In Canada, a tree can help remember 小題9:In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts.

To make things 小題11:some people would rather just give money.

Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars (星球大戰(zhàn)) . Today, however, a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to appear in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes, and colors. But they all have the same type of man-made “brain”. Leading the robot revolution （革命）are industrial(企業(yè)) robots that work in factories. Industrial（工業(yè)） robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren’t as friendly and bright as those you saw in  Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots “walk”, sense objects(感知物體) in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody is perfect.
We may laugh at home robot today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths（波長） of light, and hear certain sounds. That’s because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robot may also be equipped with devices that pick up information humans can’t. To understand what their sensing devices(傳感器) pick up is a hard job. Remember, man—made brains handle(處理)information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like—using only zeroes and ones.
小題1: From the passage, we can see that factory robots _________.
A．help to improve other types of robots
B．a(chǎn)re most active in industrial revolution
C．a(chǎn)re playing a more important role than other types of robots
D．a(chǎn)re the tallest type among robots
小題2: It seems that home robots are __________________.
A．more widely used than factory robots
B．less common than factory robots
C．capable of doing any kind of housework
D．free from making mistakes while performing(執(zhí)行) duties
小題3: Robots may deal with information that humans can’t. Which of the following is not one of the reasons?
A．They do not have so many limits as humans do.
B．They have man-made brains.
C．They may be equipped with a special kind of sensing device.
D．They handle information by using zeroes and ones.
小題4:The development of robots suggests that _________.
A．science and technology are developing fast
B．people are interested in new inventions
C．machines are more capable than humans
D．robots can be very interesting
小題5: According to this passage, present home robots ________.

B．a(chǎn)re as capable as those in Star Wars
C．can pick up objects more quickly than humans
D．sometimes perform wrong actions

For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.
Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil.
小題1:Some people think railways are dying because______.
A．planes and cars are expensive
B．oil is expensive today
C．trains are slow
D．railways look ugly
小題2:The writer thinks that railways are much alive because___________.
A．they are cheaper and more convenient
B．there aren’t any planes or cars
C．we can have a comfortable journey
D．we feel dangerous on highways
小題3:According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?
A．It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane
B．The railway station is usually at the center of the city.
C．When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D．No car or plane can carry as many goods as a train.
小題4: What does the underline word competitive prefer to?
A．參與性的B．性價比高的
C．競爭性的D．對比性的
小題5: The best title for this passage may be __________.
A．Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?

C．Trains are More Competitive than Cars or Planes
D．Oh, Super-fast Trains

This year 2, 300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions  (印象)  of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In return, George's son, Mike, spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected -much harder. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The family's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批評)American schools." He says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."
小題1:The whole exchange program is mainly to______.
A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America
B．send students in America to travel in Germany
C．let students learn something about other countries
D．have teenagers learn new languages
小題2:What did Fred and Mike agree on?
A．American food tasted better than German food.
B．German schools were harder than American schools.
C．Americans and Germans were both friendly.
D．There were more cars on the streets in America.
小題3:What is particular in American schools?
A．There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
B．There are a lot of after-school activities.
C．Students usually take 14 subjects in all.
D．Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.
小題4:What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?
A．A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.
B．German schools trained students to be better citizens.
C．American schools were not as good as German schools.
D．The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.     . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (專家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
小題1:Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?
A．What can they do about this?
B．Where do the problems come from?
C．When did they have these problems?
D．Why do they have so many problems?
小題2:In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ______.
A．a(chǎn)nswer a questionB．give an example
C．introduce his friendD．share his experience
小題3:According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ______.
A．Laura’s teacher
B．the writer of the passage
C．a(chǎn) person with a problem
D．a(chǎn)n expert on students’ problems

In China, parents often tell their kids not to waste food. However, it's reported that a lot of food is wasted in restaurants every day.
Many people say when they eat out, they usually order a lot of dishes and they can't eat them up. One person in Chengdu, Sichuan Province says he takes away the leftovers. "Usually we'll have some leftovers after meals, because when I invite friends to eat out, I don't know how much they can eat, so I order lots of dishes to make sure everybody has enough food."
While another person in Fuzhou, Fujian Province says she never packs what is left on the dining table. "What I usually experience during eating out is a big meal. I seldom take away the leftovers because we often have other activities after the meals, and it's not convenient to take the leftovers. And when no one suggests taking away leftovers, I won't do so."
Some people say they only take away leftovers when they eat out with family, but not if they eat with friends or colleagues (同事).

閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從各題所給的四個選項中選出最佳答案。并在答題卡上將該字母的編號涂黑。
“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize (擴大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
小題1:We know that the word “cool” has had ________.
A. only one meaning   B. no meanings C. many different meanings
小題2:In the passage, the word “express” means “____________.”
A. see    B. show    C. know    
小題3:If you are ________ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”
A. interested in    B. angry about    C. afraid of   
小題4:The writer takes an example to show he is _______ the way the word is used.
A. pleased with   B. strange to    C. worried about                  
小題5:In the passage, the writer suggests（暗示）that the word “cool” ______.
A. can be used instead of many words
B. usually means something interesting      
C. may not be as cool as it seems
