However, put in unfortunate conditions, they have no choice but to die. But what if plants could relocate to better places?It was this question that Sun Tianqi, founder of a Chinese robotics firm Vincross, asked himself while watching a dead sunflower. “I thought if it could have taken a 30 - foot walk out of the shadow to where the other sunflowers were, it would have lived healthily,” he said.He decided then to build a robot that would let plants do just that. The researchers took one of his company’s traditional HEXA robot models and built a “flowerpot,” which replaced HEXA’s shell.HEXA is a six - legged robot that comes complete with all the necessary sensors. The impressive plant robot can chase (追逐) the sun, hide for shelter, and perform a funny dance to indicate it is thirsty.Tianqi concluded, “Plants are passive. No matter if they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they lack sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them. They have the fewest degrees of freedom among all the creature in nature. This is simply the setting that nature gives to plants. I hope that this project can bring some inspiration to the relationship between technology and bad natural settings.”4．What does Tianqi say about the plants?A．Some plants cannot survive in bad surroudings.B．Some plants chase the sun to acquire shelter.C．Plants have a life cycle like humans.D．Plants are important to the environment.5．What inspired Tianqi to build a plant robot?A．His environmental awareness. B．His love for sunflowers.C．A broken flowerpot. D．A dead flower.6．What do we know about the plant robot?A．It is solar - powered.               B．It carries plants to move.C．It feeds nutrients to plants.          D．It offers growers useful tips.7．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A．His robot needs much improvement.B．Technology can set human beings free.C．Technology can remove natural disadvantages.D．His robot has many useful future applications.CStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my blackberry (黑莓手机)— it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others.On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a rally good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.8．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ______.A．the course material B．the author’s class rulesC．discussion topics                       D．others’ misuse of technology 9．The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ______.A．accept   B．change    C．explore      D．refuse10．According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ______.A．keep students from doing independent thinkingB．encourage students to have deep conversationsC．help students to better understand difficult themesD．affect students’ concentration on the teacher’s ideas11．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______.A．is quite stubborn in teaching B．will give up teaching historyC．will change his teaching plan soon D．values technology-free dialogues in his classDThe TV series, The Longest Day in Chang’an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms, became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad. Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it — the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad. “I was amazed by the overseas audience’s love of this show,” Cao Dun, director of The Longest Day in Chang’an told Beijing Review. “I was worried that they wouldn’t understand the complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, the show is prompting foreign audiences to research the history of the Tang Dynasty to better understand the plot.”The unique culture in ancient China is no a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences. In the TV series, every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character. Telling stories of the ordinary Chinese people that resonate (引起共鸣) with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world. “The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders,” he told Beijing Review. His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. “The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world,” Cao said. “After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang dynasty, I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today’s China. I don’t want to copy any country’s production. Chinese dramas have to build on our rich culture and Chinese people’s everyday life.” Cao added.12．What do we know about the TV series?A．It can be appreciated for free.B．It was very popular once it was shown.C．It was put on overseas when first released.D．It is about the development of the Tang dynasty.13．What does the underlined word “prompting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Requiring. B．Reminding. C．Encouraging. D．Informing.14．What contributed to the TV series’ success?A．Recognition of beauty. B．Stories of Tang Dynasty.C．Diversity of Chinese culture. D．Personalities of every figure.15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Learn the Ancient Political Structure B．Make a Successful TV Series is EasyC．Show Different Nationalities in China D．Tell Chinese Stories to the World第二节  七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分）     阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life. ____16____Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids. Saying “thank you” to service workersSaying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many little ways each day, like wait staff, store clerks, and bus drivers.

Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in San Francisco. What should I do now?” Mei Mei grumbled(抱怨), mostly to herself.“What’s that?” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots and a wok(炒锅).“Nothing.” Mei Mei said. The girl had been complaining about the move but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. Mei Mei sighed and got back to washing dishes.On the day of the grand opening, Mei Mei’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mei Mei was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mei Mei’s age. As she filled their glasses, Mei Mei realized the twins were in her class. Mei Mei lowered her head so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. Mei Mei’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.”Paragraph 1:“Mom. I don’t want to be out there!”_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Mei Mei put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
