    1．I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room．
      There，a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure．Some time later，in steps the doctor，who is also a robot．He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription （处方）．I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being．
      When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line，I am thrilled．And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store，I feel like shouting，"When it comes to cashiers，make mine human，please!"
      After all，human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon （优惠券） for items you are buying．Even more than that，real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children，which can brighten a young mother's day．A cashier may also show compassion （同情）for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse．
      What technological device would do any of this？I don't want to go back to the Stone Age，but I'm also worried about a world run by machines．Sometimes when you're chatting with someone，you discover things you need to know．Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child．Maybe a salesperson can offer a bit of encouragement to a customer who is feeling tired．
      Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine．But they lack an element so important to everyday life．
      Call it the spirit，the soul or the heart．It is something no machine will ever have．It is being human that encourages us to smile at others，which may be what they need at that moment．
    24．What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraphs？A
    A．To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life．
    B．To indicate high technology can make our future life very easy．
    C．To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors．
    D．To predict how technology can affect the way we see a doctor in the future．
    25．Why does the author prefer being served by humans rather than by robots？C
    A．Robots don't offer to give store coupons．
    B．Robots can't provide efficient services．
    C．Robots are indifferent and emotionless．
    D．Robots are unable to do a job as well as humans．
    26．What's the author's attitude towards machines？D
    A．He wishes one day they would come to life．
    B．He is absolutely against their existence in his life．
    C．He is afraid they would take the place of human beings．
    D．He doesn't like they affect his life too much．

    分析 本文是一篇议论文．作者通过描述一个全部由机器负责的诊病的场景来引起话题，提出他的观点：虽然机器极大的方便了我们的生活，给我们的生活带来了很多益处，但作者不想什么都让机器操纵，机器缺乏生活中重要的部分，那就是机器是没有灵魂，没有精神和情感的．我们不能过分的依赖机器，人与人之间的交流绝对不能完全被机器替代．

    解答 24-26  ACD
    24．A    推理判断题．根据第一段"I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room．"和第二段的"There，a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure．Some time later，in steps the doctor，who is also a robot．He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription （处方）．I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being"可知，在医生办公室登录电脑挂号，机器人护士测量血压和机器人医生开处方药看病，描述了一个全部由机器负责的诊病的场景，故选A．
    25．C     细节理解题．根据第五段中的"Sometimes when you're chatting with someone，you discover things you need to know．Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child．Maybe a salesperson can offer a bit of encouragement to a customer who is feeling tired．"可知，当你与真人聊天时，你有时会得到你需要的信息．当顾客感到沮丧时，售货员也许会鼓励顾客等这一切都说明机器是没有人类所具备的情感的，机器缺乏生活中重要的部分，那就是情感、精神和灵魂，故选C．
    26．D    推理判断题．根据第五段中的"Call it the spirit，the soul or the heart．It is something no machine will ever have．It is being human that encourages us to smile at others，which may be what they need at that moment．"最后一段中的"Call it the spirit，the soul or the heart．It is something no machine will ever have．It is being human that encourages us to smile at others，which may be what they need at that moment．"可知，作者不想回到石器时代，但也担心一个什么都让机器操纵的世界．机器人缺乏人类所具有的精神、情感．因此D项符合语境，故选D．

    点评 解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．

    9．Holidays are really important．Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways．
    But holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable．Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet．
    For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare．When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year．Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday．For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult．
    The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment．The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day．Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support．Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils．During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed．
    While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live．The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning．
    In setting out its plans for a five-term year，Nottingham City Council （委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks，with a．more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks，each followed by a two-week break．We believe this will give real"down time"for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning．
    We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities．However，this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care．
    21．The passage is probably written byD．
    A．an experienced teacher
    B．a working parent
    C．an inspired student
    D．a city council member
    22．The underlined word"they"in the second paragraph refers to"B"．
    A．environments 
    B．holidays
    C．wages
    D．benefits
    23．It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced toB．
    A.2weeks
    B.4.5weeks
    C.5weeks
    D.6weeks
    24．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help studentsC．
    A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs
    B．get a chance to spend，six weeks a term with teachers in school
    C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment
    D．have more school days to receive free school meals
    25．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
    A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
    B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out
    C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real"down time"
    D．some school staff will say"No"to the plans for a shorter summer holiday．

