A new robot is here to help! Recently, the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists in the US became popular online. In the videos, we can see the robot do lots of housework on its own. It can prepare dishes. It is also good at watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes. Sounds great? But another video from the researchers may let some people down. Mobile Aloha isn’t really good at doing housework all by itself. In fact, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation (情境) changes, it can’t work well without a human “teaching” it again. So it may break dishes, bump into things and even burn a pot. The research team said the robot can succeed in moving chairs 80 percent of the time. But for cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent. In short, it is far from perfect. AI robots are usually good at tasks like math and playing chess. But they face big challenges when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. Mobile Aloha is the same. The team said robots are not ready to take over the world. 31. Where is the robot Mobile Aloha made? A. France. B. America. C. Britain. 32. What can Mobile Aloha do according to Paragraph 2? A. It can repair broken dishes. B. It can do many kinds of housework. C. It can teach people to cook food. 33. What can we know from Paragraph 3? A. It works well when the environment changes. B. It can learn housework all by itself. C. It may make mistakes sometimes. 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the research team? A. The robot moves chairs successfully 80% of the time. B. The robot cooks dishes better than it moves chairs. C. The robot can do everything perfectly. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Good Ways to Do Housework B. A Housework Robot and Its Real Situation C. The Wonderful Future of AI 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国研发的机器人Mobile Aloha的家务能力及其实际表现存在的局限性，指出其尚不完美。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。第一段提到“Recently, the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists in the US became popular online.”，可知，该机器人是由美国科学家制造的，US即America。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。第二段表明“In the videos, we can see the...floor and washing clothes.”，可知，机器人能够完成多种类型的家务劳动。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。第三段指出“So it may break dishes, bump into things and even burn a pot.”，可知，机器人在工作过程中可能会出现打碎物品等失误。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。第三段说明“The research team said the robot can succeed in moving chairs 80 percent of the time.”，可知，研究团队表示机器人移动椅子的成功率为80%。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章既介绍了机器人能做的家务，也重点说明了它并不完美、需要人类指导的实际情况，“A Housework Robot and Its Real Situation”涵盖了文章的核心对象与主要内容，符合文章标题。 B卷 (共50分) 一、短文填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 从下面方框中选出10个单词，将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确通顺 (每词限用一次)。 although bore change especial freshly however share surprise they waste where window Chinese writer Wang Zengqi once wrote, “When I arrive in a new place ...

London was a busy city with horse-drawn carriages (马车). They often rushed into people, causing many accidents (意外). At the same time, there was a fashion rule in London—women in red showed that they were married (已婚的) and green for unmarried. ____46____ On December 10th, 1868, British mechanic (机械师) De Hart created the world’s first traffic light with only red and green. A policeman had to pull a belt to change the lights: red meant “stop”, and green meant “go”. ____47____ However, this traffic light broke after 23 days. The light was turned off, but people still kept the idea. In 1914, electric (用电的) traffic lights were first used in America. Red and green still did their jobs, then they were safer and easier to see. In 1927, a Chinese student named Hu Ruding was studying in the US. ____48____ “What if (倘若……会怎样) there’s a middle color to slow people down?” he thought. That’s how the yellow light was born, meaning “get ready to stop.” Around the same time, an American policeman named William Potts created the first three-color traffic lights for all directions. ____49____ These colors were not chosen by chance (偶然). Red is easy to see, like a fire alarm, so it means “danger—stop!”. ____50____ Green, like a forest, tells us “safe to go!”. Together, they form a common language that keeps safe every day. Great ideas come from everyday things. Whether traffic lights or something else, noticing and thinking “what if” can change the world! A. They made crossroads much safer. B. It caused more accidents and put people in danger. C. At first, it worked well and there were fewer accidents. D. He noticed drivers sometimes rushed when the light changed. E. Yellow is a warning, like a sign that says “be careful—slow down!”. F. This gave people the idea for using red and green as traffic signs later. 【答案】46. F 47. C 48. D 49. A 50.

