    【1】Hello. Welcome to the program. In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.

    【题目】When I was a kid, the thing I enjoyed most about New Years Eve was trying to stay awake until midnight. 【1】 However, I usually fell asleep before the New Year arrived. It wasn’t until my 10th birthday that I reached the finish line and was able to cheer with the rest of the family. When I woke up the next morning, my mom asked me if I wanted to make a New Year’s resolution（决心要做的事）.

    【2】 After she explained it to me, I said I would try to fight less with my older brother. This got me a smile and a pat on the head from my mom. Unfortunately, the resolution lasted only until dinnertime. 【3】 A New Year’s resolution is a decision to do or not do something in order to accomplish a personal goal or break a habit. It comes at a time when people look back at the past year and make an effort to improve themselves as the New Year begins.

    【4】 Kids make resolutions to get along better with others or to do their homework right away.

    Remember that it takes work to keep a New Year’s resolution. 【5】 As long as you stay committed to what you want to accomplish, you’ll be proud of yourself in the end. And you’ll be a better person at the end of the year than you were at the beginning!

    A. My parents didn’t force me to go to bed early.

    B. I had no idea what a New Year’s resolution was.

    C. Don’t worry if you fail to make it once or twice.

    D. Be kind to your friends, teachers and family members.

    E. You can consider the following New Year resolutions.

    F. Adults often make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight or exercise more.

    【题目】 Utah Lake is, in a word, disgusting. The State of Utah has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake. It has indeed produced some active effects. However, due to the wastewater getting into it，this body of water is rich in nutrient and home to water bloom. Overfishing and the introduction of invasive species have only made the problem worse. In the summer of 2016，500 people in Utah complained about their headaches, skin rashes and discomfort after swimming in the lake.

    The Utah Lake Restoration Project is headed by Parker. He imagines a beautiful lake dotted with man-made islands where a community could be built. Parker frequently goes to Capitol Hill to push for the proposal of the comprehensive lake restoration. Parker follows his rules "big ideas are worth approaching"，as the project calls for lake digging, the creation of islands，the removal of invasive species to restore the habitats of native plants，fish and so on.

    Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration Project，Ben Holcomb said, "It is not quite in line with reality.” He added，"Despite impressive computer models and the current project report， the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the actual field research to show that this project will have a positive effect on the lake's ecosystem.”

    When asked how the public would help beautify Utah Lake, the lake's official workers suggested picking up garbage. However, it has a greatly limited effect on the overall health of the lake. Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but in reality the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The State of Utah should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical findings. Only then can the State of Utah make an educated decision on behalf of people and resources.

    【1】What can we learn from paragraph l？

    A.The State of Utah has tried to restore Utah Lake.

    B.It is not difficult to save Utah Lake for the State.

    C.People living around Utah Lake are healthy and happy.

    D.People don't swim in Utah Lake because of its pollution.

    【2】What's the purpose of the Utah Lake Restoration Project

    A.To build a community near Utah Lake.

    B.To make the water of Utah Lake rich in nutrient.

    C.To make Utah Lake popular with foreign tourists.

    D.To build a safe home for native creatures in Utah Lake.

    【3】What's Ben Holcomb's attitude towards the Utah Lake Restoration Project?

    A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.

    C.Unconcerned.D.Approving.

    【4】What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph

    A.Picking up garbage is the key to saving the whole lake.

    B.There's no proper way to save the health of Utah Lake.

    C.Parker's plan needs some field research and adjustment.

    D.Local people should take responsibility for saving Utah Lake.

    【题目】 Finding time to do both homework and exercise is getting easier for students at a growing number of schools. Workout machines are appearing in many school libraries. The latest school to fix the Fit Desk Bike Desk is Troy University， which now has a total of six in the libraries. Over the past three years， the Bike Desks have also been fixed at four other universities.

    The idea of pushing "active workplaces" is far from new. From standing offices to treadmill （跑步机）meetings， companies have been exploring the benefits of getting employees up from their desks-benefits that include higher morale （士气）and improved work performance. And a recent study that focuses on younger children suggests a strong connection between physical activities and good grades.

    Chris Shaffer， who is director of library services at Troy University， says he thought it would be worth experimenting with the machines. "The final goal is to make the library a welcoming place that our students want to visit"， says Shaffer， "If we can find a way to let our students study and become healthier at the same time， then I am all for it. " He says the experiment is so successful so far that the university has ordered three additional Bike Desks.

