But in fact they have a long history. The first one was made by a Greek inventor(发明家). You may often see robots in lots of movies. The robots in the movies are stronger, faster and cleverer than people. In real life, most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous, difficult or boring jobs. Some people can't look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example, some people can't see. They use dogs to help themselves move around. These dogs are called guide dogs. Scientists are making robots to help them. In the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to sick people's rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system.In the future, robots will work in space. But robots will never [take theplace of] humans though they can help us in a lot of different ways.(1)People can often see stronger, faster and cleverer robots .A. in spaceB. in all hospitalsC. on the streetD. in the movies(2)In real life, most robots work .A. in factoriesB. for the sick peopleC. at homesD. for scientists(3)The underlined phrase "take the place of" means .A.占位.B.获胜.C.代替D.发生(4)Robots can't get lost in hospitals, because .A. they walk after the doctors.B. they can ask people the way.C. they have a map in their hands.D. their computer system helps them.(5)From the passage we know that .A. robots are still very new to some people.B. the first robot was invented by an American many years ago.C. most robots work as guides for people.D. robots can work in space now.34.(★★★)Everybody knows that cats like to sleep. They spend more than half their lives sleeping and enjoy every minute of it. Other animals have different sleeping habits, however. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend about six hours sleeping every day and they do it standing up!Fish also sleep every day but they have a strange habit. They don't closetheir eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep they keep one eye open and one half of their brain awake. It helps them stay [alert] and watch out fordangerous animals.So what about us?Well, most people sleep for about a third of their lives. The number of hours you sleep, however, has to do with your age. Most newborn babies sleep alot. They spend about 75% of their time sleeping every day! As we get older we need less sleep. Children need about eleven hours and adults sleep for eight hours every night.So, yes, you spend many hours a year doing nothing ---sleeping in bed!But you're not just asleep ---you're not really doing nothing. Your body andyour mind relax during this time, but a lot of things happen during sleep. Dreams are one way that the mind relaxes after a busy day. A person spends about 20% of every night dreaming. That means you have about four or five dreams every night or about 1,600 dreams a year.(1)From the passage, we know that a horseA. sleeps with one eye open.B. keeps standing up when sleeping.C. spends half of its life sleeping.D. doesn't close its eyes when sleeping(2)What does the underlined word "alert" in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?A.害怕的.B.自由的.C.警惕的.D.特别的.(3)According to the passage, how long do most newborn babies sleep one day?A. About 12 hours.B. About 14 hours.C. About 16 hours.D. About 18 hours.(4)What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. How we can have a good sleep.B. Why some people don't have dreams.C. How many dreams we have every night.D. What our body and mind are doing when we're sleeping.(5)Where does the passage probably come from?A. An art book.B. A story book.C. A science book.D. A medical book.五、任务型完形填空(共10空;每空1分,满分10分)35.(★★★★) American summers are filled with outdoor picnics,baseball games and swimming pools.Summer in America is a time(76) the outdoors,no matter how hot it might be.Let's take a look at some of the popular drinks.Lemonade is(77) of all American summer drinks.It (78) by mixing lemon juice,water and sugar.It is usually served very cold with ice.Ice tea is(79) popular summer drink in America.Ice tea is usually(80)in a tall glass of ice.Many Americans(81) to add sugar to sweeten the drink.This drink is often drunk in the afternoon(82) relaxing in the shade.Ice tea is now also sold by the bottle,at almost any store in America.The Slurpee,a famous American drink in recent years,is a great (83) to cool off in the summer heat.It is a mix of ice,sugar and fruit juices.However,the drink is mostly made of ice.They can (84) at most small convenient stores.Slurpees are popular with young Americans.Milkshakes have a long (85)in America.It is made of a mix of ice cream,milk and flavoring.六、任务型阅读理解(共1小题;每题2分,满分10分)36.(★★★)In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive (竞争性的) sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.Sports days, or sports meets, are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the end of the school year. They are also called field days. Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg and the spoon race and the sack race. Other events include the skipping race (跳绳) and the three-legged race. In middle and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events (田径项目). They are more serious and competitive than primary school ones.Students' parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports days. They watch children play. Many schools in the West have "mothers and fathers" races for parents to take part in!Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the USA, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much pressure(压力) on the children.

Unluckily, soon after her book was published, her husband told her he was having an affair with a young man and was going away for the weekend to be with her.On Friday, the 3rd of December 1926, Agatha Christie kissed her daughter who was asleep upstairs and drove away from the house.Her car was later found abandoned(被遗弃的)on an empty road near a lake, so people began the search for the gifted writer.It was 11 days later before someone recognized Agatha at a spa hotel in Harrogate.She had been living there using another name all that time.On her return, she never said much about what had happened.Over the years, many people guess why she disappeared.Some people said that she was upset with her husband and lost her memory as he was having an affair.A few people even thought that it was a publicity(宣传) trick to make sure that her newly-published book would sell well.To this day no one knows for sure what happened and why.While books and even a movie have been made about the mysterious 11 days, it would seem that even the greatest detective Hercule Poirot would not be able to solve this mystery!1.Who was Hercule Poirot?______________________________________________________________________2.What factor do we know that Agatha’s books have been known to the world?______________________________________________________________________3.Why did Agatha feel lonely in the beginning of 1926?______________________________________________________________________4.What was the date when Agatha drove away from her home?______________________________________________________________________5.People didn’t recognize Agatha when she had been at a spa hotel for 11 days, did they?______________________________________________________________________6.Do you think Agatha’s missing was a publicity trick?

He held up a sign(牌子)which said, "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see thenew words.Soon the hat began to fill up(填满). A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." I wrote, "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."Of course both signs told people the boy was blind.

If you enjoy reading, don't miss Shakespeare and Company when you visit the city of Paris. It is a famous English-language bookstore on the left bank of the river Seine. The first Shakespeare and Company in history was opened in 1919 by an American, Sylvia Beach. Ms. Beach did more than sell books. Her bookstore was also a library, and she even prepared beds for writers visiting there. Ms. Beach was not only kind to people but also good at choosing books, so her bookstore was often visited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But in 1941, after the Germans took power in Paris, Ms. Beach was told to close her bookstore.
