Back then, he dreamed of a day when robots might take over the dirty, repetitive（重复的）parts of his job, such as earth moving. Years later, Ready-Campbell left his job as an engineer with Google to make that dream e true.Ready-Campbell formed a pany called Built Robotics, which develops technology to produce self-driving heavy equipment. Ready-Campbell says the panys goal is to make construction safer, faster and less costly. The construction industry struggles to find skilled workers and faces a growing number of unfinished projects. But self-operating machines are changing the nature of building.Workers at Berich Masonry in Englewood, Colorado, recently spent several weeks learning how to operate a robot called SAM, or the Semi-Automated Mason. SAM is a $400,000 machine from the pany Construction Robotics, It can lay 3,000 bricks in eight hours. Thats several times more than a human bricklayer can do in the same period. But humans are still needed to load bricks into the SAM and make sure it works right. Bricklayer Michael Walsh says the SAM lessens the load on his body. But he doesnt think it will take his job.Brian Kennedy agrees, too. His organization supports the rights of construction workers in the United States and Canada. Kennedy says the union is not worried that machines will replace human workers any time soon.The rise of construction robots es as the building industry faces a severe decrease in labor supply. One recent study showed that 70 percent of construction businesses have a difficult time finding skilled workers. Mike Moy heads a mining operation for the building materials supplier Lehigh Hanson. He says its difficult to find people who even know how to operate some of the necessary equipment. “Nobody wants to get their hands dirty any more. They want a nice, clean job in an office,” he noted.21What does the first paragraph say about Noah Ready-Campbell?A. He enjoys doing repetitive work.B. He is now an employee of Google.C. He used to work in construction field.D. He joined Google to realize that dream.22Which of the following is one of the aims of Built Robotics?A. Increasing construction speed.B. Enlarging construction quantity.C. Improving construction designs.D. Changing construction steps.23What can be inferred about SAM from the text?A. It can totally replace human bricklayers.B. It is plexly built but easy to operate.C. It is unable to work pletely automatically.D. It is cheap but works much faster than humans.24In Mike Moys opinion, what prevents many construction businesses from finding skilled workers?A. Their low pay. B. Their potential risks.C. Their heavy work loads. D. Their poor working conditions.“This way, everyone.” said the young Bahamian as he led the way to the hoar. As the boat moved over the waves, I thought back eleven years to my first island visit via a cruise ship. As we landed, I noticed a sign advertising swimming with dolphins. I looked at my mother; she knew exactly what I wanted, but I was too young. “Maybe some other time,” she said. I think everyone knows that those four words usually translate to never. It made me, a little boy, depressed for many days. From that day on, it was my dream to swim with those gentle creatures.Now, after 15 minutes of travelling, we reached the Sanctuary Bay. As we arrived, I saw the gray creatures showing off their unique talent before my eyes. We were led off the boat, past a back building. Our guide told us we would have the pleasure of spending the next 90 minutes with Kaholo, a young male, and Robola, the largest female, who is quite famous for having played the lead in the film Zeus and Roxanne.My father and I were joined by four others and followed the man once more. He told us to jump into the water while he let the dolphins into that part of the bay. For the first 20 minutes, we could go anywhere and touch the dolphins as they swam by.Kaholo and Robola must have known I was their biggest fan because they swam towards me as if I had had fish. After the introductory period, they jumped over our heads. I got a hug and kiss from Robola, and also learned how to have Kaholo talk to me.This was by far the most magical experience of my life. Next time your parents say “Maybe some other day”, have faith in them. Your dreams are important to them too, and they will do whatever they can to make it possible, because dreams can e true.25What was the authors dream according to the text?A. Travelling with his parents.B. Swimming with dolphins.C. Visiting the Sanctuary Bay.D. Watching a film played by dolphins.26How did the author feel after the first island visit?A. Excited. B. Puzzled.C. Unhappy. D. Energetic.27What did Kaholo and Robola do during the visit?A. They stayed away from the author.B. They learnt to have a talk to the author.C. They had special interest in the authors fish.D. They showed a friendly attitude towards the author.28Whats the best title for the text?A. Dreams Do e TrueB. Play with DolphinsC. My Parents PromiseD. The First Island VisitWhen I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs.Stanley was one of my customers. Shed watch me ing down her street, and by the time Id biked up to her doorstep, thered be a cold drink waiting. Id sit and drink while she talked.Mrs.Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning. shed say.

Here are some reasons why reading is important.Reading teaches children about the world around them. 57They are exposed to ways of life, ideas and beliefs about the world which may be different from those which surround them. This builds a store of background knowledge, which helps younger children learn to read confidently.58When we read, our brains translate the descriptions we read of people , places and things into pictures. When we are reading a story, we are also imagining how the characters are feeling. We use our own experiences to imagine how we would feel in the same situationChildren who read do better at school. And they dont just do better at subjects like reading, English and history. 59Reading is a great form of entertainment! A paperback book or an e-reader doesnt take up much space so you can take it anywhere and youll never be lonely or bored if you have a book in your bag. 60Reading relaxes the body and calms the mind. 61The constant movement, flashing lights and noise are quite stressful for our brains. When we read in silence, the black print on a white page is much less stressful for our eyes and brains.A. Reading improves concentration.B. Reading develops a childs imagination.c. We seem to have forgotten how to relax and how to be silent.D. Children learn new words and greatly enlarge their vocabulary.E. They do better at all subjects and they do better all the day through school.F. You can read while waiting for a friend or during a flight delay at an airport.G. By reading, children learn about people, places and events outside their own experience.五、提纲类作文62假定你是李华,你班同学计划骑共享单车去湖边过端午节( the Dragon Boat Festival)。请给你校外籍英语教师Mike发一封邀请邮件,内容包括:1.会合地点、出发与返回时间;2.活动内容:吃粽子、看龙舟比赛。注意: 1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考词汇:粽子 rice dumpling 共享单车 shared bikes_参考答案第一部分：听力（共20个小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）1-5CBBBA 6-10ABBAB 11-15CBCCB 16-20BABCA 21C22A23C24D25B26C27D28A2930B3132B3334A3536D37C38B39C40D41A42B43C44D45A46A47C48D49A50B51B52D53C54B55A56D57G58B59E60F61C62Dear mike,Im honored to invite you to join in our class activity.
