Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.A report shows that without a good nights sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.（1）The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because_A . he didnt have enough sleepB . it wasnt time for him to get upC . he didnt want to go to schoolD . he wanted his mother to wake him up（2）In this passage we know if students dont get enough sleep, they may_A . become too weak to sleepB . not work well in classC . go to bed earlyD . be weak in English（3）In this passage “early birds” means “persons who _”A . get up earlyB . get up lateC . sleep lessD . dont want to sleep（4）According to the passage, which of the following is right?_A .

As there is not enough room for so many clocks， the man has to put clocks into some boxes under the beds in his house.Mr. Clock likes his large collection of clocks， but his wife，Mrs. Clock does not enjoy them at all. She complains（抱怨）every day because she has to do much work，for it is not easy to clean hundreds of clocks. She also complains about the noise. Each clock keeps a different time.

The computer was made to be as human as possible. It was taught to talk to humans. It has also learnt from what people have said to it. This has helped it become more human.What makes George talk is called Jabberwacky. It won the Loebner Prize not long ago. The prize is a contest to find the most realistic artificial intelligence (现实的人工智能). In 2006, scientists talked to the computer. They typed questions to it, and it answered.Jabberwacky first appeared in 1982. It has been gelling better every year since then. The list of things that the computer says to a human is getting bigger and bigger. It means the computer has more things to say when you talk to it.It is hoped that a computer like this will do our jobs in call centres. When Jabberwacky is more realistic, this will be possible.（1）From the passage, what can we know about George? A . Hes a computer.B . Hes a monkey.C . Hes an engineer.D .

Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔嗒) sounds with his tongue(舌头) to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙蝠), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.How does sonar work?When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). Its like having a conversation with the environmentWhen you click, what do you see in your mind?Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every directionWhat is it like riding a bike using sonar?Its exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do.Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone (骨头) as a kid.”How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isnt in the eyes, its in the mind.（1）Whats the main idea of Paragraph 2? A . Kish explains how sonar works.B . Kish teaches people how to use sonar.C . Kish started to move around using sonar.D . Kish is good at riding a bicycle in traffic.（2）How does sonar work? Choose the right order. a. The sound waves reflect off surfaces.b. The person makes a clicking sound.c. The brain makes images with the sounds.d. The sound waves reach the persons ears.A . b-a-c-dB . b-d-a-cC . a-b-d-cD . b-a-d-c（3）What can we know about Kish from the passage? A . He always challenges himself bravely.B . He lives in fear of things that he imagines.C . He became blind when he was 14 years old.D . He broke his bone when climbing as a child.（4）What would be the best title for the passage? A . How Sonar Works.B . Riding a Bike Using Sonar.C . Seeing with the Mind.D . How the Blind Move Around.四、 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） (共1题；共10分)13. （10分）信息归纳 It is believed that social networks allow people to make their online social circle larger. But having 150 friends on WeChat is not the same thing as having 150 friends in real life.

Here are some of the top comments(评论). left and right I have more than 1,000 friends in WeChat. However, the number of friends I communicate with daily is less than 50, most of whom are my classmates and families. So many friends are just there and we never speak any word. Kris Wilson Choy I have almost 300 friends in my WeChat. However, people who I often send messages to is just 10. Most of these friends are classmates or people who work with me. Except work or studying, we hardly talk with each other during our spare time. Monica To be honest, as an English teacher since 1981, I have more than 400 WeChat friends, most of whom are my students, students parents, and workmates. Although we seldom meet face to face, our ties still remain normal. You see, they often ask me questions online, which I answer happily. Of course, sometimes I feel upset when they ask me to vote (投票) online or give likes. However, I generally do as requested, because it serves to glue our ties.Information CardThe things that make peoples online social circle larger_The persons who left and right talks with in daily life_The topic that Kris talks with his WeChat friends in his free time_The number of teaching years of Monica_The reason why Monica does as requested although she feels upset_五、 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) (共1题；共15分)14. （15分）Where are they?This is Tommys bedroom(卧室).
