A particular kind of but terfly. that is: the red admiral.It’s not unusual to have one land on you. But the first of these butterflies in my experience lit on my shoulderat an unusual location, for an unusually long lime. It was a July afternoon. He stayed on me for 30 minutes, even while I stopped at a photo shop and asked to have my picture taken with him. People smiled and spoke softly us they watched the butterfly. They seemed to sense that something special was happening.I thought that was the end of it. But when I returned home the following day, my wife exclaimed. “He’s back!” For more than a month, the butterfly-that I now called Poppy-appeared whenever I returned home before dark, making 25 visits altogether, I had never seen this species before Now they seemed to everywhere.For the next two summers 1waited in vain for more visits. Then on July 4, 2010, during the celebration of my mother-in-law’s birthday, two red admiral s appeared in her garden. They landed on my shoulders. We took pictures. His landings continued well into August. Then on Aug. 16 last year, a butterfly made the most auspicious（吉利的）arrival of all, t wo days before our daughter’s w edding. The day before the wedding. I sat near the car. One red admiral landed in front of me and opened and dosed its wings for about 10 minutes.My neighbor Liz said that the butterfly was trying to tell me to stop working late and to pay attention to what’s really important in l ife.” I’ve been couched by the reactions of friends and neighbors as well as strangers charmed by my butterfly encounters. What does it all mean? Seven years ago. After the first butterfly landed on me. I thought that a small impossibility had occurred. But given all that has happened since. I feel as though I*vc made a connection. I’m being blessed by butterflies.21．What is the text mainly about? ___A．Butterflies are friends of the author.B．Some butterflies enjoy living with the author.C．Butterflies are blessing the author.D．Some butterflies enjoy visiting the author.22．What can we know from the second paragraph? ___A．The first visit of the butterflies was not noticed by the people around.B．People around felt amazed at the visiting of the butterflies.C．People knew the special relationship between the author and the butterflies.D．The author look u photo of the butterfly in the photo shop.23．What do we know about the visits of the butterflies? ___A．It is common that butterflies land on a person.B．the butterflies visited the author every summer.C．The butterflies came to remind the author of important events.D．The visits of the butterflies happened when there was something important.BOf all the problem facing modern astronome rs. Perhaps the most fascinating is: “Can intelligent life exist elsewhere?” Since the Earth is an unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star. It would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe. But to obtain proof is difficult.The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds, the bodies in the solar system appear to be unsuitable for advancedlife forms. The Moon may he ruled out al once; it has hardly any atmosphere. The surface temperature of Venus is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. Mars with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals. The story of the attractive Martians has long since been given up.Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for communicating with the supposed people on Mare. In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree patterns in Siberia, so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably.Following up his idea, the Austrian scientist Karl Liltrow proposed digging very wide ditches in the Sahara, triangular in patterns, and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that, when lit, the ditches would present Martian observers with a “flaming triangle” which would show the existence here of intelligent minds. Even better were the plans of Charles Cross, a French writer of the 1870, who wanted to build u large mirror to reflect the sun’s rays and c oncentrate them on the surface of Mars, thereby making a vast burning-glass. By swinging the mirror around, Cross explained it would he practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand. For many years he bombarded（炮轰）the French government with literature about this plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown.24．What is the purpose of the author writing the passage? ____A．To dedicate his interest in the universe.B．To introduce the different ways to communicate with Martians.C．To indicate there may be other intelligent beings in the universe.D．To confirm we humans arc the only intelligent beings in the universe.25．Which can we infer from the passage? ____A．There is unlikely any life on the Venus.B．There are Martians living on the Mars.C．The idea of a “flaming triangle” showed the existence of life on earth.D．It is difficult to prove there are other intelligent beings in the universe.26．It seems that Mars ____.A．May have some vegetable lifeB．May he inhabited by attractive MartiansC．Can have to life at allD．May have both vegetable and animal life27．How did Charles Cross feel when the government didn’t do anything to respond to his idea? ____ A．Worried.B．Surprised.C．Shameful.D．Discontented.CMany Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city’s smoggy air. Esp ecially when it reaches critical pollution levels, but one local entrepreneur decided（hat canning and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China* Dominic Johnson-Hill. A British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 souvenir shop, decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.