Robotic age draws closer
随着科技的发展，机器人时代的到来已经指日可待。IRobot makes everything from the Roomba to robots that someday might become a part of us.
“You can have robotics equipped into your body，to get back that arm or leg that you've lost，either in some accident or disease，”says Greiner.
Although robots have been developed mainly for military(军用的)applications，civilian uses for the technology are growing，according to Michael Toscano，president of the Association for Unmanned(自控的)Vehicles International.“Unmanned systems allow human beings to do their task with an extension of their hands，their eyes and their ears.”
“We can put them in the ocean and they'll swim for eight or nine months，collecting data and monitoring ocean pollution，”says Hudson of IRobot.
Recently the US Government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)displayed a “robotic man”．Instead of depending on remote-control，DARPA's “robotic man” can actually look at some blocks，find one with a special pattern，and move it to a new location.Mandelbaum，DARPA's project manager，says more challenging tasks lie ahead.
Some day，a DARPA robot might find a hidden bomb or help a disabled person select a shirt and button it.To advance the technology，DARPA plans to let members of the pubic write software for the “robotic man”，then sign onto the Internet and watch a model of “robotic man” perform the task.
It's one of the ways that robots will help humankind to extend its reach.教师用书独具演示●教学目标

1．作时间状语
相当于一个时间状语从句。
Once published，the dictionary will be very popular.(Once published＝Once it is published)
一旦出版，这本词典将大受欢迎。2．作原因状语
相当于一个原因状语从句。

在一位姑娘的搀扶下，老人上了公共汽车。【注意】
(1)过去分词作状语时，其前面可以带有相应的连词，如when，though，although，as if，as though，if，unless，until，once等，表时间、让步、条件、方式等。
If (I am)invited，I will attend the wedding of my friend.如果受到邀请，我会参加我朋友的婚礼。(2)过去分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，即表被动；现在分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，即表主动。

我的父母都是退休教师。2．单个的过去分词作定语时，一般放在被修饰词之前，也可后置。往往可用定语从句代替。

fried chips炸土豆条
Hurry up，there is only a little time left.
快点，时间不多了。
Things seen are mightier than things heard.

他是一个受学生喜爱和尊敬的老师。Ⅰ.多项选择

(一)想象类作文是一种创造型写作，属于开放式作文的一种。此类写作一般会给学生一定的素材或主题，让学生在此基础上自由发挥、创作。它不受“文体形式、内容要点”的限制，不但考查学生的语言能力，而且对学生的想象能力、发散思维、思辨能力等也有很高的要求。想象类作文，因涉及到未来事物，因此描写时主要以一般将来时为主。另外，想象类作文中可能会用到较多比较难的词汇和句型，一定要注意避免出现拼写错误。虽然高考中鼓励同学们使用一些较为复杂的句式，但一味追求句式的复杂，反而不自然。可以长短句结合，这样可以避免出现过多的错误。还有，这类作文多为提纲性作文范畴。题目要求对未来生活进行展望，在进行描写的同时，要立足文章所给的要点，在此基础上可进行适当的发挥，但切记不可天马行空，任意发挥。(二)写好想象类文，要做到以下几点：
1．观察生活，表现生活。想象不是胡编乱造，要源于生活实际。只有熟悉生活，仔细地观察生活，才能有想象的原材料。
2．明确中心，展开想象。动笔写想象性作文之前先要明确中心，即写作目的。在这个基础上列好提纲，写出主题句。写主题句时要注意：一个段落只能有一个主题句；主题句的范围必须最大限度地缩小、具体化；尽可能选择准确、充分、档次高的关键词概括自己的观点和看法。3．想象美好，立意深刻。想象性作文必须要有一个“美好”的中心思想。如果只是瞎编一个热闹离奇的故事，就失去了想象的意义。
4．语言规范，表达地道。选用自己熟悉的词汇和句型来组织语言进行表达，如will，probably，possibly，maybe，likely，may，might，could，would，It's possible/probable/likely that...，I often dream about...，Perhaps we will be able to...等都是该种作文中常会用到的。请根据下面的提示，以“Life in the future”为题，对人类未来的生活进行描写。
1．某些人可以到月球上度假；
2．某些科学家可能在海底生活；
3．每家都有可视电话(videophone)，通过可视电话可以体检或购物；
4．孩子可以在家通过电视或广播接受教育；
5．机器人为你做家务。[思路分析]
本篇文章可以从以下几个方面入手：
1．首先确定文章的时态：一般将来时；
2．对所给信息进行整合分段，第一段对前三项提示进行总体描写，第二、三段分别对“孩子的教育和由机器人做家务”做出具体描述，最后对全文作出总结。4．每天我们可以告诉机器人做什么——购物和做家物等等。
Every day we can tell the robot what to do—shopping，housework .
【答案】 1.be like 2.I'm sure / I believe；come true/will be realized 3.without leaving our homes 4.and so on【参考范文】

文章来源和读者对象推断题
推测文章的来源或者推测读者对象要求读者本身要具备一定的常识，这样文章的内容才能与读者本身已经具备的常识结合起来。比如读者本身要对报纸、杂志、网络、科普、小说、童话、广告、教材、说明书、旅游指南、药品说明、操作指南等有基本的了解，这样才能根据文章的特点对号入座，选出最佳答案。(2012·北京高考·A)

“You may wonder，Sir Percival，”said Laura calmly，“if I am going to ask to be released(免除)from my promise to marry you.I am not going to ask this.I respect my father's wishes too much.”His face relaxed a little，but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.

