This is a story of a repair robot R-62.One day, a car came to the repair factory and a human stepped out of the car.“Wow, a human! I have never seen a real one,” said R-62.“Humans are quite clever. They’re able to do any action they want to. They’re even able to harm other human beings or organize wars, which they have been doing a lot in the history. Also they don’t even have to follow orders if they don’t want to,” said another robot T-59 quietly to R-62.“How terrible it is! And almost all robots seem afraid of him and don’t look at him directly,” said R-62.The human then sat down and asked if there had been any problems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer, “No, sir.”Then suddenly, R-62 said loudly, “I have one question for you.”The human said, “Yes”, a bit unhappy for not getting “sir”.“Why do human create so many robots?” asked R-62.Silence followed the question and he then said, “I don’t need to answer questions from robots!” He then went into his car and drove away quickly.“I really don’t understand why humans replaced (取代)themselves with robots,” asked R-62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced(先进的) than humans. They created us to support themselves,” answered T-59.“But there are so few humans on Earth. What they should do is take away the robots or at least make them sto p doing the work which humans are supposed to do,” said R-62.“I agree. But we can do nothing about it. And now we have to finish repairing this car,” said T-59.“All right, let’s continue.”21. In T-59’s opinion, humans are .A. smartB. politeC. dangerousD. stupid22.

What’s R-62’s attitude towards humans’ creating robots?A. Frightened.B. Excited.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.BDream-of-Jade: The Emperor’s Catby Lloyd Alexander Illustrated by D.

