know where to look.Enchanted Learning Enchanted learning is a great website for children,and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for their classrooms.Most of the information is free,but for$20.00 per year,you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising.The pages here are great.There are color1 ed pages and worksheets for toddlers(学步儿童)and school-age children.Starfall Starfall is another good educational website for small children.Teachers often use this website in classrooms.It emphasizes reading skills for early learners.The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners,but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade.The website has reading activities,worksheets to download,and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.Sesame Street Workshop Kids loveSesame Street,and it is always educational.This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects.The website has games and stories for small kids,and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.1.Why does Enchanted Learning offer purchasing memberships?A.Charging for the information.B.Charging for downloading materials.C.Giving access to the site without the ads.D.Providing unlimited search for more pages.2.Where can you buy educational materials for your children?A.Enchanted Learning B.Starfall C.Sesame Street Workshop D.Colored pages 3.What is the purpose of this text?A.To introduce.B.To discuss.C.To persuade.D.To educate.B Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They dont listen because they already know it all,I was lucky:I became a pilot in 1970,almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didnt realize then,but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As 1 flew bigger,faster planes,and in worse weather,I learned about crew resource management(机组资源管理),or CRM,a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result,regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that,an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying;I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn,he had forgotten to put the landing gear(起落架)down.He was a better pilotand my bossso it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to:Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness sand said,we need to put the landing gear down now!That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM,and Ive used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite,the doctor doesnt overreact,which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when Im in the operating room,I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes theyre not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them,someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.4.What does the author say about doctors in general?A.They like flying by themselves.B.They are quick learners of CRM.C.They pretend to be good pilots.D.They are unwilling to take advice.5.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when .A.his boss landed the plane too late B.he was in charge of a flying task C.he saved the plane by speaking up D.his boss operated on a patient 6.In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means .A.following flying requirements B.making a mistake that may cost lives C.listening to what fellow doctors say D.overreacting to different opinions 7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe B.A Pilot-Turned Doctor C.The Making of a Good Pilot D.Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor C I am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats,one of the many clubs offered at my school.My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams.We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots.Typically,adultsoverseewhat students are building,but my school lets teens take control.It leaves room for more errors,but were prouder of our final product.Before our first real match,a practice was offered at the actual site.My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind.When we arrived on that big day,I immediately felt my teammates nervousness.Our first match was in three minutes.All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all.Our robot was still sitting in a box.Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy(策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now,while it was early in the season.She gave me the remote.I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous.Our autonomous code(自动代码)beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion.Despite all the drama,we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match!I was so proud.I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester,which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools.I am a part of the electrical team now,so I make sure the motherboard(母板)can supply the robots energy needs.We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it never dull!8.What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Inspect B.Admire C.Overlook D.Assume 9.Why did her

powerful.D.It was boring but professional 11.What is the best title for the text?A.A Girl Who Loves Robots B.My First Robotics Match C.Teamwork for Robots D.Robotics Is Never Dull D Thefirst thing we notice about new people are their faces.The next time we see these people,we remember them because we remember their faces.This seems like a simple process.However,scientists found that it is not such a simple process.The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people.Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces,while others almost never forget a face.Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces.In fact,their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents.Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months.But by nine months,they lose this skill.By nine months,a babys face-recognition skills are about the same as an adults.Unfortunately,some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces.The part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition doesnt work for them.This condition is called face blindness.People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces.In fact,people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror.They dont recognize their own face,so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.Face blindness is not always severe.Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by face blindness to some degree,yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it.They have no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out.This is similar to people with color1 blindness.Colorblind people cant see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green,until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.There is no cure for face blindness.So for the time being,people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem.They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle,their voice,or their glasses.Hopefully,in the future as scientists learn more about this condition,they may find a cure.12.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The way to improve ones face-recognition skills.B.The simple process of the brain to recognize others faces.C.The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.D.The importance of face recognition in human communication.13.When do children have the best face-recognition skills?A.At birth.B.Half a year old.C.Nine months old.D.In adolescence.14.What does the underlined word“startled”in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A.Depressed.B.Confused.C.Embarrassed.D.Surprised.15.What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?A.People need to take it seriously.B.Certain techniques can make up for it.C.It will be cured in the near future.D.It has the same effect with color1 blindness.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Concentration and memory are the two key focus
