A
Independence days around the world
Order and progress in Brazil
In one of the most peaceful Latin American revolutions, Brazil won its freedom after Portuguese prince Dom Pedro Ⅰ declared it independent of his father's rule on September 7th, 1822.
Pakistani pride
A boldly painted youth cheers for independence in front of the national flag in Wagah, a Pakistani town near India. At midnight on August 15th, 1947, the Indian Independence Act unseated (罢免) the British Raj and established the two countries. Islamic Pakistan now celebrates its freedom on August 14th, which is also a Muslim holy day.
Indonesian determination
The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence on August 17th, 1945 threw the country into four years of war with the Netherlands, which Indonesia won in 1949. Celebratory customs include the release of hundreds of green turtles (海龟) into the ocean from Bali's Kuta Beach, and panjat pinang, a game in which a pole is set up, covered with oily clay (黏土) and hung with bicycles, televisions and other prizes. Whoever climbs all the way to the top wins, though people often work together to split the prize.
Whimsical skies in Colombia
After protesters took to Bogota's streets on July 20th, 1810, the Spanish governor acknowledged a limited independence that eventually gave way to full sovereignty (主权) in 1819. Colourful hot air balloon shows have previously been in honor of Colombia's quest for freedom, and folk dancing, flag raising ceremonies and traditional food such as corn cakes are also staples (主要内容) of the day.

I was very excited on the first day of high school! I had P．E. for the first period. We hurriedly gathered in the locker room (衣帽间) when the headmaster began to speak, “Good morning, boys and girls! Welcome to the first day of the great new school year. We will begin with the pledge (誓言) of loyalty.”
I pulled my shirt over my head and my right hand immediately rested over my heart. A few tears came to my eyes as every time I pledged. I thought of my grandpa. He had died almost a year before, but I still missed him every day. Grandpa served in World War Ⅱ and the flag had a very special meaning for him.
The next morning in the locker room, I noticed something strange. Some girls talked through the pledge. In the morning after that, even fewer did the pledge, including the teachers. By the second week of school, I was the only girl in the whole locker room that did the pledge.
The next morning, I hid in the bathroom to change clothes and pledge. There I couldn't see the flag and felt guilty to be hiding like that. I kept hiding for the next week and felt worse.
I spent a weekend gathering up my nerve. On Monday, I changed into my gym clothes right away and was standing by my locker when the headmaster began morning announcements. The pledge started and I put my hand over my heart.
A girl nearby locked her locker and asked, “Why are you doing that？” She looked confused.
“My grandpa fought in World War Ⅱ and he died last year，” I said. “I'm doing it for him.”
She felt embarrassed and looked away. “Oh，” she said.
Over the next few weeks, more girls questioned me about the pledge. I gave them all that same answer.
I never inspired other girls to do the pledge along with me. They made a choice; I made mine. I was doing it for Grandpa, but more than that, I was doing it for myself. Grandpa raised me to be proud of my country and that pride didn't stop.
4．How did other students behave during later pledge periods
A．They gradually quit the pledge.
B．They continued to show curiosity.
C．They did the pledge with sincerity.
D．They made fun of those who did the pledge.
5．How did I feel about hiding in the bathroom for the pledge
A．Happy.　　　　　　B．Excited.
C．Guilty. D．Nervous.
6．The author did the pledge every day because ________．
A．the flag had a special meaning for her
B．the headmaster required her to do so
C．all the teachers and students did that
D．it was a way to show love for her grandpa
7．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The first day at school
B．My grandpa
C．The secret in the locker room
D．The pledge of loyalty
C
A delightful looking robot called MEDi, or Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence, is being used to help make doctors' visits less painful.
The Alberta Children's Hospital in Canada purchased four of the MEDi robots earlier this year. The bionic (仿生学的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to RxRobots, the group that created MEDi. The MEDi's purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. The robots have produced real results. According to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a MEDi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medical procedures than those who do not. “Parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot，” Tanya Beran, founder and chief scientific officer at RxRobots, told CNBC of MEDi's success at the children's hospital.
The two foot tall robots can relieve patients' anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. MEDi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (能力). The robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. Not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.
“Our research shows that when children interact with MEDi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure，” Beran said. “This means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率)．” Beran said that MEDi robots are also a hit with parents. “Knowing that there is something out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great，” Sheila Sousa, the mother of an 8 year old patient said.