When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.28．In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.A. how to get along well with othersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant29．“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there’ll be more problems with learningD. there’ll be no problems at all with learning3O．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.31．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teachin g.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies. DA small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on manne life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking t old Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.32. What was Rebecca Hosking?A. A lawyer.B. An environmentalist.C. A sailor.D. A photographer.33.The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probab ly means .A. acceptableB. valuableC. throw-awayD. long-lasting34 It can be inferred from the passage that .A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the worldD. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags35. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Environmental ProtectionB. Big Cities Banning Plastic BagsC. Effect of Plastic Fags on Sea AnimalsD. British Town Banning Plastic Bags第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高中英语真题：中学2015-2016学年高二上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1. If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usuallythey have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.21. Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.A. he can’t read or writeB. he doesn’t use his memory oftenC. his parents haven’t a good memoryD. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time22. Which of the following is TRUE ?A. Your memory doesn’t work in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to ha ve a better memory.D. A good memory comes from less practice.23. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.A. his own faultB. his parents’ faultC. his teachers’ faultD. his g randmother’s fault24. The writer of this passage wants to tell us ________.A. how to use our arms or legsB. how to read and writeC. how to have a good memoryD. how to learn from the peoplest July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Seattle, a city on the northwest American coast. Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, Dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there.Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered in snow and ice!My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water — a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen.25. What ticket did the father buy for the family?A. Bus.B. Ship.C. Train.D. Airplane.26. Why did they pay a fine?A. Because they got up late.B. Because they didn’t w ait in line.C. Because they came to the airport lateD. Because their bag was overweight.27. What was the writer’s most impressive experience?A. The flight to Seattle.B. The breakfast in the airport.C. The visit to Mount Rainier.D. The discovery of a small stream.28. Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails?A. To enjoy more of the wildlife.B. To take a shortcut to save time.C. To avoid the snowy road.D. To avoid being attacked by animals.3.In 1901,H.G.Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that themoon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"H.G.Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Channel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?29. The explorers in H.G.Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people" .A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. were ahead of them in space technology30. What does the underlined word "it" (Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Discovering the moon's inner space.B. Using the earth's inner space.C. Meeting the "moon people" again.D. Traveling to outer space.31. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.32. What would be the best title for the text?A. Alice Cities—cities of the future.B. Space travel with H.G.Wells.C. Enjoy living underground.D. Building down, not up4.On April 22, 2012, I jumped from an airplane 13, 000 feet up. What was the purpose? It was just to overcome my fear of heights.Seven years ago, when I went to France, I couldn’t go up the Eiffel Tower because I was afraid. It seemed so high. I wanted to overcome my fear, so I could dare to go skydiving（跳伞）. At first, I didn’t think I could, but I finally made it.I don’t think that I could have jumped out of that plane without the encouragement of my wonderful friends and classmates—Yodel and Tatiana! It was a pity that we couldn’t jump together. However, as we prepared to jump, there was something special among us-- a special bond.I made a reservation（预定）to go skydiving one week before the day of my jump. I felt nervous during the whole week, kind of blue; but mysteriously. When it was the moment to jump from the airplane, I didn’t feel any fear (I)just jumped! That was wonderful! Wonderful!There was a whole new world and the beautiful sky. I had never seen such a beautiful world! First, I felt an awful acceleration（加速）and then I felt like I was lying in the air…like a bird! I think it was an illusion, but it was wonderful!The oncoming wind blew me strongly. It was amazing! After about 50 seconds free fall, the parachute opened. When I landed on the ground, I felt a lack of oxygen. It was difficult to breathe in during the freefall.I was so glad that I survived and was able to overcome my fear! Everything went well! If possible, I want to jump again. My first jump is an outstanding memory for me.33. What would be best title of the passage?A. Overcoming fear of heights.B. Not daring to go up the Eiffel Tower.C. Jumping from a planeD. A special bond with friends34. By saying “I finally made it”, the author means _________.A. he gave up going skydiving in the endB. at last he succeeded in skydivingC. he made up his mind in the endD. he finally made a reservation35. Why did the author feel a lack of oxygen when he was landing on the ground?A. Because he was falling for about a minute.B. Because it was his first time to do so.C. Because people breathe in less air when falling freely.D. Because the wind was blowing him strongly.二、阅读填空(共2题)1.Some researchers, parents and teachers have suggested that high-school classes begin later in the morning to accommodate (适应) teens’ needs for more sleep. 36 However, in the meantime you’ll have to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions that may help you to sleep better.Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it’s time to sleep. 37 So try to stick as closely as you can to your sleep schedule, even on weekends.Exercise regularly. 38 Finish exercising at least 3 hours before bedtime. Many sleep experts believe that exercising in late afternoon may actually help a person sleep.Avoid stimulants (刺激物). Don’t drink beverages with caffeine, such as soda and coffee, after 4 pm. 39 And drinking alcohol in the evening can make a person restless and interrupt sleep.Relax your mind. Avoid violent, scary or action movies or television shows right before bed. Reading books with active plots may also keep you from falling or staying asleep.Create the right sleeping environment. 40 So close your curtains(and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out light) and turn down the thermostat (恒温器). Noise can prevent people from sleeping well. Use a white-noise machine if you need to block out a noisy environment.A. Waking up at the same time every day also helps establish sleep patterns.B. People usually sleep best in a dark cool room.C. Light signals to the brain that it’s time to w ake up.D. Try not to exercise right before bedtime as it can make it harder for you to fall asleep.E. Nicotine is also a stimulant, so quitting smoking may help you sleep better.F. Naps too close to bedtime may keep you from falling asleep.G. Some schools have carried out later start times.2.A fifteenyearold boy named Justin Foster in Dover, New Hampsh ire went ____61____ (miss) two days ago. _____62___ was not until the lunchtime the next day that he was found missing.

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago，as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie，I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Althoughshoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28. From the passage we know .A. Annie knew how important she was to her motherB. shoppers didn’t notice the author dancing with her sonC. there are bedtime stories in the Tale of Samuel WhiskersD. Sam was not surprised at the music which was played in the store29. When the author knew her daughter could not stop looking at her pretty face, she felt .A. sadB. deeply movedC. annoyedD. ashamed30. Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world ?A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.B. Because her son was the most important person to her.C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happinesswith kids.4.Chinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from China feel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This servic e was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,” said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’ assignment was a“historic moment” recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.

As far as I’m concerned, travelling can not only enrich my knowledge but also broaden my horizons. Besides, it can relax me and help me keep away from the pressure of study. So I want to take advantage of this vocation to travel around. However, my parents are strongly against me, for they consider it as a waste of money and time which should be spent on studies. I’ve tried my best to persuade them but they don’t understand or support me.Could you please help me out? Looking forward to your early reply!Yours,Li Hu a听力材料Text 1M: How did you like the concert?

