12．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 -
13．Getting around in Canada is fairly easy.Most cities have urban transportation systems，including buses，streetcars，and trains，and some of the larger cities also have subways.
You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes.Some let you pay with cash；others require tickets.If you don't have a ticket for the bus，you must pay with the right amount of money.This is because the driver does not carry any change.Once you get settled，you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money.You can buy subway tickets at the subway station.
If you have to take several buses or the subway for a single trip，you do not need to pay any money each time.Simply ask the driver for a transfer or pick one up from the machines on the subway platform.
If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar，just ask someone，or follow the crowd.It's usually at the front of the bus，where you show your pass to the driver.When using public transportation，Canadians line up.First come，first served，is a common approach to many activities in Canada.
Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit company in your area，and there may also be a telephone information line.You may want to ask someone for the name of the transit company where you live，and then look it up in your telephone book.

A．The ways to use public transportation in Canada.
B．How to save money when traveling.

14． Knowledge might be power，but it's much more powerful when it's shared!If only one person knows how to do something，that prevents others from developing and can prevent your organization's progress.Plus，what happens if they hoard（儲藏） knowledge and decide to leave your company？When you manage knowledge properly and give people a platform to share and access it，you're opening the door to a whole host of benefits!
It's important to clarify the difference between knowledge and information before diving into the benefits of knowledge sharing.Information is really just the data or details of something，but knowledge taps into the experience and context of somebody who's understood and used that data.Imagine you're making a cocktail and you've got the ingredient list in front of you，you'd be able to attempt some shaking and pouring.But，without a recipe or guidance from somebody who's trialled，errored and perfected，you wouldn't know the order，the timings and the techniques needed.Knowledge sharing makes sure your employees are less shaken and more inspired.
If knowledge isn't shared，people take it with them when they leave— and no company has time to relearn the things they once knew.But if your experts are sharing knowledge with peers，they're gaining relevant，company-specific information—which allows you to build collective intelligence.The act of sharing knowledge alone is great for building relationships.jye.ai people get that warm feeling from either sharing their wisdom or picking up on the wisdom of others.But it's more than that—developing a knowledge-sharing culture allows you to tap into experts!Across the business，people will have built skills and best practices that are specific to your product and customer.When they share those experiences，they allow others to skip the trial period and get right to productivity.
The more you encourage that behavior，the more an organic learning culture builds throughout the team!This means all the benefits we'll dive into are happening day in and day out.
（1）What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to？
A．Knowledge.
B．Power.
C．An organization.
D．A company.
（2）How does the author clarify the difference between knowledge and information？
A．By quoting a remark.
B．By analyzing a result.
C．By offering an example.
D．By referring to previous studies.
（3）What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on？
A．How the trial period can be skipped.
B．Why knowledge sharing is important.
C．What skills should be acquired at work.
D．Who will learn knowledge more quickly.
（4）Who is the text specially targeted at？
A．Officials.
B．Teachers.
C．Parents.
D．Bosses.組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5

18．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Despite their genetic similarities，my twin sisters Lenna and Elsa were quite different.Lenna was a recognized athlete in our community.We all expected her to attain a scholarship on one field or another，but she lacked a certain edge to her reasoning.Elsa got along well with everyone who works in the library，but she had the grace（優(yōu)雅） of a two-legged table.They had found few occasions to relate with one another and grew distant.Had I not lived with them，I would not have known them to be sisters.
They did，however，share a drive for success that seemed to become more successful around the same time during senior year.After a track and field season，Lenna was offered full scholarship at a reputable state university near our home，so long as she maintained a 3.0 GPA.Elsa had a more important thing to do：she was one perfect report card away from seizing the chance of making a speech at a graduation ceremony from her opponent，Chet Good wejye.aiher.At the end of the sixth Wednesday of the fourth marking period，as the sisters unfolded the printed report cards，their smiles turned to tears：Lenna was getting a"D"in science and Elsa was getting a"C"in gym class.
Lenna and Elsa came home at the same time and were surprised to find one another disappointed.As they argued with one another about who had suffered the greater misfortune，they realized that the other's problem sounded easy to solve.Elsa barked，"Your problem isn't even a problem.I could pass that test easily and I can show you how to as well."Lenna retorted（反駁），"Well，all you need to do to get an'A's to shorten your mile time to five or ten minutes.Two weeks of training with me and the coach will try to have you on the track team."The girls exchanged glances and came to a quick agreement.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；

Every morning for the next two weeks，Lenna woke Elsa up at 4：30 to run.
