Ⅲ.阅读理解
Many people think of robots that think and act like humans as the stuff of the future or characters in science fiction movies.But a recent competition at an American university demonstrated that intelligent robots are already here.
In a gym on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta，more than 1,700 high school and university students and their faculty advisers readied their teams for a week of football—or soccer, as Americans call it.
The athletes did not seem to mind the occasional touch of a soldering iron or twist of the screwdriver(螺丝刀)．That is because the players are robots，and they have come here with their human creators for RoboCup 2007，the World Cup of robotic soccer.
The robots in this competition are autonomous—they move, see and kick by themselves.There are no wires，remote controls or even radio signals controlling them.Some look like machines，others look almost like humans.But these kid-size robots are still in the early stage of development—their movements are awkward.
It is hard to imagine that RoboCup's goal is to create a team of robots that can defeat the World Cup human champions by the year 2050.But Tucker Balch, one of RoboCup's organizers，fully expects to do it.“We're already playing soccer with teams of robots with legs that look like little people.And it's just another of many incremental(增长的)steps until we reach that goal.They're all steps that we can predict and know.There's nothing magic happening.We just have to make steady improvement.”
1．The intelligent robots in the passage refer to________.
A．the football athlete robots
B．the robots in the future
C．the characters in science fiction movies
D．the robots that can defeat the World Cup human champions
答案 A [细节理解题。由文章第一段的“intelligent robots are already here”和之后第三段中的“That is because the players are robots...”和第四段第一句话“The robots in this competition are autonomous—they move，see and kick by themselves.”可得知答案。]
2．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the fourth paragraph?
A．Dependent. B．Self-controlled.
C．Objective. D．Imaginary.
答案 B [词义猜测题。由下文的“...they move，see and kick by themselves.There are no wires，remote controls or even radio signals controlling them.”可知答案为B。]
3．What's RoboCup's goal according to the passage?
A．To show the intelligent robots to the world.
B．To win the 2050's World Cup of robotic soccer.
C．To choose the best robots that can replace men in 2050.
D．To create a football team of robots that can beat the World Cup human champions.
答案 D [细节理解题。由文章最后一段第一句话可得知答案。]
4．From the 4th paragraph，we can infer that________.
A．the scientists have created the best type of robots
B．the robots still have a long way to develop
C．the robots in the competition are similar to adults
D．the robots in the competition are controlled badly
答案 B [推理判断题。根据“The robots in this competition are autonomous...”和“But these kid-size robots are still in the early stage of development—their movements are awkward.”可推知机器人的发展还有很长的路要走。]

3．The student ________my success________for Shanghai the other day.
A．credit；to leaving B．credit；to left
C．credit；of have left D．credit；at leaving

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I'd Iived in the heart of New Orleans my whole life.We'd been through plenty of storms around there, so they didn't think Katrina would be any different.
As soon as the storm started on August 30，I knew it was going to be bad.Almost right away, the power went out, the windows broke, and the wind and rain pounded our building.My family and I were all huddled together in my sisters' room when suddenly our apartment started shaking！I thought the wind was going to blow our house down with us in it.The roof collapsed (倒塌) in my dad's bedroom, and water started leaking in elsewhere.I started praying right then and there, asking God to save us.I was up that whole night listening to the sounds of things breaking and the wind howling.I really thought we were going to die.
Miraculously(奇迹般地), we didn't.The next afternoon.when the storm had let_up，I went outside to see the damage.I had to be careful because the wind was still strong and branches and trash were flying through the air.I couldn't believe what I was seeing.It was just destruction everywhere.There was water up to my calves, and people were frantically trying to pull debris (碎片) out of the gutters so the water could go down.They were mostly unsuccessful.Trees were ripped out by their roots；houses and chimneys were smashed all around me.At first we weren't sure what to do.I had my car with me, but the water was almost up to the door, so we couldn't leave.My dad kept saying that we'd be OK and help would be here soon.How could it not，with so much ruin all around us? Unfortunately, we didn't have much food or water with us.We were so hungry that we took meat out of our freezer and threw it on our grill with some wood we'd found on the ground.I didn't even know if it was fully cooked，but I ate it anyway.
We were waiting for someone to come and help us.A police officer told us about a grocery store around the corner where we could get some food, but by the time we got there, all that was left were potato chips，soda and some chocolate cupcakes.It was really obvious that help wasn't coming.I can still remember how good it felt to finally drink a bottle of water several days later.The shelter had food，and we were able to use the hotel across the street to take baths.I was so grateful.But at the same time，I knew I couldn't stay there.It was hot and crowded，and so many people were crying over their missing or dead family members.A TV was on，and it seemed like every time the camera focused on a person suffering in New Orleans，it was somebody I knew.I couldn't watch after a while.It was just too depressing.
A few days later, a lot had been said about how the government had been handling this tragedy.Having gone through it, I feel they totally betrayed (出卖) us.I didn't know it was a crime to be poor in this country.But I guess it was.And the penalty can be death.Because that's who's dying：poor people.Even though I'm angry，I'm also grateful that my family and I are alive.A lot of others weren't so lucky.
1．At the beginning，the writer and his family________.
A．didn't have their breakfast
B．did think Katrina was coming

