11．Modern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2 D2 or the robot from Lost in Space，but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.
Robots make great explorers on planets，the moon，and other landing areas.Aside from the earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity.Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
Robots are designed for collecting scientific data.Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.
The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.
Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.
（1）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A．The Development of Robots
B．The Discovery of Space Exploration
C．No Robots，No Space Exploration
D．Robots Are Used in Space Exploration
（2）According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？
A．The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
B．It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.
C．Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.
D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
（3）The underlined word "withstand" most probably means "".
A．remain
B．bear
C．defeat
D．develop
（4）What is the writer's attitude in this passage？
A．Negative.
B．Persuasive.
C．Subjective.
D．Objective.组卷：6引用：1难度：0.6 -
12．Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers （零售商） are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting shoppers who care about our planet.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it，and if so，how much more？Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated this question and concluded that it‟s not as sustainable （可持续的） as it seems.
Take shipping，for example，which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning.Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing （生产）.
She writes， "An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way，and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping.By comparison，the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms，according to a 2015 study by Levi‟s."
Then there‟s the burden of washing，which has to happen for every item when it‟s returned，even though it was not worn.For most rental services，this usually means dry-cleaning，a high-impact and polluting process.All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene （氯乙烯），a carcinogenic （致癌的） air pollutant，still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners，with alternatives，although these aren't great either.
Lastly，Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion，simply because it‟s so easily accessible.There‟s something called "share-washing" that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly.Uber is one example of this，advertised as "a way to share rides and limit car ownership，" and yet "it has been proven to discourage walking，bicycling，and public transportation use."
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears，but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied.There‟s an even better step — that‟s wearing what is already in the closet.
（1）What can we learn from Elizabeth Cline‟s investigation？
A．Rental services are the main cause of share-washing.
B．Rental fashion is not so environmentally-friendly as it seems.
C．Pollution caused by dry-cleaning can be avoided if handled properly.
D．Items bought from stores give out more carbon than rental ones.
（2）With the figures in Paragraph 4，Cline intends to show that.
A．clothing rental has become the new fashion
B．renting fashion actually sends out more carbon
C．producing the clothes has the largest carbon footprint
D．ordering a rented item online is the best for our environment
（3）What does the example of Uber in Paragraph 6 imply？
A．Rental services are on the rise.
B．Clothing rental will be as successful as Uber.
C．Renting clothes might waste more than expected.
D．Renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion.
（4）The author suggests that we should.
A．not rent any clothing
B．purchase inexpensive clothes
C．rent clothes rather than buy them
D．make full use of clothes we‟ve had组卷：2引用：1难度：0.5 -
13．Did your mother ever say you'll feel better after a good cry？It turns out Mom is right as usual-crying really is healthy.What's more，letting yourself feel blue and accepting those feelings will help you feel better in the long run，according to a new research.
In three separate studies both online and in a lab，researchers at UC Berkeley evaluated the responses from 1，300 adults regarding their psychological（心理的）health and emotional well-being（幸福感）.In one study，1，000 participants filled out a survey evaluating how they felt about the statement，"I tell myself I shouldn't be feeling the way that I'm feeling."Those who agreed with the statement scored lower on tests of well-being..In other words，letting yourself feel bad is better for your mind and mood than trying to control negative thoughts.
"We found that people who habitually accept their negative emotions experience fewer negative emotions，which adds to better psychological health，"said study senior author Iris Mauss，PhD，an associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley in an article on the university's website.
In a society where the importance to be happy is emphasized daily on the other social media platforms，letting yourself be down in the dumps can be tough.Just remember that true happiness isn't always what people say it is.
"It turns out that how we approach our own negative emotional reactions is really important for our well-being，"said study lead author Brett Ford，PhD，an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto."People who accept these emotions without judging or trying to change them are able to deal with their stress more successfully."
So next time someone tells you to"turn that frown upside down"，ignore them.Embrace your inner feelings for a while.
（1）How did the researchers carry out one of the studies？
A．They gave the participants different tests.
B．They compared their own thoughts with others.
C．They studied the participants' everyday experiences.
D．They compared the participants' thoughts and their feelings.
（2）What does the underlined part "be down in the dumps"in Paragraph 4 mean？
A．Be lonely.
B．Be depressed.
C．Be positive.
D．Be comfortable.
（3）What did Brett Ford try to show in Paragraph 5？
A．It is better for people to accept negative emotions.
B．We should never try to change others' thoughts.
C．People who accept themselves are happier.
D．Positive people tend to be less stressed.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．Turn your frown upside down
B．Crying is good for our health
C．Stop having bad feelings.
D．Stop feeling the way that you're feeling组卷：8引用：6难度：0.5 -

18．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I live in a small but lovely neighborhood.Our house is neither large nor luxurious，but it has a fairly big garden.My father loves his garden.He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants，watering them，applying fertilizer，weeding and getting rid of bugs.He was never tired of doing all that stuff.But at that time，I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately，in the summer vacation before senior high school，my father was seriously injured in an accident.He had to stay in bed for a while.My mother had several business trips，so she couldn't take care of the garden.I didn't want my father to worry.I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water，and luckily it rained fairly often，so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning，my father said to me， "Christine，the vegetables should be about ready to be picked.Let's have a salad today!" I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce （生菜） leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs.There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables.When I was making the salad，my mother came home and saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen.I was embarrassed and admitted， "Dad would like a salad，but the garden is a disaster.I don't want to disappoint him，so I went to the store and bought some vegetables." My mother smiled，saying， "Honey，you know what is the right thing to do."
My father seemed very pleased when I took the salad to him.______
Feeling guilty，I decided to do the right thing.______组卷：55引用：7难度：0.5
