A
A
company
has
designed
a
water
bottle，the
Memobottle，which
is
ideal
for
the
office
worker's
bag，because
it's
completely
flat.With
the
same
shape
as
a
piece
of
paper，the
Memobottle
is
a
reusable
water
bottle
that
slides
into
your
bag
to
lie
next
to
books
and
laptops.The
bottle，which
can
also
be
washed
in
a
dishwasher，is
designed
to
help
reduce
the
number
of
plastic
bottles
in
landfills(废物埋填场)．
Two
creative
people
Jesse
Leeworthy
and
Jonathan
Byrt，both
28，designed
the
bottle
to
be
convenient
to
carry
and
environmentally
friendly.It
is
made
from
a
durable
and
dishwasher?friendly“green”plastic.
Leeworthy
and
Byrt，from
Australia，say
more
than
600
billion
single?use
bottles
were
sold
globally
last
year.In
America
alone，studies
show
that
around
1，500
single?use
water
bottle
are
consumed
every
second—only
20
percent
of
these
are
recycled.And
the
cost
of
buying
more
and
more
plastic
bottles
adds
to—the
pair
say
that
bottled
water
costs
approximately
1，400
times
more
than
tap
water.
“We've
always
been
passionate
about
the
environment，”said
Leeworthy.“For
years
we
have
been
focused
on
creative
design
that
provides
environmental
remedy
while
improving
social
convenience.The
Memobottle
was
designed
to
overcome
the
two
problems
that
we
see
in
our
society:
our
attachment
to
the
outdoors，and
our
inability
to
fit
water
bottles
in
laptop
bags.”
The
bottle
will
be
available
in
three
different
sizes—A5
which
holds
750
ml，A4
which
holds
1.25
litres
and
letter
size
which
stores
1.25
litres.The
product
is
seeking
funding
on
Kickstarter
and
has
already
soared(飙升)
past
its
primary
goal
of
raising
￡8，310，reaching
it
in
just
36
hours.Jonathan
Byrt
said，“The
feedback
we've
received
has
been
overwhelmingly
positive!
The
email
of
support
and
interest，and
social
media
comments
have
been
amazing！”
The
product
is
expected
to
be
on
the
market
by
Christmas
and
will
be
available
for
global
delivery.

In
the
future，when
robots
can
be
used
both
in
homes
and
in
other
areas，they
could
improve
the
living
standards
of
people.Many
people
burn
their
energy
on
their
day?to?day
tasks
like
cooking，cleaning
after
work，etc.When
robots
can
complete
such
jobs，people
can
spend
more
time
with
their
family
and
friends.Experts
say
that
many
major
problems
in
the
modern
world
are
caused
by
miscommunication.When
people
have
more

can
talk
freely

solve
such
issues

eventually
create
a
happy
society.
Robots
can
be
used
on
certain
jobs
to
avoid
accidents
caused
by
careless
behavior
of
some
people.When
robots
are
used
on
such
work，it
does
not
risk
any
human
life
due
to
accidents
at
the
workplace.Human
resources
can
be
efficiently
used
by
performing
tasks
which
demand
human
skills
like
critical
thinking
and
problem
solving.Robots
can
be
used
on
low?end
jobs
like
moving
heavy
things
and
heavy
weight
lifting.
While
some
people
talk
about
how
robots
can
be
useful
to
humans，others
voice
their
concerns
about
reduction
in
human
value
and
the
creation
of
a
lazy
society
due
to
heavy
dependency
on
robots.When
robots
become
cheaper
to
produce，employers
may
prefer
to
use
more
robots
than
humans.As
the
technology
constantly
improves
the
abilities
of
robots，it
could
weaken
the
value
of
humans.Many
people
may
rely
on
robots
heavily.Some
may
even
develop
the
habit
of
using
robots
on
tasks
that
they
can
easily
do.This
could
create
a
lazy
society.
As
an
aging
society，Japan
sees
it
as
a
must
to
build
robots
that
take
care
of
elderly
people
at
their
homes，because
without
them，the
nation's
health
care
system
can't
cope.There
will
simply
be
too
many
elderly
people
to
care
for
as
the
nation
faces
a
decreasing
birth
rate，an
aging
population，and
the
loosening
of
family
ties.However，many
of
Japan's
elderly
people
would
prefer
human
helpers
rather
than
robots.Above
all，Japan
wants，if
not“needs”，its
dreams
of
robots
in
the
home
to
come
true
because
its
immigration(移民)
policy
is
anti?immigration.
In
conclusion，robots
can
be
used
on
anything
that
can
eventually
improve
humans'
living
standards
but
we
can't
depend
on
them
too
much.Robots
can
be
used
to
help
humans
live
in
harmony
and
form
a
happy
society.

Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When
Lisa
was
a
little
girl，she
learned
an
important
lesson
from
her
father.Her
father
told
her
that
when
facing
a
problem，she
should
never
give
up.Instead，she
should
try
another
solution.In
the
following
years，Lisa
always
remembered
her
father's
words.
When
Lisa
was
little，she
dreamed
of
becoming
a
fashion
designer.It
was
always
her
dream.But
it
was
not
an
easy
road.After
leaving
college，Lisa
went
to
Paris
with
her
designs
in
order
to
make
her
dream
come
true.In
Paris，she
tried
to
talk
to
famous
designers
and
show
them
some
of
her
designs，but
none
of
them
showed
any
interest.
Though
Lisa
was
discouraged，she
didn't
give
up.One
day，at
a
friend's
party，she
was
introduced
to
a
young
lady
who
was
dressed
in
a
beautiful
knitted(编织的)
sweater.It
wasn't
a
fancy
color，but
it
did
have
very
special
stitches(针法)．Lisa
asked
that
lady
if
she
knitted
it
herself.She
said
it
was
a
work
of
a
lady
in
Paris.
Lisa
really
loved
the
special
stitches
and
wanted
to
include
them
in
her
designs.And
then
Lisa
had
an
even
braver
idea.“Why
not
own
a
fashion
store
of
my
own？That
way，I
could
design，make
and
sell
my
own
clothes，”she
thought.So
she
decided
to
begin
with
that
kind
of
sweaters.
Lisa's
friend
introduced
her
to
Madam
Dean
who
knitted
that
sweater.The
lady
was
from
Armenia
and
she
learned
to
knit
that
kind
of
sweater
from
people
in
her
country.
Lisa
drew
a
picture
of
a
sweater
and
asked
Madam
Dean
to
knit
the
sweater
for
her.Madam
Dean
agreed.One
week
later，Lisa
got
the
sweater.The
following
day
after
Lisa
received
it，she
wore
it
to
a
party
in
the
fashion
industry.
Lisa
was
very
nervous
but
she
was
lucky.Not
long
after
the
party
began，her
sweater
drew
the
attention
of
a
store
owner
from
New
York.She
wanted
to
order
40
such
sweaters
in
two
weeks.Lisa
was
really
happy
and
accepted
the
order.

1：
The
next
day，Lisa
told

father's
words.
【参考范文】
Paragraph
1：
The
next
day，Lisa
told
the
good
news
to
Madam
Dean.She
told
her
about
the
order.Madam
Dean
almost
shouted
when
she
learned
about
that.“What?
40
such
sweaters
in
two
weeks?
That's
impossible!
Do
you
know
how
long
it
took
me
to
make
the
sweater
for
you?
It
took
me
one
week，”said
Madam
Dean.Lisa
was
very
sad
to
hear
that.But
she
didn't
want
to
lose
such
a
great
opportunity.It
was
really
important
to
her.
Paragraph
2：
Lisa
then
remembered
her
father's
words.She
decided
to
find
another
solution.She
thought
that
Madam
Dean
might
not
be
the
only
one
in
Paris
who
knew
how
to
knit
that
kind
of
sweater.She
asked
Madam
Dean
if
she
knew
anyone
else
who
could
help
her.Madam
Dean
then
started
to
make
some
phone
calls.Finally，she
found
20
women
who
agreed
to
help
her.At
last，all
the
sweaters
were
finished
in
two
weeks.The
sweaters
were
all
delivered
to
New
York
on
time.Lisa
was
closer
to
her
dream.

