Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but have you ever imagined we would have robotic pets instead of real animals in the future?
Jean-Loup Rault, PhD, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes robot companions (伴侣) are going to be our new pets.
There are a lot of benefits (好处) for a robotic pet. “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on holidays without feelin g bad,” Rault said.
It’s no t clear whether or not robot pets would be completely instead of real ones. When a Japanese robot seal called Paro was introduced to to hospital patients, it helped improve their moods (心情) and build social relationship.
However, robotic pets may affect (影响) our attitudes (态度) towards living animals. “If we get used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercise, perhaps it will change ho w humans care about other living beings,” Rault said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault says? Maybe for future pet owners who are so closely tied to technology.
( )59. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of a robotic pet?
A. You don’t need to take it out for a walk.
B. You don’t need to prepare food for it.
C. It can communicate with you very well.
D. It won’t make your house a mess.
( )60. What does the underlined word “their” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. The patients’.
B. The robot experts’.
C. The robot pets’.
D. The animal pets’. ( )61. Where can we find this passage?
A. In a newspaper.
B. In a science book.
C. In a novel (小说).
D. In an animal poster.
C
The most popular television actor in China is not Chinese. He is a South Korean
actor named Kim SooHyun (金秀贤) who stars in the TV play My love from the Star (<<来自星星的你>>).
The TV play is a part of the South Korean Wave (韩流) of cultural imports to China, which includes music and fashion. South Korean “cool” influences the clothes people wear, their hairstyles and even the food they eat. The favorite food in the show is fried chicken and beer, and as a result, young Chinese have been getting into the South Korean restaurants.
Although it is a small country with less than 50 million people, South Korea now has great influence (影响) on other countries. This influence is called “sof t power” and it is a way for a country to make friends.
Because of t his “soft power”, more people are interested in South Korea and in studying the Korean language. At my school, a foreign languages school, more students are studying Korean than Japanese. And some of the students plan on surfing the South Korean Wave all the way to university in Korea.
( )62. The underlined word “imports”probably means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 输入
B. 输出
C. 变化
D. 传承

Chinese.

D. The most popular television actor in China is a South Korean but not a
Chinese.
( )64. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. More young Chinese will be interested in South Korea.
B. More South Korean people will come to China soon.
C. Foreign languages school will be more popular in China.
D. We can make more friends in South Korea now.

There is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It’s Mr. Webster’s. Few people went to the bar last year, but things are quite different now.

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is in a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
How does this happen? First we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog so the rain water was clean.
Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals（化学品）in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects（昆虫）. There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rain water picks up all the chemicals from homes and businesses and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.
Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas（油和气体）from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rain water going into it. Clean rain water is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.
51. In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by_______.
A. forests
B. rain
C. birds
D. fish。
