24、，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。ARobots that can chat, find misplaced glasses, draw airplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society. Robots, such as the sound-sensitive Chapit, answer simple questions and even jok

25、e with people to help the solitary fight loneliness and stay alert (机警的) in old age. “Many old people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to,” said Kazuya Kitamura, a representative of the expo organizer. “Communication robots stay together with old people and dont mind listening to the same

26、 stories over and over again.” While Chapit, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a partner, many researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects. Matsumotos “Personal Mobility Robot”, equipped with fou

27、r cameras and a sensor to recognize the users centre of gravity, is designed to help the elderly move around without pressing buttons as in traditional wheelchairs. The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by recognizing them with a sensor. “We have developed a robot that can assist many peopl

28、e, but because of the high cost, we still havent found a sponsor,” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if produced in large quantities, would be comparable to that of a small car. “In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest (投资) in such a costly

29、 project,” he said. Other robots, such as the award-winning “DiGRO”, can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children. The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures, looking after children while parents work. Japan is one of the worlds fastest-

30、aging countries and the government predicts that by 2050 the population of people over 65 will reach 40 percent.56. What can Chapit do according to the text? A. It can find misplaced objects for the elderly.B. It can help the elderly to move around freely.C. It can communicate with people.D. It can

31、tell the same story over and over again.57. What is the problem with Matsumotos “Personal Mobility Robot”?A. It is too expensive.B. It is not practical.C. It is just like traditional wheelchairs.D. It is not quite convenient for the elderly to use.58. “DiGRO” is designed to .A. keep children busyB.

32、create simple imagesC. keep children company D. help children learn how to draw59. What does the underlined word “solitary” in the second paragraph mean? A. Poor.B. Lonely. C. Unemployed. D. Disabled.B Guide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for

33、 the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16. The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because o

34、f their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental proj

35、ect to test the use of guide dogs with younger people. Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have

36、 a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer. However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for national standards to be introduced. As with a

37、dult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services. 60. We can learn from the text that owning guide dogs .A. may meet with difficulties sometimes B. is benefici

38、al to blind childrens development C. became possible in the UK recently D. is quite universal in the UK61. According to the text, Charlottes example proves that . A. it is necessary to carry out the experimental projectB. guide dogs can get along well with disabled people C. the associations opinion

40、for the blind to have guide dogs is to be removed.C. More guide dogs will be trained in the UK.D. The project of using guide dogs is to begin.C Across the United States, universities and colleges have been looking to become more sustainable (可持续发展的) and more than 600 schools have already planned to

41、become eco-friendly. The EcoDorm, home to 36 students at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, was designed to be sustainable from top to bottom, or in this case, from its rainwater-collection system to its garden. The dormitory is bringing new meaning to the concept of living “green” at college. At W

42、arren Wilson College, a biological science school with fewer than 1,000 students, the sustainability drive came from the student body. The EcoDorm concept was presented ten years ago by two students; a planning committee firstly suggested using building materials like corncob. Although the architect

43、s disagreed with the idea, they came up with other creative solutions: Wood siding was taken from the trees grown in the school yard that were suffering from a disease, and rainwater was collected in an old railway car and pumped back into the house to clean the toilets. All in all, the dorm uses ne

44、arly two-thirds less electricity than a similar-sized traditional building would. But even the most sustainable homes need continued efforts from its livers. And in the case of EcoDorm, students live by their words. Most also take advantage of the dorms bio-garden, planting and harvesting fruits and

45、 vegetables. “I didnt have to worry about paper towels being wasted or feel bad about drying my clothes outside,” Jeremy Lekich, the dorms gardener, said. “Basically, it has made my life easier.” 64. We can learn from the text that the EcoDorm in the US . A. offers students the chances to have a nat

46、ural living at collegeB. was firstly built by two college students C. was designed for saving building materials D. is only applicable in few schools65. The second paragraph is mainly about .A. where the EcoDorm was built B. when the EcoDorm got its nameC. what the EcoDorm is made of D. how the conc

D. It brings new energy to the college. 67. What can be inferred from the text?A. A long-term developme

48、nt calls for students efforts.B. Students ideas should be encouraged at college.C. Green living is a new trend at American colleges. D. Students can learn to protect the environment through practice.DNottingham Goose (鹅) Fair started on the first Thursday in October and lasted 3 days. However, nowad

49、ays you wont find any geese there. The fair opened at 12:00 on the Thursday by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, but it has an interesting and shocking history.For starters, it wasnt always the largest fair in the area. And the main fair for the people of Nottingham in terms of trade and economy was the

50、 Lenton Fair held at Lenton Priory. In the Middle Ages the Lenton Fair overshadowed (使显得逊色) the Goose Fair in size and importance. Harrisons Calendar of Fairs for 1587 mentions the Lenton Fair but not the Goose Fair. However, the Goose Fair competed with its local competitors and every year over 20,

51、000 geese from the Fens in Lincolnshire arrived to be sold to provide the traditional Michaelmas dish. It wasnt just for geese either. All kinds of things were sold at the Goose Fair: sheep, horses and cattle were also sold. The fair has been under threat of closure many times over the years. In 176

52、4 they actually had cheese riots (暴乱) due to an increase of a third on the price of cheese compared with the previous year, which resulted in an attack on the stallholders (摊主) at the fair. By 1880 the fair was reduced to a three-day event, which started on the first Thursday of October. In 1928 the

53、 fair was moved from the market square to its present site in the forest which is far away from the city centre. Despite attempts throughout its history to prevent the fair, the income from rents paid by the stallholders is financially beneficial to the local government. So regardless of the cheese

54、riots and the various attempts to prohibit it, Nottingham Goose Fair has survived to celebrate over eight centuries of fun. 68 The cheese riots in 1764 were mentioned to show .A. the Goose Fair met strong competition from its competitors B. stallholders usually benefited most from the Goose Fair C.

55、the Goose Fair gradually lost popularity with time going by D. violence and troubles used to put the Goose Fair in danger69 The Goose Fair has lasted till today mainly because . A. it is full of fun and enjoyed by most people B. it brings great benefits to the local economy C. it has strong support from the mayor of Nottingham D. it is representative of the traditions of Nottingham70. We can learn from the text that . A. the Goose Fair didnt become famous until 1587B. the Goose Fair used to last longer than it does t
