12．When I was a baby，I entertained you and made you laugh.Whenever I was "bad"，you'd shake your finger at me and ask， "How could you？"-but then you'd give up，and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
My housetraining was a long process，because you were terribly busy，but we worked on that together.We went for long walks，runs in the park and car rides.We stopped for ice cream.I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually，you began spending more time at work and on your career，and more time searching for a human mate.Eventually，you fell in love.She，now your wife，is not a dog person，but I still welcomed her into our home.I was happy because you were happy.Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement，I was fascinated by their pinkness，how they smelled，and I wanted to mother them too.Your wife was afraid I would bite them.But nevertheless，as they began to grow，I became their friend.
Now，you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets.You've made the right decision for your "family"，but there was a time when I was your only family.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound.It smelled of dogs and cats，of fear，of hopelessness.You filled out the paperwork and said， "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look.The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye.And "How could you？" were the only three words that swept over my mind.
Is it better to live with hope or without hope？At first，whenever anyone passed my pen，I rushed to the front，hoping it was you，that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.
My beloved master，I will think of you and wait for you forever.I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.
（1）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that.
A．the dog had done many bad things
B．the dog would be given less care
C．the master's decision upset the dog
D．the master left the dog with regret
（2）Why was the dog excited about the car ride？
A．It thought of moving with its master.
B．It hoped to be adopted （收養(yǎng)）by another family.
C．It was longing for the life at the pound.
D．It was happy about its master's decision.
（3）Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound？
A．It felt disappointed with its master.
B．It continued to love its former owner.
C．It did not trust humans any more.
D．It was excited about the pound.

D．Be faithful to those who love you.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5 -
13．How good are you at maths？Some people love the challenge of algebra（代數(shù)）or enjoy working out number puzzles.Maths is all around us，from working out how to share the bill after a meal，to calculating your family bills.But many are afraid of the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion.It can seem frightening，but this maths anxiety is perfectly normal，and you're definitely not alone.And anyway，our worries and fears don't necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood，at school.Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils，and girls may be more likely to be affected.The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15—and 16—year—olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems，33% said they got tense doing maths homework，and nearly 60% said they worried that maths classes would be difficult.Shulamit Kahn，a professor from Boston University，believes that giving students，particularly girls，good role models is critical，especially at a young age.She thinks the key is to get people，especially women who love maths，to teach younger children
Writing for the BBC，David Robson says， "It's not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography.But the fact that there's no room for playing tricks might make you more worried about underperforming." And once we assume that we're not a maths person，we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic（心算）can bring us out in a sweat.That seed of fear may come from many sources，but some suggest that voicing your fears can loosen their control over you.They also suggest encouraging children to see a maths test as a challenge，not a threat.Most importantly，we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
（1）What is the author's understanding of maths anxiety in paragraph 1？
A．It happens when you have to pay bills after a meal.
B．It actually reflects one's poor performance in maths.
C．Only students often suffer from this sense of worry.
D．People normally have it when dealing with numbers.
（2）What may cause students' maths anxiety according to the research？
A．The particular feature of maths.
B．The fear of failure in maths tests.
C．Students' dislike of learning maths.
D．Maths teachers' lack of confidence.
（3）What can we infer from David Robson's words？
A．Geography seldom causes worry.
B．Slow students have maths anxiety.
C．Dishonesty is difficult in maths tests.
D．Maths students like number puzzles.
（4）What is the best way to get over maths anxiety？
A．Speaking out your fears in public.
B．Employing female maths teachers.
C．Having a positive attitude to maths.
D．Viewing maths tests as a challenge.組卷：31引用：7難度：0.5 -
14． Cerebral palsy（腦癱）is the most common motor disability in children.The condition，which affects about 1 in 345 children，can make daily activities like walking，eating，or even lifting a cup difficult.A team of researchers from the University of California，Riverside （UCR） hopes to reduce the daily struggles with robotic clothing that will allow kids with cerebral palsy to better control their arm movements.
Wearable robotic units to help people with mobility issues have been around for many years.However，they are rigid and uncomfortable to wear.The UCR team plans to use light-weight materials to create a robotic sleeve that is cheap，durable，and，most importantly，comfortable to wear on a daily basis.
"Hard materials don't interact well with humans，" said Jonathan Realmuto，UCR assistant professor of mechanical engineering and project lead. "What we're going for by using materials like nylon and elastic are essentially robotic clothing."
The scientists envision the robotic sleeves to have sealed areas that can be inflated.When filled with air，they would become temporarily rigid and provide the force needed for movement.The clothing will be fitted with sensors to detect small muscle contractions and anticipate what the wearer wants to do.The inflated bladders（氣囊） will then help move the arm to complete the intended action.
"If we can help kids brush their own teeth，pour water or open doors，actions that others take for granted，it's a huge win for them，" Realmuto said. "And it's also a huge win for their families and caretakers."
The UCR engineers are not the only ones working on soft robotic clothing to help those with motor disabilities.San Francisco-based startup CIONIC is on a similar mission.The company's first product，the CIONIC Neural Sleeve，is designed to improve mobility for people with conditions like cerebral palsy，multiple sclerosis，and stroke.Jeremiah Robison，the founder of CIONIC，was inspired to develop the product after seeing his daughter struggle with cerebral palsy.
（1）What is the disadvantage of previous robotic clothing？
A．They are uncomfortable to wear.
B．They are not easy to carry around.
C．They aren't environmentally friendly.
D．They aren't affordable for most families.
（2）What improvement is being made to the existing robotic clothing？
A．Easy operation.
B．Adjustable design.
C．Soft material.
D．Simple structure.
（3）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about？
A．Why bladders are needed in the new unit.
B．How the improved robotic clothing works.
C．What material is used in the robotic sleeves.
D．What difficulty cerebral palsy patients have.
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．The UCR is teaming up with the CIONIC．
B．Soft robotic clothing is an emerging industry.
C．The CIONIC Neural Sleeve is quite popular.
D．Robison made robotic clothing for his family first.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.3

