But he was a hard-working pupil even in his childhood. As a young man of a little over twenty, he became a small official of the state. Since he was very knowledgeable and serious in work, he had become quite well-known by the time he turned thirty. Confucius had been to many of the states of the time, trying to make his political views accepted by the rulers in running their states. But they turned a deaf ear to his views and opinions. As a result, Confucius made up his mind to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. They were accepted and so Confucius became the first man in the history of Chinese education to start a private school. Yan Hui, a young man of poor family, wanted to be accepted as Confuciuss student. But the family was so poor that they even had difficulty supporting their daily life. He was afraid he would be rejected as he could not afford the tuition. One day he came to where Confucius was giving lectures and overheard Confucius say, “Im ready to accept anyone that can bring 10 pieces of preserved meat for tuition, whatever his origin.” Hearing this, Yan Hui hurried back home and told his friends Zi Lu and Zi Gong about it. A few days later, all three became Confuciuss students.Confucius was a dedicated educator, having accepted a total of 3,000 students in his life, of whom 72 were outstanding scholars. Through educational work, Confucius succeeded in spreading his political views, which eventually became an independent school of thought and had a great influence on China for thousands of years.25. Confucius had become very famous by the time he turned thirty because _.A. he had rich knowledge and took his work seriouslyB. his political view had been widely acceptedC. he was a hard-working pupil when he was young.D. many people in the government knew him well26. When Confucius tried to introduce his political views, the rulers .A. were willing to accept his viewsB. refused to listen to himC. gave away something important to him.D. made their ears deaf27. What is the best title of the passage?A. The first private school in China.B. Famous students of Confucius.C. Confucius political views. D. Confucius great educator.CThe English language is full of phrases about the weather. Some of these phrases are easy to understand, but others are not really about the weather at all. If you say you “hit roughweather”, you may not be struck by a real storm, but you do experience difficulties or problems. If you dont know whatsuch phrases mean, they might leave you“in a fog”!In English, you can “shoot the breeze”, or have an informal chat. But things can also be a breeze. If you take an exam and find it very easy, youd tell your friends: “It was a breeze!” The wind can also bring information. You can “get wind of” a piece of news, and if someone“knows which way the wind blows”, they have a good idea about how things will work out. But dont “throw caution to the wind”that means taking a great risk!Clouds sometimes bring rain, and in English they often represent problems or difficulties. If someone“sees a cloud on the horizon”, there may be problems ahead. And if someone is“under a cloud”, then people think the person might have done something wrong. But clouds are not always bad; in fact, people say that “every cloud has a silver lining”. This means that there is a good side to every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. You may even end up “on cloud nine”, which means you are very happy! But some people have their “heads in the clouds”, not paying attention to reality.No one likes to be stuck in the rain or storm, so its no surprise that phrases about them are generally negative. When someone says“it never rains but it pours”, they are complaining that when things go wrong, they go very wrong. People who talk about “weathering a storm” just want to get through a difficult period or situation.28. It may be dangerous when you _.A. know which way the wind blows B. find that something is a breezeC. get wind of a piece of news D. throw caution to the wind29. If you look at something in a positive way, you may say _.A. you are under a cloud B. your head is in the cloudsC. every cloud has a silver lining D. you see a cloud on the horizon30. Phrases like “it never rains but it pours” and “weathering a storm” are related to something _.A. ChangeableB. unfavorable C. acceptable D. unbelievable31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Changeable weather in England.B. Advice on how to learn English phrases. C. Some English phrases related to weather.D. People in England like talking about weather.DA voice-controlled robot designed to serve the elderly, iPal performed a song from a classic Chinese opera, amusing the crowd with its sweet voice and exaggerated(夸张的) gestures at the 2018 World Robot Conference in Beijing.The robot reacts to touch and voice, turning its head towards elderly users and offering simple conversations. Besides singing opera, it can give weather reports and remind users to take their medicine.“iPal is designed to meet the needs of the elderly, especially Chinas empty-nesters(空巢老人), as it can help to reduce their loneliness and make sure of their safety. The robot, for example, can send a live show of its elderly users to their children or relatives. It can also send alerts(警报) if users are injured or someone is breaking into their home.” said Wang Wenping, marketing director of the robots producer AvatarMind, a Nanjing-based robotics company.“Chinas population is aging rapidly. However, senior care services are not sufficient to cover the growing demand. The elderly need to be cared for, and yet their children are often busy with work. This gives intelligent service robots a role to play in the future. We see a big market potential.” Wang said. AvatarMind is among the many Chinese robotics companies that plan to step into the senior care market.Though senior care robots have gained attention at exhibitions and received some market recognition, Chinese robotics companies still face great challenges.“Robots are only beginning to enter Chinas senior care market. It takes a lot of time and money to improve our products and attract new customers,” said Wang Wenping. “We need to make progress in combining robotics with AI(人工智能) and big data to make our robots smarter.”But Wang added that robots can help entertain and look after the elderly who live alone, but care from family is what really matters.32. What can we learn about iPal?A. It can fully meet the needs of the elderly. B. It is the best robot to serve the elderly. C. It can serve the elderly in many ways. D. It is very popular among the elderly. 33. Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4?A. Enough.B. Popular.C. Intelligent.D. Patient.34. What is the main challenge AvatarMind is faced with?A. How to get enough market recognition. B. Its robots are not accepted by the elderly at all.C. There is a long way to go to perfect their robots.D. The company cant produce enough robots for the market. 35. What is the most important to the elderly according to Wang Wenping?A. Making the robots attractive. B. Family care for the elderly.C. Making the robots smart enough.D. Combination with robots and big data.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It is common to experience culture shock when living in a foreign country for the first few months.
