第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)略 第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)AMany of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe.But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance.South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues.Du Toit, 24, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会) in Beijing.Although she finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the ablebodied Games , she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Toit was alreadya promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17.“There are a lot of dark moments ,” du Toit said.“There are some days when I cry.But I try to remember that better days are ahead.You just go on.”Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.She still competes and still succeeds.The only difference is that she has switched to longer events —from 200m and 400m individual medley to 800m and 1,500m freestyle —to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg.But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook(精神面貌).“Going out in the water , it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me.It doesn’t matter if you look different.You’re still the same as everybody else because you have thesame dream.”She is the owner of many world records, and she also won gold when competing against ablebodied swimmers in the 1,500m freestyle at the All Africa Games in 2007.But there is no magic recipe for success.It all comes down to hard work and determination.“She is stubborn , which is good and bad,”said her coach Karoly Von Toros.“Good for the swimming , but bad for the coach.”There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:Thetragedyoflifedoesnotlieinnotreachingyourgoals; Thetragedyoflifeliesinnothavinggoalstoreachfor .21. Natalie du Toit is a vivid example that________. A. you are what you believe B. your biggest enemy is yourselfC. results are not so important as the processD. you must set reasonable goals or you will fail22. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “embodies” in the first paragraph? A. Makes.B. Creates.C. Represents.D. Introduces.23. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Natalie du Toit?a. She won gold at the All Africa Games.b. She finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the Olympics.c. She adjusted herself to long events.d. A motorcycle accident disabled her. A. cdabB. dcbaC. dcabD. dacb24. In dark moments it was ________ that pushed her on. A. her coachB. her familyC. hope and faithD. her love ofswimmingB此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号 考场号 座位号Texting while driving, and speeding aren’t all that parents need to worry abou t when their kids are incars: Add secondhand smoke to the list.In the first national estimate of its kind, a report from government researchers says more than 1 in 5 high school students and middle schoolers ride in cars while others are smoking.This kin d of secondhand smoke exposure has been linked with breathing problems and allergy symptoms, and more restrictions are needed to prevent it, the report says.With widespread crackdowns on smoking in public, private places including homes and cars are wher e people encounter secondhand smoke these days.Antismoking advocates have zeroed in on cars because of research showing they’re potentially more dangerous than smokefilled bars and other less confined areas.The study is based on national surveys done at public and private high schools and middle schools.Students were asked how often they rode in cars while someone was smoking within the past week.The most common answer was one or two days.The smoker could mean other kids or parents.“Thereisnoriskfreelevelofexposuretosecondhandsmoke.”the CDC says.“The car is the only source of exposure for some of these children, so if you can reduce that exposure, it’s definitely advantageous for health.”King said.The CDC advises parents not to allow smoking in their homes and cars, and says opening a car window will not protect kids from cigarette smoke inside.Measures banning smoking in cars when children are present have been enacted in a handful of states and proposed in several others.The study authors say similar bans should be adopted elsewhere.24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Speeding.B. Riding in cars.C. Texting while driving.D. Secondhand smoke.25. The attitude of King towards banning smoking in cars was________.A. doubtfulB. neutralC. supportiveD. disapproving26. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Many Kids Smoke While Driving a CarB. More Kids Complain About Smoking in CarsC. Kids Are Exposed to Secondhand Smoke a LotD. Too Many Kids Breathe Others’ Smoke in CarsCI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free.But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem, I thought:we’ll buy another.But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all?I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our familybeing“too poor to afford a car”?(I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital?(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events?(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again.The idea that you“have to”own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in themind.I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic:do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.28. