As a kid in Milwaukee， Leonard Gigowski took the 6：30 bus every morning to get to St.Francis Minor Seminary， a Catholic high school that later became St.Thomas More High School.After some years in the Navy， Gigowski went on to become a butcher and a grocer.He never married — and he never forgot his life in St.Thomas More.Gigowski visited it regularly and sometimes would eat lunch with the students in the cafeteria.One time， he stood up and started singing the school cheer.His “kids”， as Gigowski called them， smiled and joined him.On his 90th birthday， in 2015， administrators （管理人员） arranged a surprise party for him.The kids sang “Happy Birthday”， and Gigowski led them in prayer.
Three months later came the news： Leonard Gigowski had passed away — and he’d left behind a $13 million scholarship fund for St.Thomas More.“I nearly fell off my chair，” Mary McIntosh， the school’s president， told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Gigowski may have been humble， but he led a very full life.He was a great ballroom dancer — he had a dance floor in the basement of his modest suburban home.He also loved pigeon racing.He had a coop （笼子） in his yard and kept detailed records on each of his birds.“He told me he loved being around God’s creatures and taking care of them，” says his friend Jeff Korpal.
But the school was his passion.Larry Haskin， Gigowski’s friend and the lawyer who helped him set up the Leonard Gigowski Catholic Education Foundation， says there was no doubt that Gigowski had saved his money with the intention of donating as much as he could to the students of St.Thomas More.“He wanted to have the greatest impact possible on future generations，” Haskin says.“He felt he owed his long life to his education and deep faith， and he wanted to pass it on，” Korpal adds.

The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival， or Dragon-Head-Raising Festival， falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year， and recognises the start of spring and farming.This year it falls on 11 March.
Longtaitou literally means “dragon raises its head”， symbolizing that the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep and the spring rains are to come.A well-known phrase goes， “Er yue er， long tai tou”， meaning “On the second day of the second lunar month， the dragon lifts his head.”
The festival celebrates ancient agrarian （土地的） Chinese culture， and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced， others persist.
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut.Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck， while others believe getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck.
Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die.Although today few pay attention to it， it was once a tradition to line up outside barber shops on the day of Longtaitou， having avoided haircuts for the preceding month.
People eat toufu balls in East China’s Fujian Province during the festival， and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business.Fried beans are the traditional festival fare for people in parts of Shandong Province.
Meanwhile other foods， like dumplings， spring rolls and popcorn， are named after dragon body parts to mark the day.Noodles are dragon’s beard （long xu）， dumplings are dragon’s ears （long er）， spring rolls are dragon’s scales （long lin）， and popcorn dragon seeds （long zi）.
People across the country celebrate Longtaitou Day with various activities.“Through these activities， we hope the children can get a deeper understanding of the cultural connotation （内涵） of traditional Chinese festivals，” said Jin Qingfen， a teacher from a kindergarten.“It will also help them enhance their sense of national pride and belonging.”

Chinese artificial intelligence pioneer SenseTime unveiled an AI interactive Go （围棋） version of its consumer product “SenseRobot”， bringing AI technologies and the Go game to more households.
Go， or weiqi in Chinese， is one of the earliest binary-based games and known for its complexity （复杂）.After the historical game between South Korean Go master Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo in 2016， AI has gradually become an important “assistant” for players to train and improve.
Featuring SenseTime’s advanced AI and robotic arm technology， the AI Go robot can practice and play games on a real board.Equipped with a large number of selected exercises and human-machine game training at 20 levels， the robot can meet the demands of both the amateur and the professional.It also enables connection to online Go platforms， where the user can play actual games with millions of players from across the world.
Compared with the SenseRobot’s xiangqi model launched last August， which plays Chinese chess， this new robot has seen many technical breakthroughs.Shen Hui， dean of the Innovative Engineering Institute of SenseTime， said it was much harder to develop the Go robot and the previous version has laid a solid foundation.
Shen highlighted the robotic arm.Using cutting-edge visual techniques， algorithms （算法） and the company’s originally designed arm， the robot can read the board and pick up small chess pieces precisely.Furthermore， the robot is able to reconstruct the scene of playing a real game， Shen said.
Nie Weiping， a Chinese Go master and the vice chairman of the Chinese Weiqi Association， tried the new robot and spoke highly of it.“Modern technology brings unprecedented challenges and opportunities，” Nie said.He also noted the SenseRobot will promote the development of Go culture and help the public feel the charm of the game.
“We hope SenseRobot can re-define the future of family robots，” said Xu Li， chairman and CEO of SenseTime.“It can not only bring new life experience for families， but can also inject new vitality（活力） into the Go game as our cultural treasure， and promote the diverse development of our traditional culture.”
32.What has made AI gradually become an important “assistant” for players？（ ）
A.The market demand. B.The players’ request.
C.A man-machine competition. D.A man-machine cooperation.
33.What can we learn about the AI Go robot？（ ）
A.It has two robotic arms. B.It is designed for beginners.
C.It allows users to play with real players. D.It isn’t so complicated as the xiangqi model.
34.What was Nie Weiping’s attitude towards the AI Go robot？（ ）
A.Curious. B.Worried.
C.Confused. D.Favourable.
35.What would be the best title for the text？（ ）
A.SenseTime Launches Go Robot Powered by AI
B.SenseTime Promotes Go Game to More Players
C.The AI Go Robot Has Made Technical Breakthroughs
D.The AI Go Robot Brings Challenges and Opportunities