英语中有两种语态，一种是主动语态，一种是被动语态。如果主语是动作的执行者，或者动作是由主语完成的，要用主动语态；如果主语是动作的承受者，则用被动语态。
[观察例句]
1．It

by
Larry's
wife，Claire.
2．All
the
work
has

[归纳用法]
1．例句1中的黑体词部分为过去将来时的被动形式，其构成是was/were
going
to＋
be＋
done。
2．例句2中的黑体词部分为现在完成时的被动形式，其构成是has/have
＋
been
＋
done。
3．例句3中的黑体词部分为过去进行时的被动形式，其构成是was/were
＋
being

＋done。
5．例句5中的黑体词部分为动词不定式一般式的被动形式，其构成是to＋
be
＋
done。
一、被动语态的基本构成和用法
被动语态由“be＋过去分词”构成，被动语态的时态、人称和数的变化主要体现在be的变化上，其变化形式与系动词be的完全一样。
下面以do为例列举各种时态的被动语态的形式。

到下个月底这项工作将会已经完成。
[即学即练1] 用所给动词的适当形式填空
①The
tourists
were
accompanied
(accompany)
by
a
guide
when
they
travelled
in
Beijing.
②He
is
envied
(envy)
by
many
men，because
he
has
a
big
house，a
car
and
a
good
family.
③The
students
have
been
working
hard
on
their
lessons
and
their
efforts
will
be
rewarded
(reward)
with
success
in
the
end.
二、使用被动语态应注意的几个问题
1．否定词not的位置
在第一个助动词或情态动词之后。
He
was
extremely
disappointed
to
hear
that
he
would
not
be
given
a
doctor's
degree.
听到不会获得博士学位，他沮丧到了极点。
2．“get＋过去分词”也表被动
We
got
separated
when
we
entered
the
big
hall.
我们进入大厅时被挤散了。
3．“be＋过去分词”并非都是被动语态
系动词
be，feel，seem，look等词后面的过去分词已转化为形容词，作表语用，构成系表结构，表示某种状态。
I'm
interested
in
mathematics.
我对数学感兴趣。
He
seems
unsatisfied
with
his
work.
他似乎对自己的工作不满意。
4．某些情况用主动语态来表示被动含义
有些动词如read，write，clean，wash，iron，burn，draw，cook，keep，cut，open，blow，peel，sell，act等用作不及物动词且表示主语的某种属性时，常和副词well，easily，smoothly等连用，且通常用主动结构表示被动含义。
这些动词的主语一般是表物的词，且这些物往往具有某种内在的特点，这些句子的时态多用一般现在时或一般将来时。
The
door
doesn't
open
easily.
门不容易打开。
Bikes
of
that
kind
sell
well.
那种自行车好卖。
5．动词短语
动词短语在主动结构中是不可分割的，在被动结构中也是如此，不可去掉后面的介词或副词。
The
old
man
was
often
laughed
at.
那位老人经常受人嘲笑。(不可省掉介词at)
[即学即练2] 用所给动词的适当形式填空
①As
we
all
know，this
pen
writes(write)
smoothly.
②I
was
taken(take)
good
care
of
by
my
uncle
when
I
was
young.
三、动词不定式的被动形式
动词不定式所修饰的名词或代词与其是被动关系时，动词不定式一般使用被动形式。不定式的被动式可分为一般式和完成式。
构
成
意
义
一般式
to
be
done
表示发生在谓语动词之后或同时发生的被动动作
完成式
to
have
been
done
表示发生在谓语动词之前的被动动作
1.动词不定式被动式的句法功能
(1)作主语
Sometimes
to
be
understood
is
not
an
easy
job.
有时被人理解并不是一件容易的事。
[名师点津]
①动词不定式(短语)作主语时，常用it作形式主语，而把真正的主语放在后面。
It
is
an
honour
to
be
invited
to
speak
here.
能被邀请在这儿讲话，真是一件荣幸的事。
②单个动词不定式(短语)作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。

be
adopted
by
a
key
university
is
difficult
for
him.
对他来说，被一所重点大学录取是困难的。

many
problems
to
be
solved
(solve)
before
we
are

for
a

Moon.
2．不定式的主动形式表示被动意义
(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，又和句中另一名词或代词构成主谓关系时，不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。
I
have
a
lot
of
things
to
do
this
afternoon.
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)
对比：

