Have you noticed some dogs putting their heads out of cars? It is really a bad habit. It is said
that dogs like to do so because they are curious about what they see. Many dogs are not tall enough to
have a clear 46 of the outside world from the front seat, and most dogs are too short to see
clearly form the back seat. Trying to put their heads out of the window is a good way to
47 out their surroundings and enjoy a nice, cool breeze at the same time.
It’s actually not a good idea for dogs to do so. If your dog becomes overexcited and falls or
jumps from your 48 car, it could injure itself. Some dust in the wind can make some dogs
sick. High-speed wind can 49 a dog’s ear. Plus, dogs can be easily injured by flying small
stones or other things. So, be careful when you take a dog with you in a car.

Australia is home to crocodiles. Thanks to world-first
drones (无人机), people are safer from crocodile attack.The high-tech drones were 50 near Queensland, along creeks, riverbeds, and
beaches. They are trying to find out animals as they went.
There were five attacks in Queensland’s touristic north between 2017 and 2018, 51
two deadly attacks, and unusual sightings more than 40 kilometers inland.
The technology solution came from using newly developed shark-spotting drones to find out
another kind of animals. As the pilot 52 the drone, the video is monitored and a warning
message is sent back to the pilot when it picks up on something dangerous below.
Designers say the finding is 93 percent 53 , while human’s eye is around 16 to 19
percent correct.
“A lot of time above crocodiles, a lot of images fed into the program as it’s a learning
program, which means it then gets better at spotting” the designer said.

Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读写)
VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案） （12分）Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys. My husband Johnny and I left them with a
friend while we made a trip to the cinema.
It was dark and was raining hard. With the headlights shining on the road, we saw something
ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I came out, ran to the grass and grabbed a small, wet,
frightened creature. It was freezing cold and so tiny that it fit into the palm of my hand but I still
wasn’t sure what it was. It stayed close to me for warmth and comfort. I wrapped it safely in my
woolen hat and suggested that my husband turn back and go home. We thought it was a baby rabbit
because it had long ears, long hind legs and was greyish brown in color. Once home, we filled a box
with old newspaper and a warm towel. We fed it milk and bread and hoped it would survive. We
named our new animal Bobsy. We all loved it at first sight.
Our boys were happy with the little animal and it seemed to enjoy all the attention. Sadly
though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realized it was
broken. We rushed to the vet, who said, “It’s only a rabbit, I’ll put it to sleep.” Our response was a
very decisive, “No way!”
We found another vet and were told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue
to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would be fine.
After her recovery, Bobsy learned to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with
her front paws. Her favourite treats were chocolate drops and she was so smart that she would help
herself to them straight from the packet. The local paper heard about this and came to our house
to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved
to New Zealand and we will never forget her.
（ ）69. Johnny and his wife saw a little animal ________.
A. on the way to the cinema B. on the way back from the cinema
C. in their house garden D. in their friend’s home
（ ）70. When the little animal was found, it was everything EXCEPT ________.
A. cold B. warm C. frightened D. wet
（ ）71. On the third day with us, the little animal got hurt because of ________.
A. the attention B. Jonny C. the door D. Bobsy
（ ）72. The underlined sentence “No way!” means “________!”
A. We don’t allow you to do so
B. We have no choice but to agree with you
C. There is no chance for it to become better
D. There is no way for it to go back home
（ ）73. The underlined word “this” refers to the fact that________.
A. the little animal loved chocolate drops best
B. the little animal didn’t get herself hurt any more
C. the little animal got better after staying in a box for a week

