Passage 1

On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with

her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the Over

60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman

who lived alone.

《英语》A卷 第3页共12页

At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke.

Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? she checked the back

door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced

entry.

Over a cup of tea, she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her

front door----“a master key” perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday.

Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she

went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took

a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She

settled down to wait.

It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making

a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being

pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the

front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The

wire turned and caught around the knob(门把) on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raise the

kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed

to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back,

and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.

31. Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because she .

A. joined in a special activity

B. could meet her old friends

C. regularly visited a club

D. had a special visitor to meet

Passage 2

When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually

spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking

about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other person’s good points, things will

be quite different.

One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our

sone or daughter when he or she brings a good report card, and we fail to encourage our

children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing

pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.

The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it

is excellently prepare, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please

mention it.

Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself

or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies

to professionals applies doubly to workers in office, shops and factories and our families

《英语》A卷 第5页共12页

and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates

are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.

Passage 3

Once upon a time, two brothers, Jack and Tom, who lived on neighboring farms, fell

into conflict. For the past 20 years, they had been on good terms farming side by side,

《英语》A卷 第6页共12页

sharing machinery, trading labor and goods as needed. The dispute began with a small

misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an

exchange

of bitter

words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a

carpenter’s

toolbox. “I’m looking for a few jobs. Could I help you?” “Yes,” said Jack. “I

do have one for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That’s my neighbor；in fact, it’s

my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer

to the river levee and now there is a steam between us. Well, he may have done this to

offend me , but I’ll go one better. See the pile of lumber(木材) by the house? I want you

to build me a fence----an 8-foot fence.”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the tools and I’ll be

able to do a job that pleases you.” Jack had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the

carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked

hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. When Jack returned, the carpenter had

just finished his job.

Jack’s eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was

a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of

handrails and all—and his younger brother was coming across, his hand outstretched.

“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.”

The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle,

taking each other’s hand. They turned to see the carpenter was ready to leave. “No, wait!

Stay. I have a lot of other projects for you.” said Jack.

“I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but, I have so many more bridges to build.”

41. In the past 20 year, Jack and Tom kept their relationship .

A. serious B. tense C. distant D. close

Passage 4

Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our

homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start

seeing so-called “social robots” capable of engaging with people.

Today’s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with

people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says, Massachusetts

Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal.

“Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you’re interacting

with someone rather than something,” she said. “And social robots are really designed to

engage you in much more of an interaction than feels like a cooperation or partnership.”

At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which

features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says

social robots must be adapted to social situations.

“You know if you’re going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to

obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move

about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact

that they’re around us,” he said.

Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO

of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is ready being

tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people.

“It’s designed to be in human spaces and interact with people and around people,” he

said. “So it interacts with the front desk agent when they’re sending it somewhere. It

interacts with people in the elevator as it’s going along. And, it interacts with people at

the door when the delivery arrives.”

So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking

family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be

extended into many different areas.

46. What will social robots do according to the scientists?

A. They will explore underwater objects. B. They will clean the big house.

C. They will cooperate with people. D. They will build different kinds of cars.

47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Social robots are more difficult to design.

B. Industrial robots are more complicated to design.

C. Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.

D. Industrial robots can do less than social robots.

48. It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. social robots only serve the people they like

B. it’s better for social robots to work in a hotel

C. it’s better for social robots to have a human face

D. social robots will be under the control of human beings

49. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The function of social robots. B. The use of industrial robots.

C. The daily life of robots. D. The way of designing robots.

50. Which of the following best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?

A. Critical B. Objective C. Subjective D. Prejudiced

Part III Close. (15%)

Direction: There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank, there are four

choices. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that

he couldn’t move. What was the 51 was that he found himself unable to ask for

help---his mobile phone went out of 52 because of the exhausted battery. 53

could be done but wait in cold wilderness. It was eight hours later that day broke, and

then the rescue arrived.

It can 54 imagine that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long.

Even more surprising was his 55 : “First of off, I checked up my physical

conditions and found myself not in mortal danger. As there was no tools to 56 help,

I leaned back in my seat trying my best to 57 the wound from bleeding. In this way

I dozed off.”

His story put an end to my regret for the sadness of an exploration adventure that

happened last year. A group of young men 58 to explore a mountain cave and got

lost. 59 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously

without a sense of 60 . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to

the rescue people 61 found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10

meters away from the 62 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost

their way and tried to calm themselves, they would probably 63 a faint light

glimmering not far away.

Don’t you think you can compare it with life 64 ? When you meet with

difficulty in life and work, and you are not clear about it yet, you 65 put up struggle

immediately. It seems to be a negative attitude, but a person who can afford to do so must

have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.
