There are three of us in the laboratory, a robot named Jules, Dr. Leo-nards and me. Dr. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules.

The study of these issues 7 (become) the frontier (前沿) of a new scientific topic, human-robot interaction.
Jules is built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions 8 can be experienced by a human. “Such research is becoming increasingly important,” says Dr. Leonards, “partly 9 our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can 10 (easy) interact.” And she also says, “In a few years’ time, we’ll have a serious problem, and we won’t have enough ability to handle properly.”

Peter Onruang, a Hollywood businessman, has paid $310,000 to clone his best friend Wolfie, a lovely dog. He said, “Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, ‘Hi, I’m making a new body for you.’”
Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio, which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs’ stem cells (干细胞), and then he started a website MyFriendAgain.com, so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost.
The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble. When the cloning process is done, Onruang may end up with several clones of each dog. But Onruang admits he’s still not sure that they will be exactly the same.
Scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, in 1996 in Scotland. That project has raised ethical (伦理的) questions about where science should draw the line. Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.
“If I had an opportunity to clone myself, I would do it readily,” Onruang said. “Because it’s me, I’m raising myself. I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I’ve always wanted to live.”

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the great minds in Italian Renaissance. Like many leaders of Renaissance humanism, Leonardo didn’t see a divide between science and art. His observations and inventions were recorded in about 13,000 pages of notes and drawings, including designs for flying machines, war machinery, plant studies, anatomy (解剖) and architecture, etc.
Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci. He learned from the sculptor (雕塑家) and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence at an early age. In 1478, Leonardo became an independent master. In 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From 1495 to 1497 he produced a painting—The Last Supper, through which he got the world’s attention.
Leonardo was in Milan until the city was ruled by the French in 1499, which made him return to Florence. During that time, he painted several portraits (肖像), and the only one that survived was the famous Mona Lisa.
In 1506, Leonardo moved to Milan, remaining there until 1513. This was followed by three years in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French King Francis I, Leonardo moved to the Chateau of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on May 2, 1519.
The fame of Leonardo’s surviving paintings means that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks show his brilliant talents in other fields. His true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two—an “artist-engineer”. His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science knowledge was expressed through art, and his drawings show how he understood the world.
38. Which of the following shows the right order of Leonardo’s experiences?
a. He learned from Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence.
b. He painted his famous portrait named Mona Lisa.
c. He was invited to France by Francis I.
d. He served the ruling Sforza family.
A. a, d, b, c B. a, b, c, d C. a, c, b, d D. a, c, d, b
39. Leonardo returned to Florence in 1499 because .
A. Milan which he stayed in was seized by the French
B. he missed the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio
C. Florence could offer many materials for his paintings
D. he didn’t want to work for the ruling Sforza family any more
40. Which of the following is TRUE about Leonardo?
A. He was only regarded as a gifted artist.
B. He got a lot of support and help from his father.
C. His work The Last Supper made him famous.
D. He joined the army to fight against the French in 1499.
41. What does the word “artist-engineer” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Leonardo is more a scientist than an artist.
B. Leonardo’s scientific knowledge greatly helped him.
C. Leonardo turned to engineering after he became an artist.
D. Leonardo combined science and art together.
D
Celebrities (名流) can usually afford a nice home, a comfortable bed and tasty food. But last Thursday, Arlene Dickinson and Brian Burke slept outside on the ground in only sleeping bags. That night, the temperature dropped to 0℃.
Dickinson is one of the “dragons” from BBC’s Dragon’s Den, a show in which several candidates present their business ideas to a panel of five wealthy investors, the “Dragons”, and ask for their financial investment. Burke is the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. Both of them have plenty of money and can afford nice accommodations. They were “sleeping rough” to help raise money for Covenant House, an organization which provides shelters for homeless kids in Toronto and other big Canadian cities.
During the long cold night, Dickinson couldn’t stay warm and she eventually gave up her idea to sleep. She said, “I think staying awake was a good choice at that night. I felt really terrible from concrete (混凝土) after just a few hours. Imagine how kids feel after weeks on street.” She also complained that listening to Brian Burke’s snore (打鼾) that night was really terrible.
There are about 10,000 homeless kids who have to live on the street at some time during the year in Toronto, according to a report from Covenant House. The organization helps about 3,500 homeless kids every year.
The “sleep out” program brought business leaders, celebrities and politicians to the street for one night. The fundraising (筹款) event took place in Toronto, Vancouver and 10 other Covenant House locations in Canada and the US.
The goal of the campaign was to raise money for homeless kids. The Toronto event raised more than $530,000 for Covenant House, more than twice the amount they’d hoped to raise. Across North America, totally more than $2.5-million was raised.
42. Both Dickinson and Burke are successful in .
A. playing games B. giving surprises
C. making jokes D. doing business
43. By sleeping outside on the street, Dickinson and Burke .
A. wanted to remind people that earning money is difficult
B. wanted to find the differences between the wealthy and the poor
C. wanted to save money for their family
D. wanted to attract people’s attention and raise money for the homeless kids
44. What’s mainly talked about in the third paragraph?
A. Dickinson’s feelings of sleeping on the street.
B. Reasons for Dickinson’s sleeping on the street.
C. Dickinson’s technique of sleeping better on the street.
D. The importance of improving sleeping environment.
45. Which of the following can be concluded from this text?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of himself.
C. News reports can make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

