ATwo inseparable (形影不离的) friends，Sam and Jason，met with an accident on their way to Boston City.The following morning，Jason woke up blind and Sam was still unconscious.Dr Berkeley was standing at his bedside looking at his health chart and medications with a thoughtful expression on his face.When he saw Sam awake，he beamed at him and asked，“How are you feeling today，Sam？”Sam tried to put up a br ave face and smiled back saying，“Absolutely wonderful，Doctor.I am very grateful for all that you have done for me.” Dr Berkeley was moved at Sam's deed.All that he could say was，“You are a very brave man，Sam.And God will make it up to you in one way or another.” While he was moving on to the next patient，Sam called back at him almost pleading (请求)，“Promise me you won't tell Jason anythin g.”“You know I won't do that.Trust me.” and then walked away.Months later when Jason had recuperated (恢复) considerably，he stopped hanging around with Sam.He felt discouraged and embarrassed to spend time with a disabled person like Sam.Sam was lonely and depressed and things went from bad to worse.One day Sam died in despair.When Jason was called on his burial，Dr Berkeley gave a letter to him with an expressionless face and said，“This is for you，Jason.Sam had asked me to give it to yo u when he was gone.”In the letter he had said，“Dear Jason，I have kept my promise in the end to lend you my eyes if anything had happened to them.Now there is nothing more that I can ask from God than the fact that you will see the world through my eyes.You will always be my best friend...Sam.”When he had finished reading，Dr Berkeley said，“I had promised Sam to keep his sacrifice he made a secret from you.But now I wish I didn't stick to it because I don't think it was worthy it.”【语篇解读】一对形影不离的好朋友在一次事故之后发生的故事，令人唏嘘。

ASchool's out.It's been a long day，so you head home to relax.You're greeted by a friend who's happy to see you，listens to you talk about recess，tells you a new joke，helps you put away your school stuff (东西)，and reminds you to text your cousin happy birthday.And that's before he helps you with your homework.This is your future，and it all starts with a knee-high robot called NAO (pronounced NOW)．It kind of looks like you，walks and dances，listens and talks，and even learns and thinks for itself.Its creators predict that the state-of-the-art robot could be a companion at home by the year 2040.This $16，000 robot recognizes human facial features，so it knows who you are.NAO can even express emotions.It represents the new generation of “autonomous”—or self-guided robots.These robots can sense，think，and act.Other robots might do two out of the three.For example，a robot might sense things using cameras and think using computers，but with no arms，wheels，or claws，it can't act.Other robots can move and sense things，but can't think for themselves.Thesearen't self-guided robots.But NAO can do it all.“You can programme your computer to give NAO what could be called personality，”says Natanel Dukan of Aldebaran Robotics，the French company that built NAO.The robot has cute，childlike features—a high voice，small body，big eyes，and a large head.“There are things that are known to have an emotional appeal to people，”robot expert Dan Kara says.“NAO's friendly design helps in one of NAO's main functions—to teach people how useful personal robots can be.Someday it may help you pass a test！”【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了一款新型的机器人。

单元质量检测(二)(时间：100分钟满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(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。

AResearchers at The University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes.“Shoes convey a thin but useful piece of information about their wearer，”the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.“Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues (非语言暗示) with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”Medical Daily notes that the detailed personality information detected in the study includes a person's general age, gender, income, political ideas, and other personality, including someone's emotional stability.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study, 63 students from The University of Kansas looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. V olunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.Some of the results were expected: people with higher income most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people.However, some results are funny and interesting. For example，“practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned_with the “aggressive”personality. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking”shoes tend to have the “calm” personality.The researchers noted that some people would choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality information, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personality.1．According to Paragraph 2, which of the following statements is true?A．The shoes people wear may reflect the information of the wearer.B．