（A）
They can run all day. They never complain and if they demand a pay rise you can just remove their batteries： many premiership managers must dream of having a robotic （机器人的） football player.
In fact， robotics researchers believe that by 2050 a robotic football team will take to the field that will be able to defeat the current human world champions.
It’s an ambitious goal which sounds more like science fiction than reality—but the plan to develop the robotic equivalent of Brazil is already well on its way.
This week， teams of robots from all over the world are taking part in Robocop 2007—the robotic football World Cup.
This year the event is taking place at Georgia Tech University in the US for the biggest ever demonstration of robotic football prowess.
While they might not have the guile or pace of Wayne Rooney just yet， shorelines that stretched into double figures proves that these robot-soccer stars certainly have a grasp of the game’s fundamentals.
The groups ranged from the “Humanoid League” right through to robots so small they can only be seen with a microscope in the inaugural “Nana-Cup”.
For robots to play football， various technologies have been developed including artificial intelligence so the robots know who to pass to and how best to defeat an opponent as well as sophisticated robotics and sensors. After the fun and games of the Robocop is over， the technologies developed for scoring winning goals is then transferred to a number of other more useful applications such as developing robots that can be used in search and rescue in large scale disaster.
1. The first paragraph is mainly about ____.
A. the features of robotic football players
B. a part of an interesting science fiction
C. a report on a football game in a newspaper
D. a scene of the 2007 Women’s Football World Cup
2. The INCORRECT description on Robocop 2007 is ____.
A. it will be held in Georgia Tech University in the US
B. robots from a few countries have joined in the festival
C. robotic football players have ever achieved best
D. the sizes of robotic football players are different
3. What do the scores of the robot-soccer stars prove？
A. Robot-soccer stars are equal to football players in skills.
B. Robot-soccer stars will defeat the human world champions.
C. Robot-soccer stars understand the basic knowledge of the game.
D. Robot-soccer stars have the pace of the famous stars.
4. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ____.
A. robots can be used to search for and save victims in accidents
B. the advanced robots can defeat other players in a game
C. the robots with artificial intelligence know how to pass balls
D. the technology developed for robots can be used in other fields
（B）
Instead of hitting the beach， fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.
The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A & M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funhouse， academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management， directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential.
Several considerations go into selecting students， including grades， school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts. Funhouse says， “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they would never have a chance to do in high school.” Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes. His adviser， Craig Coates， studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.
The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It’s “molecular （分子） science on the cutting edge，” Funhouse says. The program broadened students’ knowledge. Victor Garcia of Racial of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.
At the end of the program， the students presented papers on their research. They’re also paid $600 for their work—another way this program differs from others， which often charges a fee.
Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun， that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.
5. The research program is chiefly designed for ____.
A. high school advisers from Houston
B. college students majoring in agriculture
C. high school students from different places
D. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
6. It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas ____.
A. found the program useful to their future
B. could often take part in the program
C. had little chance to go to college
D. showed much interest in their high school experiments
7. When the program was over， the students ____.
A. entered that college B. wrote research reports
C. paid for their research D. found ways to make money
8. What would be the best title for the passage？
A. A Program for Agricultural Science Students
B. A Program for Animal Science Students
C. A Program for Medical Science Lovers
D. A Program for Future Science Lovers
（C）
Has it come to this？ Robots standing in for doctors at the hospital patients’ bedside？
Not exactly， but some doctors have found a way to use a robot to check on patients while they’re miles from the hospital.
One is at Baltimore’s Sinai Hospital. Equipped with cameras， a screen and microphone， the robot is guided into the rooms of Dr. Alex Grandmas’ patients where he speaks to them as if he were right there.
“The system allows you to be anywhere in the hospital from anywhere in the world，” said the surgeon， who specializes in weight-loss operation.