These media include newspapers, magazines, televisions, radios and outdoor signs. Advertisers buy space in newspaper and magazine to publish their ads. They buy time on television and radio to broadcast their commercials.One of the several advantages is that most adults read a daily newspaper, and many of them specifically check the ads for information about products, services, or special sales.A main advantage of television to advertisers is that it brings sight, sound, and action directly to consumers in their home. And one advantage of advertising on radio is that people can listen to programs while doing other things, such as driving a car or working at home.Magazines are usually read in a leisurely manner and are often kept for weeks or months before being discarded. While large, colorful outdoor signs, which people pass by repeatedly, easily attract attentions.Other ways of advertising include the use of transportation, window displays, point-of-sale, telephone directories, and novelties.。

2015-2016学年度高二年上学期期末英语试题考试时间100 分钟出题人刘奇玉第一部分：阅读理解AA traveller was staying in an Egyptian village. One day, she held up her camera to take pictures of the children. Suddenly the young ones began to shout at her. The traveller's face turned red and she apologized to the head for what she was doing, and told him she had forgotten that people in some places believed a person would lose his soul if his picture was taken. She explained to him the operation of a camera for a long time. Several times the head tried to say something, but he couldn't. When she believed that the head didn't fear any longer, the traveller then let him speak. With a smile, he said, "The children were trying to tell you that you forgot to take off the lens(镜头) cap!"16. The traveller made an apology to the head because _____.A.she thought it was not right to take people's pictures without telling them beforehand(事先)B. the children would lose their soulsC. she had stayed in the village too longD. she didn't take a picture of the head first17. The traveller explained how to use a camera to the head because _____.A. the head was very interested in her cameraB. the head wanted to learn to take picturesC. she was afraid of the headD. she wanted the head not to worry about what she was doing18. When the head smiled, it's clear that _____.A. the children wanted to play with herB. the traveller didn't know what the children meantC. he wanted the traveller to tell him something elseD. the traveller didn't let him speak19. Which of the following is NOT right?A. The traveller knew something about people in some countries.B. The children wouldn't mind if the traveller took pictures of them.C. The head was afraid that the traveller's camera would hurt the children.D. The traveller didn't understand why the children shouted.BPopeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach thanbefore! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.20.A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong21.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.22.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise23.Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinachCBody and FoodYour body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away ”is not as silly as some people think.The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C.Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly.The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening,24.“Your body has close relations with the food you eat.”It really means tha t ______.A.all kinds of food you eat can be made into your bodyB.your body is made up of the food you eatC.what you eat has great effect on your healthD.the more you eat, the fitter you will feel25.The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that ______.A.eating apples regularly does lots of good to our healthB.the apple is the best among all kinds of fruitsC.apples can take the place of doctorsD. an apple is a sure cure for illness26.In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know ______.A.our bodies need food or we can’ t liveB.often eating apples is a good habitC.taking extra vitamin pills is completely uselessD.a good diet is of great importance for our health27.From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy,we should ____.A. only eat an apple a dayB. eat properlyC. take as many vitamin pills as possibleD.throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefullyDA lot of people think Scotland is a part of England , but, as any Scotsman will tell you , it certainly is not. In fact, until the eighteenth century Scotland was an independent country, with a parliament of its own. The English had tried many times over many centuries to bring Scotland under their rule. They succeeded at last in 1707, and some Scots have never forgiven them.Scotland is now governed from London, but in some ways it is still a separate nation. It has its own capital city(Edinburgh),its own law, and its own stamps, it even has a language of its own, spoken now by only a few people in the islands.In some ways Southern Scotland is like England, with his good farmland and low green hills. Central and Northern (the Highlands) have high mountains and deep valleys, fast rivers and cold lakes. These days, of course, there are good roads and railways all through Scotland. Aberdeen, the northeast city where the oil from the North Sea comes to land, is especially easy to reach. But it can still be quite different to travel in the winter when the hills are covered with snow. It always takes a long time to visit the beautiful but far-off islands on the west coast. One reason why Scotland has stayed so different from England is the wildness of the land. It hasalways been difficult to get around there.28. From the history of the Great Britain we can know Scotland________.A.had been an independent country by the 19th centuryB.had been a dependent country by the 18th centuryC.was a separate country before the 18th centuryD.was a dependent country before 18th century29. The first paragraph tell us _______.A.the Scots used to fight against the rules from England many timesB.the Scots defeated the English at all the battlesC.the Scots never defeated the English at all the battlesD.it was quite easy for the English to occupy Scotland30. Scotland has a language of its own,________.A.which is spoken by all the ScotsB.which not many people speak nowC.which is almost the same as English languageD.which the English prevent from being spoken第二节：七选五阅读理解Bl ues has had a great influence on today’s American music 31Where did blues come from? 32 These men and women lost almost everything，but not their music．They brought it with them．This music was played on simple instruments．And it was sung by both men and women.

