It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course,” she said.“Can we write him a letter?”She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”My heart jumped. “How? Does the mailman go there?” I asked.“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for. “Just wait, honey. Youll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face. She made a hole in the corner of the letter to tie it to the balloon. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining. “Okay, on the count of three, let it go. One, two, three.” The balloon, carrying my letter, flew upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds. Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, hed keep on, fly up, and finally go beyond this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on. I prayed to be a balloon.4.

A great fatherCLeonardo da Vinci, the greatest thinker in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about his early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vince. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature.However, because he was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the citys very successful artist, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the bodys bones and muscles when drawing people.Leonardo took his teachers advice very seriously. He spent several period of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, he also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective（透视）to show depth. A method called “sfumato” helped to create cloudy effect to suggest distance. “Chiaroscuro” is a method using light and shade as painterly effect.Leonardos first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. He made this painting of a young woman named Ginerva deBenci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verocchios painting Baptism of Christ. One story says that when Verocchio saw Leonardos addition to painting, he was so amazed by his students skill that he said he would never paint again.8The underline word “barred” in the second paragraph probably means _.A protectedBpreventedC sufferedD chose9Which is the correct order of the things that happened to Leonardo?a He finished the painting of Ginerva de Benci.b He moved to Florence.c He finished drawing an angel in his teachers painting.d He began to learn art from Andrea del Verrocchio.e. He began to study the dead body.A. b, d, e, a, cB. b, d, c, a, e C. b, c, e, d, aD. b, d, e, c, a10Which of the following words can be used to describe Leonardo according to the passage?A Confident.BPowerful.CCreative.D Determined.11What can we learn from the last passage?A Verocchio didnt like Verrocchios work.B Verocchio though Leonardos work terrible.C Verocchio didnt believe Leonardo could paint well.D Verocchio thought highly of Leonardos work.DScientists are using robots to study the health of waters in and around Venice, Italy. The robots are designed to act like fish, other underwater creatures and plants. The scientists are working with several universities and research centers as part of a group called subCULTron. The European Union gives money to the project as part of its Horizon xx program whose aim is to take great ideas from the lab to the market and support science and innovation (创新) in Europe. The scientists want to use the artificial intelligence of the robots to help humans understand what is happening under the water of the Venice lagoon (潟湖).SubCULTron, a collective artificial intelligence project, plans to create the biggestshoal (鱼群) of robot fish in the world. The projects aim is to improve knowledge of the seabed and try to turn human abilities into hi-tech items.Alexandre Campo, a puter scientist, says the scientists have looked at the way animals learn to work in groups to understand how robots can learn to work together. The subCULTron project wants its robots to learn to work together so they can watch out for changes and new problems in the water.One problem the researchers had in the beginning was how the robots would municate with each other. Wi-Fi and GPS equipment dont work underwater. Instead, the robots can use sonar (声呐) and an electric field.Another problem was charging batteries. The robots e up to the waters surface and stay near a boat or a power station to charge without any electrical cables. Besides, how to be water- proof, especially for some key pads of the robots, was really tough. Fortunately, a special mixture has been created to be pinned on the robot, which successfully stands the test of water.The health state of the lagoon is pretty good. There are no industrial polluters, and the city now has a modern sewer (污水管) system. Its not like before when all the waste flushed directly into the water. The robots in Venice will continue their work until xx. The subCULTron project hopestheydevelop into “an artificial society underneath the water surface” that serves“a human society above the water”.12. What can we learn about the project in Paragraph 1?A. The European Union has financially supported it.B. It uses robots to clean the waters in and around Venice.C. Its researchers are all from universities.D. It is aimed to support science and innovation worldwide.13. What can we infer according to Alexandre Campo?A. The health state of the lagoon has greatly improved recently.B. Scientists have got an idea for robots from the animals. C. SubCULTron is to turn human abilities into hi-tech items.D. The robots are working separately to perform their tasks.14. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph probably refers to “_.”A. scientistsB. animalsC. humansD. robots15. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?A. Waters in Venice have been greatly cleaned.B. Animals can tell us how to clean the water.C. Robot fish watch out for the waters in Venice.D. Robots are ing into our cities soon.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Be at your best!What does your brain need to work well?