People would always look at strangers' shoes with a practical purpose.C．Shoes are so funny and interesting that they attract people's much attention.D．People pay attention to shoes in order to know the information of the shoes.2．According to the text, the researchers did the study by ________．A．doing casual interviewsB．carrying out lab experimentsC．analyzing the data from the participantsD．observing the participants3．The underlined part “aligned with”probably means “________”．A．familiar with B．related toC．provided with D．devoted toBA little girl lines up plastic letters in front of a little robot. The robot struggles to reproduce them on a tablet. The girl kindly steps in to help, writing out the word to show the robot how to do it. She puts in effort to teach the robot, without realizing that she is actually the one who is improving her writing skills. Yesterday, EPFL researchers introduced their new teaching tool at the Conference on Human­Robot Interaction (HRI) held in Portland, the USA.The program is based on a principle called “Learning by Teaching”. When children experience difficulties in writing, they can easily lose confidence, or even gradually lose interest in the learning process. Eventually, their entire education can be affected. When students put themselves in the place of a teacher and pass on what they know to their peers, they can regain their self­confidence and interest in their studies.Scientists developed progressive writing algorithms (算法) and used them in an existing robot model which was designed to interact with humans. With these algorithms, the machine can slowly draw words on demand, and then gradually improve. To do this, it uses many handwriting examples, which allow it to reproduce common errors made by young children while learning. It is also possible to program the robot so that it can pay attention to the particular difficulties of a student.The system has already been used in primary school lessons with about seventy students ranging from six to eight years old, and then individually with a six­year­old child for one hour per week over the course of one month. So far the system has been very well received.4．The little girl is mentioned to ________．A．advertise an old robotB．introduce a smart girl to usC．lead to the topic of the textD．explain how girls study today5．What kind of role does the robot play?A．A teacher who is good at teaching.B．A student who needs to be taught.C．A student who is good at his studies.D．A teacher who knows students' mistakes.6．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A．How the robot works.B．The popularity of the robot.C．Why the robot was designed.D．The appearance of the robot.7．Those who have tried the system most probably consider it ________．A．difficult B．stupidC．childish D．helpfulCMy kids tell me it's unfair to play with the big children; I tell them that's right. The playing field is never even or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome.Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair, but unfair things usually benefit you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast, but it is nice to know that if he gets up early he is sure to get the worm.I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair the thing is will get them nowhere. Instead, make use of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining the unfair advantage and you have to build your inner strength. When you empower (使强大) yourself, you are gaining skills or abilities, confidence and self­confidence. You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically? You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven't yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building the advantage so that you never have to say that it's not fair. When you do this, then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing.8．Why is unfairness a good thing?A．It will benefit us.B．It leads us to success.C．It's common in the playing field.D．It gives us a realistic view of the world.9．How does the author explain the benefits of unfair things?A．By listing facts.B．By telling a story.C．By making comparisons.D．By giving an example.10．According to the author, what should we do in face of unfair things?A．Avoid them if possible.B．Take advantage of them.C．Change them to fair things.D．Analyze the reason behind them.11．The text is written to ________．A．advise us to be positive before unfair thingsB．ask us to stop complaining about unfair thingsC．encourage us to try our best in the playing fieldD．