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之间不存在主谓关系，只和前面的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。
This
problem
is
difficult
to
work
out.
这个问题很难计算出来。
(3)在too...to...结构中，不定式前面可加逻辑主语，所以应用主动形式表示被动意义。
This
book
is
too
expensive
(for
me)
to
buy.
这本书太贵，我买不起。
(4)be
to
blame常用主动表示被动。
Who
is
to
blame
for
starting
the
fire?
谁应为放火受责备？
[即学即练4] 用所给动词的适当形式填空

was
hard
to
operate
(operate)．
④We
have
four
reading
passages
to
complete
(complete)
in
the
coming
holiday.
四、动词?ing的被动形式
动词?ing形式所表示的动作是一个被动动作时，要用动词?ing的被动形式。包括其一般形式和完成形式。
(一)动词?ing被动形式的构成
形式
用法
一般式

done
被动的动作正在进行或与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生
完成式

五、几种特殊用法
1．在deserve，need，require，want等词之后，总是用动词?ing的主动形式表达被动意义，相当于“to
be＋过去分词”。
The
blackboard
needs
cleaning.＝The
blackboard
needs
to
be
cleaned.
黑板需要擦干净。
The
broken
window
wants
repairing.＝The
broken
window
wants
to
be
repaired.
那个破窗户需要修理。
2．be
worth后也常跟动词?ing的主动形式表达被动意义。
The
book
is
worth
reading
again.＝The
book
is
worthy
of
being
read
again.＝The
book
is
worthy
to
be
read
again.
这本书值得再读一遍。
3．动词?ing被动式的复合结构
当动词?ing被动式的逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致时，要在动词?ing形式之前加上物主代词或名词所有格(整个复合结构不作主语时，可用人称代词宾格代替物主代词，名词普通格代替名词所有格)
I
am
very
pleased
at
you/your
having
been
honored
with

[典例]
Benjamin
West，the
father
of
American
painting，showed
his
talent
for
art
when
he
was
only
six
years
of
age.But
he
did
not
know
about
brushes
before
a
visitor
told
him
he
needed
one.In
those
days，a
brush
was
made
from
camel's
hair.There
were
no
camels
nearby.Benjamin
decided
that
cat
hair
would
work
instead.He
cut
some
fur
from
the
family
cat
to
make
a
brush.
The
brush
did
not
last
long.Soon
Benjamin
needed
more
fur.Before
long，the
cat
began
to
look
ragged(蓬乱的)．His
father
said
that
the
cat
must
be
sick.Benjamin
was
forced
to
admit
what
he
had
been
doing.
The
cat's
lot
was
about
to
improve.
That
year，one
of
Benjamin's
cousins，Mr.Pennington，came
to
visit.He
was
impressed
with
Benjamin's
drawings.When
he
went
home，he
sent
Benjamin
a
box
of
paint
and
some
brushes.He
also
sent
six
engravings(版画)
by
an
artist.These
were
the
first
pictures
and
first
real
paint
and
brushes
Benjamin
had
ever
seen.
★What
does
the
underlined
sentence
in
Paragraph
3
suggest?
A．The
cat
would
be
closely
watched.
B．The
cat
would
get
some
medical
care.
C．Benjamin
would
leave
his
home
shortly.
D．Benjamin
would
have
real
brushes
soon.
D [根据文中的“Before
long，the
cat
began
to
look
ragged(蓬乱的)．”和“When
he
went
home，he
sent
Benjamin
a
box
of
paint
and
some
brushes.”可知，为了制作画笔本杰明剪猫的毛使猫“破相”，接下来讲到堂兄给他送来了颜料和画笔使猫的命运得到改善，隐含着“本杰明将得到真正的画笔”。由此可推知D项与画线句的意思相符。]