高中英语真题：2015-2016学年高二上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1. It is widely believed that robots will star(担任主角) in human’s future life. But how soon will it be before robots become so intelligent that they will be able to do things, such as teaching languages or looking after patients in hospital? Some experts believe this will happen within twenty years while others disagree.One London company, UAS(University Automated Systems) has already developed machines that can be used as “home helps” for old people unable to look after themselves and those who are living on their own or in special homes. These machines can now do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor, and the company says that future models still accept simple voice instructions and can be controlled by a “brain” that is the equivalent (替代品) of the latest IBM microcomputer. The director of UAS, MrHenry Jeffries, believes that in the next five to ten years companies will have developed even more sophisticated (复杂的) robots for use in industry. By that time, it is likely that they will also have begun to sell new forms of these machines into ordinary homes. Robots could do a wide range of household tasks, such as preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and so on. By then, the price of such machines may have come down to as little as $1,000.But Dr Sandra Lomax, who has done research into artificial intelligence at Sussex University and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), believes we have a long way to go before we can develop truly intelligent machines.Preparing an omelet (煎蛋) may seem easy enough. But suppose one of the eggs has gone bad, even the most “intelligent” robot would probably still use it. If something slightly unusual needs doing something that requires even a little of ordinary human imagination, a robot is useless. They need programming for even the simplest of tasks and are not able to learn from experience. And teaching a robot how to recognize a bad egg is more difficult than teaching it to prepare the omelet, Dr Sandra Lomax says.21. A London company called UAS has already developed a machine which________.A. can teach languages and care for the patients in hospitalB. can help old people do certain jobs in the houseC. is controlled by microcomputer “brain”D. can accept simple voice instructions22. The director of UAS believes that in the next five to ten years new forms of machines will________.A. be able to “think” with their own brains and do anything with imaginationB. cost less than $1,000C. be used more in ordinary homes than in industryD. do more housework23. Dr Sandra Lomax thinks that________.A. no robot will ever be able to prepare an omeletB. a robot will soon be able to do unusual housework people can’t doC. we can program a robot to learn from experienceD. making an omelet is easier for a robot than recognizing a bad egg2. Tea, the most important of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid 17th century that tea first appeared in England.Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o’clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked her servant to bring a tray of tea, bread, butter and cake to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.This pause for tea became a fashionable social event. During the 1880s upper class and society women would change into long gowns, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea which was usually served in the drawing room between four and five o’clock.Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches，scones served with cream and jams. Cakes and pastries are also served. Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured from silver teapots into delicate bone chinacups. Nowadays, however, in the average suburban home, afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea, usually produced using a teabag.24. Afternoon tea was introduced in England in________.A. 1880B. the mid 17th centuryC. 1840D. 19th century25. Traditional afternoon tea is made up of________.A. Sandwiches, scones as well as cakes and pastriesB. a biscuit or small cake and a mug of teaC. a tray of tea, bread, butter and cakeD. a selection of dainty sandwiches26. According to the passage, we can learn that________.A. tea appeared in England much earlier than in ChinaB. the reason why the Duchess was hungry at 4 pm is that dinner time came quite lateC. in the suburban home，afternoon tea is also served in a dainty wayD. tea grown in India is poured from china teapots into delicate bone silver cups27. The title of the passage is________.A. Afternoon tea, a very British traditionB. Tea, the most important of England drinksC. Anna, a person introducing afternoon tea to EnglandD. Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford3. Hypothermia, which means a state in which the body's temperature is below 35.0 °C, is the cause of at least 1500 deaths a year in the United States. It is more common in older people and males. Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake -- not very much, but uncontrollably.The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of thecold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering.Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments.But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working quickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently.Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat. Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of “rewarming” a perso n needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.28. According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.A. He feels cold so he shakes deliberately.B. He can drink some wine to stop the shaking.C. Some common treatments can help him recover.D. He should be sent to the hospital immediately.29. Which of the following expression can take the place of the underlined words?A. knock intoB. break intoC. look intoD. get into30. When people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia, which of the following statement is WRONG? _________A. Their body temperature drops below 35℃.B. The rescue workers should first help them warm slowly and gently in a proper situation.C. If hypothermia isn’t treated correctly, the victim’s heart may not beat normally.D. Hypothermia victims seem alive but dead.31. What’s the best title for the text? ________.A. Different kinds of hypothermiaB. Medical help is important in treating hypothermiaC. Emergency treatment for different types of hypothermia.D. How to avoid cold-weather injuries.4.Gene Technology to Benefit PeopleAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal ways. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.32. What do the underlined words “these two killers” refer to?A. Gene technology.B. Cancer and heart disease.C. Hereditary diseases and cancer.D. The couple who have cloned babies.33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Gene technology can do with hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.34. In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?A. People with hereditary diseases can live longer.B. Scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.C. Cancer and heart disease can be cured.D. Human babies can be cloned.35. What is the main purpose of the author’s writing this passage?A. To talk about the advantages of gene technology.B. To explain that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.C. To tell the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.D. To describe how gene technology will benefit people.二、阅读填空(共2题)1. Recently some American scientists have given a piece of useful advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 36The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led tonew kinds of sicknesses. 37 So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 38 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 39 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.40 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.B. People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did.C. Ancient people also lived in large groups.D. But today, we eat a lot of these.E. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise.F. In that case, they would live much healthier.G. People today probably live the same life as people thousands of yearsago.2.Martin: Hey, Ruth. Where were you just now?Ruth: Oh, I went to see my father in hospital. He has 61 (infect) with lung disease.Martin: I'm sorry to hear that. 62 (compare) with other people, your father is a much heavier smoker, who has been addicted 63 smoking for over ten years.Ruth: Well, yes. I really wish he 64 (smoke) so much. But he is so 65 (accustom) to nicotine that he can hardly resist its temptation. And I find 66 very difficult to put up with him because he has become moody (喜怒无常的)．Martin: So, has he got any better in hospital?Ruth: Yeah, he seldom scolds me and asks politely for water when he feels thirsty. But 67 time he tries to swallow a capsule, he chokes. He just can't get them down very easily.Martin: Maybe you should ask the doctor for another prescription, and I think it's time that he68 (give) smoking in order to live 69 healthy life.Ruth: Thanks for your advice, Martin. I will try my best to persuade him to quit 70 (smoke)．三、完型填空(共1题)1.When I was very young, my family left from Cuba and lived in Chicago.

