Thiscan be especially true for children. They are recovering from a long-term illness in hospital or at home, so they may feel lonely since they are away from their friends and classmates. Now, a small robot may help these children. The robot goes to school instead of them. Through the robot, the children can hear what their teachers and friends say. They can also take part in the classroom activities at home or on the hospital bed.4The robot is called AVI. It goes to school for the sick child. And the child's school friends must help to make the robot move. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot at the child's desk.Dolva, one of AVI's inventors, explains how the robot works. She says, "The robot sits at the child's desk in the classroom, and the child at home or in the hospital uses a tablet or a phone to start it , control its movement by touching the screen, and talk through it, With speakers, microphones and cameras, the robot becomes the eyes, the ears and the voice of the child at school. " Moreover, AVI is designed to be tough . It would not be easily broken even falling from a desk. Inside AV1 there is a small, computer connected to a 4G network. AVI is large and looks like a human. Dolva thinks this is important because in this way, it would be easier for the robot to become a friend of the children.Now the robot has come into the market. Hopefully, AVI will help some children feel less lonely while they are away from the class.A.B.C.D.The robot AVI can help the children .recover from a long-term illness very soonsee their teachers and friends at any timehave classroom activities and do homework for themjoin in classroom activities at home or on the hospital bed（1）A.B.C.D.The underlined word "it " in Paragraph 3 refers to .the deskthe tabletthe robotthe phone（2）A.B.C.D.Which of the following statements is NOT true?AVI is big in size and looks like a human.AVI has cameras, speakers, and microphones.AVI has the same eyes, ears and voices as children.AVI has a computer inside which is connected to a 4G network.（3）A.B.C.D.The underlined word "tough " in Paragraph 3 probably means .strongcleverfriendlyhelpful（4）A.B.C.Which is the best title for this passage?AVI, an Illness DoctorAVI, a Helpful FriendAVI, a Smart Student（5）D.AVI, a Helpful TeacherMy name was Robinson, and I was born in 632, in England. My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job, and live a .quiet,pleasant life. But I wanted adventures and an exciting life."I want to be a sailor and go to sea" , I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this. "Please don't go." they said, "You won't be happy. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life." And because I love them, I tried to forget about the sea.But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. He said to me, "We are sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us? "On September 1st, 1651, we sailed for London.But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and very afraid. "Oh, I don't want to die!" I cried, "If I live, I will go home and never go to sea again!"The next day the wind stopped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again."Well, " My friend laughed, "How do you feel now? The wind wasn't too bad.""What! " I cried. "It was a terrible storm.""Oh, that wasn't a storm, " my friend answered, "just a little wind. Forget it, come and have a drink."After a few drinks with my friend, I felt better. I forgot about the danger, and decided not to go home. I didn't want my friend and family to laugh at me!I stayed in London for some time, but I still wanted to go to the sea. So I went to the sea for the second time to Guinea in Africa.Everything went well at first, but I was very ill again. Then when we were near the Canary Islands, a Turkish pirate （海盗）ship came after us. After a long, hard fight, they succeeded in capturing us and the ship. They took us to Salle in Morocco. They wanted to sell us as slaves （奴隶）in the market. But in the end, the Turkish captain decided to keep me as his slave. This was a sudden and terrible change in my life.

Life would be so much better if we had the ability to remember things easily. So how can we improve our memory?Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this certainly helps short-term memory, it may not help you to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford tested himself on five prayers （祈祷文）. He had read them aloud every morning for over 25 years, but he found that he could remember no more than three words of them!So what about the right "memory training"? We've all heard about people who can memorize packs of cards by heart. Can anyone learn how to do it? According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory.6One method is to form a mental picture of the things you want to memorize. It may be useful in learning foreign languages. You can create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested later, they were able to remember 90% of them!Besides, ask yourself lots of questions when you try to memorize a large amount of information. It is the best way to form meaningful connections. So, for example, if you were reading about a kind of disease （疾病）, you would ask yourself questions like: "What parts of the body does it influence? " and so on. This is far more useful than just reading and re-reading notes.A.B.C.D.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about repeating things?It helps short-term memory for sure.It helps to remember things for long.It makes remembering prayers easily.It makes remembering things interesting.（1）A.B.C.D.How many right ways of "memory training" are mentioned in the passage?2345（2）A.B.C.D.What can we infer （推断）from the passage?Creating a picture is useful in learning math.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.Inventing a story can help remember all the things.Asking ourselves questions can improve the memory.（3）A.B.C.D.What's the writer's purpose （目的）in writing this passage?To show that people's memory is bad.To introduce some memory problems.To explain some memory experiments.To share some ways of improving memory.（4）A.B.C.D.Where can you most probably find this article?In a diary.In a story book.In a science magazine.In a science fiction.（5）第二节、阅读填空（每小题1分，共5分）A.B.
