When I first got to the dojo (柔道馆) at around 6, the first thing that I remember seeing was these groups of people, lined up to fight each other, which shook me. I really didn't want to come back. But I did. I stayed until my Blue Belt. After that, progressing was a little frightening. But my friends and instructors got me to keep coming.
I was progressing well, but that took a turn as soon as I reached the Red Belt. My parents were switching jobs, and it was very difficult to match our schedules so that 1 could come to the dojo. During that year, 1 didn't come to the dojo as much. It was hard for my parents, as well as myself, to be able to fit it into our schedule as often.
When I finally started coming regularly, it was bitter for me to see that all of my friends and peers were ahead. And that taught me a lesson: You should never be upset about yourself if other people are achieving something that you aren't. If anything, you should do the opposite for them. After that year, everything was back up to speed, and I entered Level 3. I could not believe how fast my training was going, and I was finally into the Brown Belt.
Getting through the Brown Belt tests as a young student, and a girl, was very tough. And here, in one of the last stages before my First Degree Black Belt, I learned the biggest lesson - - I could do anything that I wanted to and I was capable of anything that I set my mind to. I just didn't think I could. But I proved myself wrong, and I was able to do it.
Finally, getting my First Degree Black Belt is a dream that comes true, literally. I have been dreaming about these days for months on end, and it never loses the excitement that it gives me. And even after my ceremony, I think I will I look back on this day，and remember every second，every moment.

A. Scared. B. Thrilled. C. Annoyed. D. Disappointed.

Our dog Sandy is a golden retriever(寻回犬). Once we performed an experiment to see how keen his nose was. There was one particular pile that must have had hundreds of sticks. We picked up one stick carved an X on it, walked away from the pile and then threw it back into the pile, not once but a dozen times into the pile. It was impossible for us to tell with any certainty which stick we had originally chosen. Each time he brought back that stick. It wasn't the shape or the size or the look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick. It is hard to imagine, but for dogs every living creature has its own distinctive smell.
The noses of people have about 5 million cells that sense smell. Dogs' noses have anywhere from 125 to 300 million cells. Moreover, these cells are closer to the surface than cells in our noses, and more active. It has been estimated(估计) that dogs such as Sandy have noses that are a million times more sensitive than ours. Clothes that we haven't worn for week, and places we've only touched lightly indicate our presence to dogs.
His ears are also remarkable. He can hear sounds that humans can't and at distances which are astonishing. It is over our head to know and understand that world. Yet we have the advantage of being able to imagine what his experience is like, though he probably doesn't think too much about how we see the world.
The environment is the world that all living things share. Living creatures are born into the environment and are part of it. Yet there is no creature who perceives (感知到) all of what is and what happens. For a dog like Sandy a book isn't much different than a stick, whereas for us one stick is pretty much like every other stick. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures.
8. Why did the author conduct the experiment?
A. To train Sandy to pick out sticks. B. To show how fast Sandy found sticks.
C. To prove sensitivity of Sandy's nose. D. To teach Sandy to tell different smells
9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Support the conclusion with numbers. B. Summarize the previous paragraph.
C. Provide some advice for the readers. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
10. What does the underlined idiom in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Amazing. B. Difficult. C. Reasonable. D. Inconvenient.
11. Which of the following best expresses the author's opinion in the last paragraph?
A. Worlds to experience. B. An environment to share.
C. No environment, no creatures. D. One environment, many worlds.
D
With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight — month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company's Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.
The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized
packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.
To accelerate Scout's development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.
Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times ——if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.
However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.
12. What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?
A. Final tests. B. The so-called last mile.
C. Robots' safety. D. Delivery speed.
13. What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?
A. It looks like a cooler. B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.
C. Its sensors play a key role. D. It will be widely used soon.
14. What does the underlined phrase “prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Before. B. After.
C. In front of. D. Due to.
15. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.
C. A newspaper. D. A travel brochure.

书面表达【答案】
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to know you have interest in Spring Festival couplets. Now, let me introduce some details of them to you.
As a symbol of Chinese traditional culture, Spring Festival couplets are always stuck on the door or the wall of a house. They are necessities for Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival. Written with a writing brush on red paper, Spring Festival couplets use some positive words showing wishes for love, health, success, wealth, happiness and so on. They always have a theme, and they represent better life or successful future, and some of them include wishes and expectations. Of course, the topic of singing the praises of our motherland is another good choice.
Hope you find my introduction useful.
Yours,
Li Hua
