Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they help people work in dangerous places or do difficult
jobs. Some robots do regular jobs. Bobby, the mail carrier, brings mail to a large office building in Washington,
D.C. He is one of 250 mail carriers in the United States.
Mr. Leachim, who weighs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall, has some advantages as a teacher. One
is that he does not forget details. He knows each child"s name, the parents" names and what each child knows
and needs to know. In addition, he knows each child"s pets and hobbies. Mr. Leachim does not make mistakes.
Each child goes and tells him his or her name, then dials an identification (身份证明) number. His computer
brain puts the child"s voice and number together. He identifies the child with no mistakes. Then he starts the
lesson.
Another advantage is that Mr. Leachim is flexible. If the children need more time to do their lessons they
can move switches. In this way they can repeat Mr. Leachim"s lesson over and over again. When the children
do a good job he tells them something interesting about their hobbies. At the end of the lesson the children
switch Mr. Leachim off. |

Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their
children"s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women? For many
children it means starting schoolwork very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take
a second place. It"s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even
at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government
for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents
who have to find the time and the money to support their child"s development and sports clothes, transport to
competitions, special equipment, etc. Can all be very expensive?
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some
doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional
(专业的) trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful
sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be
prepared for failure even after many years of training. |

While reading a book in English, every few lines of text, you run across a word or two that you don"t
know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does slow you down. Even electric
or CD -ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can
help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the "map" each time you
take a step, you"ll get nowhere fast.
On your English learning "journey", a dictionary can be a helpful "travel companion (伙伴)"-if it is not
overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you will
always depend on (依赖) your native language and end up translating in your head.
A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test
and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentence and learn pronunciation.
Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources (资源).
Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols (符号). Understand what the
abbreviations (缩写字) mean. Try to master the important grammar rules. Look for charts, diagrams and lists
that might be useful in the future. You will discover how helpful it can be to make friends with your dictionary.
And as they say, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." |
| 1. Why do we need a good English-to-English dictionary? |
| [ ] |
A. Because it is a good friend.
B. Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost.
C. Without it we"ll always depend on our native language and end up translating in our head.
D. Because it can help us to start thinking in English and in Chinese. |
| 2. The underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refers to _____. |
| [ ] |
A. pronunciation symbols and grammar rules
B. abbreviations and usage for grammar rules
C. the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usage
D. charts, diagrams and lists |
| 3. According to the passage, which statement can lead you to believe? |
| [ ] |
A. The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article.
B. The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read.
C. The more you use the resources in a dictionary, the more you can benefit (受益) from it.
D. The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is. |

Scientists have always wanted to know more about the universe.
Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far away it was
from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the
moon.
The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the
air reaches only 240 kilometres away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That
is a rocket (火箭).
How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it
will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.
Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets
without men in them have flown to another planet much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may
be able to go to any place in space. |
| 1. A plane cannot fly to the moon because _____. |
| [ ] |
A. there is no air above 240 kilometers away from the earth
B. there is no gas in the plane
C. the plane is not strong enough
D. the plane must be driven by a man |
| 2. The hot gas in the rocket is used for _____. |
| [ ] |
A. keeping the air in the rocket fresh
B. keeping the men in the rocket warm
C. making the rocket fly up
D. cooking food for the men |

Homework is a great way for kids to develop independent, lifelong learning skills, so here are some general
homework tips for parents:
● Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework.
Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions, such as
people coming and going.
● Make sure the materials your child needs, such as some paper, pencils and a dictionary, are available.
Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance.
● Help your child with time management.
Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don"t let your child leave homework until just before
bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially if the
project involves getting together with classmates.
● Be positive about homework.
Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude
your child acquires.
● When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers.
Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when
the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her.
Cooperation with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the
directions given by the teacher.
● Reward progress in homework.
If your child has been successful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success
with a special even (e.g. pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort. |
Title: (1) ____________ for parents on their children"s homework
Right things to
do | Basic requirements | | 阅读理解。 | Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures (压力) from their
parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a
wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible
results for many students who are not gifted (有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school
but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by
everyone else they meet and they don"t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them
in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers" work to
help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the
evenings and on weekends-they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense
of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students" hair to their clothes and
things in their school bags. Child psychologists (心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to
the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with
others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents. | | 1. "Dropouts" are those who _____. | | [ ] | A. make troubles in and out of schools
B. go about or stay home instead of being at school
C. try hard but always fails in the exams
D. lose hope and give up some of their subjects | | 2. According to the passage, it"s necessary to teach students _____. | | [ ] | A. how to study well
B. how to get on with others
C. to show love and care for others
D. All above | | 3. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? | | [ ] | A. The Trouble in Japanese Schools
B. The Problems of Japanese Students
C. Education in Japan
D. The Pressures on the Students in Japan | 最新试题