Besides his normal morning and afternoon personal visits， Grandmas uses the $150，000 robot to visit patients at night or when problems arise. The robot can circle the bed and adjust the position of its two cameras， giving the perception from the patient’s standpoint that the doctor is there. “They love it. They’d rather see me through the robot，” he said of his patients’ reaction to the machine. Nurse Florence Ford， who has worked with the robot since it was introduced about 18 months ago， said patients have reacted well， particularly because “seeing the doctor’s face gives them confidence.”
Grandmas presented the idea to hospital leaders as a method to more closely observe patients following weight-loss operation. Since its introduction， Dr. Alex found that nearly one third of his 376 patients went out of hospital earlier than first expected.
Michael Chan， president of In Touch Technologies， said his company’s device allows doctors to “be in more than one place at the same time.”
Speaking with Grandmas through one of the robots at company headquarters， Chan said the company designs applications for the devices in remote areas and for dealing with shortages of health care workers. “They will soon be big，” said Chan when asked about their future.
9. According to Dr. Alex， the purpose of using robots in the hospital is that ____.
A. robots can provide patients more fun than doctors
B. patients will be closely watched after being operated on
C. robots can free doctors from their great work pressure
D. hospitals can solve the problem of lacking medical workers
10. According to the passage， which of the following statements of the robot is CORRECT？
A. It has replaced Dr. Alex to visit his patients every day.
B. The patients would rather have it treat their diseases.
C. It has reduced the duty that doctors should have for their patients.
D. Patients are likely to be treated even when doctors are far away.
11. By using robots Dr. Alex finds that ____.
A. patients visited by robots may recover completely sooner
B. the number of patients in his hospital is reducing a lot
C. he can operate on different patients at the same time
D. their hospital doesn’t need as many medical workers as before
12. What would be the best title of the passage？
A. Robot Replaces Doctors to Treat Patients
B. Robot Visits Patients When Doctors Can’t
C. High-tech Makes Patients Better Communicate with Doctors
D. Robot Has Begun to Play a Great Part in Hospital Management
（D）
“One City One Book” is a generic name （通称） for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book. Popular book picks have been Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird， Ernest Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying， and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.
“One City One Book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city. The first such program was “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” in 1998， started by Nancy Pearl at Seattle Public Library’s Washington Center for the Book. The book chosen for the program was The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks， written in 1991. Other cities copied the idea， and the Library of Congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.
Each city’s program has its own goals; these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy. Nancy Pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“Keep in mind that this is a library program， it’s not an exercise in civics， and that it’s not intended to have literature cure the racial divide. This is about a work of literature.”
Programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book. Some other activities that have been included are： book discussion sessions， scholarly lectures on the book or related topics， a visit by the author， exhibits， related arts programming （especially showing a movie of the book if there is one）， and integration into school curricula. In Boston the “One City One Story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.
American Library Association puts out a detailed step-by-step guide on how to organize a local program， including the critical step of picking the one book. The Center for the Book at the Library of Congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.
13. Where does the “One City One Book” idea come from？
__________________________________
14. What is the book chosen for the first program？
__________________________________
15. What kind of role does American Library Association play in the programs？

II. 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。（5分）
The Most Direct Solution to Any Problem
When trying to solve various problems in life， an approach I find very useful is to first identify what I’d consider the most direct solution， regardless of how I feel about actually implementing （实施） it. What is the clearest， most direct path to my goal or the most efficient way to get around an obstacle？
Many problems will have multiple direct solutions，but often these solutions will be unpleasant at first glance because they’ll require courage， self-discipline， creativity， or persistence to implement. _1_
For example， suppose you want to lose weight. And suppose we can say that one of direct solutions is to eat the same as you’re eating now and increase your exercise output by 500 calories a day. _2_ It may require discipline and persistence， but most people would agree that it will work if you follow through.
Another example： _3_ However， you don’t know how that person feels about you. One direct solution would be to simply walk up， explain your thoughts and feelings， and ask if she or he is interested in discussing the possibility of a closer relationship. This will take less than a minute to say， and whatever the outcome is， at least you know where you stand. _4_ Anyhow it’s very simple and straightforward.
