阅读下面四篇语言材料,然后按要求完成各题。
AWith the development of technology, our city life is becoming more and more “smart”. Here are some great technologies that make our cities “smart”.Sensors(传感器)Sensors are like eyes in every corner of the city. They can see and feel things by collecting data (数据) on people and the environment.Internet of things (万物物联)It is like the blood vessels (血管) of a city, connecting everything to the Internet. Imagine when you are nearly home, and your smart watch can tell your home to turn on the lights. This can become a reality with the Internet of things.5G5G provides high- speed wireless Internet. It is what makes the Internet of things possible. The speed of 5G can be up to 10 GB per second. With such a speed, we can download a film in just a few seconds.Artificial intelligence (AI)AI can also help to deal with data. More importantly, it learns from the data and becomes a smart helper for us. AI can work as a delivery person, a tour guide, or even help design cars and make people’s work safer.Online mapsBaidu Map and Gao de Map are two typical online maps. They help people find their way from one place to another. Some online maps can update real-time data on cities. With their help, people can find out the busiest road and plan the best route when traveling.16.How many technologies are mentioned in the passage?A.3B.4C.5D.617.Which technology makes a difference to Internet of things?A.Sensors.B.5G.C.AI.D.Online maps.18.What can AI be used for according to the passage?①Dealing with data. ②Collecting data. ③Working as a tour guide.④Helping design cars. ⑤Making people healthier.A.①②⑤B.②③④C.①③④D.③④⑤19.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A.Sensors can see and feel things like eyes.B.You can use your smart watch to turn on your light s out of your home one day.C.We can download a film in a few seconds with 5G.D.People can only use Baidu Map to avoid heavy traffic.20.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce some technologies.B.To ask people to buy cars.C.To show what the city life is like.D.To tell people how to use technologies.B16-year-old Yang Jun’ao, a student from No.1 Middle School in Nanxian County, Hunan Province, invented a robot to help harvest lotus roots (采藕).“I got the idea when I saw my grandmother, in her 70s, working hard to harvest lotus roots under the hot sun,” Yang said. Sometimes, his grandmother would badly hurt her fingers while using harvesting tools.To make things easier for his grandmother, he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her.With the help of his teacher, Hong Wei, Yang spent almost a year building a model of the robot. The robot can move by itself in the muddy (泥泞的) fields where lotus roots grow. It uses special technology to identify ripe roots by looking at the color of the lotus leaves. Then, its arm carefully cuts the roots without harming them.While creating the robot, Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model, putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting. “The first time I used a hot glue gun, my hands were shaking,” Yang laughed. At first, he planned to use rotating blades (旋转叶片) for harvesting lotus roots. But it was hard to find them, so he used more common blades instead.When Yang showed the robot to his grandmother, she was happy and gave helpful suggestions for improvement. She suggested using a voice player to help locate the robot in thick lotus leaves. “My grandmother’s suggestion reminded me that any invention must be practical to be truly valuable.” said Yang.Although Yang still needs to make improvements, like finding cheaper materials, his teacher Hong spokehighly of Yang’s creative thinking and resolution to help his hometown.21.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.The robot.B.The muddy field.C.The ripe root.D.The lotus leaf.22.How many challenges did Yang meet during the invention process?A.5.B.4.C.3.D.2.23.Put the following information into correct order according to the passage?a. Yang had the idea to invent a machine to make harvesting easier for his grandmother.b. Yang’s grandmother sometimes would hurt herself while using harvesting tools.c. Yang’s grandmother offered suggestions to improve the machine.d. Yang spent nearly a year building a model of the machine.e. Yang kept on improving the machine better.A.a-b-d-c-e B.a-b-e-c-d C.b-a-d-c-e D.b-a-c-d-e24.What is Yang Jun’ao like according to the passage?A.Happy, helpful and honest.B.Polite, talented and humorous.C.Humorous, clever and friendly.D.Hard-working, caring and creative.25.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.A Young Inventor’s Journey to Making a Useful MachineB.The Harvesting Robot: A Teen’s Invention for FarmingC.A Teen’s Invention to Help His Grandmother’s WorkD.Growing New Ideas: A Student’s Gift to His TownCPlastic (塑料) is everywhere. It has been found at the bottom of the ocean. It’s been found at the top of Mount Qomolangma. