What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition(眼睛识别)programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.
Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprints(指纹). But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of the people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
26. Where has the programme for remembering eyes been tested
A. Banks and factories. B. Banks and shops.
C. Schools and computers. D. Schools and shops.
27. How does the eye-recognition programme work
A. You look at the machine and type a number.
B. You need to speak and then look.
C. The machine looks at your face.
D. You look at the machine.
28. Which recognition technology is already in use
A. Remembering eyes or smells.
B. Remembering fingerprints or voices.
C. Remembering faces or voices.
D. Remembering hands or faces.
29. What problem could there be with the eye-recognition programme
A. Some eyes are the same.
B. Eyes can change.
C. It is not always correct.
D. Eyes can get dirty.
30.What is the advantage of the eye-recognition programme
A. You needn't remember a number.
B. You needn't take money with you.
C. You don't need to look at the machine.
D. People think it' s interesting.

Imagine using your coat to look through the internet, send and receive messages, and even read a map. Yes, you read that correctly—your coat.
It may sound silly, but it’s something scientists are working on. Researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display （显示屏）.
Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make “digital cloth”. After testing different combinations, they chose two materials that worked: a silver-plated yarn （镀银纱）that can light up and a kind of thread （纺线）that conducts （传导）electricity.
The results have been admirable. It’s not only wearable and foldable, but also washable. After being put through 100 wash-and-dry cycles in a washing machine and folded 10, 000 times, the cloth remained almost unchanged.
Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while they drive around. It could also help people communicate better if they have language barriers （障碍）or disabilities.
In one test, Peng’s team collected brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or meditating. The waves were then translated into messages like “anxious” or “relaxed” and shown on the cloth. This could help deaf-mute （聋哑的） people “talk” to each other in the future.
“We hope that new materials will shape next-generation electronic devices by changing the way we interact with them, ”said Peng.
31. The researchers have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a ________.

A. 争吵 B. 打架 C. 冥想 D. 讨论
35. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE
A. The new cloth remained unchanged after it is washed or folded.
B. New materials may shape next-generation electronic devices.
C. The new cloth could help people who have language barriers or disabilities communicate better.
D. The “fueling” shown on the cloth couldn’t help deaf-mute people “talk” to each other.

What’s going to happen in the future Will robots control our planet Will computers become smarter than us Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Bionic（仿生的）Eyes
They are no longer something, only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly—by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense sight, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be the next.
Self-driving Cars
Unlike a human driver a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
36. Which of the following payments is not mentioned in this passage
A. Cash B. Wechat Pay C. Alipay D. Credit card
37. Bionic eyes send information to the________.
A. mind B. camera C. computer D. heart
38. From the report, we can learn some information about________.
A. industry and farming B. traffic and journey
C. science and technology D. culture and art
39. The passage tells us that________.
A. bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films
B. the blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future
C. self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside
D. there will be no accidents at all if self-driving cars are used
40. We can infer（推断）that________ from the passage.
A. there would be a number of self-driving cars on the road
B. robots would control the world
C. the blind could use glasses to see things around
D. we would live a hard life with digital money
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39 B 40. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是科学家认为10—30年后最有可能发生的几件事情：盲人会有仿生眼；数字货币；无人驾驶车。
36.细节理解题。根据“We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it.”可知，这里提到了现金，微信支付，支付宝支付，没有提到信用卡支付，故选D。
37.细节理解题。根据“but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind.”可知，仿生眼可以使用相机“看到”环境，并向大脑发送信息。故选A。
38.细节理解题。综合全文的“仿生眼”“数字货币”“无人驾驶车”可知，这些都和科学技术有关，故选C。
39.推理判断题。根据“A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.”（拥有清晰图像的仿生眼可能会在几年内问世）可推断，佩戴仿生眼的盲人将来可能看得更清楚，故选B。
40.推理判断题。根据“ In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.”（在未来，无人驾驶汽车将被广泛接受）可推断，路上将会有很多无人驾驶的汽车，故选A。

