Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
How soon will it be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) before robots become so intelligent that they will be able to do things, such as teaching languages or looking after patients in hospital Some experts believe this will happen within twenty years while others disagree.
One London company, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) UAS (University Automated Systems) has already developed machines that can be used as “home helps” for old people unable to look after themselves and who are living on their own or in special homes.These machines can now do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor, and the company says that future models will also accept simple voice instructions and be controlled by a “brain” that is the equivalent(替代品) of the latest IBM microcomputer.The director of UAS, Mr Henry Jeffries, believes that in the next five to ten years companies will have developed even more sophisticated(复杂的) robots for use in industry.By that time, it is likely that they will also have begun to sell new forms of these machines into ordinary homes.Robots could do a wide range of household tasks, such as preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning houses and so on.By then, the price of such machines may have come down to as little as D|S1,000.21cnjy.com
But Dr Sandra Lomax ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), who has done research into artificial intelligence at Sussex University and MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology), believes we have a long way to go before we can develop truly intelligent machines.
Preparing an omele ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t(煎蛋) may seem easy enough.But suppose one of the eggs has gone bad even the most “intelligent” robot would probably still use it.If something slightly unusual needs doing—something that requires a little of ordinary human imagination, a robot is useless.They need programming for even the simplest of tasks and are not able to learn from experience.“Teaching a robot how to recognize a bad egg is far more difficult than teaching it to prepare the omelet.” she says.
36. A London compan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y called UAS has already developed a machine which ________.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
A．can teach languages and care for the patient in hospitals
B．can help old people do certain jobs in the house【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
C．is controlled by microcomputer “brain”
D．can accept simple voice instructions
37．The director of U ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )AS believes that in the next five to ten years new forms of machines will________.
A．do anything with imagination
B．cost much less than D|S1,000
C．be used in every home
D．be used in industry
38．Dr Sandra Lomax thinks that________.
A．no robot will ever be able to prepare an omelet
B．a robot will so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on be able to do all the unusual housework people can't do
C．we can program a robot to learn from experience
D．making an omelet is easier for a robot than recognizing a bad egg
39．Which of the following is the BEST title for this passage
A．Servants of the Future
B．How to Make Robots
C．Difficult to Develop Intelligent Robot
D．The Household Tasks in Future
B
Robots are smart.W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith their computer brains，they help people work in dangerous places or do difficult jobs.Some robots do regular jobs.Bobby，the mail carrier，brings mail to a large office building in Washington D．C.He is one of 250 mail carriers in the United States.
Mr.Leachim，who weig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall，has some advantages as a teacher.One is that he does not forget details.He knows each child's name，the parents' names and what each child knows and needs to know.In addition，he knows each child's pets and hobbies.Mr.Leachim does not make mistakes.Each child goes and tells him his or her name，then dials an identification number.His computer brain puts the child's voice and number together.He identifies the child with no mistakes.Then he starts the lesson.
Another advant ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age is that Mr.Leachim is flexible.If the children need more time to do their lessons they can move switches.In this way they can repeat Mr.Leachim's lessons over and over again.When the children do a good job，he tells them something interesting about their hobbies.At the end of the lesson the children switch Mr.Leachim off.