_5_ What’s the simplest and quickest way to reach your goal， assuming that you had limitless courage and discipline？
A. Of course this solution may require a lot of courage to overcome the possibility of rejection.
B. But if we can get ourselves to follow through， we know the solutions will actually work.
C. See if you can identify the most direct solution to some of your problems.
D. So the best way to overcome the difficulty is to ask your friends for advice.
E. If you implement this rather simple solution， you’ll lose weight.
F. Suppose you’re interested in starting a relationship with someone.
G. However， the solution implemented does not work.

I. 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。（30分）
The concept of solitude （独处） in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology， e-mail， social networking and online video games， information is meant to be _1_. Solitude can be hard to discover _2_ it has been given up. In this respect， new technologies have _3_ our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a（n） _4_ as we’ve known it. People have become so _5_ in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted _6_ they’d rather not be. Today we can talk， text， e-mail， chat and blog （写博客）， not only from our _7_ but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become _8_ on digital technology simply because they’ve grown accustomed to it， and at this point not _9_ it would make them an outsider. _10_， many jobs and careers require people to be _11_. From this point of view， technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a _12_ to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who _13_ wants puters can be shut _14_ and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many _15_， as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up _16_ on mountains， and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel
_17_ and forced to answer unwanted calls or _18_ to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society _19_ across generations. Some find today’s technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone’s view on the subject， it’s hard to imagine what life would be like _20_ daily advancements in technology.

Our future life
With the fast development of science and technology， people are living a better and better life. Maybe in the future， we’ll not live on the earth， but in the undersea city. We needn’t get up so early just in order to get to school on time. Instead， we can just listen to the teacher at home with the help of television or broadcast. We will have enough time to enjoy our life since we needn’t do housework any more—the robot will do that. Besides， we can buy whatever we want without going to the shop in person only if we use the videophone. And when we have a long holiday， we can drive our own flying car to travel anywhere， such as the moon or the Mars.
It’s really worth looking forward to！

（A）
They can run all day. They never complain and if they demand a pay rise you can just remove their batteries： many premiership managers must dream of having a robotic （机器人的） football player.
In fact， robotics researchers believe that by 2050 a robotic football team will take to the field that will be able to defeat the current human world champions.
It’s an ambitious goal which sounds more like science fiction than reality—but the plan to develop the robotic equivalent of Brazil is already well on its way.
This week， teams of robots from all over the world are taking part in Robocop 2007—the robotic football World Cup.
This year the event is taking place at Georgia Tech University in the US for the biggest ever demonstration of robotic football prowess.
While they might not have the guile or pace of Wayne Rooney just yet， shorelines that stretched into double figures proves that these robot-soccer stars certainly have a grasp of the game’s fundamentals.
The groups ranged from the “Humanoid League” right through to robots so small they can only be seen with a microscope in the inaugural “Nana-Cup”.
For robots to play football， various technologies have been developed including artificial intelligence so the robots know who to pass to and how best to defeat an opponent as well as sophisticated robotics and sensors. After the fun and games of the Robocop is over， the technologies developed for scoring winning goals is then transferred to a number of other more useful applications such as developing robots that can be used in search and rescue in large scale disaster.
1. The first paragraph is mainly about ____.
A. the features of robotic football players
B. a part of an interesting science fiction
C. a report on a football game in a newspaper
D. a scene of the 2007 Women’s Football World Cup
2. The INCORRECT description on Robocop 2007 is ____.
A. it will be held in Georgia Tech University in the US
B. robots from a few countries have joined in the festival
C. robotic football players have ever achieved best
D. the sizes of robotic football players are different
3. What do the scores of the robot-soccer stars prove？
A. Robot-soccer stars are equal to football players in skills.
B. Robot-soccer stars will defeat the human world champions.
C. Robot-soccer stars understand the basic knowledge of the game.
D. Robot-soccer stars have the pace of the famous stars.
4. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ____.
