By the time she went to bed, Lisa had already read one of them.Mom said to Lisa the next day, “I think we need to get you your own library card.” “Wow!” cried Lisa. “I’ve always wanted a library card.”The next day after school, Mom took Lisa to the library to get her a card. The lady at the desk asked Mom to fill out a paper and then asked Lisa to print her name. She then told Lisa how many books she could borrow on her card. Lisa could hardly wait to search the many shelves of books. Lisa loved some books about mysteries best of all. She liked to solve the mystery in her head and see if she was right when she got to the end of the story. Her other favorite books were ones that took her to faraway places.Lisa had three books to return the next day and was excited to take out three more. However, when Lisa got to the library, she didn’t have her card. “Oh no!” Lisa said to the lady at the desk. “I can’t find my library card!” “I’m sorry,” said the lady. “I can’t let you take any books without your card.” Lisa left the library, kind of worried.When Lisa got home, Mom told Lisa that a boy came to the house with her library card. “You were lucky that the boy found your card,”said Mom. “You need to be very careful.” “Having a library card is a big responsibility.” Lisa said, “I think I will keep it in my wallet.” Mom said, “Let’s go back to the library and get those books you wanted.” “Sounds great,” said Lisa.When they got to the library, Mom decided to get some books too. While they were in the library, Mom told Lisa the boy that found her card was sitting at the round table.

We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack(缺少) of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to(和……相关) science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer. I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son.I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5:00 p.m. or even 6:00 p.m.. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.8. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. T he writer’s dreams.B. T he writer’s future job.C. Dinner plans.D. Wars around the world.9.

T he writer’s mother gets along very well with the writer.D. T he writer’s mother doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea.10. What does t he underlined word “bemoans” in Par agraph 2 most probably mean?A. Agrees.B. Shouts.C. Complains.D. Smiles.11. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.DTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York---he in compu ters, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s found ation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth t o age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,”Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a remind er”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure(小册子) still on the desk, Tim clicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts(折扣).The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books---reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members (董事)---included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”12. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.13. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.14. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.15. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.EWhether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish(区分) when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond(回应) more appropriately(合适地) to the user.The Jibo robot, which was planned to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver(给出) general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding(提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential(潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robo ts is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different lang uages and make recommendations(推荐) for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction(互动) the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not plann ed to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “W e have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.16. How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.17. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.18. What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant.D. A private nurse.19. What will social robots do according to the last paragraph?A. They will train employees.B. They will be our workmates.C. They will improve technologies.D. They will take the place of workers.20. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing methods for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.第二部分英语知识应用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省深圳市2017-2018学年高一英语上学期期中试题第I卷(选择题，共70分) （请把答案涂在答题卡上）（注意：36—40题的答案请涂在71---75题处。
）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。
AWhen I was about 6, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish but I knew there was little hope, for my family could hardly afford one.On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the backyard. Immediately I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it was n’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I was so disappointed.I thought I hurt my parents because I could see the disappointment on their faces when they noticed my expression. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad because I had made my parents feel that way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.My parents gave me much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out o f love, it doesn’t matter what it actually is. What matters is the love in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money or something else. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs $2 isn’t necessarily any less valuable than one that costs $100 or even more.21. Why did the author smile as he rode the bike?A. He liked it very much.B. He wanted to make his parents happy.C. He realized his birthday wish.D. He could ride as fast as he could.22. According to the author, what is the most important about a gift?A. How much it costs.B. The use of it.C. The love in it.D. How it looks.23. What can we know from the text?A. The parents thought their son wouldn’t like the bike.B. The parents bought other gifts besides the old bike.C. The author will never forget his birthday bike.D. A $100 gift is more valuable than a $2 one.BSuppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia, some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.24. In Mongolia, burping is a way of showing that __________.A. you are impoliteB. you enjoyed the meal prepared by the hostC. your meal was not enoughD. you are friendly with your host25.

