活页作业(四)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
WASHINGTON—It’s a great achievement that inspires notions(观念)of robots with consciousness and independent minds.
When people or animals get hurt，they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along，but for robots，even slight damage can make them stumble and fall.However，a recently-made robot has demonstrated a novel ability：it can heal its own damage.
The new robot，which looks like a splay-legged.four-footed starfish，can sense injury to itself and adapt.That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines.Because the robot can recover from unfamiliar places.“There is a need for planetary robotic rovers(漫游者)to be able to fix things on their own，”says Josh Bongard，a professor in the University of Vermont，who is one of th e device’s creators.“Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to earth.”
A typical robot functions according to a computer program，but the new robot works differently.First，sensors in its four legs observe the robot’s movements and signals to its built-in computer.From the information it collects，the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations.For example，when the research ers shortened one of the robot’s legs，the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking—it used three legs instead of four.
The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work.One pellicle spot is the ocean floor.That dark and dangerous undersea place might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish.“We never officially named the robot，but we usually refer to it as the Starfish，even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs，”says Bongard.“Also，a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury，because it can actually grow its legs again.”Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways：by exploring space，fighting fires，and even performing surgery.
语篇解读：文章向我们介绍了一种新型的机器人，它能在身体受损的情况下进行自我调节、自我修复。
1．The newly-designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it __________.
A．can communicate with people on the earth about their problems
B．works according to a certain computer program
C．can find its problems and solve them automatically
D．can explore unfamiliar places
解析：细节理解题。由第三段的“...can sense injury to itself and adapt”可知，这台机器人
能够自己发现问题，并进行自动修复。
答案：C
2．The underlined word“resilient”in the last paragraph means the robot is ________.
A．creative B．newly-made
C．able to recover D．informative
解析：词义猜测题。下文把这种类型的机器人比作starfish，并把它的性能和真正的starfish进行了比较：“a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury...”由此可以得出答案。
答案：C
3．Which of the following is TRUE about the robot“Starfish”？
A．It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability.
B．It will stumble and fall if damaged.
C．It can grow its legs again once they are broken.
D．It has started to work on the ocean floor.
解析：细节理解题。用排除法。最后一段告诉我们，机器人不能和真的海星(starfish)一样长出新腿，故排除C；由最后一段前三句话可知：科学家正在寻找地方来试验这种机器人，也就是说还没有在海底使用，所以D项错误；由倒数第二段的最后一句话可以看出，这种机器人具有自我修复功能，即使是在一条腿受损的情况下，用三条腿也能走路，故B项错误。
答案：A
4．What might be the best title for the passage?
A．How does the Starfish robot work?
B．Do-It-Yourself robots repair
C．Robots designed to work on other planets
D．New robots helping us in many ways
解析：标题归纳题。文章向我们介绍了最近研发出来的一款智能机器人，其独特之处在于能够在部件损坏的情况下进行自我诊断、自我修复。由此可以看出B项最能概括全文。
答案：B

语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家人在澳大利亚的昆士兰度完假期后，在回家的路上一个轮胎瘪了，换轮胎时发现另一个轮胎爆了，经过的附近养猪场的主人给予了作者一家人帮助，作者一家非常感激。
1．A．planned B．refused
C．managed D．hesitated
解析：文章的第一句话就提到作者和丈夫还有三个孩子在澳大利亚的昆士兰度完假期后直奔Narrandera过夜，这个地方应该是他们计划好的。plan“计划”；refuse“拒绝”；manage“经营；管理”；hesitate“犹豫不决”。
答案：A
2．A．promised B．admitted
C．remembered D．realized
解析：句意：车很难控制，我们意识到轮胎瘪了。promise“许诺”；admit“承认”；remember“记起”；realize“意识到”。

解析：由于两个轮胎都坏了，他们的车就不能开了。他们一家人讨论是睡在车里还是到最近的农场求助，因为车子坏了，只好是步行去求助。walk“步行”符合语境。

9．A．helped B．remained
C．appeared D．waited
解析：从本句的“car headlights”和“in the distance”可知是车灯出现在远处。appear“出现”符合语境。
答案：C

C．while D．unless
解析：句意：丈夫走到路中间打信号让车停下来，作者和孩子们坐在车里打开车内的灯。这两个动作是同时发生的。while“当……时候”，主句的动作和从句的动作同时发生。
答案：C
11．A．hear B．see
C．smell D．prove

答案：C
14．A．got away from B．arrived at
C．lived up to D．looked for
解析：句意：我们都挤进他们的车，一会就到达了他们的农场。get away from“摆脱，逃离”；arrive at“到达”；live up to“不辜负”；look for“寻找”。
答案：B
15．A．day B．holiday
C．night D．weekend
解析：前面提到车坏的时候就已经天黑了，所以作者一家人是在这家人的客厅里度过了一晚上。

C．fearlessly D．carelessly
解析：骑猪是很危险的，看到他们的女儿能骑上其中的一头大猪，应该是勇敢的。uselessly“没用地”；endlessly“无穷尽地”；fearlessly“勇敢地，大胆地”；carelessly“粗心地”。

语篇解读：一些学生在上大学之前就开始了一系列的准备工作：上一些专门开设的课程、通过考试来测试自己的准备情况或者参加大学的面试。被录取后，他们可以尽快地了解学校的相关信息，尽早适应大学生活。
1．解析：from考查介词。graduate from...为固定搭配，表示“毕业于……”。

人教版新课标高中英语选修7课文原文 Unit 1 Living well-Reading MARTY’S STORY Hi, my name is Marry Fielding and I guess you could say that I am "one in a million". In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can't run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don't know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live One day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up. Last year invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while. In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more independent. I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live as

1.Unit1 MARTYS STORY Hi, my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say that I am "one in a million".In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can't run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don't know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. , Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while. In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more