A. robots can be used to search for and save victims in accidents
B. the advanced robots can defeat other players in a game
C. the robots with artificial intelligence know how to pass balls
D. the technology developed for robots can be used in other fields
（B）
Instead of hitting the beach， fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.
The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A & M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funhouse， academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management， directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential.
Several considerations go into selecting students， including grades， school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts. Funhouse says， “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they would never have a chance to do in high school.” Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes. His adviser， Craig Coates， studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.
The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It’s “molecular （分子） science on the cutting edge，” Funhouse says. The program broadened students’ knowledge. Victor Garcia of Racial of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.
At the end of the program， the students presented papers on their research. They’re also paid $600 for their work—another way this program differs from others， which often charges a fee.
Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun， that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.
5. The research program is chiefly designed for ____.
A. high school advisers from Houston
B. college students majoring in agriculture
C. high school students from different places
D. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
6. It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas ____.
A. found the program useful to their future
B. could often take part in the program
C. had little chance to go to college
D. showed much interest in their high school experiments
7. When the program was over， the students ____.
A. entered that college B. wrote research reports
C. paid for their research D. found ways to make money
8. What would be the best title for the passage？
A. A Program for Agricultural Science Students
B. A Program for Animal Science Students
C. A Program for Medical Science Lovers
D. A Program for Future Science Lovers
（C）
Has it come to this？ Robots standing in for doctors at the hospital patients’ bedside？
Not exactly， but some doctors have found a way to use a robot to check on patients while they’re miles from the hospital.
One is at Baltimore’s Sinai Hospital. Equipped with cameras， a screen and microphone， the robot is guided into the rooms of Dr. Alex Grandmas’ patients where he speaks to them as if he were right there.
“The system allows you to be anywhere in the hospital from anywhere in the world，” said the surgeon， who specializes in weight-loss operation.
Besides his normal morning and afternoon personal visits， Grandmas uses the $150，000 robot to visit patients at night or when problems arise. The robot can circle the bed and adjust the position of its two cameras， giving the perception from the patient’s standpoint that the doctor is there. “They love it. They’d rather see me through the robot，” he said of his patients’ reaction to the machine. Nurse Florence Ford， who has worked with the robot since it was introduced about 18 months ago， said patients have reacted well， particularly because “seeing the doctor’s face gives them confidence.”
Grandmas presented the idea to hospital leaders as a method to more closely observe patients following weight-loss operation. Since its introduction， Dr. Alex found that nearly one third of his 376 patients went out of hospital earlier than first expected.
Michael Chan， president of In Touch Technologies， said his company’s device allows doctors to “be in more than one place at the same time.”
Speaking with Grandmas through one of the robots at company headquarters， Chan said the company designs applications for the devices in remote areas and for dealing with shortages of health care workers. “They will soon be big，” said Chan when asked about their future.
9. According to Dr. Alex， the purpose of using robots in the hospital is that ____.
A. robots can provide patients more fun than doctors
B. patients will be closely watched after being operated on
C. robots can free doctors from their great work pressure
D. hospitals can solve the problem of lacking medical workers
10. According to the passage， which of the following statements of the robot is CORRECT？
A. It has replaced Dr. Alex to visit his patients every day.
B. The patients would rather have it treat their diseases.
C. It has reduced the duty that doctors should have for their patients.
D. Patients are likely to be treated even when doctors are far away.
11. By using robots Dr. Alex finds that ____.
A. patients visited by robots may recover completely sooner
B. the number of patients in his hospital is reducing a lot
C. he can operate on different patients at the same time
D. their hospital doesn’t need as many medical workers as before
12. What would be the best title of the passage？
A. Robot Replaces Doctors to Treat Patients
B. Robot Visits Patients When Doctors Can’t
C. High-tech Makes Patients Better Communicate with Doctors
D. Robot Has Begun to Play a Great Part in Hospital Management
（D）
“One City One Book” is a generic name （通称） for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book. Popular book picks have been Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird， Ernest Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying， and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.
