Ⅳ.阅读理解

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, the 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 Wayne Rooney, who is one of the best football players in the world.

Mr Sammut also said，“In 1968, John McCarth y and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy, who was then the chess champion in Scotland, that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him. It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came in to 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, the 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 behaviors. Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems, great advances will also be needed in sensors (传感器) , energy storage, and materials.”

1．The RoboCup is aimed to develop robots that know how to ________.

A．play computer football games

B．play football and win in real matches

C．understand the rules of the football game

D．improve the skills of real football players

答案：B细节理解题。根据第二段“...where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.”可知应选B。

2．What kind of difficulties are the robots facing in playing football?

A．They can't run as fast as real people.

B．They can't recognize their partners accurately.

C．They can't control the ball well by themselves.

D．They can't pass the ball to their partners.

答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段“...the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ba ll and move the ball on their own...”可知应选C。

3．The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth ________.

A．in 1968 B．in 1978

C．in the 1990s D．30 years ago

答案：A细节理解题。根据第四段“In 1968，John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy, who was then the chess champion in Scotland...”可知应选A。

4．What's the best title for this passage?

A．Scientists' Wisdom in Designing Robot Football Players

B．Robot Football Players to Beat the World's Best Team by 2050

C．Robot Football Players' Bright Future

D．Mr Sammut—the Father of Robot Football Players

答案：B主旨大意题。文章主要讲的是机器人足球队在2050年可能会打败人类最好的足球队，故B项能体现文章的大意。

B

TOKYO—If you grow old in Japan, you may expect to be served food by a robot, ride a voice-recognition wheelchair or even possibly hire a nurse in a robotic suit—all examples of cutting-edge technology to care for the country's rapidly graying population.

With nearly 22 percent of Japan's population already aged 65 or older, businesses here have been rolling out everything from easy-entry cars to remotecontrolled beds, fueling a care-technology market worth some $1. 08 billion in 2006, according to industry figures.

At a home care and rehabilitation(恢复) convention in Tokyo this week, buyers crowded round a demonstration of Secom Co. 's My Spoon feeding robot, which helps elderly or disabled people eat with a spoon and a fitted swiveling(转动的) arm.

Operating a joystick (操纵杆) with his chin, developer Shigehisa

arm toward a block of soft tofu, deftly (灵巧地) getting the fork to break off a piece. The arm then returned to a preprogrammed position in front of the mouth, allowing

swallow.

“It's all about empowering people to help themselves，”Kobayashi said. The Tokyo-company has already sold 300 of the robots，which come with a price tag of $ 3,500.

give the elderly control over their own lives，”he said.

The rapidly aging population here has spurred a spate of concerns: a labour shortage, tax falls, financial difficulties in paying the health bills and pensions of large numbers of the elderly.

Moreover, a breakdown of family ties in recent years means a growing number of older Japanese are spending their golden years away from the care traditionally provided by children and grandchildren.

That's where cutting-edge technology steps in.

5．Shigehisa Kobayashi is the name of ________.

A．an elderly patient

B．a robot

C．the developer of the robot

答案：C细节理解题。从文章第四段可知，这是机器人的研发者。

6．The underlined word “maneuvered” in the fourth paragraph probably means “________”．A．moved skillfully B．turned carefully

C．lifted with effort D．fixed quickly

答案：A词义猜测题。从第四段对这一机器人的描述可知，因为它是专门喂老年人和残疾人食物的机器人，因此机器臂要能转动自如才行。

7．My Spoon feeding robot is specially designed for ________.

A．those aged 55 or older

B．those who have difficulty in feeding themselves

C．those who have lost the ability of eating

D．those who can move their arms freely

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors

Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here 's how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.

1．________ Often neighbors don't even know each other's names. But it's okay to be the one to break the ice, even if you've lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they're babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.

2．________ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they're far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and shop. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.

3．________ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you've finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking-and the talk will be good.

4．________ If you value a friendly relationship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Belive the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.

5．________ In a good relationship, it's really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you're truly concerned, you'll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up-a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it's needed. All it

takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.

A．Be a good listener.

B．Care about the details.

C．Strike up a conversation.

D．Make time for friendships.

E．Reach out to the newcomers.

F．Avoid causing inconveniences

文章大意：本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍如何跟邻居好好相处。

答案：

1．C由本段后面的信息“But it's okay to be the one to break the ice”可知，该段小标题是：Strike up the conversation，“开始交谈”。

2．E本部分的new neighbors 以及后面你可以为新邻居干的事情，可知，要主动接近新来的，故E项正确。

3．F本段介绍要借的邻居的东西，你的车不要挡道等，这表示不要给别人带来不便，故F项正确。

4．D本段第二句话就给了很好的提示：If you value a friendly relationships with your neighbors，spend time with them，故选D项：花点时间交朋友。

5．B本段主要介绍跟邻居相处时要注重细节。因为“it's really the little thing that count.”。

Ⅲ.阅读表达

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后字数要求)。

I have a friend who had financial problems and needed my help occasionally.

He was in his final year in University while I was in my third year. He needed some money for school fees and other academic purposes, and he came to me. Being a student，________，but I gave him what he needed on the agreement that he would pay back. I didn't bother him after that. I never asked when he'd pay back.

Later on, after he finished school, he got into another period of deep financial stress and called me on the phone. He asked to borrow some more money, promising that he'd pay all of it back once he landed a job. Out of kindness, I still gave him the exact amount he needed, which was twice the amount I had given him initially. He was so grateful. It's so hard to find someone willing to lend you that amount of money, even with interest.

Fast forward a few months later. One evening, I was feeling happy and love filled my heart. I felt like performing a special act of kindness. And then I thought, “Why not cancel my friend's debt? Things are so difficult for him, you know？” So I called him up and told him I had canceled his debt. He was shocked! He couldn't believe it. He was so happy and later sent me a message of heart-felt gratitude.

Me too! And I felt grateful for his gratitude.

In life, it is the small but powerful actions of love that matter. When life is over, that's what counts.

Ⅳ.任务型读写

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years.Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment.With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and more expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them. The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(处理器), or WPS as they are often called.40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.

There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager.The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers.He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss.From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.

But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed.Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器)．The case of a slow loss of sight among people using

word processors seems to have risen greatly.It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed.Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.

Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.

Jimmy：Oh, yes. I was standing outside the bank building and I saw it quite clearly.

Policeman：Do you know what time it was?

Jimmy：Yes. __1__ It was 2∶45 exactly.

Policeman：Good. __2__

Jimmy：Well, quite slowly—about 10 miles an hour. It was coming up York Road. __3__ But they were still red when he went over them.

Policeman：I see. __4__ Was it also driving slowly?

Jimmy：It was coming along Union Street about 30 miles per hour. It was a blue Toyota car. __5__

Policeman：Did you see what color his traffic(交通) light was?

Jimmy：Yes, it changed to yellow just before he crossed it.

A．What about the car?

B．I checked my watch.

C．Didn't you see the car?

D．Now，how fast was the truck moving?

E．Was the car going beyond the speed limit?

F．I suppose the truck driver knew the lights were going to change. G．The driver stopped his car when he saw the truck crossing the street. 答案：1～5BDFAG
