（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）AAre you willing to work for a robot boss？Sorry if your answer was "no”，because it will be common in the near future，according to researchers from Oxford．A third of British jobs are at "high risk'’of being replaced- by- robots in the next20 years，the research by Deloitte，the Oxford Martin School and the University of Oxford found．Wired magazine went further. "It may be hard to believe，but before the end ofthis century, 70 percent of today's occupations will be replaced by automation（自动化技术）”said the magazine in 2012·Of course，people being replaced by robots is not recent news．Robots have been taking over labor work in factories and on farms for some time，lifting heavy boxesand picking fruit and vegetables．Next, cleaning chores in offices and schools will be taken over by late-night robots，starting with easy-to-do floors and windows and eventually moving to toilets，Wired predicted．But that，s just the beginning．Even white-collar jobs are not safe．Any job dealing with sales，services or lots of paperwork could be taken over by robots in the future．For example，in the UK, library assistants have decreased by 48 percent since 2001，sales-related jobs have fallen by 40 percent, and travel agents by 44 percent, the Daily Mail reported.But that doesn，t mean that human beings will have nothing to do in the future．Instead, we need to update our skills. Digital（数字化的）know-how, managementand creativity will be in greater demand in the future，said British consulting company Deloitte．31 ．The underlined sentence meansA．a third of British j obs are dangerousB ．a third of British jobs are of high profitC ．British people may lose a third of their j obsD ．British people may replace a third of robots’jobs32．From the passage，we know late-night robots axe mainly made to do ．A. factory and farm jobs B．cleaning j obsC. difficult jobsD. white-.collar jobs33．In the UK, sales-related j obs have decreased by since 2 0 l o．A. 70%B. 48%C. 44%D. 40%34一The best title for this passage is ．A．Robots to Take Charge B ．Robots to Be Smarter．C ．Robots to Do Hard Jobs D．Robots to Do PaperworkBBarbecuing has been an art form ever since hunting and fire were mastered．Many countries claim it as their own．In France，the phrase "barbe a queue'，一meaning "from head to tail'，一has been used to describe a method of cooking a pig whole．In the US，BBQ，which is considered to be short for "barbecue'，，was once used on old roadhouse signs that advertised "bar, beer and cues（球杆）．”But in Australia, "where gas barbecues can be found in just about every backyard and balcony in the country, barbecuing is considered a basic right'，noted CNN.On November 15，Australia，s Prime Minister Tony Abbott hosted a traditional Aussie barbecue lunch to treat、the world，s most powerful leaders who had arrived in Brisbane，Queensland for the G20 Leaders Summit. The lunch not only featured the traditional burnt but tasty steak and sausages，but also other special Australian foods．So how did the barbecue become such an important part of the country，s culture? In Australia, firing up the barbie（烧烤架）and laid-back outdoor eating are almost a way of life，said Cue.Barbecuing came to be thought of as an important part of the Aussie lifestyle inthe 1960s, when the "chop（排骨）picnic" became part of the Aussie language. "We love the great outdoors so much that something like that great Australian tradition, the‘barbie’，was certain to happen,，，Australian author Mark Thomson wrote in his book the Legendary Australian Barbecue．35．When talking of barbecue，the French may think of．A. a whole pigB. bar, beer and cuesC. BBQD. backyard and balcony36．In Paragraph 5，“the country ”，refers to．A. FranceB. the USC. AustraliaD. CNN37．What do we know about Australian barbecuing from this passage？A．It is a common practice nationwide．B ．It is mostly done over burning wood．C ．Only wealthy people can afford it.D ．It is often seen- on special occasions．38．The main purpose of the passage is to introduce·A．Australian barbecuing culture B ．different barbecuing in the worldC ．G20 Leaders Summit D．the ancient Australian lifestyleCYA：Although people should face the consequences of their behavior, lives arethe most valuable thing and should be respected and guaranteed．People don，t have the chance to correct their errors·and make a new start if their lives are taken away．Also，it would be a disaster if the wrong person were given the death penalty(死刑）·YB：I support getting rid of the death penalty．Violence should never be met withviolence．Abolishing the death penalty could help people to realize the power of forgiveness and love．It could also get officials to focus more on preventing crimes instead of punishing the criminals after they have been committed,．YC：The goal of laws and penalties is not to punish criminals but to keep people from committing crimes．Corrective education would be much better than the death ‘penalty，as it could help people understand their crimes and feel sorry from the bottom of their hearts rather than just fear death．NA：We need the death penalty．Those who do great harm to others and affect society badly are supposed to be punished seriously．They should be responsible for their behavior. Without the death penalty, some people might commit terrible crimes because they would no longer worry about losing their lives even if they take away others’lives though in fact they haven，t the right to do so．NB：Laws are different in different countries because of national conditions．Some developed countries that have abolished the death penalty have highly educated people and have few problems with their laws．Compared to them，China still has a long way to go before it can abolish the death penalty．NC：For some severe crimes, imprisonment(监禁）isn't enough to一make sure there is social justice and to defend laws．The death penalty can achieve that．If we abolished it, we would need to spend a lot of money on prisoners，which would be a burden on society．39．According to YB，the government should pay more attention to·A．abolishing the death penalty B．committing crimesC ．punishing the criminalsD ．preventing crimes40．From the view of NA, without the death penalty，crimes might beA. differentB. the sameC. more seriousD. less and less41.Which of the following is a reason to keep the death penalty?A.