smell，Hana?chan
will
happily
wag
its
tail，if
it's
exposed
to
feet
that
are
mildly
smelly，it'll
start
to
bark，and
if
they
give
off
an
extremely
bad
smell，it'll
just
fall
over
like
the
smell
caused
it
to
faint(昏倒)．
Foot
odor(脚臭)
is
a
big
deal
in
Japan，where
it's
a
custom
for
people
to
take
off
their
shoes
whenever
they
enter
someone's
home.In
fact，exposing
others
to
bodily
odors
can
be
considered
annoyance
in
Japan.Some
of
the
most
brilliant
minds
in
the
country's
tech
industry
have
been
trying
to
solve
this
problem.Last
year，Thanko
started
selling
armpit(腋窝)
fans
designed
to
keep
people's
armpits
nice
and
dry.Now，we
have
Hana?chan.
The
robot
dog
has
a
special
sensor
for
a
nose，and
can
tell
you
if
your
feet
are
smelly
just
by
sniffing
them
for
a
few
seconds.According
to
some
media
reports，Hana?chan
can
help
solve
the
problem
of
extremely
smelly
feet
by
spraying
them
with
air
freshener，but
it's
unclear
whether
this
feature
comes
built?in，or
if
you'll
have
to
pay
extra
for
it.
According
to
researchers
at
NextTechnology，the
idea
for
Hana?chan
was
inspired
by
a
person
who
desperately
wanted
some
way
to
know
if
his
feet
smelled.“He
told
us
his
daughter
had
said
his
feet
were
smelly，”
NextTechnology's
Kimika
Tsuji
said.“But
he
didn't
want
to
know
how
bad
the
odor
was
because
he
would
feel
hurt.That's
why
we
developed
this
cute
robot.”
You
may
be
able
to
make
Hana?chan
faint
with
your
smelly
feet，but
it
can
have
the
same
effect
on
budget?conscious
people.
NextTechnology
plans
to
start
selling
the
feet?smelling
robot
dog
for
￥100，000
next
May.
★What
does
the
underlined
part
in
the
last
paragraph
imply?
A．Hana?chan
is
no
cheap
thing.
B．People
should
mind
their
smelly
feet.
C．People
should
be
careful
about
their
budget.
D．Hana?chan
makes
people
loosen
their
budget.
A [句意理解题。画线句子句意：你也许可以用你的臭脚让Hana?chan晕过去，但它对注重预算的人也有同样的效果。此处指的是对注重预算的人来说，听完它的价格也会晕过去。根据下面的价格也可推知它很昂贵。故选A。]速读P2－3教材课文，完成下列任务

A
Claude
Sammut，a
professor
of
computer
science
and
engineering
at
the
University
of
New
South
Wales
in
Australia，said
it
would
soon
be
possible
for
robots
to
defeat
the
stars
of
the
future.
For
many
years，Mr.Sammut
has
been
a
member
of
a
project
called
RoboCup，where
robots
have
been
programmed
to
learn
how
to
play
football
and
compete
against
others
in
a
football
match.
As
he
explains，robots
are
having
difficulty
in
learning
how
to
control
the
ball
and
move
the
ball
on
their
own，but
he
is
still
full
of
confidence
that
one
day
in
the
future
they
will
show
the
same
skills
as
Wayae
Rooney，who
is
one
of
the
best
football
players
in
the
world.
Mr.Sammut
also
said，“In
1968，John
McCarthy
and
Donald
Michie
made
a
bet
with
David
Levy，who
was
then
the
chess
champion
in
Scotland，that
within
10
years
a
computer
programme
would
be
able
to
beat
him.It
took
a
little
bit
longer
than
10
years(nearly
30
years)
but
eventually
such
programmes
came
into
being.”
“In
the
same
spirit
of
a
grand
challenge，RoboCup
aims
to
develop
a
team
of
robots
that
can
defeat
the
world
soccer
champion
team
by
the
year
2050.To
achieve
this，or
come
even
closer
to
the
ambition，robots
will
have
to
be
able
to
sense
and
act
in
completely
unstructured
environments.This
will
require
major
advances
in
perception(感知)，decision?making，learning，and
cooperative
behaviours.Considering
robots
are
integrated
hardware
and
software
systems，great
advances
will
also
be
needed
in
sensors(传感器)，energy
storage，and
materials.”