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ________.A.most families chose to go car-freeB.he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC.the cost of a new car was too muchD.the traffic jam was unbearable for him29. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. SupportiveB. DisapprovingC. OptimisticD. Unconcerned30. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’opinion?A.Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C.Think it over.D.Leave it alone.31. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A.Life cannot go without a car.B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.C.His life gets improved without a car.D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.DSociety tells us that we should count our blessings, focus on all that we have and feel grateful for what we’ve been given.But there is nothing wrong with“healthy discontent”.In fact, healthy discontent is what motivates us to improve ourselves and our circumstances.Without this feeling, life’s easier to stand still.I always have a certain level of discomfort.That discomfort drives me to work hard at my job.I don’t just want to remain where I am.Professi onally, I want to keep getting better.Likewise, I always have a certain amount of discontent with my home.That drives me to always try to improve it by makingit look better.My feelings of discontent with my job and my home don’t mean that I don’t apprecia te them.It’s an incredible blessing to be able to work and be paidfor one’s efforts.Similarly, if you live in a safe place, with running water, heating, and air conditioning, you are incredibly fortunate.These are not the things to be taken for granted.However, we should be striving(力争)to improve.If you happen to be good at playing the piano, you should work to continually improve your skills.The same holds true for our personal development.If you have areas in your personality that need improvement, you should work on them, too.For instance, I can be very impatient. As a result, I work hard to try to conquer that flaw(缺点) by keeping my impatience to myself.When we feel discontent with ourselves, we have to be honest with ourselves.It’s easy to make excus es for our bad behavior, but we need to face our discontent and say to ourselves, “I need to work on this.”This week, consider whether you have healthy discontent in your life.Have you become so settled in your life that you don’t see regular improvement?Do you have a character flaw that you wish you didn’t have? Don’t ignore these things.Instead, take steps to address your areas of discontent and keep improving your life every day.No matter how great we think things are going, there’s always room for improvement.32. What is stressed in Paragraph1?A.The gratitude for what we have.B.The importance of healthy discontent.C.The lessons from society.D.The easiness of standing still in life.33. Why does the author have feelings of discontent with his job and home?A.He doesn’t treasure them.B.He is particular about them.C.He desires to improve them.D.He is difficult to satisfy.34. What does the author advise you to do if you have personal flaws?A.Leave them as they are.B.Make efforts to overcome them.C.Make excuses for them.D.Be patient with ourselves.35. How does the author support his view mostly?A.By listing some questions.B.By telling his own experiences.C.By analyzing various causes of healthy discontent.D.By showing consequences of healthy discontent.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。

Without this feeling, life’s easier to stand still.I always have a certain level of discomfort. That discomfort drives me to work hard at my job. I don’t just want to remain where I am. Professionally, I want to keep getting better. Likewise, I always have a certain amount of discontent with my home. That drives me to always try to improve it by making it look better.My feelings of discontent with my job and my home don’t mean that I don’t appreciate them.It’s an incredible blessing to be able to work and be paid for one’s efforts. Similarly, if you live in a safe place, with running water, heating, and air conditioning, you are incredibly fortunate. These are not the things to be taken for granted. However, we should be striving(力争)to improve.If you happen to be good at playing the piano, you should work to continually improve your skills. The same holds true for our personal development. If you have areas in your personality that need improvement, you should work on them, too.For instance, I can be very impatient. As a result, I work hard to try to conquer that flaw(缺点) by keeping my impatience to myself. When we feel discontent with ourselves, we have to be honest with ourselves.It’s easy to make excuses for our bad behavior, but we need to face our discontent and say to ourselves, “I need to work on this.” This week, consider whether you have healthy discontent in your life. Have you become so settled in your life that you don’t see regular improvement?Do you have a character flaw that you wish you didn’t have? Don’t ignore these things. Instead, take steps to address your areas of discontent and keep improving your life every day. No matter how great we think things are going, there’s always room for improvement.32.

