【題目】閱讀下面短文，掌握大意，然后從各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳答案。
We live a life surrounded by robots. Nearly every robot has been made in some way1 up to a certain level or temperature. The machine will wait for “feedback” about the water2or temperature before it begins the washing cycle. In this way, a washing machine has been patterned after humans. We depend on 3from our five senses to find out what is happening around us and then make decisions about our actions.
Of course, some machines perform functions like humans, but much 4 than we do, such as calculators. A pocket calculator works faster than a human, never makes mistakes, and doesn’t get 5or bored.
Other robots are very similar to humans in their ability6 new things. In factories, robots can learn to do many different tasks, as they are shown by a human operator. For example, in a car factory, a person will guide a robot’s “arm” and “ 7” through the steps of the new job. The robot’s electronic “brain” will 8the information away, memorizing the steps so the next time it9can repeat the movements without a human operator. When the robot must be moved to a new job, its memory is 10so it is ready to learn the next job. Of course, at any time if there is anything 11in the process, different from the original task, the robot cannot 12 with it. It will signal for an engineer to come for repairs.
Some robots are considered very intelligent because they have more human abilities than others, such as “seeing” 13 cameras for eyes or “feeling” with metal fingers that can14shapes and even temperatures. However, no machine has 15been able to copy the complexity of the simplest, most common person.
（1）A.similar B.familiar C.sensitive D.different

【解析】（1）本篇4個(gè)自然段，第1段的第二句、第2、3、4段的首句都是主題句，這些主題句表明了機(jī)器人與人類相似的特性以及可能比人類具有更大的優(yōu)勢(shì)、更多的能力等特點(diǎn)。第1、3兩段講述相似性，2、4兩段講述比人類優(yōu)越之處。所以根據(jù)第3段首句可以選出A為正確答案。（2）根據(jù)前面一句的level可知答案為B。 （3）根據(jù)第二空前面的“feedback”選擇。（4）根據(jù)下面一句的works faster than a human, never makes mistakes可知講述的是robots的“優(yōu)勢(shì)”，排除B項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng), 選擇better修飾前面的動(dòng)詞perform。（5）根據(jù)后面的“or”（或者）可知與“bored”為同類詞，故選D。（6）根據(jù)后面一句的“l(fā)earn”和下文所舉的例子選擇“l(fā)earn”，又根據(jù)ability的搭配“the ability to do sth” 故選B。（7）根據(jù)前面的“arm and”說(shuō)明所選的詞與“arm”并列。若選B項(xiàng)或C項(xiàng)則與“arm”均有包含關(guān)系，而“brain”是儲(chǔ)存信息的，也不妥。故選hand，與“arm”并列，arm 和hand共同執(zhí)行機(jī)器人指令。（8）根據(jù)文章的中心推知機(jī)器人的電子腦與人腦相似，有存儲(chǔ)信息的功能。store away意為“存儲(chǔ)”；而take away意為“拿走”；put away意為“收拾好”；give away意為“捐贈(zèng)，泄露”。 （9）根據(jù)上面提到的“完成任務(wù)要由a human operator指引，并且電子腦具備存儲(chǔ)功能，所以已經(jīng)設(shè)置好的程序就能重復(fù)（repeat）操作”，故選same。（10）根據(jù)本空所在的上下文可知“機(jī)器人只能執(zhí)行設(shè)置好的程序，如果任務(wù)有變，指令也應(yīng)隨著改變”，所以要“l(fā)earn the next job”，必須先“清除”原先的指令，重新設(shè)置新的指令（記憶存儲(chǔ)），故只有erased“清除”正確。而refreshed意為“重新想起”；kept和stored意為“保存，存儲(chǔ)”。 （11）“if there is anything in the process”與后面的“different from the original task”說(shuō)的是同一層含義，所以強(qiáng)調(diào)的是與“原先設(shè)置的任務(wù)”的“不同”，故選unusual最妥當(dāng)。 （12）deal with意為“處理”；而do sth with sth意為“處理”時(shí)常與what疑問(wèn)句連用，如“I don’t know what to do with all the leftovers.”實(shí)際上what作do的賓語(yǔ)；solve為及物動(dòng)詞，后直接跟賓語(yǔ)。 （13）根據(jù)后面的“or”，說(shuō)明空格處與“feeling”with metal fingers并列，故選with，表示手段，意為“用”。 （14）本句與首段提到的“depend on feedback from our five senses”呼應(yīng)，又根據(jù)空格前面的“seeing”和“feeling”等感官進(jìn)一步證明B選項(xiàng)正確。（15）文章從開(kāi)頭一直到第14空講述的都是機(jī)器人的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，本句為結(jié)束句，通過(guò) “However”話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)，指出機(jī)器人的局限性，故排除never，選擇ever表示“曾經(jīng)”。

【題目】Robert Ballard is probably the most famous deep-sea explorer in the past 100 years. While he is best known for his historic discovery of the wreckage(殘骸) of the R.M.S. Titanic which sank to the bottom of the sea in 1912, he also discovered the wreckage of the Bismarck and the Yorktown. Over his career, Dr. Ballard has completed over 120 deep-sea journeys and continues to push exploration to new depths with new technologies and strategies. His new high-tech Inner Space Center at the University of Rhode Island links scientists all over the world and makes it possible to identify new discoveries in realtime.