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹).Hermit crabs are small and they have soft bodies. To protect themselves, they usually wear seashells (贝壳). They find shells left behind by dead sea snails.But according to a study, at least 386 hermit crabs are wearing rubbish now. There are 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, and 10 species of them are wearing rubbish now. And nearly 9 out of 10 of these crabs are wearing plastic. The others are wearing glass or metal (金属).Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are now choosing rubbish instead of snail shells. But they have some ideas. It’s possible that hermit crabs can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs choose plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they just like the bright colors.Scientists agree that plastic pollution is bad for wildlife and the environment. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger.“It’s really an amazing example of the beauty of adaptation (适应),”an expert says.“ What are the long-term result of these adaptations? We don’t know.”26.What’s the writer’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1?A.To give examples.B.To raise a question.C.To lead into the topic.D.To explain a problem.27.What do hermit crabs normally wear to protect themselves?A.Plastic.B.Glass.C.Metal.D.Seashells.28.Which could be one of the reasons why crabs wear rubbish?A.The rubbish is colorful.B.The rubbish is heavy for protection.C.The rubbish is easy to find.D.The shells are enough for the crabs.29.Which of the following is true about hermit crabs?A.They have their own shells.B.They are in great danger because of the plastic pollution.C.They like wearing glass more than plastic.D.They are very smart to adapt to the environmental changes.30.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Protecting crabs. B.Plastic pollution. C.Creative crabs.D.Crabs in danger.D阅读下面短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I pulled out my old winter coat for another year's use. It remained in pretty good 16 after so many winters’ wear although it looked dirty.I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually 17 it to my daughter. A few weeks later, she 18 me with a brand-new coat. What a sweet, loving girl!I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though,when I opened my closet, something 19 me. It seemed a shame that my still good, old coat should just sit there keeping no one 20 during the cold days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity. I knew that there someone who couldn't afford a coat might get mine. I 21 it down and walked out the door. As I did so, I saw a man in only a thin jacket walking in. I couldn't help but wonder if he would be the new owner of my old coat. With a smile,I went home with a warm heart.My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon but I think I will 22 a while. I don't really need a new one and maybe I can find a few more things to give to the charity instead. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said:“ 23 is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.”Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants is by sharing and giving of ourselves.

Here's why they are often a calming, dark shade of blue.Blue is calming. The idea is to make airplanes feel more like home with relaxing colors and designs that help people feel calm and relaxed. People connect certain colors with certain feelings.Blue is a soothing color that suggests peace, calm, and relaxation.It physically feels cooler. Blue can actually make you feel cooler. In a study reported by Popular Science, 48 percent of participants(参与者) thought soda served in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching than soda served in glasses of other colors. This is probably because they associated blue with cold.Blue feels professional. Blue can lower your heart rate, improve your mental clarity(清晰度),and inspire creativity, according to a website called Color Psychology(心理学)exploring the meanings of various colors. It also says blue instills confidence and trust, which most airlines could make use of.It's a universally well-liked color. It is hard to find someone who dislikes the color blue. It is a universal color widely welcome d by the public. This is also why many brands(品牌) choose to have blue logos. People around the world associate the color with positive things, such as clean water and blue skies, so they tend to like it. In many different cultures and across all ages, blue is the world's most popular color.Blue can also be practical. The right shade hides marks well. Imagine how many people sit on airplane seats every day. And how many crumbs(食物碎屑), drinks, and other things get spilled on them? Dark colors are better at hiding marks. Those dark blue seats will look new er and cleaner for longer.28. How many reasons are mentioned in the article why airlines prefer blue seats?A. FourB. FiveC. SixD. Seven29.