AExplore the possibility of using the iPad App Store in the classroom.App Name: Bridge Constructor/Cost: $1.99Bridge Constructor lets players build increasingly challenging bridges over deep valleys, canals and rivers. Stress tests reveal whether the bridge kids build can withstand continual use from cars, trucks, and more recently, super-heavy tank trucks. Players can choose from among a range of bridge-building materials such as wood, steel, cables and concrete pillars (混凝土柱). Each bridge also has a budget, and there are numerous ways to successfully complete each challenge.App Name: Pyramid Adventure 3-D/Cost: $13.99The interface allows users to fly around the plateau where the pyramids and the Sphinx are located at Giza near Cairo. Interactive, three-dimensional maps let students wander around the labyrinthine tombs and passageways. Uses can examine wall paintings in detail, or view royal statues and objects with a 360-degree feature. To help explain the world of ancient Egyptians, the app offers an accompanying interactive book, specially written by world-famous Egyptologist Zahi Hawass.App Name: Grammar Up/Cost: $4.99Grammar Up is a multiple-choice quiz system for English grammar. Kids and adults can learn most quickly when playing learning games with real-time error feedback, which Grammar Up provides. The app also offers students practice tests so they can see how much they’ve leaned. A summary is presented at the end of each test, showing the time spent, a score, and the questions answered correctly and incorrectly. The results are also e-mailable.21. By playing Bridge Constructor, you can .A. learn how to driveB. improve your ability of buildingC. save a large amount of moneyD. try many ways to become successful22. Playing Grammar Up means .A. answering some grammar questionsB. making some grammar mistakesC. talking with your friends onlineD. listening to a grammar expert carefully23. The text is meant to .A. show the development of modem technologyB. show the differences among the iPad appsC. offer some tips to buy some cheap appsD. introduce some practical apps to studentsBPeople aren’t walking any more if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey isa matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which T had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illness than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise---the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.The car is convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature anymore; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete (混凝土) road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.24. What is the national sickness?A. Walking too much.B. Traveling too much.C. Driving cars too much.D. Climbing stairs too much.25. What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. People often walked 25 miles a day.C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.26. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that .A. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease27. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?A. A queue of cars.B. A ray of traffic light.C. A flash of lightning.D. A stream of people.C“Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression. When there wasn’t electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle. The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant. Now, it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.” It means to be still and not talk. “Hold your tongue” is not something you would tell a friend. But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out” is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news. It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players ‘‘hold out” if their team refuses to pay them whatthey think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings. One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, “This is a hold-up. Give me your money.” Another meaning is to delay. A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work. Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on” is another expression, which means waiting or stopping. As you leave for school, your brother may say, “Hold on, you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line”. That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady. For example, the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes”. He means there will be no increase in taxes.28. The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when ________.A. some footballers refuse to play a gameB. someone else is wanted on the phoneC. someone is not qualified for a positionD. someone was delayed by heavy traffic29. The tune of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little ________.A. amusingB. politeC. unfriendlyD. offensive30. If some teachers “hold out”, they probably ________.A. change their attitudeB. refuse to workC. make a compromiseD. show their devotion31. Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?A. I was late as I was held up by a hold-up.B. Hold on! You have to pay the bill, sir.C. You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.D. I promise to hold the line on house prices.DA “virtual (虚拟的) cocktail” glass that lets you change the flavor (味道) of your drink using your Smartphone has been developed by scientists.Offering a customizable (定制的) range of drinks and tastes, the Vocktail can change a glass of water into a cocktail at the press of a button. The world’s first technology tricks your brain into thinking it is experiencing a specific flavor by fooling your senses of sight, smell and taste.Developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore, the glass’ three sensory components are controlled via a Smartphone App. Because the software can combine a number of smells, colors and tastes, the Vocktail can create almost any flavor.Developer Nimesha Ranasinghe said: “Our approach is to increase drinks flavor experience by overlaying outer sensory stimuli (刺激物). For example, in the Vocktail we overlay color, taste and smell