“Attention, everyone!” Miss Dalrymple looked at her class of ten-year-olds. “Today we are going to create a special card for Father’s Day, which falls on this weekend.” Then sh e busied herself handing out the paper and art materials to her noisy pupils.

They were a mixed punch. Some came from the rich side of the town, but the majorities were from parents who struggled to get jobs. So she had not been eager to carry out this activity.

“Think about all the things that your dad does that make him special,” she said loudly as she approached the last table. “You can write a poem or short story thinking of the positive characteristics that make your dad special. The written part of th is activity should be completed before you start to decorate your card.”

Andrew looked at the blank page. He had never met, spoken to, or been hugged by his dad, so how could he write about him? Once when he was looking in his grandma’s photo box, he had s een an old black and white photo but it was badly creased(弄皱) and difficult to recognize any clear features. She had quickly taken it from him and buried it deeply among the rest, never to be found again. After thinking for a while, he wrote:

Dear Dad,

You are a person I do not know and would probably not recognize as I only saw an old photo of you a long time ago. I think and wonder about you often, especially when I have no one to talk to about the Saturday fixtures(体育活动). One day when I grow up I will do an Internet search to find you, but I am not sure whether I will be successful as several attempts by the Child Support Agency have not been successful. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

Andrew 24．What did Miss Dalrymple ask her students to do?

A．Hand out the paper and art materials. B．Make a celebration plan for F ather’s Day.

C．Make a special card for their fathers. D．Carry out a school activity on the weekend.

25．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?

A．The students’ family conditions were quite different.B．The students were not willing to finish the task. C．The students didn’t get along well with each other.D．The students were eager to carry out the activity. 26．Why did Andrew have difficulty in making a special card for his father?

A．Because he forgot all the things his father did. B．Because his father was not a successful man. C．Because he and his grandma didn’t like his father.D．Because he had never seen his father.

27．What can we learn from Andrew’s letter?

C．Andrew is sure of finding his father. D．Andrew’s father can’t recognize him.

The search engine Google celebrated on Thursday the 110th birthday of the first Native American woman engineer. Google honored Mary Ross with a special Google Doodle on its homepage.

Ross was born on August 9，1908，in the state of Oklahoma.She was the great-granddaughter of John Ross，the longest—serving chief of the Cherokee Nation. Her work is considered important to the early stages of the age of space travel.

Ross showed special abilities in math and science from an early age. As a student，she developed an interest in aviation，or the practice of flying aircraft. She went on to earn a master’s degree in mathematics from Colorado State Teachers College，now called the University of Northern Colorado.

During World War II，Ross began working for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as a mathematician. She earned

a special certification in the field from the University of California in1949. Ross was later chosen to join Lockheed’s top—secret Skunk Works team that worked on aircraft designs. The name refers to a group that is permitted to work independently on advanced projects. She was the only female engineer among the team’s 40 members.

Early on，she researched defense systems. By the late 1950s，her work centered on satellites and a series of space rockets called Agenda. The rockets were extremely important in the 1960s during the Apollo moon program.

Ross also helped develop early design ideas for space travel between planets，including flyby space flights to study Venus and Mars. Ross retired from Lockheed in 1973. But she continued to give talks at high schools and colleges to encourage more women and Native Americans to study engineering. She died in 2008，a few months before her 100th birthday.

Many celebrated Ross’life on social media. Twitter user Aaron Perez, for example, wrote:“Mary Ross was an engineer who pioneered in the field of satellites. I never would have known if it wasn’t for the doodle. Women engineers deserve more recognition.”

28．Why did Google celebrate Mary Ross’ 110th birthday?

A．She invented a new flying aircraft. B．She had been a great designer ever.

C．She got a master’s degree in mathematics. D．She contributed a lot to space travel.

29．What did Mary Ross do in the middle of the 20th century?

A．She planned the Apollo moon program. B．She worked on Agenda.

C．She helped women study engineering. D．She gave talks at high schools.

30．Which of the following can best describe Mary Ross?

A．Caring and cautious. B．Courageous and optimistic.

C．Generous and patient. D．Talented and creative.

31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Social media is very popular in the world.

B．Every Twitter user thinks highly of Mary Ross.

C．More attention should be paid to women engineers.

D．Man has made greater progress in space technology.

D

Dolphins, African gray parrots and some other animals understand the idea of “zero,” but researchers were surprised to find that honeybees also comprehend this abstract concept, consideri ng the insects’ tiny brains, according to a new study. Honeybees have fewer than one million neurons (神经元), compared with the 86 billion neurons in humans—and yet, they grasp a concept that humans, by some measures, don’t start to understand before prescho ol.

