Doing homework not only can help children master the knowledge they have learned, but also can train their abilities of finishing the work alone, planning the time and doing the duties. But some children don’t like to complete the work. Why? There are some reasons.

Some children feel it is very difficult to do their homework, because they can’t understand their teacher clearly, and can’t follow their teacher’s teaching process. Maybe there is something wrong with their intelligence.

But some children’s intelligence is normal. They are even cleverer, but they don’t listen to the teacher carefully. It is hard for them to sit well and pay attention to anything. It needs to carry on the attention centralized(集中注意力)training to help the children.

Some children love their teacher and then they like the subject. Their interest depends on the teacher who teaches them. So every teacher should be helpful and kind. It can make children love you and the subject you teach. So they can do their homework happily.

1.Doing homework can help children .

A.master the knowledge B.train their abilities

C.lean new lessons D.Both A and B

2.Some children find the homework difficult. Which reason is NOT right?

A.They can’t understand their teacher clearly.

B.They can’t follow their teacher’s teaching process.

C.The intelligence of all the students isn’t normal.

D.They don’t listen to the teacher carefully.

3.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “intelligence” in paragraph 2?

A.作业 B.智商 C.思想 D.方式

Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.

Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry.

One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers(激光器) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.

The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.

The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money had dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities(致命性) have declined by 67% and injuries by 51% , according to the National Mining Association.

Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most boring and dangerous jobs,but won’t get rid of the need for human workers.

1.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog, mainly because ________.

A. it can map abandoned mines

B. it has a real sense of logic

C. it can see in the dark tunnels

D. it’s smaller than Groundhog

2.The underlined phrase “throws a fit” in paragraph 4 probably means“________”.

A. gets sickB. gets angry

C. becomes hungryD. becomes cheerful

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A. the mine robots will have a very bright future

B. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry

C. there will be no need for human workers in mines

D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now

4.We can infer from the text that ________.

A. robots cannot do dangerous work in dark areas

B. the mining robots do most of the mining work at present

C. groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases

D. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work

Today is National Bike-to-Work Day. And on New York City’s jammed streets, people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes. But New York’s widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars.

When the weather is good, Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal(用踏板踩) his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle. Naparstek supports the new lane.

Aaron: The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it’s possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around. This is what 21st century New York City looks like.

Prospect Park West is still a one-way road, but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic, now it has two, plus a protected bike lane. Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone, including pedestrians, by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk. But some longtime residents disagree. Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety. She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic.

Lois: We wanted a lane — the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe, that would keep the bikers safe. But we want it to be done the right way. And it has not been done the right way.

Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan. I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own.

Craig: I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in. You took what used to be a full street and you’re shrinking it.

Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood. But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%. Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that a mandate.

Caroline: If this was an election, we would have already had our victory. The public has spoken and they keep speaking. And I think, more importantly, the public is starting to vote with their pedals.

1.What does Aaron mean by saying “This is what 21st century New York City looks like.”?

A. There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21 st century New York City.

B. Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York.

C. It’s possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York.

D. Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21 st century New York City.

2.According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bike lanes?

A. Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars.

B. We took what used to be a full street so the road is broader than before.

C. The two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents.

D. The removal of one bike lane through a neighbourhood in Brooklyn was not supported by the majority of New Yorkers.

3.“A mandate” in Paragraph 8 was referred to a demand or command from ________.

A. the authorityB. the government

C. the supportersD. the public

4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. Ride on National Bike-to-Work Day

B. A Bike Lane Divides New Yorkers

C. A New Bike Lane Appears in New York

D. Who Wins an Election

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Middle and high school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and sometimes boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing, and shouting happily before going back to the classroom again. But how should students spend their free time outside school?

In Western countries, it is common for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can earn their own money and learn more about the “real world”. They enjoy the extra independence and money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it seems that, in China, parents worry so much about their children’ studies that they would prefer to see their children spending most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams.

It is natural for parents to feel that way, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, Western school children work long hours after school to make money, and so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that all else becomes less important until they want that new MP4 player.

So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job, you’ll be happy, and your parents will also be happy because you’re spending your hard-earned money and not theirs!

Ever feel like you’ve been hit on the head after a bad night’s sleep? According to scientists, the thought isn’t as unbelievable as it seems.

A study found going without sleep for just one night causes changes in the brain similar to those that occur after a blow to the head. The researchers said the healthy young men examined in the study showed a sudden increase in the same chemicals which indicate brain damage. Professor Christian Benedict, of Uppsala University, Sweden, explained that the chemicals NSE and S-100B are biomarkers for brain damage, such as concussion(脑震荡). He said, "What we found was their levels in the blood rose in the group that went without sleep for a night. This was not to the extent that would happen after a head injury, for instance, but it was still significant. During sleep, the brain cleans poisonous substances off itself."

Benedict also said previous studies which linked a lack of sleep with increased risk of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis could applaud his study. The rise of the chemicals in the blood after sleep loss may suggest not getting enough sleep contributes to a loss of brain tissue, he explained. Benedict, whose study is published in the journal Sleep, added, "In conclusion, the findings of our experiment indicate a good night’s sleep may be critical to maintaining brain health."

A third of the UK population suffer from sleep-related problems, while the average person now sleeps for only seven hours a night, compared with almost nine a few decades ago. Many scientists believe irregular sleeping patterns lead to illnesses ranging from aches and pains to heart disease, while less than eight hours’ sleep a night can lower the IQ the next day.

1.If you don’t sleep for a night, what will happen?

A.NSE and S-100B will increase.

B.The brain damage will be likea head injury.

C.You will suffer from concussion.

D.The brain will get rid of poisonous substances.

2.What do we know about previous studies?

A.They found reasons for brain disorders.

B.Their findings were published inSleep.

C.They were supported by Benedict’s study.

D.They focused on brain health.

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.UK people have the worst sleep.

B.Man’s intelligence is affected by sleep in a way.

C.People were smarter in the past.

D.A lack of sleep causes all brain-related problems.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Eight hours’ sleep is important.

B.Regular sleeping patterns improve health.

C.Sleep loss is close to a blow to the head.

D.Human brains work during sleep.