Trying new things can make you feel afraid. “Everyone feels scared sometimes,” says Nana Owusu. She works for Anna Freud, a charity to help young people. “This is one way our brain keeps us safe. It notices things that may be hard and helps us prepare for them.” This happens when you start something new and you don’t know what will happen. And worrying is often your brain’s way to tell you something is hard or important. Owusu says worrying can sometimes be helpful. It pushes you to get ready. For example, you can pack your schoolbag the night before. But worries become a problem when they affect your daily life. “You may start to keep away from some things because they make you anxious. Maybe you no longer put up your hand in class.” Owusu says, “This will make your worry even stronger next time.” Luckily, your brain is able to beat these fears. “First, find out what you are worried about, and which part troubles you most,” Owusu says. Once you know your worry, it is easier to think of ways to help yourself. You can talk to a friend or an adult you trust for advice. “And you don’t need to beat your fear in one go,” she says. “Cut it into small steps.” For example, on your first school day, just try to walk through the school gate first. Then go to your first class. Next, have lunch. “Every time you face something worrying and find you can deal with it, you give your brain new messages: ‘It feels scary, but I can do it.’ Little by little, this makes the fear easier to control,” Owusu says.

Summer vacation is coming. It’s time to clear out all the things you don’t need anymore. Besides saving more space, it also clears your mind. Maybe you’ve been given new clothes, toys or books for some special reason and haven’t yet found a place to store them. When you spend time indoors taking things out to use or play with, your bedroom gets messy. “Clearing out the things you don’t want or use anymore makes you feel good. A messy environment can take your attention away from things you need to focus on,” said Dr. Roberts, a psychologist (心理学家). When your room is clean and tidy, you don’t need to spend ages searching for missing socks or schoolbooks. This frees time and space for the things you enjoy. Tidying up takes more time, energy and effort, but the results make you happy and relaxed, and help you sleep better. “Having a clean and tidy room clears my mind and makes me feel calmer,” says Harry, aged 13. “I like tidying up. At the same time, it can make places for my books and games, and help me to keep them in order and know where they are.” When you start tidying up, set easy tasks, such as cleaning one surface or drawer at a time! 56.

With clear and cloudless skies in autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the best times to watch the moon. This year, it falls on September 25th. The moon has long been connected with people’s feelings. Many Chinese poets write about homesickness and the moon in their poems. One of the most famous poems comes from Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). 950 years ago, on a Mid-Autumn night, he missed his family very much. He wrote these famous words: “Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again; The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.” Even today, these words still show Chinese people’s wish to stay with their family on the festival. Interestingly, though people around the world see the same moon, different cultures have their own special stories about it. In Middle Eastern cultures, people compare the bright round moon to ladies. Ancient Romans called the moon “Luna”, after their goddess of the moon. They believed the moon had the power to influence people’s moods. This gave rise to the word “lunatic”, which means “crazy”. 21. When is the Mid-Autumn Festival this year? A. On September 15th. B. On September 25th. C. On October 25th. 22. Who wrote the underlined famous lines about the moon in the passage? A. A Roman moon goddess. B. A Middle Eastern poet. C. Su Shi from the Song Dynasty. 23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Su Shi wrote the poem 850 years ago. B. Ancient Romans thought the moon could influence people’s moods. C. Middle Eastern people named the moon “Luna”. 24. How is the passage developed? A. By introducing a topic, giving an example and talking about other cultures. B. By telling stories in time order. C. By showing a problem, offering solutions. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Famous poems about the Mid-Autumn Festival. B. The meaning of the word “lunatic”. C. Different cultural stories about the moon. B A carpenter (木匠) was good at building houses. His boss was very nice, so he worked for him year after year. After working for the same company for 10 years, he finally got tired of it and decided to find a new job. After hearing this, his boss asked him to help with one final job before he left the team. He asked him to build one last house. The carpenter agreed, but his heart wasn’t in it. He used cheap materials and rushed to finish the job. The building was very bad. When his boss saw the house, he said nothing. He paid the worker for building it. He then said, “I wanted to do something special for you to say thanks for your 10 years of hard work. So I’m giving you this house as a gift.” Surprised, the carpenter was silent. What a shame (真遗憾)! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it very differently. He regretted (后悔) building his final house so badly. 26. Why did the carpenter decide to give up his job? A. Because his boss was unfriendly to him. B. Because he felt tired of the work and wanted to find a new job. C. Because he could make more money elsewhere. 27. What was the carpenter’s final job for the boss? A. To build one last house. B. To buy a thank-you gift. C. To teach workers to build houses. 28. What does the underlined word “rushed” mean in English? A. built something carefully with good materials B. did something quickly and carelessly C. finished the work on time 29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The carpenter was not good at building houses at all. B. The boss got angry because of the bad house. C. The boss gave the house to the carpenter as a gift. 30. What does the story mainly tell us? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. We should take every job seriously. C. Enjoy your day, come rain or shine. C Are you troubled (困扰) by housework? A new robot is here to help! Recently, the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists in the US became popular online. In the videos, we can see the robot do lots of housework on its own. It can prepare dishes. It is also good at watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes. Sounds great? But another video from the researchers may let some people down. Mobile Aloha isn’t really good at doing housework all by itself. In fact, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation (情境) changes, it can’t work well without a human “teaching” it again. So it may break dishes, bump into things and even burn a pot. The research team said the robot can succeed in moving chairs 80 percent of the time. But for cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent. In short, it is far from perfect. AI robots are usually good at tasks like math and playing chess. But they face big challenges when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. Mobile Aloha is the same. The team said robots are not ready to take over the world. 31. Where is the robot Mobile Aloha made? A. France. B. America. C. Britain. 32. What can Mobile Aloha do according to Paragraph 2? A. It can repair broken dishes. B. It can do many kinds of housework. C. It can teach people to cook food. 33. What can we know from Paragraph 3? A. It works well when the environment changes. B. It can learn housework all by itself. C. It may make mistakes sometimes. 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the research team? A. The robot moves chairs successfully 80% of the time. B. The robot cooks dishes better than it moves chairs. C. The robot can do everything perfectly. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Good Ways to Do Housework B. A Housework Robot and Its Real Situation C.

