Children with nuiism are hard to coniniunicate wilh adults and with other children, but for some reason they can accept these robots."The robots are knee-high and move like children. The school is using them to teaching phonics(读音法) and play cards or memory and imitation(模仿) games with children aged from five to ten.“We do different activities with the robots acting as a model for the children's behaviour. For example, memory games, which get the children to imitate the robots’ movements, can help them become involvedand motivatvd in le arning."

My daughters, 3 and 9, sigh(叹息) when I gently take the iPads away from their laps. One by one, our screens are turned off. We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.Most people in our lives know they will not be able to contact us by using computcre or moblie phones for 24 hours. And so it has gone, every week for three years. W e call it our “Technology Shabbat(科技安息日)" which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2008, when my father was told that hehad got brain cancer. Some days he would have ony one good hour, and I wasn’t willing to be disturb ed when I was with him, so I’d turn off my mobile phone.Soon after, encouraged by National Day of Unplugging(全国断网断电日) on March 1st, my husband and I decided to unplug for one full day every week.During our “Technology Shabbats”, time slows. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive our car or ride our bike. We, with our kids, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals. I feel more balanced. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is my lasting state. The technology we’ve created makes it possible for us to share knowledge and take in carious ideas all over the world. But the technology also take something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking(连接) from website to website or sending messages or e-mailing, we click again, and again, and again until we’ve overloaded(超负荷的).When we rush into the time full of high technology, it's necessary for us to pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go off.I will always remember the most important thing in my family: “Technology Shabbat".32. When is “Techtwhgy Shabbat' in the writer's family?A. Only on Sunday.B. From sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.C. Only on Friday.D. From sunset on Saturday to sunset on Sunday.33.

What do the writers family NOT do during their “Technology Shubbats”?A. They drive their car or r ide bikes for mini-vacations.B. They light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.C. They work in the garden, play board games and cook meals.D. They stay up late at night linking from website to website.35. What's the main idea of this passage?A.

EdinburghBRecently, a professor of philosophy(哲学教授) in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny(便士) they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.Since money is so important to us, we consider those who own a lot of it to be very important. The writer interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is why people regard me so highly. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument(工具) rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.29. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized __________________.A. how important money is in their day-to-day lifeB. how one spends money shows what is important to himC. that money is more important than their philosophy of lifeD. that their understanding of life is more important than money30. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?A. He does not feel that he is well educated.B. He does not think that he is a very important person.C. He does not think that being rich is worth so much attention.D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.31. Which of the following might the writer DISAGREE?A. Money is important in modern society.B. The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.C. Wealth(财富) will surely bring the owner happiness.D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.CTiger Mom,You’ve been criticized(批评) a lot since your book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, came out. One problem is that some people don’t get your humor. They think you’re serious a bout all things and Lulu and I are suffering a lot from such a strict mother. That is not true.But for real, it’s not their fault. No outsider can know what our family is really like. They don’t hear us laughing over each other’s jokes. They don’t see us eating our hamburgers with fried rice. They don’t know how much fun we have when the six of us —dogs included —squeeze into one bed and argue about what movies to download from Netflix.I admit it: Having you as a mother was no tea party. There we re some play dates I wish I’d gone to and some piano camps I wish I’d got away from. But now that I’m 18 and about to leave the tiger den(穴), I’m glad you and Daddy raised me the way you did.A lot of people have accused you of producing robot kids who c an’t think for themselves. Well, I came to the opposite conclusion: your strict parenting made me more independent(独立的).Everybody’s talking about the birthday cards we once made for you, which you refused to take because they weren’t good enough. Funny how some people believe that Lulu and I will feel hurt for life. But let’s face it: It took me 30 seconds; I didn’t put my heart into it. That’s why, when you rejected it, I didn’t feel hurt at all.There’s one more thing: I have come to understand what i t really means to live a meaningful life to the fullest. To me, it’s about knowing that you’ve tried your best, body and mind. You feel it when the piano piece you’ve practiced for days and hours finally comes to life beneath your fingertips. You feel it when you do something on your own that you never thought you could. And for that, Tiger Mom, thank you.Yours,Sophia32. In the writer’s opinion, why do some people criticize her mother?A. They don’t know what her family is really like.B. They have a different culture.C. They aren’t strict with their children.D. They don’t have a good sense of humor.33. The passage te lls us her mother’s strict parenting raised the writer to be _________.A. a robot kidB. a kid with no play datesC. a kid uninterested in the pianoD. an independent thinker34. Which of the following sentences is Wrong ?A. Sophia is thankful for what her strict mother has made herB. Sophia has always been disturbed by tea parties.C. Sophia is satisfied with her parents’ way of raising her.D. Tiger Mom was blamed for rejecting her daughters’ birthday cards.35.The underlined words “it” in the last paragraph refer to_________.A. Making personal achievementsB. Having lived your life at 110 percentC. Practicing piano piecesD. Doing something on your own四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。