“No.You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you.”he said.62．The passage is probably taken out of .
A．a novel B．a report
C．a diary D．an essay

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
American job seekers who use the Internet are more likely to continue active job searches and less likely to drop out of the labor pool when compared to those who do not have access to the Internet, said the Phoenix Center.
Using census (人口普查)data from 2007, the study found that unemployed workers who use broadband, whether at home or a public facility, are at least 50 percent less likely to give up on their job than those who lack such access.Discouragement was cited by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as a major reason for an increase in the rate of unemployment in 2010.As of December 2009, a large number of American workers have given up looking for a job because of the thought that no jobs are available.
According to the Phoenix Center, the new study provides important insights for policymakers at a time of economic crisis, when unemployment rates are extremely high, which now is more than 17 percent.The US Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, which carries the responsibility for the government's monthly data on employed and unemployed individuals, estimates that adding “discouraged workers”， who had given up looking for work, would increase the current US unemployment rate above the frequently reported 10 percent level.
By connecting American people to jobs and information about how to better find work, use of the Internet gives them hope and encourages the frustrated unemployed to keep on looking even when job prospects are dim, said Lawrence J．Spiwak, president of the Phoenix Center.
“These new findings suggest that broadband connectivity can contribute to economic recovery，” Mr.Spiwak added.
The study has demonstrated that there are several rea sons why the Internet helps keep the jobless from quitting on their job searches such as the inexpensiveness of using the Internet to search for information about job opportunities and salaries, as well as the emotional and other types of support unemployed individuals receive by means of the Internet.The study found evidence that the unemployed are more likely to be discouraged when they do not surf the Web, and this evidence suggests that support and information obtained from the Internet significantly reduce the chances that they might feel there are no jobs, or no jobs for which they could qualify.
The study also highlights the benefits and importance of community broadband centers to assist those who do not have Internet access at home.

If you know the following fact, you'll understand why many people suffer from foot problems: The average person walks the equivalent of three times around the earth in a lifetime.That is enormous wear and tear on the 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles that make up the foot.
In a recent survey for the American Podiatric Medical Association, 53 percent of respondents reported foot pain so severe that it affected their daily fun_ction.On average, people develop pain in their 60s, but it can start as early as the 20s and 30s.And usually women give care to their feet while men don't.
“A lot of people think foot pain is part of the aging process and accept it, and walk with pain，” said Dr.Andrew Shapiro.Though some foot problems are inevitable, their progress can be slowed.
The following questions will help you assess whether you should take more preventive action as you age.Do you have flat feet or high arches (足弓)? Either puts feet at risk.Shoes that support the arch and heel can help flat feet.People with high arches should look for roomy shoes and softer padding (衬垫) to absorb the shock.Proper exercises also strengthen muscles supporting the foot.
Do your shoes fit? In the survey, more than 34 percent of men said they could not remember the last time their feet were measured.20 percent of women said that once a week they wore shoes that hurt, and 8 percent wore painful shoes daily.Feet flatten and lengthen with age, so if you still stick to the shoe size you wore at the age of 21，get your feet measured.
Do you walk? Putting more mileage(里程) on your feet is the best way to exercise the muscles and keep them healthy.

Being a fashion model is a more challenging career than many people think, because you have lots of things to be aware of like maintaining your perfect figure and competing with many beautiful and attractive models.
A famous company would probably choose the perfect model for its products and if you get chosen then maybe you can consider yourself a super model.Some super models are as popular as famous actors and actresses.
Let's talk about qualifications to become a fashion model.You should be between 15 and 22 years old, though probably closer to 15.Models don't have careers that last as long as doctors, so agencies tend to want to invest their time in someone young.You also have to consider your height.Being tall, long-legged, and thin is the most acceptable.At least 5′8″ in height and of average weight, which for a model is 108—125 pounds.These characteristics are partly aesthetic (美的) and partly practical.There are always exceptions to the rule, of course —Kate Moss is 5′7″and Gabrielle Reece is a giant 6′3″—but, in general, the closer you are to the industry criteria，the better your chances.
Aside from height requirements, models are required to have good skin, great teeth, nice smile, healthy hair, and must be well dressed.Models must also be highly photogenic, able to do a variety of poses and expressions and take direction well.It is possible to have a bad skin condition but as long as you are able to keep it under control, such issues can be fixed using Photoshop.However, the clearer your complexion (肤色) is, the better.
There are many types of models, such as editorial fashion models, commercial models, fitness models, and catalog models.Every type has its own criteria.That is why I believe that every person, who is inspired to become a model, has the chance as long as they meet the criteria.This could be your career, if that is what you want out of life.
【语篇解读】 模特这个职业竞争很激烈。不同类型的模特，其标准也不相同。如果你有志从事于这一职业，努力当个出色的模特儿，你就有可能像演员一样出名。

The advantages and disadvantages of space travel
There are several advantages of space travel.First of all，it could provide people with new places to live and new sources of materials.In addition，space travel helps people to learn about the universe better.Also，space travel research does good to other areas.
However，space travel also has some disadvantages.It uses up money which could be better spent in other ways.What's more，the idea of people living on other planets is unrealistic.Also space travel could be dangerous.
In my opinion，though there are disadvantages，I think space travel is a good idea.It is important for people to explore and learn about the universe.
