篇十一(2020苏州中考真题)
I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money.
In San Diego recently ＄325，000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments. The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging （摇动） their tails. Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out？
What about AIBO，a robotic pet, developed in Japan？In Japanese aibo means "buddy"．These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment. They've been used in movies and music videos. Universities have used them for educational purposes. However, in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money. Was it worth a lot of money？
Then there's NAO，a robot which has been developed by a French company. Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans. It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality. It can tell children a story, help in the classroom or the home, or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with. A fully developed one costs ＄16，000．Is that value for money？Who can afford it anyway？
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven't thought of any.
34. What does the underlined word "companion" in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A. 公司 B. 机构 C. 对手 D. 伙伴
35. What is the true fact about the robots mentioned
A. The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research.
B. AIBO wasn't made any more because it only provided entertainment.
C. A fully developed NAO may tell kids stories in different languages.
D. All the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost.
36. What does the writer think of developing robots
A. It can help bring people a lot of fun.
B. It has advantages in many ways.
C. It may be useful but costs too much.
D. It is worth a great deal of money.
篇十二(2020苏州中考真题)
"This is John," said Mr Turner. The boy standing next to him was tall, with a friendly face. I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs (大拇指） up. That meant they were going to invite him to join the cool group. They smiled at him and he smiled back.
Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them. I was sure he wouldn't choose me. I wasn't one of the cool kids.
"Hyun, I want you to be John's buddy this term," said Mr Turner. Me I couldn't believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction. Adam and Chen even looked unhappy.
John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me. He smiled at me."Hello," he said in a confident voice.
"Hello,"I replied, not looking at him.
All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me, but John didn't seem to notice.
Finally the bell rang for a break. I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew that Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John, and that John would decide that he'd rather be buddies with them.
Sure enough, as soon as we got outside, Adam and Chen swaggered (大摇大摆地走） up to us.
"Mr Turner says you're a good basketball player, John,"said Adam. "How would you like to play with us at lunch break Hyun doesn't know anything about basketball."
"No thanks," said John."I'd rather play chess with Hyun, if he doesn't mind. Mr Turner says he's an excellent player."
I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground. I remembered the saying we learnt in class about not judging （判断） a book by its cover. I completely misjudged John.
37. The underlined "him" in Paragraph 1 refers to ______ .
A. Adam B. Mr Turner C. Chen D. John
38. The sentence "I was walking on air…" in the last paragraph shows that the writer felt ______ .
A. happy B. nervous C. calm D. lonely
39. What can we learn from the story
A. Adam and Chen were not only cool but also friendly.
B. Hyun realized appearance didn't always tell the truth.
C. John didn't want to make friends with Hyun at first.
D. Hyun was a cool kid and good at playing basketball.
