三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

A

When disasters strike, sometimes rescuers can’t get into broken buildings. That’s when robots come into play.

Now, international research at Disaster City near Texas A&M may eventually save lives worldwide. In dark and dusty places, these American and Japanese researchers are at home. They’re creating the next generation of search and rescue robots.

“We’re seeing the mobility change to more pneumatic (气动的) types, where you’ve got very small robots like snakes,” says Doctor Robin Murphy. She runs the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue at Texas A&M University. Murphy has first-hand seen the destruction after natural disasters.

“It’s just incredible. As a scientist, it breaks your heart because you can see the possibilities for the technology, which makes a difference to those people whose lives are greatly affected and whose families don’t know what to do to solve the problem,” says Murphy.

This pile of small stones at Disaster City might not look like much, but to scientists and researchers it’s exactly what they need to see how these robots will perform when real disasters happen. When buildings fall down suddenly like they did during a severe earthquake in New Zealand in February, it’s critical (关键的) for rescuers to find survivors in the debris. The rescue work can be dangerous.

“Just like snakes can pass through all sorts of crowded places, this robot can go where other robots just can’t,” says Doctor Howie Choset. He and his team from Carnegie Melon University are working on one of the most unique (独特的) robots around. This snake-like device can be dropped down a hole just 2 inches wide.

There are several types of robots being tested at the Texas Engineering Extension Service “Disaster City” this week. Results from these experiments will be useful for developing the next generation of rescue robots.

36. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Robots come to the rescue

B. The depth that next generation of robots can reach

C. The sizes of robots

D. The pneumatic type of robot

37. Which of the following is TRUE of Doctor Robin Murphy?

A. She is a survivor of a disaster.

B. She was once on the spot of a disaster.

C. She lost her relatives in a disaster.

D. She once tested her robot after a disaster.

38. What’s so special about the robot tested at “Disaster City”?

A. It can go where other robots can’t.

B. Its size is the smallest.

C. It can see everything in the dark.

D. It can hear the shouts of the injured.

39. We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. new robots will replace rescuers in the future

B. the snake-like rescue robot has already been put into use

C. the best rescue robot is still to come

D. the future rescue robot can change its form

40. The underlined word “debris” is the closest in meaning to _______.

A. schools  B. apartments C. stores  D. ruins

B

American novelist Margaret Mitchell was the author of one of the most famous novels ever written, Gone with the Wind (1936), for which she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. An American film adaptation (改编本) in 1939 received a record-breaking number of Academy Awards.

Margaret Mitchell was born on November 8, 1900 in Atlanta, Georgia. Her father was president of the local historical society and her mother was president of one of the South’s suffragette (鼓吹妇女参政) groups. She was also a strict woman who did not want to spoil (溺爱) her daughter. Apparently, Mitchell grew up listening to stories about the battles the Confederate Army had fought there during the American Civil War. At the same time the awareness of women’s rights formed in her mind at a young age. Later, she used these tales as inspiration for her famous novel.

At the age of 22, Mitchell began a career as a journalist, but an ankle injury forced her to rest at home. By that time she had married and started to work on her novel, which took ten years to complete. When a traveling book editor visited Atlanta in search of new material, she unwillingly let him have a look at her manuscript (手稿). Gone with the Wind was published when Mitchell was 36.

Gone with the Wind is a clearly drawn tale of the American Southern life during and after the Civil War, which is told through the lives of two families, their relatives, friends and slaves. It centers on Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler. It has been praised as the first novel to tell the story of the Civil War from a Southern woman’s point of view. The effect Gone with the Wind had and still has on the world is immeasurable. With Gone With the Wind Margaret brought a promising message to all people — “Tomorrow is another day”.

