When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, Why dont you go to school?

Its cold down there too. Theres no air to breathe. The water pressure is high. There may be fishes that could hurt you. The deep sea can be an unpleasant place. But people are still fascinated by it, not just because of the amazing scenery. The seafloor might hold the secret to the beginning of life on Earth.Oceans cover more than two-thirds of our planet. Yet, we have explored just a small part of the underwater world. A new project is there to explore the ocean deeper. A new US machine can carry people down to as deep as 6,500 metres. It will take the place of an older machine called Alvin. The old one has been in use for 40 years, but it can only go down to 4,500 metres. Alvin played a key role in many important tasks. Alvin helped biologists collect worms, chemists gather rocks, and oceanographers (海洋学家) map the seafloor and take water sample (样本).But now its about time for a new one. The new machine will be like Alvin. Itll also be about 27 feet long, about the size of a small school bus. The seating area inside will be small, about two metres wide. Like Alvin, itll carry a pilot and two passengers. It will be able to move like Alvin does. Itll give passengers more chances to enjoy the view. Alvin has only three windows. The new one will have five. It will travel more than a mile an hour faster than Alvin. Getting to the bottom faster and moving around more quickly will allow researchers to make the most of their time underwater.（1）According to the passage, at the bottom of the sea, _.it is parkpeople hide some secretsthere may be dangerous fishesthere is no sceneryit is coldthere is high water pressureA . B . C . D . （2）The underlined word fascinated in Paragraph 1 has the similar meaning as _. A . surprisedB . attackedC . attractedD . controlled（3）How many metres deeper will the new machine be able to go down the sea than Alvin? A . 2,000.B . 4,500.C . 6,500.D . 11,000.（4）This passage is mainly about _. A . the deep oceansB . new science and technologyC . a new project exploring the deeper seaD . a new machine called Alvin19. （9分）阅读下面的内容，按要求完成任务。Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information.They work very well in all kinds of learning.Here is an example to show us how to draw a mind map.To make the mind map even better，use color to show important ideas or parts of the map（1）根据上文介绍的三个步骤，将下列A、B、C、D四个选项进行排序。A. science B. school subjects C. school D. school activitiesStep 1： _Step 2：_Step3：_（2）将上述A、B、C、D四个选项组成一幅思维导图（组图时可用字母编号或所给词汇）20. （8分） TOKYO, JAPAN-What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂）？ Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器）.Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people cant,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾）to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(触须）. They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight. ”With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches dont always move in the right direction.（1）The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because _.A . they want cockroaches to do things people cant in the futureB . they want to control the movements of the cockroachesC . they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakesD . they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches（2）What can cockroaches do to help people?A . They can lift 20 times their own weight.B . They can help people to carry very small cameras.C . They can breed hundreds of cockroaches.D . They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.（3）Scientists control cockroaches movements _.A . by removing their wingsB . by sending signals from the remote controlC . by using very small camerasD . by removing their antennae（4）What problem do the rcscarchcrs meet with?A . The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move.B . The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction.C . The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble.D . The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight.四、 补全短文 (共1题；共1分)21. （1分）Please follow the _/instrk/ on the packet carefully. 五、 用所给单词的正确形式填空 (共5题；共5分)22. （1分）Does Miss Smith like _ on Saturday morning ?

The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.Eat properly. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them necessary energy, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldnt have too many sweet snacks and desserts in your diet, even though such food tastes delicious.Keep off germs(病菌). Daily tooth cleaning reduces the amount of germs which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you re not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And youd better rub both hands while washing them.Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance. Whats more, its good for bones. There are many forms of exercise: walking or running for about 30 minutes a day playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favorite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic(精力充沛的) but also think better after doing exercise.Stay connected（联系）.