You have to carry with you all the food and equipment you need for your trip, so your food can’t be too heavy or hard to prepare. Plus, there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh. Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn’t spoil(变坏). So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. But there’s no gravity in space. To keep food from floating(漂浮) away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray(托盘). The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut’s lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s nose.Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though. So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw(吸管) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good. Some, such as apples and pudding, are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑). Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye.Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too. During takeoff and landing, astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers(尿布) under their spacesuits instead. The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a smallcloset. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.24. Why do astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper to prepare food?A. Liquid doesn’t spoil.B. Liquid is convenient to use in space.Liquid is lightweight. D. Astronauts are in great need of water.25. What do astronauts think of space foods?A. Most of them taste pleasant.B. They are mostly fruits.Most of them are rather cold. D. They contain too little meat.26. We can infer from the passage that astronauts ___________.A. drink from cups and glassesB. always wear diapers in spaceC. can move freely during landingD. must pay attention to crumbs in space27. What is the passage mainly about?A. Astronaut’s hard life in space.B. How astronauts go to the bathroom.C. The various foods astronauts eat in space.D. How astronauts eat and deal with waste in space.3. When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with his emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence--knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.28. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________.A. he is forced to do thingsB. he can’t work at his bestC. he feels his brain shut downD. he thinks of his work too heavy29. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.B. Working conditions affect people’s physical health.C. Good relationship is the key to business success.D. Smart people are more functional in the work place.30. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all ______.A. provide better suggestionsB. develop his own personalityC. give his employees a pay riseD. hide his own emotion of fear31. This passage is mainly about ______A. not forcing others to do thingsB. how to influence peopleC. how to develop your emotional intelligenceD. how to be a good leader4. Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who madepots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Rober ts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.32. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A. Places where people lived.B. People’s characters.C. Talents that people possessed.D. People’s occupations.33. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containersD. built houses and furniture34. Suppose(假设) an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafyforest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. George LongstreetD. Donald Greenwood35. The underlined word descendants in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.A. later generationsB. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partnersD. later sponsors二、阅读填空(共2题)1.The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. 36 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the pers on’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 If it is caused by disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.A. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.C. Everyone was new to the network once.D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.2.Paul Lucas can often be seen walking around the city of San Francisco.

