And in December, a single event killed more than 2000 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars can help a lot, but it introduces new difficulties because of dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris from the work. Its a quite dangerous job, says Giorgio Pezzuto of D Appolonia, working with eight other companies. Now there may be an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber.The idea is to operate a machine far away that can do the stabilizing job without a human being near,says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by a European organization. Engineers say that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. It should be able to climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there. Testing should begin in May.（1）The underlined word eventrefers to_A . earthquakeB . debrisC . dustD . landslide（2）The purpose in writing this text is _A . to tell people how serious the damage caused by landslides isB . to tell people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a dangerous jobC . to show people how to use a new robotD . to introduce a new robot that can be used to stabilize mountainsides（3）What does the robot look like?A . human beingB . spiderC . steel barD . a drill（4）A landslides cause _in damage in the United States Every year .A . 25 to 50 deathsB . more than 2000 people diedC . $2 billionD . both A and C（5）The biggest advantage of this product is that_A . it will be faster and cheaper than manual laborB . it can climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there.C . it can do the stabilizing job without human beings nearD . it is like a spider24. （10分）阅读理解CHICAGO- Have you ever worked on your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap, heating up your legs? If so, you might want to rethink that habit from now on. Doing it a lot can lead to “toasted skin syndrome (症状)”, an unusual-looking spotted skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure (暴露), according to medical reports.In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy from California developed a skin discoloration on his left lap after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months. “He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, he did not change its position,” Swiss researches reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.Another similar case is a Virginia law student who needed treatment for the spotted darkening on her leg. Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer placed on her lap. As Dr. Salkey later learnt, the temperature under the laptop could reach 51 degrees. That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.The condition can also be caused by overuse of heating pads (垫子) and other heat sources that usually arent hot enough to cause burns. Its generally harmless but can also cause such permanent (永久的) skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel. They do not mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it on your lap.Dr. Kimberley Salkey said that under the microscope, the affected skin is similar to skin damaged by long-term sun exposure.Major producers including Apple and Dell warn against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for long periods of time because of the risks for burns. In the past, “toasted skin syndrome” has happened to workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source, including bakers and glass blowers, and in people who gathered near hot stoves to stay warm.Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, chief at Childrens Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said that its unlikely that computer use would lead to cancer since its so easy to avoid close skin contact (接触) with laptops.（1）According to the passage, “toasted skin syndrome” can be caused by all the followingEXCEPT _.A . being close to a heat source or hot stovesB . long period of direct contact to hot laptopC . using ones laptop with a carrying caseD . overuse of heating pad and other heat sources（2）The underlined word “discoloration” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _.A . spotB . darkeningC . sunburnD . heat（3）It can be learnt from the passage that laptop users _.A . should avoid close skin contact with laptopsB . are likely to develop a certain kind of cancerC . have known much about the harm of laptop heatingD . should go to see the doctor at once（4）Some computer producers warn against placing laptops on laps for long periods of timebecause of _.A . the risk for burnsB . the risk of droppingC . the risk of breakingD . the protection of back bone（5）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? _.A . Laptop is DangerousB . Skin Damage is PossibleC . A Bad HabitD . No laps for Warm Laptops25. （8分）阅读理解 The year is 2045. A goal is scored at the soccer World Cup. Is that possible? Many scientists believe it is. In fact, there are already robots that can play soccer. Todays scientists are working on robots with various skills.When people started making robots, they were made to do just simple things, mainly in factories. Since then, however, robots have changed a lot. Early robots were operated by humans. Todays robots function(运行) themselves. Some can only move around a little, like robot cleaners, but others can do much more like running, dancing and even playing soccer.Then there are robots designed to be like humans. These robots have faces and can show emotions(表情). Such robots can learn new things, and show us how they feel.Scientists arent just building humanlike robots. They are also making robots that look and act like animals. At NASA, scientists are making a robot snake. Its a kind of vehicles with wheels. These snake buts can enter holes and move over rough(粗糙的) ground. They might one day help scientists look for signs of life on Mars.But can a robot soccer team ever operate all on their own, or play as well as a human team? Many robot scientists think so. Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions（1）Todays robots can . A . act like animalsB . think like humansC . look for signs of life on MarsD . win the world championship（2）The underlined word various in Paragraph 1 probably means . A . 良好的B . 多样的C . 复杂的D . 先进的（3）The second paragraph mainly talks about . A . how the earliest robots worked in factoriesB . how todays robots are different from early robotsC . why early robots could not do things by themselvesD . why todays robots can do much more on their own（4）Which of the followings would the writer probably agree with? A . Scientists cannot build humanlike robots.B . Robots can learn new things without feelings.C . There wont be robot soccer players that think by themselves.D . There will be robot soccer Mavers that May as well as humans.四、 词汇运用。 (共1题；共16分)26. （16分）根据句意及汉语提示完成句子。（1）Herry loves animals so that he _ _ _ _ (下定决心) to be a vet(兽医), especially for dogs.（2）_ _ great _ (使我们感到高兴的是), we won the Excellent Class Award in our school.（3）People make Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival _ _ _ (为了纪念) Qu Yuan.（4）Romeo and Juliet is a wonderful play.
