A．reply；rung off B．receive；rung up

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Since the late 1980s，nothing has made Peccioli residents happier than collecting garbage.At that time，the small town built one of the most advanced dumping sites (垃圾堆积场) in Italy，designed to recycle and produce green energy.For 20 years，it’s been Peccioli’s most profitable business.
So when a group of young scientists from a nearby university in Pisa called Peccioli’s city hall and asked for permission to run a robotics test，all they had to do was say the magic word：trash.
During a recent test at Peccioli’s main street，the strange garbage collecting robot came into people’s sight：It had two wheels，rounded arms，and two big inspiring eyes，seeming to have escaped from the cartoon movie “Wall E”．
Like a taxi answering a call，DustCart rode across the street to meet the caller.Once the robot arrived，it asked for a personal ID number that both identifies (识别) the user and tracks the garbage.It also sorted out the trash being dumped—organic，recyclable or waste.DustCart then opened its belly bin (垃圾肚)，collected the trash and took it to a fake dumping site.
Besides replacing the garbage man，Dario，the head scientist，said DustCart could also be an answer to the noise pollution that comes with traditional trash collection in Italy.In cities like Rome，for example，noisy trucks collect garbage in the middle of night.To solve that problem，DustCart runs on a silent，specially designed battery operated engine.
However，its whole reaction time still seems too slow to deal with any real situation.Placing DustCart throughout the crowded streets of European capitals is an even farther reach.
“We still need to work on it，” admitted the scientists，“but we are on the right track.”
Fortunately，the research team has time and money to do it.
DustCart is part of a project called “DustBot，a $3.9 million research program that started in 2006 to implement robotics in society in useful ways，such as cleaning the streets.”
It was given a friendly look to encourage interaction with humans.But for many Italians，who believe in drying their shirts on clothes lines even in December and still look at microwaves with suspicion，the idea of handing their trash to robots seems a little too advanced—or odd.Even in Peccioli.
“Perhaps I find it hard to give my final opinion on a project like this，” said Luca Di Sandro，a small businessman from the town.“But I have become curious.”
语篇解读： 意大利科学家研制出新型的“垃圾回收机器人”，它可以随时听候用户的差遣，主动上门分门别类地收取垃圾。
1．From the first paragraph we learn that________.
A．Peccioli met the serious garbage problem in the 1980s
B．Peccioli owns the biggest dumping site in Italy
C．people in Peccioli benefit a lot from collecting trash
D．people in Peccioli only use green energy from garbage
解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的介绍，尤其是最后一句可以看出，Peccioli人以垃圾回收为业，从中获益颇多。
答案： C
2．One of the purposes of DustCart’s asking for the user’s ID number was to________.
A．charge the person automatically
B．follow the moving path of the garbage
C．record the family’s monthly amount of trash
D．get the person’s comment on the service later
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中Once the robot arrived，it asked for a personal ID number that both identifies the user and tracks the garbage可知，留下垃圾投放人的ID号码目的之一是为了可以追踪其扔掉的垃圾。
答案： B
3．Compared with traditional trash collection，DustCart________.
A．reduces the cost greatly B．makes much less noise
C．works better in trash recycling D．can work in the middle of night
解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中Dario，the head scientist，said DustCart could also be an answer to the noise pollution that comes with traditional trash collection in Italy可知，与传统垃圾回收方式相比，DustCart能够降低噪音。
答案： B
4．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．the dumping site is causing serious pollution
B．there are not enough garbage men in Italy
C．DustCart will not come into use very soon
D．traditional trash collection causes traffic problems
解析： 推理判断题。根据第七段可推知，DustCart还存在一些不足有待改进，故其真正投入使用还有待时日。
答案： C
5. According to the passage，we can infer that many Italians’ attitude towards DustCart is________.
A．satisfied B．doubtful
C．worried D．critical
解析： 观点态度题。由第十段话推断很多意大利人对这种新型的“垃圾回收机器人”持的态度是怀疑的。
答案： B(共38张PPT)
Section Ⅳ Grammar and Writing
不定式的被动语态

三、不定式的主动形式表示被动意义的几种常见结构
1．动词不定式在名词后面作定语，不定式和名词之间有动宾关系时，又和句中另一名词或代词构成主谓关系，不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。