41. We learn from the first paragraph that Gone with the Wind _______.

A. wasn’t much of a success until the film adaptation was released

B. was a great success both as a novel and a film

C. was widely read only after 1939

D. wasn’t an immediate success as a film

42. What do we know about Margaret Mitchell’s mother?

A. She held a position in the government office.

B. She had a good knowledge of history.

C. She was very strict with Margaret Mitchell.

D. She had no interest in politics.

43. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Margaret Mitchell _______.

A. was positively influenced by her family background

B. didn’t have a happy childhood

C. had the idea of writing a great novel at a young age

D. was taught at home by her parents

44. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Gone with the Wind didn’t attract the traveling book editor.

B. Mitchell had always wanted her novel to be published.

C. Mitchell began to write novels before she got married.

D. Gone with the Wind was published thanks to the traveling book editor.

45. Gone with the Wind is highly praised mainly because _______.

A. it contains a promising message

B. it is the first novel to describe the Civil War

C. it tells the Civil War from a special point of view

D. it is a vivid description of the American Southern life

C

Dr. David Sullivan, a dentist, is just wild about teeth. Dr. David, as many people call him, has some unusual patients. They aren’t the children he typically sees each day. They’re big and hairy, and sometimes they weigh more than four hundred pounds. They’re real animals — zoo animals.

On most days, Dr. Sullivan tends to his human patients, teaching them how to brush and care for their teeth. On some days, however, the Cincinnati Zoo calls with some special work for him to do. Since 1982, Dr. Sullivan has volunteered to perform dental surgery on many of the animals. The zoo may ask him to pull the tooth of a Bengal tiger or repair the long curved teeth of an elephant. Whatever they ask, it certainly wouldn’t be usual work for most dentists. For most, this would be a frightening experience.

Luckily, Dr. Sullivan thinks differently. “I’m not afraid of the animals,” he says. “I have been around them so often that I’m used to them.” How does a children’s dentist find himself caring for the teeth of wild animals? For Dr. Sullivan, it was a matter of chance.

“When I was a kid in school, the only thing I ever wanted to be was a veterinarian (兽医),” says Dr. Sullivan. “I even applied to veterinary school in college.” But Dr. Sullivan soon realized that he had allergy symptoms (过敏症状) volunteering at a veterinarian’s office, which included hard breathing, tearful eyes, etc.

After he became a dentist, Dr. Sullivan worked at Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati. While there, he was asked to help with dental work on some of the animals in the hospital’s research lab. It wasn’t long before he began a dental program for the animals.

“I’m also proud of the work we did on the first tiger,” he says. “There were no books to go by because the field was quite new, so we did it from beginning. The treatment was one hundred percent successful.”

While most of Dr. Sullivan’s patients have little idea that he spends some of his time working with large, dangerous animals, it’s probably good practice for him. After all, sometimes a busy dentist’s office can be a real zoo.

46. According to the passage, Dr. Sullivan _______.

A. spends most of his time caring for animals

B. gets no pay from treating sick animals in the zoo

C. used to be frightened of large animals very much

D. was a vet at first but later became a dentist by accident

47. Dr. Sullivan tends to think that _______.

A. treating animals isn’t unusual work

B. it is hard for others to treat animals

C. he has to talk with animals patiently

D. it is safe to touch the teeth of tigers

48. Why did Dr. Sullivan fail to be a professional veterinarian?

A. Because he lacked good opportunities.

B. Because he was asked to be a dentist.

C. Because there was no veterinary school in college.

D. Because he had bad response to some animals.

49. From the passage we know that _______.

A. few of his patients know he also treats zoo animals

B. Dr. Sullivan really expects to work in the zoo

C. it is very dangerous to work with zoo animals

D. dentists are supposed to treat zoo animals regularly

50. Which pair of the following words can describe Dr. Sullivan best?

A. Strong and curious. B. Strict and lucky.

C. Helpful and brave.   D. Challenging and clever.

D

India was once a colony (殖民地) in the British Empire. But now Indian tutors (私人教师) are helping to teach math to some British children over high-speed Internet connections. Students at Raynham Primary School in London are gathering for their after-school math lessons. Five time zones and thousands of kilometers away, their math tutors are also arriving for class. Each pupil gets an individual online tutor. The students work with activities on their computer screen and wear a headset and microphone to talk to their tutors.

