Gordon, the “barista”(咖啡师) at San Francisco's Cafe X, will not greet you by your name or wish you a (1) day. Why? Because Gordon is not a human (2) a robot. It can make the perfect cup of coffee. The owner of this special coffee shop is Henry Hu. Hu noticed that human baristas spent a lot of(3) moving cups around while making drinks. So he decided(4) a fully mechanized(机械化的) coffee shop. And this is why Cafe X was born.Now, Cafe X is getting more and more (5) . Customers can order their drinks (6) using the computers in Cafe X. What's more, they can also do that by using an app on the phone. When the order is placed, Gordon gets to work to make coffee. When the drink is ready, the customer receives a message with a code(密码). After entering it (7) ，the robot will hand over the coffee.Another reason why people prefer Cafe X is that they can get their drinks in a shorter time, about eight (8) .

Henry Hu says Cafe X is trying its best to provide customers with the greatestcoffee in the shortest time.Henry is not the only person who makes robots work for humans. In San Francisco, the robots (10) people create bowls, too. While at another restaurant Zume Pizza, the robots are used to make pies.二、阅读理解The first robot was invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans. Robots also help disabled people, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner's walk. The owner wears a special belt. The belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here” “Turn left” or “Turn right”．In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner's voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”．Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients' rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.11．From the passage, we know robots cannot be .A．dangerous animals B．factory workersC．guide dogs D．hospital helpers12．A robot guide dog .A．goes in front of blind peopleB．walk side by side with blind peopleC．has a map in its headD．helps patients with their meals13．Some disabled people need robots' help to .A．take care of themselves B．talk to other peopleC．become scientists D．do dangerous jobs14．In the passage, the writer wants to tell us that .A．robots are stronger and cleverer than humansB．disabled people cannot look after themselves without robotsC．robots will take the place of humans some day in the futureD．robots can help humans in many different ways参考答案一、1.pleasant 2.but 3.time 4.to build 5.popular 6.by7.correctly8.minutes9.sent10.help二、11～14 AAAD。

Reading ComprehensionA. Choose the best answerIn the 1850s, a vast wilderness（荒野）separated California from the eastern U. S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow.William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri（密苏里）, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations（中继站）every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks（风险）from extreme weather, hostile（敌对）Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years’ in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U. S. was completed. Yet the riders’ courage and accomplishments（成就）still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kanas（堪萨斯州）. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided meals for people who were travelling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons（货车）for weary travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark. For a few dollars, you can tour the site. In a nearby visitor center, there is also a small gift shop and a theater where you can see films about the station.69. William Russell and his partners started the new service to _______.A. hire some workers to raise the horses they had purchasedB. challenge the risks like extreme weather and riding accidentsC. make their mail delivery famous and expand it to other countries.D. speed up the mail service so that it could become much faster70. The Pony Express, managed by Russell and his partners, _______.A. lasted for nearly 1.5 yearsB. never lost any deliveryC. set up relay stations every 15 milesD. began in October, 186171. What the riders did was _______. Which of the following adjectives is not so appropriate（合适的）to complete the sentence?A. dangerousB. usefulC. unforgettableD. exciting72. Gerat Hollenberg and his wife would _______.A. sell supplies to the touristsB. repair wagons for tired travelersC. rent out rooms if travelers neededD. do all of the above73. Since the 1860s , the Hollenberg Station has become_______.A. a center of researchB. a tourist attractionC. a set for moviesD. a social club74. The best title of the passage should be _______.A. Mail service to CaliforniaB. The Pony ExpressC. Horese at the Pony Express stationsD. The business run by HollenbergB. Choose the words or expressions to complete the passageA team of students who were successful in their work got together to visit their old teacher after graduating from college may years later. The talk soon turned into complaints about __75__ in work and life.Before offering his students coffee, the teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and different kinds of cups - plastic, glass, porcelain（陶瓷）, crystal, some common and cheap, some beautiful and __76__ - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.After all the guests had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said: “If you noticed, all the nice -looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is __77__ for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is where your problems and stress come from. We all know that the cup itself __78__ no quality to the coffee. In most case, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,but you all went for the best cups. And then you began looking at each other’s cups.”Now consider this: Life is the coffee: the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life, and the type of cup we have does not decide, __79__ change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by only paying attention to the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. God makes the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!“The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just_______ the best of everything.” Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.75. A. stress B. difficulty C. sadness D. loss76. A. excellent B. bright C. expensive D. comfortable77. A. careful B. natural C. polite D. formal78. A. increases B. affords C. adds D. provides79.