A complaint letter
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing today to complain of the poor service I received from your company on February 12, 2013. I was visited by a representative of That Awful Company, Mr. Madman, at my home on that day. 46
Mr. Madman was one hour late for his appointment. 47 Your representative did not remove his muddy shoes upon entering my house, and therefore left a trail of dirt in the hallway (走廊). Mr. Madman then began to introduce a range of products to me that I had specifically told his assistant by telephone that I was not interested in. I repeatedly tried to ask your representative about the products that were of interest to me, but he refused to deal with my questions. 48
I am fairly angry that I wasted a morning waiting for Mr. Madman to show up. 49 My impression of That Awful Company has been damaged because of this. I am now concerned about how my existing business is being managed by your firm. Furthermore, Mr. Madman’s inability to remove his muddy shoes means that I have to hire a professional carpet cleaner to clean the carpet.
I believe that this is not the way That Awful Company wishes to conduct business with valued customers. I have been with you since the company was founded. 50 I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the matter further and to learn of how you plan to prevent a similar situation from happening again. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Angry
A. And I have never got such terrible treatment before.
B. Obviously, I am not the only one that this happened to.
C. Actually, I should have spent the morning on my vacation.
D. His improper behaviors resulted in the failure of our talks.
E. He offered nothing by way of apology or explanation when he arrived at noon.
F. It is hard to believe that companies are still doing business in this way.
G. We ended our meeting after 25 minutes without either of us having achieved anything.

In 1506, Leonardo moved to Milan, remaining there until 1513. This was followed by three years in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French King Francis I, Leonardo moved to the Chateau of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on May 2, 1519.
The fame of Leonardo’s surviving paintings means that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks show his brilliant talents in other fields. His true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two—an “artist-engineer”. His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science knowledge was expressed through art, and his drawings show how he understood the world.

a. He learned from Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence.
b. He painted his famous portrait named Mona Lisa.
c. He was invited to France by Francis I.

A. Milan which he stayed in was seized by the French
B. he missed the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio

A. He was only regarded as a gifted artist.
B. He got a lot of support and help from his father.

Celebrities (名流) can usually afford a nice home, a comfortable bed and tasty food. But last Thursday, Arlene Dickinson and Brian Burke slept outside on the ground in only sleeping bags. That night, the temperature dropped to 0℃.
Dickinson is one of the “dragons” from BBC’s Dragon’s Den, a show in which several candidates present their business ideas to a panel of five wealthy investors, the “Dragons”, and ask for their financial investment. Burke is the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. Both of them have plenty of money and can afford nice accommodations. They were “sleeping rough” to help raise money for Covenant House, an organization which provides shelters for homeless kids in Toronto and other big Canadian cities.
During the long cold night, Dickinson couldn’t stay warm and she eventually gave up her idea to sleep. She said, “I think staying awake was a good choice at that night. I felt really terrible from concrete (混凝土) after just a few hours. Imagine how kids feel after weeks on street.” She also complained that listening to Brian Burke’s snore (打鼾) that night was really terrible.
There are about 10,000 homeless kids who have to live on the street at some time during the year in Toronto, according to a report from Covenant House. The organization helps about 3,500 homeless kids every year.
The “sleep out” program brought business leaders, celebrities and politicians to the street for one night. The fundraising (筹款) event took place in Toronto, Vancouver and 10 other Covenant House locations in Canada and the US.
The goal of the campaign was to raise money for homeless kids. The Toronto event raised more than $530,000 for Covenant House, more than twice the amount they’d hoped to raise. Across North America, totally more than $2.5-million was raised.
42. Both Dickinson and Burke are successful in .
A. playing games B. giving surprises
C. making jokes D. doing business
43. By sleeping outside on the street, Dickinson and Burke .
A. wanted to remind people that earning money is difficult
B. wanted to find the differences between the wealthy and the poor
C. wanted to save money for their family
D. wanted to attract people’s attention and raise money for the homeless kids
44. What’s mainly talked about in the third paragraph?
A. Dickinson’s feelings of sleeping on the street.
B. Reasons for Dickinson’s sleeping on the street.
C. Dickinson’s technique of sleeping better on the street.
D. The importance of improving sleeping environment.
45. Which of the following can be concluded from this text?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of himself.
C. News reports can make people famous.

A complaint letter
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing today to complain of the poor service I received from your company on February 12, 2013. I was visited by a representative of That Awful Company, Mr. Madman, at my home on that day. 46
Mr. Madman was one hour late for his appointment. 47 Your representative did not remove his muddy shoes upon entering my house, and therefore left a trail of dirt in the hallway (走廊). Mr. Madman then began to introduce a range of products to me that I had specifically told his assistant by telephone that I was not interested in. I repeatedly tried to ask your representative about the products that were of interest to me, but he refused to deal with my questions. 48
I am fairly angry that I wasted a morning waiting for Mr. Madman to show up. 49 My impression of That Awful Company has been damaged because of this. I am now concerned about how my existing business is being managed by your firm. Furthermore, Mr. Madman’s inability to remove his muddy shoes means that I have to hire a professional carpet cleaner to clean the carpet.
I believe that this is not the way That Awful Company wishes to conduct business with valued customers. I have been with you since the company was founded. 50 I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the matter further and to learn of how you plan to prevent a similar situation from happening again. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Angry
A. And I have never got such terrible treatment before.
B. Obviously, I am not the only one that this happened to.
C. Actually, I should have spent the morning on my vacation.
D. His improper behaviors resulted in the failure of our talks.
E. He offered nothing by way of apology or explanation when he arrived at noon.
F. It is hard to believe that companies are still doing business in this way.
G. We ended our meeting after 25 minutes without either of us having achieved anything.
