I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994.but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday. "Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together any more and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn't afford all the necessary medicine for him because Dad was unable to work. I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in
class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen people react to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life .
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone. Even me, he didn't want to call attention to AIDS.
49. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?
A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill
B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.
D. He told no one about his disease.
50. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A. Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher.
B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.
51. Why did Kerrel keep her father's disease a secret?
A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.
B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
C. She found no one willing to listen to her.
D. She wanted to obey her mother.
52. Why did Kerrel write the passage?
A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C. To draw people's attention to AIDS.
D. To remember her father.

It’s a safe bet that a robot made your car and made your computer. Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.
Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves.
What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more energy efficient.
A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the average family.
To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain---when these robots do come to our homes, it will change things forever.
53. According to the passage, robots can do the following things EXCEPT________.
A. cleaning floors
B. making cars
C. talking like people
D. making computers
54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Smaller robots are less energy efficient.
B. Roomba has been out of date
C. People will become lazier than before.
D. People’s demand contributes to new robots
55. The underlined part in the 2nd paragraph probably means________.
A. new robots will soon come into people’s homes.
B. new robots can fly by themselves .
C. robot products are cheaper and cheaper
D. new robots have more functions than old ones
56. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Robots will soon be on sale
B. Robots are in great demand
C. Robots are coming into our families.
D. Robots help us a lot

“Life is speeding up. Everyone is becoming unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unwell person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the telephone is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done.
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps that is because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons, Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being
a trendy, been-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.
57. The passage is mainly about ____________.
A. problems with technology
B. improvements in our lives caused by technology
C. changes happening to technology
D. the importance of technology
58. The writer uses the quote(引语) at the beginning of the story to____________.
A. tell us the truth about life
B. tell us what life was like a long time ago
C. point out what causes such a thing to happen
D. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same
59.The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because______________.
A. they loved to live simple lives
B. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions
C. they were troubled by modern inventions
D. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
60. What does the word “available” in the suggestion offered by the writer mean?
A. Busy online
B. Free
C. Be able to
D. Be found by others.