2．What
kind
of
difficulty
are
the
robots
facing
in
playing
football?
A．They
can't

as
fast
as

B
A
little
girl
lines
up
plastic
letters
in
front
of
a
little
robot.The
robot
struggles
to
reproduce
them
on
a
tablet.The
girl
kindly
steps
in
to
help，writing
out
the
word
to
show
the
robot
how
to
do
it.She
puts
in
effort
to
teach
the
robot，without
realising
that
she
is
actually
the
one
who
is
improving
her
writing
skills.Yesterday，EPFL
researchers
introduced
their
new
teaching
tool
at
the
Conference
on
Human?Robot
Interaction(HRI)
held
in
Portland，the
USA.
The
program
is
based
on
a
principle
called“Learning
by
Teaching”．When
children
experience
difficulties
in
writing，they
can
easily
lose
confidence，or
even
gradually
lose
interest
in
the
learning
process.Eventually，their
entire
education
can
be
affected.When
students
put
themselves
in
the
place
of
a
teacher
and
pass
on
what
they
know
to
their
peers，they
can
regain
their
self?confidence
and
interest
in
their
studies.
Scientists
developed
progressive
writing
algorithms(算法)
and
used
them
in
an
existing
robot
model
which
was
designed
to
interact
with
humans.With
these
algorithms，the
machine
can
slowly
draw
words
on
demand，and
then
gradually
improve.To
do
this，it
uses
many
handwriting
examples，which
allow
it
to
reproduce
common
errors
made
by
young
children
while
learning.It
is
also
possible
to
program
the
robot
so
that
it
can
pay
attention
to
the
particular
difficulties
of
a
student.
The
system
has
already
been
used
in
primary
school
lessons
with
about
seventy
students
ranging
from
six
to
eight
years
old，and
then
individually
with
a
six?year?old
child
for
one
hour
per
week
over
the
course
of
one
month.So
far
the
system
has
been
very
well
received.

Ⅲ.阅读七选五
Dream
is
strength.The
strength
can
bring
us
wherever
we
want
to
get
to
and
it
can
bring
us
a
lot
of
wonders
on
our
way
to
the
place
in
our
dreams.
Dream
is
beauty.Maybe
you
can
see
the
things
full
of
magic
and
maybe
you
will
be
moved
by
your
own
dream.
1
．But
should
we
have
our
life
without
dreams?
Of
course
not.
Everyone
has
dreams
and
dreams
are
especially
important
to
teenagers.As
teenagers，you
have
many
dreams.These
dreams
can
be
very
big，such
as
winning
the
Nobel
Prize.Or
they
can
be
small，for
example，you
may
just
want
to
become
one
of
the
ten
best
students
in
your
class.
2
，what
do
you
do
with
it?
Do
you
ever
try
to
make
your
dream
come
true?
Andrew
Matthews，an
Australian
writer，tells
us
that
making
our
dreams
come
true
is
the
biggest
challenge
in
our
life.
3
，or
that
it
is
impossible
for
you
to
become
a
writer.
4
．In
fact，everyone
can
fulfill
his
dream.The
first
thing
you
must
do
is
remember
what
your
dream
is.Don't
let
it
leave
your
heart.Keep
telling
yourself
what
you
want.Do
this
step
by
step
and
your
dream
will
come
true
earlier
because
a
big
dream
is
made
up
of
many
small
dreams.
You
must
never
give
up
your
dreams.
5
．But
the
biggest
one
comes
from
yourself.You
need
to
decide
what
is
the
most
important
and
face
all
these
difficulties
bravely.
A．These
kinds
of
thoughts
stop
you
realising
your
dreams
B．There
will
be
many
difficulties
on
the
road
to
your
dreams
C．Once
you
find
a
dream
D．You
may
think
you're
not
very
good
at
some
school
subjects
E．Both
big
dreams
and
small
ones
are
very
important
to
our
lives
F．The
world
is
so
real
that
all
the
dreams
seem
weak
G．Your
talent
is
one
of
the
most
important
factors
in
living
your
dreams
【语篇解读】 这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了拥有梦想的重要性，以及在实现梦想的过程中可能遇到的一些困难。
1．F [由下文“But
should
we
have
our
life
without
dreams？”可知该空引出下文，F选项“世界如此真实，以至于所有的梦想似乎都很脆弱”切题，故选F。]
2．C [由下文“...what
do
you
do
with
it?
Do
you
ever
try
to
make
your
dream
come
true？”可知C选项“一旦你找到一个梦想”切题，故选C。]
3．D [由下文“In
fact，everyone
can
fulfill
his
dream.”可知，上文一定会列举一些消极的想法，和“or
that
it
is
impossible
for
you
to
become
a
writer”并列，D选项“你可能认为你不擅长一些学校的科目”切题，故选D。]
4．A [上文列举了消极的想法，空处应该说明这些想法带来的后果，故选A。]
5．B [由下文“But
the
biggest
one
comes
from
yourself.You
need
to
decide
what
is
the
most
important
and
face
all
these
difficulties
bravely.”可知，B选项“在通往梦想的路上会有很多困难”符合语境，故选B。]