Just send Gates’ email message to everyone you know, and you can get your prize money. Does this sound too good to be true? This offer from Gates is a hoax(骗局). In fact, anyone with common knowledge in computers could tell whether it is true. But that hasn’t stopped the hoax from spreading across the Internet like wildlife. Millions of Internet users have sent this untrue message.The Internet is full of hoaxes, lies and wrong information. They are passed through e-mails, discussion groups and official-looking websites. Although most of them have been made known to the public what they are, it’s still hard to kill a “good hoax”. Most Internet hoaxes are similar. They often meet the needs of basic human feelings, like fear, greed or pity for others. Most importantly, they often sound as if they could be possible.If you’ve ever been fooled by a hoax, you are certainly not alone. Several famous newspapers have reported information they got online, only to later learn it was only a hoax. Even public official can something be fooled. The city officials in California learned from a website that Styrofoam(塑料泡沫) cups are made with a dangerous chemical, so they ordered that the cups should not be produced. They felt foolish, however, when they learned that chemical’s common name—water. Another hoax caused fear in Hong Kong. A website with the name of a famous newspaper reported that the government planned to order local people to stay in their homes for the reason of unknown disease. As a result, worried people crowded the supermarket to buy daily products. Financial markets began to fall, too.It’s sometimes hard to know what’s real and what’s not. Use the Internet, but don’t believe everything you read online.88. Can you get your prize money if you send Gates’ email message to everyone you know?89. How is the wrong information on the Internet passed?90. Why is it still hard to kill the Internet hoaxes?91. What did the city officials in California do after they learned the hoax?92.

Itchanged the way the language was taught and helped raise literacy rates(识字率). “We spent three years developing Pinyin. People made fun of us, joking that it had taken us a long time to deal with just 26 letters,” he told the BBC in 2012. He is the man who helped simplify Chinese.Before Pinyin was developed, 85% of Chinese people could not read, now almost all can. It is also widely used to type Chinese characters on computers and smart phones.

That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world－and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing－it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest－I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real－and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!38. In which country was the first Laughter Club started?A. Britain.B. America.C. Australia.D. India.39. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?A. Surprised.B. Pleased.C. Nervous.D. Stressful.40. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?A. After a few minutes.B. After a few hours.C. After a few seconds.D. After a few days.41. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.B. 40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.C. Adults laugh more often than children in a day.D. Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.DEnglish means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter(灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles(肌肉).The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited beforemastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings su ggest that the structure of the brain is changed by theexperience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的),”he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.42. Who can study a second language easier?A. The adults.B. The women .C. The old.D. The children.43. What will change more when a person studies a second language?A. Mental system.B. Muscles.C. Grey matter density.D. The appearance.44. What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?A. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language.B. Learning a second language is the same as studying maths.C. Y ou’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language.D. Early learning of a second language helps you a lot in studying other subjects.45. What’s the main subject talked about in this passage?A. Language can help brain power.B. Language learning and maths study.C. Science on learning a second language.D. M an’s ability of learning a second language.第二部分非选择题（共60分）四、词汇运用A. 根据句意和汉语提示写出单词，完成句子。