    Troy junior Niquette says the bikes have been in use every day he has visited the library. "Keeping a proper diet and exercise schedule during college is near impossible， "he says， "These offer a special way to study and I hope the university continues to add more." Senior Raven hasn't used the Bike Desks yet but says she wishes they'd been fixed sooner. "I remember being a junior and the gym is so crowded， with the smell of sweat， loud music and people moving around，" Raven says， "I think the machines are a great idea. You can do sports quietly while others focus on their study.

    【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph？ ______

    A.University students are doing more exercise now.

    B.Doing homework is easy for university students now.

    C.Troy University introduced the Bike Desk to other schools.

    D.Fixing workout machines in libraries is becoming popular.

    【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about？ ______

    A.The types of exercise at workplaces.

    B.The explanation of work performance.

    C.The development of active workplaces.

    D.The benefits of exercising during work and study.

    【3】What is the purpose of fixing the Bike Desks according to Shaffer？ ______

    A.To make the library attractive to students.

    B.To make students become healthier.

    C.To help students to get good grades.

    D.To do experiments on the machines.

    【4】What do Niquette and Raven think about the bikes？ ______

    A.They are easy to ride.

    B.They are really useful.

    C.They make the library noisy.

    D.They distract students.

    【题目】 Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin（胰岛素）three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren’t bad enough, he had no health insurance.

    After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he’d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.

    Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children’s forums together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over,” says Swencki, one of the site’s volunteers. “They know what he’s going through, so he doesn’t feel alone.”

    Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.

    These days, Thomas’s main focus is his charity, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can’t afford a diabetic’s huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.

    Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. “Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure,” says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar’s original members. “But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”

    【1】From the passage, what do we know about Christopher Thomas?

    A.He needs to go to the doctor every day.

    B.He studies the leading cause of diabetes.

    C.He has a positive attitude to this disease.

    D.He encourages diabetics by writing articles.

    【2】What was the purpose of the Diabeitcrockstar.com?

    A.Diabetics can communicate with each other.

    B.It helps volunteers find jobs.

    C.Children can amuse themselves.

    D.Rock stars can share resources.

    【3】What can we learn about Fight It?

    A.It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.

    B.It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.

    C.It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.

    D.It owns a well-known medical website.

    【4】What can we know about Thomas in the last paragraph?

    A.He works full-time in a diabetes charity.

    B.He employs 22 people for his website.

    C.He helps diabetics in his own way.

    D.Thomas tries to find a cure for diabetes.

    【题目】Robot are about to enter our lives. From doing housework, entertaining and educating our children, to looking after the elderly, scientists say we will soon be welcoming robots into our homes and workplaces.

    Researchers believe we are on the cusp (过渡点) of a robot revolution that will mirror the quick growth of the computer revolution. They are developing new laws for robot behavior, and designing new ways for humans and robots to communicate.

    “I think robots will change who we are, just as eyeglasses and fire changed who we were before, says Rodney Brooks, a director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

    Some ideas and technologies may sound like science fiction, but they are fast becoming science fact. Robots scientists invented are already beginning to perform everyday tasks like cleaning our floors. The latest types from Japan are able to help the elderly to get out of bed or get up after a fall. They can also remind them when to take medication (药物), or even help wash their hair.

    “Robot now are not human-like. For example they are things like automatic (自动的) beds and wheelchairs,” says Prof Hiroshi Ishiguro at Osaka University, Japan. He believes the time is coming when robots start looking less like machines, and more like us. “In the near future we are going to use more human-like robots. I really think so, says Prof Ishiguro.

    Prof Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California agrees. “I’m very excited about the fact that today we are trying to make robots that look like human beings,” she says.

    “I believe we love robots because they’re reflections (反映) of ourselves,” says Ken Goldberg, director of the Berkeley Center for New Media at the University of California at Berkeley.

    “Robots could be used in education, learning, and healthcare, where social support is important,” says Dr. Cynthia Breazeal, director of the Personal Robots Group at MIT.

    【1】Who believes that robots will bring great changes to our lives?

    A. Rodney Brooks. B. Hiroshi Ishiguro.

    C. Maja Mataric. D. Ken Goldberg.

    【2】Which of the following proverbs can best express the idea of the paragraph 4?

    A. Great hopes make great men. B. If we can dream it, we can do it.

    C. Where there is life, there is hope. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.

    【3】According to the text, future robots will .

    A. become smaller B. cheaper

    C. be more like machines D. be more like humans

    【4】What would he the best title for this passage?

    A. Ready for the Robot Revolution?

    B. The Uses of Future Robots

    C. The Changes for the Future World

    D. Happy About Scientific Development?