show the author's attitude to competitive sportsDWe've been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us. We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy. Over the years, there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones, portable desks to ones that change into shelves.However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk. The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule. If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course, the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left corner of the desk.When switching positions, the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up. If you're not ready to switch positions at that time, you can tap the touch screen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.The built­in touch screen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you've burned. You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand. The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements.All of that smart tech doesn't come cheap though. The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2，990, while the more executive model with added features, the F1, goes for $4，190.While expensive, it's worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks. Much like a good mattress (床垫)，a good desk that works with you is worth the investment. Hopefully in a few years these smart, integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.12．The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to ________．A．help users with their workB．keep users moving all the timeC．get users to exercise while workingD．remind users of their working schedule13．Which is the feature of the touch screen of the desk?A．It can tell users when to change positions.B．It can track users' changes of positions.C．It can keep users in a fixed position.D．It can detect users' health condition.14．Which of the following can best describe the desk?A．Productive but challenging.B．Convenient but unaffordable.C．Complex and impractical.D．Multi­functional and intelligent.15．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．To spend money on such a desk is rewarding.B．We should get such a desk as soon as possible.C．It won't be long before the desk is widely used.D．Desks play a very important role in our daily life.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(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。

温馨提示：Unit 2（时间：120分钟满分：150分）Ⅰ. 听说训练(满分15分)Part A Reading aloud(模仿朗读)In this part, you are required to read after the speaker in the record.Listen to the passage.Every year a lot of people are killed or injured in road accidents. How can we make the road safer?Remember the following traffic rules:When you ride a bike, keep to the right side of the road. Don’t cross the road or turn left at a red traffic light. Give a hand signal if you want to turn or stop.Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways, right and left. If the road is clear, it is safe to cross.The correct way to cross is to walk quickly，but not run. If you run across the road，you may fall down.If you see small children or old people waiting to cross the road，you should do a kind deed and help them to cross in safety. We should teach small children not to play or ride on the road.Always obey these rules，and you’ll find it much safer to walk or ride on the road.Now you have ONE minute to practise reading.Now listen to the passage once again and try to read after the speaker.Now read aloud the passage.Part B Role Play(角色扮演)In this part you will act as a role and complete three communicative tasks: listen to the speaker, ask the speaker three questions and then answer five questions.角色: Mark和Linda情景: Mark和Linda相遇，并谈论Linda开餐馆的相关事情。

AIndependence days around the worldOrder and progress in BrazilIn one of the most peaceful Latin American revolutions, Brazil won its freedom after Portuguese prince Dom Pedro Ⅰ declared it independent of his father's rule on September 7th, 1822.Pakistani prideA boldly painted youth cheers for independence in front of the national flag in Wagah, a Pakistani town near India. At midnight on August 15th, 1947, the Indian Independence Act unseated (罢免) the British Raj and established the two countries. Islamic Pakistan now celebrates its freedom on August 14th, which is also a Muslim holy day.Indonesian determinationThe Proclamation of Indonesian Independence on August 17th, 1945 threw the country into four years of war with the Netherlands, which Indonesia won in 1949. Celebratory customs include the release of hundreds of green turtles (海龟) into the ocean from Bali's Kuta Beach, and panjat pinang, a game in which a pole is set up, covered with oily clay (黏土) and hung with bicycles, televisions and other prizes. Whoever climbs all the way to the top wins, though people often work together to split the prize.Whimsical skies in ColombiaAfter protesters took to Bogota's streets on July 20th, 1810, the Spanish governor acknowledged a limited independence that eventually gave way to full sovereignty (主权) in 1819. Colourful hot air balloon shows have previously been in honor of Colombia's quest for freedom, and folk dancing, flag raising ceremonies andtraditional food such as corn cakes are also staples (主要内容) of the day.1．The most peaceful revolution of the four is the one in ________．A．Indonesia B．PakistanC．Colombia D．Brazil2．When does Islamic Pakistan celebrate its freedom?A．September 7th.

