第二节 阅读理解 (20分)
A 阿西莫夫，“黄金时代”科幻作品的领军人物。
It was when I was attending high school that I first read Asimov’s stories. At the time, a few science fiction magazines began to introduce this author, and to translate a few pieces from his “Robot Series”. Of Asimov’s works, the one that left the deepest impression on me was Pebble in the Sky. This novel directly influenced my early science fiction writing. Asimov was one of the leading writers of western science fiction’s Golden Age, so although his writing may not have a direct influence on writers of today, his underlying (潜在的) influence on many levels is undeniable — the famous Three Laws of Robotics, and many classic writing techniques, for example. Asimov’s novels are marked by a fully integrated (完整的) logical system, and his stories are a pleasure to read. This is the reason his novels still attract readers today. Naturally, western science fiction has few people these days who follow Asimov’s creative methods. But still the majority of Chinese science fiction readers would rather read the classic works of Asimov.
Compared with the “Robot Series”, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” is a little less well-known in China. In fact, the “Foundation Series” creates an entire world, even grander than that of the “Robot Series”; this science fiction had a direct influence on later western science fiction, the most famous example being Star Wars.
1. We learn from the passage that the writer is probably a _________.
A. science fiction writer
B. science fiction publisher
C. high school student
D. science fiction fan
2. The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A. compare Asimov with other science fiction writers
B. advise people to read Asimov’s stories
C. give some comments on Asimov’s influence
D. explain why Asimov is popular in China
3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Asimov is criticized by today’s science fiction writers.
B. Asimov still has many readers in China.
C. Asimov wrote Star Wars in his later life.
D. Asimov’s writing techniques are still widely used.
4. In the writer’s opinion, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” _________.
A. was not as successful as his “Robot Series”
B. is better known to readers than his “Robot Series”
C. was more logically organized than his “Robot Series”
D. was written better than his “Robot Series” in some ways

C 瞧！月球人的飞船在月光下闪闪发光！
We ran outside, and there, in the Ten Acre Field, a thing was flashing in the moonlight. Huge it was, like a great shining rocket.
Grandfather looked at it. “Lost their way, maybe,” he said. Then he felt in his pocket and took out a card and put it in my hand. “Run you, Bronwen,” he said, “and give them the business card of Uncle Space-Ship-Repairs Jones.”
But I was frightened, being a little girl then. So Dai, my father, started up the tractor (拖拉机) without a word, and rode off to fetch Uncle Space-Ship-Repairs Jones.
Down to the farm came the Moon Men, as the newspapers called them, their helmets bright in the moonlight, and soon my father arrived. My uncle was sitting on the tractor with him, carrying a great spanner (扳手) and soon his banging and hammering (捶打) came across the still air from Ten Acre.
After about 15 minutes we heard Uncle Space-Ship-Repairs Jones saying that the Moon-Ship was now right. The Moon Men all set off for Ten Acre.
“I will come and see you off,” said Grandfather, and we watched him walk up the hill with the men. With a great roar (怒号), the Moon-Ship rose into the sky, and climbed among the stars. Soon we could see it no more.
“Supper now,” said Gran. “Where is Grandfather?” “Gone to talk to the old bull, maybe,” said Gran.
Silently my father picked up the lantern (灯笼) and went out into the fields.

