参考答案：
My Experience in Learning English
Today, English is becoming more and more popular. It is very important for us to learn English well. For me, spoken English is the most difficult.
I think the best way to improve my spoken English is speaking it as much as possible. We can talk with our English teacher and classmates in English. We can also find some foreign friends on internet to make some oral exercises. Besides, reading English stories or watching English films is another way to learn English.

passage 16
For anyone who hates doing yard work, your new best friend may have arrived.
A robot can autonomously show snow, collect leaves and cut grass.
“We’re trying to help people not spend time on yard work.” Said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy their free time with their family.”
The electric robot can run by itself in right directions with the help of two beacons that must be placed in the yard. The robot includes a camera and ultrasound sensor that Waelbers said would stop quickly when it finds pets and people.
Owners of the robot will need to regulate the values stored in the robot. Then it will confirm the task it’s going to take. Before the robot operates by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard – taking it around any obstacles like trees, bushes or mailboxes. By doing this, the robot is taught how long and wide the lawn is, and won’t accidentally destroy your rose bush or run to the neighborhood.
Once this setup is complete, and the $3,999 robot has been trained on where to cut grass, rake leaves and shovel snow, it operates without any supervision.
Waelbers has always loved to build robots and play with electronics. He started work on a high-tech company after his father asked him to make a robot that would shovel snow for him. Waelbers plans to start sales in early 2017.
(A ) 1. This article mainly talks about .
A.a newly-designed robot
B.the founder of a company

B.Help people keep healthy and fit
C.Make people enjoy family time
(B ) 3. The robot would stop in front of pets and people thanks to .
A.the remote controller
B.the ultrasound sensor
C.the big and square yard
(A ) 4. Which of the following steps should be done in the first place? .
A.An owner must wheel the robot around the yard by himself.
B.The robot learns and stores the length and width of the lawn.
C.The robot operates the task it’s going to take without supervision.
(C ) 5. Which of the following about Waelbers is TRUE? .
A.He didn’t love building robots when he was a young boy.
B.His father asked him to make a robot that could play balls.
C.He is starting to sell this snow-shoveling robot in early 2017.
Passage17
Although they’re still the lovely young kitten or pup in our minds, your pets need extra care as they reach their senior years. Here’s our list of suggestions to keep them happy and healthy for as long as possible.
Foodie
Keeping your pet’s diet healthy and nutritious is very important at any stage of their life, but as they become old, they need a different set of vitamins and minerals. Different sizes and breeds of pets will have different needs, so it’s worth a quick c hat with your vet to discover what they would recommend.
Gym membership
Although they may seem tired and slow for outdoor activities, this doesn’t mean they shouldn’t keep exercise any more. You don’t have to drag them on a 10-mile uphill hike, but encourage your pet to get out into the fresh air. The sights and smells should inspire their natural urge to trot about and explore again. If they’re lazy, try small indoor games and toys that will keep their mind active.
Fit no fat
If you’re feeding your pet healthy foods in appropriate sized portions and making sure they’re getting enough exercise, you shouldn’t have an overweight friend at your side. However, if you still think they need to lose a few pounds, you can discuss with your vet how to help them lose weight and keep a healthy weight.
The dreaded vets
Not many people enjoy a trip to the doctors and it’s certainly the same for your pet. But regular checks at the vets can prevent minor health issues from getting more and more serious. Older pets should be taken to the vet at least once every six months. On your next visit, ask your vet what common issues usually affect their particular breed such as arthritis or diabetes. You can them be more careful when taking care of them.
(B) 1. What is the main topic of the article?
A.How to choose a pet at the pet shop.
B.Some tips of looking after old pets.
C.Differences between kittens and puppies.
(C) 2. As your pets get older, the vitamins and minerals they need are .
A.The same as they were fed in the past
B.Less then those when they are young
C.Different from those they used to have
(A) 3. Which is NOT TRUE according to the article?
A.Old pets shouldn’t keep exercise any more.
B.Fresh air will inspire old pets’ natural urge.
C.If old pets are lazy, just leave them still at home.
(A) 4. According to the article, you can discuss with how to help your aged
pets keep fit but not fat.
A.Your vet
B. your kids
C. your friends
(A) 5. Older pets should go for regular checks at least once .

Passage 18
I want to translate the web into every major language: every webpage, every
video, and yes, even Justin Bieber’s tweets.
Nowadays, most of the Web is inaccessible to most people in the world because its content splits up into hundreds of languages with over 50% of it in English. This problem is pressing, now more than ever, with millions of people from China, Russia, Latin America and other quickly developing regions entering the Web.
There are certainly systems (like Google Translate) that are improving every day at translating the gist of things written in other languages than English.
Unfortunately, they are not yet accurate enough: even when what they spit out is intelligible, it’s so badly written that people can’t read more than a few lines before getting a headache.
This is why a new project called Duolingo is introduced here. Duolingo aims at breaking the language barrier, and thus making the Web truly “world wide”.
The idea behind Duolingo is to kill two birds with one stone by solving both of these problems simultaneously. It is accomplished by transforming language translation into something that anyone can do—not just bilinguals —and that millions of people want to do: learning a foreign language. It is estimated that over one billion people worldwide are learning a foreign language, with millions doing so using computer programs.
With Duolingo, people learn and translate a foreign language at the same time.
When you learn on Duolingo, the website gives you exercises set specifically for you that teach you every aspect of the new language. You may be asked to translate a sentence, to pronounce or listen to a phrase, or to describe what you see in an image. In this way, Duolingo produces translations that are as accurate as those from professional language translators.
(B) 1. What does the author want to do?
A.Business communication
B. B. Online Translation
C.Door-to-door sales.
(A)2. According to the article, most people in the world can’t receive most of the information on the Web due to the problem of .
A.Different languages
B.social conflicts
ernmental disagreement
(B) 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of many
translating systems?
A.They are not accurate enough
B.They don’t work every day.
C.The translations are badly written.
(C)4. “To kill two birds with one stone” means to .
A.Spend time and money making success
B.Do things without considering its results
C.Solve both problems with only one move
(C) 5. What can you be asked to do while using Duolingo?
A.To test the product with others
B.To pay for the exercises you learn
C.To describe the image that you see。