D．July 20th.3．What is among the celebratory customs in Indonesia?A．The release of green turtles into the ocean.B．Colourful hot air balloon shows.C．Flag raising ceremonies.D．Folk dancing.BI was very excited on the first day of high school! I had P．E. for the first period. We hurriedly gathered in the locker room (衣帽间) when the headmaster began to spea k, “Good morning, boys and girls! Welcome to the first day of the great new school year. We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”I pulled my shirt over my head and my right hand immediately rested over my heart. A few tears came to my eyes as every time I pledged. I thought of my grandpa. He had died almost a year before, but I still missed him every day. Grandpa served in World War Ⅱ and the flag had a very special meaning for him.The next morning in the locker room, I noticed something strange. Some girls talked through the pledge. In the morning after that, even fewer did the pledge, including the teachers. By the second week of school, I was the only girl in the whole locker room that did the pledge.The next morning, I hid in the bathroom to change clothes and pledge. There I couldn't see the flag and felt guilty to be hiding like that. I kept hiding for the nextweek and felt worse.I spent a weekend gathering up my nerve. On Monday, I changed into my gym clothes right away and was standing by my locker when the headmaster began morning announcements. The pledge started and I put my hand over my heart.A girl nearby locked her locker and asked, “Why are you doing that？” She looked confused.“My grandpa fought in World War Ⅱ and he died last year，” I said. “I'm doing it for him.”She felt embarrassed and looked away. “Oh，” she said.Over the next few weeks, more girls questioned me about the pledge. I gave them all that same answer.I never inspired other girls to do the pledge along with me. They made a choice;I made mine. I was doing it for Grandpa, but more than that, I was doing it for myself. Grandpa raised me to be proud of my country and that pride didn't stop.4．How did other students behave during later pledge periods?A．They gradually quit the pledge.B．They continued to show curiosity.C．They did the pledge with sincerity.D．They made fun of those who did the pledge.5．How did I feel about hiding in the bathroom for the pledge?A．Happy.B．Excited.C．Guilty. D．Nervous.6．The author did the pledge every day because ________．A．the flag had a special meaning for herB．the headmaster required her to do soC．all the teachers and students did thatD．it was a way to show love for her grandpa7．What would be the best title for the passage?A．The first day at schoolB．My grandpaC．The secret in the locker roomD．The pledge of loyaltyCA delightful-looking robot called MEDi, or Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence, is being used to help make doctors' visits less painful.The Alberta Children's Hospital in Canada purchased four of the MEDi robots earlier this year. The bionic (仿生学的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to RxRobots, the group that created MEDi. The MEDi's purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. The robots have produced real results. According to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a MEDi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medic al procedures than those who do not. “Parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot，” Tanya Beran, founder and chief scientific officer at RxRobots, told CNBC of MEDi's success at the children's hospital.The two-foot-tall robots can relieve patients' anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. MEDi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (能力). The robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. Not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.“Our research shows that whe n children interact with MEDi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure，” Beran said. “This means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率)．” Beran said that MEDi robots are also a hit with pare nts. “Knowing that there is something out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great，” Sheila Sousa, the mother of an 8­year­old patient said.8．MEDi robots are mainly used to ________．A．help foreign patients communicate with doctorsB．assist doctors in completing medical proceduresC．take kids to the hospital if their parents are busyD．make kids feel less pain during medical procedures9．The underlined word “relieve” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．A．cause B．reduceC．increase D．remove10．We can learn from the passage that MEDi ________．A．is bad-lookingB．is one foot tallC．can recognize facesD．can only speak English11．Where does the passage probably come from?A．A travel guide.B．A science magazine.C．A book review.D．A storybook.DGeorge Harrison, one member of the Beatles, reached No. 1 with a song, My Sweet Lord. But his sweet time at the top was short-lived. Within a month, a lawsuit was filed (提出诉讼). Harrison's song shared a melody (曲子) with the 1963 hit song by the Chiffons, He's So Fine. Judge Richard Owen ruled that Harrison was guilty. But he said Harrison's theft wasn't intentional; it was accidental.Psychologist Dan Gilbert calls this kleptomnesia: generating (产生) an idea that you believe is new, but in fact is created by someone else. It's accidental plagiarism (剽窃), and it's all too common in creative work. Psychologists Alan Brown and DanaMurphy invited people to brainstorm in groups of four. They took turns generating lists of sports, clothes or four-legged animals. Next, the participants were asked to write down the four ideas that they personally generated for each category. Alarmingly, a full 75 percent of participants unintentionally plagiarized, claiming they generated an idea that was in fact offered by another member of their group. And later, the participants wrote down four new ideas for each category. The majority wrote down at least one idea that had already been generated by another group member — usually the group member who had generated ideas immediately before them.Kleptomnesia happens due to a feature of how people's memory is connected. When we get information, we tend to pay more attention to the content than the source. Once we accept a piece of information as true, we no longer need to worry about where we acquired it.

