This wake-up receiver has many potential applications, particularly in designing the next generation of net worked devices, including so called “smart” devices that can communicate directly with one another without human intervention (介入).Once attached to a device, a wake-up receiver listens for a unique ultrasonic (超声波) pattern that tells it when to turn the device on. It needs only a very small amount of power to maintain this constant listening, so it still saves energy overall while extending the battery life of the larger device. A well-designed wake-up receiver also allows the device to be turned on from a significant distance.Given the increased interest in networked devices, researchers and industry organizations are starting to define what features and techniques will become standard. Regardless of whether this ultrasound wake-up receiver is among these standard designs, it is likely wake-up receivers of some kind will be combined into commercial applications soon.By comparison, the ultrasound wake-up receiver requires a battery but has much greater range than the wirelessly powered devices, while still maintaining a long lifetime due to extremely low power draw. These two technologies-wireless power and wake-up receivers-would likely serve different purposes but both indicate at a turning point in devices that make up the Internet of Things.“In light of a long-promised future where interconnected, autonomous, widespread and unremarkable technologies make life easier, the networked devices available now, like video doorbells and app-enabled lights, seem like rather slight advances.” the researchers said. They believe technologies like theirs could help cross the gap between the Internet of Things as we know it and the Internet of Things at its best-whatever that may be.1. Which of the following is an advantage of the wake-up receiver?A. It requires no signal.B. It is very power saving.C. It can make the battery larger.D. It must be fixed to another device.2. What do we know about by comparing the wireless power with wake-up receivers?A. One can replace the other.B. The wake-up receiver is better.C. Both have their own advantages.D. The wirelessly powered device has more uses.3. What do the researchers feel about their technologies mentioned in the last paragraph?A. They make the Internet cheaper.B. They make the Internet more popular.C. They are not useful devices for the Internet.D. They are beneficial to the use of the Internet.BWe use robots for tasks like building cars and sorting mail, but can we use them as stand-up comedians (单口相声演员) in the future? One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes.Researchers from Queen Mary University of London organized RoboThespian’s performances to test whether it could be as funny as a human.The electronic comedian went on stage for a show with British comedians Andrew O’Neill and Tiernan Douieb, performing the same jokes as Douieb but with a few changes—it is a robot after all. The robot has some advantages over human comedians, too.“We used computer vision and audio software to notice the response of each audience member, something a human comedian cannot do,” said Kleomenis Katevas, the robot’s programmer.“The machine used this information to decide who to look at and which gestures t o use.”The robot also has other advantages over human comedians. Impressions of other people and sounds are very popular ways for performers to get laughs, and according to New Scientist reporter Celeste Biever, the robot can perform recorded sound by simply playing it back. It can also act out programmed pieces from Shakespeare or just about anything else.“Another of the robot’s advantages is more surprising. Because I feel less empathy (同感) for RoboThespian than for the human comedians, I feel more relaxed during his performances,” Biever added. And of course, RoboThespian is unlikely to feel as nervous as other comedians, or be affected too badly by an audience member shouting at it.The Queen Mary researchers say they’re most interested in how audiences can be part of live performances. So in the future, we may be watching robots performing exactly the show we want to see. Do you think it’s time for the robot to write some more jokes?4. Why was RoboThespian originally developed?A. To help human comedians perform better on stage.B. To find out if robots could understand human jokes.C. To see if robots could perform like human comedians.D. To assist human comedians to make up some better jokes.5. When RoboThespian gave performances on stage, it .A. imitated the audience’s voices to make them laughB. was affected easily by an audience member shouting at itC. performed completely different jokes from human comediansD. recorded each audience member’s reaction and acted accordingly6. What does Celeste Biever think of robot comedians?A. He believes the future of comedy lies in them.B. He considers their jokes as rather poor and boring.C. He thinks they aren’t suitable for live performances.D. He feels more comfortable watching their performances.7. What is the article mainly talking about?A. The robot comedian RoboThespian and its advantages.B. Robot technology used to help us with our future daily tasks.C. Predictions of the comedy of the future and concerns about it.D. A comparison between human comedians and robot comedians.五、书面表达（满分25分）当今，很多青少年拥有手机。

Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.“Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time. If I had only known that, I would have said to him, ‘Jim, I love you and I’m always so proud of you.’ I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.“When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really don’t amount to much.“I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, ‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye.’ That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!1. Who was Jim?A. A school boy.B. The writer.C. The president of a school board.D. An official of a school.2. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “the educationally handicapped”?A. The learning difficulty.B. The physical problems.C. The psychological problems.D. The communication difficulty.3. According to the writer, which of the following about Jim is TRUE？A. He was always sad about his school marks.B. His parents always scolded him about his bad school marks.C. His study needed more attention from his parents and teachers.D. He was killed in a car accident.4. What did Polly think of Jim?A. He was a lovely boy with a beautiful smile who always loved others.B. He was physically sick but always happy.C. He was an irritating boy with some bad habits.D. He seldom expressed his love for his parents.5. T he purpose of Polly’s l etter is to .A. memorize her sonB. teach parents to appreciate their childrenC. teach children how to be good boysD. give some advice on how to deal with children’s problem sBWhile IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.Supported by his research, he suggested tha t when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.6. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a personwill be successful or not?A. How a person tests his / her brainpower.B. A person’s character.C. How smart a person is.D. A person’s IQ.7. The second paragraph tells us that .A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQB. EQ is the opposite of IQC. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard lifeD. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ8. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to somedisabled children?A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.B. There was no change in the normal students.C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.9. Which of the following is the writer’s attitude toward EQ and IQ?A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.C. EQ can get people hired.D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.10. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A. A person’s brainpower.B. IQ, EQ and success.C.

These two technologies-wireless power and wake-up receivers-would likely serve different purposes but both indicate at a turning point in devices that make up the Internet of Things.

Our 36 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 37 everything to their kindness and love.When we 38 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them.41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more aboutthe world than you do.It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their46 .With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices.If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage.When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.36.

Polly‟s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.“Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time. If I had onlyknown that, I would have said to him, …Jim, I love you and I‟m always so proud of you.‟ I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.“When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such a s the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn‟t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really don‟t amount to much.“I won‟t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, …Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye.‟ That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”If there is any purpose at all for Jim‟s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!56. Who was Jim?A. A school boy.B. The writer.C. The president of a school board.D. An official of a school.57. What‟s the me aning of the underlined phrase “the educationally handicapped”?A. The learning difficulty.B. The physical problems.C. The psychological problems.D. The communication difficulty.58. According to the writer, which of the following about Jim is TRUE？A. He was always sad about his school marks.B. His parents always scolded him about his bad school marks.C. His study needed more attention from his parents and teachers.D. He was killed in a car accident.59. What did Polly think of Jim?A. He was a lovely boy with a beautiful smile who always loved others.B. He was physically sick but always happy.C. He was an irritating boy with some bad habits.D. He seldom expressed his love for his parents.60. T he purpose of Polly‟s letter is to .A. memorize her sonB. teach parents to appreciate their childrenC. teach children how to be good boysD. gives some advice on how to deal with children‟s problem sBWhile IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future suc cesses, a person‟s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person‟s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hardtime surviving in life.For a long time, researchers discussed if a person‟s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person‟s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students‟ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.61. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?A. How a person tests his / her brainpower.B. A person‟s character.C. How smart a person is.D. A person‟s IQ.62. The second paragraph tells us that .A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQB. EQ is the opposite of IQC. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard lifeD. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ63. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.B. There was no change in the normal students.C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.64. Which of the following is the writer‟s attitude toward EQ and IQ?A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.C. EQ can get people hired.D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.65. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A. A person‟s brainpower.B. IQ, EQ and success.C. IQ and a person‟s character.D. A person‟s IQ and EQ.CHave you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven‟t, you should have. It‟s here, it‟s growing and it‟s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you‟ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a gr oup of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “publish ed”, so other people can read them. