When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best 16 for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother’s “helpful instructions” only managed to make me more 17 .
Since I could no longer 18 with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. I loved him, 19 I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a(n) 20 father-daughter relationship. He’d ask how school was, and I’d say it was fine. 21 , that was the most of our conversations.
As we got into the car that first time, I was not 22 about what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost 23 , besides a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would 24 the radio so I could enjoy his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about his first meeting with Mom, “basic body” gym class, and other 25 from his past.
Dad’s sudden talk was shocking until I thought about 26 he was telling me so much. In all the years, I always 27 why my father never spoke that much. I never considered it was because I had never spent time 28 . Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and I never thought my 29 father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving ability has greatly improved. More importantly, the 30 between my father and I has also improved. Just living with him wasn’t enough—it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.

Max and Holly sat beside each other in a classroom. Their teacher Miss Carr stood at the front of the classroom and looked at them with a strange stare. “Silence!” Miss Carr shouted. “You’re only allowed to speak if you want to say “I’d like to do extra hard MATH”, understand ”
Then the bell rang for lunchtime and everyone jumped to their feet. “Sit down!” shouted Miss Carr. Everyone did as they were told. Miss Carr held up some sheets of paper. “These are new school rules, written by our wonderful new headteacher, Mr. Roberts, ” she said. “You must do exactly as they say from this moment on. I want everyone to take a copy for your parents.”
“Look at this!” Max said, reading the first line. “Rule one: No pupil will be allowed to go out at playtime unless they have passed a daily spelling test.” Max and Holly then continued to look at the other new school rules.
“Rule two: We’re not supposed to be in here at lunchtime.”
“Rule three: Pupils must eat cabbage stew or sprout for lunch.”
“Rule four: All P. E. will now take place outdoors—no matter what the weather is.”
…
“Something’s wrong.” said Holly, “Things have been strange ever since Mr. Roberts took over as our head teacher last week. We need to find out what’s going on.”
Then Max and Holly walked to the teachers’ office and stepped inside, surprised to find that many teachers have been tied up in the room! From their words, Max and Holly knew that the teacher in the classroom just now was just a robot clone (克隆) and she was not real Miss Carr, even the new headmaster! Max and Holly then succeeded in freeing all the teachers trapped.
“We’ll deal with those rotten robots!” said one of the teachers, as they ran out of the room.
“How can I ever thank you, Max ” asked the real Miss Carr.
“How about no homework for the rest of the school year.”
Finally, Max and Holly realized that the school rules made by their real headmaster were so nice.

Students pass their schoolwork through different hands, from their group leaders to the class representative (课代表) , and finally to the teacher. It might not sound too difficult, but sometimes it can go wrong and take a lot of time.
To deal with this problem, Zhang Xirui from Shenzhen Gezhi Academy in Guangdong came up with a useful tool—a smart homework collection robot. This won him first prize in the20th Guangdong Provincial Children’s Invention Awards.
The robot uses radio frequency identification (RFID射频识别) technology—a reader and a special tag (标签) that can share information without touching each other. This way, it can help find and know what it is looking for. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with his or her name and the subject. Students only need to place their notebooks on the robot, and the machine “sees” the notebook, reads its tag and takes it out of the name list. “Teachers can check who hasn't turned in homework by connecting their phones with the robot through WiFi”, the 13-year-old explained to Shenzhen Satellite TV.
▲ Now, he’s planning to develop a third-generation and hopes to use ultra-high- frequency (超高频) radio technology to read lots of RFID tags from far away. That means if you stick a special tag on your notebook, the robot can read the information from a thick stack (堆) of notebooks at once. Zhang believes this is the key to how artificial intelligence can make life easier for us.
Zhang dreams of becoming a scientist when he grows up. “I have tried making model airplanes and other scientific and creative projects. Inventing has brought me joy and happiness,” he said.
38.What is the disadvantage of the traditional way to pass students’ schoolwork
A. It might be too difficult.
B. It may cost too much money.
C. It can go wrong and take a lot of time.
D. Only the teacher passes the schoolwork.
39.What is the right order of the following facts according to the passage
a. The machine “sees” the notebook and reads its tag.
b. Students place their notebooks on the robot.
c. The machine takes the student’s notebook out of the name list.
d. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with his or her name and the subject.
A. b-c-d-a B. b-d-a-c C. d-b-a-c D. d-b-c-a
40.Which sentence can be put in the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4
A. The robot is difficult to develop.
B. The robot can make life easier for us.
C. The robot is the third-generation model made by Zhang.
D. The robot is the second-generation model made by Zhang.
41.What’s the main idea of the passage
A. How a special RFID tag is used.
B. A boy has a dream to be a scientist.
C. How artificial intelligence can make life easier for us.
D. A student invented a smart robot that collects homework.
D
①Of all the animals on Earth, none are more willing to explore than humans. Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans are searching for possibilities of discovery (发现). So what caused us to explore across the world
②Maybe it’s in our DNA．In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen carried out a study of a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risk, exploring, and getting new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don’t. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes (游牧的部落) than in tribes that like to stay in one place better. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found out more to support Dr. Chen’s research.
③But can one gene be a drive (驱动) for the need to explore Dr. Kidd doesn’t think so. He thinks DRD4-7R might make people get more curious (好奇的), but other important sets genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration.
④The environment we live in also makes much difference to our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries. This made others try to make themselves become rich through exploration too. Therefore, their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes.
⑤ Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R gene. Or maybe it has more to do with what’s happening in the world around us. Maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and so on because that’s just what humans do.
42.What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-7R gene
A. It has more influence on people in Africa.
B. It could be found in most of the humans.
C. It prevents the people in Africa from moving around.
D. It may be more common in people who like taking risk.
43.What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show
A. The purpose of exploring. B. The importance of the environment.
C. The advantage of exploring. D. The big changes of the environment.
44.What is the structure of this passage
A. B. C. D.
45.Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. Genes’ influence on humans. B. Humans’ need to explore.
C. What causes humans to explore. D. How do humans explore.

“All grown-ups were once children but only few of them remember it.” It’s a thoughtful sentence from a famous book, The Little Prince. The book first came out in 1943 and it was written by the French writer, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944).
The main character lives on the planet B612 alone. He leaves his star to travel and meets different kinds of people from other planets such as the King, the drunk, the businessman and so on. During the travel, the young prince discovers that people all look for happiness but they often fail because of their so-called “business”. In the real life, we are often busy with our study and work just like a walking dead body. We grew up and threw away a lot of memories, but thanks to this book we can look back what we have forgotten.
Though it is a children’s book, it’s also written for teenagers and adults. People of all ages can read this book and have their own understanding of it. The story’s true meaning is between the lines said by the fox: “One sees clearly only with the heart. What is important is invisible to the eyes.” Other key messages are also explained by the fox, such as: “You become responsible forever for what you have tamed (驯服).” The fox’s messages are unquestionably the book’s most famous ideas because they deal with human relationships.
It is a book about life and love, and The Little Prince can make people feel warm and fresh.
