B．Criticize musicals.C．Analyze musicals. D．Advertise musicals.BKanda really doesn't like to walk alone. The scientist from a research institute of intelligent robots finds the experience so boring that he'd rather drive－even though he lives close to his lab and knows that walking is healthy. “I e njoy walking with someone, like with my wife, with my daughter,” Kanda said. “But they are not always available.”So Kanda, who specializes in human-like bots, developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The bot rests on a person's shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high, and is 3.5 inches wide and 10 inches long. A microphone, a speaker, and an internal camera allow it to communicate. It's even equipped with a smile.Kanda and his team collected video from five different locations, including a garden and a shopping mall, and created a dataset of small talk topics related to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice. Near a group of parked cars, for example, it might say，“In a big parking lot, sometimes I forget where I parked.”They tested the robot on 15 volunteers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about 26 years old. “Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion(蒲公英)seeds into the air？” The robot asked a participant, who smiled and responded, “Yes, I often did that w hen I was a child.” Although several participants noted the robot's weight, Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience strange or funny. “I guess people enjoy new technologies,” he said.Just like a human partner, Kanda's bot isn't perfect. It's not able to go for walks in heavy rain and, while the robot can make expressions, it can't really hold a conversation, about which Kanda is most worried. Despite its limits, Kanda was comforted by the bot's presence. “I felt a kind of sense of being with someone,” he said, “particularly when it spoke.”24．Why does Kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner?A．Because he wants someone to accompany him while walking.B．Because he has never developed a robot like a parrot.C．Because his family are unwilling to walk with him.D．Because he is crazy about developing robots.25．What characteristic does the robot have?A．It can “speak” and “see”．B．It can walk like a human being.C．It can communicate with people freely.D．It is much more humorous than a real person.26．What is necessary for the robot to function?A．A small size.B．A boxy shape.C．A human partner.D．A speech software.27．What is Kanda most likely to do about his robot next?A．To make it more convenient to carry.B．To improve its conversational skills.C．To enable it to walk in heavy rain.D．To better its sound system.CDo you have a younger brother? Does he always get in trouble? Well, there might be some science behind that.According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second-born boys are more likely than first-borns to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brothers or sisters sprites.Researchers, who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida, found second-born boys are 20 to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems. If you’re the second-born child you may want to have a little chat with your parents. The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-borns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.“Second-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first-born children experience their mother’s maternity leaves(产假). Firstborns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with mum following their birth, but the time mum takes off with younger siblings, too,” the authors explain.It’s not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP, co-author Joseph Doyle said, “The first-born has role models, who are adults. And the second, later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds, you know, their older siblings. The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against regulations, even against laws. It’s just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time.The results, the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy.28. What does the underlined word “sprites” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Losers.B. Troublemakers.C. Close companions.D. Parents’ pets.29. According to the report, what influences the second-born children’s behavior?A. Challenges of their elder siblings.B. Fewer chances of talking with others.C. More family problems they are faced with.D. The amount of attention they receive from parents.30. Joseph Doyle holds the opinion that the older siblings .A. have the same role models as their younger onesB. are not to blame for their younger siblings’ failureC. are partly responsible for their younger siblings’ problemsD. affect the parental investment and the labor market participation31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why the second-born tend to be misbehavedB. How parents improve family relationshipsC. Social policy guides family educationD. Parents prefer first-born kidsDNational Treasure has Chinese audiences fired up. But don't confuse it with the Hollywood action film of the same name, in which the hidden history of the United States going back around 250 years is discovered. In the Chinese show producers are lucky –China has a much longer history, and their plan to introduce relics is welcomed by the Palace Museum in the Forbidden City, and eight key province-level museums.Yu Lei, director of the show, explained how items are chosen, "Our standard is not to choose the most precious items. We want the ones with most attractive stories. These cultural relics are like aged people. They have so much to tell us. If people are bored, there is something wrong with our methods," she said.In each 100-minute period, three key exhibits from a museum are introduced by entertainment stars, called the "guardians of the national treasure", through short stage dramas, telling the history of the legends behind the items. Some lesser-known stories on how the items were unearthed are featured in the show. In the periods, people are also invited on stage to share their stories linked to such relics. Knowledge, entertainment, taste and an accessible approach have been put together in one show. When people see cultural relics in this lively way, they feel history.The aim of the show is not to create a hit program but to attract more people to museums. More seasons of National Treasure are planned, and some treasures from the show are to be featured in a touring exhibition soon after the first season ends. A show like this fuels people's pride in their country.32. We can learn that National Treasure is a(n) .A. historical program aimed at creating a hot topicB. Hollywood action film telling the whole American historyC. Chinese show introducing relics through short dramasD. exhibition welcomed by nine province-level museums33. What Yu Lei said shows that they .A. like cultural relics whose stories can be told by aged peopleB. choose some valuable items with most attractive stories behindC. think something is wrong with their methods of choosing relicsD. don’t like the most precious items because they’re not attractive34. Who may be invited to introduce the exhibits?A. Film experts.B. Ordinary people.C. Museum guides.D. Entertainment stars.35. In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text?A. ScienceB. HealthC. EconomyD. Culture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。

