14.I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money.

In San Diego recently ＄325, 000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some

scientific experiments. The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by

wagging（摇动）their tails. Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out?

What about AIBO, a robotic pet, developed in Japan? In

Japanese aibou means "buddy". These pets have been

developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment.

They've been used in movies and music videos. Universities have

used them for educational purposes. However, in 2006 the

company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money. Was it worth a lot of

money?

Then there's NAO, a robot which has been developed by a French company. Its main

purpose is to make life easier for humans. It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality.

It can tell children a story, help in the classroom or the home, or act as a companion to those

people who need someone to be with. A fully developed one costs ＄16, that value for

money? Who can afford it anyway?

There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven't thought

of any.

A.公司

B.机构

C.对手

D.伙伴

the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost.

（3）What does the writer think of developing robots?

can help bring people a lot of fun.

has advantages in many ways.

may be useful but costs too much.

is worth a great deal of money.

15."This is John, " said Mr. Turner. The boy standing next to him was tall, with a friendly

face. I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs （大拇指）up. That meant they

were going to invite him to join the cool group. They smiled at him and he smiled back.

Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them. I was sure he

wouldn't choose me. I wasn't one of the cool kids.

"Hyun, I want you to be John's buddy this term, " said Mr. Turner. Me? I couldn't believe my

ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction. Adam and Chen even looked unhappy.

John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me. He smiled at me. "Hello, " he said

in a confident voice.

"Hello, " I replied, not looking at him.

All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me, but John didn't

seem to notice.

Finally the bell rang for a break. I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew that Adam and

Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John, and that John would decide that he'd

rather be buddies with them.

Sure enough, as soon as we got outside, Adam and Chen swaggered （大摇大摆地走）up

to us. "

Mr Turner says you're a good basketball player, John, "said Adam. "How'd you like to play

with us at lunch break? Hyun doesn't know anything about basketball."

"No thanks, "said John. "I'd rather play chess with Hyun, if he doesn't mind, Mr Turner says

he's an excellent player."

I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground. I remembered the saying we

learnt in class about not judging （判断）a book by its cover. I completely misjudged John.

七、阅读表达（本大题共3小题，共6分）

, Tom,

Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas.

I remember when I was learning English, I felt uncomfortable about speaking. I could

remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot

more confident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own

experience.

Don't worry about making mistakes. Other people will still know your meaning and they

probably won't notice your mistakes.

Use every chance you get to speak. For example, it's a good idea to use only English in

class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try

practicing new words and grammar learnt in class.

Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation

group, such as the chat groups in the study centre. They are free to join.

Practice speaking online. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with

someone from all around the world.
