三、阅读理解。（本题有12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面三篇短文，根据短文内容，从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A
It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize(识别) you or any of their friends — every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain kind of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.
In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.
Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively（挑衅地） in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive (生存)in the wild.
“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
(2019年黄冈中学自主招生试题) ( ) 31.What is the article mainly about?
A. Fish having very bad memories. B. Fish being smarter than we thought. C. How fish improve their memory. D. What we can learn from fish.
( ) 32.According to the article, people used to believe that _______.
A. fish could only remember part of their past experiences B. fish could remember things that happened 12 days ago C. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutes D. fish didn’t recognize any of their friends
( ) 33.How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.
A. where to get food and survive B. their enemies and fight
C. where to escape to when in danger D. their friends and help each other
( ) 34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Fish behave aggressively in a fight. B. Fish can remember more.
C. Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals. D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.
B
People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it's not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is，“You can't.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn't spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited (有限的).
There is an old saying, “If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed. ( ) 35. If you are making a mistake, that means________.
A. you're careful B. you're kind
C. you're growing D. you know nothing
( ) 36. After Edison failed 10,000 times, he________.
A. gave up B. invented the light bulb
C. invented the computer D. invented 10,000 new things
( ) 37. When you make a mistake, you are closer to________.
A. success B. money C. time D. everything
( ) 38. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Never make mistakes.
B. You can make mistakes without thinking. C. Making mistakes is terrible.
D. Sometimes it's good to make mistakes.
C
Matt Mason has seen the future—and it’s fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system（系统）that’s built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum（吸尘器）. Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop（用拖把擦）it up. “This may trouble you,” says Kara, an expert in Mason’s company. “But you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you.”
When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. “More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,” he says. “A new system will be built in the house which can recycle energy（能量）lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.” “The fridge will be the center of the home,” says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen （触摸屏幕）where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. “Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,” says Lee.
Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters（工作台）of the same height. “The height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,” says Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines. “But times have
changed. We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want.” At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT’s Counter lab has made the deskmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics.
( ) 39. How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Five. C. Four. D. Six. ( ) 40. In future, if you want to clean your house, you will _________.
A. have a recycling system built in the wall B. get up early to start your cleaning system C. use your fridge to give orders to a cleaner D. leave the work to a kind of cleaning machine
( ) 41. What is future kitchen work like?
A. Terrific and relaxing. B. Enjoyable and exciting. C. Easy and interesting. D. Funny and amazing.
( ) 42. From the passage, we know _________.
A. people will have more and more time enjoying themselves B. future kitchens can provide all the energy for our life every day C. the fridge can be found in the center of a future house
D. people must be expert at computers to use these inventions

One possible version： Dear Bob,
I’m writing to asking if you are interested in an exhibition of paper cutting to be held by the culture club I have joined. It will take place this Sunday at our school, and some paper cutting artists will attend it, teaching people how to make different kings of Chinese paper cuttings.
Chinese paper cutting is one of the most popular traditional folk arts, with a history of more than 1,500 years. People often decorate doors, windows and rooms with paper cutting in order to have good luck, especially in the Spring Festival and at weddings. There are different styles of paper cutting in different parts of China.
I’m looking forward to your coming.
Yours, Li Hua