Choked with emotion,I whispered,“I am OK,Mom.I will never go into the woods without your company and permission.”Shooting me an approving look,she added,“Next time you want to come,keep me informed!”In the setting sun,we headed back and this time,I held my mom’s hand tightly.听力录音材料(Text1)M:Sorry,ma’am,but the computer is not accepting your card.W:How can that be?I paid last month’s bill.Can you try again?M:OK,here goes.Oh,it’s fine.W:That’s a relief.Your computer must be faulty.(Text2)M:I’ve been invited to have dinner with Paulo and Maria this evening but I don’t know what to wear.I’d also like to take a small present.Do you have any ideas?W:Just be informal,and I’m sure they’d appreciate some flowers and maybe something from Scotland.(Text3)W:How about spending the weekend with us?M:Let me see if my wife has anything planned and I’ll get back to you.W:Well,make it quick.What we wanna do involves making reservations.(Text4)M:What do you think of the new building downtown?W:It is visually unappealing!I can’t stand it!M:That pretty well sums up my view about it too.(Text5)W:The president likes the new location for the store.M:I wish he knew how hard we worked to find it.第一节到此结束。

BCooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviors，according to a recent review. And，although the review didn't look at long-term effects of such programs，the findings suggest that such programs might help children develop long-lasting healthy habits.This research comes at a time when childhood obesity(肥胖) rates have been rising rapidly. More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012 ，according to the U．S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)．This trend has been caused，at least in part，by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s，according to background information in the study.Cooking education programs，such as Food Explorers，teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group，and the kids make something based on the lesson，such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the program，kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents，the review explained.The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old，according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods，which helps them build healthy habits.The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in(参与) their children's eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home，which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.24．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Eating out frequently causes obesity.B．Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habit.C．Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012.D．Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.25．On cooking education programs，________．A．children learn how to prepare foods from their parentsB．children will learn how to cook in the company of their parentsC．children may learn information unknown to their parentsD．children focus more on cooking skills than on information about healthy foods 26．Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?A．Education Systems. B．Science and Technology.C．Parent-child Relationship. D．Public Health Research.27．The purpose of the passage is ________．A．to inform the reader B．to entertain the readerC．to discuss with the reader D．to warn the reader CWhen Rebecca Saxon was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 27，she thought her life was over. But in her darkest hour，inspiration struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage.Following her cancer treatment，Rebecca launched a successful business “Some thing Blue Bridal Shoes”—a unique range of wedding footwear，which came out of the fashion pictures she drew while recovering in her hospital bed.Rebecca，from London，says，“I started designing wedding shoes with blue soles (鞋底) when I was halfway through my cancer treatment. I had a hit when I was diagnosed with cancer but I decided that I was going to pick myself up and fight this cancer. The pictures were my release and the way I got through the many hours spent in a hospital room. I had no idea what was going to happen to me，but I knew I had to be positive if I was going to overcome this treatment. I told myself this was not going to be the end for me. I decided to fight with my negative feelings and start drawing.”Rebecca had always loved fashion since she was younger. Several of her friends were getting married at the time when she was ill. “So at first，I would be drawing designs for wedding dresses and other clothes. But then I started drawing wedding footwear—designing shoes with blue soles which were very comfortable too. I thought it would be a lovely way of combining the ‘something old，something new，something borrowed，something blue’ tradition. Drawing really helped me deal with my treatment，” said the brave girl.With the encouragement of her boyfriend，she turned her dreams into her reality and set up “Something Blue Bridal Shoes” ．Each beautiful shoe has a blue sole ，combining the age-old tradition of what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck.28．What did Rebecca Saxon do when she was recovering in the hospital?A．Draw fashion pictures.B．Prepare for her marriage.C．Donate money to charities.D．Found a company.29．Which of the following is true about Rebecca Saxon?A．She has designed several wedding dresses for her friends.B．Drawing designs helped her fight with her negative feelings.C．Her boyfriend invested all of his savings in her business.D．She started making shoes before she was diagnosed with cancer.30．Each of Rebecca Saxon's shoes has a blue sole to ________．A．make the shoes more colorfulB．express good wishes to the brideC．let the bride feel comfortableD．show her preference for blue31．The story of Rebecca Saxon inspires people to ________．A．face difficulties bravely B．treasure what they haveC．