A
Robots aren’t only in the movies or on TV. One “real” robot recently married a couple at a wedding ceremony in Tokyo, Japan.
Fifty guests stood as the music played and the bride(新娘)walked down towards the groom
(新郎). Only one guest stayed seated - the minister(牧师), who happened to be a robot. For this special ceremony, the four-foot tall robot named I-Fairy wore flowers around her head. I-Fairy’s eyes flashed colored lights as she pronounced the couple man-and-wife and asked the groom to kiss the bride. The wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to the company that built I-Fairy.
A robot might seem like an unusual choice(选择)to lead a wedding, but if you knew the couple you would think I-Fairy was the perfect choice. That’s because the groom teaches robotics at a university and the bride works for the company that built I-Fairy. The newly married couple hopes their wedding will encourage more uses for robots. They hope their wedding will give people ideas about ways in which they might use robots to do “everyday things” in their lives in the near future.

A. bride B. groom C. reporter D. minister
47. Which is TRUE about the robot?

A. science B. book C. magazine D. cartoon
49. We can learn from the last paragraph that________·
A. it is very usual for robots to lead weddings
B. a robot is the perfect choice for everybody’s wedding
C. the wedding is expected to encourage people to use robots more

B
Lightning(闪电)is shocking, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes(袭击)every day in the world-that’s thirty strikes every second.
Lightning can also be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28,000 degrees centigrade. American Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times!
So, why does lightning strike? Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub(摩擦)together, and cause atmospheric(大气层的)changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge(静电电荷). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth. It’s the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans. About 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.
Lightning is certainly not something to toy with. When lightning strikes, it’s best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Trees attract lightning. Also, do not lie down on the ground, otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease.
51. Lightning strikes ________.
A. happen three billion times each day
B. will start when there are big fires
C. can reach very high temperatures
D. kill all those who work in a park
52. What does “surviving” in paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?
A.目睹 B.幸存 C.制造 D. 遇难
53. We can infer(推断)from paragraph 3 that ________.
A. lightning strikes are caused whenever ice and water meet
B. lightning between two clouds is the most dangerous for humans
C. lightning strikes create static charge
D. about one tenth of the people struck by lightning die every year in America
54. Which expression means “to toy with” in the last paragraph?
A. to play with B. to take seriously C. to show off D. to take it easy
55. Where’s the best place to be when lightning strikes?
A. On top of a hill. B. In a swimming pool. C. In a tree. D. Inside.

A “blog” is like an online diary. David writes his first blog.
DAVID’S BLOG |
Hello! I am in computer science class right now. We have some free time before the bell rings, so I thought I would start my blog. It was Sarah’s idea. Both our parents have been complaining about our long distance telephone bills. Now, we can’t call each other very often. Sarah thinks we can keep in touch by reading each other’s blogs. So here goes... I am having a hard time right now, to be honest. I am not doing very well in history at school. I am trying really hard, but I am still getting low marks. My dad says that I can’t join the football team. Anyway, Allen said that he would help me with homework after school today. It’s pretty bad when your elder brother feels sorry for you! I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I usually pay attention in class and I do all my homework. But during the test, I read the questions over and over again, but I don’t know what to write. Gosh! There are so many facts and dates to remember in history. How can I remember them all? So...does anyone have any study tips for me? Sarah says that I should eat more fish. I don’t know if that will help, but I will try! If I pass the test, I’ll thank the seafood! Later, David |
61. Where is David right now?
62. What does David’s dad say?
63. Who is Allen?
64. Why does David feel history difficult?
65. What does Sarah advise David to eat?
