Passage 9(2011 连云港,D)    

       Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars,carry heavy things,work in dangerous places and explore planets.But things haven’t stopped there.

      In 1986,Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now,it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg,ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk,fight,climb and run fast.Isn't it wonderful?

       The world's first robot teacher is Saya.With her human-like face,she can show expressions like happiness,surprise,sadness,dislike,fear and she can even smile or show anger at students,which look much like a real teacher^.To do this,her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside .And her eyes and moutli have wires (电线) too. She can also say some simple words like“ hello” or“ thank you 

      In the UK,the development of   robots is exciting.The mini-robots       will send food,clean floors,collect       and throw away waste.These robots can       open doors by themselves and stop if       anything or anyone is in the way.

      These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection (传染) .Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person,but here,you’ll have robots that do “ dirty work ”,like collecting dirty sheets,or taking away hospital waste;and you’ll have robots that do“ clean work”,like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there no way for infection,which is great.But of course,ro?bots would not take the place of humans,but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.

      But if this is what it's like in 2011,what's it going to be like in 2021?

1. In the following,which is ASIMO’s behavior?

   A. Smiling at people,saying“hello”.

   B. Sending food or opening doors by himself.

   C. Fighting,climbing or running fast.

   D. Collecting waste for patients.

2. What makes Saya look real?

   A. Her face and rich expressions.

   B. Her clothes and shoes.

   C. Her walking and running speed.

   D. Her rich knowledge.

3. Which of the following is tme according to the passage?

   A. Robots have come a long way since 1986.

   B. The first robot teacher was made by Honda.

    C. Saya looks like a small astronaut.

    D. lf anyone or anything is in the way,mini-robots will stop.

4. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that   .

      A. nurses would have more free time with patients

     B. robots would not take the place of humans

     C. dirty and clean work is always done by the same person

     D.   mini-robots are useful for controlling infection

1. C 2. A 3. D 4. D

Passage 9

[语篇解读]本文介绍了机器人在各个生活领域中的使用。

1. C 细节理解题。从第二段中 And he can walk,fight,climb and run fast.一句可知。

2. A细节理解题。从第三段中的第二句With her human-like face,she can...much like a real teacher's.可知

3. D推理判断题。从第四段中的尾句These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.可推知选 D 项.选项A错在since 1986上(从第一段第一句话可知) ;选项B错在结 尾的by Honda上(文章第三段并未指出Saya的制造者是谁) ;选项C 错在Saya—词上(从文章第二段可知:是ASIM0看上去像一个宇航 员,而不是Saya) 。

4. D主旨大意题。段落的中心观点往往出现在段落开头或结尾。阅 读本段后可知:本段主要围绕微型机器人在控制传染方面所起的作 用展开,故该段的第一句就成了本段的主要观点。故选   D.

[长难句]The robots have separate work so there's no way for infection , which is great.机器人有独立的工作,因此它们没有感染的途径,这一点很好。there's no way for infection 没有感染的途径;which is great 是非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的there's no way for infection。

Passage 12(2011黑龙江哈尔滨,A)

    That?s just the way it has always been,which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice,the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (实际上) , there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods,hut all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工业的) factories buill nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse,causing the city to sink about 0. 75 feet in the 20th century.

    So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOSE project,which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (欧元) on it.The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets (海湾) .Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37 feet tall,and weighs up to 22 tons. It's nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use,they are under the sea and full of water. When the flood comes,the water in the gates will be poured out,and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place,they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice.These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet,and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years,the MOSE will work as expected.

    The MOSE project is now two-thirds done.The head engineer,Giovanni Cecconi,said, uThis is a war.During the war,it's not impor?tant that you win. Ifs important that youVe alive. We're alive. 'Anyway,this project is saving Venice from falling.

3. When the flood comes,  can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.

          

   A. a—?b—>c   B. b——>^c   C. b—>c—?a 

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. The Italian government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.

  B. The MOSE project is half done now.

  C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37  feet tall,and weighs up to 22  tons.

Passage 7(2014江苏苏州工业园区,C)

    “Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.

    “ How could you tell? I didn’t shut the door heavily or any?thing, I replied.

    “I know moving to a new house has been hard on you.Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough ,” Papa said. “ What you must remember is that,with a lot of hard work and some time,you will make new friends."

    “You don't know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship.They won’t even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field,and that's the worst!”

    Papa turned toward me. Things will get better,I promise you. Let me ask you,do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?” “Yes,your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo." “Very good”and what makes youi. grandfather so important?”

    “ He was the first in the family to come to this country ,” 1 an?swered.

    “ That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man.In Mexico,he had been a teacher.When he came to America he could only get manual labor.(体力劳动) jobs because he didn't speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here,but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.

    I looked down at my feet,ashamed at my behavior. “No.That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.

    “Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your tal?ent,they will accept you for who you are.I want you to always remem?ber what my father taught me,even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are ,” said Papa.

    All I could say was ,“ Okay. ” Then I asked ,“ What should I do now?”

Laughing,Papa said ,“How about pitching? You need some practice."

    Most sporting arenas (竞技场) have rules for audience written on the back oi the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive.Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don't leave when a game is in progress. When you leave,remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish.

    During exciting games,try to control yourself.Don’t criticize (批评) the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words,since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.

    Clapping is a special form of body language you can use to communicate wilh players,but you should do it properly. When players first appear,clap your hands together to welcome them,but don't go on for too long. After an excellent performance,clap warmly. If someone fails,your clapping will help encourage them.
