英语试卷 一、 阅读理解 (本大题共10小题，共25.0分)‎ Can robots be creative？ British art gallery owner Aidan Meller thinks so． He hopes to begin answering that question with a robot called Ai-Da． Meller is watching the building of all Ai-Da's parts by engineers at Engineered Arts， a company based in Cornwall， England． The engineers believe the robot will be able to make pictures of people from sight with a writing instrument in her hand． Meller wants the robot to perform like a human artist．  After seeing Ai-Da's head being carefully brought to life by specialists who were connecting individual hairs to form eyebrows， Meller said， "She's going to actually be drawing and we're hoping to then build technology for her to paint． " But also as a performing artist， "she'll be able to communicate with audiences and actually get messages across， asking those questions about technology today，" he added．  Ai-Da's robotic head may still be separate from her body， but her movements are very alive． Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human body parts． Ai-Da will make eye contact and follow you around the room， opening and closing her mouth as you do． If you get too close， the robot will back away， closing and then opening her eyes as if in shock．  The specialists are using the company's Mesmer lifelike robot technology to create her head． Once finished， Ai-Da will have a mixed-race appearance， with long dark hair and man made skin． The teeth and skin inside her mouth will ‎ come from a 3-D printer． Marcus Hold works at Engineered Arts． He said Mesmer "brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human sized package．"  Ai-Da will make her first public appearance at an exhibition called "Unsecured Futures" at the University of Oxford． Some of her pictures are expected to appear at another show in London later this year．   ‎ ‎1. How will Ai-Da do when you get very close to her？ ______ ‎ A. Keep still． ‎ B. Step back． ‎ C. Run away． ‎ D. Speak aloud． ‎ ‎2. Which of the following is Ai-Da good at？ ______ ‎ A. Taking care of the old． ‎ B. Communicating with persons． ‎ C. Doing housework． ‎ D. Making up like humans． ‎ ‎3. What may be the best title for the text？ ______ ‎ A. Ai-Da， a Creative Robot ‎ B. Meller， a Great Engineer ‎ C. Ai-Da Makes Painting Easier ‎ D. Meller Helps Robot Cleverer Are you wondering whether it's worth going for a little jog？ Don't hesitate， and get your sports shoes on． A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of death before the normal time．  In a survey of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark ， the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that running would probably lead to improvements in population health and longevity ‎ （长寿）．The studies involved 232，149 participants over time periods ranging from 5.5 to 35 years．  On the whole， people running any distance were related with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not， the study shows． Running was also related with a 30% and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular （心血管的）disease and cancer．  Previous studies had concluded "inconsistent findings" about whether running could lower the risk of death before the normal time， according to the researchers． Lead researcher Jim White， a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne， told CNN： "Our recent findings may encourage physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it．"  He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of "lifestyle medicine"． In their paper， which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine ， the researchers say health professionals are sometimes wary of promoting running because vigorous （剧烈的）use of it has been linked with sudden heart death．  Jim and his team deny this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk． However， they did say advice should be given on a case - by - case basis， as running might not be appropriate for everyone． Although running has a clear health benefit， the researchers point out that higher "doses" of running may not reduce the risk of death further． According to the WHO s ‎ guidelines， adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week．   ‎ ‎4. What did the new study focus on？ ______ ‎ A. The benefit of jog． ‎ B. People's lifestyles． ‎ C. People's living conditions． ‎ D. The popularity of jog． ‎ ‎5. What will the study contribute to according to Jim？ ______ ‎ A. Doctors' quicker treatment． ‎ B. People's losing weight． ‎ C. People's involvement in running． ‎ D. Researchers' promotion of sport． ‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word "wary" in paragraph 5 mean？ ______ ‎ A. Certain． ‎ B. Tired． ‎ C. Cautious． ‎ D. Confident．‎ Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England， a research has found．  Fifty-seven percent of stargazers （观星者）struggled to see more than 10 stars， while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky making them be able to count more than 30，9 according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England （CPRE）． People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation （星座）of Orion， which is visible only in the winter months．  Campaigners said the results of the star count， supported by the British Astronomical Association， showed the problem of light pollution and how it ‎ affected one of the countryside's most magical sights-a dark， starry night sky． They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government， local councils and the general public to reduce the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings．  