Lizzie’s diary from Antarctica
Day 3: Tuesday December 2
We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We抎 be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can抰 fly at all.
We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we抎 be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.
It turned clear at 9: 30 and we took off at 10: 30 on a little red plane called Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn抰 be able to fly the whole day.
Day 4: Wednesday December 3
After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.
We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It is about minus 20℃ today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars (常客) here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!
Day 5: Thursday December 4
I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I’m told it’s a bit colder today, about minus 50℃, but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we’re allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.
Day 7: Saturday December 6
Not a cloud in the sky and it抯 warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).
The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery changes every day.
At first I thought I was going mad. I抎 step outside in the morning and think, 揑抦 sure that big mountain of ice wasn抰 there yesterday. Its because the sea ice is always moving梥lowly thankfully!

Do you know what to do if you see a bird with a broken wing in your backyard, or a hurt raccoon(浣熊) by the side of the road? Use your phone!
It’s never a good idea to touch a wild animal or to try to help one without professional guidance. The animal might be dangerous to you, and you could cause further injury without meaning to.
That’s why the wildlife-rescue organization Animal Watch has created a new mobile app. The app helps users find the right solutions for animals that need urgent (紧急的) care.
Animal Help Now uses your phone’s GPS to find where the animal is located. Then the app asks questions about the animal: Is it wild or raised by humans? Is it a pet or a farm animal? Could the animal put humans in danger?
Based on the location, the time of day, the type of animal, and the injury, Animal Help Now will suggest a care provider that抯 right for your situation. For wild animals, the app might suggest a nearby rescue facility that specializes in wounded wildlife. Or it might point you to registered care takers who nurse animals that have been hurt in the wild back to health. For pets or farm animals, the app lists the nearest veterinarians (兽医) who care for the type of animal that has been injured.
“The app is designed to work even when you don’t have cell or Internet access, ”Animal Watch director Dave Crawford tells National Public Radio.
揝o whether you抮e driving through a remote area on the eastern Colorado plains, hiking a trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, or simply passing through a dead zone on your way to work, you抣l still be able to immediately find the help you need. For now, Animal Help Now works only in Colorado, where Animal Watch is based. But the organization hopes to include information for users across the country.
5. If you help injured animals by yourself, you may _______.
A. become a danger to them
B. do more harm to them
C. make them become wilder
D. leave them in a dangerous situation
6. It can be inferred that Animal Help Now is _______.
A. an organization B. a website C. a mobile app D. a company
7. According to Dave, the app _______.
A. can work anywhere in Colorado
B. stops working on your way back
C. includes information across the country
D. needs to have access to the Internet
8. The best title for the passage may be _______.
A. Helping the Injured Animals in Time
B. Saving Animals with Your Phone
C. Providing Care for Wild Animals
D. Making a Call to Help Animals
C
Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like partners than tools. For example, these robots will be able to tell when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more properly to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn抰 just give general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each person in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential (潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these areas.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The companys Oshbot robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product抯 location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not aimed to replace workers, but to work together with other employees. 揥e have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us, said Breazeal.
9. How are social robots different from household robots?
A. They can control their feelings.
B. They are more like humans.
C. They do the normal housework.
D. They respond to users more slowly.
10. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A. Communicate with you and put on performances.
B. Answer your questions and make requests.
C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
11. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will _______.
A. be our workmates B. train employees
C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers
12. The underlined word 搑ecommendations in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _______.
A. suggestions B. commands C. expressions D. bargains

第一节 双向翻译(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)
请根据上下文内容, 将文中划线部分译成汉语或者英语。
Do you enjoy hitting the books? It doesn’t mean you enjoy beating your books with your hand. That may be reasonable if you don’t understand something inside your books. Hitting the books just means that you are studying hard. You can learn a lot when you hit the books. 36. Especially before exams, most students spend a lot of time hitting the books to get good grades.
This is just one example of expressions that can抰 be understood by taking them apart(分开)word by word. Expressions like this are called idioms(习语). They are an important part of a culture’s language. Languages and cultures are closely connected. One example of an idiom in the Chinese language is “dui niu tan qin”, or “to play the lute(拨弦乐器)to a cow. ”37. 这意味着某人在说话或写作时不考虑其听众或读者。
Let’s get back to idioms that begin with the word “hit”. 38. There are many of them in English, but it’s not that easy for you to understand. ?
One common idiom you may hear in English is “hit the road”. It means to leave or to go. You can say, “Hey, I need to hit the road. Can we talk about this another time? ” Or simply, “It’s time to hit the road. ” When you are tired and you want to go to bed, you can say, “I need to hit the hay(干草). ” It means you want to go to sleep. 39. That’s because a bed was often a big bag with hay inside in the past. ?
40. 习语使你的语言生动而有趣。 Let’s hit the road to learn some and try to use them.
