As we draw to the end of an academically and socially packed year, the idea of doing the same again is appealing.But after graduation, there’ll be few occasions when we can enjoy such extended holidays, free to do as we wish. So now that summer has arrived, let’s take full advantage. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling, especially if you avoid the pricey school holiday period.Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make the most of cheaper rates while you’re eligible. Finding a reliable company that won’t cheat you is extremely important, as is discovering a program that appeals to your own interests. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s recommendations.Of course for most of us, money is tight—but to avoid overspending you can combine employment and adventure. Hannah Warn, a psychology student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America, an increasingly popular venture where British students enjoy a good time on a summer camp.“Being thrown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting.” she says.“It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair. The work may be challenging, but it’s a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.If you have an idea about the sort of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree to show for your three or four years just won’t make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as po ssible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.24.The author intends to tell us in the passage .A. ways to make money in summerB. good memories of the school daysC. stress goes away during the summer holidaysD. tips on how to spend the summer vacation25.The passage implies that .A. students can enjoy beneficial price when travelingB. students who quit school should pay more for travelC. students will be offered part time jobs in the vacationD. students will have a longer summer vacation than ever26.The underlined word “eligible” in the passage means .A. relaxedB. outstandingC. qualifiedD. standardized27.The author took Hannah Warn as an example to .A. suggest Camp America offers jobs to studentsB. show psychology students are good at planningC. indicate Camp America serves English studentsD. imply students can travel around for nothingCMost Americans use about 50 to 70 gallons of water each day in their homes. It is easy to waste water when you are not thinking about it. Make an effort to track how much water use when you brush your teeth, shower, cook, do your dishes, or clean your home, and look for ways to minimize water use at each step.About 10 percent of all the water used in your home is used in the kitchen, primarily for dishwashing, cooking, drinking, and cleaning. Here’s how to save water in each of those areas. A recent study made by researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany found that washing dishes with a dishwasher uses half the energy, one-sixth the water, and much less soap than washing dishes by hand. If you don’t have a dishwasher, or if you just like to wash your dishes by hand, minimize running water by filling one sink with soapy water and one with washing water.It’s important to drink a lot of water every day. Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator. This way you don’t have to run the tap to get a cool drink. Water helps remove toxins (毒素)from the body. Bottled water uses more energy and resources in its production and shipping than tap water, and it is often of similar quality. American s throw away about 22 million water bottles each year, increasing landfills as well as resources. And according to the Natural Resource Defe nse Council’s four-year study on the bottled water industry, water that comes from a bottle is not cleaner or safer than water that comes from the tap. In fact, their study found that at least 25 percent of bottled water is actually just bottled tap water. Save money and resources by carrying your own reusable bottle filled with tap water, inste ad.28. In the passage the author intends to .A. stress the importance of water in lifeB. give advice on how to save waterC. reminds us of the most water-wastingD. advise us to give up bottled water29. You can observe daily water consumption .A. to strengthen water-saving consciousnessB. to find ways to take place of waterC. to know how wasteful Americans areD. to calculate the total amount of water30. When washing dishes in your kitchen, .A. you must use a dishwasher to save waterB. you can avoid using soap on the dishesC. you’d better not let the tap run all the timeD. you should wash the dishes by hand31. The author thinks that .A. refrigerator is useful in saving waterB. running the tap too often means wasting waterC. water can stop toxins forming in the bodyD. all the bottled water is of poor qualityDNow a roboticist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Maja Mataris is leading a team that programs machines called socially assistive robots. Matari wants her team’s robots to help people who have diseases or physical disabilities. For example, a person with A lzheimer’s disease, which causes problems with memory and brain function, might need help with mental exercises. A person trying to regain the use of an arm after a stroke might need encouragement to keep doing helpful exercises. Because there are not enough people to provide all of the help that’s needed, Matari says,“Technology has to step in.”In one study, Matari’s team tested a robot with people recovering from a stroke. A stroke is caused by a broken blood vessel in the brain or a blood clot that prevents blood from flowing to the brain Small regions of cells die during a stroke. So afterward part of the body, like an arm, may become weak or numb. A patient has to keep exercising that arm to recover. Those exercises can be difficult and unpleasant, however.Matari and her colleagues programmed a knee-high robot to ask a patient to perform an exercise and to then monitor the patient’s movements. If the person actively used his or her arm, this robot would say encouraging things.The team tested the robot with six people actually recovering fro m a stroke. Patients tended to perform their exercise longer and follow instructions better when the robot was present than with no prompting.Next, the researchers tested whether the r obot’s personally affected how people responded to it. The robot could be directed to move in close, speak loudly and make forceful statements, su ch as“You can do it!”Other times, the researchers would program the robot to act more shyly. At these times, the robot kept a bit of a distance and softly offered gentle suggestions, such as“I know it’s hard, but remember it’s for your own good.”32.Matari and her team are developing robots that could be used widely .A. in medical fieldsB. in learning and teachingC. in saving people’s livesD. in helping people out of trouble33.By saying “Technology has to step in”, Matari probably means .A. the robots can take the place of human beings.B. the robots have to be used to help the disabilitiesC. technology has developed rapidlyD technology has entered our daily life34.According to the team’s study, the knee-high robot .A. could keep blood vessel from breakingB. benefited the person with a stoke a lotC. set a good example to the serious patientsD. forced the patients to do some tiring things35.Why could unhealthy people keep exercising for a longer time than usual?A. Because they were very strong.B. Because moving pencils interested them.C. Because the robot offered its kindness to them.D. Because the robot’s words encouraged them.第二部分根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
