A

I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but just before I, the youngest of four children, turned sixteen, my belief was painfully tested. My father, who used to share in the chores around the house, gradually started becoming downhearted. From the time he came home from his job to the time he went to bed, he hardly spoke a word to my mom or us kids. The strain on my mom and dad's relationship was very evident. However, I was not prepared for the day that Mom told us that Dad had decided to leave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a

divorced family. It was something I never thought possible, and it grieved me greatly. I kept telling myself that it wasn't going to happen, and I went totally numb when I knew my dad was really leaving. The night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time. I prayed and I cried and I wrote a long letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and how much I would miss him. I told him that I was praying for him and wanted him to know that, no matter what, Jesus and I loved him. I told him that I would always and forever be his Krissie ... his Noodles. As I folded my note, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard：“Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.”

Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I sneaked out to the car and slipped my letter into one of his bags.

Two weeks went by with hardly a word from my father. Then, one afternoon, I came home from school to find my mom sitting at the dining room table waiting to talk to me. I could see in her eyes that she had been crying. She told me that Dad had been there and that they had talked for a long time. They decided that there were things that both of them could and would change and that their marriage was worth saving. Mom then turned her focus to my eyes.

“Krissie, Dad told me that you wrote him a letter. Can I ask what you wrote to him？” I found it hard to share with my mom what I had written from my heart to my dad. I mumbled a few words and shrugged.

A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter, my dad and I. I guess I always figured that it was something that was a secret between us.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是在父亲要和母亲离婚时，作者给父亲写了一封信，这封信挽救了父母的婚姻。

1．What happened to the author's parents when she was sixteen? A．They left her alone. B．They were getting divorced. C．They shared in the chores together. D．They had a good marriage.

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but just before I ... tested”和“The strain on my mom and dad's relationship was very evident. However, I was not prepared for the day that Mom told us that Dad had decided to leave ... of a divorced family”可知，作者16岁时父母之间的关系很紧张，父亲要和母亲离婚，决定离开他们。

2．What is the meaning of the underlined word “grieved” in Para. 1? A．Made sb. angry.

B．Made sb. delighted.

C．Made sb. sad. D．Made sb. greedy.

B．The author's father wrote back to her when he finished reading the letter. C．The author's letter made a difference to her father. D．The author shared what she wrote with her mother.

4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．A Promise Kept C．A Broken Family

B．A Letter of Apology D．A Great Daddy

解析：选A 标题归纳题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段的“it was something that was a secret between us”可推知，作者和父亲在那封信中可能作了约定，因此选A。

B

What's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality. On March 8, the three-foot tall robot made its first delivery to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.

The autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino's

Pizza Australia and Marathon Robotics. The machine can cover a distance of up to 12 miles and back before requiring a battery recharge. Equipped with Google Maps and GPS guidance, DRU can go along bike paths and sidewalks and also find the most efficient way to its destination. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors ensure its path to its destination is safe. DRU's plastic shell protects the food from the bad weather, while its aluminum and steel container ensures that the pies remain hot.

The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders. To access their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.

Domino's expects additional DRUs to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months. But don't expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Domino's, the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years. There is also the issue of regulations. The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries. But Don Meij, the CEO of Domino's Pizza, is not worried. He believes that one day DRU will become a necessary part of the Domino's family.

语篇解读：文章介绍了一款名为DRU的机器人系统的工作原理以及它的功能：为人们派送比萨。

5．What's the function of LIDAR? A．Keeping DRU free of obstacles. B．Recharging DRU's battery. C．Helping DRU find its destination. D．Protecting DRU from bad weather.

解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“LIDAR ... enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles”可知，LIDAR这种基于激光传感器的技术能让机器人侦测和躲避障碍物。故选A项。

6．What does the underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Heat. C．Sell.

B．Hold. D．Show.

解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句话可知，该机器人最多能装十个比萨。根据画线词前“and even has a separate cold area”可知，该机器人还有冷藏区域，因此可以推断冷藏区可以容纳饮品。故选B项。

7．Why does the company provide codes for its customers? A．To fit up more pizzas.

B．To prevent the pizza being taken by mistake. C．To keep the pizza warm. D．To get the pizza paid in time.

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.”可知，公司让顾客输入密码不仅能保证他们拿对自己的比萨，而且还能防止比萨被偷走。故选B项。

8．What can we infer about the future of DRU? A．It may need some improvements.

B．It will replace humans soon. C．It may be banned in Australia. D．It will soon be applied worldwide.

解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the DRU still needs extensive testing”该机器人仍然需要大量的测试可推知，该机器人需要改进，故选A项。

语篇解读：本文属于说明文。京剧名家袁慧琴在瑞典的斯德哥尔摩和俄罗斯的圣彼得堡主持了两场京剧文化交流活动。

1．which/that 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，先行词是talks，空处在从句中作主语，故用which或that。

2．were organized 考查时态和语态。此处讲述的是过去的动作，应用一般过去时；主语是The two sessions，与organize之间是被动关系，故应用被动语态。

3．Members 考查名词的单复数。根据本句中的of Chinese embassies可知，应用member的复数形式。

4．showing 考查非谓语动词。空处是非谓语动词作后置定语，show与those之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词。
