三、阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
(A)
A lot of children feel uncomfortable about things they see when they are sick and taken to hospital. For example, the bag with medicine or blood may make them mad.
Things were changed by a girl. Once, an American girl hated these bags. She solved this problem in a simple and cheerful way. She tied the medicine bag to a teddy bear. The invention is named Medi Teddy. It's an animal toy which can hide the front of the medicine bag, and the child can just look at the smiling face of a toy instead.
Ella is a 12- year- old girl who got ill at the age of 7. Because of her illness, she has to receive a blood infusion(输血) every eight weeks in the hospital.“ When I had my first infusion, I was so afraid and surprised by the look of the medical equipment and the medicine bags. As I saw many other children experiencing the same feelings, I started to be interested in creating a friendlier experience for sick children, so I created Medi Teddy,” Ella said.
Parents enjoyed the idea and encouraged Ella and her mother to create more teddy bears. Thanks to many people's help, Ella and her mother have made a lot of teddy bears and sent them to the children who need them.
“ Ella described to me how she wanted Medi Teddy to look and I drew it,” Ella’s mum said.“ We then sent the drawing to the factory which made our first bear out of it. Of course, the design has changed a lot since then, but it's fun to look back at where we started. I'm happy that Ella can help other children.”
( )26. What is the background of Ella's experience
A. Many children are getting sick easily.
B. Many children like looking at teddy bears.
C. Many children are afraid of the bags of blood or medicine.
D. Many children are willing to solve the problems of the fear.
( )27. What does the writer mainly want to tell in Paragraph 3
A. When Ella got the new idea.
B. How Ella felt at the hospital.
C. Why Ella created Medi Teddy.
D. Who helped Ella create Medi Teddy.
( )28. Which can be the best title of the passage
A. A sick child and her mother.
B. A new invention from a child.
C. I don't feel afraid any more.
D. A sick child Ella and Medi Teddy.

Computers and the Internet offer people new choices about spending time.
Many people may not have freedom to share enough time with some friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about.
Email makes it easy for me to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't shorter than they were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a useful tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps, and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With email, you just write one note about your experience, and send it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply when they are free, and you can read what they have to say when you have time.
Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't take the place of any of the old ways.
( )29. With computers and the Internet, people can have new ideas about .
A. where to go traveling B. what to do at weekends
C. how to spend the time D. when to finish their work
( )30. In Paragraph 3, the writer expresses his ideas about email by .
A. telling a story B. sharing his experience
C. listing some facts D. looking up information
( )31. Which of the following sentences can't show the attitude of the writer towards computers
A. Emails make it easy for people to work at home.
B. Computers make people spend less time working.
C. The Internet makes it easy to share thoughts with friends.
D. People can write emails about their experience to friends.
( )32. We can probably read this article from a .
A. magazine B. guidebook C. dictionary D. novel

Can a piece of paper be changed into a fine work of art If you have the chance to enjoy Liang Chunlan's paper- cuts, you will surely be impressed(印象深刻) by her skills.
Liang Chunlan, 56, a native of Dongguo, a village in Fushan County, is a member of the Chinese Folk Literature and Art Association. Liang began to learn how to make paper- cuts when she was a little girl.“ Influenced by both my mother and grandmother, I developed such an interest during my early childhood,” says Liang.
She has been making paper- cuts for more than 30 years, during which time she has tried her best to improve her skills. She has won many prizes for her paper- cuts. By drawing inspiration from life and Fushan's traditional culture, Liang has created her own artistic style(艺术风格). Liang never draws patterns before she uses scissors to cut the paper. She has mixed different kinds of artistic elements(艺术元素) in the patterns of her paper- cuts and has created a number of metre- long paper- cuts.
In recent years, Liang has put in much time and energy to make it better known. She has provided training courses to teach the kids how to make paper- cuts. She has also spoken to university students in Australia and other countries to share information about both the craft(技艺) and Fushan's folk arts and customs(民间艺术与风俗).
Liang has written several books to help Chinese understand the beauty of the craft. Some art schools have used her works as teaching materials. One of her books, A Course on China's Paper- making Skills, introduces the skills used to create different styles of paper- cuts. She' ll continue to try her best to do something meaningful to spread our country's traditional art— paper- cuts.
( )33. It can be learnt from the passage that Liang Chunlan .

What's going to happen in the future Will robots control the earth Will computers become smarter than us
Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.
1. Digital money We used to pay with cash(现金) for everything we bought. Now when we take a bus or su b way or when we buy things online, money is spent but we haven't seen how it goes. In fact, we are already using one type of digital money. You have to agree that using a card is much easier than searching your pockets for money. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash with you. When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. It's reported that people in Sweden(瑞典) stopped using cash in every way last year, and the US might be next.
2. Bionic(仿生的) eye It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back— by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer see light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to“ see” the environment and send messages directly to the head. Though the bionic eye that has been made now only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A more powerful one could be just a few years away.
3. Self- driving cars Everything is going automatic(自动) these days— washing machines, ticket selling machines and even cars. They can do things themselves without people's operation or control.
Unlike a human driver, a self- driving car's attention won't be taken away by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even have some sleep while the car drives itself.
Many car companies are now planning self- driving cars. By 2040, most of the cars on the road will be driverless.
( )37. Blind people may have a chance to get their back by wearing bionic eyes.
A. money B. sight C. cars D. memory
( )38. In a self- driving car, .
A. the driver could have some sleep
B. the driver cannot make telephone calls
C. the driver's attention would be taken away
D. the driver must keep a safe distance from other cars
( )39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Robots will control the earth in 2050.
B. Computers become smarter than us in 2019.
C. Most of the cars will be self- driving by 2040.
D. People in Sweden will stop using cash in 2016.
( )40. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Thirty Years in the Future B. Money or Cars
C. More Help for the Blind D. Robots and Computers
