When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldnt fall asleep. He still couldnt think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didnt know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old m an before Santa left for his next stop.By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook it for a dog.“Are you a reindeer（驯鹿）?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santas sled(雪橇)?”“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isnt it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, isnt flying what reindeer are famous for?”“Not me, Im afraid. It makes me frightened. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santas sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. Im afraid I just wasnt cut out for the job. Now Im trapped here and I dont know how to get back to the North Pole .”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny.

Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can access (获得) knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads?Civilizations (文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural (农业的) Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines give us access to most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter?Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases (偏见), and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective, but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers.Another problem relates to the ease of accessing information. When there were no computers, efforts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken beliefthe knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along.In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence, we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our well-being (健康) depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry; without energy we feel cold. And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps theyre not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we gradually but unquestionably become strangers to future people.（1）Why are smart machines likely to increase our biases? A . Because they go off course in testing and scoring.B . Because we control the training process on them.C . Because we offer them too much information.D . Because they overuse the provided answers.（2）The ease of accessing information from the Internet _. A . frees us from making efforts to learn new skillsB . prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speedC . misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledgeD . separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines（3）The word collapse in Paragraph 5 probably means _. A . a sudden failureB . the basic ruleC . a disappointing startD . the gradual development（4）What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage? A . To question about the standards of information storage.B . To discuss our problems of communication with machines.C . To stress the importance of improving our memorizing ability.D . To remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember.4. （8分）阅读理解。阅读下面的文章，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并涂在答题卡上相应的位置。Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371.

Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kms during the years of his travels.Zheng He led a fleet with 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers horses.On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He s travels. The Columbus of the east, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that, the new king, had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng Hes travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.（1）Why did Zhu Di want Zheng He to sail to many different countries?A .

At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, dont always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesnt work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.Finally, while doing homework, dont think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child thats aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.（1）In the first paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that _.A . doing homework is the first thing you should do at homeB . after-school activities cant affect doing homeworkC . parents can help kids with their homework at nightD . kids need a good rest after school（2）In the third paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that _.A . students should ask the teacher more questionsB . thinking over the questions before asking others is importantC . problems cant be solved without a teachers helpD . students shouldnt always look at the materials in the back of the book（3）The passage mainly tells children _.A . not to look away while doing homeworkB . to do homework by themselvesC . not to turn to teachers when doing homeworkD . to do their homework quickly and in the right way三、 任务型阅读(每小题1分，共4分) (共1题；共4分)6. （4分）阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）Mum and dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day. And they influence (影响) you more than anyone else you meet in your 1ife. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just like she does.But parents do a lot more than just passing on their hobbies. Mums and dads care for（关心）their children from the minute they were born. So they are the people we should respect(尊敬) and love best. Its very important to stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship with your parents. But not every child knows how to do this. Here are some ways to help you.Spend time together. Dont play a computer game or watch TV, ask your mum and dad to play with you. Go outside together, or read a book out loud.Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mum or dad. You can make your parents happy with a hug (拥抱), a card, or a joke（笑话）. Its also lovely when a child cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents might be very happy.Do your best at whatever you do. You dont have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud(自豪). It makes them happy to see how youre turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know youre doing a good job.Title: _influence children most_for respecting parentsParents do a lot more than just passing on their_and care for their _from the minute they were born.Some _about how to get along with (相处) your parents1).
