A
Are you a happy person most of the time Or do you easily get angry sometimes Everyone has a different temperament(脾气). It is usually be1ieved that both genes(基因) and environment may affect people’s temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish a questionnaire(问卷). The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like “My mood often changes for no reason” and “I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky”. These answers were then matched with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those born in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life.
“It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders (紊乱),” lead scientist Xenia Gonda told The Telegraph.
( )1.What probably can’t affect people’s temperaments according to Paragraph 1
A. Genes B. Ages C. Seasons D. Environment

( )4. What will the writer most probably write about on “ ”
A. How many kinds of moods thee are

Now, it seems that artificial intelligence (人工智能) is becoming more and more popular in our life, and it has greatly influenced the ways we live, work and play. 6
Recently, a scientist has invented a special robot that can be a table tennis coach. That means people can practice table tennis not only with humans but also with a robot.
7 It can study the movements of human players and the speeds of the ball. In this way, it can exactly judge (判断) the players’ skill levels. 8 If the players are just beginners, Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way, but if the players are better ones, the robot will play in a faster and more difficult way. What’s more, while playing, it encourages players to try their best with words like “Good job!” “Come on!” and so on. At the same time, it gives some good advice to improve their skills. 9
Science and technology is developing quickly these days. 10 “In the next 20 years, it will be possible that one robot teaches another to play table tennis or even invents another one!” Takuoya, the inventor of the robot, said.

四、短文填空。
One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice 1 / n'sa d/ the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after 2 . Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(挤) out at the mouth of the hole. With some 3 (effort), the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run 4 immediately. Instead, one chased(追逐) after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬) the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was 5 (try) to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a 6 /'s kl/ and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!”
A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband(丈夫) and 7 .” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.
A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed 8 (agree) another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a 9 / s tn/ relationship ”
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken 10 (early) all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not based on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
