How wonderful it was!
During cycling across North America, many people 32 why I loved
cycling. I have many chances to think about the 33 . But unluckily, I still do not

A
Mabel LeRuzic, aged 90, lives alone-but not really.
"He's my baby," she holds up a puppy and says. "Huh, Lucky. Say hello!" Lucky
barks happily.
But Lucky is not a real dog. He is, instead, a robot that looks like a dog. He has
eyes that can open and close. He turns to face you when you talk. You can even feel
his heartbeats under his fur (人造毛皮）. LeRuzic knows that Lucky is a robot, but
ever since she got him, he has made her feel less lonely. LeRuzic enjoys watching TV
with him. Every morning, she brushes his fur with a little hairbrush.
LeRuzic is not the only one who lives with a robot. In rapidly aging countries
like Japan and Italy, robots have been introduced to elderly people who live alone.
These robots come in many forms. Some greet you cheerfully and tell you jokes.
Some can play music and have a dance party with you.
Studies have found that they can reduce one's loneliness.Unlike
human caregivers，these robots will never forget a pill. They never get restive even if
you ask repetitive（重复的）questions over and over.
But the rise of robot caregivers has also raised some questions. Many young
people today are already spending too little time with their grandparents. Will the use
of robot caregivers make the situation even worse For the elderly, seeing and
chatting with a grandchild is always the happiest thing, after all.
So just think about it: Will you buy your grandparents a robot What will your
grandparents think of robots

Chinese calligraphy（书法）is an important part of traditional Chinese culture.
There are many famous calligraphers in history such as Wang Xizhi and Yan
Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and
personality(性格). Today, they can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and
many other places.
Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese
culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing
Chinese characters and especially refers to the rules of writing with a brush. When
you practice calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes
（笔画）and the spaces between characters.
"If I once lived in China, I must have become a calligrapher rather than a
painter," the world-famous master of art, Picasso, once said after seeing Zhang Daqian
write down his name with a calligraphy brush.
The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made
from the hair of different animals. But there is a popular calligraphy brush that is
made from foetal hair(胎毛）. No one is really sure where the tradition comes from.
But hundreds of years ago in China, people started to believe this kind of calligraphy
brush was a symbol of good luck.
Practicing calligraphy needs a lot of patience and many people take lessons to
learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to hold a calligraphy brush and how to
write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you're interested in it, you may start
practicing with a professional（专业人员）right away.
46. What can we learn about a calligrapher through his calligraphy works

Carpooling（拼车）can be a great way to save money, especially with rising gas
costs. Besides, it is good for the environment. But people who plan to practice
carpooling together should have a meeting and make several rules before all driving
to work. 51
The group should decide which cars will be used. Some people rent(租）a car
together. 52 If one person provides the car, it is important to pay for wear
and tear(磨损）on the car. If several people plan to each drive their own car on their
driver days, there is no need to consider this. As well, some people like to carpool but
hate driving. 53 This amount should be decided before carpooling begins.
People have different driving habits. All should agree on a few courtesy (礼貌)
rules. Decide whether carpooling groups may eat in the car, smoke, use cellphones or
listen to music. Since musical tastes can be different, those carpooling might make a
headphones only rule, for example. 54 Some people like to chat a lot,
while others might want to catch a bit more sleep. Making rules about conversation
can help avoid future troubles.
55 Some people seem to care less about problems like speeding.
Others feel worried when someone does not follow the rules of the road. The
carpooling team should be clear about what they consider safe driving practices to
avoid problems in the future.

VIII. 阅读表达。根据短文内容，完成下列任务。（共 20 分）
A
Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out
through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s
very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere.
One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short workout videos to do daily exercise.
"With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to
hold on to the last minute," she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that
workout videos let him feel so comfortable." I have a fear of working out at the gym
because I don't like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out
much more enjoyable," he said.
With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder
sister, a P.E.teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might
still carry some problems.
Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing to work out to
your best. “Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get
pushed harder," my sister said to me. "Well, if you really want to have a try, first,
6
{#{QQABKQYUgggoQBBAARgCEQWYCAGQkACCCCoGBBAMoAAAQRNABAA=}#}
choose proper programs or videos. That's very important. And then ask your friends
for advice. Their experiences can give you a good sight into what you can expect.
Anyway, don't be addicted(沉迷的)to it. You should try different ways to work out to
be healthy."
At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with
personalized help that is held for three months. After the first period of training, I felt
it very practical and helpful when I put in the right amount(量)of work along with a
strong pared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a
much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I'm too
lazy or too busy to stick to it.

What is your dream life like in summer It may be eating a watermelon in a
house ①_________ an air conditioner. Watermelons came from Africa. Later, they
came to the west of China along the Silk Road. Watermelons are Chinese people's
favorite. People from other countries want to know why Chinese people like
watermelons more. Here are two reasons.
One is that watermelons have a good taste. And they have lots of vitamins and
minerals，and they are good for people's health. People would think of watermelons
first when they buy fruits in summer. ②_________ is that more than 90% of the
world's watermelons are from China each year. In supermarkets, in Japan and the
Republic of Korea, people are not so lucky. In the Republic of Korea, a watermelon is
about 20,000 KRW (about 100 yuan). And in Japan people think eating a watermelon
can be a show-off(炫耀).
People are careful when they buy watermelons. Many people usually knock at
them and the sound can show which one tastes the best. However, there are many
ways to eat watermelons. For many people, it is cool to enjoy half a watermelon just
with a spoon. There are also some ways we don't often use. For example, in Xinjiang,
7
{#{QQABKQYUgggoQBBAARgCEQWYCAGQkACCCCoGBBAMoAAAQRNABAA=}#}
people eat watermelons around stove，and in Hainan people eat watermelons even
with salt. No matter how we eat watermelons, they make our summer better.
