    Many companies use guards and expensive alarm systems to protect their property(财产)。 Soon a new kind of protection will be used- robots. Engineers have been working on the first mobile robots for businesses. The robots will patrol(巡逻) factories, warehoues(仓库)，and museums at night.
    The mobile robots will move around slowly on wheels. They will be able to detect people through walls and pick up sounds, such as breaking glass. They can be fixed with lound sirens(警笛) to frighten thieves, or radios to signal police or guards.
    To protect a building, a robot will have to move around without knocking into the walls. Information about the building will have to be stored in the robot’s small, built-in computer. A floor map could be programmed into the computer’s memory, for example.
    A mobile robot will not be able to do everything. Unlike human guards, it will not be able to climb stairs, open doors, or move along rough ground. It won’t be able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. Because of that, people will have to be barred from the area it patrols.
    One kind of mobile robot will be able to “sense” whether a chair or box has been moved and go around it. This robot will also judge size well enough so that it won’t send an alam if a cat crosses the room. And if someone tries to steal this robot, it will sound a loud, painful siren. The three-foot-tall robot will be hard to steal anyway. It will weigh about 200 pounds.
    U.S companies pay almost $10 billion a year to protect their property with alarm systems and human guards. Mobile robots may be cheaper.
    小题1:Why is the new kind of robots called mobile robots?
    A．Because they are able to climb stairs.B．Because they are able to send an alarm
    C．Because they can open doors.D．Because they can move around slowly on wheels
    小题2: How will a robot get directions for moving around a building?
    A．From a human guard .B．From a built- in computer.
    C．From another robot .D．From radio signals.
    小题3: What does the underlined word barred mean?
    A．protectedB．allowed .C．markedD．prevented
    小题4: According to the text, a mobile robot will NOT be able to ___________.
    A．sense whether something has been moved.B．sense a cat crossing the room.
    C．move over rough ground .D．detect people through walls.
    小题5:This text mainly describes how robots will ___________.
    A．protect the museumB．set off a siren .
    C．judge the size of a person.D．patrol buildings.

    People cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment? Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create “more perfect” human beings? While people are arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on.
    Some people carry on active social lives with computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms,  computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places.
    With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a way of sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users, the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes them want to write better.
    Computer technology has also made it possible to run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to starting the coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of people at home. Many modern machines have computer chips that allow their owners to program them. For instance, you can “instruct” a microwave oven how to cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that on cold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off.
    Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media ( i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer) going to control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships? What effects will the genentic engineering of food have on people’s health? High-tech medical treatments can make a person live a much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings? Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technology will continue to move forward. 
    小题1:What does the underlined word “ chips” mean?
    A．thin pieces of potatoesB．small holesC．small pieces of woodD．central parts
    小题2: We can know from the passage that _________.
    A．technology never stops changing our everyday lives
    B．with computers each of us can live a comfortable life
    C．people can do more activities with computers
    D．the more you use computers, the better you might write
    小题3: What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
    A．The longer you live, the happier you are.
    B．High-tech medical treatments can’t improve our health and happiness.
    C．High-tech medical treatments can’t help us with everything.
    D．The writer questioned high-tech medical treatments somehow.
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Science and New TechnologyB．Computers Change Our Lives
    C．Everyday Uses of TechnologyD．Only Time Will Tell

    Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars while you’re enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity on them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of their terrible shapes? As one of the most special groups, disabled people’s living conditions — not only their material (物质的) conditions, but their mental (精神的) world — really need improvement.
    The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are a part of the society (社会),we can’t discard (抛弃) them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people, that would be very nice. That does help not only to the disabled people but also to yourself because you will feel good after your kind action.

    Being able to multitask-- doing several things at the same time--is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
    What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
    Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
    Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
    小题1:What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?
    A．Want to buy.
    B．Use at the same time.
    C．Take the place of.
    D．Search information from.
    小题2:In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.
    A．family members do not greet each other
    B．family members do not eat at the family table
    C．young people get on well with their families
    D．young people hardly communicate with their family members
    小题3:What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
    A．Young people must learn skills for future jobs.
    B．Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets.
    C．Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
    D．Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.
    B．Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.
    C．Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.
    D．People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.
    小题5:The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by ________.
    A．providing special examples
    B．following the natural time order
    C．giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effects
    D．comparing opinions from different worlds
