第一节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
I stood at the wqindow and watched the neighborhood children flying their kites on the
hill behind our house. Next to me, my four-year-old son, Michael, pressed his face against
the glass. Then, looking up at me with pleading eyes, he again asked if he could have a kite.
Ever since he had first seen the children on the hill, Michael had been asking the same question, and had been given the same answer: “Wait till you are a little older.” Michael hid
his face in my skirt, something he always did when h e was going to cry and didn’t want me
to see.
I felt like crying myself. Because of my health I simply didn’t have the strength or energy to fly a kite with Michael, and Michael was too young to fly a kite all by himself. My husband worked long, irregular(无规律的) hours, and even so we kept going deeper in debt. As a result, a tension had grown between us.
Michael was the one spark of life left for me. As I put him into bed that evening, he said, “Mummy, may I pray to God to send me a yellow kite?”
“Yes,” I said. “We will leave it up to him.” I was tired of the whole thing and hoped that maybe this would make Michae stop talking about it.
The next morning I raised the shade in the kitchen, and stared at the sight that met my eyes—a string hanging down in front of the window. I ran out of the back door. There was a kite, a yellow one.
Michael clapped his hands and jumped up and down. “Mummy, I knew God would answer my prayer!” I didn’t believed. We asked all over the neighborhood but twe never fou nd the kite’s former owner.
My depression left me, and as my health improved, so did my relationship with my husband. All I needed was comfort; no matter what it is, the kindness always exists in my heart.

B
TOKYO, Japan (AP)– Japan is very serious about robotics. If the droids are
going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are exploring just that. In a show this week, a humanoid（有人特点的）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 sensors embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate （模仿）life with robot technology.
“A human being may be faster, but you’d have to say ‘Thank you,’” said University of Tokyo professor Tomomasa Sato. “That’s the best part about a robot. You don’t have to feel bad about asking it to do things.”
Sato believes Japan, a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older, will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elderly, sick and bedridden（卧床不起的）.
Already, monitoring technologies, such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room, are becoming widespread in Japan.
The walking, child–size Asimo from Honda Motor Co. greets people at showrooms. NEC Corp. has developed a smaller companion robot–on –wheels called Papero. A seal robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of fuzzy companionship.
Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices monitor a person’s movements down to the smallest detail.
On the bright side, the tea – pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.
41. What is the best title of this passage?
A. “Thank You” Will Never Be Needed in Japan
B. Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in Japan
C. Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elderly.
D. Robot technologies are wide spread in Japanese daily life.
42. The underlined word “embedded” in the first paragraph probably means .
A. fixed
B. established
C. settled
D. rooted
43. According to Professor Sato, .
A. the robot serves tea much faster than a human being
B. the robot does anything like human beings
C. tea – serving robot helps to form laziness of the aging society
D. tea –serving robot doesn’t need any reward for the service
44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.
B. A robot has been programmed to clean the dishes.
C. All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.
D. The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.
45. We can infer from the passage that .
A. people are afraid of being monitored by robots.
B. the technology of robots has been highlighted in Japan.
C. robots can completely take the place of human beings.
D. people’s privacy should be strictly protected
C
Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families. With a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited(继承) her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted. This year, Kinzie, her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself.
The phone rang on Sunday. A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing.
Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children’s faces at the news. Without a word, Kinzie ran into her bedroom. She returned, her face set with determination. Opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto the table: $3.30. Everything she had.
“Mom,” she told Ann, “I know it’s not much. But maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”
At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter’s story. To her surprise, staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie. By day’s end, the story of Kinzie’s gift had spread beyond Ann’s office. She received a call from an unknown donor. If a seven-year-old could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1. He contributed $300.
On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived. Then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one.
Ashley was very moved. Reflecting on a little girl’s generosity, Ashley says she’ll one day be able t o do something similar for someone else in need. “Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away,” Ashley says. “She’s the type of kid I’d like my son to grow up to be.”
