A
There lived a happy cobbler(修鞋匠) in a village.He passed his days working and singing from morning till night.One of his neighbours was a rich banker.One day,the banker said to him,“How much money a year do you make?” The cobbler said,“I make enough to make both ends meet.” “I am sorry for that.You must be living in a poor condition,” said the banker.“But I am used to this kind of life and I am happy,” said the cobbler.
The next day,the rich banker came to visit the cobbler again.He came with ten thousand taka(塔卡,孟加拉国货币单位) in a bag.He said to him,“Look,my friend! I've brought ten thousand taka for you.Keep this money and remove your distress(贫困).” The cobbler was greatly surprised.At first he refused to take the money.The banker told him that he could use the money in times of difficulties.The cobbler took the bag of money from the banker at last and thanked him.Now a new anxiety(焦虑) took hold of the cobbler.He said to himself,“Ten thousand taka is a lot of money.” He could not think where to keep the money.
He did not find any safe place to keep the money.He dug a hole in his house and kept the money there.But he always thought that his money could be stolen at any time.This anxiety kept him awake and his sleep fled away at night.He could not even put himself into his work.As a result,his life became miserable.Peace and happiness disappeared in his life.The cobbler slowly realized that he had money,but no peace of mind.
( A )1.What did the banker think of the cobbler's life according to the first paragraph
A.Hard. B.Happy. C.Relaxing.
解析:细节理解题。根据“I am sorry for that.You must be living in a poor condition”可知,银行家认为修鞋匠生活在贫困中,日子过得很艰难。故选A。
( C )2.What can we infer from the second paragraph
A.The cobbler found a safe place to put the money at last.
B.The rich banker did not want the cobbler to be happy.
C.After having lots of money,the cobbler became unhappy.
解析:推理判断题。根据“Now a new anxiety(焦虑) took hold of the cobbler.He said to himself,‘Ten thousand taka is a lot of money.’ He could not think where to keep the money”可知,修鞋匠有了钱之后,不知道放在哪里,他变得焦虑不开心了。故选C。
( B )3.What does the underlined word “miserable” mean in the last paragraph
A.Quite difficult and poor.
B.Very unhappy or uncomfortable.
C.Quite peaceful and unforgettable.
解析:词义猜测题。根据“But he always thought that his money could be stolen at any time.This anxiety kept him awake and his sleep fled away at night.He could not even put himself into his work.”可知,修鞋匠害怕钱被偷,没有办法睡好觉,也没有办法投入工作,所以他变得不开心、不舒服了,所以miserable意为“痛苦的”。故选B。
( B )4.What is the relationship between the cobbler and the banker
A.The cobbler works for the banker.
B.The cobbler is the banker's neighbour.
C.The cobbler stole the banker's money.
解析:细节理解题。根据“There lived a happy cobbler(修鞋匠) in a village.He passed his days working and singing from morning till night.A rich neighbor of his was a banker.”可知,银行家是修鞋匠的邻居。故选B。
( A )5.What can we learn from this passage
A.Money does not necessarily bring happiness or peace.
B.If there is no money,peace and happiness cannot be achieved.
C.One cannot live happily if one has too much money.
解析:推理判断题。根据“Peace and happiness disappeared in his life.The cobbler slowly realized that he had money,but no peace of mind.”可知,修鞋匠有了钱之后,并没有变得幸福和平静,所以金钱不一定会带来幸福和安宁。故选A。

This year some students at White Cloud Primary School became the world's first kids to be “taught” by an electronic teacher.This electronic teacher is not 1. a human like robot walking around the classroom.Instead,he is a computer created head that appears,when needed,on 2. students' (student) computer or phone screens.His name is Bill.Bill teaches a special program about environmental friendly power 3. created (create) by the sun and wind.This program,started in 2005,used to be taught by human teachers.
Just like human teachers,Bill is able to 4. quickly (quick) respond(回应) to the students' questions and opinions.Thanks to computer cameras,he is also able to see and react(反应) to students' physical actions.For example,5. if a student smiles at Bill,he smiles back.This two way exchange helps get the students' attention.More 6. importantly (important),it allows the program developers to improve Bill's behaviour and knowledge base(库) when needed.
The program has been a great 7. success (succeed),according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost.Frost says,“What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill.He really draws their attention.” Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as 8. strange (strange) as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smartphones.
It is doubtful that human educators 9. will lose (lose) their jobs in the future,because even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations.Bill's future might be as a “personal tutor(导师)”,providing kids 10. with one on one help for different subjects and topics.

An Unforgettable Experience
Along the way of growing up,I've had many valuable memories and experiences. But there's one that I want to share with you most—the day of tears and warmth.
It was in Grade 8.I joined a dancing competition with my classmates.In order to win a prize,we practiced day and night for two weeks before the competition.When the big day came,all of us were excited and nervous.At first,everything went well.We danced perfectly on the stage when suddenly I fell and hit the ground.Everyone stared at me and I felt so embarrassed.Although I stood up at once,we didn't perform well and we lost the competition because of my mistake.
I cried out loud and was unable to say any word to my classmates.But to my surprise,none of them said anything bad to me.Instead,they hugged me for a long time and encouraged me to be strong.We agreed to stay as a team and try to be successful next time.
A year later,we did win a prize! But we will never forget that special and meaningful day.
