Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal , chief scientist at the robot pany Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like panions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesnt just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one pany bringing social robots to the market. The panys “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make remendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.21.How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions. B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly.22.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. municate with you and perform operations. B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk. D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.23.What can Oshbot work as?A.A language teacher.B.A tour guide. C.A shop assistant.D.A private nurse.24.What does the passage mainly present?A.A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots. B Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when theyre in poorly lit placesand so more likely to eat lots of food .If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when its time to repaint, go blue. Dont forget the clockor the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while youre at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal. Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_.A. their home forts B. their body shape C. house buying D. healthy diets26.A home environment in blue can help people _.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intake C. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?_ _A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music. C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.28.What can be a suitable title for the text?_A.Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-Consciousness D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? C In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like puters and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole. Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in parison to total waste, the concentration(含量)of gold and other precious metals was higher inso-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals. Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment. Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装)it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that“ the production, distribution, and use of productsas well as management of the resulting wasteall result in greenhouse gas release.”Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the startfor instance, buying reusable products and recycling. In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机)for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place? Governments incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫)that encased your television? From the governments point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.29. By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that_.A. the weight of e-goods is rather small B. e-waste deserves to be made good use ofC. natural minerals contain more precious metalsD. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste30 . The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended _.A. from producers to governments B. from governments to producersC. from individuals to distributors D. from distributors to governments31. What does the passage mainly talk about?_A. The increase in e-waste. B. The creation of e-waste.C. The seriousness of e-waste D. The management of e-waste. DEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in ones personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a persons ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things. However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency es with a price. When munication bees more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With the munication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the persons presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also es mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also es the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts(手工艺品)are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item. Nevertheless, we must not mit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old. It is peoples attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on peoples attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new“ past” is created. 32.According to Paragraph 1,progress can benefit people when they are willing to_.A. live a better life B. look for better methodsC. change ways of living D. accept technology and advance steadily 33.The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to_. A. tools B. messages C. barriers D. skills 34.The author explains “efficiency es with a price” by_. A. describing a process B. using examples C. following time order D. making classification 35.pared with home-made handicrafts, machine-made products_. A. lack great accuracy B. lack the personal touch C. are of high value D. are quite wele第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.

As executives(高级管理人员)with banks, consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now41on their way to impressive careers. By societys42, they seem to have it made.

As they left student life behind, many had a43drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with longtime roommates, and44out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine 45 a college years monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old cars with expensive new sports cars.

It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually well learn how to express_64_ (us) in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many difficulties. In _65_first place, it often happens that we have trouble _66_(find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English _67_(proper). As far as Im concerned, my_68_(suggest) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook _69_then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if neces
