He talks to you and plays with you. He can even think for himself and figure out what you need.It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time. But come to think of it, can you really trust him? Ever since the first robot was created decades ago, scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans. However, as they have gotten closer to that goal, doubts have grown. According to the BBC, Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become, the more humans feel a connection to them. But once they become too similar to humans, people begin to feel uncomfortable.This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month. Roboy, as the new machine is called, has various human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding, but instead of a skin-like covering, Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor (盔甲) that clearly shows its robot status.“As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine, even if they project their feelings into it, then they feel comfortable,” Rolf Pfeifer, the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, told the BBC.But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look. It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives.A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88 percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are “necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people”, such as space exploration and war fighting. But when it comes to taking care of children, 60 percent said that robots should not be allowed to participate, because as robots become more advanced and complicated, parents may tend to hand over too much responsibility to them.No matter what, robots will soon enter our homes, Pfeifer said. What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or companions who live with us.36. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce the newly-invented robot, Roboy.B. To discuss problems related to designing robots.C. To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives.D. To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more.37. Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot?A. To better protect it.B. To make it look cool and modern.C. To make it clearly different from a human.D. To keep its price down.38. According to the paragraph before the last one, most of the people interviewed _.A. welcome robots into their homesB. believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasksC. think families with children shouldnt use robots for houseworkD. are afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take care of them39. Which best describes the authors tone in the article?A. Objective(客观的).B. Critical(批评的).C. Admiring.D. Anxious.40. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The brand new robot in Switzerland can do everything human beings can.B. Scientists have long been dreaming of creating human-like robots.C. Robots in the future will serve as human beings good friends.D. People wont be comfortable with robots like a machine in the house.BAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home.41. In which part of a newspaper can this article be found?A. Culture. B. News. C. Story. D. Travel.42. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.43. The underlined words “flower”(in Line 5) probably means _.A. weakenB. develop C. stretch D. disappear44. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visitan American friend, we will probably be_.A. treated hospitably at his homeB. offered a ride to his homeC. warmly welcomed at the airportD. treated to dinner in a restaurant45. The writer mainly talks about _ in the text.A. friendships between ChineseB. Americans hospitalityC. different views of friendshipD. friendships between AmericansCThe dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the stones. He thought back more than twenty years to when he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy.The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory traveled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because of debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him.When his prison time was up, he found a job, but couldnt settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with:I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me . so its up to you. Ill come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If its there, Ill come in; if not, Ill wave good-bye and go.And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked.His parents were taking no risks. _The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door.46. Why did the man shrug impatiently (paragraph 2) while he was thinking of his childhood?A. The thoughts made him angry.B. He felt he had wasted time.C. He was anxious to go home.D. The sweet memory caused him much pain.47. Why did it take him hours to write the letter?A. He doubted if his parents still lived in that house.B. He had much news to tell his parents.C. He felt ashamed to ask for forgiveness.D. He was longing to return home and felt excited.48. In what order did the following events take place?a. He took the money from his parents.b.

Heres a handy checklist to help you.LocationThe first thing you have to decide is where you want to go. Of course a lot will depend on your time and budget. Do you want to relax on a beach, visit some famous landmarks, or hike through some beautiful scenery? All these things are available in China, but if your budget stretches, why not look at somewhere else in Asia, or even farther.PackingThere can be such a thing as being over prepared when traveling, but you dont want to forget something important. It can be a good idea to wear pants with zipped pockets. In certain countries local thieves will target unsuspecting tourists for their money. It can also be worth packing some basic medical supplies. If you are going to be moving around a lot, buy a good backpack. Finally, remember to pack clothes that are going to be suitable for the weather.AccommodationThere are several things to consider when picking where you want to stay. Location is often the most important. When staying in hotels, it is often a good idea to book your first night in a new city. After all, you will not be familiar with the surroundings and will want somewhere to leave your luggage. However, dont spend more than a couple of days at the same hotel. When you get to a new place, you might soon discover theres somewhere better to stay.Dont forgetThe key to a good holiday is detail. When youre traveling, especially in a foreign country, dont forget to change some money before you leave. If youre traveling somewhere tropical, you might need some injections or pills to avoid disease. And its always worth taking out travel insurance, just in case you find yourself in a spot of bother during the trip. Dont forget to check the exchange rates. The strong yuan has made traveling abroad cheaper recently. It can also be a good idea to write down the phone number of the closest Chinese embassy, in case you need help while abroad.51.
