We sometimes feel lonely when there’s nobody with us.How do you spend your time when you feel lonely Li Bai, Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, and the UK poet William Wordsworth described and dealt with loneliness in different ways.
Drinking Alone under the Moon by Li Bai Among the flowers, from a pot of wine I drink without a companion of mine. I raise my cup to invite the Moon who blends Her light with my Shadow and we are three ________. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.
Word bank: shadow (影子) wander (漫游) float (漂浮) daffodils (水仙花) vacant (茫然的) pensive (沉思的) flash (闪耀) bliss (乐园)

Long long ago, there was a piece of wood.It was not an expensive piece of wood.Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick legs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm.
I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter (木匠).Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry.
As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy.Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself, “This has come in time.I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say, “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise!
He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street—and still no one!
“Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head.“There may be something wrong with my ears.”
“Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood.
“Oh, oh!You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice.
Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin (下巴).“Where did that voice come from This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other.Yet—might someone be hidden in it If so, the worse for him.I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it.He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling.
He listened for the tiny voice to cry.He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes—nothing.“Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair.“Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on.
“Stop it! Oh, stop it!You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot.When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor.
29.How many times did the piece of wood talk

①What would you like for lunch Maybe, a battery (电池) Although it sounds unusual, this has already been realized by scientists as they develop electronic (电子的) things you can eat.
②Robofood, a program led by Dario Floreano from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Switzerland, has been the trailblazer.Together with scientists from Wageningen University, the Netherlands, it has made a new drone (无人机).Half of the parts inside can be eaten! The program plans to create robots that can be eaten and foods that act like robots by mixing food science and robots in a new way.
③According to the scientists, the wings of the drone were made from rice cakes glued together using oil and chocolate.This drone can find missing people or animals in sudden serious and dangerous situations, and carry important food or medicine to them.Parts of the drone can be eaten since they meet food safety standards set up by the United Nations for emergencies.
④However, the main challenge is finding stronger edible (可食用的) materials for the drone’s wings to prepare for bad weather and high temperatures—of course, the chocolate may melt (融化) easily.
⑤Robofood also developed an edible sensor to help watch stomach sickness.It’s eaten by the patient to check the conditions inside.Unlike other sensors out there today, it’s designed to be easily digested (消化), lowering the risk of leaving any remains inside the body.
⑥The invention of Robofood also helps with environmental protection.The world’s first fully edible batteries can help with the growing problem of throwing away used batteries.The battery’s two ends are made of vitamin B2 and another natural element that can be found in many fruits including apples.So the new battery can be more friendly for nature.
33.Which of the following about Robofood’s drone is true
A.The materials of the drone are totally edible.
B.The materials of the drone aren’t strong enough.
C.The drone can be used in any dangerous situation.
D.The drone is made of rice cakes, oil and chocolate.
34.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A.Robofood’s sensors can stay in the human body longer.
B.Robofood’s sensors can watch the stomach more carefully.
C.Robofood’s batteries are expected to take the place of some fruit.
D.Robofood’s batteries are the first batteries that can be totally eaten.
35.Which of the following can show the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
36.What can be the best title of the passage
A.Smart Drones B.Edible Electronics
C.Robots and Foods D.Nature-friendly Batteries
D
Since I grew up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I’ve enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork—and chopsticks!
Mum has sweet memories of the food from her hometown in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes.Because of this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother.He once told me he was surprised by what he saw on the table when he first visited my mother’s parents in China.He was even shocked (震惊的) at their wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal.Even today, he still does not easily take (忍受) to eating things like chicken feet.
But I enjoy that sort of food myself.Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears ” “No,” the butcher (屠夫) said, pulling at his own cars, “just these ordinary ones.” He must have thought I was joking.
Dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter.Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast.We all love roast beef and vegetables, but Mum says we’d better not cat too much roast food as it may make us suffer from heat inside our bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.
I’ll never forget my visit to China.Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food, and I did! I loved everything.But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a terrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe.“You needn’t try it if you don’t want to,” Mum said, but I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t that bad.It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate.Maybe I’ll fall in love with stinky tofu someday.
People say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, but I feel at home with different food from both China and Britain.To me, there’s nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!
37.What do you know about the writer’s taste for food
A.He prefers British food to Chinese food.
B.He will never get used to Chinese oolong tea.
C.He enjoys British food as well as Chinese food.
D.He can deal with all Chinese food including stinky tofu.

A.Almost no people in England eat pigs’ ears.
B.The writer just wanted to play a trick on the butcher.
C.The butcher was more interested in pigs’ ears than others.
D.Pigs’ ears are popular in Britain, especially at their weddings.
39.What do you know about the writer’s father
A.He isn’t really interested in cooking.
B.He likes easily prepared Chinese food.
C.He always enjoys making meals with families.
D.He likes all kinds of Chinese food especially hot pot.
40.What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 6

B.Some food can be harmful to health.
C.People ought to try different foods.
D.People have different tastes for food.
信息还原(六选五)
Everyone likes a good laugh from time to time, and science supports that feeling.In fact, we start to laugh even before we start to speak.
41 .Think back to a time when the main meal was a four-legged animal running away from us, and we had to hunt it down to fill our stomachs.At the same time, there were also animals running towards us, hunting us down to feed themselves. 42 .So it makes sense that when the danger finally passed, early humans shared a laugh with one another as if to tell the group everything was OK and that there was no need to be anxious or threatened by what was happening around them.
43 .“Laughter can make it easier for couples to communicate and strong their relationships,” one researcher said.In addition, laughter is 30 times more prone to happen together with others than when one is alone.It’s contagious (有感染力的). 44 .
Laughter is like a pill in your medicine box to help you feel better.And it’s free. 45 .If you want to use the healing power of laughter, a funny movie might help—but it’s really the connections laughter builds with other people that count.

Liu Lingli was born in Hengyang, Hunan province, in 1973.Her first interaction with people with disability was with one of her neighbours, surnamed Wang.Liu was a child then.
One day in the winter, when Liu was playing in her house, Wang used sign language to communicate with her.But Liu couldn’t understand what she was trying to say.It was Wang’s husband who told Liu that she wanted to make her a scarf.
“Even as a child, I was moved by her kind gesture, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said.The incident left an unforgettable mark on Liu.At the age of 14, she decided to major in teaching hearing-impaired (听力受损的) students, and later enrolled in Nanjing Normal University of Special Education.After four years, she graduated with a secondary vocational (职业的) degree and became a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education, and taught Chinese language to first graders.
Although she was young at the time, she treated the students as her children, and practiced sign language in front of the mirror for one to two hours every day till she mastered it.With great care and patience, she also taught the students how to wash their face and clothes, and cut their nails, gradually becoming the “mother” of the students.
In 2005, at the age of 32, Liu gave birth to her own child.But the child, a boy, was diagnosed with congenital (先天性的) hearing impairment when he was seven months old.Concerned that she would need time to overcome the shock, Liu’s colleagues requested her to take a break from teaching and take her son to Changsha, capital of Hunan province, for treatment.But she refused to do so, partly because such treatments are a long-term process.
Instead, she began teaching a new class, because she didn’t want to leave the students alone, and decided to provide therapy for the child herself after work.Thanks to Liu’s tireless efforts, her son could make some sound after several months of training, and her students showed great improvement.
“Whenever they managed to say ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ for the first time, I felt it was the sweetest sound in the world,” Liu Lingli said.
