Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. Fo r each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information give n in the passage you have just read.(A)In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back. Now science fiction has b ecome science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists fro m Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.Until now, even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its co mputer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors an d two sensors (传感器)that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary* It may someda y help scientists create better artificial arras and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scie ntists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well wh en the environment changes or when it,s damaged,” says Olaf Spoms of Indiana University in US. “W ith this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”61.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged ?A. They cannot repair themselves.B. The computer has changed a lot.C. They have no computers inside.D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.62. The new technology allows the robot to _.A.do house work for humansB.keep working after being damagedC.remember a lot of informationD.tell people where it is63. The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 5 refers to .A. sensorsB. robotsC. arms and legsD. scientists64. How do the sensors in the robol work?A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.B. They can find out where the damage comes from.C.Wake up late,have a big breakfast and then wander down to the beach for the first swim of the day.A round of golf,a few co cktails and then dinner on one's yacht at sunset.You might think this is how the wealthy picture the autumn of their lives but in B ritain it seems that this is not the case.A n ew survey that almost 60% of wealthy people in the UKdon't want to quit working even when they pass the retirement age of 65.The organization Barclays Wealth interviewed 2,000 people, defining 'wealthy' as those over £1 million (10 million yuan) to invest It found that more people in the UK are avoiding the tr aditional concept of retirement than in any of the 19 other dev eloped countries surveyed.Not everybody wants to spend the autumn of their lives at l eisure. The group even has a nickname; those who never wa nt to be retirees are called “nevertirees” in the survey.And their number is likely to grow over the coming years wit h 70% of people under the age of 45 in the study, indicating th at even a golden handshake will not be enough to make them hang up their boots.“While m previous generations there have always been an energetic few with the health and drive (to keep working), ma ny looked to create their wealth early on in life with a view to e njoying it when they retired/* said Greg Davies at Barclays W ealth.“This report reflects a different attitude, with wealthy individ uals wanting to continue to challenge themselves well beyondthe traditional retirement age.” he added.The survey was reported in many newspapers in Britain and it found its critics. “There's no point in working till you drop,” sai d Iain from Norwich, on the Daily Mail website. “Work to live, n ot live to work.”Sarah Harper, Professor of at the University of Oxford, disa grees. She says: “People want to contribute; they want to be doing something. Work gives people status, and at an age wh en you're incredibly experienced you may want to start a seco nd career or even do something completely different from you r previous professional life.”The survey raises an interesting question. What is it that re ally motivates us to work? Is it fear of poverty? Or just fear of boredom?68. We can learn from the survey conducted by Barclays Wea lth that .A. less than half of the rich British people desire to enjoy retire ment life when they are 65.B. most of the middle-aged people in Britain can't afford to retire.C. each of the 2,000 people interviewed has more than 1 billio n pounds to invest.D. the UK has the largest number of people in the world that p refer early retirement69. What does the underlined phrase “hang up their boots” in Paragraphs probably mean?A.Lead a busy but meaningful life.B. Step down from their posts.C. Create their wealth.D. Develop hobbies in spare time.70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.A commentator said in the Daily Mail that people should wo rk till they die.B. people postpone retirement because they want to achieve a greater fame.C.The previous generations tried to become rich when they w ere younger.D. 70% of the people under 45 have no intention to go on holi days after retirement.71. Which of the following might be the best title of the passag e?A. UK rich don't want to retire.B.A new nickname was invented.C. Fear of poverty and boredom.D. British people's changing attitude towards life.Section C (8')Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be us ed only once. Note that there are two more sentences than yo u need.A. Within seconds I assisted in the formation of a three-level tower.B. Each team is famous for its tallest and most complex tower of people.C. Once a tower is built, try and see if the group can hold it for a count of 30.D. Since then it's been popular, with groups competing to buil d higher structures.E. Before long I was called forward and given the great honor of the President s Belt.F. I hoped to change my position because I knew that this acti vity required particular skills.The Tower and the GloryA large man jumps onto my shoulders. He is quickly followe d by another slightly smaller man who catches my belt and m oves Up. Another follows. Then I begin to move slowly from o ne sideto another dangerously.A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals in S pain, The activity of making human towers began almost 200 years ago near Tarragona, just south of Barcelona. (72) .It h as become an annual event in some areas of the country. U sually it is considered a success once all castellers have clim bed into their appointed places. On November 16,2010, castel ls were declared to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral an d Intangible Heritage of Humanity.Building a good human tower takes team work and skills. It is a formation of several people in which two or more p&ople support a level of higher people, who in turn may support othe r higher levels of people. Each person is wound into a long na rrow piece of cloth worn around the waist to help other people hold tightly when they climb. Typically, the number of the peo ple in each level is one greater than the level immediately above it, resulting In a triangular structure.

It was she who had pride of place on top of the to wer.For my first try-out I was given the role of second hands. Once I had assume d my position,people began to climb up me to the tower Witho ut warning.