Half the world's popu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lation is affected by Asian monsoons(季风)，but monsoons are difficult to predict.American researchers have put together a 700 year record of the rainy seasons，which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.
Every year，moist(潮湿的)a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ir masses，known as monsoons，produce large amounts of rainfall in India，East Asia，Northern Australia and East Africa.All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.
According to Edward Co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ok，a weather expert at Columbia University in New York，the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict.In addition，climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use.Therefore，he and other researchers spent more than 15 years traveling across Asia，looking for trees old enough to provide long term records.They measured the rings inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.
Rainfall has a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees.The researchers put together a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas(地图集)documenting monsoons over seven centuries，beginning in the 1300s.
“If the monsoon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fails or is a very weak one，the trees affected by monsoons at that location might have a very narrow ring，”said Professor Cook.“but if the monsoon is very strong，the trees affected by that monsoon might have a wide ring for that year.”With all the information，researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.
“There has been wides ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pread starvation and loss of human life in the past during large droughts while a particularly heavy monsoon can cause serious flooding，”said Eugene Wahl，a scientist with America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.“So，the regional moisture models，dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail mean a kind of victory for climate science.”
43．What's the passage mainly about
A．The effects of Asian monsoons.
B．The necessity of weather forecast.
C．The achievements of Edward Cook.
D．A breakthrough in monsoon predictions.
44．It is difficult ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for experts to predict Asian monsoons because ________.
A．it is hard to keep long term climate records
B．they are formed under complex climate systems
C．they influence many nations
D．there is heavy rainfall in Asia
45．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Long and detail ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.21世纪教育网版权所有
B．The Monsoon As ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.【版权所有：21教育】
C．The tress affected by monsoons grow fast if the monsoon is weak.
D．The rainfall migh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon affected areas.
46．According to Professor Cook，the rings of the trees ________.
A．determine the regional climate
B．have a great influence on the regional climate
C．offer people information about the regional rainfall
D．reflect all kinds of regional climate information
D
The trouble with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )school is that you can't choose the people you get to see every day.If you're unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don't really“get”you，you've just got to try to make the best of it.
But that doesn't m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ean you need to“fit in”，or at least in the way that people think.If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else，it won't help you make friends.It'll just make you feel like a fake.
You also shouldn't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn't like you.If you do that，you'll just make yourself miserable.Instead，you've got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring all the haters.Keep on speaking up，asking questions and getting to know people better.If you send out positive energy，then people will generally send some back to you.A couple of them will stay the same，and you're allowed to forget about them.
If you feel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like you're doing all that but still not getting anywhere，then don't give up.Just expand your circle.Get a part time job at a cool looking place，join an after school art class or youth group－do whatever it takes to find a couple of like minded people to connect with.Even if you don't find anyone right away，you'll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt，and that's always a good thing.
And remember that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you won't be stuck at school forever.When you finally go to college or get a full time job，you'll have new opportunities to build social circles－and it gets easier every time.
A fun book c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alled Uncool，by Erin Elisabeth Conley，has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality：
·Be kind to your fellow misfits.
·Throw caution to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the wind.Take chances with fashion，hobbies，hopes and dreams.
·Don't be afraid to look strange.
·Have patience with people who are different from you.
·Don't change just because someone else thinks you should.
·Know that even ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )though you may be a misfit，there's always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.
47．This passage was written mainly for ________.
A．students B．teachers
C．doctors D．scientists
48．According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he author，what should you do if you meet people who don't appreciate you
A．Ask someone else for help.
B．Try your best to fit in with them.
C．Ignore their different opinions.
D．Show positive attitude toward them.
49．The author ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to ________.
A．find a better place to make friends
B．get to know more friendly people
C．get more chances of making friends
D．lay a better foundation for your future jobs
50．What's the BEST title for this passage
A．How to deal with disagreement
B．What if you just don't fit in
C．Where can you make more friends
D．Why must you send positive energy

Humans Are Cleverer
With the dev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elopment of modern science and technology，robots have been invented and have played an important part in modern society.Robots can do many kinds of work for human beings.In many fields robots can be used to do those hard, difficult and dangerous work instead of humans.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
There are robots ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) all around us.Some do very complicated (复杂的) jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains.And some do one simple job.When an automatic washing machine is switched on，water pours in.The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes.It does this by“feedback”(反馈)．Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next.Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback.They tell us what is going on around us.So robots are like human beings in two ways.21·世纪*教育网

The most inte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lligent(智能的) robots can move and see.Their eyes are cameras.Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects.These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions.The expensive“Times New Roman”—the most intelligent robots are used in scientific research.They do such a job as handling radioactive materials.21·cn·jy·com

Ⅰ.1.affairs 2.envy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )3.declared 4.absurd 5.accompanied 6.elegant 7.favour 8.sympathy 9.satisfaction 10.alarm 21*cnjy*com
Ⅱ.1.A 句意：我不羡慕他参观北京，因为我去过那里好几次了。envy sb.doing sth.羡慕某人做某事。故选A。21教育名师原创作品
2．C 句意：她满意的微笑表明她对这个回答很满意。satisfying令人满意的；satisfied满意的。根据句意可知选C。21*cnjy*com
3．A 句意：她对名利的强烈渴求最终把她送 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )入了监狱。have a desire for“渴望……”，符合句意。success“成功”；command“命令”；request“请求”，均不合句意。
4．C turn around转身；turn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) down拒绝，调小；turn up调大；turn to求助于。句意：售货员转过身来，问道：“先生，你要买点什么？”
5．A sympathy同情(心)；a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ttraction吸引(力)；approval赞成；satisfaction满意，令人满意的事物。句意：无家可归孤儿的经历引发了公众的同情。
6．B scream“尖 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )叫”；alarmed“担心的，害怕的，惊恐的”；amazed“吃惊的，惊奇的”；absurd“荒谬的，荒唐的”。句意：日本的特大地震使得成千上万的人们惊恐不安。故B项正确。