The text is probably from a .A. newspaperB. magazineC. notice boardD. web pageDOne of the United States’ social problems is the breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect - they certainly are not, there are increasing more divorces in China - but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is highly respected and worthy of study.Families are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is the dearest to them, the majority would say “family”. And yet, so many Americans spend much more time at work- that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week - than they do with their own families. It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. Average Chinese usually head home right after work，have meals together, and spend time with their familymembers. What’s more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families live together. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is all changing; increasing numbers o f “New Chinese” are working longer hours and spending less time with their families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones, I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between work and family.32. According to the passage, the American family value in the past is that .A. Americans love their families more than their jobsB. Americans often set aside their children’s needsC. Americans have a strong work desireD. American parents place the needs of their children above their own33. What does the author think according to the passage?A. Children living in one-parent families badly need their parents’ love and help.B. Children with one-parent need their parents’ money badly.C. Chinese value whole marriage more than before.D. Work is the dearest to most Chinese.34. It can be concluded from the passage that .A. The breakdown in China will be more serious than that in the U. S.B. Chinese marriage is said to be all perfectC. Today nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce in ChinaD. Americans should reduce their working hours for their famlies35. The main point of the passage is .A. Family plays a very important role in AmericaB. There is something about family for Americans to learn from ChinaC. A proper balance between work and family needs to be found for ChineseD. The Chinese have a proper balance between work and play第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s found ation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth t o age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure(小册子) still on the desk, Timclicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts(折扣).The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books---reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members (董事)---included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”12. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.13. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.14. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.15. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.EWhether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish(区分) when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond(回应) more appropriately(合适地) to the user.The Jibo robot, which was planned to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver(给出) general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding(提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine ortaking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential(潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robo ts is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations(推荐) for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction(互动) the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not planned to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “W e have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.16. How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.17. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.18. What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant.D. A private nurse.19. What will social robots do according to the last paragraph?A. They will train employees.B. They will be our workmates.C. They will improve technologies.D. They will take the place of workers.20. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing methods for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots. 第二部分英语知识应用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?Finding:Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number doctors recommend.Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day---often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most importantly, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.1. What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.2. How often do doctors suggest that people should wash their hands?A. Twice a day.B. Four times a day.C. Three times a day.D. Eight times a day.3. Where does the text probably come from?A. An official document.B. A guide book.C. A popular magazine.D. A book review.BAfter four silent years, British singer Adele Adkins finally introduced herself to the world again with Hello, the opening song from her third album 25, which came out on November 20, 2015.Although Adele is a very successful singer now, music wasn’t always what she saw herself doing. At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.“I wanted to fix people’s hearts,” she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.“Adele didn’t go to medica l school, but many would agree that she still has healing（治愈）powers. Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele,” said The Telegraph. “She writes a pop dia ry, sharing the simple secrets of her heart.”Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label（标签）that she would spend “four or five years” making her next album. She told magazine. “I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21.”Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world,” Adele told i-D. “So I live a low-key life for my fans.”4. What does the text mainly tell us?A. The secrets of Adele’s success in music.B. The popularity of Adele’s album 25.C. The reason for Adele’s becoming a singer.D. The healing powers of Adele’s music.5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Adele wasn’t interested in music at first.B. Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.C. Adele wasn’t good at music at the beginning.D. Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.6. Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?A. To win the Grammy Award.B. To live a low-key and real life.C. To guarantee the music quality.D. To share the secrets as a musician.7. What can we know about Adele?A. She has kept a diary since childhood.B. Her works are based on the real life.C. She moved to the countryside before 2012.D. Her album Hello will come out on November 20.CGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little sta r” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a much better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is considered a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are very easy to remember.9. How does the author explain the law of overlearning?A. By presenting research finding.B. By setting down general rules.C. By making a comparison.D. By using examples.10. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Commonly accepted rules.B. The multiplication tables.C. Things easily forgotten.D. School subjects.11. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It’s helpful only in a limited way.B. It causes failure in college exams.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases st udents’ learning interest.DA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if the person knows password. What’s more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there’s enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. “It could also be applied to a touch screen, for instance,” Dai says.“Then smart phones and notepads could harvest energy from the action of some one typing or drawing.”“Future work might make the keyboard even more useful” Dai adds.“A later design might build tiny capacitors（电容器）onto the nanowires,” he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then power LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark.Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. “If a company decides to fund（投资）its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years,” says Wang.12. How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?A. By checking the right user’s passwords.B. By sending alarms to a computer program.C. By recording information about the typing pattern.D. By matching the typing pattern to the right user.13. Why are there many nanowires on the surface of the keys?A. To make the keys beautiful.B. To make the keys smooth.C. To help produce power.D. To improve the speed of typing.14. What’s Dai’s attitude to the new keyboard?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.15. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Keyboard Made of NanowiresB. A New Keyboard Powered by TypingC. A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by YouD. A New Keyboard’s Future第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Ci nderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning,on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a much better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is considered a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are very easy to remember.9. How does the author explain the law of overlearning?A. By presenting research finding.B. By setting down general rules.C. By making a comparison.D. By using examples.10. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Commonly accepted rules.B. The multiplication tables.C. Things easily forgotten.D. School subjects.11. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It’s helpful on ly in a limited way.B. It causes failure in college exams.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students’ learning interest.DA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if the person knows password. Wha t’s more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there’s enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. “It could also be applied to a touch screen, for instance,” Dai says.“Then smart phones andnotepads could harvest energy from the action of someone typing or dr awing.”“Future work might make the keyboard even more useful” Dai adds.“A later design might build tiny capacitors（电容器）onto the nanowires,” he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then power LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark.Zhonglin Wang is a codesigner of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. “If a company decides to fund（投资）its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years,” says Wang.12. How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?A. By checking the right user’s passwords.B. By sending alarms to a computer program.C. By recording information about the typing pattern.D. By matching the typing pattern to the right user.13. Why are there many nanowires on the surface of the keys?A. To make the keys beautiful.B. To make the keys smooth.C. To help produce power.D. To improve the speed of typing.14. What’s Dai’s attitude to the new keyboard?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.15. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Keyboard Made of NanowiresB. A New Keyboard Powered by TypingC. A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by YouD. A New Keyboard’s Future第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She then told Lisa how many books she could barrow on her card Lisa could hardly wait to search the many shelves of books. Lisa loved some books about mysteries best of all. She liked to solve the mystery in her head and see if she was right when she got to the end of the story.

We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. Sh e’ll talk about my lack(缺少) of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointmen t, I don’t want to do any job related to(和……相关）science, either.

In April 1988, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation（基金会）that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age fi ve in the singer’s hometown of Sevier, Tennessee .“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk,“as a reminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure（小册子）still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts（折扣）。