AFor centuries, the body’s blood has been connected closely with the feelings. People who show no human emotions or feelings are said to be cold-blooded. Here are some related expressions.Cold can affect other parts of the body. But the expression “get cold feet” hasnothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to dosomething you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be CEO of a company.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned (辞职), and all the workof the company will be your responsibility(责任). You are likely to get cold feetabout being CEO when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from thephysical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face toface. You may give the cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise (遵守诺言) he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.“A cold fish” is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly,unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much ofhimself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. He or she willnever feel sorry for those in bad situation.“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else got. Aperson might say that everybody but him got a pay raise— he was left out in thecold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.1. If you “get cold feet”, it means ________.A. your feet are very coldB. you offer much of yourself to anyoneC. you are afraid to do something you have decided to doD. you miss something that everybody else got2. You may think of an unfriendly person as ________.A. the cold feetB. a cold fishC. the cold shoulderD. being out in the cold3. What’s the passage mainly about?A. Ways of making friends.B. Advice on keeping warm.C. Opinions about cold-hearted people.D. Expressions connected with cold.BChina covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.4. In southern China, people usually buy _________ at a time.A. a small amount of foodB. a large amount of foodC. enough food for a weekD. a lot of meat and vegetables5. If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _________.A. peel and cut them for youB. laugh at youC. only sell them in boxes and basketsD. only sell a single apple or pear6. The underlined phrase "due to" means "_________" in Chinese.A. 所以B. 但是C. 然而D. 因为7. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Different Weather in ChinaB. Different Living Habits in ChinaC. Southern Chinese and Northern ChineseD. Southern China and Northern ChinaCIn today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are ＂I love you＂. But can love be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money？The answer is ＂No＂.Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.8. According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right？A. Money is everything.B. Money isn’t necessary.C. Money is important, but not the most important.D. With no money, with no success.9. Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A. If you haven’t much money, you can’t get more happiness.B. You may live a long life even if you are poor.C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.D. If you are rich, you will have less friendship.10. In fact, all millionaires _________.A. have less moneyB. die earlierC. hate their moneyD. have true love11. What does the underlined sentence＂Love means to give, not to take.＂mean in the passage？A. 爱意味着给你，而不能带走。

It has a population of just over eight million. The capital is Port Moresby. The country became independent from Australia in 1975. There are over 800 languages in Papua New Guinea. That's more languages than in any other country in the world.Papua New Guinea is a land of mountains and rainforests. Most communities have little contact with each other or with the outside world. It's for this reason that so many different languages have developed.The official (官方的) languages of Papua New Guinea are Tok Pisin, English and Hiri Motu. Although English is an official language, it is only spoken as a first language by a small percentage of the population.Tok Pisin is spoken by most people. It is an English-based creole. The word “tok” comes from the English word for “talk” and means “word” or “speech”.“Pisin” means “pidgin”. A pidgin language is one which is a mixture of two other languages, while a creole is a pidgin language that has become the mother language of a community.

Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks (轨道). The color red was used to mean “stop” because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red “stop” light ahead and had enough time to s low down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean “take care” and a white light meant “go”.However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that me ant “go”. So the signals were swapped. The “go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white.During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.19．Why was the color red used to mean “stop”A．It reminded people of traffic rules.B．It helped trains run smoothly.C．It gave people a warning of danger.D．It was the first color people thought of.20．What does the underlined word “swapped” in Paragraph 3 meanA．Designed.

There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter.Third, what about giving young people something to do Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do.This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the parkFinally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.23．Some people want to change the park into __________.A．a golf club B．a golf course C．a park D．a skating place24．According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some childrenA．go to get some exercise B．fall in love with golfC．play video games at home D．go to the street and make friends25．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage(P=Paragraph)A．B．C．D．26．What is the writer's purpose in writing this passageA．To help carry out further plans.B．To make the park more beautiful.C．To encourage children to go skating.D．To stop the golf course from being built.【答案】23．B24．C25．D26．DAI(人工智能)makes our lives easier and better.

The girl thought for a moment, and then took a knife and cut off one of her fingers. With it, she opened the front door and went inside. On a table, there were seven plates and seven cups. She ate and drank a little from each of them. In the last cup, she accidently dropped a ring that her parents had given her.Later hat day, the ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched. When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. The raven recognized it at once—it washis parents' ring.

It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park?Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea.
