In the city of London about 150 years ago, many people started to get very sick. The sickness they had was called “cholera (霍乱)”. The disease frightened Londoners because nobody knew how to stop it.

Most people have heard the story of the lost island of Atlantis (亚特兰蒂斯). But is any part of the story true?
Over two thousand years ago, the Greek writer Plato wrote about Atlantis, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. The people on the island were very rich. They built a big city with many great buildings. At the center of the island, they built a beautiful golden temple. But the people became greedy — they had many things, but they still wanted more. So the gods became angry, and the island was hit by earthquake and very large waves (波浪). Finally, the whole island disappeared into the sea.
Many people think Atlantis is simply a story. The story wants to teach people not to be greedy. Richard Ellis wrote a book about Atlantis in 1999. He said, “There is no support for it.”
However, lots of people still believed in the story. Many explorers looked for Atlantis. In 2004, explorer Robert Sarmast reported finding the remains of a city under the sea near Cyprus. But Sarmast and other scientists later found out the remains under the sea were natural, not man-made.
So is the island real or not? We only know one thing that Atlantis will remain a secret with us for a long time.
25. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. People on the island didn’t respect the gods.
B. People on the island were not happy with what they already had.
C. The gods became angry because people built a golden temple.
D. Plato wrote the story to remind people to be careful.
26. What happened after Robert Sarmast said he found Atlantis in 2004?
A. He wrote a book about his findings.
B. Richard Ellis said that Atlantis was not real.
C. He found out the remains were not man-made.
D. Many scientists were interested in the lost island.
27. What does the underlined word simply mean?
A. just B. hardly C. easily D. finally
28. What does the writer probably believe?

The year is 2045. A goal is scored at the football World Cup. Not by a human player, but by a robot. A robot? Is that possible? Many scientists believe it is. In fact, there are already robots that can play football. Of course, today’s robots don’t just play sports. Today’s scientists are working on robots with different kinds of skills. For example, it is very possible that robots will soon help take care of children or the elderly, or do dangerous jobs such as fighting fires.
When people started making robots, they were made to do just easy things, mainly in factories. Since then, however, robots have changed a lot. Early robots were operated by humans. Today’s robots work on their own. Some can only move around a little, like robot cleaners, but others, such as Honda’s ASIMO, can do much more. It can run, climb stairs, dance, and yes, even play football.
Then there are robots made to be like humans. These robots have faces and can show emotions. Such robots can learn new things, and show us how they “feel”. Actroid-DER, a social robot, looks so human. It sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable.
Scientists aren’t just building human-like robots. They are also making robots that look and act like animals.
At NASA, scientists are making a robot snake. They think it’s sometimes better than cars with wheels. These snake-bots can enter holes and move over rough ground. They might one day help scientists look for signs of life on Mars. Other animal robots include the frog-bot, which can jump over objects, and the sticky-bot, which can walk up walls. There’s even a robot called Water Runner that can walk on water.
But can a robot football team ever operate all on their own, or play as well as a human team? Many robot scientists surely think so. Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions (冠军)!
32. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. different kinds of robots
B. why people need robots
C. how to make your own robots
D. the history of robot development
33. Which robot is able to show its feelings?
A. ASIMO B. Actroid-DER C. Water Runner D. NASA snake-bot
34. The underlined word They in paragraph 5 refers to ______.
A. cars B. wheels C. snake-bots D. holes
35. Which statement would the writer probably agree with?
A. A frog-bot can do more things than a sticky-bot.
B. Robots should not have to do difficult jobs for humans.
C. One day a robot football team can operate themselves.
D. It is impossible that robots will win a football game.

The year is 2045. A goal is scored at the football World Cup. Not by a human player, but by a robot. A robot? Is that possible? Many scientists believe it is. In fact, there are already robots that can play football. Of course, today’s robots don’t just play sports. Today’s scientists are working on robots with different kinds of skills. For example, it is very possible that robots will soon help take care of children or the elderly, or do dangerous jobs such as fighting fires.
When people started making robots, they were made to do just easy things, mainly in factories. Since then, however, robots have changed a lot. Early robots were operated by humans. Today’s robots work on their own. Some can only move around a little, like robot cleaners, but others, such as Honda’s ASIMO, can do much more. It can run, climb stairs, dance, and yes, even play football.
Then there are robots made to be like humans. These robots have faces and can show emotions. Such robots can learn new things, and show us how they “feel”. Actroid-DER, a social robot, looks so human. It sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable.
Scientists aren’t just building human-like robots. They are also making robots that look and act like animals.
At NASA, scientists are making a robot snake. They think it’s sometimes better than cars with wheels. These snake-bots can enter holes and move over rough ground. They might one day help scientists look for signs of life on Mars. Other animal robots include the frog-bot, which can jump over objects, and the sticky-bot, which can walk up walls. There’s even a robot called Water Runner that can walk on water.
But can a robot football team ever operate all on their own, or play as well as a human team? Many robot scientists surely think so. Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions (冠军)!
32. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. different kinds of robots
B. why people need robots
C. how to make your own robots
D. the history of robot development
33. Which robot is able to show its feelings?
A. ASIMO B. Actroid-DER C. Water Runner D. NASA snake-bot
34. The underlined word They in paragraph 5 refers to ______.
A. cars B. wheels C. snake-bots D. holes
35. Which statement would the writer probably agree with?
A. A frog-bot can do more things than a sticky-bot.
B. Robots should not have to do difficult jobs for humans.
C. One day a robot football team can operate themselves.
D. It is impossible that robots will win a football game.

Dear Jack,
My exchange visit to Guangzhou Xinhua Middle School has gone well. I have already been here for two weeks. I have classes every day and I also learn a little Cantonese and Cantonese Opera in my free time. Now I can talk with my classmates in Cantonese not very fluently. Besides, I attend the Chinese Week activities such as Book Show and telling stories. What’s more, we recite Chinese poems together, which helps me know more about Chinese ancient history and culture.
There will be a show this Friday night from 19:00 to 21:00. I sincerely suggest you watch it for the reason that you can enjoy Chinese traditional dancing and poem contests in it. I am looking forward to watching it.