Here we've got some tips for you．Tip 1Be KindRemember to be kind to yourself．You can do simple things to take care of yourself，like gettingenough sleep to make yourself energetic．If you don't do like that，you will not bring anything good to anyone else．When you decide to show more kindness to yourself and to others，life changes quickly in a better way．Tip 2Be EncouragingIt's amazing what a kind word or touch can do．When I was a kid，I went to a lot of schools．It always made me scared，and I was very nervous and unsure of myself．One time，a teacher touched my head and said，smiling，"Don't worry﹣you'll have a good time with us in this classroom．" I still remember my teacher's words．All of us may come across some trouble in our life，and a bit of encouragement can be remembered for years．Tip 3When my sister and I were kids，my mum didn't have a car and our school was a 30﹣minute walk．Our neighbor offered to drive us to school when she dropped her son off，and that saved my mother a lot of time．Giving help to others can bring you happiness．When thinking about how to become a better person，remember that small changes are also important．But "be kind to yourself" comes first．As the old saying goes，"You can't pour from an empty cup．" So in order to be a person who can give more love to this world，you have to fall in love with yourself first．（26）The underlined word "It" in Tip 2refers to （指代）．A．going to a lot of schoolsB．getting along with classmatesC．talking with the teacherD．staying in the classroom（27）What can be the best title for Tip 3？A．Be HelpfulB．Be PoliteC．Be OutgoingD．Be Honest（28）The sentence "You can't pour from an empty cup．" in the last paragraph means "．" A．To encourage others，smile to them oftenB．To become a better person，start with small changesC．To give more love to the world，be kind to yourself firstD．To make friends with neighbors，drive their kids to school）The number of the foreigners who work in China has increased greatly during the past ten years．A Canadian called Nikk Mitchell and his team are running after their dreams in China．The team is thinking about mixing the Chinese calligraphy（书法）with the virtual reality（虚拟现实，VR）technology．He set up the company FXG in and now has a team of over 30workers．The company lies in Dream Town．Hangzhou entrepreneurial parks（创业园）that offer free workspaces and other services．Following his dream to discover the world，Mitchell arrived in China in at the age of 18．Six years later．he was amazed by a VR video he saw online，and decided to work in this field．Shortly after，he started studying and found an online community of people who had the same interest．Mitchell is seeing his VR dream come true because China encourages innovation and entrepreneurship （创新和创业）and the government has also provided great support for high﹣tech development．For 28﹣year﹣old Russian Artem Zhdanov，China is also his ideal place to fulfill ambition．After graduating from college，he left his hometown in Siberia and moved to Guangzhou．In recent years，he has built a Russian﹣language news website about China and set up an online store on Taobao．The news website now has 100，000monthly visits，and the products he sells online，such as T﹣shirts，cups，and chopsticks，have become popular among foreigners living in China．His childhood dream was to be a diplomat（外交官）．Now it has been realized in some ways．His website and Taobao store are like bridges connecting foreigners with China．As long as they have ideas and resolve （决心），they can easily build a business here．（29）The correct time order of the following events is．a．Nikk set up the company FXG．b．Nikk was amazed by a VR video．c．Nikk found an online community．d．Nikk got to China at the age of 18．A．a﹣b﹣c﹣dB．d﹣b﹣c﹣aC．c﹣b﹣d﹣aD．d﹣b﹣a﹣c（30）The underlined phrase "fulfill ambition" means ""．A．visit websitesB．achieve dreamsC．do shoppingD．receive education（31）Which of the following can be put at the beginning of the last paragraph？A．Hangzhou has set up entrepreneurial parks to offer service．B．China is an ideal place for foreigners to travel around．C．Guangzhou has become a popular place among Chinese．D．China has offered a good business environment to foreigners．Characters："I"﹣Storyteller Bertie﹣storyteller's husband The White Prince﹣a lion…We never had children of our own﹣just The White Prince﹣and I can tell you，he was enough of a family for anyone．He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would，and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it；but be never did learn how to kill for himself．You can't teach old lions new tricks．He lived on deer mostly，and slept on a sofa in our living room﹣I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom，no matter（无论）how often Bertie asked．You know，I have to draw the line somewhere．Bertie's leg was never cured．When it was bad，he often needed a stick，or me，or the lion to lean on．It pained him a lot，especially on cold and wet days，and he never slept well．On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together，and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites．You know，I've always loved kites．And the lion liked to break them into pieces．The lion never showed any interest in running away，and even if he'd wanted to，the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over．Wherever．Bertie went，he wanted to go too．And if ever Bertie went out in the car，then he'd sit by me in the kitchen，and watch me with those great amber eyes，listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house．The lion was getting older．And he became weak in his legs and could see very little．He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet．When he died，we buried（埋葬）him at the bottom of the hill．Bertie's wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window．I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case（以防）he forgot where the lion was．"I will，but he should get more than a tree．" Bertie said．Bertie was sad for weeks，months after the lion died．There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him．He would sit for hours in his room，or go off on long walks by himself．He seemed so shut away inside himself，so distant（遥远的）．Try as I did．I could not reach him．（Adapted from The Butter fly Lion）（32）What did Bertie's wife mean by saying "I have to draw the line somewhere"？A．She would like the lion to sit by her．B．She didn't expect Bertie to keep the lion．C．She didn't allow the lion to enter their bedroom．D．She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park．（33）Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story？A．He seldom broke kites into pieces．B．He could jump over the park wall．C．He became weak in his legs and eyes．D．He could kill deer or rabbits for himself．（34）What can be inferred（推断）from the story？A．Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion．B．The lion wanted to leave

that wasted food could feed 870million hungry people，which would end world hunger．The people of France wasted 234pounds（磅：重量单位）of food per person，which is much better than some other countries．In the past，France wasn't good at controlling food waste，but now the country takes the lead．A law was made by French government．It made France the first country in the world to prevent supermarkets from throwing away unused food．Now supermarkets of a certain size must donate unused food，or they will face a fine．There are other rules requiring schools to teach students about food sustainability （可持续性）．They also ask companies to report the food waste numbers in their environmental reports．And restaurants should provide take﹣out bags．"These laws make it a standard to reduce waste．" says Marie Mourad，a student in Paris who has written several reports on French food waste．"France is not the country that wastes the least food，but Frenchmen have become the most active because they want to be