hold fast to their dreams D．help those in need selflesslyDThe problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved o nto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are a number of powerful voice ma nipulation ( 处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches (数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers caneasily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. V oice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications — using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity. Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from hereon out.32.How does the author feel about the solutions to the problem of robocalls?A.Panicked.B. Confused.C. Embarrassed.D.Disappointed.33.Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can ______.A.aim at victims preciselyB. damage databases easilyC. startcampaigns rapidly D. spread information widely 34. What does thepassage imply?A.Honesty is the best policy.B.Technologies can be double-edged.C.There are more solutions than problems.D.Credibility holds the key to development.35.

It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of ment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never pletely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far morethan any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of t hat day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.74 A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________.A. popularityB. uniform styleC. wide coverageD.speed in reporting news75. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that __________.A. people have different views about what a good newspaper isB. people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsC.people scan for the news they are interested inD. different people prefer different newspapers76. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _________.A. apply reading techniques skillfullyB. jump from one newspaper to anotherC. appreciate the variety of a newspaperD. read a newspaper selectively usually77. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because__________.A. it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityB. readers like to read different newspapersC.it tries to serve different readersD. readers are difficult to please78. The best title for this passage would be “__________”.A. The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperB. The Variety of a Good NewspaperC. The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityD. Some Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperCI lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car ina freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have e to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world bees. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That wasbasic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and bee a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball.I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach becausethat only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.79. We can learn from the beginning of the passage that __________________.A. the author lost his sight because of a car crash.B. the disaster strengthened the author's desire to seeC. the disaster made the author appreciate what he had.D. .the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen.80. What's the most difficult thing for the author?A. Building up assurance that he can find his place in life.B. To find a special work that suits the author.C. Learning to manage his life alone.D. How to adjust himself to reality.81. According to the context, "a chair rocker on the front porch" in paragraph 3 means that the authorA. was paralyzed and stayed in a rocking chair.B. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life.C. would sit in a chair and stay at home.D. would lose his will to struggle against difficulties.82. According to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the manA. inspired the author.B. hurt the author's feeling.C. gave the author a deep impressionD.directly led to the invention of ground ball.83. According to the passage, which of the following is CORRECT?A. The author set goals for himself but only invited failure most of the time.B. The author suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning.C. Because of his limitations, the author tried to reach one goal at a time.D. The bitterness of failure prevented the author from trying something out of reach.D“OK,”I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “What’s going on with you and your friend J.?” J. is the leader of agroup of third-graders at her camp-- a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she’s the one on the outs. and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.“She’s fond of giving orders, ”Lucy plained. “She’s turning everyone against me. She’s mean. And she’s fat.” “Excuse me,” I said, struggling for calm. “What did you just said?” “She’s fat.” Lucy mumbled(含糊地说).“We’re going upstairs,” I said, my voice cold. “We’re going to discuss this.” And up we went. I’d spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we’d have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word-Fat.My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn’t your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.“It’s not always that easy,” I said . “Everyone’s different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman’s weight, she’s joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I didn’t cry when someone posted my picture and mented , “I’m sorry, but aren’t authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”Does she need to know, now, th at life isn’t fair ? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don’t have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It’s possible she’ll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.So I tell her the only thing I can e up with that is absolutely true.I say to my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I’m disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn’t one of them. ”Lucy n ods, tears on her cheeks. “I won’t say that again,” she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit theretogether, I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I’ve struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, butI can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.84.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy ______.A. has turned against her friend J.B.gets along well with her friend J.C. has begun to pete with her friend J.D. often makes fun of her friend J.85.Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?A.

