1． Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together.Like pairs of dogs in most any neighborhood，these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.
One evening，Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home.They went looking for him with no success.Brownie didn't show up the next day，and，despite their efforts to find him，by the next week he was still missing.
For several days，Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone，barking，crying and generally pestering （糾纏） Brownie's family.Busy with their own lives，they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.
Finally，one morning Spotty refused to take "no" for an answer，keeping bothering Ted，Brownie's owner.Spotty followed Ted about，barking insistently，then darting toward a nearby empty lot and back，as if to say， "Follow me!It's urgent!"
Eventually，Ted followed the anxious Spotty across the empty ground as Spotty stopped to run back and bark encouragingly.The little dog led the man under a tree，past clumps of trees，to a desert place a half mile from the house.There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive，lying in the bottom of a deep hole with one of his hind leg injured.Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie's human owner to his trapped friend.In a circle around the injured dog.Ted found plenty of dog food and realized that Spotty had been feeding Brownie that week!

2．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.組卷：6引用：1難度：0.6

3．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
When Donald Crouch first encountered Jim in his English class in rural Michigan，he saw an unhappy boy，who'd gone deep into a cocoon （繭） of silence.
Donald might have assumed that Jim was bored or uninterested or even backward.Certainly，he appeared to be all of those things.
But there was something in the young boy that lit up whenever the subject turned to poetry.It was unnoticeable，but Donald could see a shift in the boy's attitude—a quiet but unmistakable enthusiasm that accompanied any discussion of Chaucer，Shakespeare，or Tennyson.A twinkle in his eyes would appear whenever Donald lectured on matters of English verse，something which proved to be most appealing to the otherwise disappointed teacher.Although Jim was interested in all manners of poetry，he seemed particularly excited when Donald would discuss Walt Whitman，that greatest of American poets.
One day Donald kept Jim after school and learned that Jim stuttered（口吃）.Donald understood that Jim had accepted the written word because the spoken word had escaped him.The next day，Donald told the pupils to write a poem.Jim turned his assignment in，and Donald was surprised by how good it was.
The teacher read the assignment over and over again in disbelief and，truth be told，with a little bit of envy；how could a student from the middle of nowhere come up with something like this？He turned his head once again to the boy and began to have an idea.
注意：（1）續寫詞數應為150 左右；
（2）續寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好。
Donald had noticed earlier that Jim's stutter disappeared whenever he quoted his favorite poets out loud.___________
The whole class turned their attention to Jim.___________組卷：10引用：2難度：0.5