We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret.We`re often tempted to "spill the beans", even if we regret it later.According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well "become a burden". This is because people often have an "obsessive(无法摆脱的)and anxious urge to share it with someone".An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all?Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. "Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone," according to Shah. He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secretmay cause them stress, and make them talk about thesecret.Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give theinformation away. Shah also recommended that if youaccidentally give up someone's secret you should comeclean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore.8.(1) The underlined phrase "spill the bean" is closestin meaning to___________.A . let out a secretB . tell the truthC . eat our wordsD . take gossip9.(2) A person who is entrusted with asecret__________.A . is often obsessed with a certain threatB . often would rather not have been told about itC . usually has a strong desire to keep it until deathD . may suffer from physical or psychological problems10.(3) What's the best title for the passage?A . Walls have ears.B . Still tongues make wise heads.C . A word spoken is past recalling.D . Every wall has a crack.五、任务型阅读(4`)7. Directions: Read the following passage and fill in eachblank with a proper sentence given in the box. Eachsentence can be used only once. Note that there are twomore sentences than you need."Any apples today?" Effie asked cheerfully at my window. I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course. Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then. ________ All pretense (借口) of payment was dropped when our funds, food and funds decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities. ________Effie was not a rich woman. Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop. had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer.Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. "Here, darling," I said, "is what l owe you."________"Give it back as I gave it to you--a little at a time." I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt. The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount toEffie, for she died a few weeks later. By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times. But a curious thing began to happen.Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can't afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie's death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.________ At that time, it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled. So the account can never be marked closed. for Effie's love will go on in hearts that have never known her.A. Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife's trip to New York for consultation with a specialist.B. Give your help to those in greater need.C. The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on.D. Effie work diligently all her life.E. "Pay me whenever you like," said Effie, climbing back into her truck.F. "Don't give it to me all at once," she said.六、语法填空Verb filling8. We really regret________ (say) that you are wrong.9.

Thanks to the efforts of Assembly member Dr. Shirley Weber, the state sold the land near the Center’s main campus. Now the Center, which is the oldest children’s nonprofit(非营利的机构) in the region, will be able to provide more treatment and educational foster care(看护) to kids and families who need it most.Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) received a $10,000 grant from the USS Midway Foundation to support its Hand Up Food Pantry(食品贮藏室). “Jewish Family Service works every day to help struggling families and individuals in San Diego move forward and build more stable, secure lives,” says JFS CEO Michael Hopkins.St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center raised more than $16,000 at its Swing with Santa Golf Tournament(锦标赛). The funds will go toward programs for adults with developmental disabilities. The 5th annual tournament included 18 hotels, food and drinks, and two celebrity appearances: both Santa and Elvis made a dramatic entrance via helicopter.Coming Up: Raise money for the 4SRanch-Del Sur Community Foundation and Helen’s Closet (壁橱,衣帽间) at the 9th Annual Thank You Run on Thanksgiving Day, November 22. Helen’s Closet serves patients with ALS. The distance is 5K wit h a 1K Fun Run for children aged 8 and under.6. What’s just happened to the San Diego Center for Children?A. Its campus has grown in size.B. Dr. Shirley Weber has become a member.C. It has built a campus at Linda Vista.D. It has started providing foster care.7. Which non-profit focuses on the disabled?A. The San Diego Center for ChildrenB. Jewish Family Service of San DiegoC. St. Madeleine Sophie’s CenterD. The USS Midway Foundation8. What should children who want to raise money attend?A. Jewish Family Service of San DiegoB. The 9th Annual Thank You RunC. 4SRanch-Del Sur Community FoundationD. The San Diego Center for ChildrenBIf you cannot afford to travel in any class above economy, flying generally sucks, either a little or a lot, depending on your tolerance level. But it especially sucks if you are too wide for the airline’s design.Just getting to your seat can be a challenge, as your hips(臀部,髋) bounce from seat to seat on each side of the aisle(过道). If someone is standing up to put things in the overhead locker, there is a decision to be made about whether it’s worth trying to squeeze past. Everything is just slightly too small: the seats, the overhead lockers, even the bathrooms – and those, it seems, are getting even smaller.The Washington Post recently reported that, on some newer planes flown by American, Delta and United airlines, the bathrooms in economy class are just 61cm wide: about 25cm narrower than the average portable toilet, and roughly the width of the average dishwasher. Your face might be the only thing you can poke in there comfortably – which makes it a poor design, considering what a passenger is likely to need the bathroom for.According to the manufacturer, these “Advanced Spacewell” bathrooms make space for six additional passengers, which is great for the airlines’ financial bottom line. But what about theother