TOKYO, JAPAN—What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂）？ Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?
When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器）.Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.
Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can’t,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾）to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.
This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.
First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(触须）. They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight.”
With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don’t always move in the right direction.
1. The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ______.
A. they want cockroaches to do things people can’t in the future
B. they want to control the movements of the cockroaches
C. they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes
D. they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches
2. What can cockroaches do to help people?
A. They can lift 20 times their own weight.
B. They can help people to carry very small cameras.
C. They can breed hundreds of cockroaches.
D. They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.
3. Scientists control cockroaches’ movements ______.
A. by removing their wings
B. by sending signals from the remote control
C. by using very small cameras
D. by removing their antennae
4. What problem do the researchers meet with?
A. The cockroaches sometimes don’t move.
B. The cockroaches sometimes move in the wrong direction.
C. The cockroaches are too big to move through earthquake rubble.
D. The cockroaches can only lift 20 times their own weight.
B
My mom isn’t fancy like other moms．They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars．My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school．
When fancy moms laugh，their laughs sound soft and whispery．You can hear my mom’s laugh from down the hall．I show her how to laugh quietly and she practices．But before long she starts laughing even harder than before．
At the talent show，my mom cheers loudly，“Bravo，everyone！Bravo！”instead of clapping politely the way fancy moms do．
For our class hike(徒步旅行)，parents are invited．At breakfast I go over my rules for Mom，“Please don’t whistle．Don’t laugh loudly．No clapping．And stay in line．”
The other moms show up wearing fancy jackets and sneakers．My mom wears cutoffs，a floppy straw hat，and her old hiking boots．
We hike along，all in a line．Soon Mom starts to whistle her hiking songs，She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain．I shake my head at her．She stops and whispers，“Oops．Sorry，Jane．”
We keep hiking．Everything is perfect until…
Our teacher，Ms．Steele，stops and points，“A snake！”All the moms hold their kids hands and back up，except my mom．“Watch out！It might be poisonous(有毒的)！”Ms．Steele says．
The other moms shuttle back some more．However，my mom steps forward and says，“Hmm．Let’s see what kind it is．Nope，it’s not poisonous．”
I shut my eyes．I know what’s coming next．Mom makes a sudden attack．“Got it！”she says．The other moms scream，not sounding fancy at all．
Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake．“It’s OK to touch，”she says．
Everyone’s too scared，but I go first．“Snakes aren’t slimy，”I tell them．Right away，others line up．A couple of the fancy moms come up to touch the snake’s tail．
Later，Ms．Steele tells us to draw our favorite part of the hike．After a while，I look around quickly．Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake．
As we hike back to the bus，I squeeze Mom’s hand．“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule．”She smiles．But soon，she’s whistling her hiking songs again！
I start to make her silent，then stop．Instead，I take a deep breath and sing out too．Everyone joins in，even the fancy moms．
5．The word“fancy”in this passage is close to“________”．

答案与解析：
Ⅰ. 单项选择。
1. C。先行词为表示物的名词，关系代词要用that/which,且本句关系代词在从句中作了宾语。
2. A。houses是先行词，它为物，其后的定语从句的关系代词可用that也可用which，这里的关系代词在从句中作了主语。
3.Ａ。本句子是考查定语从句的引导词。由于先行词是不定代词，它的引导词只能是that。
