less painful.the alberta childrens hospital in canada purchased four of the medi robots earlier this year. the bionic (仿生学的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to rxrobots, the group that created medi. the medis purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. the robots have produced real results. according to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a medi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medical procedures than those who do not. “parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot，” tanya beran, founder and chief scientific officer at rxrobots, told cnbc of medis success at the childrens hospital.the twofoottall robots can relieve patients anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. medi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (能力). the robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.“our research shows that when children interact with medi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure，” beran said. “this means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率)” beran said that medi robots are also a hit with parents. “knowing that there is something out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great，” sheila sousa, the mother of an 8yearold patient said.1medi robots are mainly used to _ahelp foreign

does the passage probably come from?aa travel guide.ba science magazine.ca book review.da storybook.beach year about 250，000 americans study in other countries. some studyabroad programs are trying harder to get students to learn about the local culture. one student, on his first morning in beijing, was brought to a distant part of the city. he received money and instructions on how to get back. it took some time but he succeeded.william finlay heads the sociology department at the university of georgia in the united states. he says challenges like this help students experience another culture.in 2008, professor finlay started a program with south africas stellenbosch university. the program combines traditional classroom learning with community involvement through a nongovernmental organization. he says: “weve been working with a particular nongovernmental organization in the town and we do two things: we run a number of creches (托儿所), which are basically day care centers for children whose parents are working, and the library in the community where there are some computers. our students typically work either with the little kids in the day care centers or they work in the library and teach very basic computer skills to mostly young adults.”hillary kinsey is studying international affairs. she spent three weeks in the stellenbosch program. she says it was interesting to learn the history of the area and the recent development. when ms kinsey returned from south africa recently, she and other students in the program created a nonprofit organization called ubunto, whose goal is to help improve education and development in south africa.mark lenhart is the executive director of cet academic programs. each year, that company places more than 1，000 students in semester and summer study programs.the programs are in china, jordan, the czech republic and other countries. he says: “in all of our locations, we place students with local roommates.” students gain from that, he says, but the experience is not always easy. he says：“not just in terms of language learning, but they also find the local culture can present challenges, and perhaps misunderstandings. they have to adjust to local life. its no longer ok just to have a little chinese, for instance. if students are studying chinese, they want to come home from a program like this fluent in chinese. and this will enable students to become more employable when they graduate.”5the student was taken to a distant part of beijing to _apractice speaking chinesebexperience chinese cultureclearn to use

willing to help improve education and development in south africabknows everything about the history and recent development of south africaccreated a nonprofit organization to learn more about south africas culturedcreated a nonprofit organization to improve americas education and development8which of the following would mark lenhart most probably agree with?ainternational students can easily get along well with their local roommates and benefit from this experience.bit is ok for international students to communicate in simple chinese with the help of body language.cspeaking a foreign language fluently makes international students find jobs more easily.dinternational students should choose students from the same culture as their roommates.cfor many years, people have been searching for a way to linger longer beneath the sea. today, we have much more advanced equipment to allow people to stay underwater for long periods of time. scuba and snuba are two ways that people can “breathe” underwater.scuba and snuba divers both breathe air from tanks. tubes from the tank deliver air to the divers mouthpiece. the difference between these two methods is where the tank is located. a scuba diver carries the tank on his or her back while swimming. by carrying the air supply, the scuba diver swims freely and can go hundreds of feet deep. with snuba, the swimmer does not wear the air tank. instead, the tank stays on a raft (筏子) on the waters surface. a twentyfoot tube brings the air from the raft tank to the swimmers mouthpiece. the snuba swimmer can breathe underwater, but he or she is always attached to the raft and can only swim twenty feet deep.a scuba diver has the underwater freedom, but that freedom comes with a cost. scuba divers carry equipment that weighs 60 to 75 pounds. learning how to use this equipment requires a lot of training. a diver begins learning how to use the equipment in a pool, then moves on to open water. when a diver is hundreds of feet deep, it is impossible to swim to the surface quickly. scuba divers must learn what to do in an emergency.snuba equipment, on the other hand, is very light. the swimmer only needs to wear a mask, the special snuba mouthpiece, a small weight belt, and a harness to connect the airline to the raft. swimmers can learn snuba quickly. snuba swimmers are never more than twenty feet deep, so they can easily swim to the surface in an emergency.because of all the equipment and training, you must be 15 years old in order to scuba dive. snuba, on the other hand can be done by kids as young as four years old! snuba is done mainly for fun. scuba, however, is not done simply for recreation. scuba divers repair ships and bridges, do underwater research, take photos, and even film movies underwater.9the tanks used in scuba and snuba diving _aare of different shapes bcontain different things cserve the same purposes dare always carried by the diver10it can be inferred from paragraphs 34 that _ascuba diving involves more risks than snuba bsnuba divers seldom practice in open watercsnuba divers are freer than scuba diversdscuba diving costs a lot of money11according to the last paragraph, scuba diving_ais

