四、阅读理解
A
How did people tell the time before clocks were invented
At first, the ancient people looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky. They also knew when it was morning or evening.
Later, the Egyptians used sticks. These sticks measured (测量) time during the day. The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow (阴影). As the sun moved across the sky, the position (位置) of the shadow changed. This would let people tell what time it was.
Over time, the Chinese first used sundials instead of shadow sticks. The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it. As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers. Each number stands for an hour of the day. But sundials don't work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out.
Water clocks used water to measure time at night. Water dripped (滴落) slowly from one bowl into another. The level of the water in the bowls showed the time.
People also used sand-glasses. You may have seen one. Some games still use sand-glasses. The sand falls from the top of the sand-glasses to the bottom. It measures short amounts of the time. The more sand falls, the more time has passed. When the sand has finished falling, you have to turn the sand-glasses over.
26. At first, the ancient people told the time by looking at ________.
A. the stick B. the shadow C. the sun D. the moon
27. Which picture can be a "sundial"
A. B. C. D.
28. Sundials can be used to tell the time when it is ________.

A. Sticks measured time in Egypt day and night. B. Sundials were first used in ancient Egypt.

30. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Something about sundials. B. How to tell the time by looking at the sun.
C. How to tell the time in the past. D. Some inventions in China.

This 12-year-old Girl Built a Robot to Find Plastics in the Ocean
Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up.
Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year.
Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem; a remote-operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado. “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing. ”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked about future plans, she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions,” says Du.
Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.
“I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems,” says Du. “But I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet.”
56. What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach
57. How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem
58. What can Du’s ROV do
59. Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future
60. What made Du succeed in building her ROV
【答案】56. She noticed plastics.
57. At the age of 12. / When she was 12 years old.
58. It can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
59. Because she likes building things to help solve world problems.
60. Her good engineering sense to break down a problem, the engineering skills necessary to build it, her persistence(not giving up) and her parents' support.（另外答出the careful observation, the awareness of protecting the oceans也可酌情给分）
【解析】
【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲Anna Du十二岁时就制作了自己的遥控潜水器，她从小就对STEM感兴趣，长大后想成为一名工程师，帮助解决世界问题。
【56题详解】
根据第1段中“Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there.”可知Anna Du在海滩散步的时候注意到了塑料。故答案为：She noticed plastics.
【57题详解】
根据第2段中“Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research.”可知Du做了一点调查来解决这个问题的时候，她12岁了。故答案为：At the age of 12. / When she was 12 years old.
【58题详解】
根据第3段中“Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.”可知Du的ROV能够在水中移动，找到海底的塑料。故答案为：It can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
【59题详解】
根据最后一段中Du的话“I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems”可知她想要成为一名工程师是因为她喜欢制造东西来帮助解决世界问题。故答案为：Because she likes building things to help solve world problems.
【60题详解】
根据第5段中“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it”可知她在解决问题方面有良好工程悟性；根据第6段中“and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV”可知她学会了建造ROV所需的工程技术；根据第6段中“She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.”可知她不轻言放弃；根据倒数第2段中“Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).”可知Du的父母很支持她。这几点都是她成功制作ROV的重要因素。故答案为：Her good engineering sense to break down a problem, the engineering skills necessary to build it, her persistence(not giving up) and her parents' support.（另外答出the careful observation, the awareness of protecting the oceans也可酌情给分）
八、书面表达
61. 针对现在学生坐姿不正确，玩电脑、看电视时间过长的现状，你想发明一种特别的椅子来解决这些问题。假设下周你们学校的英语俱乐部将举行英语演讲比赛，主题为“I want to invent ...”。请你根据下面的要点提示用英语写一篇演讲稿为比赛作准备。
要点提示：
1. 材料是木头；
2. 座位与靠背安装有感应器(sensor)。没有坐直的时候，椅子会提醒学生；坐在椅子上超过一小时，椅子也会发出噪音。
要求：
1. 演讲稿需包括以上要点提示，也可适当增加内容；
2. 80词左右，演讲稿的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
I want to invent a chair
Hi, everyone. As we all know, many great inventions have brought great changes to our life. I think we students can also invent something.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That’s all. Thank you!
【答案】I want to invent a chair
Hi, everyone. As we all know, many great inventions have brought great changes to our life. I think we students can also invent something.
Today I'm glad to be here to talk about what I'd like to invent-a chair that's good for students' health. It will be made of wood. There will be two sensors in it-one on the seat, and the other on the back of the chair. When the student doesn't sit straight, the chair will remind him. If he sits on the chair for over one hour, it will make a noise. It won't stop until the student stands up and leaves.
That's all. Thank you!
【解析】
【详解】这是一篇主题为“I want to invent ...”的演讲稿。介绍自己想要发明一种特别的椅子。短文用第一人称形式，时态以一般将来时态为主。写作思路：考生需要首先审清主题，围绕主题展开作文，其次考生可根据所提供的要点提示去写作。文章必须包括要点中所给的信息，但不要逐句翻译，注意表达的条理性，用好连接词，可适当发挥使行文连贯，多种句式交叉使用来丰富文章的文采。高分句型之一There will be two sensors in it-one on the seat, and the other on the back of the chair.里面有两个传感器，一个放在座位上，另一个放在椅子的后面。这是there be 句型，表示某地有某物。高分句型之二If he sits on the chair for over one hour, it will make a noise.如果他在椅子上坐了一个多小时，就会发出响声。这是if引导的条件状语从句，主句是一般将来时，从句用的是一般现在时。
