However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness over the next few days. “Why didnt anyone say hi to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?” she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Annas problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people dont like talking with strangers. So its your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, “Hey, hows everything going?” In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!56. What was Annas problem?A. She was afraid of entering a new school. B. She had no friends in her new school.C. She didnt like making friends with strangers.

I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate him.Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully(遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.”I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.However, the moment that really reached my heart occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was interviewing a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership(领导层) of the village.Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful. 61.Why did the writer take his son to Haiti?A. Because they wanted to take a trip there B. Because the writer wanted to educate his son.C.

CWhats going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC. Digital money We used to pay with cash(现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital(电子的) money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash. When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now its hard to live without them. Its reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next. Bionic(仿生的) eye Its no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data(数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(高清的) image could be just a few years away. Self-driving cars Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car wont get distracted(分神) by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly (严格地遵守)to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce（减少） the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted. 66. _ has stopped using cash completely. A. Sweden B. ATM C. BBC D. America 67. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money? A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money. B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash. C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card. D. ATM cards arc always popular. 68. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film. B. Human drivers wont get distracted by something outside. C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future. D. There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used. 69. From the report, we can learn some information about _. A. culture and art B. industry and farming C. science and technology D. traffic and journey 70. Which of the following can be predicted(预测) from the passage? A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road B. The blind could use cameras to see things around. C. We would live a hard life with digital money. D. Robots would control the world. 第二部分 非选择题（55分）五、词汇运用（15分）A根据括号中所给的汉语提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，每空一词。（5分）1.I had an _(采访)with an film star yesterday.2.

Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesnt stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) oth