sensations to create an adjustable flavor experience. Flavor is mainly how we feel food and that is achieved through the use of these senses. Therefore, by changing the color of the drink, using different smells and changing the taste through electricity, we are able to copy the flavor of a drink without it actually changing the liquid.”The glass houses three fragrance containers connected to micro-air pumps. The pumps release smell that change your feeling of the drinks, flavor. For example, a lemon fragrance will trick your brain into believing it is tasting lemon-flavored drink.On the outside edge of the glass are two electrode strips (电焊条) that send electric pulses into your tongue to stimulate your sense of taste and flavor differs with different pulses.32. What controls the sensory components?A. An electrode strip.B. A Smartphone App.C. Fragrance container.D. A micro-air pump.33. How does the Vocktail work?A. By transforming the inner liquid.B. By stimulating the tip of one’s tongue.C. By putting different kinds of drinks together.D. By tricking one’s brain into flavor experience.34. What does the underlined “that” in the 4th paragraph refer to?A. The flavor.B. The software.C. The Vocktail.D. The button.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Smartphone Create a Kind of Liquid.B. Vocktail Make Water Taste Like Cocktail.C. Approaches Found to Change Water into Wine.D. Smartphone Produces Smells, Colors and Tastes.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。

AI always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.Then I fainted(晕倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction. Feeling color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids...they have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?”I thought. People stared down at me, with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.“I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.21. The author once ________ when she was healthy.A. showed respect to disabled peopleB. looked down upon disabled peopleC. imagined herself sitting in a wheelchairD. saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs22.

考点规范练7(必修2Unit2)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018·北京)My First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon,one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks,leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet,I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class,the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn’t do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s,I realized running was a battle against myself,not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!The night before my marathon,I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line,my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to read-just.Not the start I wanted!At mile 3,I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT,RUNNERS!”By mile 17,I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21,I was starving!As I approached mile 23,I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact,I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,move forward,free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签),I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.1.A month before the marathon,the author .A.was well trainedB.felt scaredC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope2.Why did the author mention the P.E.class in his 7th year?A.To

it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.4.What does the story mainly tell us?A.A man owes his success to his family support.B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.C.Failure is the mother of success.D.One is never too old to learn.Ⅱ.完形填空The worst problem with our current economic crisis is the strong sense of worry.It is eating people alive.Worry affects

The Difference Between Healthy People and the DisabledBCredit cards let people buy things now and pay for them over months or even years. But some people get deep into debt.And critics say some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt. In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision of the credit card industry.Credit cards have been heavily marketed through the mail and at stores. Theyoffereconomicpowerataprice. In 2004, Americans had about $800 billion in credit card debt. Now they owe about $968 billion.Critics say banks made it very easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credit markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts.The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.Some lawmakers are concerned that cardholders do not have enough protection from what critics say are abusive policies. These include actions like raising interest rates because of an unrelated event. Also, banks mayraise the chances of a late payment by changing monthly payment dates for credit cards.According to a survey, 82% of Americans think credit cards provide a valuable service. But a majority, 58%, say they do not trust credit card companies. And three out of four people think the government should regulate(管理) the industry more closely. Three out of four people feel there are always some conditions that make a card less appealing than the company made it sound. And a little more than half say they have had a card that was not as good as they expected. But close to 80% say no one really reads the terms and conditions when they sign up for a credit card.24. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably mean?A. People can enjoy more convenience using credit cards.B. Credit cards can improve people’s buying power.C. People can buy things at lower prices using credit cards.D. Credit cards bring more card debt as well as convenience.25. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. Banks are making it harder for people to get credit cards.B. Some people’s credit limits have been reduced.C. It is more difficult to borrow money from some banks.D. Banks are receiving more charges from late payments.26. Which of the following can bea case of abusive policies?A. Banks make credit cards look more attractive.B. Banks ignore the danger of bad debts.C. Banks raise interest rates with no good reason.D. Banks put off monthlypayment dates.27. What can we know from the text?A. Banks depend entirely on late payments to develop.B. People should be more careful when applying for a credit card.C. The US government provides better protection for cardholders.D. The majority of Americans don’t think much of credit cards.CWhen you think of a robot, do you imagine a shiny machine having the same character as a human being, performing humanlike functions and responding to your questions in a monotone(单调的) voice? This is the way many of us imagine a robot, but in the real world a robot is not humanoid at all. Instead, a robot often is a voiceless, box-shaped machine that efficiently carries out tiresome or dangerous functions usually performed by humans. Today’s robot is more than an automatic machine that performs one task again and again. A modern robot is programmed with varying degrees of artificial intelligence, that is, a robot contains a computer program that tells it how to perform tasks associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, drawing conclusions and learning from past experience.A robot does not possess a human shape for the simple reason that a two-legged robot has great difficulty remaining balanced. A robot does, however, move from place to place on wheels and axles(轮轴) that roll around. A robot even has limbs that turn round and move in combination with joints and motors. To find its way in its surroundings, a robot uses various built-in sensors. Antennae(天线) attached to the robot’s base detect anything they bump into. To determine its distance from an object and howquickly it will reach the object, the robot bounces beams of laser light in its path. These and other sensors constantly feed information to the computer, which then analyzes the information and corrects or adjusts the robot’s actions. With the development of science and technology, the robot will progress in its functions and use of artificial intelligence programs too.28. The writer begins the passage by comparing ________.A. a real-life robot with a fictional robotB. the shape of a human being with a boxC. an imaginary machine with a human beingD. a robot with a computer program29. The underlined word “humanoid” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.A. lacking human feelingsB. lacking human characteristicsC. having a human form and characteristicsD. lacking human intelligence30. According to the first paragraph, artificial intelligence is ________.A. the unnatural way in which robots moveB. a voiceless, box-shaped machine that performs repetitive tasksC. a computer program that imitates human intellectual processesD. a sensor that detects troubles in a robot31. The last paragraph suggests that future robots will ________.A. be better than human beings in intelligenceB. be more humanlike in behavior and actionC. use a laser to transmit informationD. perform very complicated household jobsDI began working in journalism when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to “make something”of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was supper time, I walked back home.“How many did you sell, my boy?”my mother asked.“None.”“Where did you go?”“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did y ou do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a SaturdayEveningPost.”“You just stood there.”“Didn’t sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the SaturdayEveningPost in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that.As soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines.Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought thisbattlealmost as long as I could remember.My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.32. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was ________.A. ExcitedB. interestedC. ashamedD. disappointed33. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?A. She forced him to continue.B. She punished him.C. She gave him some money.D. She changed her plan.34. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?A. The war between the boy’s parents.B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.D. The fight between the boy and his father.35. What is the text mainly about?A. The early life of a journalist.B. The early success of a journalist.C. The happy childhood of the writer.D. The important role of the writer in his family.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。

This is the way many of us imagine a robot, but in the real world a robot is not humanoid at all. Instead, a robot often is a voiceless, boxshaped machine that efficiently carries out tiresome or dangerous functions usually performed by humans. Today’s robot is more than an automatic machine that performs one task again and again.A modern robot is programmed with varying degrees of artificial intelligence, that is, a robot contains a computer program that tells it how to perform tasks associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, drawing conclusions and learning from past experience.A robot does not possess a human shape for the simple reason that a twolegged robot has great difficulty remaining balanced. A robot does, however, move from place to place on wheels and axles(轮轴) that roll around. A robot even has limbs that turn round and move in combination with joints and motors. To find its way in its surroundings, a robot uses various builtin sensors. Antennae(天线) attached to the robot’s base detect anything they bump into. To determine its distance from an object and how quickly it will reach the object, the robot bounces beams of laser light in its path. These and other sensors constantly feed information to the computer, which then analyzes the information and corrects or adjusts the robot’s actions. With the development of science and technology, the robo t will progress in its functions and use of artificial intelligence programs too.28.
