四、阅读理解
Modern-day robots may not be as entertaining as R2-D2 or the robot from LostinSpace,but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.
Robots make great explorers on planets,the moon,and other landing areas.Aside from the earth,just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is not adequate for humans to breathe,making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too high or much too low for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation,weather,and a lack of gravity.Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
Robots are designed for collecting scientific data.Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals,analyzing ground samples,to finding water are all performed much quicker and more accurately by robots.
The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans,but also carry enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover,robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain,they don’t require food or water,and they never need a bathroom break.
Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history.
1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.The Development of Robots
B.The Discovery of Space Exploration
C.No Robots,No Space Exploration
D.Robots Are Used in Space Exploration
答案D
解析标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“...butrobotsareveryimportanttospaceexplorationandarebeingusedinavarietyofdifferentwaysforseveralimportantreasons.”并结合下文可知,本文主要介绍了机器人正用于太空探索,故D项正确。
2.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true
A.The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
B.It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.
C.Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water in Mars’ history.
D.Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Theuseofrobotshasmadethecostofspaceexplorationmuchlessexpensivethanitwouldcostforhumanstodothework.”可知,用机器人进行太空探索比人类从事这项工作花费更少,故选A项。
3.The underlined word “withstand” in paragraph 2 most probably means “ ”.
A.remain B.bear
C.defeat D.develop
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Thetemperaturesonthesesurfacesaremuchtoohighormuchtoolowforanyhumansto...”可知,温度太高或太低,人类都无法忍受,可知画线词意为“忍受”,故B项正确。
4.What is the writer’s attitude in this passage
A.Negative. B.Persuasive.
C.Subjective. D.Objective.
答案D
解析观点态度题。通读全文可知,作者只是客观地介绍了机器人在太空探索中的应用,并没有带任何感彩,故D项正确。
五、七选五阅读理解
Is it amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device,and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. 1 On the Internet,a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage.So it is reasonable that people shopping online would be a little doubtful about the security levels.
2 They work hard to make people feel safe when they are shopping online.
Credit card companies,too,quickly see the potential for online shopping. 3 If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases,many credit card companies will happily refund(退款) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you.Now that’s the buying power!
4 No lining up,for one.No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.
When shopping online,consumers can sit down,have a cup of coffee,and wear their slippers,not having to worry about their hair or parking,and just clicking through sale after parison shopping couldn’t be any easier.And express companies contribute to it a lot. 5 No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the virtual world to attract online shoppers.
A.Internet giants know consumer confidence is the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground.
B.There are other advantages for online shoppers,of course.
C.Shopping online has become part of our lives.
D.You never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those purchases delivered right to your door.
E.But think about it for a moment.
F.Consumers can even benefit a lot from shopping online.
G.They have installed things like online shopping insurance for people.
答案:1~5 EAGBD
六、完形填空
No one is born a winner.People make themselves into winners by their own 1 .
I learned this lesson from a(n) 2 many years ago.I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley,Georgia.It was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the 3 team at the end of spring practice.The old team had no coach,and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game.Being the coach of the new team,I was excited because I knew we were going to win,but to my disappointment we were defeated.I couldn’t 4 I had got into such a situation.Thinking hard about it,I came to 5 that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia,but they were depending on me.I had to change my 6 about their ability and potential.
I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 7 .Most importantly,I began to treat them like winners.That summer,when the other teams enjoyed their 8 ,we met every day and 9 passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our 10 on the spring practice field,we won our first game and our second,and continued to 11 .Finally,we faced the number one team in the state.I felt that it would be a 12 for us even if we lost the game.But that wasn’t what happened.My boys beat the best team in Georgia,giving me one of the greatest 13 of my life!
From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 14 the members of a team.Instead of seeing my boys as losers,I pushed and 15 them.I helped them to see themselves differently,and they built themselves into winners.