46. According to the text, Ann Sutton ______________.
A. is making lots of money
B. is ready to help others
C. is only caring about herself
D. is a hard-working mother
47.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Ashley lived a hard life with her little son.
B. The Sutton children took Anne as an example to follow.
C. The coworkers of Ann helped Kinzie to realize her wish.
D. Ann Sutton tried to ask for help for her own children.
48.What can we learn about Kinzie?
A. She was afraid that Santa Claus would visit the Ashleys.
B. She should get some presents from her mother at Christmas.
C. She devoted all her coins to buying a present for the baby.
D. She was cheerful when hearing the aid had fallen through.
49. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?
A. It rained heavily on Christmas Eve.
B. Ann handed gifts to Ashley one by one.
C. Ashley hoped she would help someone else in need.
D. A good deed can influence many people’s behavior.
50. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Young Girl’s Gift
B. A Mother’s Love
C. A Story of Young Girl
D. An Unknown Donor
D
“Dear anybody. Your email address has been chosen by our computer. So, for no reason, we’d like to give you a million dollars. All you need to do is give us your bank account numbers. Can we interest you in some diet pills? And, by the way, I want to marry you.”
I hate to let you down, but there is no “million dollars”. The diet pills don’t exist –and your future “husband” or “wife” has just proposed to a million others. These and a hundred other stories have been made up to steal your personal information or money or maybe just to infect your computer with a virus. Welcome to the world of junk email.
Junk email – or spam – is probably the biggest global business that’s ever existed. Billions of spam emails are sent every day, making up around 80% of all email traffic. These incredible volumes of spam slow down the whole internet and cost businesses millions of dollars just trying to keep up with the next trick.
Your email programme probably includes a spam filter, which sorts out the mail you do want from the junk. But it’s impossible to stop it all and if you put together the seconds it takes to see through the deception (欺诈) in each one, they add up to a significant amount of lost time dealing with the spam that does get through.
But who could fall for such obvious tricks? Probably very few of us – one in a million, perhaps. But when you are sending billions of these every day, for next to no cost, it doesn’t tak e a genius to work out that someone is getting very rich.
But who? It’s incredibly difficult to find out. Most spam is sent using anonymous networks of infected computers, called “botnets”, some of which are made up of tens of millions of computers across dozens of countries. Maybe your own laptop is sending out marriage proposals right now. It’s enough to put you off using email again!
So what can you do to defend yourself? You could set up a separate email account for online use, or maybe leave out the @ symbol when you write your email address online. An up-to-date web browser and antivirus program will help too. And of course, never open strange email, even from a friend’s account.
Never click on the links. And never ever reply!
51. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the problem of junk mail
B. the profits of junk mail
C. protection against junk mail
D. the harmful effects of junk mail
52. The first paragraph serves as ________.
A. an important notice to the reader
B. a joke to make the readers laugh
C. some examples of junk mails
D. suggestions to some personal problems
53. The underlined word “others” (in paragraph 2) refers to ________.
A. other dollars
B. other pills
C. other stories
D. other people
54. From paragraph 4, we know that _________.
A. the spam filter is the only solution to junk mail
B. dealing with junk mail wastes much of our time
C. spam filters do not really work and email programmes are to blame
D. using a spam filter takes up a significant amount of time
55. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The only purpose of junk mail is to infect your computer.
B. The majority of emails which are sent are junk emails.
C. Businesses spend millions of dollars sending spam.
D. Botnets are networks of laptops used to send spam.

We have had a class meeting today on whether we should give money to beggars and we have different opinions.
Some believe that we should give money to those who are in bad need of our help. Among these beggars are the elderly, drop-outs and the disabled, who can hardly make a living due to old age, poverty or physical inability. Many more students, however, think we shouldn’t give them money because most of the beggars are begging in hope of earning some easy money. Besides, to give money would encourage them to be lazy even if they have the ability to work.
In general, we should help the people of the inferior group, but we should remain sensible when giving them money.