15．A summary is a piece of writing that tells the main ideas of something.It is basically a shortened version of a larger text that describes its main points. （1）
Follow these steps when writing a summary.
Carefully review the work you're summarizing.If you are writing a summary of a written text，make sure to read it carefully.Thus，you can take note of what the author is saying and why he is saying it. （2）Therefore，make sure to take detailed notes.
（3）Another way to ensure you are remembering important information is to underline words as you go.If you are watching something，write down time stamps of when important things happen.This makes it easier for you to look back on them when you are writing your summary.

A.Underline important information.
B.Try to remember important information.
C.But how can you write an effective summary？
D.It means that these main points should be written down in order.

18．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
At 63，Jerry Valencia was determined to get his college degree— and his master's degree，too.The student arrived early，sat front and center，and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I'd say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my undergraduate communications class at California State University，Los Angeles.He eagerly jumped into class discussions，with his modest humor and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students' views，as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one，too.
Valencia always said that these students gave him the confidence and joy that he didn't need to feel bad about his age.
One day，I found Valencia sitting on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year.By then，he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs he used to take to pay for his tuition.But he said he would still come to campus to attend events，see his friends and take the final exams.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in my communications class.
"Sure，" I said.
Soon there he was again，back at his old desk，front and center，jumping into our discussion s on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in my class.
For an assignment on changing neighborhoods，Valencia wrote about a favorite local chain restaurant that was"unceremoniously（隨便地） closed".He called it as a theft of childhood."It is almost as if someone has stolen that childhood and replaced it with a slippery hill where everything they cherish will slide away，"he wrote.A lot of Valencia's classmates apparently knew he couldn't pay that semester's tuition.However，he was still making his efforts to do the homework well.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
In my eyes，Valencia is an old man with strong will.

I was pretty astonished when hearing what he had said.