【題目】Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭雜務(wù)) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(補(bǔ)貼) or other rewards such as extra computer time.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. "Running any kind of household is a team effort," Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look."

Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兌取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive reinforcement(強(qiáng)化) to help motivate them."

What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?

Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@timeforkids.com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.

【1】How does the author start the passage?

A. By comparing different views.

B. By listing some evidence.

C. By presenting some facts.

D. By stating his own experiences.

【2】According to Susie Walton, _______.

A. kids should be rewarded for doing chores

B. parents decide what kids can do for the family

C. kids have the responsibility to share housework

D. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores

【3】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kids

B. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores

C. main reasons why kids need encouragement

D. how to motivate kids to try new applications

【4】The purpose of writing the text is to __________.

A. inform readers of two different opinions

B. call on readers to reflect on their behavior

C. present the author’s viewpoint about parenting

D. invite readers to express their opinions

【題目】閱讀短文，完成下列問(wèn)題。
A
I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (貼標(biāo)簽 ) everything. I always, looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing.
Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up.
She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. "Thanks."
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
（1）What made Kate angry one evening?
A.She couldn't find her books.
B.She heard the author shouting loud.
C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.
D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.
（2）The author tidied up the room most probably because___.
A.she was scared by Kate's anger
B.she hated herself for being so messy
C.she wanted to show her care
D.she was asked by Kate to do so
（3）What might be the best title for the story?

【題目】閱讀短文，完成下列問(wèn)題。
C
In her outstanding book, “Choose the Happiness Habit”, Pam Golden wrote, “Take the story of two twin brothers for example. One grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. When asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “Because my father was a drunk.” However, the successful businessman's answer was also “Because my father was a drunk.” when asked why he succeeded. The same background. The same upbringing (培養(yǎng)). However, the results were quite different. Why? The reason is that they had different choices. The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last, so they had different experiences.
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to “bad luck”. Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours”? That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble. So what do you think I got? “RAIN”. More and more “RAIN”. I couldn't understand why bad luck was always with me.
Pam Golden says, “You're either living in the problem or you're living in the solution.” Now, when I'm faced with what I used to think was a negative (消極的) situation, I use a different way to think about it. I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution, which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, I find a solution to the problem soon. It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with. The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience, from which I can benefit.
Now, it doesn't “rain” as much in my life as it used to. In fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! Sometimes I do get a rain, but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up.
（1）The example of the twin brothers shows that ________.
A.making good choices is the most important
B.education decides a person's future
C.upbringing makes a big difference
D.it is luck that leads to success
（2）What does “RAIN” mentioned in the second paragraph refer to?
A.Water.
B.Good luck.
C.Success.
D.Difficulty.
（3）What is talked about in the third paragraph?
A.How the author collects useful experience.
B.How the author deals with difficulty now.
C.How the author gets help from others.
D.How the author lives in the problem.
（4）Which of the following agrees with the author's attitude now in the text?
A.All things are difficult before they are easy.
B.Meeting with difficulty is not a bad thing.
C.Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.
D.Things at the worst will mend.

A
Teens don't want to be seen with their parents, much less talk to them or do anything with them. That's what we hear all the time. I don't believe it. Oh, sure, when my daughter and my son were in their teens, they wanted to spend most of their free time with their friends. But there were always those special times planned when we enjoyed being alone with each other, when we connected deeply, and when we were reminded again how much we loved one another.
I recall how delighted my 14-year-old daughter, Alisa, felt when I asked her for a date to see a movie. It was a bittersweet Italian movie, Cinema Paradiso, and I wanted this story to give her a sense of how I grew up as an Italian boy in a small town, where life was simple and where everyone knew one another. I wanted her to know how her father had been brought up and shaped.
We both laughed and cried during the same scenes in the movie. She was attached to the movie. I decided we should complete our evening with some lively conversation at a nearby bakery. I told her the movie was now so much more special for me because I had shared it with her. She smiled. She understood. We made a memory that night.
From our living room window, I saw my 13-year-old son, Jason, tearfully searching our vegetable garden for a place to bury his pet boa constrictor (蟒蛇). Because my son had suffered from asthma (哮喘) and allergies, he could never have a dog, a faithful friend that he wanted so much. Every pet he owned—lizards, fish, or snakes—had died.
I was at his side as we searched for the best gravesite (墓地). We dug the grave, said our goodbyes and then he cried. He cried hard and he asked me why every pet he had owned died so soon. I could feel his heart break against my chest. I just held him close. He let me hold his aching soul. He needed me while he was confused. Share your heart with your teens. Show them repeatedly that you know and love who they really are. There are tender memories waiting to be made.
（1）What can we learn from the passage?
A.Children would like to spend time with parents.
B.Parents have trouble in getting along with children.
C.The author always spent time with children in a planned way.
D.The family should help each other at the important moment.
（2）Why did the author choose to see Cinema Paradiso with his daughter?