单元质量检测(二)(时间：100分钟满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AA delightful­looking robot called MEDi, or Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence, is being used to help make doctors' visits less painful.The Alberta Children's Hospital in Canada purchased four of the MEDi robots earlier this year. The bionic (仿生学的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to RxRobots, the group that created MEDi. The MEDi's purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. The robots have produced real results. According to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a MEDi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medical procedures than those who do not. “Parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot，”Tanya Beran, founder and chief scientific officer at RxRobots, told CNBC of MEDi's success at the children's hospital.T he two­foot­tall robots can relieve patients' anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. MEDi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (力量). The robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. Not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.“Our research shows that when children interact with MEDi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure，” Beran said. “This means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率)．” Beran said that MEDi robots are also a hit with parents. “Knowing that there is somet hing out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great，” Sheila Sousa, the mother of an 8­year­old patient said.1．MEDi robots are mainly used to ________．A．help foreign patients communicate with doctorsB．assist doctors in completing medical proceduresC．take kids to the hospital if their parents are busyD．make kids feel less pain during medical procedures2．The underlined word “relieve” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．A．cause B．reduceC．increase D．remove3．We can learn from the passage that MEDi ________．A．is bad­lookingB．is one foot tallC．can recognize facesD．can only speak English4．Where does the passage probably come from?A．A travel guide.B．A science magazine.C．A book review.D．A storybook.BEach year about 250，000 Americans study in other countries. Some study­abroad programs are trying harder to get students to learn about the local culture. One student, on his first morning in Beijing, was brought to a distant part of the city. He received money and instructions on how to get back. It took some time but he succeeded.William Finlay heads the Sociology Department at the University of Georgia in the United States. He says challenges like this help students experience another culture.In 2008, Professor Finlay started a program with South Africa's Stellenbosch University. The program combines traditional c lassroom learning with community involvement through a non­governmental organization. He says: “We've been working with a particular non­governmental organization in the town and we do two things: we run a number of creches (托儿所), which are basically day care centers for children whose parents are working, and the library in the community where there are some computers. Our students typically work either with the little kids in the day care centers or they work in the library and teach very basic computer s kills to mostly young adults.”Hillary Kinsey is studying international affairs. She spent three weeks in the Stellenbosch program. She says it was interesting to learn the history of the area and the recent development. When Ms Kinsey returned from South Africa recently, she and other students in the program created a non­profit organization called Ubunto, whose goal is to help improve education and development in South Africa.Mark Lenhart is the executive director of CET Academic Programs. Each year, that company places more than 1，000 students in semester and summer study programs.The programs are in China, Jordan, the Czech Republic and other countries. He says: “In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates.” Students gain from that, he says, but the experience is not always easy. He says：“Not just in terms of language learning, but they also find the local culture can present challenges,and perhaps misunderstandings. They have to adjust to local life. It's no longer OK just to have a little Chinese, for instance. If students are studying Chinese, they want to come home from a program like this fluent in Chinese. And this will enable students to become more employable when they graduate.”5．The student was taken to a distant part of Beijing to ________．A．practice speaking ChineseB．experience Chinese cultureC．learn to use Chinese moneyD．fetch some money and instructions6．What would the students in the Stellenbosch program do?A．They would work in the library as a librarian.B．They would teach basic computer skills to little kids.C．They would take care of little kids in the day care centers.D．They would study computer skills together with young adults in the library.7．From Paragraph 4 we can learn that Hillary Kinsey________．A．is willing to help improve education and development in South AfricaB．knows everything about the history and recent development of South AfricaC．created a non­profit organization to learn more about South Africa's cultureD．created a non­profit organization to improve America's education and development8．Which of the following would Mark Lenhart most probably agree with?A．International students can easily get along well with their local roommates and benefit from this experience.B．It is OK for international students to communicate in simple Chinese with the help of body language.C．Speaking a foreign language fluently makes international students find jobs more easily.D．