第I卷（选择题，共70分）

一、阅读理解（共20小题，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，然后从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle…They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we

thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的)work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.

1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_____.

A. listening to skilled people's advice.

D. Let children mark their own work

3. According to the writer, teachers in school should _____

A. allow children to learn from each other

B. point out children's mistakes whenever found

C. correct children's mistakes as soon as possible

D. give children more book knowledge

A. different from learning other skills

B. the same as learning skills

C. more important than other skills

D. not really important skills

B

In some science –fiction movies, robots refuse to die no matter how people fight back（反击） .Now, it has turned into a fact. For the first time ,researchers have created a robot that can take a beating （挨打）and keep on working . Developed by scientists from Cornell University and the University of Vermont ,the new robot looks like a spider with four legs.

Until now ,even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when damaged. That’s because its computer doesn’t know how to operate the machine after its shape has been changed.

To solve this problem ,the scientists put some sensors（传感器）into the machine .The sensors can read how the machine is working and send signals to the computer.

Using this information ,the system follows a new way to tell the machine’s shape at any given moment .The computer considers a lot of possible next steps ,and it calculates how best to move the robot forward the longest possible distance ,before trying to move it again.

The new technology is a major advance in robotics （机器人技术）,scientists say. It may someday help scientists create better artificial arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. The new knowledge might also help scientists understand how people and animals tell their own sense of place in space.

“Designing robots that can fit changing environments has been a difficult problem,” says scientist Olaf Sporns of Indiana University . “This work provides a new way toward solving this important problem.”

5. Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?

A. They cannot repair themselves .

B. The computer has changed a lot.

C. They have nothing special to protect them.

D. The computer cannot operate a changed robot.

6. How do the sensors in the robot work?

A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.

B. They can find out where the damage comes from.

C. They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.

D. They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.

7. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to “______”.

A. robots

B. arms and legs

C. sensors

D. researchers

8. What does Olaf Sporns think of the new robot?

A. He does not express his opinions clearly.

B. He doubts if it can work well in real life.

C. He thinks it is a great development in robotics.

D. He thinks more experiments are needed to test it.

C

There isn’t any doubt that positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer. But will positive thoughts help you make the cancer go away?

There have been a number of studies on this subject ,but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a cure for cancer, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse.

So, is there a reason to have a positive attitude ? Of course there is.

While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to focus on statistics（统计数据） . I always imagine myself as being among the smaller group of patients who survive . Why do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that I’ll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can reach out to someone else who’s having a difficult time and offer them encouragement.

A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment . Most cancer patients ,as well as their family members ,know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. It’s difficult to carry on when patients receive bad news . But a positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are beneficial （有益的）to my health, and helps me through the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the side effects of my treatment.

So, I prefer to stay happy and positive .I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits ,and I try not to panic（惊慌）if I feel any pain .Instead ,I seek joy as much as I can ,and because I am seeking joy, I find joy .Being positive might not save you from cancer ,but I can be sure that if you are positive ,you will find meaning in your life as well as happiness in every day that you live.

9.According to the first two paragraphs, we know that ______.

A. one’s attitude has an influence on cancer

B. positive thinking can save patients from cancer

C. positive thinking has nothing to do with cancer

D. negative thinking is very likely to make cancer worse

10. After the author found out she had cancer,_______.

A. she was sure she would survive

B. she tried to enjoy her life and help others

11. What can be concluded about positive thinking from the author’s experiences ?

A. I t makes cancer treatment less painful for patients.

B. It makes it much easier for people to accept bad news.

C. It prepares family members for what may happen next.

D. It helps create a good environment for patients.

12. What is the purpose of the author in writing this article?

The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If

it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived

an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright

woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened

form Taj Mahan, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved

wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving

up his throne. He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the

most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.

He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia

and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan,

one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7

meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself

soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made

of white marble.

The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself

on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. Howev er

his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and

for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb

of his beloved wife.

13. The whole passage tells us about ______.

A . a beautiful fairy tale

B. the story of the Taj Mahal

C. white and black marble tombs made for two emperors

D. the love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife

14. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Taj Mahal?

A. It was completed quickly owing to the efforts of the best artists and workers.

B. A lot of people took part in the building work

C. It is a magnificent building.

D. It is a tomb for the emperor’s beloved wife.

15. The emperor’s own tomb was designed to be ____________.

A. 61 meters high

B. eight-sided

C. black-coloured

D. white-colored 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Best wishes!