导语:我们一起来看看科幻作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫提出的“机器人三定律”吧。
Isaac Asimov was one of the most famous science fiction writers.He began teaching at Boston University School of Medicine in 1949.He began to write short stories in 1939 and novels in 1950.He died in 1992.
He wrote numerous science fiction short stories and novels,and over one hundred non-fiction books.He is probably famous for his series stories.Many of his stories involved robots,and he was in fact the inventor of the term “robotics”.During his lifetime he was also enormously1 influential2 in the world of science.
Do you know anything about his famous Three Laws of Robotics
Law 1:A robot may not injure a human being,or,through inaction,allow a human being to come to harm.
Law 2:A robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law.
Law 3:A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
In Asimov’s stories,the robots must follow these laws so that they do not attack the humans that created them.
译文:
艾萨克·阿西莫夫是最有名的科幻小说家之一。1949年,他开始在波士顿大学医学院执教。1939年,他开始写短篇小说,1950年开始写长篇小说。他于1992年逝世。
他写了许多短篇、长篇科幻小说以及一百多本纪实书。或许他以故事集著称。他写过的很多故事里都有机器人的身影,事实上,他就是“机器人科学”这一术语的发明者。在他的一生中,他在科学领域也有极大的影响。
你知道他提出的著名的“机器人三定律”吗
第一定律:机器人不能伤害人类,或因不作为使人类受到伤害。
第二定律:机器人必须服从人类的命令,除非这些命令与第一定律相抵触。
第三定律:在不违背第一、第二定律的前提下,机器人必须保护自己不受伤害。
在阿西莫夫的故事中,机器人必须遵从这些定律,不去伤害创造它们的人类。

三、阅读理解
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world It is an increasingly urgent question,given the mining accidents in Sago,W.Va. and Huntington,Utah.A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
Robotic technology,in particular,holds much promise,McAteer says,especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners—the special operations of the mining industry.
One of the first mining robots was developed at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute.It was called Groundhog.It used lasers(激光器) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.
The latest design is called Cave Crawler.It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog,and even more advanced.It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases.Incredibly,the robot has a real sense of logic.If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused.It has to think about what to do and where to go next.Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.
The greatest problem,though,is the cost.The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government,but that money had dried up,and it’s not clear where future money will come from.Partly for that reason,and partly because of advances in safety,mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past.Since 1990,fatalities have declined by 67% and injuries by 51%,according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry.The robots do the most boring and dangerous jobs,but won’t get rid of the need for human workers.
1.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog,mainly because .
A.it can map abandoned mines
B.it has a real sense of logic
C.it can see in the dark tunnels
D.it’s smaller than Groundhog
答案:B
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Incredibly,therobothasarealsenseoflogic.”可知,最新的机器人比Groundhog更先进,因为它有真正的逻辑能力。
2.The underlined phrase “throws a fit” in paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
A.gets sick B.gets angry
C.becomes hungry D.becomes cheerful
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Ifitcomesacrossanobstacleitgetsmomentarilyconfused.”“Sometimesitthrowsafitjustlikearealperson.”可知,它会像真人一样生气。可知选B项。
3.We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A.the mining robots will have a very bright future
B.robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
C.there will be no need for human workers in mines
D.robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Someexpertspredictthatrobotsinmineswillservemuchofthesamefunctionthattheydointheautomotiveindustry.”可知,采矿机器人有光明的未来。
4.We can infer from the text that .
A.robots cannot do dangerous work in dark areas
B.the mining robots do most of the mining work at present
C.Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
D.experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Therobotsdothemostboringanddangerousjobs,butwon’tgetridoftheneedforhumanworkers.”可知,专家正在努力让机器人帮助工人做最枯燥、最危险的工作。故选D项。

