三、阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
A group of people decided to climb a mountain together. They thought it was going to be an easy climb, so they laughed and talked among themselves and didn’t notice the sky growing darker. They soon got lost for they couldn’t see very far in front of them. They huddled together that night over a fire.
No one walked too far away from the group by themselves because it would surely lead to death. They sat close to each other throughout the dark hours not just for warmth, but for the fact that staying with the group was their only hope for survival. After what felt like a century, the sun started its slow climb up the sky. They were now able to see as far ahead of them as they liked, so they began to go down the mountain.
They still remained as a group at this time even though there was no real need. A bond (凝聚力) had formed throughout the group that could not be broken or ignored. They knew each other just as well as they knew themselves. As they reached the place where they had started their journey, they knew it was time to say goodbye. Feeling at peace, they bowed (鞠躬) deeply to each other. All of them kept the love they created as a group close to their hearts as they made their way out into the world alone.
36. What was the difficulty the group of people met in the mountain?
A. Damaged roads. B. Animals’ attack.
C. Losing their way. D. Running out of food.
37. What was the most important thing they did in order to survive?
A. They kept close to each other.
B. They made a fire to keep warm.
C. They told stories to encourage others.
D. They sent some people to find the way.
38. They remained as a group when going down the mountain because ______.
A. the way was still not clear B. they enjoyed being in a group
C. they needed others to pull them D. the way became difficult to walk on
39. What does the underlined word “huddled” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Talked a lot. B. Sat close to each other.
C. Played happily. D. Explored the mountain.

New children’s books on sale
Imagine That
Imagine That is written for younger kids aged 3-6. One great thing about this book is that it uses real-life examples that younger children can understand easily. These examples show the magic, mystery and power within nature and within every one of us.
The Wave
The Wave is a children’s story and it’s also a clear message to teens and adults that there is usually more to life than we see with our eyes. It also helps plant an early seed in children’s minds that spirituality (灵性) isn’t just something we seek or find, but it’s a part of us all the time and every place—all we need to do is become aware. This book is probably better suited for older children, perhaps aged 5-10, as it talks about spiritual things.
Kiss of a Dolphin
Kiss of a Dolphin is a very touching story. This story is actually a series of stories about the “Dreams for Kids” organization.
At first, the organization helps children in Chicago, but then it becomes an organization helping all poor kids. Just as importantly, this book is about all of the volunteers and the gifts that they receive as they help these kids realize their dreams. Also, its beautiful language can be enjoyed by children over 12 years old.
40. What is great about Imagine That according to the writer?
A. It is written specially for older children.
B. It lists examples children can understand easily.
C. There are many stories about magic and mystery.
D. It is about something that we cannot experience.
41. The Wave is suitable for older children because of ______.
A. its difficult language B. the scientific topic
C. its deep meaning D. the length of the story
42. What is Kiss of a Dolphin mainly about?
A. A story about a child and a dolphin.
B. An organization named “Dreams for Kids”.
C. A touching story of a poor child.
D. A volunteer who helps a lot of poor children.
43. How do people probably feel after reading Kiss of a Dolphin?
A. Sad B. Moved. C. Relaxed. D. Curious.

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 researchers create better artificial arms and legs that give new freedom to people who lack 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.”
44. 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.
45. 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.
46. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to “______”.
A. robots B. arms and legs C. sensors D. researchers
47. 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.

Would you like to stay at a beach home in Australia, a home on Egypt’s Red Sea, or a castle in France, all without spending a dollar? People swap (交换) their homes for a few days, a few weeks or longer. You move into someone else’s home, and they move into yours.
Many travelers say it’s a fantastic way to travel. In the movie The Holiday, Kate Winslet is very happy to find a wonderful Southern California home through a home exchange website.
At HomeExchange.com, paying $60 a year allows members to list their homes and swap them with other members for free. The website lists some 15,000 homes around the world and includes pictures and detailed (详细的) descriptions, dates the owners are available (有空的) for an exchange, and the places members would like to travel.
“It’s a great way to travel — basically you stay at my house, I stay at yours, so there are no hotel bills — you save a lot of money on vacation,” said Ed Kushins.
That’s why Susana Parks is a big fan of home exchanges. She and her husband live in a beautiful Rodeo Drive home just a few blocks from Beverly Hills. And the couple is willing to let home exchangers, who they’ve never met, move in and have free use of their kitchen, library, swimming pool, even their new car.
“If we swap our home, we’re in their home too. So there is trust between us that we treat their home like our home and they treat our home like theirs.”
48. What is home exchange?
A. People sell their homes for money or other things.
B. People swap their homes that they are not satisfied with.
C. People swap their homes when they are on vacation.
D. People take care of others’ homes when they are out.
49. Which of the following information is unlisted at HomeExchange.com?
A. The names of the owners. B. The pictures of the homes.
C. The places members want to go. D. The dates the homes are available.
50. Susana Parks is willing to let other travelers use their home because ______.
A. she can make money from it B. she believes in other people
C. the website makes a promise to her D. she wants people to know Beverly Hills
51. The writer wrote the text in order to ______.
A. persuade us to trust others B. introduce a new way to travel
C. tell us some tips on traveling D. advertise for HomeExchange.com

