一、阅读理解
When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest, “But now, it’s different,” says Nejat. “People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready.” Nejat’s robots are designed to fill an increasing need—care-giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be more than 426 million in 2050, about three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful to patients with Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding the patients to take their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
Some have worried that care-giving robots might reduce (减少) human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. “But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it,” says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder (自闭症谱系障碍) improve social skills.
As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human-robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don’t have feelings and don’t give opinions Will patients lose interest
“One thing is clear,” Scassellati says. “Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future.”

There are many kinds of music in the world, pop music, classical music, folk music and so on. Do you know country music It's a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. I like it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields.
Country music usually talks of everyday life and feeling. It's like the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death.

When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement, Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical （古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage （遗产）because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack （缺乏）of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist （专业的） music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
"I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing, " Professor Walker says. "But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films. "
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture. It's part of culture heritage," he says. "Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West. "
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief （首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum （课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study , such as the Mendelssohn's.
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible, " he says.
11．What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion
A．Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
B．Classical music education isn't valued in schools.
C．Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D．Australian schools need more specialist music teachers.
12．According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is _____________ .
A．part of culture heritage B．good for their growing up
C．difficult to play and sing D．popular only in Asia
13．According to the passage, which one is different from the other three
A．Haydn. B．Tchaikovsky. C．Mendelssohn. D．Elvis Presley.
14．Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker
A．He worries about the music education in schools.
B．He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed.
C．He is well known in Western classical music teaching.
D．He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.
15．From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____________ .
A．music teachers should teach anything that they like
B．most children today are brought up by their music teachers
C．music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all
D．children's music education today depends on their teacher 's taste
二、任务型阅读
Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine, too. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock(生物钟)
Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 am. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back(后背) started to hurt. She did some exercises before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said,“Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercises after work.” Her legs and back don’t hurt anymore.
Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (时间生物学)，the study of biology clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illness, such as heart attacks(心脏病）, occur(发生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.
Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!
16．Do we all have a biological clock inside our bodies
_____________________________________________________
17．How far did Barbara Wells run every morning
_____________________________________________________
18．How did Barbara Wells' legs and back get well