International students should choose students from the same culture as their roommates.CFor many years, people have been searching for a way to linger longer beneath the sea. Today, we have much more advanced equipment to allow people to stay underwater for long periods of time. Scuba and snuba are two ways that people can “breathe” underwater.Scuba and snuba divers both breathe air from tanks. Tubes from the tank deliver air to the diver's mouthpiece. The difference between these two methods is where the tank is located. A scuba diver carries the tank on his or her back while swimming. By carrying the air supply, the scuba diver swims freely and can go hundreds of feet deep. With snuba, the swimmer does not wear the air tank. Instead, the tank stays on a raft (筏子) on the water's surface. A twenty­foot tube brings the air from the raft tank to the swimmer's mouthpiece. The snuba swimmer can breathe underwater, but he or she is always attached to the raft and can only swim twenty feet deep.A scuba diver has the underwater freedom, but that freedom comes with a cost. Scuba divers carry equipment that weighs 60 to 75 pounds. Learning how to use this equipment requires a lot of training.A diver begins learning how to use the equipment in a pool, then moves on to open water. When a diver is hundreds of feet deep, it is impossible to swim to the surface quickly. Scuba divers must learn what to do in an emergency.Snuba equipment, on the other hand, is very light. The swimmer only needs to wear a mask, the special snuba mouthpiece, a small weight belt, and a harness to connect the airline to the raft. Swimmers can learn snuba quickly. Snuba swimmers are never more than twenty feet deep, so they can easily swim to the surface in an emergency.Because of all the equipment and training, you must be 15 years old in order to scuba dive. Snuba, on the other hand can be done by kids as young as four years old! Snuba is done mainly for fun. Scuba, however, is not done simply for recreation. Scuba divers repair ships and bridges, do underwater research, take photos, and even film movies underwater.9．The tanks used in scuba and snuba diving ________．A．are of different shapesB．contain different thingsC．serve the same purposesD．are always carried by the diver10．It can be inferred from Paragraphs 3－4 that ________．A．scuba diving involves more risks than snubaB．snuba divers seldom practice in open waterC．snuba divers are freer than scuba diversD．scuba diving costs a lot of money11．According to the last paragraph, scuba diving________．A．is done as a professionB．is done mostly for entertainmentC．can be practiced by even small kidsD．is shown in lots of movies12．This text is organized in the pattern of ________．A．time and eventsB．comparison and contrastC．cause and effectD．definition and classificationDScientific discoveries have changed man's life a great deal during the past century.First of all, they have greatly improved material well­being in several areas of life.In the field of medicine, cures for life threatening diseases have enabled people to live longer.In communication, the telephone and e­mail have made it possible for us to communicate with anyone in the world without leaving our homes or offices.Advances in transportation allow businessmen to fly across the ocean in the morning and return home the same evening.Space technology has put men on the moon.More efficient ways of using available resources, such as coal and solar power, have been explored.Scientific discoveries have also changed man's moral atmosphere.Ethical (伦理的) issues are raised by these discoveries.Should we keep a terminally ill person alive through drugs and machines or should we allow him to die in dignity? With advances in transportation has come the problem of pollution for nearly every major city in the world.If cities become uninhabitable, then such technical advances may come with too great a price to pay. Many people also question the wisdom of sending men to the moon when there are urgent problems that have not been solved on earth.During future years, increasing attention must be given to the moral as well as the practical applications of science.13．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Scientific discoveries have only changed man's moral atmosphere.B．Scientific discoveries have only chang ed man's material well­being.C．Scientific discoveries have helped people find efficient ways of using available resources.D．Men are sent to the moon because there are urgent problems that have not been solved on earth.14．At the end of the passage the author says that increasing attention must be given to ________．A．the moral applications of scienceB．the practical applications of scienceC．urgent problems on the earthD．both A and B15．The best title for the passage is ________．A．Science discoveriesB．Science and daily lifeC．Advances in transportationD．City pollutionⅡ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Why People Who Take Notes All the Time AreMore Likely to Be SuccessfulNote­taking is an essential skill in many areas of work and study. But is note­taking really useful in helping us to understand, remember, and retrieve (重新获得) essential points when we most need them? 16.________ Here are four reasons note­takers are on the fast track to success：17．________ The action of writing information down is a great way to get fully involved in the learning process. Note­takers are much more actively involved because they are processing the information and getting the essential facts down.They understand the importance of remembering the information. Students need to remember all relevant information when faced with an exam question. A speaker may not have their notes at hand but will still have a better chance of actually remembering the facts if they have spared the time to prepare notes. 18.________ Howe in 1970 found that students who had taken notes were seven times more likely to remember facts a week later than those who had not.They do not rely on getting others' notes. Lots of students love asking the lecturers for a copy of their notes and with PowerPoint and other software, this can be easily done. 19.