When
I
was
a
college
student，I
did
a
lot
of
travelling
abroad.That
was
because
a
professor
1
me
to
do
so.She
said，“Now
it
is
time
for
you
to
travel
around
the
world，
2
your
knowledge
through
actual
experiences
and
have
fun！”I
agreed
with
her.
Since
I
started
to
work
for
a
3
company，however，I
have
done
most
of
my
travelling
through
the
Internet.By
using
the
Internet，I
have
seen
the
4
of
many
cities
on
my
computer
screen.And
I
have
really
made
business
5
，too.With
the
help
of
the
Internet，I
have
also
got
information
about
food
in
different
countries.
Therefore，I
was
beginning
to
feel
that
actual
trips
were
6
necessary
when
I
happened
to
read
a
famous
chef's(厨师)
comment
on
the
Internet.He
said，“It
is
very
difficult
to
have
real
Italian
food
in
a
foreign
country，because
we
enjoy
food
and
the
7
around
us
at
the
same
time.So
why
don't
you
fly
over
to
Italy
and
enjoy
real
Italian
8
？”Those
words
reminded
me
of
my
professor's
advice.As
information
technology
9
，you
might
be
able
to
do
without
making
some
real
trips.But
this
also
means
that
you
will
miss
the
various
10
you
can
get
from
travelling.
Today
there
are
people
who
11
direct
communication
with
others
and
spend
much
of
their
time
on
the
Internet.It
is
not
surprising
to
see
a
group
of
people
12
not
with
each
other
but
into
their
microphones.It
seems
as
if
such
people
are
surrounded
by
an
invisible
wall.They
seem
to
be
losing
out
on
a
good
chance
to
13
and
talk
with
other
people.I
do
not
think
that
they
are
taking
good
advantage
of
information
technology.We
should
use
information
technology
as
a
tool
to
make
our
daily
14
more
fruitful.However，we
should
never
let
it
reduce
our
time
for
face?to?face
communication.Let's
make
use
of
information
technology
more
15
and
have
great
fun
in
experiencing
the
actual
world.

