Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when t he honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They wil l quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.16.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A.It's small in size. B.It's hidden in trees.C.It's covered with wax. D.It's hard to recognize.17.What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A bee. B.A bird.C.A honey seeker.

Adds Heisler, “Instead of doing some skilful,overproduced photographs,I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.” This isn't the first time that Heisler,39,has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME.His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times,ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie JoynerKersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992,respectively.But this week's TIME cover has special meaning,he says,because he and his wife had their first child,Lucy,16 months ago.The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe.Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet,he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures,Lowe was most deeply touched by the fathertobe embracing his pregnant wife.While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera,cover coordinator(协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette,who work behind the scenes,also deserve praise.Freeman,for instance,had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars that appears on page 62. She says, “My greatest reward is working with thesetalented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood,”she says.At least in this issue,those fathers are seen as well as heard.20.In this week's TIME the photographers wanted ________.A.to show Oscar Wilde's view had gone out of dateB.to show honor to the famous playwright Oscar WildeC.to support Oscar Wilde's viewD.to say sorry to Oscar Wilde21.In Oscar Wilde's view,________.A.fathers should stay actively involved in their children's livesB.there should be distance between fathers and children in family lifeC.what fathers enjoy most is family lifeD.fathers aren't sure about what they should do at home22.Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers' feelings accurately in his photos by ________.A.trying to experience fatherhood himselfB.spending most of his time with his pregnant wifeC.studying the relationship between each member in a familyD.mixing with many fathers and their children23.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A.Heisler has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME several times.B.Mary Worrell Bousquette is a cover coordinator.C.Lowe was most deeply touched by his pregnant wife.D.The author praises the work by the photographers and the editors.Ⅲ.短文填词With the development of economy, people have to face 24.________ (各种各样) pressures.

However, a recently-made robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage.The new robot, which looks like a splay-legged, four-footed starfish, can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recover from unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers (漫游者) to be able to fix things on their own,” says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Vermont, who is one of the device's creators. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to earth.”A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot's movements and signals to its built-in computer. From the information it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot's legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking—it used three legs instead of four.The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One pellicle spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea place might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as theStarfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again.”Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.11.The newly-designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it________.A.can communicate with people on the earth about their problemsB.works according to a certain computer programC.can find its problems and solve them automaticallyD.can explore unfamiliar places12.An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot ________.A.is used to create new programsB.has typical robot functionsC.has sensors to observe its movementsD.can gather information and adapt to new conditions13.The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robot is________.A.creative B.newly-madeC.able to recover D.informative14.Which of the following is true about the robot “Starfish”?A.It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability.B.It will stumble and fall if damaged.C.It can grow its legs again once they are broken.D.It has started to work on the ocean floor.15.What might be the best title of the passage?A.How does the Starfish robot workB.Do-It-Yourself robots repairC.Robots designed to work on other planetsD.New robots helping us in many waysB[2011·天津卷]In the fall of 1985,I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They oftenwanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember:little steps add up to big dreams.16. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be________.A.a writer B.a teacherC.a judge D.a doctor17. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A.She wanted to study by herself.B.She fell in love and got married.C.She suffered from a serious illness.D.She decided to look after her grandma.18.What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A.She was busy yet happy with her family life.B.She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C.She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D.She was too confused to make a correct choice.19.What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Little by little,one goes far.C.Every coin has two sides.D.Well begun,half done.20.Which of the following can best describe the author?A.Caring and determined.B.Honest and responsible.C.Ambitious and sensitive.D.Innocent and single-minded.Ⅲ.基础写作某环保组织来你所在的城市了解城市垃圾处理问题。

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.16.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A.It's small in size. B.It's hidden in trees.C.It's covered with wax. D.It's hard to recognize.17.What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A bee. B.A bird.C.A honey seeker. D.A beekeeper.18.The honey guide is special in the way ________.A.it gets its foodB.it goes to churchC.it sings in the forestD.it reaches into bees' nests19.What can be the best title for the text?A.Wild Bees B.Wax and HoneyC.Beekeeping in Africa D.HoneyLover's HelperB“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard,” wrote Oscar Wilde.“This is the only proper basis for family life.” It's hard to say what Wilde would have thought of this week's cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children.Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分开) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended.Gregory Heisler,who did the cover photograph,says he wanted the image to show genuine affections.So,rather than use professional models,he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids”. Adds Heisler, “Instead of doing some skilful,overproduced photographs,I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.” This isn't the first time that Heisler,39,has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME.His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times,ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie JoynerKersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992,respectively.But this week's TIME cover has special meaning,he says,because he and his wife had their first child,Lucy,16 months ago.The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe.Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet,he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures,Lowe was most deeply touched by the fathertobe embracing his pregnant wife.While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera,cover coordinator(协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette,who work behind the scenes,also deserve praise.Freeman,for instance,had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie st ars that appears on page 62. She says, “My greatest reward is working with these talented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood,”she says.At least in this issue,those fathers are seen as well as heard.20.In this week's TIME the photographers wanted ________.A.to show Oscar Wilde's view had gone out of dateB.to show honor to the famous playwright Oscar WildeC.to support Oscar Wilde's viewD.to say sorry to Oscar Wilde21.In Oscar Wilde's view,________.A.fathers should stay actively involved in their children's livesB.there should be distance between fathers and children in family lifeC.what fathers enjoy most is family lifeD.fathers aren't sure about what they should do at home22.Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers' feelings accurately in his photos by ________.A.trying to experience fatherhood himselfB.spending most of his time with his pregnant wifeC.studying the relationship between each member in a familyD.mixing with many fathers and their children23.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A.Heisler has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME several times.B.Mary Worrell Bousquette is a cover coordinator.C.Lowe was most deeply touched by his pregnant wife.D.The author praises the work by the photographers and the editors.Ⅲ.短文填词With the development of economy, people have to face 24.________ (各种各样) pressures.

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校【快乐考生】高考英语一轮总复习 Unit 2 Robots课时作业新人教版选修7Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2013·重庆卷)The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching,and I'd been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place.Can't you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth.I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday,but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book,but no one could see me immediately.Finally,at about lunchtime,I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?Why wasn't he as busy as the others?In the dentist's office,I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my icecold one.When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don't worry.The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.“Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was! At that moment,I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief![文章大意]那天早上对作者来说真是一个灾难,牙痛,又和朋友发生争执。
