University has found that a lovable dog named Sparky and a robotic dog AIBO were about equally effective at reducing the loneliness of nursing home residents The study confirmed previous findings that dogs have a good effect on nursing home residents Dr Andrew Smith led the Stanford University team that built a home assistance robot If humans can feel an emotional tie with robots some day they could be not just our assistants but also our companions he said To test whether residents responded better to Sparky a trained dog or the Sony made robotic dog researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three groups at three long term care centers in St Louis One group had weekly 30 minute one on one visits with Sparky another group had similar visits with AIBO a control group had no contact with either dog The groups respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits After two months both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached Most of the elderly regarded Sparky a 9 year old dog as an audience for their life stories said investigator Marian Banks He listened attentively wagged his tail and allowed them to pet him said Banks who adopted and trained Sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago Those who were together with AIBO took a little longer to warm to the robotic creature Over time however they grew comfortable with him and petted and talked to him He would respond by wagging his tail vocalizing and blinking his lights AIBO is charming once you start to interact with him said the study s author Dr William Banks He s an attractive sort of guy He gives a feeling of being personal not just a robot 43 Before the new study it

the passage A Robots and Dogs Can Equally Cheer up the Elderly B Robots Serve People Better Than Thought C No More Lonely Old Age with Emotional Robots D Advanced Technology Used to Cheer up the Elderly D Americans wear black for mourning while Chinese wear white Westerners think of dragons as monsters Chinese honor them as symbols of God Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities 对立 with the West as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string Now in the University if California Berkeley a psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth His findings go gar toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive when compared to each other More importantly the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth said Kaiping Peng a former Beijing Scholar who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology And Americans could profit enormously from he Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life he said 用心 爱心 专心8 Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument said Peng The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really don t need to find the truth or maybe there isn t any Chinese people said Peng are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans he added In studies of interpersonal argument for example when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school Peng found that Americans were non compromising blaming one side usually the mother for the causes of the problems demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise in dealing with the conflict Compared to this angry blaming American method the Chinese were paragons 模范 of compromise finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle 47 In Paragraph 1 the author sets examples in order to A expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans B find the reason for the differences C show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture D generalize the main idea of the passage 48 Compared with Americans Chinese are A likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things B unwilling to admit their own failure C unwilling to have a general idea of things D likely to find the truth in life 49 The studies show A an American treats his or her mother badly B different ideas of treating the aged C different conflicts of Americans and Chinese D different personality of Chinese and Americans 50 The main idea of the passage is A extreme ends of the string B polarities between American and Chinese cultures C different attitudes towards the aged 用心 爱心 专心9 D different manners in social occasions 第二节 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 共 5 小题 每小题 3 分 满分 15 分 How to Do Well in Exams Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination The closer you are to the exam the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information But do not overdo it 51 An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period so in the days leading up to your first exam get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it On the day of the exam have a good breakfast pack two of everything you need pens pencils erasers etc then make your way to the examination hall in good time 52 Once in your seat simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts Close your eyes and take in a few slow deep breathes to help you relax When you turn over the test paper spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions paying particular attention to key verbs such as discuss compare and evaluate 53 It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest It will give you more confidence when you see a well answered question down on paper Also remember to write clearly and do not be afraid to express the unexpected after all examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers 54 If you do need something else focus on to help collect your thoughts choose a fixture in the room such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted 分神 Finally once you have finished never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students 55 A Try not to be tempted to look at those around you or at the clock B Do not arrive too early though as other people s
