there are robots all around us. some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. and some do one simple job. when an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. the machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. it does this by “feedback”(反馈). information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. they tell us what is going on around us. so robots are like human beings in two ways. they work and they have feedback.in some ways robots are better than human beings. they work quickly and do not make mistakes. they do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. and they never get tired. so robots are very useful in factories. they can be taught to do many different jobs. first their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. a person moves the robots “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.the most intelligent robots can move and see. their eyes are cameras. their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. these robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. the expensive robots are used in scientific research. they do such job as handling radioactive materials.36. in this passage the author tells us that _.a. robots are very popular b. there are various kinds of robotsc. we see robots only at certain times d. robots can be easily controlled37. what does the author seem to inform you about robots?a. they should be greatly improved. b. they will probably take over in the future.c. they are very helpful and useful to humans. d. they are machines that break down a lot.38. the author says that in industry _.a. robots break down a lot b. robots can do many jobsc. robots only get in the way d. robots sometimes cause troublesb “it hurts me more than you”, and “this is for your own good” these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when i had to learn latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.that was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. the schools and the educators made it easy for us. they taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. we stopped making our children do homework. we gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing weve made a terrible mistake. one such teacher is sharon clomps who says of her students“so passive” and wonders what has happened. nothing is demanded of them, she believes. television, says clomps, contributes to childrens passivity. “were talking about a generation of kids who vet never been hurt or hungry. they have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying go and look it up, you tell them the answer. it takes greater energy to say no to a kid.” yes, it does. it takes energy and it takes work. its time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. it s time to take the car away, to turn the tv off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it s for their own good. its s time to start telling them no again.39. children are becoming more inactive in study because _.a. they watch tv too often b. they have done too much homeworkc. they have to fulfill too many dutiesd. teachers are too strict with them40. we learn from the passage that the authors mother used to lay emphasis on _.a. learning latin b. disciplinec. natural development d. education at school41. the main idea of the passage is that _.a. parents should leave their children aloneb. kids should have more activities at schoolc. its time to be more strict with our kidsd. parents should always set a good example to their kidsca handsome middleaged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down.before he ordered，he couldnt help but notice a group of younger men at the bable next to him.it was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasnt until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(丝带)on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.the man pretended not to notice it，but the whisper and laughter began to get to him.he looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye，placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked，“this？”with that the young men all began to laugh out loud.the man he spoke to said，“hey，sorry，man，but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket！”the middleaged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table，and politely seated him.as uncomfortable as he was，the young guy had to，not really sure why.in a soft voice，the middleaged man said，“i wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer.i wear it in my mothers honor.”“oh，sorry.she died of breast cancer？”“no，she didnt.shes alive and well.but her breasts nourished me as a baby，and were a soft resting place for my head when i was scared or lonely as a little boy.im very grateful for my mothers breasts，and her health.”“umm，”the young replied，“yeah.”“and i wear this ribbon to honor my wife，”the man continued.“and shes okay，too？”the young guy asked.“oh，yes.shes fine.her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us，and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago.im grateful for my wifes breasts，and her health.”“uh，huh.and i guess you wear it to honor your daughter，too？”“no.its too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now.”shaken and ashamed，the young guy said，“oh，i m so sorry，mister.”“so，in my daughters memory，too，i proudly wear this little ribbon，which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others.and here.”with this，he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon.the young guy looked at it，slowly raised his head and asked，“.？”42the young men joked about the middleaged mans _.alooks bribbon cattitude dclothes43what may have happened to the mans daughter?ashe died of breast cancer. bshe was ill with cancer.cshe had gone abroad. dshe got married.44what will the young man probably ask at the end of the story?amay i give it to my mother? bcan you help me put it on?cwill you please forgive me? dshall we have some drink together?第卷（非选择题）四根据所学课文内容填空，每空填一个词。（共14小题，每小题1分，满分14分）for forty years jane goodall has been_45_ about making