Coming up with a new code（密码）doesn't seem like abig deal，unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, usingat least one uppercase character(大写字母），one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. 4h, the whole password can’t be fewer than eight characters．And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months．Suddenly I was quite angry. What didn，t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce．Disbelief about what she had done to me was all I thought about．Every day.I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss．He’d said："I’m going to usea password to change my life．”I couldn，t focus on getting things done in my current mood一There were clear signs of what I needed to do to get control of my life again．My password became the sign．My password reminded me that I shouldn，t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to dosomething about it．I made my password Forgive@h3r.I had to type this several times a day. The simple action一changed the way I looked at my ex-wife．That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happenedand find a new way of dealing with my depression．As the month wore on, I felt aslow healing begin to happen. By the time my server asked me to reset（重置）卿my password the following month, I felt free．One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset．my password．I thought about the next thing that I had to get done．My password becameQuit@smoking4ever.I quit smoking overnight．This password was a painful one to type during that month，but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement．It motivated me to follow my monthly goal．One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand．Can you guess where I went shortly afterwards？43 ．What does the writer think of changing password at the beginning？A．A ftmny thing．B ．A life boat．C．A big deal．D．A necessity.44 ．From the end of the passage we can know that shortly afterwards the writer_____．A. went back home B．made a trip to ThailandC ．joined another company D．returned to his former company45 ．What helped to change his life in the end?A ．His marriage．B．His company. C．His password．D．His former boss．46．If the following codes have never been used, which one can be used in this company?A ．Ilov3@uB ．mian4@yang C．Ours dreams D．My6@dreamsE①You’re out for dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine．You decide to leave a big fat tip．why? The answer may not be as simple as you think．②Tipping, psychologists(心理学家）have found, can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors（因素）from the waiter's choice of words，to how they carry themselves while taking orders，to the bill’s total．Even the waiter’s being there may change the amount of money in his pocket．③"Studies before have shown that mimicry(模仿）brings into positive feelingsfor the mimicker,，’wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. "These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward theperson who mimics them．”④So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups．He requested that half serve with a phrase such as，"Coming up！”Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers．Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear. The copycat(模仿者）waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group．⑤Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill．After researchon the 1，000 tips left for waiters，cab drivers，hair stylists，they found tip percentages in three areas dropped as customers’bills went up．In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau(达到稳定水平）when bills topped＄100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for＄100．⑥"That，s also a point of tipping,，’Green says．"You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for beingthere to serve you．If they weren，t there,you，d never get any service．So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there．”47 ．tech of the following has little to do with tipping?A. The customer’s bill．B ．The customer’s appearance．C．The waster’s mimicking the customer.D．The waiter’s repeating the customer’s orders and preferences·48，According to Paragraph 5，which of the following shows the right change of the tip percentages?49 ．According to the passage，we know the writer seems to___A．oppose Mr. Green，s idea about tippingB ．give his generous tip to the waiters very oftenC．think part of Mr. Green's explanation is reasonableD. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping50.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