Spelling was my favourite subject in fourth grade.Every week I memorised the new words， and by Friday I was prepared to take the spelling test.I usually got all the words right.My teacher， Mrs Casazza， usually wrote “Excellent！” on the top of my paper.
One day， Mrs Casazza announced to the class that we would have a spelling bee （拼字比赛） on Thursday.“Oh， no，” I thought.Last month when I had to stand in the front of the class and give a book report， my arms shook so badly that it was hard to read my paper.I was very conscious of the twenty-seven pairs of eyes on me and all I wanted to do was to run back to my seat.A spelling bee would be even worse.I wouldn’t have a paper to read from！
After lunch on Thursday， Mrs Casazza explained the rules.“Say the word， spell it， and then say it again，” she said.“Be careful not to repeat any letters.” One at a time， she pronounced a word for each student to spell.Two boys made mistakes right away and had to sit down.With sweaty hands， I waited for my turn.After the girl next to me correctly spelled her word， Mrs Casazza called my name and said，“Your word is ‘echo’.”
“Echo，” I started.Then my mind went blank.Everyone was looking at me， waiting for me to speak out the first letter.But I couldn’t think.My face got hot and I was unable to finish the word.Mrs Casazza had to let me sit down.Afterwards， Mrs Casazza said it worked so well that she decided to have a spelling bee every Thursday.
Afraid that I’d mess up again， I didn’t want to go to school the following Thursday.“What’s wrong？” my mother asked.I told her about the spelling bee and explained that I was nervous when they were all looking at me.“You’re a good speller and you do so well in your tests， so just believe in yourself，” Mum said.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
The encouragement from Mum gave me much confidence in myself.

The most wonderful experience I’ve ever had was a trip I took to China a few years ago. I really can’t describe it. We spent three weeks travelling around China. We visited Beijing， Shanghai， Xi’an and several other places. It really was the most unusual holiday I’ve ever had. You know， the further we travelled into the center of China， the more I liked it， meeting people who’d never seen foreign tourists before. Then we spent our last week in Hong Kong， which I think is very different from Beijing. It’s the noisiest and busiest place I’ve ever seen. We didn’t find Hong Kong very relaxing at all. And the other problem was the people on tour with us — they were so unfriendly. Anyway， the trip itself was interesting. I can’t wait to do it again！

第一节
As is known to all， China has more UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other country in the world.And we have celebrated China’s Cultural and Natural Heritage Day on the second Saturday of June since 2006.
Needless to say， the day was set up to raise people’s awareness of protecting our cultural and natural heritage across the country.
Then how should we celebrate the day？ First of all， some posters on protecting cultural and natural heritage should be put up in our school.Secondly， we can visit the museum in our city.Thirdly， it’s also a good idea to watch some documentaries and TV programs about Chinese culture on the Internet.