4.Ａ。考查关系代词的用法。此句是定语从句，先行词是students，且在定语从句中作主语，因此用关系代词who。
5．A。break into one’s house意为“闯入某人的家”。
6．D。根据答语“我们要野炊”，可以判断“不希望下雨”。
7．B。宾语从句中从句用陈述句语序，因此排除A和C；could表示委婉客气的预期，不表示过去的时态，所以从句不需要变更时态。
8．A。happen和take place不可用于被动语态；具体指某一天用介词on。
9．A。one的发音是辅音音标开头。前面不用冠词an，排除B。“一个月的假期”应说成a one-month holiday。
10．A。根据短语offer a reward of“提供……的奖赏”；lead to“导致”可判断答案。
11．C。whether…or not…意为“是……还是……”。
12．B。else修饰不定代词要后置，排除C和D；根据句意：如果他不想做这个工作，还有别的谁愿意呢?因此选B。
13．C。本题考查固定搭配。，get on well with sth.／sb．意为“和某人相处得好；某事进展顺利”。
14．D。根据回答Not yet，可知用现在完成时。
15. A。由于“I had showed to my friends”作The necklace 的定语，句子中还缺少单数谓语动词，从后面句子可知，应为一般过去时，故选A。be lost表示“丢失”。
【真题链接】
1. D。句意：— 现在要和我去参观动物园吗？―对不起，过了参观时间了。我们明天去吧。根据语境，sorry表示不能去动物园，因为不在拜访时间内。A、C两项均不符合句意；over和beyond都可以表示超过，但over是指空间上的超过，beyond可以指时间上的超过，本题指超过了参观时间，所以选D。
2. C。由答语“He is a policeman.”可知，问句询问的应是“Jim和Paul的哥哥是干什么的”。此处表示Jim和Paul共同的哥哥，因此只在后一个名词后加’s，表示两人共同拥有。故选C。
3. B。句意：“—谁的家离学校更远些，爱丽丝的家还是黛西的家?”“ —我觉得是爱丽丝的家。”因为只是两者之间的比较，所以用比较级，而最高级是三者或者三者以上的比较，故选B。
II. 完形填空。
1. D。由后文妈妈第二次提问时Mike有点生气，可知第一次妈妈问他时，他是感到意外的。
2. A。句意：Mike有点生气，但还是回答了她的问题。still意为“仍然，还是”。
3. C。联系上文和下句的“shouted at her”可知，妈妈第三次提问时，Mike控制不住怒气了。control意为“控制”。
4. D。由第一段可知，Mike当时正在花园里看书，由此可以推测出他冲妈妈喊叫是责怪妈妈打扰了他。disturb意为“打扰”，refuse意为“拒绝”，support意为“支持”，encourage意为“鼓励”。
5. B。句意：老妇人默默地拿出一本旧日记，翻开一页给Mike看。take out意为“拿出来”。
6. C。由下文的“it was a sparrow”可知，这里应选bird。
7.B。由后面的kissed him可知，这里应是smiled at him。故选B。
8. B。句意为“指着同一只麻雀，小Mike问了我二十遍这是什么，我重复回答了他的问题，而且每次回答时都亲吻他”。keep on意为“继续，重复”。put on意为“穿上”；tried on意为“尝试”；depended on意为“依赖”。
9. C。touch one’s heart 意为“触动某人的心”。
10. A。 shame意为“羞愧”。由“His face turned red”可知，A项正确。
III. 阅读理解。
A篇
1. A。根据第三段中的“Insects can do many things that people can’t”可知，科学家将蟑螂变成机器人是因为他们想让蟑螂在将来做一些人类不能够做的事情，故选A。
2. D。根据第三段中的“They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾)to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.”可知，答案选D。
3. B。根据最后一段中的“With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves.”可知，科学家通过发送信号来控制蟑螂的运动，故选B。
4. B。根据文章的最后一句“The problem is that the cockroaches don’t always move in the right direction.”可知，科学家遇到的问题是蟑螂有时会走错方向，故选B。
B篇
5. A。由第一段第二句“They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars.”和该段第三句“My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school.”的对比可推知，fancy的意思是“时尚的，昂贵的”，相当于fashionable和expensive。故选A。
6. B。通读全文可知，“我”试图给妈妈制定一些规则，是因为“我”害怕妈妈让“我”在同学们面前丢脸。故选B。
7. D。通读倒数第二、三段可知，当“我”发现每个人都画了“我”和妈妈拿着蛇的画后，“我”开始为妈妈感到自豪。故选D。
8. A。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了 “我”的不时尚的妈妈的故事。因此，最佳标题为“My Mom Isn’t Fancy”。故选A。
IV. 书面表达。
参考范文：
An Unforgettable Experience
Everyone has some unforgettable experiences. I will never forget my first volunteer work.
Last summer, our class went to a country primary school to help the students there. First, we gave away some books and pencils to them. Then we talked about school life. I was quite shy before, but to my surprise, I kept talking with some students for almost an hour. I shared my effective study methods with them excitedly. Finally, we played games together. All of us felt so happy.
By doing the volunteer work, I not only got happiness, but also became more confident. It made me know that giving is receiving.

原文：
Hello, everyone. Now I’ll say something about my last weekend.
I had a great time last weekend. My friend Jack came to visit me for three days. He’s never been to Beijing before, so I showed him around the city. He got here on Thursday morning. I never go out on Thursday nights because I have to be at work early on Fridays. So the first night we just stayed at home and relaxed. On Friday, we went to a club. I hardly ever go to clubs. I don’t really like dancing, but Jack loves it. He is a good dancer. We danced there for three hours. Saturday, we took a tour of the city. I showed him some of my favorite places. In the afternoon, we went to a gym to play basketball. We both like basketball and play it well. We got there at two o’clock and left at four o’clock. We had a good time there. On Sunday, we met some other friends and went out for lunch at this Chinese place I often go to. And then Jack left in the afternoon. It was good seeing him.
Thank you for listening.
