A month after I graduated from high school in August， 2007， I was coming home from swim。
practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident。
I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn't open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around。
At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries。
Just like my body，my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams。
After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk， eat， walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital， I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf， Maryland。

Nearly every robot has been made in some way 1 up to a certain level or temperature. The machine will wait for “feedback” about the water2 or temperature before it begins the washing cycle. In this way, a washing machine has been patterned after humans. We depend on3 from our five senses to find out what is happening around us and then make decisions about our actions.Of course, some machines perform functions like humans, but much 4 than we do, such as calculators. A pocket calculator works faster than a human, never makes mistakes, and doesn’t get 5 or bored.Other robots are very similar to humans in their ability 6 new things. In factories, robots can learn to do many different tasks, as they are shown by a human operator. For example, in a car factory, a person will guide a robot’s “arm” and “7 ” through the steps of the new job. The robot’s electronic “brain” will8 the information away, memorizing the steps so the next time it 9 can repeat the movements without a human operator. When the robot must be moved to a new job, its memory is 10 so it is ready to learn the next job. Of course, at any time if there is anything 11in the process, different from the original task, the robot cannot 12 with it. It will signal for an engineer to come for repairs.Some robots are considered very intelligent because they have more human abilities than others, such as “seeing” 13 cameras for eyes or “feeling” with metal fingers that can14 shapes and even temperatures. However, no machine has 15 been able to copy the complexity of the simplest, most common person.1. A. similar B. familiar C. sensitive D. different2. A. depth B. level C. fullness D. warning3. A. feelings B. touch C. feedback D. response4. A. faster B. more slowly C. worse D. better5. A. tiring B. exciting C. excited D. tired6. A. of learning B. to learn C. to copy D. to memorize7. A. hand B. body C. elbow D. brain8. A. take B. put C. store D. give9. A. correct B. similar C. same D. different10. A. erased B. refreshed C. kept D. stored11. A. usual B. unusual C. wrong D. strange12. A. do B. deal C. stay D. solve13. A. in B. by C. with D. from14. A. see B. sense C. know D. predict15. A. already B. never C. even D. ever三、阅读理解（共2题；共30分）（一）The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to compete and then do better than their human ancestors. Once they do better than us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have endedcarbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to improve environments. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.（1）In what way can we make a machine intelligent? （）A. By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B. By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C. By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D. By reproducing it.（2）What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability? （）A. He believes they will be useful to human beings.B. He believes that they will control us in the future.C. He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D. He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.（3）The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para.2) stands for _________.A. intelligent robotsB. a chemical elementC. an organic substanceD. human beings（4）It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. after connections with phones, robots will be able to have self-reproductionB. people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC. once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will have intelligenceD. robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space（二）Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions，Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial，at least today，of Twain's novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain's most widely read tale.Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟)．”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti-slavery.Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J．Chadwick has pointed out，the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities，“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man.”There is much more.Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master's baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the master's baby by his wife.The slave's lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of theslave-holding class.The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss：nurture(养育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech，for example—were，to Twain，indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twain's racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved w hat were called“nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black-face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist？Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free him.And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.（1）How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowe's? （）A. Twain was more willng to deal with racism.B. Twain's attack on racism was much less open.C. Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots.D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.（2）Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its________.A. target readers at the bottomB. anti-slavery attitudeC. rather impolite languageD. frequent use of “nigger”（3）What best proves Twain's anti-slavery stand according to the author? （）A. Jim's search for his family was described in detail.B. The slave's voice was first heard in American novels.C. Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.D. Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.（4）The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that________.A. slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB. slaves' babies could pick up slave-holders' way of speakingC. blacks' social position was shaped by how they were brought upD. blacks were born with certain features of prejudice（5）What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to? （）A. The attacks.B. Slavery and prejudice.C. White men.D. The shows. （6）What does the author mainly argue for? （）A. Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.B. Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.C. Twain's works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.D. Twain's works should be read from a historical point of view.四、任务型阅读（共5分）It's nice being nice to others; it's also great to give people a hand. However, if you start to hurt yourself by doing so, then this is not so healthy.________If you fear that you might fall into this category, the following tips will help you to stand up for yourself and regain your self-confidence. ________Although you may often stay silent if something is wrong or bothers you, it is better to speak your mind right away. You don't have to be rude, but you do have to be firm and direct. Don't do things for others if you don't really want to. Speak up, and soon others will be seeing you in a whole new light.Start small.________This will allow you to practice being brave and self-confident. Tell a person who has cut in line in front of you to move to the back of the line, or tell a salesperson to do that. Before long, you will be confident enough to stand up to your friends and family members.Judge well.When dealing with others, you have to exercise good judgment. ________If a colleague isn't doing his part, you should rightfully demand that he start doing so. However, if a taxi cuts you off in traffic, just let it go.________Rome wasn't built in a day. If you want to get back again after having been a pushover(耳软心活的人), it's best to take one step at a time.A. Express yourself.B. Regain your confidence.C. Start by speaking up for yourself with strangers.D. Everyone has the right to live without being judged.E. If you slip back into the pushover mode every once in a while, don't blame yourself.F. Sadly, some people are so easily pushed around that they come to be seen as pushovers.G. It's one thing to be confident, but quite another to forcefully say no to an unreasonable request.五、翻译（共10分）1.我们最终一定会成功。