To discuss the psychology behind how airplanes are designed.CI was sitting with my study group when I received an email from my landlord. “Your apartment has lost power.”This was my first spring in Montreal. I'm from Saskatoon – so no stranger to cold weather–but the damage(损坏) an ice storm could cause wasn't something I was used to.A dozen thoughts raced through my head. With no Wi-Fi or heat, how would I cook supper or finish my assignment for grad school?“You can come and stay with me.”My new friend Kanika’s voice cut through the noise of my thoughts. I hesitated(犹豫) because I didn't want to burden her with a house guest at such short notice. But she insisted(坚持). An hour later, I stood at her doorstep with my suitcase. Then, sitting with a warm bowl of soup,I watched in amazement as the friend I had met only six months ago quickly and generousl-y prepared her own room for me to use.As the power cut continued, this turned into a magical six days - marked by laughter and deep conversations. Our time together turned into a food adventure(冒险). One night, we made two different kinds of chickpea curry, the next we had spaghetti in butter chicken sauce and another night pizza and potato parathas. We'd head to bed with the intention of sleeping early, but ended up with one of us turning over and saying something to the other. Our night conversations continued into the morning, from what we wanted to do after our graduate studies to our favorite childhood cartoon characters.During my stay, never once did Kanika ask how much longer I was going to be at her place.Rather, she always assured me that I was welcome to stay for as long as I needed. When my power finally came back, we were both sad that our adventure together had ended,but grateful that we had made so many memories.Kanika's kindness showed me how much a neighborly gesture can mean to the person you help. It turned what I feared would be a stressful, lonely week into one of friendship and fond memories. And I'll remember that kindness when I see someone else in need.31. How did the writer feel after reading the landlord's email telling her the power cut?A. She decided to go out and look for a new apartment.B. She was used to the damage an ice storm could cause.C. She didn't mind the power cut and continued to study as usual.D. She felt worried about how she would cook and study without heat or Wi-Fi.32. What does the writer mean by saying“this turned into a magical six days”in Paragraph 3?A. The food the writer and Kanika made together tasted very good and magical.B. The writer and Kanika had six days' laughter and fun conversations in the dark.C. The six days turned into an unforgettable period for both the writer and Kanika.D. The writer and Kanika discovered new ways of cooking and enjoyed themselves.33. What did the writer and Kanika do at night during the six days?A. They argued about the power coming back or not.B. They had a great time chatting with each other.C. They planned to move into another place together.D. They discussed how long they could stay together.34. Which is the correct order of the following sentences?①The writer received an e-mail. ②They had so many memories.③They had night conversations. ④There was a power cut.A. ①④③②B. ①④②③C.④①③②D. ④①②③35. What can we learn from the writer's experience?A. It is exciting to have a life full of adventures.B. It is meaningful to have a simple act of kindness.C. It is joyful to share childhood memories with friends.D. It is important to be grateful to anyone who offers us help.DTitles like“taoli”and “kaimo”have rooted themselves deeply into Chinese history and culture. What do they refer to? Have you ever wondered what the stories behind these ideas are?Modesty and respectChinese people in the past or even sometimes today call their sons quanzi. They believe that dogs are humble animals. When Chinese parents use quanzi to refer to their sons, they are being modest. Of course, most parents do have high expectations for their children andwant them to be successful. However, they don't usually talk about this in front of others. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to how even rich Chinese people call their big houses hanshe, which means“my humble home”.Although people are modest about themselves, they compliment others a lot. They call their own sons quanzi, but others'sons linglang, which is a respectful way to say“your son”. Trees of characterIn Chinese, kaimo means“role model”. Both of these Chinese characters have a“木”on their left side. This means kai and mo might have been two kinds of trees in ancient China, although there are different opinions about this.According to Duan Chengshi, a botanist in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), there was a kind of tree called kai in southwestern China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius' tomb. The trunks of these trees were very straight. Some people thought they were like Confucius' character– straight and upright.Legend has it that the mo trees grew near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou, a statesman(政治家)of the Zhou Dynasty (11th century-256 BC). The color of the mo tree's leaves was said to be pure,making the tree a symbol of purity and integrity. Since the kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two respected people, kaimo was then used to refer to role models in general, according to SunYi, a scholar who lived during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Spreading seeds of educationThere is a Chinese id iom taoli mantianxia, referring to a teacher who has taught so many students that they spread across the country like peach and plum trees.The idiom comes from a story about Zizhi, an official who lived in the State of Wei during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). Zizhi was a knowledgeable person. He opened a private school and started to teach students. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and wise. He chose students without thinking about their wealth or social status. He often pointed at a peach and a plum tree in his yard when asking his students to work hard.“You should become a useful person to contribute to the society, just like when the peach and plum trees bloom and produce fruit,”he said,Keeping these words in their minds, many of Zizhi’s students went on to different places around the country, achieving great things along the way. They would plant peach and plum trees to show their respect for their teacher.Since then, “peach and plum trees” has been used to refer to students who have been successful in their post-study careers.36. The underlined word“compliment”has a similar meaning to .A. greetB. praiseC. completeD. understand37. According to the passage, what do the Kai and Mo trees stand for?A. Integrity and purity.B. Modesty and respect.C. The importance of education.D. The characters of Confucius and the Duke of Zhou.38. What kind of person did Zizhi wish his students to be?A. A kind and wise person.B. A knowledgeable person.C. A straight and upright person.D. A hard-working and useful person.39. We can probably read this passage from a magazine.A. sportsB. cultureC. scienceD. music40. The passage is mainly about .A. The history of ChinaB. Chinese education systemC. Traditional Chinese culture and valueD.