“I’d seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia, so I thought it was time to push business the oth er way,” the entrepreneur said.“They’re perfect gifts! What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing? A roast duck? A Plastered T-shirt? These cans are light and portable, so you can just imagine someone’s face when they unwrap it for Christnus.”The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of iconic city landmarks as well as a sharp description of the contents : “ a unique mix of nitrogen, oxygen and some other st uff”. The amusing souvenirs cost 28 RMB US$ 4）and are available at the Plastered 8shop, as well as on its online shop. Bui if you’re actually considering buying some you’d better ask the shop, as they are actually flying off the shelves. Johnson-Hill told ruptly that his shop is selling hundreds o（Beijing air cans every day）.One thing that’s not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing, as the cam are labeled as “Made in Shenzhen”. There’s a big chance that’s just Plastered humor, as they’ also list “Chocking Hazard” and May have come into contact with nuts” as warnings.28．What inspired Dominic Johnson-Hill to sell canned Beijing air? ___A．People are going far away to breather the smoggy air.B．Some local entrepreneur had made profit from filing this poor quality air.C．Selling canned Beijing air is a hit.D．Canned fresh air is well sold in China.29．What will most possibly the canned Beijing air be used for? ___A．Bringing friends health and joy.B．Playing jokes on holidays.C．Bettering the air quality.D．Helping the residents in Beijing.30．What can’t we see on the tins? ___A．The pictures of some famous buildings in Beijing.B．The description of the contents.C．Some warnings to the users.D．The advantages of the products.31．What doe s the underlined part “flying off the shelves" mean? ____A．Out of order.B．Difficult to hold in one place.C．Kind of best sellers.D．Enough in store.DAgricultural scientists are working to develop crop plants that use less water than grown. Almost sixty percent of the world’s freshwater withdrawals from rivers’ lakes water resources go towards irrigating fields. Scientists arc using biotechnology as well as breeding（繁殖）methods to develop water-saving crops to feed a growing world.Thomas Tommy Carter is a plant scientist in North Carolina working for the Agricultural Research Service in the United States Department of Agriculture. He leads Team Drought, a group of researchers at five universities. They have been using conventional breeding methods to develop soybeans that can grow well under dry conditions. Tommy started working on drought-resistant soybeans in 1981．His research has taken him as far as China, where soybeans have been grown for thousands of years.“Farmers in the United States* however, have grown soybeans for only about a century.” H lummy Carter says, “the soybeans they grow arc for the most part genetically similar.” More differences cou ld better protect crops against climate changes that can reduce production. Those changes include water shortages which could result from global warming. The Agriculture Department has a soybean germplasm（胚种）collection, a collection of genetic material passed from one generation to the next. Members of Team Drought studied more than 2 500 examples from the collection. They looked at those from Asia and searched for germplasms that could keep plants from weakening and wilting（枯萎）during hot, dry summers in the United States.Tommy says they found only five, but these slow wilting lines can produce more than normal soybeans under drought conditions. The team is now doing field tests. The first breeding line is expected to be released next year for use by private seed companies and public soybean breeders.Scientists are also working on other plants that either use less water or use it better or both.32．What are farming scientists doing to ensure feeding a growing world? ___A．They are using latest irrigating technology to increase the production.B．hcy arc planting soybean germplasms in other countries.C．I hey arc combining different ways to produce anti-drought crops.D．They are importing more drought-resistant soybeans from China.33．What can we learn from he passage? ____A．Soybeans have been grown for a much longer time in China than in the United States.B．Team Drought is a group of scientists from different countries.C．Gemiplasms have been found to keep 2 500 plants from weakening and willing during hot, dry summers. D．The first breeding line has produced more than normal soybeans under drought conditions.34．What will the writer most probably write about next? ____A．The reasons why climate changes have taken place.B．The conclusion that less water is needed for soybeans.C．More information about Tommy Carter’s new soybeans.D．Other crop plants that use less water.35．Which of the following can he the best title of the passage? ____A．Conventional methods of plants breedingB．Efforts to develop anti-drought plantsC．The history of soybean growingD．Effort to save water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,选项中有两项为多余选项.For many of us. the weekend is a chance to catch up on some much needed rest, but studies have shown that 36 He re’s how oversleeping, overdrinking and lazy Sundays can affect your weekday sleep cycle.You’r e sltrping muchIs there such a thing as too much sleep? 37 .