Japan is very serious about robotics (机器人技术). If robots are going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are just exploring that. In a show this week, a humanoid (人形机器人)with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc.poured tea from a bottle into a cup. Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensorsembeddedin the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate (模仿) life with robot technology.

人教版英语选修7 Unit 2 Robots 单元测试卷一、阅读理解1.From fast food cooks to doormen at restaurant and hotels, robots are slowly entering the workforce in nearly every industry. Most recently, the world welcomed its first operational robot policeman."Robocop", the newest member of the Dubai police force, made the first public appearance on Sunday at the Fourth Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference, where it greeted guests. At about 70 inches tall and weighing nearly 220 pounds, Robocop seeks to engage with residents and tourists. Featuring an emotion detector（探测器）, the robot can recognize a person's gestures and body language from about 5 feet away.Robocop's skills don't stop here—the emotionally intelligent bot can detect if a person is happy, sad and even angry by studying his or her facial expression. And just like your human friends would do, if Robocop sees you're unhappy, it will try to lift your spirits. More importantly, when it comes to fighting crime, the robot uses the Internet, artificial intelligence and other smart technologies to spot offenders using facial recognition. Its navigation（导航）skills grant it the ability to map out areas and travel on its own. Equipped with a built-in tablet, Robocop can communicate with people, speak six languages, respond to public inquiries, shake hands and even make military salutes."With the aim to assist people on the streets," said Brigadier—General Khalid Nasser AI Razzouqi, director—general of smart services at Dubai Police, "the Robocop is the latest smart addition to the force and has been designed to help us fight crime recently, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels."（1）According to the text, Robocop can ______.e body languageB.make people happyC.cook fast foodD.ask questions in public（2）What is the key part when Robocop makes a traveling route?A.Its navigation skills.B.Its built-in tablet.C.Its emotion detector.D.Its own ability to travel.（3）Robocop is designed with the original intention of ______.A.fighting crimeB.acting as a doormanC.helping people on the streetsmunicating with people（4）What can be the best title for the text?A.Robocop Has Drawn Great Public AttentionB.Robocop Is Playing the Role as a PolicemanC.Robocop Will Help You Anytime and AnywhereD.Robocop Is on the Way to Replacing the Police Official二、完形填空As a banker, Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to rural Pittstown, New Jersey, seven years ago.（1）______ by farms, he quickly became interested in growing and rented a 30-by-30-foot land.

self-driving cars, rather than modifying vehicles built by other producers.The car will have a stop-go button but no controls, steering wheel or pedals.Pictures of the Google vehicle show it looks like a city car with a “friendly” face, designed to make it seem non-threatening and help people accept self-driving technology.Co-founder Sergey Brin revealed the plans at a conference in California.“We're really excited about this vehicle—it's something that will allow us to really push the capabilities of self-driving technology, and understand the limitations，” said Chris Urmson, director of the company's selfdriving project.He added that the cars had the ability to “improve people's lives by transforming mobility”．But some researchers working in this field are investigating potential downsides to driverless car technology.They believe they could make traffic and urban extension worse，as people accept longer commutes(往返路程)as they do not have to drive themselves.It looks almost cartoon-like，it has no traditional bonnet at the front，and the wheels are pushed to the corners.It will seat two people，driving force will be electric，and at the start it will be limited to 25mph (40km/h) to help ensure safety.The most significant thing about the design is that it does not，have any controls, apart from a stop/go button.For early testing, extra controls will be fitted so one of Google's test drivers can take over if there is a problem.The controls will be simply plugged in, and Mr.Urmson believes that over time, as confidence in the technology grows，they will be removed entirely.The front end of the vehicle is designed to be safer for pedestrians, with a soft foam-like material where a traditional bumper would be, and a more flexible windscreen，which may help reduce injuries.The vehicle will use a combination of laser and radar sensors along with camera data to drive autonomously.It will depend on Google's road maps, built specifical for the programme, and tested on the company's current fleet of vehicles.文章大意：本文描述了谷歌无人驾驶汽车的研发。