And，of course，__69__ (walk) barefoot keeps your feet in good shape，so it’s actually __70__ (healthy) than wearing shoes.三、完型填空(共1题)1.One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finisha business meeting.

AA rising population is one of the main reasons that there is global warming. Between 1650 and 1850 the population increased by 0.75 billion people going from 0.25 billion to one billion. From 1930 to the end of the century the population rose from two billion to over six billion. In just a third of the time the population rose by more than five times what it did before. It is expected that this trend in the changing population will continue and could even heighten. The growingpopulation requires increasing amounts of energy. These energy demands and other supplies require production, which almost always involves the emission of greenhouse gases. The more the population increases the more greenhouse gases that are produced and the greater the increase in temperature.The burning of fossil fuels is one of the best-known causes for global warming. The major reason for fossil fuels contributing so much to global warming is the release of carbon that occurs during the burning of fossil fuels. When people burn fossil fuels, they release large amounts of carbon by way of the release of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the air then leads to global warming.Another source of carbon dioxide comes from deforestation. In forests there is a large amount of carbon that is stored in the trees and other plants. This carbon is out of the atmosphere because the trees consume the carbon from carbon dioxide. When people cut down trees, they are frequently burned. This burning releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that was stored in organic matter. Even when new trees are planted, it can take up to one hundred years to make up for the carbon that was released. It is commonly thought that because trees absorb more carbon dioxide, the atmosphere experiences positive effects.Sophie Armstrong, the writer of Earth Care put it, “There’s no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer because of human activity rather than a random but natural phenomenon.21. Which of the following titles goes with the text?A. A Rising PopulationB. Saving Sources of EnergyC. Global warming: The causesD. Carbon Dioxide22.

Young men are likely to love the Round Clock Key Chain.D. The Round Clock Key Chain is the cheapest gift.CWe have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at exactly the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude (前奏) to an unforeseen series of catastrophes. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, smashing half your best pottery and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, pottery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour one evening two cars collided (猛撞) and both drivers began to argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car. Thismade the driver following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car, stopped all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily ate what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!28. What would have most upset the woman the day everything went wrong for her?A. She had not expected her husband to arrive so early.B. The meal she had cooked for the three guests had got burnt.C. Her husband had not told her he was bringing anyone to dinner.D. She had not got enough pottery left to serve the meal with.29. What might have prevented a chain reaction following the beginning collision?A. If the two drivers who had collided had not begun to argue.B.

Misfortunes never come singly.DThat "Monday morning feeling" could bea crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath.Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. "We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇) but we don't know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can't give clear advice on how to prevent them." he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressure of work."When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal (内分泌) changes in their bodies." Willich explained. "All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot (血凝块) which will cause a heart attack.""When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities." said Willich.32.