Their classroom teacher, Altus Basson, says he has seen an improvement in results and children who struggle to focus in class focus a lot better on their laptops (笔记本电脑). Nine-year-old Samia Abdul-Kadir says, “It helps me because sometimes when we’re doing it in class, I don’t hear the teacher very clearly and I don’t understand, but online teaching and learning is better.” Her friend, Abdul-Fadil Badori, says, “You can hear the course online, which isn’t shared by everyone. Everyone has different topics they’re learning.”

Tom Hooper started the company, BrightSpark Education, which provides the online tutoring. “Children today feel very confident online and they feel very engaged (充实的) and believe that everything is under control. That’s half the battle for education. Give them control, make them feel confident and enjoy their learning and you’ll see them start to improve it,” says Tom Hooper.

Online tutoring costs between twenty and twenty-five dollars an hour. An online tutor is about half the cost of traditional face-to-face coaching. But some people say an Internet connection is not enough of a connection for teaching and learning. Kevin Courtney said, “We think there is something that is a really important emotional connection between a teacher and a child, whether it’s a whole class or it’s one-to-one. You need that immediate feedback (反馈), and we’re not convinced that it can happen across an Internet connection. In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, we think that we can afford to have teachers with the real emotional connection there with the children.” BrightSpark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition to supplement (补充) regular teaching and its service does not represent a threat to teachers’ jobs in Britain.

51. According to the passage, students at Raynham Primary School _______.

A. are less hard-working than the Indian students

B. show little interest in their conventional classes

C. are coached by Indian teachers over the Internet

D. share online lessons given by their British teachers

52. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. Altus Basson gives lessons to British and Indian kids.

B. Kids can’t concentrate on their laptops by themselves.

C. Abdul-Fadil Badori doesn’t agree with Samia Abdul-Kadir.

D. Teachers and students think highly of the online tutoring.

53. Which of the following is TRUE of the online tutoring?

A. It will replace traditional lessons.

B. It is supplied by BrightSpark Education.

C. It also offers online lessons to the students in other countries.

D. It is expensive for kids in developed nations.

54. Kevin Courtney tends to think that _______.

A. online tutoring lacks the emotional connection

B. teachers in Britain don’t work as hard as expected

C. students can’t get hold of essential knowledge through online tutoring

D. face-to-face coaching as well as online tutoring offers immediate feedback

55. From the passage, we know that online tutoring _______.

A. is good assistance with normal teaching

B. is going to threaten British teachers

C. will be open to more students for free

D. will focus on emotional communication

四、书面表达(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)

阅读下面短文，并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

[1] I cried very badly when I left my parents for the United States. It was hard for me to think that I would not see them for such a long time. I was used to the life with my parents’ help and support. Coming here was a great chance, and it was also a big challenge.

[2] For a girl who had been in an all girls’ school for her whole life, studying in a common school was thrilling. Everything was a challenge: daily life, school work, friends, food and the environment. However, I got through the hard time within less than a month. For that, I should say __________ to my friends and my host family, including my own family, who have been supporting me all the time.

[3] A lot of people might think or expect Americans to be what they see in movies, TV shows, or other media, but they are not. I have to admit that after watching the movie Mean Girls I was worried about whether I could make some new friends in the United States. You need to experience it yourself in order to know and learn what is real or what to believe in. I made a lot of friends. I did blend in with others finally.

[4] Every country has different cultures. As a girl from Thailand, I had limited experience with American culture. All I knew was from reading books and watching movies, so culture shock did slightly affect me. For example, when I first got picked up by my host family, they hugged me. That is the difference. Thais (泰国人) only hug when they know each other very well.

[5] After living in the United States for some time, I have got used to the life there. Things that once surprised me became what I am familiar with today.

56. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)