第二节
The encouragement from Mum gave me much confidence in myself.Soon the spelling bee was coming again and my word was “piece”.“Piece，” I started.“P.” The strange feeling that everyone was staring at me began to appear again， but I remembered what Mum had said.Taking a deep breath， I had a big smile on my face.My mind cleared and I concentrated.Now did the word start with P-I or P-E？ I knew this.We’d learned that there is a “pie” in “piece”.“I-E-C-E，” I said.“Piece.”
“Very good，” Mrs Casazza said with a cheerful smile on her face.I did it once， so I knew I could do it again.Throughout the year， I even won a few spelling bees.It worked so well that I had so much fun from the spelling bee and looked forward to it every Thursday.Thanks to my mother， I wasn’t afraid of standing in the front of the class.Now， I have more confidence in myself at school， jumping at the chance to give speeches and book reports.

problem.

（Text 2）
M：After two weeks of tennis lessons， I think I’ve finally managed to
improve my game.
W：Like my mom says，“Practice makes perfect.”
（Text 3）
W：You know so much about old movies. I’ll bet you saw a lot of
movies when you were a kid.
M：Not as many as you might think.
（Text 4）
W：Look at this picture， Peter.
M：That’s a nice picture， Ann. Who painted it？
W：I painted it myself. Nobody helped me.
M：Oh， you are a great artist！
（Text 5）
W：There are still so many things to do to prepare for the festival， such
as shopping and cleaning.
M：I will help you after I finish my homework.
W：OK. I will go shopping， and then we can work on cleaning the
house together.
M：Good idea！
（Text 6）
M：Do you have any tables？
W：Yes， we’ve got plenty of tables in stock. Take a look at this one.
M：It’s a nice color， and the style is not too bad， but it is a bit too
small.
W：How about this one？
M：Mm.I like it. How much is it？
W：70 dollars.
M：OK. Here is the money. Could you deliver it to my house？
W：Of course. We are always at your service.

W：You are welcome.
（Text 7）

swimming with me this Saturday afternoon.

W：How was the weather when you were there？
M：Quite good. And everybody was very kind. People aren’t in such a
hurry up there， you know.
W：You must have enjoyed your holidays.

（Text 9）
W：You know， Paul， I really like my neighbourhood， but I’ve got a
new job far from there， so I’m going to have to move here.
M：It’ll be OK. You’ll find a nice place here.
W：I’m not so sure. The area I’m in now is a great place to live. It’s
got a lot of good shops， and the people are very friendly. It’s got some
excellent cafés， too.
M：Any good restaurants？
W：There is a restaurant， but it’s terrible. I never eat there. The best
thing is the sports center near my apartment.
M：Oh. I didn’t know you like sports.
W：Yeah. I play table tennis there. One bad thing is all the cars.
Everybody uses the big car park next to the sports center. So the roads
around here have too many cars on them. Another problem is that there
isn’t a cinema. It’s not a big problem because there are good buses，
so I can go to the cinema in the city center.
M：Well， I know you like this neighbourhood， but I’m sure you’ll
find a good place near your new job. Don’t worry！
（Text 10）
The most wonderful experience I’ve ever had was a trip I took to
China a few years ago. I really can’t describe it. We spent three weeks travelling around China. We visited Beijing， Shanghai， Xi’an and several other places. It really was the most unusual holiday I’ve ever had. You know， the further we travelled into the center of China， the more I liked it， meeting people who’d never seen foreign tourists before. Then we spent our last week in Hong Kong，
which I think is very different from Beijing. It’s the noisiest and busiest place I’ve ever seen. We didn’t find Hong Kong very relaxing at all. And the other problem was the people on tour with us — they were so unfriendly. Anyway， the trip itself was interesting. I can’t wait to do it again！