If a person’s heart stops, would you know how to do CPR (心脏复苏术)? CPR can save a life and reduce the risk of brain damage.
With traditional CPR, you give two breaths (气息) to force air into the body. Then you push hard on the chest (胸) thirty times. You repeat these two steps until the person wakes up or a medical team arrives.
However, people may worry about getting sick from blowing into a stranger’s mouth. Also, the training is easy to forget, especially in a dangerous situation.
And those without training may not do anything for fear that (惟恐) they will do something wrong. So in 2008, the American Heart Association simplified its instructions. Here is how the hands-only CPR works:
Place your hands, one on top of the other, on the center of the chest. Push hard and fast. Chest compressions (按压) keep the blood flowing to the brain, the heart and other parts of the body.
Instructions from 2005 said only untrained people should use the handsonly CPR. Those with training were told to use traditional CPR. But now the heart association says every one should use the hands-only CPR unless they are sure about their ability to do traditional CPR.
The new rules showed that the hands-only method worked as well as traditional CPR. But the experts say you should still use traditional CPR on babies and children. Traditional CPR should also be used for adults found already unconscious (无意识) and not breathing normally. That’s because there are many of these cases where people should still learn CPR with mouth-to-mouth.
52. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people do not want to do CPR?
A. They are not well trained.
B. They are afraid to do something wrong.
C. They think CPR causes damage to the brain.
D. They worry that they may get sick from it.
53. One difference between the 2005’s and 2008’s instructions is ______.
A. who should use the hands-only CPR
B. who can receive CPR training
C. the order of the steps of doing CPR
D. what courses are needed to train people
54. From the text, we can learn that the hands-only CPR ______.
A. has not become popular B. is not good for children
C. is very difficult to do D. needs to be improved
55. What does the writer think of traditional CPR?
A. It should be done by experts or doctors.
B. It is not as useful as the hands-only CPR.
C. It cannot be replaced by the hands-only CPR.
D. Its instructions had better be simplified.
四、写作 (共两节，满分35分)
第一节 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。(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)
One or two Americans have asked me why the English like tea so much. It never seems to be a very good drink to them. 56
There is a very simple principle of the making of tea. It’s this—to get the proper flavor of tea, the water has to be boiling not boiled when it hits the tea leaves. 57 That’s why we English warm the teapot first. 58
Americans are all puzzled about why the English make such a big thing out of tea, because most Americans have never had a good cup of tea. 59
In fact, the truth of the matter is that most English people don’t know how to make tea any more either. 60 That is a pity, and gives Americans the impression (印象) that the English know little about hot stimulants (兴奋剂).
A. So they don’t understand.
B. They haven’t got used to drinking tea.
C. Every step is very important for the whole making.
D. If it’s very hot then the tea will have no taste.
E. And most people drink cheap instant coffee instead.
F. To understand, you have to know how to make it properly.
G. In this way, it won’t cause the boiling water to cool down too fast as it hits the pot.

One possible version:
Dear Emily,
How are you these days? I know you are a robot lover so I want to introduce a new type of robot to you. It is called Dustbot. It looks like a green garbage can, but it can move around. Dustbot can come to your house after receiving a short message from you at any time of the day. Then it will take away your rubbish. Because of its small body, it can get to the places where trucks cannot reach. Isn’t it interesting? If we use Dustbot to replace garbage trucks, it can collect rubbish at any time we want. Besides, it is much cuter than trucks. What do you think of it?
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
