【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Hannah Levine decided she wanted to give hugs to all of the children and families in need at local hospitals.
Because she couldn't give them one by one, Levine, then a sixth-grader, decided she would use her talents(才能) to do the next best thing. She began to knit(編織) hats, scarves, and blankets for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. Her creations also went to Bundle of Joy, a program that provides newborn baby items for families in need, and to Knitting Pals by the Bay, a local organization that provides hand-knitted caps to cancer patients.
“I love to knit, and I thought it would be a great idea to make all these handmade items for kids and adults who need them. It would be like a hug for them,” Levine explained.
Levine started the project about a year ago. “I think it's just really fun to do, and it keeps me busy,” said Levine, now 13.
Once she got started, Levine realized that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own hands. So she sent emails to her school and communities(社區(qū)), asking for knitted donations(捐贈(zèng)物) to the project she named “Hannah's Warm Hugs”. She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area. The warm goods began to gush in.
“It was amazing; more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door,” said Levine's mother, Laura Levine. “We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating.”
The knitted items numbered in the hundreds. Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December) and later received thank-you letters from the organizations. Levine is still knitting, and she said the project will continue.
“It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought,” her mom said. “It made her feel pretty good; it made us feel pretty good.”
（1）Hannah Levine knitted hats and scarves ________.
A.for children and families in difficulty
B.to raise money for cancer patients
C.to earn some pocket money
D.for the homeless in her neighborhood
（2）The underlined part “gush in” in paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “________”.
A.take off
B.run out
C.flood in
D.break in
（3）What would be Laura Levine's attitude toward Hannah Levine's project?
A.Optimistic but worried.
B.Proud and supportive.
C.Concerned but doubtful.
D.Unfavorable and uncaring.
（4）What would be the best title for the text?
A.Be ready to lend a helping hand
B.Start a project to show your support
C.Teen turns knitting hobby into heartwarming project
D.13-year-old girl becomes US best knitter

（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
（4）C

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.
But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
（1）According to the report, _____.
A.people won't necessarily lose jobs
B.big companies will face fewer challenges
C.small companies will win against big companies
D.most people will become interested in technology
（2）We can infer from the text that in the future _____.
A.people will face many difficulties
B.people will take up more creative jobs
C.artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives
D.most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
（3）What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?
A.Mixed.
B.Worried.
C.Hopeful.
D.Doubtful.
（4）Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.
A.there will be enough jobs for people
B.things will change a lot in a few years
C.many people will become unemployed
D.technology will totally change future jobs

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
It seems that no one can live a happy life without friendship. While a great number of people expect others to be their friends, they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships don't last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. Good friends always depend on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so that you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.
（1）Some friendships don't last long because ________.
A.there are too many people who want to make friends
B.those who give others friendship receive friendship from others
C.some people receive friendship but don't give friendship back
D.they don't know friendship is something important
（2）According to the passage, honesty is ________.
A.something impossible
B.more important than anything else
C.as important as money
D.the base of friendship

A.You should tell your friends the truth.
B.A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
C.Discussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem.
D.Sharing your mind with your friends is valuable.
（4）The best title of this passage is ________.
A.Honesty Is the Best Policy

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said you could buy tickets at the theatre box any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and the theatre is not good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes. By the time I saw one come, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line at the box office, and I heard one man say he had been waiting for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
（1）The man learned from _______ that there would be a concert on Friday.
A.the bus stop
B.the theatre box
C.one man in line
D.the newspaper
（2）He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______.
A.once
B.three times
C.twice
D.four times
（3）One day the man took _______ to get to the theatre by bus．
A.forty-five minutes
B.twenty minutes
C.fifteen minutes
D.ten minutes
（4）The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by _______.
A.pleased
B.surprised
C.puzzled
D.sorry