Emma Marrington， dark skies campaigner at the CPRE， said "We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count． But it's deeply disap-pointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars． Without any action， our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light， ruining the health of the natural world． "  She added： "The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen． Light doesn't respect boundaries， and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities．"  She suggested better-designed lighting， street light dimming （暗淡）systems and part- night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution， reduce carbon emissions and save money．   ‎ ‎7. What effect does the light pollution bring about to England？ ______ ‎ A. It leads the stars to disappear． ‎ B. It makes the countryside dim． ‎ C. It makes the environment D. It prevents the people seeing ‎ terrible． ‎ ‎ stars． ‎ ‎8. What causes the light pollution according to the text？ ______ ‎ A. More and more buildings． ‎ B. Less and less outdoor activities． ‎ C. The overuse of artificial light． ‎ D. The spread of light in the countryside． ‎ ‎9. How does Emma feel about the stargazers' efforts？ ______ ‎ A. Disappointed． ‎ B. Surprised． ‎ C. Regretful． ‎ D. Appreciative． ‎ ‎10. What is Emma's suggestion for dealing with the light pollution？ ______ ‎ A. Using street‎ lights wisely． ‎ B. Turning off lights at night． ‎ C. Spreading light further． ‎ D. Changing the streets1 design．‎ 二、 阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)‎ When it comes to helping students learn and mature， there

head tilting （倾斜）down， saying with great excitement， "Look what I found! "  In his hand was a flower， and what a pitiful sight， with its petals （花瓣）all worn． That's because there was not enough rain or light． Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play， I forced a small smile and then turned away． But instead of leaving， he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with certainty． He said， "It surely smells pretty and it's beautiful， too． That's why I picked it and it's for you．"  The flower before me was dying or dead． But I knew I must take it， or he might never leave． So I reached for the flower and replied， "Just what I need．" But instead of placing the flower in my hand， he held it mid-air without reason． It was then that I noticed for the first time the boy was blind．  I heard my voice shake and my eyes were full of tears as I thanked him for picking the very best one． Hesmiled， and then walked off to play， unaware of the effect he had on my day．  I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree． Meanwhile， I felt confused about the reason why he tried to make me happy by showing the flower？ Perhaps from his heart， he enjoyed the world with true sight．  注意：  1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；  2．应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； ‎ ‎ 3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；  4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语．  Paragraph 1：  Through the kindness of the blind child， I achieved some new awareness．____________  Paragraph 2：  Then I stood up and walked to the boy．________________________‎ ‎ ‎ 英语试卷答案 一、 阅读理解 (本大题共10小题，共25.0分)‎ ‎【小题1】B ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】A ‎【小题1】A ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】C ‎【小题1】D ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】C ‎【小题4】A 二、 阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)‎ ‎【小题1】E ‎【小题2】A ‎【小题3】B ‎【小题4】F ‎【小题5】D 三、 完形填空 (本大题共20小题，共30.0分)‎ ‎【小题1】D ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】C ‎【小题4】D ‎【小题5】B ‎【小题6】A ‎【小题7】B ‎【小题8】C ‎【小题9】C ‎【小题10】A ‎【小题11】B ‎【小题12】A ‎【小题13】B ‎【小题14】D ‎【小题15】D ‎【小题16】D ‎【小题17】A ‎【小题18】C ‎【小题19】D ‎【小题20】D 四、 语法填空 (本大题共1小题，共15.0分)‎ ‎36【答案】‎ ‎【小题1】made ‎【小题2】action ‎【小题3】highest ‎【小题4】invovled ‎【小题5】children ‎【小题6】to get ‎【小题7】at ‎【小题8】improves ‎【小题9】a ‎【小题10】that ‎ 五、 书面表达 (本大题共2小题，共40.0分)‎ ‎37【答案】‎ Dear Peter，   Learning from your email that you're interested in the upcoming Sports Meeting，I'm rather delighted topresent the details to you and invite you to participate in it．（高分句型一）（写信目的）  As scheduled， the event will be held on the playground， beginning on next Monday and ending on next Wednesday， which will last about three days． （高分句型二）（时间和地点）There will be many events for you to join in． Besides regular sporting events such as long jump，relay race and rope skipping． you will also find more games such as cyclingrace and weightlifting．（竞赛项目）With so many events for you to choose from， I'm sure there must be one suitable for you．（邀请他参加）  Yours，  Li Hua ‎38【答案】‎ Paragraph 1：      Through the kindness of the blind child， I achieved some new awareness，I could see the problem was not with the world； the problem was me． And although I had a good sight， for all of those times I had been blind ‎．【高分句型一】I couldn't see the beauty of the world but the ugly part of the world．  From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second that's mine． （作者意识到自己的问题）  Paragraph 2：      Then I stood up and walked to the boy．I picked him up and kissed the boy． The boy touched my cheek and reached the flower to me and said， smell it， how sweet it is． Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy． I felt thankful to the blind boy who made a big difference to me by showing me the flower． 【高分句型二】（男孩对作者有很大影响）‎