As a kid in Milwaukee， Leonard Gigowski took the 6：30 bus every
morning to get to St.Francis Minor Seminary， a Catholic high school that
later became St.Thomas More High School.After some years in the
Navy， Gigowski went on to become a butcher and a grocer.He never
married — and he never forgot his life in St.Thomas More.Gigowski
visited it regularly and sometimes would eat lunch with the students in the
cafeteria.One time， he stood up and started singing the school cheer.
His “kids”， as Gigowski called them， smiled and joined him.On his 90th birthday， in 2015， administrators （管理人员） arranged a surprise
party for him.The kids sang “Happy Birthday”， and Gigowski led
them in prayer.
Three months later came the news： Leonard Gigowski had passed
away — and he’d left behind a $13 million scholarship fund for
St.Thomas More.“I nearly fell off my chair，” Mary McIntosh， the
school’s president， told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Gigowski may have been humble， but he led a very full life.He was
a great ballroom dancer — he had a dance floor in the basement of his
modest suburban home.He also loved pigeon racing.He had a coop （笼
子） in his yard and kept detailed records on each of his birds.“He told
me he loved being around God’s creatures and taking care of them，”
says his friend Jeff Korpal.
But the school was his passion.Larry Haskin， Gigowski’s friend
and the lawyer who helped him set up the Leonard Gigowski Catholic
Education Foundation， says there was no doubt that Gigowski had saved
his money with the intention of donating as much as he could to the
students of St.Thomas More.“He wanted to have the greatest impact
possible on future generations，” Haskin says.“He felt he owed his
long life to his education and deep faith， and he wanted to pass it on，”
Korpal adds.

The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival， or Dragon-Head-
Raising Festival， falls on the second day of the second lunar month every
year， and recognises the start of spring and farming.This year it falls on
11 March.
Longtaitou literally means “dragon raises its head”， symbolizing that the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep and the spring rains are to come.A well-known phrase goes， “Er yue er， long tai tou”， meaning “On the second day of the second lunar month， the dragon lifts his head.”
The festival celebrates ancient agrarian （土地的） Chinese
culture， and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer
practiced， others persist.
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut.Some believe that
going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck， while others believe
getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad
luck.
Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will
cause your uncle to die.Although today few pay attention to it， it
was once a tradition to line up outside barber shops on the day of
Longtaitou， having avoided haircuts for the preceding month.
People eat toufu balls in East China’s Fujian Province during the
festival， and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and
business.Fried beans are the traditional festival fare for people in parts of
Shandong Province.
Meanwhile other foods， like dumplings， spring rolls and
popcorn， are named after dragon body parts to mark the day.Noodles are
dragon’s beard （long xu）， dumplings are dragon’s ears （long
er）， spring rolls are dragon’s scales （long lin）， and popcorn
dragon seeds （long zi）.
People across the country celebrate Longtaitou Day with various
activities.“Through these activities， we hope the children can get a
deeper understanding of the cultural connotation （内涵） of traditional
Chinese festivals，” said Jin Qingfen， a teacher from a
kindergarten.“It will also help them enhance their sense of national pride
and belonging.”

Chinese artificial intelligence pioneer SenseTime
unveiled an AI interactive Go （围棋） version of its
consumer product “SenseRobot”， bringing AI
technologies and the Go game to more households.
Go， or weiqi in Chinese， is one of the earliest binary-based games
and known for its complexity （复杂）.After the historical game between
South Korean Go master Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo in 2016， AI has
gradually become an important “assistant” for players to train and
improve.
Featuring SenseTime’s advanced AI and robotic arm technology，
the AI Go robot can practice and play games on a real board.Equipped
with a large number of selected exercises and human-machine game
training at 20 levels， the robot can meet the demands of both the amateur
and the professional.It also enables connection to online Go platforms，
where the user can play actual games with millions of players from across
the world.
Compared with the SenseRobot’s xiangqi model launched last
August， which plays Chinese chess， this new robot has seen many
technical breakthroughs.Shen Hui， dean of the Innovative Engineering
Institute of SenseTime， said it was much harder to develop the Go robot
and the previous version has laid a solid foundation.
Shen highlighted the robotic arm.Using cutting-edge visual
techniques， algorithms （算法） and the company’s originally
designed arm， the robot can read the board and pick up small chess
pieces precisely.Furthermore， the robot is able to reconstruct the scene
of playing a real game， Shen said.
Nie Weiping， a Chinese Go master and the vice chairman of the
Chinese Weiqi Association， tried the new robot and spoke highly of
it.“Modern technology brings unprecedented challenges and
opportunities，” Nie said.He also noted the SenseRobot will promote the
development of Go culture and help the public feel the charm of the game.
“We hope SenseRobot can re-define the future of family robots，”
said Xu Li， chairman and CEO of SenseTime.“It can not only bring
new life experience for families， but can also inject new vitality（活力）
into the Go game as our cultural treasure， and promote the diverse
development of our traditional culture.”