D．didn't think Katrina was so terrible
答案 D [从第一段的“we'd been through plenty of storms around there，so they didn't think Katrina would be any different.”看出，没有料到飓风有那么可怕。]
2．When Katrina hit his family, the writer________.
A．felt quite excited
B．felt completely frightened
C．felt moved
D．felt quite grateful
答案 B [从“I started praying right then and there, asking God to save us.”一句看出作者很害怕。]
3．What does the underlined phrase “let up” mean?
A．went up B．started
C．stopped D．continued
答案 C [从第三段的“I went outside to see the damage.I had to be careful because the wind was still strong and branches and trash were flying through the air.”看出暴风雨基本上停了。]
4．In the writer's opinion, the government________.
A．tried their best to help the victims
B．was busy stopping the strong storm
C．was not satisfying
D．asked all the people to flee
答案 C [从最后一段的“Having gone through it，I feel they totally betrayed (出卖)us.”看出政府并没有像电视上说的那样使受害者满意。]

I am sitting in front of the computer.I need to write what I am going to do during the beautiful fall coming up in Vermont.I am_nervous_because_I_think_that_my_life_at_this_moment_depends_on_how_much_I_learned_in_the_intensive_English_(英语精读)_during_the_last_four_months.
All my life I have been a fighter.When I was five years old, I had a very serious convulsion (痉挛) with high fever.The doctor gave the wrong medicine to me, which caused me to lose my speech.The doctor told my mother that the medicine caused a lot of problems with my speech.He thought that I would never be able to speak well again or to learn another language.
But my mother sent me to a lot of teachers.Finally, she sent me to Maria.She was a very nice person.She believed in me, and thought that I would speak again.The most amazing thing was that she taught me to read my mouth.I remember that I spent hours in front of the mirror and tried to repeat every word that I said.Imagine losing your speech and having to learn everything again.For me it was like being born again.I learned to talk and speak my native language：Spanish.
Now, I am studying English in Vermont.I can't believe that I am learning another language.But, I am！I am crying because studying here makes me feel happy, and it makes me smile when I remember what the doctors said to my mom：“She will never be able to speak or to learn another language.”
Now, I'm thinking about the beautiful fall leaf that is coming and what is going to happen to me.Just as every leaf is going to fall from the trees, I am going to take every step in my studies and in my life.I try to think about this and be a grateful person.

A brother and a sister have been reunited after more than 60 years，thanks to a letter in the Welwyn and Hatfield Times.
For years John Hannant kept a photograph of his long-lost sister，hoping they would meet again，Margery，the eldest of three children，had signed up to the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort，when John was still a baby.The family lost touch and as the decades passed，only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts.The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.
John, 67, had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.
“That's the one that made it, the letter to the paper a few months ago，”he said.“It's like a dream come true.The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the floods.She wrote home to know if we were all right.My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”
Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr.Hannant decided to take action once and for all.He and his wife Doreen, traveled to Margery's home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.
Now 90, she was recovering after several months in hospital, but immediately recognized her brother.John said，“It's something that I never thought was going to happen, but I always hoped it would.”As well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

A．there was a flood in the hometown
B．she signed up to serve the army
C．she wanted to get her husband back

答案 B [细节理解题。由文章第二段看出，Margery应当是报名参军的，因为后面提到Royal Air Force(皇家空军部队)。]
6．When she wrote to John last time，Margery was________.

C．44 years old D．54 years old
答案 A [数字计算题。由1953—(2009—90)＝34看出Margery当时年龄为34岁。]
7．All the following are the children of the Hannant family EXCEPT________.
A．John B．Doreen
C．Margery D．Dorothy
答案 B [细节理解题。从第二段第一句知可以排除A项；第二段第二句知可以排除C项；从第四段最后一句知可以排除D项。由第五段第二句看出，Doreen是John的妻子。故选B项。]