D 西谚云：“一天一个苹果，医生远离我。” 苹果不但是一种健康水果，还是一种很有趣的水果呢。
Ever heard the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? It is true! Apples have a lot of nutritional value!
A medium sized apple has only 80 calories (卡). What a great snack choice! Not only is an apple low in calories, they contain absolutely no fat. Thus, eating apples as snacks, as opposed to chips or cakes, will help reduce the risk of cancer.
On top of reducing the risk of cancer, the low sodium (钠) amounts in apples also help reduce high blood pressure and heart disease. They are cholesterol (胆固醇) free. They are also rich in vitamin A, which helps strengthen vision (视力) along with bone and tooth development.
Now that we know the nutritional facts, let’s take a look at some of the fun facts—That’s right! Apples can be fun, as well as healthy!
If an apple is fresh, it will float on water. Twenty-five percent of an apple is air, thus allowing it to float. Can you imagine bobbing (上下浮动) for apples that sink?
And, did you know that an apple is covered with a natural layer of wax (蜡)? That’s what the peeling (剥下的皮) is. It protects the apple’s high water content, keeping the apple fresh.
Apples are a very important part of a healthy diet, but keep in mind they can be fun. And always remember, if an apple sinks in water, pick another one to bob for!
13. How many kinds of facts about apples are menti-
oned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
14. Apples contain no _________.
A. calories and sodium
B. fat and sodium
C. fat and cholesterol
D. cholesterol and sodium
15. We learn that an apple is probably _________ if it sinks in water.
A. too high in water content
B. still green
C. sweet and rich in vitamins
D. unsuitable to eat
16. Why do apples stay fresh for a long time?
A. Because they contain much water.
B. Because they have peeling with a layer of wax.
C. Because they contain much air.
D. Because they have peeling with nutritional value.
E吃的是死苍蝇、烂苹果，干的却是最脏、最危险的活——这是英国科学家研究出来的一种新型机器人。
Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well, not all of them. Scientists in England have built a series of small robots that get their energy from dead flies, rotten apples, or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt garden insects for dinner!
Well, scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor (海底) or Antarctica, don’t have electrical sockets (插座). So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea: Build robots that get their energy just like animals do — by hunting and eating food from their environment.
The robots digest their food in a series of stomach-like devices (装置) called microbial (微生物的) fuel cells that are full of bacteria!
The bacteria do the real eating, munching dead flies or other food fed into the fuel cells. As the bacteria eat up the food, they release electrons (电子). Electrons are charged particles (粒子) that flow to form electricity.
One robot, called Ecobot II, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot, called Ecobot III, which will have a better digestion system.
It seems that after an eight-fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn’t get rid of the leftover (剩余的) “waste”. Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys, girls, and robots.
17. Robots invented by the Bristol Robotics Laboratory _________.
A. work for humans like some animals
B. can work in no-electricity situations for a long time
C. can produce electricity from the sea
D. hunt small animals for food in dangerous places
18. The underlined word “munching” probably means_________.
A. hunting B. killing C. chewing D. catching
19. Compared to Ecobot II, Ecobot III will _________.
A. work longer with less electricity
B. have more microbial fuel cells
C. eat less but work longer
D. get more energy from what it eats
20. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Dead Flies Power Flesh-eating Robot.
B. Small Robots, Big Effects.
C. A Long Way to Go to Improve Robots.
D. Restrooms for Robots Are in Demand.

Some parents are better than others at helping you communicate well. Parents can help by listening to and respecting your point of view, even if it opposes their own. If your parents just don’t seem to be on the same track as you, try these tips for constructive disagreements:
※ Don’t make it personal. If you get upset, try to remember you’re mad at the idea or concept your parents is raising, not the person.
※ Avoid putting down your parents’ ideas and beliefs. Instead of saying “That’s a stupid idea”, try “I don’t agree, and here’s why”.
※ Use “I” statements to communicate how you feel, what you think, and what you want or need. Using “you” statements can sound argumentative (争论的). For example, telling your mum or dad — You always remind me about my chores on Wednesdays when you know I have a lot of homework — has a very different effect from “I’m feeling stressed because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?”
※ Listen to the other point of view. Doing so makes it more likely that a parent will listen to yours.
Anyway, you need your parents’ respect and so do they. So talk to them in a respectful way, and you will _________ for you in return.
1. What will you do if you think your parents’ requirements are unreasonable? (Please answer within 25 words.)
___________________________________________________________2. What’s the writer’s purpose to write the passage? (Please answer within 15 words.)
______________________________________________________ 3. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 5 words.)
______________________________________________________ 4. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
In that way, you will make it easier for your parents to accept your idea.
_______________________________________________________ 5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 into Chinese.

第四节One possible version:
Robots in Our Future Life
Can you imagine what life will be like in our future? As far as I’m concerned, robots will play an important part in many aspects. Perhaps we needn’t be worried in the future when meeting a traffic jam, because cars driven by robots will be able to fly. Instead of travelling in our own country, robots may be able to carry us into space or under the sea, where we can enjoy ourselves a great deal. Also, it may be possible in the future that the “person” we are chatting with on the Internet is, in fact, a thoughtful robot, which can share our happiness and sorrow. What’s even better, robots will do all the housework, which is good news for women indeed. All in all, robots will make our future life comfortable and convenient.