被动语态
一、被动语态概述
语态是动词的一种形式,用来说明主语和谓语动词之间的关系。英语动词有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。一般来说,只有及物动词才有被动语态。
二、各种时态的被动语态的构成
在使用被动语态的句子中,谓语动词的形式是“be+动词过去分词”。人称、数和时态的变化规则与系动词be相同。几种常用时态的被动语态构成如下:
一般现在时:am/is/are+动词过去分词
一般过去时:was/were+动词过去分词
一般将来时:will/shall be+动词过去分词或am/is/are going to be+动词过去分词
现在进行时:am/is/are being+动词过去分词
过去进行时:was/were being+动词过去分词
现在完成时:have/has been+动词过去分词
过去完成时:had been+动词过去分词
English is taught in most schools.
大多数学校都开设英语课。
Their wedding was held in their hometown.
他们的婚礼是在他们家乡举行的。
Do you think the book will be reprinted
你觉得这本书会重印吗
He knew he would be punished for it.
他知道自己会为此受到惩罚。
注意 含有情态动词的被动语态:情态动词+be+动词过去分词。
Such work can be done in an hour or so.
这样的工作可以在一个小时左右做完。
三、主动语态变为被动语态的方法
1.把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。
2.把谓语变成被动结构,时态不变。
3.有时把主动语态中的主语放在介词by之后做宾语,原做主语的人称代词要用宾格。
A sudden loud noise from nowhere woke me up in the early morning.
→I was woken up by a sudden loud noise from nowhere in the early morning.
They were building the new bridge.
→The new bridge was being built (by them).
We haven’t told her about it yet.
→She hasn’t been told about it yet (by us).
四、使用被动语态的场合
1.当不知道或没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者时,多用被动语态。
The bridge was built last year.
这座桥是去年建造的。
2.当更加强调动作的承受者时,多用被动语态。动作的执行者由by引导置于谓语动词之后,不需要时可以省略。
The room hasn’t been cleaned yet.
房间还没有被打扫。
3.当动作的执行者不是人时,多用被动语态。
The whole village has been washed away by the flood.
整个村庄都被洪水冲走了。
五、主动形式表示被动意义的几种常见情况
1.某些连系动词,如look,sound,smell,feel,taste,prove要用主动形式表示被动意义。
The garden looks very beautiful.
这个花园看上去很美。
2.某些与can’t,won’t等连用的不及物动词,如move,lock,shut,open。
The door won’t shut.
这门关不上。
3.某些可和well,easily等副词连用的不及物动词,如read,wash,clean,cook。
The cloth washes well.
这种布料好洗。

→Your table manners .
is used
should be paid more attention to

For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue,N.Y.,today is speech day,and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes,he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should...should...”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher,Thomas Whaley,is next to him,whispering support.“...Vote for...me...” Except for some stumbles,Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants,Chris started learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls(回想起) how at the beginning of the year,when called upon to read,Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes.“It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself,and your best qualities,” Whaley says,“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
24.What made Chris nervous
A.Telling a story. B.Making a speech.
C.Taking a test. D.Answering a question.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段及第二段第一句“Buthe’snervous.”可知,尽管Chris是班上爱开玩笑的人,但在全班同学面前公开演讲他还是感到紧张。故选B项。
25.What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Improper pauses. B.Bad manners.
C.Spelling mistakes. D.Silly jokes.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“‘...Votefor...me...’Exceptforsomestumbles,Chrisisdoingamazinglywell.”可知,除了演讲过程中的一些不恰当的停顿之外,Chris还是完成得相当不错。故选A项。
26.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to .
A.help students see their own strengths
B.assess students’ public speaking skills
C.prepare students for their future jobs
D.inspire students’ love for politics
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段及第六段中的“...isverydifficultforachildwhocameintotheclassroomnotfeelingconfident.”可以推知,Whaley之所以在班里开展“总统竞选演讲”项目,目的是帮助学生看到自己的长处,找到自信。故选A项。
27.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher
A.Humorous. B.Ambitious.
C.Caring. D.Demanding.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。纵观全文,尤其是第二段中的“Histeacher,ThomasWhaley,isnexttohim,whisperingsupport.”可以看出,Chris演讲时,Whaley在身旁默默地鼓励他;当初学英语时,Whaley允许学生犯错,让学生有勇气面对自身的不足之处,且渴望去探索,并鼓励走进教室的不自信的学生们夸赞自己的好品质。由此推知, 作为教师,Whaley对于学生关怀备至。故选C项。

