Lets look at the strangest inventions from across the globe.THE TOMATO-FEEDING ROBOTJapanese juice seller, Kagome, invented a robot that will feed you tomatoes with its long metal arms extended on either side of your face while you run. Originally created for the Tokyo Marathon, the robot even has a timer so that tomato-eating runners wont use up their supply too quickly.THE ROLLING BENCHIts lunchtime and many people may be looking for a park bench to sit on, but the rain has made every surface humid.

Many players are known for their skills or the records they broke. But Roberto was loved not only for his ability in sports，but also for the kind of person that he was.Roberto was born in 1934 in Carolina，Puerto Rico，whose family struggled financially. As a young boy，he helped his father，who worked on a sugar farm and also managed a store that sold food.In school，Roberto was an excellent runner. But more than anything， he loved playing baseball. Puerto Ricos warm island climate made it easy for the young boy to play baseball all year. But he was good at throwing balls to a great distance.While in high school，Roberto played baseball for the Santurce Crabbers in the Puerto Ricos Winter League. At 18，Roberto was already hitting a baseball better than many professional players in the United States.This ability was recognized the following year. An official from the Brooklyn Dodgers team in New York City came to Puerto Rico looking for new young players. The official，Al Campanis， was pleased with Robertos skills. He offered to give him a 10,000 dollar gift to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.But Roberto was unable to join the major league team because he was still in high school. The young baseball player told Mr. Campanis that he would join the Brooklyn team as soon as he finished school.So Roberto joined the Brooklyn Dodgers after finishing high school. But Roberto began playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1955.Roberto stood out among the other players in his team. The Pittsburgh Pirates did not do well the first few years when Roberto played in the team. But in 1960，everything changed. That year， he played in the first of his 12 AllStar games. Every year， the best players from the National and American leagues pete in an AllStar game. That same year， Roberto helped his team beat the New York Yankees to win the World Seriesthe national baseball championship.Roberto died on December 31,1972，in a plane crash while attempting to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.5Roberto Clemente was highly honored because _.Aof his intelligence Bhe had no petitorsChe was kind and generous Dof his personality and skills6What do we know about Roberto according to the text?ARoberto was not helpful.

I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all- it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it.The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力)you choose may be the goal of life; because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extend by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, to imagine makes us different from animals.Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. Ive got a very long way to go them!Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. Its the journey that really matters. Success is what you bee in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.13What is personal success according to the author?A. Winning public recognition B. Being an unhappy millionaireC. Something impossible to define simply D. Succeeding in doing what you want14According to the text, humans are different from animals in_.A. belief B. freedom C. imagination D. success15What can be the best title for the text?A. What is success B. No true successC. How to be successful D. Success is reaching a destination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。 While you are traveling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals.16 Touching Someone17 In Mediterranean countries, if you dont touch someones arm when talking to them or if you dont greet them with kisses or a warm hug, youll be considered cold. But backslap(拍背) someone who isnt a family member or a good friend in Korea, and youll make them unfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacrednever even pat a child on the head.Talking Over DinnerIn some countries, like China,Japan and some African nations, the foods the thing, so dont start chatting about your days adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.18 Its not because your group is unfriendly, but because meal times are for eating, not talking.

People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 24was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 25 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 26. Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 27 to deal with was that the day before the28 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 29 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to30 . It wasnt until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 31her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 32everything so harshly（刻薄）. She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 33 as well. Perhaps most of us arent as extreme at fault-finding, 34 when were honest, we can be sharply 35 of the world. Im not suggesting you 36problems, or that you pretend things are 37than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are 38 most the time, and especially when its not a really big 39 .Train yourself to bite your tongue”, and with a little 40 , youll get really good at letting things go.

The experts say people should obey their bodies and they should drink as 45 water as they feel like drinking.The report contains some general 46 (suggest). The experts say that women should get about 2.7 liters of water 47 (day). Men should get about 3.7 liters. But wait in each case, that is more than eight glasses. There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. 48 fact, the experts say that 49 may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily requirement can include the water 50 (contain) in foods. 第四部分：写作(共两节, 满分35分)第1节 ：短文改错 (共10分;每小题1分,满分10分) 短文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(), 并在此符号下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改： 在错的词下划一横线, 并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1、每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2、只允许修改10处, 多者(从第11处起) 不计分。My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.第二节:书面表达（100单词左右，不要直译，25分）假如你是李雷。你的好友韩梅梅因不擅长与别人交流，感到非常痛苦。最近，她来信向你求助。请你根据一下提示给她写一封建议信，鼓励她走出困境。主要内容应包括：1.我们周围不擅长交流的人挺多的，劝她不必为此事苦恼；2.告诉她与别人有效地交流是很重要的。与她人搞好关系，可以有助于我们的学习，还能增加成功的机会；3.结合自身，给出合理的建议鼓励她走出困境。Dear Han Mei Mei,I know you are feeling annoyed these days because All the best.Yours,Li Lei一 阅读1-5 CBADD 6-10 CACBC 11-15 DDDCA 16-20 EAGFC二完型21-25 BDBCA 26-30 CDBAD 31-35ACBAD 36-40DCBAB三语法填空1.are supposed 2. a/one/every 3. what 4.
