28、y to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone

29、 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

30、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

31、 in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The companys “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide the

32、m to the products location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations 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

33、 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.41. 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 housewo

34、rk.D. They respond to users more slowly.42. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate 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.43. What can Oshbot w

35、ork as?A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse.44. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will _. A. train employees B. be our workmates C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers45. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new desig

36、n idea of household robots.B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.C One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon

37、for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and

38、only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the pictu

39、re of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Thoug

40、h pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on an

41、d on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was g

42、oing to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and

43、 authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.46. The authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to _.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons47.

44、The book caught the authors eye because _.A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked childrens stories very much48. Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. H

45、e identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has become a successful writer.B. The authors mother read the same book.C. The authors mother rewarded him w

46、ith books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.50. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. The Charm of a Book B. Mums Strict OrderC. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for ReadingD Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me

47、 for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had: Be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let

48、fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterio

49、us about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim

50、, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at th

51、at guy like a bullet and stopped him cold.” Boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in

52、itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilitiesand youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.51. Why was the aut

53、hor sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.52. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities

54、.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.53. What was especially important for Tims successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.54. What can be learned from Paragraph 5? A. Confidence grows

55、more rapidly in adults.B. Trying without success is meaningless.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Boldness can be gained little by little.55. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To te

56、ll people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.第II卷注意事项：1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。2.本卷共6小题，共35分。第三部分： 写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks

57、 there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was tim

58、e for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isnt having it made; its getting it made.” “The finest

59、 and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I r

60、arely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still cant figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. Its the journey, not the arrival, that counts.” The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up an