第二节 阅读理解 (20分)
A 阿西莫夫，“黄金时代”科幻作品的领军人物。
It was when I was attending high school that I first read Asimov’s stories. At the time, a few science fiction magazines began to introduce this author, and to translate a few pieces from his “Robot Series”. Of Asimov’s works, the one that left the deepest impression on me was Pebble in the Sky. This novel directly influenced my early science fiction writing. Asimov was one of the leading writers of western science fiction’s Golden Age, so although his writing may not have a direct influence on writers of today, his underlying (潜在的) influence on many levels is undeniable — the famous Three Laws of Robotics, and many classic writing techniques, for example. Asimov’s novels are marked by a fully integrated (完整的) logical system, and his stories are a pleasure to read. This is the reason his novels still attract readers today. Naturally, western science fiction has few people these days who follow Asimov’s creative methods. But still the majority of Chinese science fiction readers would rather read the classic works of Asimov.
Compared with the “Robot Series”, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” is a little less well-known in China. In fact, the “Foundation Series” creates an entire world, even grander than that of the “Robot Series”; this science fiction had a direct influence on later western science fiction, the most famous example being Star Wars.
1. We learn from the passage that the writer is probably a _________.
A. science fiction writer
B. science fiction publisher
C. high school student
D. science fiction fan
2. The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A. compare Asimov with other science fiction writers
B. advise people to read Asimov’s stories
C. give some comments on Asimov’s influence
D. explain why Asimov is popular in China
3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Asimov is criticized by today’s science fiction writers.
B. Asimov still has many readers in China.
C. Asimov wrote Star Wars in his later life.
D. Asimov’s writing techniques are still widely used.
4. In the writer’s opinion, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” _________.
A. was not as successful as his “Robot Series”
B. is better known to readers than his “Robot Series”
C. was more logically organized than his “Robot Series”
D. was written better than his “Robot Series” in some ways

C 瞧！月球人的飞船在月光下闪闪发光！
We ran outside, and there, in the Ten Acre Field, a thing was flashing in the moonlight. Huge it was, like a great shining rocket.
Grandfather looked at it. “Lost their way, maybe,” he said. Then he felt in his pocket and took out a card and put it in my hand. “Run you, Bronwen,” he said, “and give them the business card of Uncle Space-Ship-Repairs Jones.”
But I was frightened, being a little girl then. So Dai, my father, started up the tractor (拖拉机) without a word, and rode off to fetch Uncle Space-Ship-Repairs Jones.
Down to the farm came the Moon Men, as the newspapers called them, their helmets bright in the moonlight, and soon my father arrived. My uncle was sitting on the tractor with him, carrying a great spanner (扳手) and soon his banging and hammering (捶打) came across the still air from Ten Acre.
After about 15 minutes we heard Uncle Space-Ship-Repairs Jones saying that the Moon-Ship was now right. The Moon Men all set off for Ten Acre.
“I will come and see you off,” said Grandfather, and we watched him walk up the hill with the men. With a great roar (怒号), the Moon-Ship rose into the sky, and climbed among the stars. Soon we could see it no more.
“Supper now,” said Gran. “Where is Grandfather?” “Gone to talk to the old bull, maybe,” said Gran.
Silently my father picked up the lantern (灯笼) and went out into the fields.

