Scrap metal robots created by a Chinese farmer can pour tea and paint pictures. Global designers of robots are making them more capable, powerful and affordable, so they will play more roles in more sectors, from manufacturing to health care, and they can help around the house. Now Toyota, the worlds biggest car maker, and Canon, the biggest camera maker, have joined research and development to make robots a practical reality, like a PC. The Expo Shanghai is a place where China can learn about advanced robotics, and a stage for made-in-China robots. Developers are taking robots from “Star Wars” and top laboratories and putting them into the industrial sector, even in consumer markets. They are used in health care, computer programming, manufacturing and culture. The goals are to add more practical functions and to cut prices, and lower cost comes with higher volume. “The World Expo is a unique opportunity to demonstrate French technology，”says Bruno Maisonnier，chief executive of Aldebaran Robotics, which shows Nao robots in the France Pavilion. More than 700 Nao robots, which cost 1,000 to12,000 euros (US $ 14,640) each, are sold mainly to research organizations, including 60 to 70 in China. The French-based company aims to promote robots in the general public market starting from late2011，with entertainment or learning functions at a reasonable price, according to Maisonnier. Visitors to the Japan Pavilion are struck by Toyotas dextrous Partner Robot playing the Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower on the violin. Other robots play other instruments, but the violin is the most complicated. Many people were so enchanted by the robotic musician that they overlooked other Partner Robots, designed to be personal assistants especially for Japans aging population.

Robots show at the World Expo 2010 ShanghaiMalaysia Airlines Flight MH370, after its shocking disappearance, has caught the attention of millions around the world as the search for the airplane and its passengers and crew continues. What happened to the flights 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.But its hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage（残骸）and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot (自动驾驶仪) to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.Amelia Earhart: Top pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to travel around the globe. No sign of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived.

A pair of Argentineans rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed to Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people.

Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people. The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and moreliving days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (寿命) can be prolonged. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial (皇家的) family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.32 What does “them” in the second paragraph refer to ?A. People with cancer or heart disease.B. Millions of people with serious diseases.C. Some diseases doctors can do nothing with.D. The two illnesses of cancer and heart disease33 What can gene technology do according to paragraph three?A. It can help the English imperial family out.B. It can be used to clone human babies.C. It can help people to give birth of a baby.D. It is likely to treat hereditary diseases.34 What are people worried about according to the passage?A. Human babies may be cloned in a large scale.B. Healthy human babies will soon be cloned.C. Scientists may well find the wrong genes.D. The government may not control gene techs.35 This passage is mainly written to _.A. show gene technology will benefit peopleB. show gene technology will do harm as wellC. tell that gene technology is a hot topicD. tell that gene technology is growing fast第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Some Ways to Deal With Hardship and Pain in LifeRegardless of the difficulties you may face, its getting back up and moving forward that counts the most when you need to deal with hardship.36Write or talk about how you feelKeeping my feelings to myself used to make me feel lonely, but when I found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how I felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situations. 37 Although talking to strangers about your issues may seem crazy, it actually isnt.38It is said that running away from your problems will never help, and though thats partially true, it doesnt mean that you need to make yourself go so deeply into a situation that you run out of air to breathe and lose the ability to weigh the pros and cons of your choices. That happens more than we like to admit, which is why its important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders.Remind yourself that youre not aloneRegardless of who or what you depend on, you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care. 39 Sometimes its strangers who may share the same feelings as you do. Think about ityou may not know any of these readers personally but they could be in the exact same situation as you, so in fact, no one is truly alone.Accept the results and get back up again40 Whether the results of your choices proved to be helpful or not, its time for you to accept them and get back up. This time you have a new experience to add to your book of life so the next time something tries to knock you down, it wont be easy because you will be strong and determined to push forward. Life will go on, time will never stand still, and it rests upon you to make the right decision of moving forward.A. Separate yourself from the situation.B. Tell yourself to accept the hardship.C. Finally, its time to accept what has happened.D. All in all, remember that life is short.E. Not only did I speak to him about how I felt, but I decided to blog about it.F. Here are some things Ive tried just to help me believe in a brighter future and get over a tough situation.G. Even if its just one person, thats enough to give you reason to remind yourself that you will never truly be alone.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Reading and learning new words is about finding their meaning and use within a passage.