Could you imagine a library where you borrow tools, appliances and sports gear (用具)? As
a student, Sabrina could see the simple solution to a problem— in order to reduce waste and create
a good effect on our environment, perhaps we should try sharing the things we have.
When she arrived in Brisbane four years ago, Sabrina had nothing with her but a suitcase full
of clothes and a laptop. To start settling in, she asked friends if she could borrow the things she
needed. Over time, as she started to have things of her own, she would 75 them to her
friends in return.
She then came to the conclusion that we don’t need to own every single tool for every single
76 , we just need to have them; we need a place where we can borrow what we need—in other
words, a library. Sabrina decided to put her idea into action and so the Brisbane Tool Library was
born.
Within two years the tool library has grown to over 225 members and today is run by a team
of volunteers, mostly women, from 13 different nationalities. For a small membership fee, the library
offers 77 from hand and power tools to sporting and camping gear, and kitchen equipment.
The library now has over 500 items in its storeroom with another 500 waiting to come. These
are items that would otherwise have gone into landfill when their owners are 78 them sitting
on the shelf—most are still new. “It doesn’t need to be like this,” says Sabrina. “It’s not just about
reducing waste when things are at the 79 of their life cycle. And recycling is not enough. We
need to rethink purchasing from the very beginning. We need some change.”
It’s all part of the rise of the share economy, where phone apps allow 80 to share
rarely-used goods with people who need them. Libraries have been around for centuries offering
public use of shared resources.
（ ）75. A. lend B. report C. read D. sell
（ ）76. A. excuse B. success C. purpose D. secret
（ ）77. A. something B. everything C. anything D. nothing
（ ）78. A. fond of B. tired of C. surprised at D. afraid of
（ ）79. A. start B. top C. rest D. end
（ ）80. A. learners B. officers C. users D. designers
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，
使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）
If you have ever had trouble doing things you should do or would like to do, you have
experienced procrastination (拖延症). When you procrastinate, instead of working on important
meaningful tasks, you find yourself performing meaningless activities.
If you are a procrastinator, perhaps you spend lots of time watching TV, playing video games,
checking Facebook, eating, cleaning or walking back and forth through the room. Afterwards, you
feel powerless and have the f 81 of guilt and trouble. Once again, you end up doing nothing.
Sound familiar?
L 82 people don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, however, want to
actually do something but can’t force themselves to s 83 .
Another fact about procrastination is that it is d 84 from relaxation. Relaxing recharges
you with energy. But procrastination makes you not energetic. The less energy you have, the greater
the chances of you putting off your responsibilities, and, once more, you will achieve nothing.
My dad always used to say, “Peter, you need to learn how to give yourself orders.” I wouldalways answer, “ I tell myself what to do, I just don’t listen.”
Most likely, failure of the ability to listen to o 85 is the main reason. The scientific name of this
ability is self-regulation.
Self-regulation is the ability to actively control your emotions. The more developed this ability
is, the more often you will do what you tell yourself to do. Good news is it is possible to have self-
regulation by t 86 . You need to begin by setting the bar as low as possible. Creating habits
isn’t about quantity; it’s about small steps and regular repetition.
Once you learn a new habit, you can exercise your willpower muscle (肌肉). As you
s 87 raise the bar, your willpower will gain strength day by day.
Gradual changes are more pleasant than sudden, great changes. Therefore bigger success can
be made.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
Electives (选修课) are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn
something exciting, and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics. Here
are just a few of the exciting electives lucky teenagers can take in some of China’s middle schools.
Self-defense skills
A school from Chongqing
The school offers a self-defense course——just for girls. Those who attend the lessons have
the chance to study basic self-protection skills in a one-on-one practice. They learn how to get away
when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. “I feel safer in myself now,” said Zhang
Yi, 15, a girl student.
Pottery
A school from Tianjin
The famous pottery scene in a movie called Ghost is a lasting memory for many movie-goers.
Young artists at the school love to get their hands dirty creating beautiful pieces. Students learn how
to design and make various clay projects. At the end, they have the skills to make their own clay
bowls, cups, vases and pots.
Horse riding
A school from Beijing
Equestrians (马术) can look pretty cool, can’t they? Teenagers at this school can now choose a
course in riding skills. They’re taught to communicate with their horses and how to use reins. To
ride a horse in the proper way, a student must hold the head forward and keep his back straight.
Students come away from this elective not only knowing how to ride a horse gracefully, but also
physically fitter!
Couplets
A school from Nanjing
How many of you can write a couplet? This old literary (文学的) form is slowly disappearing,
but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive. For their elective, teenagers study
old couplets and try to rhyme (押韵) their own lines. Many of this year’s students can’t wait for
the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show off their new skills.