今天下午我有许多事要做。(to do与things是动宾关系，与I是主谓关系)
I’ll go to the post office.Do you have a letter to be posted
我要去邮局。你有信要寄吗？(post与主语you之间不存在主被动关系，故只和前面letter构成动宾关系)
2．在某些“形容词＋不定式”作表语或宾语补足语的结构中，句子的主语或宾语是动词不定式的逻辑宾语时，常用不定式的主动形式表达被动意义。这些形容词有nice，easy，fit，hard，difficult，important，impossible，pleasant，interesting等。

有许多家庭作业要做。
Are there any more clothes to be washed
还有其他的衣服要洗吗？

Robotic pets aren’t new，and we have heard about those crazy pet robots in Japan that begin to feel lonely and upset if you don’t shower them with enough attention.However，it may not be everyone’s cup of tea to get a robotic pet.
Most people cannot manage to keep live pets at home.This could be due to a lack of space and time，and this is exactly why robotic pets come into the picture.Pleo is a robotic dinosaur toy. He is a cute one week old baby.The dinosaur can replace the non existing pet and comfortably integrate into your family.He can communicate with you by moving naturally，expressing emotions and independently responding to the world，and exploring，too！Thanks to its sensory system，Pleo can hear，see，sense，touch and also discover objects.
You can find training tips and download enhancements for your pet from their website as well！ While Pleo may not be a living，breathing pet，he certainly is cute and would make your family complete！The price of Pleo is not very high.You can buy one for $349.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot.It was going to be tested out by Larry’s wife，Claire.
Claire didn’t want the robot in her house，especially as her husband would be absent for three weeks，but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn’t harm her or allow her to be harmed.It would be a bonus.
However，when she first saw the robot，she felt alarmed. His name was Tony and he seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice although his facial expression never changed.
On the second morning Tony，wearing an apron，brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go.It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.
One day，Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot. But she began to trust him.She told him how she was overweight and this made her feel unhappy.Also she felt her home wasn’t elegant enough for someone like Larry who wanted to improve his social position.She wasn’t like Gladys Claffern，one of the richest and most powerful women around.
As a favour Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant.So Claire borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read，or rather，scan.She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand.She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin.How absurd，she thought.He was just a machine.
Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore.As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops，he wrote out a list of items for her.Claire went into the city and bought curtains，cushions，a carpet and bedding.Then she went into a jewellery shop to buy a necklace.When the clerk at the counter was rude to her，she rang Tony up and told the clerk to speak to him.The clerk immediately changed his attitude.Claire thanked Tony，telling him that he was a “dear”．As she turned around，there stood Gladys Claffern.How awful to be discovered by her，Claire thought.
By the amused and surprised look on her face，Claire knew that Gladys thought she was having an affair.After all，she knew Claire’s husband’s name was Larry，not Tony.