D 西谚云：“一天一个苹果，医生远离我。” 苹果不但是一种健康水果，还是一种很有趣的水果呢。
Ever heard the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? It is true! Apples have a lot of nutritional value!
A medium sized apple has only 80 calories (卡). What a great snack choice! Not only is an apple low in calories, they contain absolutely no fat. Thus, eating apples as snacks, as opposed to chips or cakes, will help reduce the risk of cancer.
On top of reducing the risk of cancer, the low sodium (钠) amounts in apples also help reduce high blood pressure and heart disease. They are cholesterol (胆固醇) free. They are also rich in vitamin A, which helps strengthen vision (视力) along with bone and tooth development.
Now that we know the nutritional facts, let’s take a look at some of the fun facts—That’s right! Apples can be fun, as well as healthy!
If an apple is fresh, it will float on water. Twenty-five percent of an apple is air, thus allowing it to float. Can you imagine bobbing (上下浮动) for apples that sink?
And, did you know that an apple is covered with a natural layer of wax (蜡)? That’s what the peeling (剥下的皮) is. It protects the apple’s high water content, keeping the apple fresh.
Apples are a very important part of a healthy diet, but keep in mind they can be fun. And always remember, if an apple sinks in water, pick another one to bob for!
13. How many kinds of facts about apples are menti-
oned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
14. Apples contain no _________.
A. calories and sodium
B. fat and sodium
C. fat and cholesterol
D. cholesterol and sodium
15. We learn that an apple is probably _________ if it sinks in water.
A. too high in water content
B. still green
C. sweet and rich in vitamins
D. unsuitable to eat
16. Why do apples stay fresh for a long time?
A. Because they contain much water.
B. Because they have peeling with a layer of wax.
C. Because they contain much air.
D. Because they have peeling with nutritional value.
E吃的是死苍蝇、烂苹果，干的却是最脏、最危险的活——这是英国科学家研究出来的一种新型机器人。
Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well, not all of them. Scientists in England have built a series of small robots that get their energy from dead flies, rotten apples, or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt garden insects for dinner!
Well, scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor (海底) or Antarctica, don’t have electrical sockets (插座). So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea: Build robots that get their energy just like animals do — by hunting and eating food from their environment.
The robots digest their food in a series of stomach-like devices (装置) called microbial (微生物的) fuel cells that are full of bacteria!
The bacteria do the real eating, munching dead flies or other food fed into the fuel cells. As the bacteria eat up the food, they release electrons (电子). Electrons are charged particles (粒子) that flow to form electricity.
One robot, called Ecobot II, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot, called Ecobot III, which will have a better digestion system.
It seems that after an eight-fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn’t get rid of the leftover (剩余的) “waste”. Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys, girls, and robots.
17. Robots invented by the Bristol Robotics Laboratory _________.
A. work for humans like some animals
B. can work in no-electricity situations for a long time
C. can produce electricity from the sea
D. hunt small animals for food in dangerous places
18. The underlined word “munching” probably means_________.
A. hunting B. killing C. chewing D. catching
19. Compared to Ecobot II, Ecobot III will _________.
A. work longer with less electricity
B. have more microbial fuel cells
C. eat less but work longer
D. get more energy from what it eats
20. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

Some parents are better than others at helping you communicate well. Parents can help by listening to and respecting your point of view, even if it opposes their own. If your parents just don’t seem to be on the same track as you, try these tips for constructive disagreements:
※ Don’t make it personal. If you get upset, try to remember you’re mad at the idea or concept your parents is raising, not the person.
※ Avoid putting down your parents’ ideas and beliefs. Instead of saying “That’s a stupid idea”, try “I don’t agree, and here’s why”.
※ Use “I” statements to communicate how you feel, what you think, and what you want or need. Using “you” statements can sound argumentative (争论的). For example, telling your mum or dad — You always remind me about my chores on Wednesdays when you know I have a lot of homework — has a very different effect from “I’m feeling stressed because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?”
※ Listen to the other point of view. Doing so makes it more likely that a parent will listen to yours.
Anyway, you need your parents’ respect and so do they. So talk to them in a respectful way, and you will _________ for you in return.
1. What will you do if you think your parents’ requirements are unreasonable? (Please answer within 25 words.)
___________________________________________________________2. What’s the writer’s purpose to write the passage? (Please answer within 15 words.)
______________________________________________________ 3. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 5 words.)
______________________________________________________ 4. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
In that way, you will make it easier for your parents to accept your idea.
_______________________________________________________ 5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 into Chinese.

Robots in Our Future Life
Can you imagine what life will be like in our future? As far as I’m concerned, robots will play an important part in many aspects. Perhaps we needn’t be worried in the future when meeting a traffic jam, because cars driven by robots will be able to fly. Instead of travelling in our own country, robots may be able to carry us into space or under the sea, where we can enjoy ourselves a great deal. Also, it may be possible in the future that the “person” we are chatting with on the Internet is, in fact, a thoughtful robot, which can share our happiness and sorrow. What’s even better, robots will do all the housework, which is good news for women indeed. All in all, robots will make our future life comfortable and convenient.