8．MEDi robots are mainly used to ________．
A．help foreign patients communicate with doctors
B．assist doctors in completing medical procedures
C．take kids to the hospital if their parents are busy
D．make kids feel less pain during medical procedures
9．The underlined word “relieve” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．cause B．reduce
C．increase D．remove
10．We can learn from the passage that MEDi ________．
A．is bad looking
B．is one foot tall
C．can recognize faces
D．can only speak English
11．Where does the passage probably come from
A．A travel guide.
B．A science magazine.
C．A book review.
D．A storybook.

George Harrison, one member of the Beatles, reached No. 1 with a song, My Sweet Lord. But his sweet time at the top was short lived. Within a month, a lawsuit was filed (提出诉讼). Harrison's song shared a melody (曲子) with the 1963 hit song by the Chiffons, He's So Fine. Judge Richard Owen ruled that Harrison was guilty. But he said Harrison's theft wasn't intentional; it was accidental.
Psychologist Dan Gilbert calls this kleptomnesia: generating (产生) an idea that you believe is new, but in fact is created by someone else. It's accidental plagiarism (剽窃), and it's all too common in creative work. Psychologists Alan Brown and Dana Murphy invited people to brainstorm in groups of four. They took turns generating lists of sports, clothes or four legged animals. Next, the participants were asked to write down the four ideas that they personally generated for each category. Alarmingly, a full 75 percent of participants unintentionally plagiarized, claiming they generated an idea that was in fact offered by another member of their group. And later, the participants wrote down four new ideas for each category. The majority wrote down at least one idea that had already been generated by another group member — usually the group member who had generated ideas immediately before them.
Kleptomnesia happens due to a feature of how people's memory is connected. When we get information, we tend to pay more attention to the content than the source. Once we accept a piece of information as true, we no longer need to worry about where we acquired it. It's especially difficult to remember the source of information when we're busy or working on a complex task. And the more our attention is divided, the less we notice who is responsible for the ideas that get raised.
12．Who was charged with plagiarism
A．Dan Gilbert. B．George Harrison.
C．Alan Brown D．Richard Owen.
13．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________．
A．people plagiarize unintentionally very often
B．kleptomnesia is not common in creative work
C．accidental plagiarism is acceptable in creative work
D．kleptomnesia can be regarded as intentional plagiarism
14．Kleptomnesia happens because people ________．
A．make the most of the feature of their memory
B．focus less on the source than the content
C．are busy working on many complex tasks
D．worry about the reality of information
15．The author's purpose of writing the passage is to ________．
A．define the term “plagiarism”
B．warn people not to plagiarize
C．show Harrison's achievement
D．explain how kleptomnesia happens
Ⅱ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
Why People Who Take Notes All the Time Are
More Likely to Be Successful
Note taking is an essential skill in many areas of work and study. But is note taking really useful in helping us to understand, remember, and retrieve (重新获得) essential points when we most need them 16.________ Here are four reasons note takers are on the fast track to success：
17．________ The action of writing information down is a great way to get fully involved in the learning process. Note takers are much more actively involved because they are processing the information and getting the essential facts down.
They understand the importance of remembering the information. Students need to remember all relevant information when faced with an exam question. A speaker may not have their notes at hand but will still have a better chance of actually remembering the facts if they have spared the time to prepare notes. 18.________ Howe in 1970 found that students who had taken notes were seven times more likely to remember facts a week later than those who had not.
They do not rely on getting others' notes. Lots of students love asking the lecturers for a copy of their notes and with PowerPoint and other software, this can be easily done. 19.________ These students are not going to be very successful in school if they do this all the time.
They know that taking notes helps them achieve their goals. 20.________ There are quite a few studies not showing that the actual process of taking notes helps people to boost (推进) their learning and also achieve their goals. Researchers at the Dominican University of California have discovered that writing down goals and sharing them are crucial (至关重要的) in helping people to achieve their aims.
A．Research backs this up.
B．They are actively learning.
C．This is no accident or coincidence.
D．They know how to prepare for note taking.
E．But the results for the students are not very good.
F．Naturally, it does depend a lot on the subject matter.
G．The answer is yes, although individual styles and methods may vary.
