On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and rehearsed (practiced) all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I havent lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. Its about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didnt stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu” and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said, “Portsmouth” and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didnt make me very popular, of course.“He thinks hes clever,” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brians team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.“Hes big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.I suppose Mr Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.“Do you want to join my gang (team)?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.51The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “_”.A. How old are you?B. Do you want to join my gang?C. When did you come back to London?D. where are you from?52We can learn from the passage that _.A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students B. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeperC. the writer was not greeted as he expected D. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness53The underlined part “I didnt stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not _.A. welcomeB. outstandingC. importantD. noticeable54The writer was offered a handkerchief because _.A. he threw himself down and saved the goalB. he was beginning to be acceptedC. he was no longer a new comer D. he pushed a player on the other teamBA modern-day love story of a man spotting the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her down over the Internet has failed to have a fairytale ending with the relationship over.For Web designer Patrick Moberg, then 21, from Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he spotted a woman on a Manhattan train last November. But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch to find her www. N.Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people, it only took Moberg 48 hours to track down the woman, with his phone ringing non-stop and email box overflowing as usually cynical New Yorkers took sympathy on the subway Romeo and joined his hunt.The mysterious girl was named as Camille Hayton, from Melbourne, Australia, who was working at the magazine Black Book and also lived in Brooklyn. One of her friends spotted the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her.But after finding each other, appearing on TV and getting international press, the couple took their romance out of the public eye, with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to make any more comments until now.Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didnt work out.“I say we dated for a while but now were just friends,” Hayton, now 23, told the newspaper. Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as “that girl” and the question is always the same：“So what happened?”“I think the situation was so intense that it linked us,” she said, adding, “it linked us in a way that you could mistake, I guess, for being more romantic than it was. I dont know. But I wanted to give it a go so I didnt wonder what if, what if?”Hayton told The Sunday Telegraph that she is enjoying single life in New York, keeping busy with acting classes, working in two clothing stores. Last week she had a small role as a waitress in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns.“I just cant believe it happened. It feels like a long time ago,” said Hayton. Moberg, however, was still refusing to comment on the relationship.55After Moborg lost the girl in the crowd, he set up a website with_.A. a pretty notice to find her B. an exciting program to attract herC. a rough drawing to discover her D. an inspiring story to move her56Moberg found the girl in a short time because _.A. he got help from the net citizens B. he e-mailed everybody in the cityC. he continued his hunt day and night D. he phoned everybody in the city57What has happened to Hayton after the subway romance? _A. She has become a superstar in the city. B. She still gets noticed in the streets in New YorkC. She has become a journalist in Australia. D. She is out of work and is looking for a new job.58The best title for this passage may be _.A. NY a heartbreaking city for the young coupleB. NY subway romance causes debateC. NY a romantic city for the young couple D. NY subway romance hits endCTOKYOA child-like robot that combines the roles of nurse, companion and security guard is to go on the market to help the growing ranks of elderly Japanese with no one to look after them.The “Wakamaru” robot can walk around a house 24 hours a day, warning family, hospitals and security firms if it perceives (notices) a problem. It will, for example, call relatives if the owner fails to get out of the bath.Cameras implanted in the “eye-brows” of the robot enable it to “see” as it walks around an apartment. The images can be sent to the latest cellphones, which display the pictures.Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which developed Wakamaru, plans to start selling the metre-high robots by April, 2020, for about 15,000 Cdn.Wakamaru, which speaks with either the voice of a boy or girl, is also designed to provide companionship, greeting its “papa” when he comes home.It is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations, based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words. It cannot only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.It will ask “Are you all right ?” if its owner does not move for some time. If the answer is no, or there is no answer, it will telephone preset numbers, transmitting images and functioning as a speakerphone.Wakamaru will inform a security firm if there is a loud bang or if an unknown person enters the house while the owner is out or asleep. It can recognize up to 10 faces.But like most robots it cannot climb stairs.It can be set to remind forgetful people when it is time to take medicine, eat and sleep.Mitsubishi adapted Wakamaru from robots it already makes to go around nuclear power facilities. The idea to use the technology in the home came from a company employee.The project chief said, “Looking at the ageing of society and the falling birth rate we decide that this could work as a business. We want to offer Wakamaru as a product that helps society.”The technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan among increasing concern over how to look after the ever-growing number of old people. The life expectancy of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world.At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents, whom they rarely see because of their long hours at the office.59. Which of the following is true about the Robot? _.A. It can recognize as many as 10 faces. B. It is used in some nuclear power facilities.C. It can go up and down the stairs easily. D. It cant speak but can understand answers.60. The purpose of this passage is _.A. to show the rapid development of technology B. to introduce a new productC. to tell people how to use the robot D. to solve the ageing problems61. What can we infer from the passage? _A. The robot can dial proper numbers for help.B. The nuclear families have left many elderly Japanese anxious.C. The robot is likely to have a promising market.D. The robot has given the Japanese a chance to live longer.62What is the best title of this passage ? _A. The Latest Development of Robot Technology B. Vast Market of the New RobotC. Japanese-built Robot to Help the Old D.