In Japan, a robot is going to enter classrooms to help teachers. Last week the Japanese company Honda Motor Co. showed the public its robot at a Tokyo museum. The robot's name is Asimo. Students will see Asimo in science classes and learn the wonders of science.
Asimo is 130 centimeters tall with a round head. It can jog, walk up stairs and wave. It can also avoid things on its way and have simple talks with you. Asimo is an experienced worker for humans. It has worked as a guide in showrooms. But this will be the first time it works as a teaching assistant in classrooms and in formal teaching!
How will Asimo help in class A teacher explained the way Asimo worked to students in last week's show. Asimo has sensors(感应器)inside its body to keep its balance.
The smart Asimo tilted(倾斜)its body when it stood on a shaking platform(平台). Asimo kept its balance. But a wooden person beside Asimo fell(See the above picture).
When you walk, you pass your weight from the heel to the toe. The Japanese teacher explained this with Asimo at the museum. He moved the robot in slow move. Asimo made learning science more interesting for students!
Asimo will soon help teach thousands of primary students and junior high schools in two Japanese cities. Hopefully, robot teachers will arrive in our classrooms in China one day.

三、 阅读理解（分2节，共45分）
第一节，阅读选择（40分）
A
What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.
21. What is the writer trying to do in this passage
A. Describe what a pen looks like. B. Introduce the history of the pen.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition(眼睛识别)programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.
Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprints(指纹). But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of the people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
26. Where has the programme for remembering eyes been tested
A. Banks and factories. B. Banks and shops.
C. Schools and computers. D. Schools and shops.
27. How does the eye-recognition programme work
A. You look at the machine and type a number.
B. You need to speak and then look.
C. The machine looks at your face.
D. You look at the machine.
28. Which recognition technology is already in use
A. Remembering eyes or smells.
B. Remembering fingerprints or voices.
C. Remembering faces or voices.
D. Remembering hands or faces.
29. What problem could there be with the eye-recognition programme
A. Some eyes are the same.
B. Eyes can change.
C. It is not always correct.
D. Eyes can get dirty.
30.What is the advantage of the eye-recognition programme
A. You needn't remember a number.
B. You needn't take money with you.
C. You don't need to look at the machine.
D. People think it' s interesting.
C
Imagine using your coat to look through the internet, send and receive messages, and even read a map. Yes, you read that correctly—your coat.
It may sound silly, but it’s something scientists are working on. Researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display （显示屏）.
Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make “digital cloth”. After testing different combinations, they chose two materials that worked: a silver-plated yarn （镀银纱）that can light up and a kind of thread （纺线）that conducts （传导）electricity.
The results have been admirable. It’s not only wearable and foldable, but also washable. After being put through 100 wash-and-dry cycles in a washing machine and folded 10, 000 times, the cloth remained almost unchanged.
Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while they drive around. It could also help people communicate better if they have language barriers （障碍）or disabilities.
In one test, Peng’s team collected brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or meditating. The waves were then translated into messages like “anxious” or “relaxed” and shown on the cloth. This could help deaf-mute （聋哑的） people “talk” to each other in the future.
“We hope that new materials will shape next-generation electronic devices by changing the way we interact with them, ”said Peng.
31. The researchers have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a ________.
A. digital camera B. digital display
C. digital method D. digital communication
32. A silver-plated yam and a kind of ________ were chosen to make “digital cloth”.
A. gold B. metal C. steel D. thread
33. The new cloth can allow a driver ________ on their arm when they drive around.
A. to read a GPS map B. to print a GPS map
C. to make a GPS map D. to draw a GPS map
34. The underlined word “meditating” in Paragraph 6 means ________ in Chinese.
A. 争吵 B. 打架 C. 冥想 D. 讨论
35. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE
A. The new cloth remained unchanged after it is washed or folded.
B. New materials may shape next-generation electronic devices.
C. The new cloth could help people who have language barriers or disabilities communicate better.
D. The “fueling” shown on the cloth couldn’t help deaf-mute people “talk” to each other.
D
What’s going to happen in the future Will robots control our planet Will computers become smarter than us Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Bionic（仿生的）Eyes
They are no longer something, only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly—by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense sight, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be the next.
Self-driving Cars
Unlike a human driver a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
36. Which of the following payments is not mentioned in this passage
A. Cash B. Wechat Pay C. Alipay D. Credit card
37. Bionic eyes send information to the________.
A. mind B. camera C. computer D. heart
38. From the report, we can learn some information about________.
A. industry and farming B. traffic and journey
C. science and technology D. culture and art
39. The passage tells us that________.
A. bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films
B. the blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future
C. self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside
D. there will be no accidents at all if self-driving cars are used
40. We can infer（推断）that________ from the passage.
A. there would be a number of self-driving cars on the road
B. robots would control the world
C. the blind could use glasses to see things around
D. we would live a hard life with digital money