bottom line? Concerning, well, bottoms that can’t fit into their planes’ bathrooms?As bodies get bigger and aeroplane spaces get smaller, the wide among us have come up with solutions. Armrests that turn us into sausages(香肠) can be pulled up, or slowly encased(围住,包起) into the soft flesh of our sides until we go numb(麻木). We can ask the flight attendant to get us a seat-belt extender, if security has confiscated the one we brought with us, as can sometimes happen. But squeezing into a tiny toilet and closing the door behind us? Not workable.Unlike the impossible task of squeezing down the aisle to your seat, or the side-to-side dance necessary to get big hips past the armrests, fitting into a space just 61cm wide is not just a challenge – it is almost impossible. It is not like missing out on an option for the in-flight meal – a bathroom is as essential as a safety-compliant seat belt, or the air that is pumped in to the cabin(飞机舱). If airlines are not willing to make space for us, bigger passengers may have no option but to reconsider booking a flight at all.9. What is the advantage of the new toilets?A. More passengers can use them.B. The airlines can increase their profits.C. They are more comfortable.D. They are practical and convenient.10. What does the underlined word ‘confiscated’ mean?A. providedB. questionedC. checkedD. taken11. What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?A. Fat people can deal with many problems they face on planes.B. Flight attendants are likely to be helpful when asked for assistance.C. Flying is pleasant for overweight people at present.D. People’s bodies are getting bigger year by year.12. The writer believes that bigger passengers __________.A. will have to find more creative solutions in the futureB. should grasp the chance to lose weight before flyingC. should miss out on the option for the in-flight mealD. might be unable to travel by air in the futureCDistance, just like currency, becomes incomprehensible when it reaches large quantities.So, when outdoor enthusiast and Midwest Mountaineering employee Elizabeth John says she only hiked the nearly 500 miles of the Colorado Trail over a period of six weeks, don’t let her fool you. That’s like walking from St. Paul to St. Louis—give or take a few dozen miles—plus thousands upon thousands of feet of altitude.“I’m a gardener, I’m a busy-hands person, but busy feet are just as good,” she explains. “I don’t meditate, but maybe that’s the way I think about it—walking as a way to relax.”John took childhood hikes in the Boundary Waters and caught her case of busy feet while hiking in Alaska as a teenager. With a background in paddling, mountaineering, and backpacking, she found long-distance hiking rewarding, though exhausting.Since then, thru-hiking—hiking a long-distance trail(考验,试验) end-to-end in one hiking season—has gotten friendlier to beginners. John has given up 60-pound packs in favor of a lighter modern backpacking equipment. For her 50th birthday, she deci ded to fly to Spain and walk close to 500 miles of the Camino de Santiago. The Colorado jaunt, her first solo long-distance hike, followed a few years later in 2017.“Going on a big walk is unreasonable and includes being uncomfortable, wet, hungry, sore, tired, lonely...it’s challenging,” she says. “It’s a leap of faith. But I found the rewards surprising and unexpected, some even waiting for me at home after the trip. There is a rhythm to walking, a physicality and simplicity...a discovery.”Logging some 4,000 feet of elevation daily, John met many “trail angels” who provided shade, snacks, and sometimes beer at remote points in the wilderness, purely out of the goodness of their hearts. “You’re so excited, because you’re someplace so incredible, and it wasn’t easy to get there,” she says. “There was this mo ment when you love humanity, a nd you’re so proud of people for doing it.”13. What did Elizabeth John do as a child?A. She often worked in her garden.B. She enjoyed swimming in the wild.C. She got interested in hiking.D. She was too busy to use her feet.14. What is special about thru-hiking?A. Hikers usually take light equipment.B. The hike is done at great speed.C. The hike consists of one very long journey.D. It is extremely friendly to beginners.15. When John walked the Camino de Santiago, she ________.A. was not experienced in hikingB. was accompanied by othersC. was in her 40sD. carried a heavy pack16. What may trail angels do?A. Give hikers a lift down the mountain .B. Guide hikers to some remote points.C. Share their hearts with passing hikers.D. Prepare some gifts for hikers.DOwen Williams and his wife befriended their eighty-year-old neighbor, Ken Watson, when they moved into their home in Wales three years ago. When their daughter, Cadi, was born a year later, Watson became a grandfather figure, taking the time to drop off Christmas presents for the child. Watson died in October.On Monday, Watson’s daughter stopped by the Williams home with a large bag containing 14 wrapped Christmas presents her father had bought and wrapped for Cadi.Williams posted notes about what happened on Twitter to spread some Christmas spirit. He wrote th at he wasn’t sure whether he should give his daughter all the presents now, or hold onto them and give her one a year. Twitter responded in a big way, with many saying the story brought them to tears. So many people weighed in about the gifts, in fact, that Williams made a Twitter poll. So far, more than 55,000 people have voted on how he should distribute the gifts.Williams, who is a social-media consultant, said the majority of people are voting for giving Cadi one present a year. He said he has no idea what is in the packages, but he’s leaning toward listening to the will of the voters.“I think we’re going to turn it into a Christmas story for our daughter,” he said. “We’ll do one a year for the next 14 years. It feels like the right thing to do now. If she opens a box of Lego when she’s 16 then so be it.”He said he was struck by how many people have responded by saying their neighbors are virtual strangers to them.“The thing that stands out to me is how few people know their neighbors,” Williams said. “People are saying, ‘That’s so lovely. I don’t even know my neighbors.’ … This Christmas, take your neighbors a bottle of wine or a small gift, a token. Just say, ‘Hi.’ You can open a new world like we did.”17.