9．A 句意：——每天给我打电话，好吗？——好的，请给我回电话。ring up“打电话”；ring back“回电话”。
10．A 固定短语leave...alone(让某人独自待着)，故选A项。
11．B 考查形容词词义 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )辨析。句意：这位身着时髦巴黎时装的女士外表优雅，可言语粗俗。题干中in her appearance 与in her speech相对，而选项中只有B项elegant是rude的反义词。故选B项。
12．D 根据第二个人的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )答语“他们会代替人做更多危险的工作”判断是对对方的看法表示赞同，因此选择D项，“我非常同意”；A项“很难说”和B项“看情况再说”都表示不完全赞成。
13．C 句意：我们被要求在两分钟之内浏览完 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文章以了解其大意。check“核对”；examine“检查”；scan“浏览，仔细看”；grasp“掌握，领会”。
14．C 句意：劳拉去了巴黎一个多星期 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。当她到家时，有一堆邮件正等着她。分析句子结构可知，空格处用作后置定语修饰mail，因为mail与wait之间为主动关系，且wait的动作不是发生在将来，故不用不定式而用现在分词结构。D项若改为which/that was waiting也正确，这样可构成定语从句修饰mail，但是作为从句主语的关系代词不可省去。21教育网
15．B 题干的意思是：“直到他读了文件之后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，格罗斯先生才意识到他面临的任务很难完成。”本句为强调句型，强调了时间状语only after he had read the papers。根据强调句结构“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that＋剩余部分．”可知选B项。此外，我们也可以将It is/was与空格去掉来验证此句是不是一个强调句。

1．C 根据下文As he was leaving可得出答案。

Ⅲ .阅读理解
A
Back in 1996，I h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad been working as a public radio reporter for several years，when I met a teenager named Josh Cutler.Josh has a rare brain disorder(紊乱)．Because of his disease，Josh sometimes says or yells(叫喊)—things that he can't control.
Josh was just startin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g his second year in high school when he agreed to work with me on a story about his disease.I gave Josh a tape recorder so he could keep a record of his daily life.This took a lot of courage for Josh.But there was one thing he couldn't bring himself to do：record at school.Josh and I agreed that an important part of his story would involve talking to kids at school about his disease.But Josh just couldn't do it.He was afraid the microphone(麦克风)would make him look stupid，and no one would want to be interviewed.On one occasion，Josh brought the equipment to school for recording，but he kept the microphone hidden inside his schoolbag the whole time，with the tape rolling.Then one day，after months of excuses，Josh got brave.During lunch he pulled out the microphone.What happened next was a total surprise.Josh tells it best：“Everyone tried their best to take the chance and started asking me questions about my disease.It was weird because，before that，I had never really talked about it to anyone—except my mom and dad.”
Recently，Josh told m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e that was one of the most important days of his life.The tape recorder allowed Josh to explore his disease—and himself—in a way he had never done before.Now Josh says he wants to keep doing radio diaries until he's eighty years old.
1．When the author met Josh Cutler in 1996，________.
A．the author was a professional journalist
B．Josh was receiving treatment in hospital
C．the author pitied Josh's unfortunate situation
D．Josh dreamed of becoming a teenage journalist
2．Why did Josh get a tape recorder from the author 21教育网
A．To treat his disease.
B．To work with the author.
C．To bring fun to his classmates.
D．To record the author's experiences.
3．Before Josh's cla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssmates asked him questions about his disease，Josh ________.21*cnjy*com
A．was willing to record his school life
B．got a big surprise from his classmates
C．lacked courage to talk about his disease
D．took every chance to talk with his classmates
4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Josh recovered from his disease.
B．Josh is a partner of the author.
C．Josh is fond of recording his daily life.
D．Josh found a medicine to treat his disease.
B
Although our reliance ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on fossil fuels (化石燃料) has created global warming, we now have the opportunity to begin a transformation towards a clean energy economy－one that is supported by highly efficient industries，fueled by clean, renewable resources, like wind, solar and geothermal (地热的) energy, and based on modern smart transportation planning.【版权所有：21教育】
A clean energy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )economy is a win for American jobs.Studies by leading research institutions have shown that if we invest in clean energy over fossil fuels, we will create more American jobs.A report released by the United Steelworkers and the Sierra Club, for example, found that thanks to the growth of wind energy, about 5,200 manufacturing jobs could be created in Iowa alone over the next decade.Additional studies have found that thousands more jobs could be created in other states that have suffered industry job losses and that welcome the opportunity to train workers for the new energy economy.
But, in order to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) fully transit to a clean energy economy，we need our elected officials to take action.Without policies from the government, the private field may continue to invest in old fashioned, polluting technologies.More than 70 coal plants without technology to capture carbon pollution are now being considered.If these projects go ahead, this will be billions of dollars invested in technology that is outdated and not“clean coal”．We need effective policies to push growing clean energy industries forward.
Each of us can play a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )role in bringing about this much needed transition.Tell your business and elected leaders that the next generation deserves to grow up in a world powered by clean energy.Tell your mayor that you want city planning that encourages more efficient new buildings and sidewalks and bike paths that make it easy to walk or ride a bike.Tell your state and national officials to invest in energy grids (电力网) that can deliver renewable energy to everyone.Tell your company that instead of old style coal power you want to buy solar, wind, or geothermal energy.Tell your elected officials that you want national policies that encourage investors to make long term commitments to clean energy.