The researchers set up two cards, each of which had a set of symbols on them, like triangles or circles. Then, they trained a group of the bees to fly to the card with the lower number of symbols. The bees quickly learned what the humans wanted them to do to get their delicious, sweet rewards. The trained bees were then shown a card that was empty and one that had symbols on it. There is no need for the bees to be trained to fly more often to the empty card—thus showing that they understood that “zero” was a number less than the others.

Although they flew more often to an empty card than to one that had one symbol on it, it became easier for them to distinguish when the symbols on the card increased in number. For example, they more often flew to the zero when the other card had four symbols than when it had one.

Perhaps these findings will explain the brain mechanism (机制) behind what allows us to understand the concept of “nothing,” Adrian Dyer, a researcher said. This understanding, in turn, could help in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that also understands this concept. “If bees can understand ‘zero’ with a brain of less than a million neurons, it suggests there are simple, efficient ways to teach AI new tricks,” Dyer said in the statement.

32．What is a surprising finding for the researchers?

A．Many animals also comprehend the meaning of “zero”.

B．Hone ybees can understand “zero” with their tiny brains.

C．The number of neurons of honeybees is much smaller.

D．Humans fail to recognize abstract ideas before preschool.

33．What can the bees do without further training?

A．Fly more often to the card without any symbol on it.

B．Fly directly to the card with more symbols on it.

C．Fly quite slowly to the card without anything on it.

D．Fly less often to the card with fewer symbols on it.

34．What does Adrian Dyer say about these findings?

A．They allow people to set a new type of brain mechanism.

B．They offer inspiration to the development of technology.

C．They suggest ways to teach humans some complex tricks.

D．They enable people to understand more abstract concepts.

35．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Honeybees c an be trained to comprehend “zero”.B．Honeybees can understand much as humans do. C．Honeybees will help to improve AI in the future. D．Honeybees know about the concept of “zero”.

When the news gets around, excitement filled the whole village. Unluckily, my glasses was broken. As a result，I couldn’t go and watch it.

Dear Lucy,

I’m planning to participate in the English Speech Contest to be held in our school next week. The topic is about “We Are All Dream Chasers”. I am writing to ask you to do me a favor.

To improve my spoken English and my skill in making public speeches, I want to

grasp this great opportunity. I’ve finished my draft and I am wondering if you can help me polish the language and solve problems in my pronunciation as well. Is it possible for me to call on you at 3 p. m. this Saturday in your office? I know you have a busy schedule and I’d appreciate it if you could consider it.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

M: Hi, Sara. How’s your speech for Professor Grey’s class next Monday?

M: Why should you? What’s going on?

W: That’s great, Nick. What about Friday afternoon, then?

M: That’s possible. But I have to speak to Dr. Li about that, and you should also talk to the students about the change. W: Oh, yes. I’ll certainly do that.

W: Hello, welcome to this week’s “People You Meet”. Today, we present to you Mark Leach, an information officer in London.

M: Hi, everyone. My name’s Mark Leach. I’m an information officer at the Britain Business Center, which is a tourist office for the British Tourist Board in London. Here, we offer a tourist information service to mainly visitors from overseas. And each year, we have about 500,000 people come to the office.

W: Wow, that’s a large number of people. How do you manage to meet the needs of so many people?

M: I’m in charge of an information team. The team has about ten officers who give tourist information directly over the counter to visitors. We speak a total of thirteen languages altogether.

W: That’s pretty cool! So, what exactly do you do every day?

M: Well, we act as a one-stop shop for anyone who wants to come in. So, it could be that they want a day-trip from London, which is a very popular request. And we can offer suggestions of where to go and how to get there. If people want a two-week tour of Britain, we can plan out exactly where to visit, what roads to take.

W: So, do you have any suggestions for people coming to Britain?

M: A good suggestion is to see as much as you can, but try to come back again and again to see different parts of the country. Because in that way, you’ll really experience it.

Text 10

M: Right! Next, I’ll tell you something about my childhood. Although we have always lived in the same city, my family and I moved a lot since I was old enough to remember. We don’t have our own house. We have always rented them. For eight years, we lived downtown in a large 10-story building with no less than 30 apartments in it. The conditions were very good. But on the other hand, we had a lot of problems. Imagine how difficult and colorless life was for a nine-year-old boy, full of life, having no place to play freely. No sun, no open air, no football games. School’s from 7:30 to noon and the afternoon’s spent in a room studying, reading, or playing indoor games with a friend or two. No outdoor activities because the streets were too dangerous, and the parents much too afraid to let a young boy go out. How I wished for the weekends to come. I could then burst out with joy and happiness when we went out for a visit to some friends or relatives, a picnic, or even a car ride. I think that’s one of the reasons why I became such a strong nature lover.