contrastccause and effectddefinition and classificationdscientific discoveries have changed mans life a great deal during the past century.first of all, they have greatly improved material wellbeing in several areas of life.in the field of medicine, cures for life threatening diseases have enabled people to live longer.in communication, the telephone and email have made it possible for us to communicate with anyone in the world without leaving our homes or offices.advances in transportation allow businessmen to fly across the ocean in the morning and return home the same evening.space technology has put men on the moon.more efficient ways of using available resources, such as coal and solar power, have been explored.scientific discoveries have also changed mans moral atmosphere.ethical (伦理的) issues are raised by these discoveries.should we keep a terminally ill person alive through drugs and machines or should we allow him to die in dignity? with advances in transportation has come the problem of pollution for nearly every major city in the world.if cities become uninhabitable, then such technical advances may come with too great a price to pay. many people also question the wisdom of sending men to the moon when there are urgent problems that have not been solved on earth.during future years, increasing attention must be given to the moral as well as the practical applications of science.13which of the following statements is true according to the passage?ascientific discoveries have only changed mans moral atmosphere.bscientific discoveries have only changed mans material wellbeing.cscientific discoveries have helped people find efficient ways of using available resources.dmen are sent to the moon because there are urgent problems that have not been solved on earth.14at the end of the passage the author says that increasing attention must be given to _athe moral applications of sciencebthe practical applications of

people who take notes all the time aremore likely to be successfulnotetaking is an essential skill in many areas of work and study. but is notetaking really useful in helping us to understand, remember, and retrieve (重新获得) essential points when we most need them? 16._ here are four reasons notetakers are on the fast track to success：17_ the action of writing information down is a great way to get fully involved in the learning process. notetakers are much more actively involved because they are processing the information and getting the essential facts down.they understand the importance of remembering the information. students need to remember all relevant information when faced with an exam question. a speaker may not have their notes at hand but will still have a better chance of actually remembering the facts if they have spared the time to prepare notes. 18._ howe in 1970 found that students who had taken notes were seven times more likely to remember facts a week later than those who had not.they do not rely on getting others notes. lots of students love asking the lecturers for a copy of their notes and with powerpoint and other software, this can be easily done. 19._ these students are not going to be very successful in school if they do this all the time.they know that taking notes helps them achieve their goals. 20._ there are quite a few studies not showing that the actual process of taking notes helps people to boost (推进) their learning and also achieve their goals. researchers at the dominican university of california have discovered that writing down goals and sharing them are crucial (至关重要的) in helping people to achieve their aims.aresearch backs this up.bthey are actively learning.cthis is no accident or coincidence.dthey know how to prepare for notetaking.ebut the results for the students are not very good.fnaturally, it does depend a lot on the subject matter.gthe answer is yes, although individual styles and methods may vary.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)jack london (18761916) was an american writer and author of the call of the wild, white fang, and numerous other novels.financial difficulties _21_ jack london to leave

in this school. in the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. what impressed me best was an activity called “learning to farm”. in an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside.