After hard practice, by the time school started that year I’d gotten the hang of it. I was happy in my new work. I became a bination of chauffeur, nurse and friend. And if the kids needed it, I’d put on my “Tough Big Sister” act. It was a lot like my previous job---being a mom.When I think about my years of bus driving, many things crowded in, but mostly, I remember Charlie.Charlie, eight years old, with blond hair and crystalline gray eyes, began riding my bus in September of my fourth year driving. They all had stories to tell me about their summers. Charlie, though, ignored me. He didn’t even answer when I asked his name.From that day on, Charlie was a trial. If a fight broke out I didn’t have to turn my head to know who had started it. If someone was throwing spitballs I could guess the culprit’s name. If a girl was crying, chances were Charlie had pulled her hair. No matter how I spoke to him, gently or firmly, he wouldn’t say a word. He’d just stare at me with those big gray eyes of his.I asked around some, and found out Charlie’s father was dead and hedidn’t live with his mother. He deserves my patience, I tho ught. So I practiced every bit of patience I could muster. To my cheer y “Good Morning”, he was silent. When I wished him a happy Halloween, he sneered. Many, many times I asked God how I could reach Charlie. “I’m at my wit’s end.” I’d say. Still I was sure that this child needed to feel some warmth from me. So, when he’d pass by, I’d ruffle his hair or pat him on the arm.Toward the end of that year, the kids on my bus gave me a small trophy inscribed “To the Best Bus Driver Ever”. I propped it up on th e dashboard. On top I hung a small tin heart that a little girl had given me. In red paint she had written, “I love Polly and Polly loves me.”On the next-to-last day of school I was delayed a few minutes talking to the principal. When I got on the bus I realized that the tin heart was gone. “Does anyone know what happened to the little heart that was up here?” I asked. For once with 39 children, there was silence.One boy piped up, “Charlie was the first one on the bus. I bet（打赌）he took it.” Other children joined the chorus, “Yeah! Charlie did it! Search him!” I asked Charlie, “Have you seen the heart?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he protested（抗议）. Standing up, he took a few pennies and a small ball out of his pockets. “See, I don’t have it.”“I bet he does!” insisted the girl who had given me the heart. “Check his pockets.”Charlie glowered when I asked him to e forward. His gaze burned into mine. I stuck my hand into one pocket. Nothing. I reached into the other pocket. Then I felt it ---the familiar outline of the small tin heart. Charlie stared at me for a long time. There were no tears in those big gray eyes, no plea(乞求) for mercy. He seemed to be waiting for what he’d e to expect from the world. I was about to pull t he tin heart out of Charlie’s pocket when I stopped myself. Let him keep it, a voice seemed to whisper.“It must have fallen off before I got here,” I said to the kids. “I’ll probably find it back at the depot.” Without a word, Charlie returned to his s eat. When he got off at his stop, he didn’t so much as glance at me. That summer Charlie moved away.Eventually I retired. And there my story as a school bus driver ends, except for one more incident. A dozen years after retirement I was in a。
