陕西英语九年级上册期中专练-阅读还原（含解析）
Robots are helpful in many ways. They can help us wash dishes, cook, and clean rooms. Some of them can even help look after old people. Now they’re turning their attention to fighting climate change by helping to plant trees.
Milrem Robotics, an Estonian company, together with some scientists, has developed two robots that can plant young trees. The two robots are the size of a small car. They can work as a team—one prepares the planting area, the other plants trees.
Both robots are driverless. They sense the environment around them and operate（操作）on their own. They can travel at speeds of up to 20 km/h. In five or six hours, the pair can put down as many as 380 young trees covering ten thousand square meters. It means the two robots can plant thousands of trees a day! While working, they can also record the location of each new tree.
The world loses about 100 thousand square kilometers of trees every year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization（联合国粮食及农业组织）. Scientists say that we need to plant a trillion（万亿）trees to solve the problem of forest cover loss and help slow down climate change. Besides, it’s more important to plant the right trees in the right place to get a satisfying result.
It is great news that two tree-loving robots can help solve the big world problem.

I have an 11-year-old son named Peter. I knew that playing sports would be good to our son. He would get some exercise, learn about teamwork and learn some physical skills. We continually encouraged him to have a try, but after a while it was clear that he didn’t like team sports, and there was nothing we could do to change it.
We decided not to push him to take part in sports, even though most of his friends did sports. As time went by, we gradually realized that we had made the right decision. Don’t misunderstand (误解) me. I have nothing against sports. Now my son isn’t interested in sports, but I’m not pushing him to do sports. Here are the reasons:
I want him to know I accept him unconditionally. I don’t even want Peter to feel that I will love him only if he behaves in a certain way or takes part in some activities. Whether he succeeds or fails, he will always be my son, and that will never change.
I want him to form his own path (道路) in life. His path doesn’t have to be the same as mine. In fact, we both have similar interests in several areas like music, computers and Star Wars, but we’re also different in many ways. Peter needs to be free to go his own path.
I want him to know that I don’t judge (判断) my worth by his achievements. Every father will feel proud of his son if he can make great achievements. So most parents always push them so hard. Sometimes we have seen ourselves indirectly through our own sons. Their achievements remind us of our wonderful days in the past. We must make sure we don’t want to make up for (弥补) our own regrets by pushing our sons to climb higher and go further than we did.
6．The advantages of doing sports don’t include ________.
A．getting some exercise B．getting some exam skills
C．learning about teamwork D．learning some physical skills

B．He should do the same thing as his friends.
C．We didn’t push him to do sports he disliked.
D．We would push him to find what he was good at.
8．What does the underlined word “unconditionally” mean
A．慎重地 B．无条件地 C．不耐烦地 D．犹豫地
9．How many reasons does the father give for not pushing his son to take part in sports
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
10．Which sentence can best describe the father in this passage

B．He doesn’t care about his son’s future.
C．He is brave and knows when to give up.

Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.
With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:
Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.
Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.
Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.
Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.
With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.
Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.
Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.
11．Solar roads ________.
A．offer power to homes B．get energy from factories

A Farewell SongWang Wei ①No dust is raised on the road wet with morning ▲ ②The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green. ③I invite you to drink a cup of wine again. ④West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen. (Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
With the temperature rising, spring is a good time to go out and travel far away. Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei bid farewell to his friend in this season. The poem A Farewell Song describes his experience.
On a spring morning, Wang has to say goodbye to his friend—Yuan Er who would leave for a faraway place called Anxi, in today’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Wang hopes that his friend Yuan will safely return from Anxi, although he knows that they might not see each other again. Even with this knowledge, the poet is not willing to show much sorrow or sadness for Yuan’s departure(离开). Instead, he wants to take the time to treasure their friendship and invites Yuan to drink a cup of wine. In the poem, Wang uses the skill of exchanging roles. On the surface, the poet says goodbye to his friend. But the fact is that the two likely have no chance to see each other again. So it is that Yuan says goodbye to the poet as well.
Wang Wei is considered one of the greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty, along with Du Fu and Li Bai. Of the three, Wang Wei was the only one who had a successful career in the bureaucracy(官场). When he was free, he spent much time in the countryside thinking about nature. Wang is best known for describing quiet scenes of water and mist, with few details and little human presence. He has been praised for “putting painting into his poetry and poetry into his painting.”

Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclear that you’re not even sure it’s a face Or a picture by unknown artists What if the artist was a computer
A piece of artwork created mainly by a computer program has been sold a the price $432,500—about ten times more than people expected. This painting named Edmond de Belamy, was created by artificial intelligence(AI). This means the computer now doesn’t just follow us, but makes some decisions and “thinks itself”.
15,000 real paintings were used by some French students to train the computer program with two parts. One part tries to create paintings that look real, while the other part decides if it is good. If the painting doesn’t look real enough, the first part will change its decisions until it comes up with a better work.
This is not the first AI artwork just the first piece on sale. In fact, many people are not impressed with the painting. “The work isn’t interesting or creative,” says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesn’t like the idea of selling it. He thinks it’s too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He adds that he created many pictures like it much earlier.
In some other people’s opinion, however, AI art is already very unusual. They hope it will be more common in the future.
Still, people who look down upon AI art shouldn’t worry. Just as an AI artist, Theo Triantafyllidis says, he usually thinks of AI as a tool and not the artist. Even the best AI today is somewhere between a stupid child and a smart pet. It will grow up.
36．Which of the following is TRUE about the painting Edmond de Belamy
A．It was the first AI artwork. B．It impressed many people.
C．It was created by a man called Edmond. D．People didn’t think it worth of $432,500.
37．Edmond de Belamy was mainly created by ________.
A．A computer programme. B．Some French students. C．Several unknown artists. D．A man called Edmond.
38．What does Robbie Barrat think of Edmond de Belamy
A．It’s creative and interesting. B．It’s simple.
C．It’s valuable. D．It’s fresh and unusual.
39．Why does the writer mention Robbie Barrat in Paragraph 4
A．To show many people think the painting attractive.
B．To show lots of people took part in creating the painting.
C．To show some people didn’t expect the painting to be sold.
D．To show most people hope AI art will be common in the future.
40．Which can be the best title for the passage
A．AI Technology B．The Present and Future of AI Art
C．The First Computer-created Artwork on Sale D．The First painting Created of AI in the World
Mike will never forget his trip to Bulgaria. He found everything interesting, like the restaurant he went to one day.