Thirty-five parents of the people say they agreed with this. They think their children can receive a better education. But 65％of the people are not in favor of this, because they think study abroad costs over ten times as many money as studying in China. However, children are too young to take care of them. What’s more, they might form bad habits. In my opinion, because the children are old enough and have the ability to live on their own, they can go abroad for further study.

长沙市一中2017届高三月考试卷(五）第二部分：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）ASince 2007 I've developed a friendship with a butterfly. A particular kind of butterfly. that is:the red admoral.It's not unusual to have one land on you. But the first of these hutterflies in my experience lit on my shoulder at an unusual location, for an unusually long lime. It was a July afternoon. He stayed on me for 30 minutes, even while I stopped at a photo shop and asked to have my picture taken with him. People smiled and spoke soltly us they watched the butterfly. They seemed to sense that something special was happening.I thought that was the end of it. But when I returned home the following day, my wife exclaimed.“He's back!”For more than a month, the butterfly-that I now called Poppy-appeared whenever I returned home before dark, making 25 visits altogether, I had never seen this species before Now they seemed to everywhere.For the next two summers 1 waited in vain for more visits. Then on July 4，2010，during the celebration of my mother-in-law's birthday, two red admirals appeared in her garden. They landed on my shoulders. We took pictures. His landings continued well into August. Then on Aug. 16 last year, a butterfly made the most auspicious (吉利的）arrival of all,two days before our daughter's wedding. The day before the wedding. I sat near the car. One red admiral landed in front of me and opened and dosed its wings for about 10 minutes.My neighbor Liz said that the butterfly was trying to tell me to stop working late and to pay attention to what's really important in life.” I've been Couched by the reactions of friends and neighbors as well as strangers charmed by my butterfly encounters. What does it all mean? Seven years ago. after the first butterfly landed on me. 1 thought that a small impossibility had occurred. But given all that has happened since. I feel as though I*vc made a connection. I m being blessed by butterflies.21. What is the text mainly about?A. Butterflies are friends of the author.B. Some butterflies enjoy living with the author.C. Butterflies are blessing the author.D. Some butterflies enjoy visiting the author.22. What can we know from the second paragraph?A. The first visit of the butterflies was not noticed by the people around.B. People around felt amazed at the visiting of the butterflies.C. People knew the special relationship between the author and the butterflies.D. The author look u photo of the butterfly in (he photo shop.23. What do we know about the visits of the buitterflies?A It is common that buitterflies land on a person.B.the buitterflies visited the author every summer.C.The butterflies came to remind the author of important events.D. The visits of the butterflies happened when there was something important.BOf all the problem facing modern astronomers. perhaps the most fascinating is：“Can intelligent life exist elswhere ?”Since the Earth is an unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star. it would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe.But to obtain proof is difficult.The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds, the bodies in the solar system appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms. The Moon may he ruled out al once；it has hardly any atmosphere. The surface temperature of Venus is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide- Mars with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals. The story of the attractive Martians has long since been given up.Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for communicating with the supposed people on Mare. In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree patterns in Siberia, so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably.Following up (his idea, the Austrian scientist Karl Liltrow proposed digging very wide ditches in the Sahara, triangular in patterns, and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that, when lit，the ditches would present Martian observers with a “flaming triangle”which would show the existence here of intelligent minds. Even better were the plans of Charles Cross，a French writer of the 1870、，who wanted to build u large mirror to reflect the sun's rays and concentrate them on the surface of Mars, thereby making a vast burning-glass. By swinging the mirror around，Cross explained it would he practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand. For many years he bombarded (炮轰) the French government with literature about this plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown.24. What is the purpose of the author writing the passage?A. To dedicate his interest in the universe.B. To introduce the different ways to communicate with Martians.C. To indicate there may be other intelligent beings in the universe.D. To confirm we humans arc the only intelligent beings in the universe.25. Which can we infer from the passage?A. There is unlikely any life on the Venus.B. There are Martians living on the Mars.C.The idea of a “flaming triangle” showed the existence of life on earth.D.It is difficult to prove there are other intelligent beings in the universe.26.It seems that Mars .A.may have some vegetable lifeB.may he inhabited by attractive MartiansC. can have to life at allD. may have both vegetable and animal life27.How did Charles Cross feel when the government didn't do anything to respond to his idea?A Worried. B. Surprised. C.Shameful. D. Discontented.CMany Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city‟s smoggy air. esp ecially when it reaches critical pollution levels，but one local entrepreneur decided (hat canning and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China* Dominic Johnson-Hill. a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 souvenir shop, decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.