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has rev olutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as“text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it‟s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He‟s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.66. A blog is .A. a commentB. an Internet journalC. a designD. a link67. A person can do the following things in a blog EXCEPT _______.A. talk to othersB. give commentsC. read articlesD. enjoy photos68. Who is a blogger?A. A person who posts letters.B. A person who writes articles.C. A person who posts text or photos in a blog.D. A person who is an online publisher.69. From the passage we know that .A. Bill Gates will invent some tools for blogsB. blogs will be an important business communication tool in the futureC. so far, only a few persons have created blogsD. blogs will replace e-mail, BBS and MSN in the future70. According to the passage, the reason why blogs are so popular is that they ____.A. give everyone the chance to be an online writerB. can be created by people without much knowledge of computer technologyC. enable a blogger to place news, personal thoughts, text and photos and give commentsD. all of the aboveDAll Eskimos live most of their lives close to sea or fresh water. They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface. Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks, and where there is enough soil, grass, flowers, and even small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains. There are some animals in Eskimo land, such as rabbits, which eat the plants. Other animals, like the white fox and the gray wolf, eat the rabbits. The Eskimo is a meat-eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the best time, as food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away, and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store, for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all. Around Oct. 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them, and they don‟t see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo‟s eyes.71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Eskimos do not usually eat wolves.B. Eskimos like to chase one another.C. Eskimos depend heavily on water.D. Eskimos are meat-eaters.72. In the Eskimo year, _________.A. there is no spring and fallB. winter is cold and summer is hotC. summer is a time for growing foodD. winter comes early and goes late73. What‟s the meaning of the underlined words “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4?A. Dark with a little light.B. A little dark.C. Not dark at all.D. Extremely dark.74. From the passage, we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that_______.A. Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summerB. Eskimo women are responsible for houseworkC. meat is the main source of food for the EskimoD. hunting is an important part of Eskimo life75. Why is summer lighter in the Far North?A. Because the Far North is far away from the sun.B. Because the sun is not seen for five months of the year.C. Because the sun never sets in midsummer.D. Because people see the sun set directly south of them.第四部分写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。

Unit 2 RobotⅠ.阅读理解AAs civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic essentials of life —food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds.By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operation, when is switched by the housewife.1．As civilization develops in the direction of technology, ________.A．the basic essentials of life must be suppliedB．it is important to supply the basic essentials of lifeC．it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of lifeD．it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life2．According to the author, we are faced with ________.A．the choice of providing and fulfilling our needsB．the choice of using technologyC．the choice of earning a standard of livingD．a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reduce the number of working hours3．What alternative will mankind have chosen in future?A．To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours.B．To raise our standard of living.C．To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary.D．To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours.4．It can be inferred that robots will be invented ________.A．to take the place of housewivesB．to help manage a familyC．to do the routine of housework instead of humanD．to provide the daily necessities for manBI log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.There, a robotic nurse directs me onto the scales and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the doctor, who is also a robot. He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription. I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having encountered another human being.This scenario (场景) is my nightmarish (噩梦般的) vision of the future, which hasn't come to pass — at least not yet.I should say I really do like many aspects of technology. I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter. But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over.When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line, I am thrilled. And when I see the introduction of yet more selfservice checkout stations at the grocery store, I feel like shouting: “When it comes to cashiers (收银员), make mine human, please！”After all, human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are buying but you didn't realize were on sale. Even more than that, real lifecashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can brighten a young mother's day. A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.What technological device would do any of this? I don't want to go back to the Store Age, but I'm also worried about a world run by machines. Sometimes when you're chatting with someone, you discover things you need to know. Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child. Maybe a sales person can offer a bit of encouragement for a customer who is feeling tired.Machines can be efficient and costeffective and they often get the job done just fine. But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life.It is being human that prompts (促使) us to smile at others, which may be what they need at that moment. Call it the spirit, the soul or the heart. It is something no machine will ever have.5．What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraphs?A．To indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient.B．To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors.C．To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life.D．To predict how technology can affect the way we see a doctor in the future.6．What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humans rather than by robots?A．Robots don't offer to give store coupons.B．Robots are indifferent and emotionless.C．Services from robots cost less time and more money.D．Robots can't do a job as well as humans do.7．What does the underlined word “element” mean in the eighth paragraph?A．Humor. B．The ability to speak.C．Methods. D．Effective communication.8．What's the main idea of the text?A．The opinion about using man or machine.B．Machines give people a lot of convenience.C．Being human service is better than service from machines.D．Being human service cost little money.CWhen he was just 19, Michael Dell started the company thatwould dominate the industry.At the time, IBM personal computers sold in stores for about $3,000. After taking them apart and rebuilding them, Dell realized the components (零部件) could be bought for onefourth the price. Soon he was buying components to reduce the cost. A good business decision, but it meant his room was starting to look like a mechanic's shop.“I was quite excited about the possibilities for personal computers and h ow they could change society. I had this idea to sell the products directly to the user over the phone.” he said. College plans and his parents' expectations bothered him a lot. But Michael Dell was determined. He drove off to the University of Texas at Austin in August 1983 in a car he'd bought with earnings from selling newspapers. He was surprised that his mother wasn't suspicious about the three computers in the backseat. By November, news reached his parents that he wasn't attending classes. On a surprise visit to Austin, they caught their son on spot. Michael Dell told dad that he wanted to compete with IBM.Although Michael agreed to focus on his studies, the business chances and the timing couldn't have been better. The public was becoming more interested in computers, but no one was producing them. In early May, a week before his final exams, Michael started Dell Computer Corporation with $1,000. He took his exam, and then dropped out of college at the end of his freshman year. It was time to try out his directtocustomer business model.“Three years later，”Dell says “we had already achieved annual sales of about $150 million. I was 22 years old then.”9．What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean?A．Affect. B．Develop. C．Support. D．Lead.10．Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 2?A．Dell discovered a good chance to make money.B．Dell could buy a computer at onefourth the price.C．IBM made little money from personal computers.D．Dell rebuilt computers in a mechanic's shop.11．When Dell's parents learned about his absence from class, they ________.A．tried to help with his businessB．were too suspicious to accept itC．wanted him to go back to classD．encouraged him to compete with IBM12．It can be inferred from the article that ________.A．Dell was tired of his college lifeB．Dell was not devoted to his study at collegeC．Dell's college life helped him greatlyD．Dell didn't finish his final examsDStarting high school life can be extremely exciting and at the same time nervewracking. You may worry about all these things: what classes to take, what to wear on the first day of school and what will everyone think of you? But so far high school has been the best experience for me ever.On my first day of high school, I asked a senior where my class was, and he told me it was on the fourth floor, next to the pool. I found out five minutes later that we didn't even have a fourth floor and had no pool either! Besides that event, I didn't have any trouble with the older kids.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load and the size of the school. I went from fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn time management pretty quickly! Our class size was around 550, so being exposed (暴露) to so many new people was a big change. Getting involved in clubs, sports, music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade —it's always useful to have an upperclassman friend!The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've crammed (突击式学习) on the night before and got an A, but now I don't remember anything. I've changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Relating to academics, don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between “AP Chemistry” and “Racquet Sports”， the first will prove to be more useful!13．On the first day of high school, the author ________.A．failed to adapt himself to a new environmentB．found it was hard for him to get on with new classmatesC．was teased by a senior studentD．lost his way in the schoolyard14．Which of the following is TRUE about the author's advice on high school life?A．Making as many upperclassmen friends as possible.B．Taking an active part in various afterschool activities.C．Trying to obtain useful knowledge instead of getting good grades.D．Choosing easy but useful courses instead of practical ones.15．In writing the text, the author intends to ________.A．tell others his firstday experience at high schoolB．express his opinions on high school educationC．describe what can be learnt at high schoolD．share his life and thoughts at high schoolⅡ.任务型阅读Many people experience feelings of sadness, and depression in winter.Make a planThe winter months can often seem quite dull, many of us spending the majority of our time indoors.
