第一节（共15小题；小题2分，满分30分）

A

It’s a long-term question for teachers: how do you get children who hate physical activity to take part in PE lessons? A Northampton primary school believes it has the answer. Designed to make the least active pupils take an interest in their fitness, a program has been introduced at Lings Primary School. And not only have the pupils deve loped an interest in activities ranging’ from football to ballroom dancing, according to the school, but their school work has also improved significantly.

The students also turn up on time—Lings now has the best attendance record in the county at 98 percent—and results have improved: 86 percent of pupils now achieve the required standard in English and maths tests for 11-year-olds, compared with only 44 percent four years ago.

The turnaround has been achieved by simply making PE fun. Instead of climbing wall-bars and running on the spot, the pupils practice exercises such as moving like animals. One routine involves crawling around the floor like a bear and moving around like gorillas. In another the children try to maintain their balance on the boards made of rubber, all of which stretch their muscles and improve their fitness.

Baroness Campbell, who chairs the Youth Sport Trust, which designed the program, said, “We want to show young people that physical activity is fun and a great way to learn skills whi ch will stay with them for life.”

21. How did Lings Primary School get students interested in physical activities?

A. By making the classes full of fun.

B. By improving their school work.

C. By increasing students’ attendance.

D.By getting help from some students.

22. What do the pupil s practice in PE lessons now?

A. Running on the spot.

B. Climbing over wall bars.

C. Moving around like bears.

D. Keeping balance on rubber boards.

23. What can be inferred about the program?

A. It is popular among active students.

B. It has benefited most students a lot

C. It was designed by Baroness Campbell.

D. It made all students punctual in class.

B

Although most hitchhikers (搭便车的人) are people, passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers. But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot? Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside?

That is die answer Canadian professors, David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller, who study the relationship between humans and technology, are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot.

HitchBOT is built with cheap household items. Thanks to a PC tablet, GPS tracker and camera, hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public, but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks. The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through.

Not surprisingly, many people are doubtful about hitchBOT’s ability. Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone. Actually, they are all wrong. The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Victoria, British Columbia, a distance of 3,700 miles. It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple. It not only reached its destination on August 21st, but also had some amazing adventures along the way. It visited national parks, went fishing, went camping, and even attended a w edding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride’s speech.

In addition to helping it get to its destination, its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape (披肩) to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil.

24. Why is the hitchhiking robot built?

A. To help passers-by reach their destinations.

B. To find out how people might react to it.

C. To see if it will give rides to strangers.

D. To entertain drivers on their way.

25. The hitchBOT can do all of the following except .

A. talking with the driver

B. dancing with people

C. sending its thoughts and pictures

D. answering any question raised

26. How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination?

A. Nearly a month.

B. Over one month.

C. Two months.

D. One week.

27. What can we learn about the hitchBOT?

A. It was ignored by an elderly couple.

B. It didn’t meet with any danger along the way.

C. It experienced a long and amazing journey.

D. It will be put into the market quickly.

C

In today’s fiercely competitive business environment, companies need to communicate information concerning a whole range of issues i n a clear and precise manner to their customers. This is particularly so in the case of companies do business in areas such as manufacturing, information technology (IT), engineering products and services — companies whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its technical aspects.

These communicat ion materials are prepared in a company these days by “technical writers” — people who can effectively communicate to an intended audience.

Technical writing and riling text-books are poles apart. The former it aimed at those who do not have an in-depth knowledge about a product and therefore should be direct and easy to understand. Too many technical terms would only add to the confusion of the customer. Technical writers first need to understand the technical information themselves before trying to communicate it in easier language to the customers. Even graduates of English literature are often found wanting when it comes to creative and effective writing.

This simply means that those with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature along with a diploma/degree in Journalism and having a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) are ideal (理想的) candidates for being employed as technical writers.

A career in technical writing is seen as a good choice for women mainly because it is widely held that women are more gifted in creative writing than men and the job does not involve too much travelling or working at night.

28. What are “technical writers” supposed to do?

A. To write about the company’s products or services in clear, easy language.

B. To w rite about the company’s products using correct technical terms.

C. To effectively communicate to an intended audience by writing letters.

D. To travel around to persuade people to buy the company’s products or services.

29. Which of the following best exp lains the underlined word “wanting” in Paragraph 3?

A. being needed.

B. wanting to write.

C. hoping to be employed.

D. lacking in ability.

30. What would happen if many technical terms are used in technical writing?

A. It would sound too formal.

B. It would help engineers a lot.

C. It would confuse the customer.

D. It would produce a better effect.

31. Who would be the best candidate for a technical writer?

A. A man with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.

B. A female with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.

C. A male graduate of English literature with a diploma in Journalism.

D. A woman with a degree in English literature along with a diploma in Journalism.

D

Good computer skills are desi rable in today’s digital age, and playing computer games can help children practice those skills —as long as they don’t overdo it, scientists warn. A British study found that those who played computer games less than

once a week achieved better grades at school than ones who played them twice a day or more often. The study also found that daily use of social media did not affect school performance.

“It was clear that social media didn’t have any impact. I think that’s more because social media is part of every child’s life. It’s the way they communicate. It’s the way they keep in touch with their friends,” said Celine McStravick of the National Children’s Bureau Northern Ireland.

Parents increasingly complain of having difficulty getting their children away from computer games. Some even seek help for their teenagers who they say are addicted to them. The study did not look into addiction, but suggested computer games can cause children to stay up late in the evenings，making them tired and less able to focus at school the next day.

Mark Starkey, the owner of the Heart of Gaming computer game outlet (批发商) in London, said there is also the difference between older games and the new ones.

“The ability to make games a lot more bigger, a lot more detailed, a lot more complex is here now. It’s going to hold their attention longer. ‘Oh my god, I have to see what happens next,’ etc. However, the old games challenge more your hand-eye coordination (协调), your speed, your timing, your reactions, rather than your imagination,” said Starkey.

The games industry has long claimed there is no proven link between games and addic tion. But the new study says additional research is needed to establish the effect of computer game- playing on performance at school.

32. We can learn from the passage that .

A. using social media daily has the same effect on students as computer games

B. older games have worse effect on students than newer ones

C. students may suffer from spending too much time playing computer games

D. there is no proven link between computer games and addiction

33. What’s Celine’s attitudes towards the use of social media?

A. Tolerant.

B. Supportive.

C. Doubtful.

D. Negative.

34. In which way do the old computer games benefit you?

A. Making you slay, up late at night.

B. Holding your attention much longer.

C. Distracting your attention on lessons.

D. Challenging your hand-eye coordination.

35. What can we infer from the passage?

A. It’s certain that most students are addict ed to games.

B. Further study will go deep into the game-playing effect.

C. Old computer games will obtain the larger half of market.

D. There is no way to find a link between games and addiction.

Respect your body.

Practicing good habits-regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image. ___40___

第二节作文（满分25分）

Dear Editor,

I am Li Hua, a Senior student from Hong Xing High School. Nowadays, with the

development of our society, more and more cultural relics are facing the danger of

disappearing. So we must attach importance to the problem and try our best to protect

them.

First, cultural relics represent our historic cultures, which offer us a great

opportunity to learn about what happened in the past. Also, they are the roots of

a city or a place. They can help us make our traditional cultures handed down from

generation to generation. More importantly, most of them ha ve survived for a long

time and they are usually very rare and valuable.

For above reasons, with the World Cultural Heritage Day coming ,we shouldn’t

hesitate to call on people to take action to save our treasures. I hope more and more

people will become concerned about protecting our cultural relics.

Yours Sincerely,

Li Hua