“I'd seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia, so I thought it was time to push business the other way，” the entrepreneur said. “They're perfect gifts! What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing? A roast duck? A Plastered T-shirt? These cans are light and portable, so you can just imagine someone's face when they un wrap it for Christnus. ”The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of iconic city landmarks as well as a sharp description of the contents：“a unique mix of nitrogen, oxygen and some other st uff”. The amusing sou venirs cost 28 RMB (US$4) and are available at the Plastered 8 shop, as well as on its online shop. Bui if you‟re actually considering buying some* you'd better ask the shop,as they are actually flying off the shelves. Johnson-Hill told Ruptly that his shop is selling hundreds o( Beijing air cans every day.One thing that's not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing, as the cam are labeled as “Made in Shenzhen”. There's a big chance that's just Plastered 8 humor, as they …also list “Chocking Hazard” and May have come into contact with nuts” as warnings.28. What inspired Dominic Johnson-Hill to sell canned Beijing air?A People are going far away to breather the smoggy air.B.Some local entrepreneur had made profit from filing this poor quality air.C. Selling canned Beijong air is a hit.D.Canned fresh air is well sold in China.29. What will most possibly the canned Beijing air be used for?A. Bringing friends health and joy.B. Playing jokes on holidays.C. Bettering the air quality.D. Helping the residents in Beijing.30. What can't we see on the tins?A.The pictures of some famous buildings in Beijing.B. The description of the contents.C. Some warnings to the users.D. The advantages of the products.31. What doE s the underlined part “flying off the shelves" mean?A.Out of order.B. Difficult to hold in one place.C.Kind of best sellers.D. Enough in store.DAgricultural scientists are working to develop crop plants that use less water than grown. Almost sixty percent of the world's freshwater withdrawals from rivers‟ lakes water resources go towards irrigating fields. Scientists arc using biotechnology as well as breeding(繁殖）methods to develop water-saving crops to feed a growing world.Thomas Tommy Carter is a plant scientist in North Carolina working for the Agricultural Research Service in the United States Department of Agriculture. He leads Team Drought, a group of researchers at five universities. They have been using conventional breeding methods to develop soybeans that can grow well under dry conditions. Tommy started working on drought-resistant soybeans in 1981. His research has taken him as far as China，where soybeans have been grown for thousands of years.“Farmers in the United States* however, have grown soybeans for only about a century.”H lummy Carter says, “the soybeans they grow arc for the most part genetically similar.”More differences could better protect crops against climate changes that can reduce production. Those changes include water shortages which could result from global warming. The Agriculture Department has a soybean germplasm(胚种)collection, a collection of genetic material passed from one generation to the next. Members of Team Drought studied more than 2,500 examples from the collection. They looked at those from Asia and searched for germplasms that could keep plants from weakening and wilting (枯萎）during hot, dry summers in the United States.Tommy says they found only five, but these slow wilting lines can produce more than normal soybeans under drought conditions.The team is now doing field tests. The first breeding line is expected to be released next year for use by private seed companies and public soybean breeders.Scientists are also working on other plants that either use less water or use it better or both.32. What are farming scientists doing to ensure feeding a growing world?A.They are using latest irrigating technology to increase the production.B. hcy arc planting soybean germplasms in other countries.C. I hey arc combining different ways to produce anti-drought crops.D.They are importing more drought-resistant soybeans from China.33. What can we learn from (he passage?A. Soybeans have been grown for a much longer time in China than in the United States.B. Team Drought is a group of scientists from different countries.C. Gemiplasms have been found to keep 2,500 plants from weakening and willing during hot, dry summers.D. The first breeding line has produced more than normal soybeans under drought conditions.34. What will the writer most probably write about next?A. The reasons why climate changes have taken place.B. The conclusion that less water is needed for soybeans.C. More information about Tommy Carter‟s new soybeans.D. Other crop plants that use less water.35. Which of the following can he the best title of the passage?A. Conventional methods of plants breedingB. Efforts to develop anti-drought plantsC. The history of soybean growingD. Effort to save water第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）For many of us. the weekend is a chance to catch up on some much needed rest, but studies have shown that 36 .

