We all have our favourite music, films or books — but which are the most popular ever?
The most popular album (音乐专辑)

Thriller by Michael Jackson

The most popular classical music

Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony
When Beethoven was alive, his Fifth Symphony wasn’t his most popular piece of music. But now most people know the da da da dah introduction. In the 20th century, the first four notes (音符) were used by other musicians to make different types of music like hiphop and rock and roll.

Many people think the best-selling book of all time is one of the Harry Potter books. It’s true that all the Harry Potter books together have sold about 450 million copies. But the most popular single novel is much older.

I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money.
In San Diego recently $325,000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments. The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging (摇动) their tails. Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out?
What about AIBO, a robotic pet, developed in Japan? In Japanese aibou means “buddy”. These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment. They've been used in movies and music videos. Universities have used them for educational purposes. However, in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money. Was it worth a lot of money?
Then there’s NAO a robot which has been developed by a French company. Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans. It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality. It can tell children a story, help in the classroom or the home, or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with. A fully developed one costs $16,000. Is that value for money? Who can afford it anyway?
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven’t thought of any.
27. What does the underlined word “companion” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 公司 B. 机构 C. 对手 D. 伙伴
28. What is the true fact about the robots mentioned?
A. The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research.
B. AIBO wasn’t made any more because it only provided entertainment.
C. A fully developed NAO may tell kids stories in different languages.
D. All the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost.
29. What does the writer think of developing robots?
A. It can help bring people a lot of fun. B. It has advantages in many ways.
C. It may be useful but costs too much. D. It is worth a great deal of money.
D
“This is John,” said Mr Turner. The boy standing next to him was tall, with a friendly face. I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs (大拇指) up. That meant they were going to invite him to join the cool group. They smiled at him and he smiled back.
Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them. I was sure he wouldn’t choose me. I wasn’t one of the cool kids.
“Hyun, I want you to be John’s buddy this term,” said Mr Turner. Me? I couldn’t believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction. Adam and Chen even looked unhappy.
John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me. He smiled at me. “Hello,” he said in a confident voice.
“Hello,” I replied, not looking at him.
All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me, but John didn’t seem to notice.
Finally the bell rang for a break. I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew that Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John, and that John would decide that he’d rather be buddies with them.
Sure enough, as soon as we got outside, Adam and Chen swaggered (大摇大摆地走) up to us.
“Mr Turner says you’re a good basketball player, John,” said Adam.“How’d you like to play with us at lunch break? Hyun doesn’t know anything about basketball."
“No thanks,” said John.“I’d rather play chess with Hyun, if he doesn’t mind. Mr Turner says he’s an excellent player.”
I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground. I remembered the saying we learnt in class about not judging (判断) a book by its cover. I completely misjudged John.
30. The underlined “him” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. Adam B. Mr Turner C. Chen D. John
31. The sentence “I was walking on air…” in the last paragraph shows that the writer felt_______.
A. happy B. nervous C. calm D. lonely
32. What can we learn from the story?
A. Adam and Chen were not only cool but also friendly.
B. Hyun realized appearance didn’t always tell the truth.
C. John didn’t want to make friends with Hyun at first.
D. Hyun was a cool kid and good at playing basketball.

第七部分 阅读表达
请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas.
I remember when I was learning English, I felt uncomfortable about speaking. I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot more confident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience.
Don’t worry about making mistakes. Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won’t notice your mistakes.
Use every chance you get to speak. For example, it’s a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class.
Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation group, such as the chat groups in the study centre. They are free to join.
Practice speaking online. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world.
I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems.
Best wishes,
Eliza