He
spoke
to
the
woman，who
immediately
changed

attitude(14)．Claire
thanked
Tony，telling
him
that

stood
Gladys

was

suggested

to

the

before
he
was

she
fell

had
been
in

in

held
her(22)，she
felt

screamed，pushed

拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司工作。最近，该公司开始对一款家用机器人进行试验。这项试验将由拉里的夫人克莱尔来测试。
克莱尔并不想把机器人留在家里，特别是因为她丈夫将出差三个星期，但是拉里说服她说，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。然而当她初次见到机器人的时候就感到有点吃惊。他的名叫托尼。他看上去更像一个人，而不像台机器。他虽然面部表情始终如一，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。现在她被一个看起来很像人类的机器人照顾着，这让她觉得很不安。
有一天，克莱尔说，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，机器人向她表示同情，这有点荒唐可笑，但是她逐渐钦佩托尼的智慧和正直，并开始信任他了。他总是很有尊严地对待她。她告诉托尼她很不高兴，对于想要提高社会地位且拥有更高薪水的拉里来说，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，使她变得更漂亮，使她的家变得更高雅大方。于是克莱尔从图书馆借来一些书给托尼阅读，更确切地说是给他浏览一下。她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页。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新发型，又改善了她的化妆风格。因为托尼不被允许陪克莱尔去商店，所以托尼就写了一份购物清单，上面列出了装饰房子需要用到的东西。克莱尔到市区去买了这些东西。她按照约定去涂了指甲油，然后走进了一家昂贵的服装店。女店员对她很粗鲁，她就打电话给托尼，并告诉他自己受到了虐待。托尼同女店员通了电话，女店员马上改变了态度。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！从格拉迪斯脸上的表情来看，克莱尔知道，格拉迪斯认为他们在谈恋爱。毕竟格拉迪斯知道她的丈夫是拉里，而不是托尼。虽然这是完全无辜的，克莱尔还是感到内疚。
克莱尔回到家里，气得直哭。格拉迪斯的一举一动都是克莱尔想模仿的。托尼对克莱尔说，她这样想有点敏感，其实她就像格拉迪斯一样好。托尼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。到那时，托尼认为正在彻底改造的房子就已经完工了。
托尼有条不紊地搞着装修。克莱尔试图帮忙吊天花板上的灯，但她从梯子上摔了下来。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，跑回了她的房里。
聚会的那天晚上来到了。时钟敲响八点，客人们很快就要到了，克莱尔让托尼结束了当晚的工作。就在那一瞬间，托尼搂着她，把脸贴近她的脸。她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。1.

Science
fiction
is
definitely
not
pure
science，but
neither
is
it
pure
fiction.This
literary
genre，argues
science
fiction
writer
Ben
Bova，stands
as
a
bridge
between
science
and
fiction，between
reason
and
emotion.Moreover，science
fiction
is
not
mere
entertainment，but
has
a
more
important
role
to
play.Believe
it
or
not，it
can
help
us
to
understand
the
ways
in
which
our
world
may
change
and
assist
us
in
shaping
the
future
in
the
manner
that
we
wish.
Science
fiction
writers
are
not
in
the
business
of
predicting
the
future.They
do
something
much
more
important.They
try
to
show
the
many
possible
futures
that
lie
open
to
us.
Sometime
early
in
the
next
century，human
beings
will
move
into
habitats
on
Mars.They
will
live
there
for
about
a
year，and
then
will
be
replaced
with
another
set
of
pioneers.The
establishment
of
this
base
on
Mars
will
advance
our
knowledge
of
the
solar
system
and
aid
in
our
understanding
of
the
earth.
Terraforming
Mars
is
theoretically
simple:
add
nitrogen
and
oxygen
to
the
atmosphere；pump
water
to
the
surface；and
add
the
earth's
plants
and
animals
in
the
order
in
which
they
developed
on
Earth.But
it
will
take
at
least
300
years.
Some
people
think
that
such
a
project
is
too
huge
for
humans
to
accomplish，but
there
are
very
good
reasons
to
make
the
attempt.The
earth
now
contains
some
7
billion
people，and
no
one
knows
how
many
humans
the
earth
can
support.Our
very
existence
and
numbers
are
threatening
many
other
species
with
extinction.We
also
have
had
some
experience
with
terraforming
our
own
planet:
changing
the
landscape，the
atmosphere
and
the
climate.At
present，we
are
aware
of
the
importance
of
terraforming
the
earth
as
we
try
to
control
global
warming，air
and
water
pollution，and
protect
some
natural
habitats.