When Claire got home，she wept with anger in her armchair. Gladys was everything Claire wanted to be.“You can be like her，” Tony told her and suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return.By that time，Tony expected the house to be completely transformed.
Tony worked steadily on the improvements.Claire tried to help once but was too clumsy.She fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room，he managed to catch her in time. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body.She screamed，pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day.
The night of the party arrived.The clock struck eight.The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room.At that moment，Tony folded his arms around her，bending his face close to hers. She cried out “Tony” and then heard him declare that he didn’t want to leave her the next day and that he felt more than just the desire to please her.Then the front door bell rang.Tony freed her and disappeared from sight.It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window.Her guests had seen everything!
The women were impressed by Claire，the house and the delicious cui sine.Just before they left，Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women！She might not be as beautiful as them，but none of them had such a handsome lover.
Then she remembered—Tony was just a machine.She shouted “Leave me alone” and ran to her bed.She cried all night.The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.
The company was very pleased with Tony’s report on his three weeks with Claire.Tony had protected a human being from harm.He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure. He had opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire，knowing that there was no risk to Claire’s marriage.But even though Tony had been so clever，he would have to be rebuilt—you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
包君满意
拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司里工作。最近，该公司要对一个家用机器人进行试验。这项试验将由拉里的夫人克莱尔来尝试。
克莱尔并不想把机器人留在家里，特别是在她丈夫离家三周的这个期间。但是克莱尔被拉里说服了，他说，机器人不会伤害她，也不会让别人来伤害她。这样会是个意外的收获。然而她初次见到机器人的时候就感到有点儿吃惊。机器人名叫托尼，看上去更像一个人，而不像台机器。他虽然面部表情毫无变化，但是个子高大、相貌英俊，头发平整，声音低沉浑厚。
第二天早晨，托尼戴着围裙给她端来了早餐，然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。她感到有点儿不好意思，很快就打发他走了。机器人如此通人性，这使她觉得心烦和害怕。
有一天，克莱尔说起，她觉得她自己并不聪明。托尼则说，克莱尔一定是很不高兴，才会说出这样的话来。克莱尔觉得，机器人会向她表示同情，这有点荒唐可笑。但是她开始信任托尼了。她告诉托尼她太胖了，这让她很不高兴。还有对于像拉里这样很想提高社会地位的人来说，她的家也不够高雅。她跟格拉迪斯·克拉芬不一样，格拉迪斯是远近闻名的有钱有势的女人。
托尼为让克莱尔高兴，答应帮助她，使她变得漂亮，使她的家变得高雅大方。于是克莱尔从图书馆借来一堆书给托尼阅读，或者说给他浏览一下。她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页，忍不住突然伸出手来摸他的手指。他的手指甲和他那柔软温暖的皮肤使她感到大为惊异。她在想，这是多么可笑啊，他只不过是一台机器呀！
托尼给克莱尔换了个发型，又改变了化妆风格。因为不允许托尼陪克莱尔去商店，所以托尼就给她写了一份购物清单。克莱尔进城去买了窗帘、坐垫、地毯和床上用品。然后她去了一家珠宝店买项链。柜台售货员对她很粗鲁，她就打电话给托尼，让售货员同托尼讲话。
售货员马上改变了态度。克莱尔对托尼表示感谢，并说他是个“可爱的人”。她刚一转过身去，就看到格拉迪斯·克拉芬站在那儿。克莱尔想，被格拉迪斯发现了，这多么难为情啊！从格拉迪斯脸上的那种有趣而又惊奇的神色来看，克莱尔知道，格拉迪斯认为她有风流韵事了。毕竟格拉迪斯知道她的丈夫是拉里，而不是托尼。
克莱尔回到家里，坐在扶手椅里气得直哭。格拉迪斯的一举一动都是克莱尔想模仿的。托尼告诉克莱尔说，你可以同格拉迪斯一样，还建议克莱尔邀请格拉迪斯和她的朋友到家里来玩，时间就定在托尼离去和拉里回家之前的那个晚上。托尼想在此之前将房子改装得焕然一新。
托尼有条不紊地搞着装修。克莱尔有一次想来帮忙，但是太笨手笨脚了，竟从梯子上掉了下来。尽管托尼当时在隔壁房间里，他还是及时赶过来把她接住了。他把她紧紧地搂在怀里，她感觉到了他身上有股暖气。她尖叫了起来，把他推开，跑回她的房里，那天她就再也没有出来过。
聚会的那天晚上来到了。时钟敲响八点。客人马上就要到来了，克莱尔叫托尼到另一间房里去。就在那一瞬间，托尼弯曲胳膊搂着她，弯下身去把脸贴近她的脸。她大叫一声“托尼”，然后听到托尼一本正经地说，明天他不想离开她，而且他并不满足于仅仅使她开心。
就在这时，前门的门铃响了。托尼放开了她，消失得无影无踪了。也就在这时候，克莱尔才意识到托尼早就把前边窗户的窗帘拉开了。客人们早把这一切都看得一清二楚！
克莱尔和她的房子、美食给女士们留下了深刻的印象。就 在她们离去之前，克莱尔听到格拉迪斯跟另外一个女人小声地说，她从来没有见过像托尼这样英俊的男人。受到那些女土的妒忌，这该是多么甜美的胜利！克莱尔也许并没有她们那样漂亮，但是她们中没有任何一个人拥有这样英俊的情人。
这时候，她记起来了——托尼只不过是一台机器。她高声嚷着：“让我独自呆一会儿！”就跑上床。她哭了一个通宵。第二天早晨开来一辆汽车，把托尼接走了。
公司对托尼同克莱尔相处三个星期的实验报告非常满意。托尼保护了一个人免受伤害。他使克莱尔没有因为她的失败感而伤害自己。那天晚上，他拉开了窗帘，让其他女人看到了他和克莱尔在一起，他明白这么做对克莱尔的婚姻并不造成危害。但是，尽管托尼很聪明，他还得作一番改建——总不能让女人和机器相爱吧。

A BIOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOV
Isaac Asimov was an American scientist and writer who wrote around 480 books that included mystery stories，science and history books，and even books about the Holy Bible and Shakespeare. But he is best known for his science fiction stories. Asimov had both an extraordinary imagination that gave him the ability to explore future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for explanations of everything，in the present and the past.
Asimov’s life began in Russia，where he was born on 2 January,1920.It ended in New York on 6 April,1992，when he died as a result of an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion nine years earlier.
When Asimov was three，he moved with his parents and his one year old sister to New York City.There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so years.At the age of nine，when his mother was pregnant with her third child，Asimov started working part time in the store. He helped out through his school and university years until 1942，a year after he had gained a master’s degree in chemistry.
In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a junior chemist and worked there for three years.In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry.The next year he became a biochemistry teacher at Boston University School of Medicine.In 1958 he gave up teaching lo become a full time writer.
It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious.He had told a friend two chapters of a story he had written.The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book.This really surprised Asimov and from that moment，he started to take himself seriously as a writer.
Asimov began having stories published in science fiction magazines in 1939.In 1950 he published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book.
Throughout his life，Asimov received many awards，both for his science fiction books and his science books.Among his most famous works of science fiction，one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (1951～1953)，three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future.It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future.
These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical framework which was designed to show how ideas and thinking may develop in the future.He is also well known for his collection of short stories，I，Robot (1950)，in which he developed a set of three “laws” for robots.For example，the first law states that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured.Some of his ideas about robots later influenced other writers and even scientists researching into artificial intelligence.
Asimov was married twice.He married his first wife in 1942 and had a son and a daughter.Their marriage lasted 31years. Soon after his divorce in 1973，Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife.
艾萨克·阿西莫夫传
艾萨克·阿西莫夫是美国的科学家兼作家，他写过大约480本书，包括怪诞小说、科学和历史方面的书，甚至还写过有关《圣经》和莎士比亚的书。但是，他最有名的作品是他的科幻小说。阿西莫夫不仅有着超凡的想象力，使他能对未来世界进行探索，而且还有着惊人的智力，使他能对现在的和过去的各种事物作出解释。
阿西莫夫的一生从俄罗斯开始，他生于1920年1月2日；阿西莫夫的一生在纽约结束，他死于1992年4月6日，他是因为在9年前的一次输血中感染了艾滋病病毒而去世的。
阿西莫夫三岁的时候，就随同父母和年仅一岁的妹妹迁到纽约。在那儿，他的父母买下了一家糖果店，后来一直经营了大约40年。阿西莫夫九岁的时候，母亲怀了第三个孩子，他就开始在糖果店里兼职工作了。他读中学和大学期间都在糖果店里工作，一直到1942年，也就是他获得化学硕士学位一年以后他才停止糖果店的工作。1942年，他在费城海军造船厂担任初级化学师，干了三年。1948年他获得化学博士学位。第二年他在波士顿大学的医学院任生化教员。1958年他放弃了教学工作成为专职作家。
早在阿西莫夫11岁的时候，他的写作才华就已经显露出来了。他把他写的小说中的两个章节念给他的朋友听。这个朋友还以为他是在复述某本书上的故事呢。这使阿西莫夫很惊讶，从那以后，他就开始认真地从事写作了。1939年，阿西莫夫开始在科幻杂志上发表故事。1950年出版了他的第一部小说，1953年出版了他的第一部科学书籍。
阿西莫夫一生中多次获过奖，既有科幻小说奖，也有科学书籍奖。在他那些最富盛名的科幻小说中，有本获奖的书叫做《基地》三部曲(1951～1953)，有三个小故事，讲的是未来银河系中的一个伟大帝国的灭亡与复兴。
基本素材取自于罗马帝国的衰败，但讲的是有关未来的事情。这些书之所以有名，是因为阿西莫夫创造了一套理论框架，用以阐述各种想法在未来可能如何发展。他的短篇小说集《我，机器人》(1950)也是享有盛名的，在这本书里他提出机器人的三大“原则”。举例来说，第一条原则就规定机器人不得伤害人类，也不能允许人类受到伤害。他那些有关机器人的想法后来影响了其他的作者，甚至影响了那些从事人工智能研究的科学家们。
阿西莫夫结过两次婚。他于1942年同他的第一任妻子结婚，生有一男一女。这次婚姻持续了31年。1973年离婚后不久，阿西莫夫又结婚了，但是他与第二任妻子没有生育儿女。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Stress is a major part of life.Contrary to popular belief，stress can actually come from almost every situation whether they bring excitement，happiness，sadness or anxiety.On the other hand，many simple ways can be used to reduce the danger of stress.
The effect of stress on the body depends on its intensity (强度)．In small quantities，stress can be a source of productivity and motivation.However，too much of it could result in depression，heart disease and infection.It is also said to be one of the causes of overeating.
The fast paced world is filled with the pressures of work and the demands of living increase stress.In recent years as people are made to believe that using spa services is the only effective way to reduce stress，the spa businesses have been a booming industy.However，here are some simple ways in which you could deal with stress without much cost.
Talk about what causes the stress.Talking about problems and sources of anxiety is a great way to release the burden of having to deal with a stressful day.It not only removes stress，but it improves your social life and keeps you in touch with friends and family.
Keep a journal and write about your feelings.There are some people who might not be that comfortable sharing their emotions with others no matter how close they are to that person.When this is the case，journal writing is the way to go.
Laugh at short funny jokes.Studies show that 40% of the people who have heart diseases are less likely to laugh.Funny as it may seem，laughter is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to relieve stress.Joking around with friends and watching funny films or TV shows are cheap and fun ways to reduce stress.
Stress may be part of everyday living，but that doesn’t necessarily mean letting it take over your life.Paying attention to the positive is one solution.After all，stress is not what occurs；it’s how one reacts to it.