One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to 1 it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, 2 when he got home he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, 3 would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his field , his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. 4 he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But 5 sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died. Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a 6 place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer told him 7 he worried about angrily. “Yes,” said the friend after hearing the words, “but the 8 someone could have 9 the fruit.

It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!Get on a bicycly and ride around your neighborhood . You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit(受益)from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.Folding bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.Health Benefits of Bicycling:﹡Bicycling helps to prevent heart diseases.﹡Bicycling helps to control your weight. A 15-minute-bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off fivekilos of fat in a year.﹡Bicycling can improve your mood(心情).Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident.Bicycling is healthier than driving.( )1.From the passage , we know that bicycle is becoming very ______ .A.surprisingB.excitingC.expensiveD.popular( )2.When you are riding your bicycle around your neighborhood, you may ______ .A.pollute the environment aroundB.find something you didn’t noticeC.go everywhere and use a little oilD.get off your bike and begin to work( )3.If you travel with a folding bike , you can fold it and ______ .A.get out of the carB.take it onto a trainC.put it in your purseD.go on airline websites( )4.One of the benefits from bicycling is that ______ .A.you can fold the bicycleB.you will be friendly to othersC.you will be more relaxedD.you may get fatter and fatter( )5.Which is TRUE according to the passage?A.Bicycling is enjoyable exercise for peopleB.Driving cars is healthier than riding bikesC.Riding a bike pollutes your neighborhoodmon bikes are welcomed by all airlines( B )Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.Some people believe that if they are wealthy , they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people beliveve that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视)their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.Here are a few ways to help you to be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures , such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier life.The second secret of happiness is to be active . Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her students, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.Now maybe you know how to find happiness!( )6.The underlined word “wealthy” means “______” in the article.A.pleasedB.healthyC.excitedD.rich( )7.Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _______ .A.get money and something they can’t buy with moneyB.do what they want to do at any timeC.enjoy health which makes them work hardD.take an active part in all kinds of activities every day( )8.The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ______ .A.think about getting a good jobB.think of presents they don’t likeC.often spend time with close friendsD.often spend time on entering the college( )9.Many people find it happy to ______.A.remember the old days and troubleB.do some meaningful things for othersC.go shopping to buy some foodD.make much money and little success( )10.The passage mainly tells us ______ .A.how to find happinessB.how to save happinessC.to do something good for othersD.to value our beliefs or health( C )For hundreds of years , scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effedt on people’s emotions(情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions ofothers and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.Peole often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals(化学物质)which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains(大脑)and makes us feel happy. For exalmple, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies prduce less Vitain D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this speical chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial(人造的)lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can ge unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.( )11.Whcih of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor(因素)that affect one’s emotions?A.WeatherB.Actions of othersC.PersonalityD.Age( )12.Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?A.It is a kind of artificial chemicalB.It makes us worried by affecting our brainsC.It is needed by us all to keep fitD.It is in the sunlight.( )13.What can we infer from the passage?A.We feel good when we are in the bright cool weatherB.We will be happy when we are caught in the rainC.All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winterD.The more vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be( )14.In which of the following situations, people will be happier?A.On a hot dayB.On a rainy dayC.On a cloudy dayD.On a sunny day( )15.What may be the best title for this passage?A.Why Do We Feel Sad?B.The Weather Influences People’s EmotionsC.People Need More Vitamin DD.We Can Hardly Change the Weather( D)16.______ How about a pim-pam?17.______ Well, these were both earlier names for the game that has come to be known as table tennis or ping-pong ball all over the world . Maybe you often play it, but do you know how it was invented?18. ______ They also have to look at their surroundings. For example, if people like running, they need to find some way to continue their running when the weather makes it hard to be outdoors. People who like to play tennis also need to come up with a plan, for bad weather.19.______ When they were in unform, it would be very difficult to have a moving game of tennis. They came up with a gentle sport instead. They made cigar boxes into paddles(球拍). They took the corks(软木)from wine bottles and made them round. They set up a row of books across the center of a table to from a boundary(边界). Using this equipment, they batted the cork back and out across the books . They called their new game “table tennis”.The soldiers brought their new game back home to England with them. By 1890, several versions(版本)of the game had appeared. Two of these versions were known as “whiff whaff”and “gossima”. A game company, Parker Brothers,even put out a set of equipment and set up a quick game anywhere the players could play. 20.______阅读短文,从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空,使短文意思通顺、完整。