    13．An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning．It can last anywhere from one to six years，but four years is typical for most．An apprentice spends most of the time in a wrkplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman-someone who has done the job for many years．The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical（理论的）skills the career requires．Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking．
    One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything．The companies that hire them pay for school．What's more，it offers apprentices an"earn while you learn"opportunity．They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman，and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies．Near the end of the apprenticeship，their wages are usually 90percent of what a journeyman would receive．Apprenticeship also pays off for employers．It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from
    Despite the advantages，apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night，which leaves little time for anything else．Sometimes，they might be laid off if business for the employers is slow．
    Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen，they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again．Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with； others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors．
    54．How different is an apprentice from a journeyman？B
    A．An apprentice has more theoretical skills．
    B．An apprentice has less practical experience．
    C．An apprentice needn't pay for school．
    D．An apprentice owns a nationally recognized certification．
    55．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of apprenticeship？C
    A．It saves lots of money for apprentices to learn the skills．
    B．It brings apprentices some earnings before they get a job．
    C．It allows apprentices to earn the same wages as journeymen．
    D．It helps employers take on more qualified workers．
    56．What can we infer about the apprenticeship？D
    A．Most apprentices feel greatly comfortable with their work and life．
    B．Most journeymen tend to leave the companies they apprenticed with．
    C．Apprentices can finally get a pay increase from the journeymen．
    D．Some apprentices may come to the attention of employers during their apprenticeship．
    57．What is the tone of the writer in this passage？C
    A．Positive．
    B．Negative．
    C．Objective．
    D．Argumentative．

    10．Persevance，the quality of never giving up when facing great challenges，lies behind every great achievement in anyone's life．With perseverance a lame boy can learn to swim； with persistence a conquered country will win freedom．
    Only with strong determination can people fight their way to final victories．Many a famous man has the same experience．They have obtained their status because they have had the will to overcome numerous difficulties．Outstanding athletes go all out to train themselves．Their  w illpower  is beyond imagination．We all have read of great musicians，writers and inventors  have created or discovered breakthroughs recorded in history．Always they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance．As to students，quite a big number of them  have been successful through perseverance．However，acertain group of them just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless．
    The  same  is true   of  many rich businessmen．What we usually see are their achievements，but once we go behind the seenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady  efforts Of all countless  exarmples the story of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most
    outstanding．The 65-year-old man from Kentucky   had a dream，to start a chain of fried chicken  restaurants all over the world．To rcalize his dream，he knew that he needed a restaurant   to go into partnership with him to open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the  secret recipe （配方）he had．Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008doors before  he finally  found a proper person to co-operate with．It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors．
    We can conclude that success comes to anyone who keeps working perseveringly  while of perseverance  can only result in frustration and failure．
    28．Which of the following is true of perseverance？B
    A．Lame boys need it more．
    B It means never giving up．
    C．Most students lack it．
    D．It's more important than effort
    29．What can be inferred from the third paragraph？D
    A．Saunders succeeded all by himself．
    B．Saunders wouldn't knock on 1008doors．
    C．Saunders owed his success to his secret recipe．
    D．Saunders had failed many times before he succeeded．
    30．Which is the key to success according to the passage？C
    A．Great imagination．
    B．Numerous difficulties．
    C．Continual steady efforts．
    D．Previous hard work．
    31．How is the passage mainly developed？C
    A．By inferring and comparing．
    B．By analyzing causes and effects．
    C．By explanations and listing examples．
    D．By following the natural time order．

    18．A 17-year-old boy，caught sending text messages in class，was recently sent to the vice principal's office．The vice principal，Steve Gallagher，told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher，not his cellphone．The boy listened politely and nodded，and that's when Mr．Gallagher noticed the student's fingers  moving on his lap．He was testing while being scolded for texting．"It was a subconscious act，"says Mr．Gallagher，who took the phone away．"Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they colse their eyes at night．It's compulsive．"
    A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain，Ga．，found that the more time young people spend on Facebook，the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits．Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable，but they are also more likely to be anxious，hostile or depressed．（Doctors，meanwhile，are now laming addictions to‘night texting'for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens．）
    Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day，according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media，a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families．Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force，or will employers come to see texting and‘social-network checking'as accepted parts of the workday？
    Think back，When today's older workers were in their 20s，they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans．In those earlier eras，companies discouraged non-business-related calls，and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired．It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today．
    Educators are also being asked by parents，students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules．"In past generations，students got in trouble for passing notes in class．Now students are good at texting with their phones still in their pockets，"says 40-year-old Mr．Gallagher，the vice principal，"and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over．Students are just fundamentally different today．They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones．"
    66．The underlined word"a subconscious act"in the first paragraph refers to an actB        
    A．on purpose                                                         
    B．without realization
    C．in secret                                                               D．with care
    67．Young people addicted to the use of FacebookC．
    A．are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study
    B．have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work
    C．have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits
    D．are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect
    68．Through the situation of today's older workers in their 20s，it can be inferred thatD        
    A．the employers will not accept young people's sending text messages
    B．a cellphone is a must for today's older workers instead of young people
    C．The employers prefer older workers to young  people
    D．the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people  
    69．Mr．Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and those todayC．
    A．like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages
    B．are always the big problem for the educations and their parents
    C．like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way
    D．cannot live without a cellphone
    70．What's the best title of the passage？B
    A．Teenagers and Cellphones
    B．Teenagers'Texting Addiction
    C．Employers and Teenagers
    D．Teenagers'Education．
