    阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine(男女主角) in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset ?”

“No, sir,” the men answered.

The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”

“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”

The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

第—节  阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

    阅读—列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

       File-sharing occurs whenever one individual sends a file to another. The only way to even try to limit this process is to monitor all communication between ordinary people. Despite the crackdown on Napster, Kazaa and other peer-to-peer(对等网络) services over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has grown exponentially. Even if the authorities closed down all other possibilities, people could still send copyrighted files as attachments to e-mails or through private networks. If people start doing that, should we give the government the right to monitor all mail and all encrypted(加密) networks? Whenever there are ways of communicating in private, they will be used to share copyrighted material. If you want to stop people doing this, you must remove the right to communicate in private. There is no other option. Society has to make a choice.

The world is at a crossroads. The internet and new information technologies are so powerful that no matter what we do, society will change. But the direction has not been decided.

The internet it still in its infancy, but already we see fantastic things appearing as if by magic. Take Linux, the free computer operating system, or Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But where technology opens up new possibilities, our intellectual property laws do their best to restrict them. Linux is held back by patents, the rest of the examples by copyright. The public increasingly recognizes the need for reform.

Our manifesto(声明) is to reform copyright laws and gradually abolish(废除) the patent system. We oppose mass surveillance (监视)and censorship(审查制度) on the net, as in the rest of society. We intend to devote all our time and energy to protecting the basal civil liberties on the net and elsewhere.

Political decisions taken over the next five years are likely to set the course we take into the information society, and will affect the lives of millions for many years into the future. The information revolution is happening here and now. It is up to us to decide what future we want.

41. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

       A. Over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has increased doubly.

       B. Over the past decade, other peer-to-peer(对等网络) services have been beaten down.

       C. Copyright laws should be reformed.

       D. File-sharing occurs unless a file is sent on the Internet.

42. In the opinion of the writer, the government ________.

       A. has to make a choice

       B. should stop people sharing the copyrighted files

       C. shouldn't stop people sharing the copyrighted files

       D. should monitor all the mail and all encrypted (加密) networks

43. The author's main purpose in writing the passage is____________.

       A. to have the basal citizen's freedom on the net and elsewhere

       B. to establish the patent system

       C. to abolish copyright laws

       D. to reform computer operating system

44. The underlined word “restrict” in Paragraph 3 most probably means__________.

       A. remove            B. limit                C. close                D. reform

45. We can infer from the passage_______________.

       A. A new information revolution will be coming.

       B. People won't share copyrighted material on the net

       C. People can share the free encyclopedia

       D. The future of the Internet will rely on the government

第—节 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

   阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Two-legged, humanoid (类人的) robots such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.

But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.

“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”

While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs.

Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu L       aboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡逻) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共场所), are working on this.

Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its belly to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.

In guide mode, it will detect a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”

Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (图标) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.

The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.

Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.

“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.

41. The advantage of Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO is that _________.

A. it can do any housework for us        B. it can talk with patients or old people

C. it can climb up stairs as humans       D. it can walk smoothly with its wheels

42. According to Shimoyama, robots _________.

A. can be made to do everything humans do 

B. will be made as smart as humans in the future

C. will remain as stupid as before

D. can never compete with humans in intelligence

43. Most important of all, a robot should be made _________ at present.

A. safe and elegant                           B. safe and functional

C. elegant and cheap                           D. sensitive and cheap

44. Which of the following statements about “Enon” is NOT true?

A. It can be used as a guide in hospitals. 

B. It can help shoppers carry goods selected.

C. It can be used to welcome guests in restaurants.

D. It can be used to stop thieves in malls.

45. Enon is mainly designed to help _________.

A. old people           B. mall owners        C. tourists or newcomers   D. shoppers