The British Council has been contributing to the development of UK-China cultural industry by delivering a series of meetings, forums and training in China on museums, theater management, cultural heritage, gaming and fashion These dialogues receive support from the China Prosperity.Fund, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Five experts from five British cultural institutions took part in this dialogue: Historic England, Bath、world Heritage Site World Heritage UK, the Institute of Conservation, Hadrian’s Wall world Heritage Site, and Oxford Preservation Trust More than 50 Chinese experts from all over the country were invited.

More than 9million candidates sit the test, and it enjoys a high degree of credibility（可信度）.The reform is based on two priorities: giving students more choices, and giving universities more power to select prospective students that meet their requirements.It has three goals: improving fairness in education and creating equal opportunities to enter prestigious universities;- 6 - / 21allowing different universities to select the“right”students: and guiding reform in basic education that will foster the rounded development of students.The reason that the reform is being carried out is that the current exam does not reflect the changing reality. The gaokao used to select a small number of elites to enter the higher education system. In 1977. the first year it resumed after being suspended during the “cultural revolution” （1966--76）, less than 5percent of the 5．7million candidates were accepted by colleges. By 2020. The gross enrollment rate for universities will hit 50 percent. according to the government’s plan.Since it is easier to enter a university now, universities of different levels and types should target students with different talents It is neither fair nor scientific to select different students using the same test.Furthermore, great progress has been made in China’s system of basic education, meaning the current gaokao cannot make a comprehensive evaluation of students’perform 80.The other reason to carry out the reform is that the test’s credibility has come under attack due to some people misusing its preferential policies. For instance, in the past, students who were excellent in arts or sports but had lower test scores were allowed to enter university, as it increased diversity on campus. However, in some cases, this policy was manipulated（操作）to allow students who had no such talent to enter university despite having poor scores·It takes time to evaluate any reform and the Ministry of Education is paying great attention to this.

It sounds like a description of some of the basic fundamentals of yoga. But it could also be applied to singing. Some scientists say that singing is just as healthy as yoga.The London Telegraph reports that researchers at Sweden’s University of Gothenburg have found that the heartbeats of choir members begin to synchronize（同步）. resulting in a calming effect on the mind and body that has the same health benefits as the ancient practice of yoga “Song is a form of regular, controlled breathing, since breathing out occurs on the song phrases and breathing in takes place between these,” Dr. Bjorn Vickhoff, who led the study. Told the paper. “It gives you pretty much the same effect as yoga breathing. It helps you relax, and there are indications that it does provide a heart benefit.”To get their results, researchers had a group of teenagers perform three singing exercises: chanting, humming and singing a hymn. Of coarse, the study could not make a direct comparison of the overall physical benefits of yoga compared with singing. After all, there are a variety of yoga practices. many of which place an equal, if not greater, focus on physical development as they do on breathing or meditative（冥想的, 沉思的）exercises.Still, there seems to be an abundance of evidence indicating that singing is healthy. Including the simple fact that singing has been shown to release endorphins. Meaning that those who take part in the activity generally tend to- 8 - / 21feel better In addition, studies at Australia’s University of Newcastle have found that singing lowers levels of depression and anxiety in the elderly and improves a general sense of well-being for those of any age.Those who sing regularly also breathe more efficiently. That sounds fine and good for everyday living. But the Telegraph notes that a 2012 study by Cardiff University found that cancer patients who sang in a choir had a greater respiratory capacity（呼吸能力）, which benefited their treatment and recovery.Despite the promising results from the Gothenburg study, Vickhoff isn’t telling people to roll up their yoga mats just yet, “The medical effects need investigating further.” he said.28．What is the main idea of the passage’ ___A．Singing is just as healthy as yoga.B．It tells US the basic fundamentals of yoga.C．Singing gives nothing but the heart benefit.D．People are supposed to sing more rather than do yoga.29．Why couldn’t the study make a direct comparison between singing and yoga according to the third paragraph? ___A．Because singing is all but a mental practice.B．