were normal people and all， but it’s worth trying.We’re always
saying to our parents， “36（ ）” But have you ever stopped to
consider that maybe you don’t understand them？
They have pressures， too， you know？ While you’re worrying
about your friends and your upcoming history test， they’re worrying
about their bosses and how they’re going to pay for your education.Like
you， sometimes they get offended at work and go in the restroom to
cry.37（ ） Your mom may have too much work stress to just sit
down and relax at night.Your dad may get laughed at by the neighbours
because of the car he drives.They may have unfulfilled dreams they’ve
had to sacrifice so that you can reach yours.38（ ） They laugh，
they cry， they get their feelings hurt， and they don’t always have their
act together， just like me and you.
39（ ） First， you’ll gain a greater respect for them.Second，
if you take time to understand your parents， you’ll get your way much
more often.If they feel that you understand them， they’ll be way more
willing to listen to you， they’ll be more flexible， and they’ll trust
you more.
40（ ） Start by asking them some questions.When’s the last
time you asked your mom or dad， “How was your day today？” or
“Tell me what you like and don’t like about your job” or “Is there
anything I could do to help around the house？”
A. You don’t understand me.
B. Hey， parents are people， too.
C. It’s important to get on well with your parents.
D. So how can you better understand your parents？
E. Jump into their shoes and think from their point of view.
F. They have days when they don’t know how they will pay the bills.
G. If you take time to listen to your parents， two incredible things will
happen.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
Spelling was my favourite subject in fourth grade.Every week I
memorised the new words， and by Friday I was prepared to take the
spelling test.I usually got all the words right.My teacher， Mrs Casazza，
usually wrote “Excellent！” on the top of my paper.
One day， Mrs Casazza announced to the class that we would have a
spelling bee （拼字比赛） on Thursday.“Oh， no，” I thought.Last
month when I had to stand in the front of the class and give a book
report， my arms shook so badly that it was hard to read my paper.I was
very conscious of the twenty-seven pairs of eyes on me and all I wanted to
do was to run back to my seat.A spelling bee would be even worse.I
wouldn’t have a paper to read from！
After lunch on Thursday， Mrs Casazza explained the rules.“Say
the word， spell it， and then say it again，” she said.“Be careful not
to repeat any letters.” One at a time， she pronounced a word for each
student to spell.Two boys made mistakes right away and had to sit
down.With sweaty hands， I waited for my turn.After the girl next to me
correctly
spelled her word， Mrs Casazza called my name and said，“Your
word is ‘echo’.”
“Echo，” I started.Then my mind went blank.Everyone was
looking at me， waiting for me to speak out the first letter.But I couldn’t
think.My face got hot and I was unable to finish the word.Mrs Casazza
had to let me sit down.Afterwards， Mrs Casazza said it worked so well
that she decided to have a spelling bee every Thursday.
Afraid that I’d mess up again， I didn’t want to go to school the
following Thursday.“What’s wrong？” my mother asked.I told her
about the spelling bee and explained that I was nervous when they were all
looking at me.“You’re a good speller and you do so well in your tests，
so just believe in yourself，” Mum said.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
The encouragement from Mum gave me much confidence in
myself.
“Very good，” Mrs Casazza said with a cheerful smile on her
face.
参考范文：
The encouragement from Mum gave me much confidence in
myself.Soon the spelling bee was coming again and my word was
“piece”.“Piece，” I started.“P. ” The strange feeling that
everyone was staring at me began to appear again， but I remembered
what Mum had said.Taking a deep breath， I had a big smile on my
face.My mind cleared and I concentrated.Now did the word start with P-I
or P-E？ I knew this.We’d learned that there is a “pie” in
“piece”.“I-E-C-E，” I said.“Piece.”
“Very good，” Mrs Casazza said with a cheerful smile on her
face.I did it once， so I knew I could do it again.Throughout the year， I
even won a few spelling bees.It worked so well that I had so much fun
from the spelling bee and looked forward to it every Thursday.Thanks to
my mother， I wasn’t afraid of standing in the front of the class.Now，
I have more confidence in myself at school， jumping at the chance to
give speeches and book reports.
谢谢观看！