To help children become better readers，a Kansas State University professor thinks they may need to spend less time with their noses stuck in books.
Lotta Larson，a K State assistant professor of elementary education，is finding that electronic readers allow children to interact (互动) with texts in ways they don’t interact with the printed words.
Since 2009，Larson has been using the Amazon Kindle e reader in her work.The e reader has features that make the text easy to hear，increase or decrease font (字体) size and let readers make notes about the book.
“It’s interesting to see kinds of things these kids have been able to do，” Larson said.
She said sometimes they make comments summarizing the plot (情节)，therefore strengthening their understanding of the book.Other times they consider character development，writing down things like “If I were him，I’d say no way！”．
“As a teacher，I know a student understands the book if she’s talking to the characters，” Larson said.“If you take a look at those notes，it’s like having a look into their brains as they’re reading.”
She said the perfect result would be for teachers to improve teaching reading by tailoring (适应) it to each student.Tests have already shown improvement in the students’ opinions of their own reading ability.Larson said the next step would be to gather quantitative data on how reading scores are affected.
Larson will present the work at the International Reading Association Conference in Chicago.Now，Larson is working with e readers for students who have special needs.
“I think that’s where we’ll really be able to make a big difference，” Larson said.
She’s also talking with middle school teachers about how downloadable e books might appeal to young teen boys who are unwilling to read.As computer addicts，“gadget savvy”__teenagers are expected to be equally interested in reading when it’s done on their computers.
语篇解读： 本文介绍了允许读者进行互动的新型电子书浏览器。
6．The characteristic of the e reader is________.
A．it can provide readers with books free of charge
B．the texts on the e reader are simple to understand
C．interaction with the texts on it is allowed
D．readers can know writers’ ideas immediately

答案： C
7．What do we know from Larson
A．Students’ minds can be read easily through e readers.
B．Students should read a lot to improve their reading ability.
C．E readers affect students’ scores in different ways.
D．She will make e readers that are useful to students with special needs.
解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二、三段的Larson is working with e readers for students who have special needs和that’s where we’ll really be able to make a big difference可知选D项。
答案： D
8．“Gadget savvy” teenagers in the last paragraph may refer to students who________.
A．are interested in reading B．are interested in computers
C．know nothing about reading D．know nothing about computers
解析： 推理判断题。根据句末的As computer addicts以及when it’s done on their computers可以推知，这类学生可能对计算机感兴趣。gadget小器具，小装置；savvy有见识的，懂实际知识的。

9．What would be the best title for the passage