Big data of the human face can make a difference.Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.Many smartphones have already used face recognition to unlock the home screen.Face recognition is becoming increasingly common in China,where it has been equipped at some restaurants.It is also used by shop owners to catch shoplifters.
Some universities are using face recognition technology as a means to keep track of the students’ attendance in the classrooms.Students stand in front of a screen when they walk into lecture halls.Photos taken at the screen are matched with those logged in the university’s database.It’s believed that the system is highly accurate because it can identify students even if they change their hair or wear makeup.Students have joked that face recognition is so strict that they don’t dare to skip classes anymore.The traditional way of taking attendance is through a roll call.The new system helps to improve efficiency.
Face recognition technology has already been used in different fields in China.Police have set up face recognition scanners at busy crossroads to catch jaywalkers,whose photos will be shown on the digital screen as a warning.In the hotels of Wuzhen attractions,face scanner-equipped gates identify tourists staying in its hotels.The data collected will then serve as Entry Pass through the town’s various attractions.Tourists do not have to pay extra entrance fees.Face recognition has also been in business use in China.
Face recognition is expected to be used in all sorts of fields.It is going to become part of your life if it isn’t already.

“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright.Yes,I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense,I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies
32.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1
A.She knows little about the club.
B.She isn’t good at sports.
C.She just doesn’t want to volunteer.
D.She’s unable to meet her schedule.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句“Youcanusemeasalastresort,andifnobodyelsevolunteers,thenIwilldoit.”可知,这位家长让作者最后再考虑她,如果没有其他人当志愿者,她才会做。由此可知,她不想做志愿者工作。
33.What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Encourage teamwork.
B.Appeal to feelings.
C.Promote good deeds.
D.Provide advice.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。开头提到这位家长不愿当志愿者,再根据第二段中的“Shemayjustneedalittlepersuading.”以及下文作者提到的两个例子可知,作者是想让她内心有所触动。对比四个选项可知,B项正确。
34.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3
A.She gets interested in lacrosse.
B.She is proud of her kids.
C.She’ll work for another season.
D.She becomes a good helper.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的第二句“Theunwillingparentorganizesthemealschedule,sendsoutemails,andcollectsmoneyforend-of-seasongifts.”可知,这位家长安排就餐时间表、发送电子邮件,并且为季末礼品筹款。这些都可以表明她是一位好帮手。故选D项。
35.Why does the author like doing volunteer work
A.It gives her a sense of duty.
B.It makes her very happy.
C.It enables her to work hard.
D.It brings her material rewards.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Connectingtothecommunityasyoufreelygiveyourtime,money,skills,orservicesprovidesarealjoy.Volunteeringjustfeelssogood.”可知,志愿者工作给她带来了快乐。故选B项。

As science and technology develop,life in the future will be greatly different from what it is today.
First of all,our environment will be more pleasant,because electricity will be produced from clean energy instead of coal.Secondly,our cars,which may run not only on the road but also in the water,will be controlled by robots.In this way,traffic accidents will be greatly avoided.Additionally,some new medicine will be developed so that people can live longer.As a result,living to be 120 may be very common.
In conclusion,I think life in the future will be much better than it is now.

Eric was working in a sales company.He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home.Mother’s Day was coming up,and he usually tried to make it “back home”,but this year he was just too busy and too tired.When he was driving in a small town,he saw a flower shop.He said to himself,“I know what I will do.I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to a girl in it.“How many roses can I get for five dollars,Ms ”the boy asked.The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive.Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
“No.I have to have roses,”he said,“my mum was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her.I want to get something special.It has to be the red rose,because that is her favorite.”He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head.Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice.He wanted to get those roses.Eric had been lucky in his business,and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said,“OK,I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.”The boy almost jumped into the air.He took the flowers and ran out of the store.It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have them delivered to his mother.After that,with a relief he drove down the road.Not long after his driving,he saw the boy walking to a graveyard(墓地).

Ericwentintothecarintears. His mother’s home wasn’t far from here,but he hadn’t seen her for a long time.He didn’t have a talk with her for a long time or say how much he loved her for a long time.He turned the car and drove quickly to the flower shop.He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to give them personally to his mum.
