Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do a simple job.When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is hot before washing the clothes. It does this byfeedback. "Information about whatis happening is ，zfeedbackz，into the robot to tell it what to do next.Our eyes , ears and other senses are our feedback . They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like people in two ways. They work and they have feedback.There are robots all around, making our lives easier. Some of them , like the pocket calculator, can work much more quickly than human beings can. And they rarely make mistakes.In some ways robots are better than people. They work quickly, but do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired .Robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brains must be shown how the job is done . A person moves the robot' "arnTand "hand"through each part of the job. The robot's brain remembers each move. When the robot is put to work on its own , its brain controls the rods , wheels and motors which move its arm.When the robot is needed for a new job, its electronic memory is “wiped clean. "Then it is taught how to do its new task.If the robot，s hand stops working, or if something gets in the way, it cannot do the next part of the job. So it stops and signals for help. Then a human engineer repairs it.The most intelligent' ' robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their metal fingers can feel shapes and even find out how hot and cold objects are .

Buzby confronted 716 students with pictures of extremely angry persons , and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression. Only two percent made correct judgments. Anger was most frequently judged asFleased.And a typical reaction of a student confronted with the picture of a man who was mad was to classify his expression as either，bewildered，z , “quizzical” , or simplyaniazed . Other studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face. The investigators found further that women are better at finding out anger from facial expressions than men are. Paradoxically , they found that psychological training does not improve one's ability to judge a man s emotions by his expressions but actually hinders it . For in the university tests , the more courses the student had taken in psychology , the poorer judgment score he turned in .29 . The information in this passage centers around.A. the relation between anger and other emotionsB. the differences between men and women with respect to emotion C. the influence of psychology on human emotionsD. the discovery of anger from facial expressions30 . When tested, students with psychological training.A. marked less than two percent of their possible choices correctlyB. did better than the average student in the groupC. seemed less able to judge correctly than the average student D. performed in a manner not specified in the passageD. .

The last two sentences in the second paragraph show that.A. such training has not resulted in better scoresB. we have really achieved the anticipated resultsC. the judgment is similar to what we have expectedD. we can expect such training to have the effect stated Questions 33 to 36 are based on the following passage： Wouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows , you might even do as well as meteorologists.Meteorologists use much more information than just the appear, ance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high - speed computers.This does give meteorologists an advantage , because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country.But you have an advantage,too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forecast .What are you seeing when you look at a cloud" A picture of what moisture is doing in the atmosphere" says meteorologist Peter Leavit . There's moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don't see it , because it's in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor .Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. That's called condensation , and we see it happen all the time( for example , when humid air from the hower hits the cold glass of a mirror) . When enough water vapor condenses, droplets form in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen.Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere.You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can singal an approaching storm. But don't take our word for it; see for yourself.33 . This passage mainly tells us about how.A. to become a meteorologistB. to keep an eye on the weatherC. to be an assistant to a meteorologistD. to change water vapor to liquid water34 . Acording to the passage , an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast.A. with the help of the high - speed computers.B. through a complex process of calculationC. with some simple practice looking up at the skyD. consulting a weather station.35 . Meteorologists make their weather forecast.A. by collecting data from all over the worldB. by putting this data into powerful , high - speed computersC. by calculating and analyzing this dataD. all above.36 . Your advantage in weather forecasts is that.A. you have more powerful computers at homeB. your brain works as well as a high speed computerC. you observe the sky and obtain your data directlyD.teorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them Questions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage： Security and commodity exchanges are trading posts where people meet who wish to buy or sell. The exchanges themselves do no trading, they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and conduct their business.Wall Street , although the best known , is not the only home of ex- changes in the United States. There are cotton exchanges in New Or- leans and Chicago , the Mercantile Exchange , which deals in many farm products , in Chicago , and grain exchanges in many of the large cities of the Midwest . Some exchanges , like the Chicago Board of Trade , provide market services for several kinds products. These trading posts where products may be bought or sold are called commodity exchanges .The security exchanges, on the other hand, are meeting places where stocks and bonds are traded. Like the commodity exchanges, they help serve the economic life of the country. But when their opera- tions get out of hand, they may become very dangerous. In 1929, the security exchanges, or stock market , contributed to a crash a sudden , sharp decline in the value of securities . Many people lost fortunes , many corporations were bankrupted , many workers lost their jobs. The Crash of 1929 has been attributed to many causes , among them wild and unwise speculation by many people and dishonest practices on the part of some businessmen and of some members of the exchanges.Today , however , investing through security exchanges and trading on commodity exchanges has been made safer by regulations set up by the exchanges themselves and by regulations of the United States government. In 1922, the government instituted the Commodity Exchange Commission which operated through the Department of Agriculture , and in 1934 , the Securities and Exchanges Commission , to protect investors and the public against dishonest practices on the exchanges .37. Security and commodity exchanges are meeting places for buyers and sellers of.A. stocksB. grainC.securitiesD. all of these38 .

Chicago Mercantile Exchange40 . Implies but not stated：.A. Some exchanges provide market services for several kinds of productsB. The role of the government has been an important factor in curbing dishonest practices on the ExchangesC. Investing in securities is unwiseD. Buying and selling securities is dishonest.Directions ： Read the following passage and then give short answers to the five questions. Write pour answers on the Answer Sheet .Hunting was originally a means of providing food, but it has now become a sport. Though in some parts of the world there are still people who hunt wild animals to provide themselves with food, in England, hunting is as much a social activity as anything else.A great many years ago, fishermen in Japan used birds to catch fish , This art of fishing is said to be at least a thousand years old and is mentioned in Japanese plays. Today , however , fishing in this way has simply become a sport , or the fishermen are not seriously interested in catching fish .On summer nights the fishing boats set out on rivers in various parts of the country. At the front of each boat there is an iron basket in which a wood fire kept burning. As the graceful curved boats float past carried along by the current , these fires, dotted here and there, make bright patterns on the water. Steering down the river, the fishermen beat the sides of the boat to encourage the birds, and people out for an evening is entertainment either sit or lie on the floor of the boats drink- ing beer and sometimes even cooking a meal for themselves over the flames of the fire. This method of fishing demands great skill, for the fisherman has to handle three or four birds in one hand. A long piece of string is tied round the neck of each bird and the fisherman must take care to keep the birds separate from each other. Every so often, the birds are set free and they fly close to the water in search of fish. The moment a bird catches a fish in its beak, it is pulled back on to the boat. The string is held tightly round the bird' s throat to prevent it from swallowing the fish it has caught. When there do not seem to be many fish in the river, the fishermen can sometimes be seen secretly throwing dead fish into the water for the birds tocatch. No one really objects to this practice , as it is all part of this unusual sport .41 . What was the original purpose of hunting?42 . In which season of the year do the fishing boats set out43 . What do the fishermen do to encourage the birds?44 . What is tied round the neck of each bird?45 . What does the fisherman do after the bird catches a fish?PART Cloze (10%)Directions ： For each numbered blank in the following passage , there are four choices marked A , B , C and D .
