Nearly every robot has been made in some way 1 up to a certain level or temperature. The machine will wait for “feedback” about the water2 or temperature before it begins the washing cycle. In this way, a washing machine has been patterned after humans. We depend on3 from our five senses to find out what is happening around us and then make decisions about our actions.Of course, some machines perform functions like humans, but much 4 than we do, such as calculators. A pocket calculator works faster than a human, never makes mistakes, and doesn’t get 5 or bored.Other robots are very similar to humans in their ability 6 new things. In factories, robots can learn to do many different tasks, as they are shown by a human operator. For example, in a car factory, a person will guide a robot’s “arm” and “7 ” through the steps of the new job. The robot’s electronic “brain” will8 the information away, memorizing the steps so the next time it 9 can repeat the movements without a human operator. When the robot must be moved to a new job, its memory is 10 so it is ready to learn the next job. Of course, at any time if there is anything 11in the process, different from the original task, the robot cannot 12 with it. It will signal for an engineer to come for repairs.Some robots are considered very intelligent because they have more human abilities than others, such as “seeing” 13 cameras for eyes or “feeling” with metal fingers that can14 shapes and even temperatures. However, no machine has 15 been able to copy the complexity of the simplest, most common person.1. A. similar B. familiar C. sensitive D. different2. A. depth B. level C. fullness D. warning3. A. feelings B. touch C. feedback D. response4. A. faster B. more slowly C. worse D. better5. A. tiring B. exciting C. excited D. tired6. A. of learning B. to learn C. to copy D. to memorize7. A. hand B. body C. elbow D. brain8. A. take B. put C. store D. give9. A. correct B. similar C. same D. different10. A. erased B. refreshed C. kept D. stored11. A. usual B. unusual C. wrong D. strange12. A. do B. deal C. stay D. solve13. A. in B. by C. with D. from14. A. see B. sense C. know D. predict15. A. already B. never C. even D. ever三、阅读理解（共2题；共30分）（一）The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to compete and then do better than their human ancestors. Once they do better than us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have endedcarbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to improve environments. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.（1）In what way can we make a machine intelligent? （）A. By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B. By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C. By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D. By reproducing it.（2）What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability? （）A. He believes they will be useful to human beings.B. He believes that they will control us in the future.C. He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D. He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.（3）The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para.2) stands for _________.A. intelligent robotsB. a chemical elementC. an organic substanceD. human beings（4）It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. after connections with phones, robots will be able to have self-reproductionB. people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC. once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will have intelligenceD. robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space（二）Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions，Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial，at least today，of Twain's novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain's most widely read tale.Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟)．”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti-slavery.Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J．Chadwick has pointed out，the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities，“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man.”There is much more.Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master's baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the master's baby by his wife.The slave's lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of theslave-holding class.The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss：nurture(养育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech，for example—were，to Twain，indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twain's racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved w hat were called“nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black-face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist？Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free him.And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.（1）How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowe's? （）A. Twain was more willng to deal with racism.B. Twain's attack on racism was much less open.C. Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots.D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.（2）Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its________.A. target readers at the bottomB. anti-slavery attitudeC. rather impolite languageD. frequent use of “nigger”（3）What best proves Twain's anti-slavery stand according to the author? （）A. Jim's search for his family was described in detail.B. The slave's voice was first heard in American novels.C. Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.D. Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.（4）The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that________.A. slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB. slaves' babies could pick up slave-holders' way of speakingC. blacks' social position was shaped by how they were brought upD. blacks were born with certain features of prejudice（5）What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to? （）A. The attacks.B. Slavery and prejudice.C. White men.D. The shows. （6）What does the author mainly argue for? （）A. Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.B. Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.C. Twain's works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.D. Twain's works should be read from a historical point of view.四、任务型阅读（共5分）It's nice being nice to others; it's also great to give people a hand. However, if you start to hurt yourself by doing so, then this is not so healthy.________If you fear that you might fall into this category, the following tips will help you to stand up for yourself and regain your self-confidence. ________Although you may often stay silent if something is wrong or bothers you, it is better to speak your mind right away. You don't have to be rude, but you do have to be firm and direct. Don't do things for others if you don't really want to. Speak up, and soon others will be seeing you in a whole new light.Start small.________This will allow you to practice being brave and self-confident. Tell a person who has cut in line in front of you to move to the back of the line, or tell a salesperson to do that. Before long, you will be confident enough to stand up to your friends and family members.Judge well.When dealing with others, you have to exercise good judgment. ________If a colleague isn't doing his part, you should rightfully demand that he start doing so. However, if a taxi cuts you off in traffic, just let it go.________Rome wasn't built in a day. If you want to get back again after having been a pushover(耳软心活的人), it's best to take one step at a time.A. Express yourself.B. Regain your confidence.C. Start by speaking up for yourself with strangers.D. Everyone has the right to live without being judged.E. If you slip back into the pushover mode every once in a while, don't blame yourself.F. Sadly, some people are so easily pushed around that they come to be seen as pushovers.G. It's one thing to be confident, but quite another to forcefully say no to an unreasonable request.五、翻译（共10分）1.我们最终一定会成功。

Unit2 Robots单元综合测试第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项.AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about.

It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,”says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.26. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.27. The phrase” full of vim and vigor”underlined in Paragraph 1 probably means______.A. ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits28. According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should be those __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses29. The last paragraph implies that __________.A. positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B. people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C. keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D. positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.CComic Strips(连环漫画)For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl(猫头鹰)and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning(狡猾的) greedy(贪婪的) and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad --- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger orcleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.30. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character31. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.32. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. braveDMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert” their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group. Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall, performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missing a large segment of the talent pool?”33. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.34. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB. a book reviewC. A feature storyD. a science report35.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People’s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD. Brainstorming Affects Women’s Performance第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Our 26 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 27 everything to their kindness and love.When we 28 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 29 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 30 our own love and gratitude to them. 31 , elders have also been through all the years you are 32 and know a little more about the world than you do.It is 33 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 34 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 35 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 36 .With changing times and 37 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 38 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 39 their voices.If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 40 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 41 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 42 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 43 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 44 disadvantage.When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 45 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.26.

It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is create d almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.46.

Nevertheless, it hasbeen said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education in this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive（全包括的）than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of ______ learning. The agents of education can range from a respectable grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished （卓越的）scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability（可预测性）, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy （婴幼儿）on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a complete part of one's entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that there not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding51.What is the title of the passage？__________________________________________________________________________52.Fill in the blank with only one English word.______________________________________53.How does the author develop the passage?____________________________________54.List at least three common things that children all over the country do in the school.___________________________________________________________55.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese._______________________________________________________________________五、词组翻译换句话说__________________ 适合__________________总而言之__________________ 闲坐着__________________和，也__________________ 在很多方面__________________上气不接下气__________________ 遇到，经历__________________陪某人去某地__________________ 陪某人做某事__________________给…打电话__________________ 转身，翻转__________________一定做…__________________比…资历浅，年轻__________________切去，省略，停止__________________1.