London was a busy city with horse-drawn carriages (马车). They often rushed into people, causing many accidents (意外). At the same time, there was a fashion rule in London—women in red showed that they were married (已婚的) and green for unmarried. ____46____ On December 10th, 1868, British mechanic (机械师) De Hart created the world’s first traffic light with only red and green. A policeman had to pull a belt to change the lights: red meant “stop”, and green meant “go”. ____47____ However, this traffic light broke after 23 days. The light was turned off, but people still kept the idea. In 1914, electric (用电的) traffic lights were first used in America. Red and green still did their jobs, then they were safer and easier to see. In 1927, a Chinese student named Hu Ruding was studying in the US. ____48____ “What if (倘若……会怎样) there’s a middle color to slow people down?” he thought. That’s how the yellow light was born, meaning “get ready to stop.” Around the same time, an American policeman named William Potts created the first three-color traffic lights for all directions. ____49____ These colors were not chosen by chance (偶然). Red is easy to see, like a fire alarm, so it means “danger—stop!”. ____50____ Green, like a forest, tells us “safe to go!”. Together, they form a common language that keeps safe every day. Great ideas come from everyday things. Whether traffic lights or something else, noticing and thinking “what if” can change the world! A. They made crossroads much safer. B. It caused more accidents and put people in danger. C. At first, it worked well and there were fewer accidents. D. He noticed drivers sometimes rushed when the light changed. E. Yellow is a warning, like a sign that says “be careful—slow down!”. F. This gave people the idea for using red and green as traffic signs later. 三、阅读表达 (共10小题；计20分) A.

Trying new things can make you feel afraid. “Everyone feels scared sometimes,” says Nana Owusu. She works for Anna Freud, a charity to help young people. “This is one way our brain keeps us safe. It notices things that may be hard and helps us prepare for them.” This happens when you start something new and you don’t know what will happen. And worrying is often your brain’s way to tell you something is hard or important. Owusu says worrying can sometimes be helpful. It pushes you to get ready. For example, you can pack your schoolbag the night before. But worries become a problem when they affect your daily life. “You may start to keep away from some things because they make you anxious. Maybe you no longer put up your hand in class.” Owusu says, “This will make your worry even stronger next time.” Luckily, your brain is able to beat these fears. “First, find out what you are worried about, and which part troubles you most,” Owusu says. Once you know your worry, it is easier to think of ways to help yourself. You can talk to a friend or an adult you trust for advice. “And you don’t need to beat your fear in one go,” she says. “Cut it into small steps.” For example, on your first school day, just try to walk through the school gate first. Then go to your first class. Next, have lunch. “Every time you face something worrying and find you can deal with it, you give your brain new messages: ‘It feels scary, but I can do it.’ Little by little, this makes the fear easier to control,” Owusu says. Facing Fears about ____51____ Fact ● It’s common to feel nervous when we meet something new. Reason for worries ● Our brain tries to ____52____ and tell us something difficult or important. Influences (影响) of fears ● Sometimes it helps us to ____53____ for the coming things like packing a school bag the night before. ● Sometimes it causes problems such as ____54____ us from putting our hand up in class. ____55____ to face fears ● Work out what your worries are and ask a trusted friend for ideas. ● Try to beat the big fear step by step.