________ These students are not going to be very successful in school if they do this all the time.They know that taking notes helps them achieve their goals. 20.________ There are quite a few studies not showing that the actual process of taking notes helps people to boost (推动) their learning and also achieve their goals. Researchers at the Dominican University of California have discovered that writing down goals and sharing them are crucial (至关重要的) in helping people to achieve their aims.A．Research backs this up.B．They are actively learning.C．This is no accident or coincidence.D．They know how to prepare for note­taking.E．But the results for the students are not very good.F．Naturally, it does depend a lot on the subject matter.G．The answer is yes, although individual styles and methods may vary.Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Jack London (1876－1916) was an American writer and author of The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and numerous other novels.Financial difficulties __21__ Jack London to leave grammar school and find work to __22__ hisfamily.

In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces, some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.Ⅵ.书面表达(满分25分)请依据下面的表格以100词左右的英文短文介绍史蒂芬·威廉·霍金(Stephen William Hawking)。

It does this by “feedback”.Information about what is happening is “feedback” into the robot to tell it what to do next.Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell uswhat is going on around us. Robots are like p eople in two ways. They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better than people. They work quickly, but do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very us eful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brains must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arm” and “hand” through each partof the job.The most “intelligent” robots can move and see.Their eyes are cameras. Their metal fingers can feel shapes and even find out how hot and cold objects are. These robots have computer brains,linked to their eyes and fingers,which control their actions.The expensive robots are used in scientific research. They do job such as handling radioactive materials.56. In this story we are told that ______.A. we get feedback through our eyes and earsB. we get feedback through the robotsC. robots are not intelligent because of the feedbackD. only robots get feedback57. What does the author seem to inform you about robots?A. They should be greatly improved.B. They will probably take over in the future.C. They are very helpful and useful to humans.D.

The underlined sentence in the brief introduction to the novel LOVE STORY means ______.A. they are the same in every wayB. they are quite different from each other in most aspectsC. they have a lot in commonD. they are attracted by each other（C）If you grow old in Japan, you will expect to be served foodby a robot, ride a voice recognition wheelchair or even possiblyhire a nurse in a robotic suit —all examples of cutting-edgetechnology to care for the country’s rapidly graying populat ion.With nearly 22 percent of Japan’s population already aged65 or older, businesses here have been producing everything from easy-entry cars to remote controlled beds,fueling a care technology market worth some $1．08 billion in 2006,according to industry figures.At a home care and rehabilitation meeting in Tokyo, buyers crowded round a demonstration of Secom Co’s My Spoon feeding robot,which helps elderly or disabled people eat with a spoon-and-fork-fitted swiveling （转动的）arm. Operating a joystick（操纵杆）with his chin, developer Shigehisa Kobayashi maneuvered the arm toward a block of soft tofu, deftly（灵巧地) getting the fork to break off a bite-sized piece．The arm then returned to a preprogrammed position in front of his mouth, allowing Kobayashi to bite and swallow.“It is all about allowing people to help themselves,” Kobayashi said．The Tokyo-based company has already sold 300 of the robots,which come with a price tag of $3,500. “We want to give the elderly control over their own lives,” he said.The rapidly aging population here has caused many concerns: a laborshortage, tax shortfalls and financial difficulties in paying the health bills and pensions of large numbers of the elderly. Moreover,a breakdown of family ties in recent years means a growing number of older Japanese are spending their golden years away from the care traditionally provided by children and grandchildren. That’s where cutting-edge technology steps in.64. Shigehisa Kobayashi is the name of ______.A. an elderly patientB. a robotC. the developer of the robotD. the head of a company65. The underlined word “maneuver” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. move skillfullyB. turn carefullyC. lift with effortD. fix quickly66. My Spoon feeding robot is specially designed for ______.A. those aged 65 or olderB. those who have difficulty in feeding themselvesC. those who lost the ability of eatingD. those who can’t move their arms freely67. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. the cutting-edge technology makes it easier for the young and old in Japan to keep tiesB. the cutting-edge technology has changed the traditional family system in JapanC. the elderly in Japan usually live far away from their children and grandchildrenD. the rapidly aging population in Japan has caused many social problems（D）Started in 1636,Harvard University is the oldest of all thecolleges and universities in the United States. Yale,Princeton,Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782,Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later,lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1825,besides Latin and Greek,Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German.