Because singing has nothing in common with yoga.C．Because yoga practices only focus on physical development.D．Because yoga practices serve more purposes besides physical development.30．According to the passage which of the following about singing is NOT mentioned? ____A．Doing meditative exercise.B．Improving the sense of well-being.C．Feeling relaxed and providing a heart benefit.D．Decreasing the levels of anxiety and frustration in the elderly.31．What does Vickhoff mean in the last paragraph? ___A．The advantages of singing are obvious.- 9 - / 21B．Doing yoga is not more efficient than singing songs.C．The medical effects of singing still remain to be seen.D．Singing songs is no more beneficial to health than doing yoga.DRobots have at last one unfair advantage over human workers: they do not pay income tax.Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and the world’s richest man, thinks that should change.

And, you know, taxation is certainly a better way to handle it than just banning some elements of it.”The idea of using taxes to support people put out of work by automation has been catching on in the tech world. but Mr Gates went further. Pushing for a direct levy on robots that would match what human workers pay."Right now, the human worker who does, say $50 000 worth of work in a factory. that income is taxed and you get income tax, social security tax, all those things, " he said. "If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you’d think that we’d tax the robot at a similar level.”"The extra money should be used to retrain the people the robots have replaced," Mr Gates said. with "communities where this has a particularly big impact" first in line for support.Some politicians have also stood by Mr Gates. Hamon. France’s Socialist candidate in this year’s presidential elections, has called for a tax on robots to fund a minimum income for all.32．Why does Bill Gates think robots should pay income ____A．To gain more profit.B．To retrain more people.C．To reduce the speed of new technology.- 10 - / 21D．To stop the development of new technology.33．What does the underlined word "levy" in the third paragraph most probably mean? _____A．Debt.B．Tax.C．Allowance.D．Fee.34．What Call be implied from the passage? _____A．Automation will put fewer people out of work.B．The explicit position that Bill Gates keeps to was banned.C．There might be no better way than taxation in handling innovation.D．It’s acknowledged that slowing the advance of new technologies is a mast.35．What is the best title of the passage? _____A．The advantages of the robotsB．Robots to pay income tax as wellC．The adoption of new technology in the futureD．Bill Gates·co-founder of Microsoft and the world’s richest man第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0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.选项中有两项为多余选项.Sometimes when we are learning English, it can be really frightening to start speaking it with other people.

Complete the diagram. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage.Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answerFood makes us feel go od, but some people eat when they aren’t really hungry and eat to simply feel good. This kind of eating habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.A child’s eating habits can develop right from childhood. As we know, a baby cries out if he doesn’t get milk at the usual time of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a child’s mouth without trying to find outif the child is really hungry. In fact, children may cry for other reasons. Even as children grow up and start going to school, parents sometimes give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhappy. As the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.Therefo re, they’d like to eat an emotional snack when they have the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by others, they will want something to eat. After having the snack, they feel a lot better.Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your children from emotional eating, you should satisfy your child’s emotional needs in the best possible way. This includes spending time with your child every day, taking an interest in his school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home, etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit. And always remember love and care is the key to helping your child out of trouble and grow up happily.Title: 36 in Young ChildrenSection E (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school.I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FALL in more than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not until my dad found about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on”. It hit me like a roundhouse kick (回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was shocked out of my bones.I couldn’t comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college.I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.When I went back to col lege, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I’m about to lose or give up. It reminds me thatI can do it.46. What kind of life did the author live in the engineering school?