“One City One Book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city. The first such program was “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” in 1998， started by Nancy Pearl at Seattle Public Library’s Washington Center for the Book. The book chosen for the program was The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks， written in 1991. Other cities copied the idea， and the Library of Congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.
Each city’s program has its own goals; these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy. Nancy Pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“Keep in mind that this is a library program， it’s not an exercise in civics， and that it’s not intended to have literature cure the racial divide. This is about a work of literature.”
Programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book. Some other activities that have been included are： book discussion sessions， scholarly lectures on the book or related topics， a visit by the author， exhibits， related arts programming （especially showing a movie of the book if there is one）， and integration into school curricula. In Boston the “One City One Story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.
American Library Association puts out a detailed step-by-step guide on how to organize a local program， including the critical step of picking the one book. The Center for the Book at the Library of Congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.
13. Where does the “One City One Book” idea come from？
__________________________________
14. What is the book chosen for the first program？
__________________________________
15. What kind of role does American Library Association play in the programs？

The Most Direct Solution to Any Problem
When trying to solve various problems in life， an approach I find very useful is to first identify what I’d consider the most direct solution， regardless of how I feel about actually implementing （实施） it. What is the clearest， most direct path to my goal or the most efficient way to get around an obstacle？
Many problems will have multiple direct solutions，but often these solutions will be unpleasant at first glance because they’ll require courage， self-discipline， creativity， or persistence to implement. _1_
For example， suppose you want to lose weight. And suppose we can say that one of direct solutions is to eat the same as you’re eating now and increase your exercise output by 500 calories a day. _2_ It may require discipline and persistence， but most people would agree that it will work if you follow through.
Another example： _3_ However， you don’t know how that person feels about you. One direct solution would be to simply walk up， explain your thoughts and feelings， and ask if she or he is interested in discussing the possibility of a closer relationship. This will take less than a minute to say， and whatever the outcome is， at least you know where you stand. _4_ Anyhow it’s very simple and straightforward.
_5_ What’s the simplest and quickest way to reach your goal， assuming that you had limitless courage and discipline？
A. Of course this solution may require a lot of courage to overcome the possibility of rejection.
B. But if we can get ourselves to follow through， we know the solutions will actually work.
C. See if you can identify the most direct solution to some of your problems.
D. So the best way to overcome the difficulty is to ask your friends for advice.
E. If you implement this rather simple solution， you’ll lose weight.
F. Suppose you’re interested in starting a relationship with someone.
G. However， the solution implemented does not work.

The concept of solitude （独处） in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology， e-mail， social networking and online video games， information is meant to be _1_. Solitude can be hard to discover _2_ it has been given up. In this respect， new technologies have _3_ our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a（n） _4_ as we’ve known it. People have become so _5_ in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted _6_ they’d rather not be. Today we can talk， text， e-mail， chat and blog （写博客）， not only from our _7_ but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become _8_ on digital technology simply because they’ve grown accustomed to it， and at this point not _9_ it would make them an outsider. _10_， many jobs and careers require people to be _11_. From this point of view， technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a _12_ to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who _13_ wants puters can be shut _14_ and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many _15_， as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up _16_ on mountains， and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel
_17_ and forced to answer unwanted calls or _18_ to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society _19_ across generations. Some find today’s technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone’s view on the subject， it’s hard to imagine what life would be like _20_ daily advancements in technology.

Our future life
With the fast development of science and technology， people are living a better and better life. Maybe in the future， we’ll not live on the earth， but in the undersea city. We needn’t get up so early just in order to get to school on time. Instead， we can just listen to the teacher at home with the help of television or broadcast. We will have enough time to enjoy our life since we needn’t do housework any more—the robot will do that. Besides， we can buy whatever we want without going to the shop in person only if we use the videophone. And when we have a long holiday， we can drive our own flying car to travel anywhere， such as the moon or the Mars.
It’s really worth looking forward to！