Do you imagine armies of evil metal monsters planning to take over the world? Or, perhaps of mechanical men who have been created as guards or soldiers by a mad genius? Or maybe you think of man-like robots who act,think, and look like human beings. In fact robots like these have more to do with science fiction films than with real life. In the real world,robots are machines that do jobs which otherwise have to be done by people. Robots eith er operate by themselves or under the control of a person.In a car factory, for example, robot machinery can put together and paint car bodies. On the sea bed remotecontrolled（遥控）underwater machines with mechanical arms can perform tasks too difficult for divers. Robot spacecraft can explore the solar system and send back information about planets and stars.Many robots have computer brains. Some robots are fitted with cam eras, sensors, and microphones which enable them to see,to feel, and to hear. And some robots can even produce electronic speech.All this does not mean that a robot can think and behave like a human being. Present day robots have to be programmed wi th a good deal of information before they can carry out even simple tasks.73. According to this article, which of the following is NOT true about robots in the real world?A. Some robots are as creative as artists.B. Some robots can help manufacture cars.C. Some robots can see and hear.D. Some robots can explore outer space.74. Robots can perform many tasks for man because ______.A. they have intelligenceB. they are supplied with computer programsC. they can imitate human beingsD. they have the ability to learn new things75. The robots in science fiction films and those in real life differ mainly in ______.A. thinkingB. appearanceC. materialD. size第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）Ⅴ. 书面表达（共1题；满分35分）请你写一篇短文介绍自己买的机器人，内容要点如下：1．看起来像真人一样；2．可以帮助做许多事情：做家务、做饭、帮儿子做作业，陪主人外出购物等；3．你的担心：出了毛病不听指令，伤害儿子；4．对未来的展望。

AAt the end of every year, Time picks the best 25 inventions that are “making the world better and smarter〞. Here we have picked three inventions that could be a part of your life in the near future.The levitating (悬浮的) light bulbThis special light bulb was invented by U．S. artist and scientist Simon Morris. He got the idea of making a light bulb float from hoverboards (悬浮滑板), which he used to dream of having as a kid.But the floating is not the most amazing part. The rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets (磁铁), which were put in the bottom of the bulb and in the wooden base, does the job. What's new here is a technology called induction (电磁感应). It allows the light bulb to get power from the base even they are not in contact.Shoes that tie themselvesThey're not what you think — shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them. Instead, the new shoes have small motors that control their laces. When you step in them, your feet will hit a sensor (传感器) in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces.But the shoes weren't just designed for lazy people's needs. They could actually give athletes an advantage during competition. They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily.The no­touch thermometer (体温计)Taking your body temperature usually means putting a thermometer in your armpits (腋窝) and staying still for minutes. It may be easy for you, but it's an impossible task for little kids.Now, with the new thermometer, users can simply put it 2.5 centimeters from apatient's forehead and press the button, and it can get reading in two seconds.语篇解读：每到年终岁尾，《时代周刊》都会评选出25项“让世界变得更加美好和智能的〞最优发明。
