9.[1]I was walking in the park with a friend recently,and his cell phone rang,interrupting our conversation.There we were,walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day.But I became in visible,absent from the conversation.
[2]The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Recently I was in a car with three friends.The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone.There we were,four friends going down the highway,unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier.
[3]Why is it that the more connected we get,____________?Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction (互动).With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet,we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail,you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.
[4]More and more.l find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation.Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
[5]So I've put myself on technology restriction:no instant messaging with people who live near me,no cell-phoning in the presence of friends,no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm home.

76.What does the author say about communications technology according to the first two paragraphs?(within 15words)
The cell phone gets in the way of face?to?face communication
77.Which sentences in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
However,I felt left out as if we were not conducting the conversation.
But I became invisible,absent from the conversation.
78.Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 3with proper words.(within 10words)
the more disconnected I feel/the lonelier we feel/the farther away we seem to be/the more left out we feel
79.Does the author restrict his own activity to improving the situation?(within 15words)
Yes.For example,he doesn't contact people living near him with instant messaging./
80.Translate the underlined sentences in Paragraph 4into Chinese.
我发现自己越来越频繁地借用电子邮件回避面对面交谈.

分析 本文主要论述现代技术的消极影响--现代技术的使用在疏远人与人之间的距离.

解答 76.The cell phone gets in the way of face?to?face communication./Communications technology is interfering with human contact./It does harm to the closeness of human interaction./It is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction.细节题.通过这两段的描述可知,现代化的通信工具让我们彼此越来越疏远.
77.But I became invisible,absent from the conversation.所给句子的意思是:我感觉好像我被丢弃一样,我们似乎不是在对话一样.
78.the more disconnected I feel/the lonelier we feel/the farther away we seem to be/the more left out we feel细节题.根据后句Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction 可知,现代化通信工具使我们越紧密联系,越感觉孤独.
79.Yes.For example,he doesn't contact people living near him with instant messaging./Yes.For example,he doesn't use his cell?phone in the presence of friends./Yes.He doesn't let the voice mail pick up when he is at home.细节题.最后一段no instant messaging with people who live near me,no cell-phoning in the presence of friends,no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm home.告诉我们作者做了一些尝试来改变自己.
80.我发现自己越来越频繁地借用电子邮件回避面对面交谈./越来越多地,我发现本应该用对话交流来解决的事情,自己却用不用露面的电子邮件来做./本该通过对话交流来解决的事情,我却发现自己越来越多地通过不用当面交谈的电子邮件来做.在翻译时注意短语more and more意思是越来越多,find oneself doing 发现某人正在做某事.

2.During my third year of university,I was searching for a place to live.One Sunday after church,the pastor told me to stay in his daughter's room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.

17.Rock climbing requires not only physical strength,but also complete mental concentration.So it is not an easy sport.But this may not be true for 20-year-old Sasha diGuilian.This fearless girl who has been dominating the sport ever since she entered this field is just getting warmed up.
The youngster who is also studying for a creative writing degree at Columbia University says that she began climbing even before she could walk.As a baby,she constantly escaped from her bed and led her friends to the nearest rocks or hills.Then at the age of seven she attended brother's birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and found her gift for it.
Soon after,she joined the local center in her hometown of Alexandria,Virginia and began climbing-first once a week,then twice and soon,almost every day.At the age of nine,she won her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn't even been aware of,until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine.Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began training seriously,but this time outside the gym-climbing real mountains.
As a youngster,she dominated the Junior Continental Championships from 2004to 2010.Then she went on to catch the Pan American Championship and the US National Championship as soon as she was old enough.And in 2011,at just 18years old,she was crowned(加冕)Female Overall World Champion in Arco,Italy at her first attempt.
Sasha diGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14d graded climb in which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical.The 5.14d graded climb is regarded as the most difficult climb and it is something that even the most experienced climbers are a little afraid to take on,because a small slip could result in a severe injury or even death.

71.What does the underlined word"dominating"(Paragraph 1)mean?(1word)Controlling\Ruling\
72.Where and when did Sasha diGuilian find she had the talent for rock climbing?(No more than 12words)At a local rock climbing gym at the age of seven
73.What made Sasha diGuilian begin training seriously to climb real mountains?(No more than 10words)Her competitive nature and love for rock climbing
74.Why is the 5.14d graded climb considered the most difficult climb?(No more than 7words)Because it involves climbing vertical rocks
75.Please explain how you are inspired by Sasha diGuilian.(No more than25words)I am inspired by her spirits of bravery and determination.
4.Some people are just sure to be failures.That's how some adults look at troublesome kids.Maybe you've heard the saying,"A bird with a broken wing will(50)Cfly as high."I'm sure that T.J.Ware,who was caught(51)Ba year ago,was made to feel this way almost every day at school.
At high school,Ware was always making(52)D.He didn't answer questions,got into lots of fights and was(53)Afrom school at times.Teachers didn't want to have him again the following year.
I met Ware for the first time at a meeting.All the students at school had been invited to(54)Cfor a program designed to have students become more active in their communities.The program (55)Bgroup discussion and voluntary work in their neighborhoods.
In the beginning,Ware just stood by,not ready to join the discussion groups.But slowly,the interactive games(56)Dhim in…At the end of the meeting,he joined the Homeless Project team.He knew much about(57)A,hunger and helplessness.The other students on the team had never seen Ware making such a long,moving speech.They were(58)Cwith his passionate concern and ideas,so they elected Ware to be chairman of the team with a(59)Bvote.
Two weeks later,Ware led a group of 70 students to collect(60)A.They collected a school(61)D:2,854 cans of food in just two hours.It was enough to feed needy families in the area for 75 days.The local newspaper(62)Bthe event with full-page article the next day.After that,Ware started showing up at school every day and answering questions from teachers.
Ware's change(63)Cus that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending.Once it has(64)D,it can fly higher than the rest.

14.As we all know,being successful is closely tied to what your attitude is.Today we are going to look at four common beliefs/attitudes held by many that may affect their being successful in many aspects of their lives.
1.Being Lucky
It is all too often people consider the good fortune of others as being the result of pure luck.What a copout!By having the mindset(思维定势) that luck is something that randomly falls out of the sky,many people put limits on themselves as to what they could have accomplished.
2.Associating Displeasure with Work or Study
Think about how you can perform well in an environment that is boring or unappealing to you.To most failures,I assume your failure is mainly because your heart is not into it and your attitude therefore does not allow you to be at your most productive.
3.      
A commonly accepted belief is:to be successful you MUST devote many hours along with many years.As a matter of fact,long hours and hard work doesn't necessarily mean success.After all,success depends on many factors.
4.Self Imposed Limitations
Many have grown to believe they can not achieve success due to a variety of reasons.In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can not succeed than efforts leading to success.
The only limitations we face in our lives are the ones we place upon ourselves. If you are not willing to remove some of these limitations and at least try,you would be content with what you have in life and never possess success.

76.What is the purpose of the writer?(Please answer within 30words.)
The purpose is to inform people of four common beliefs affecting their success and analyze why they are harmful.
77.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
Actually,many people would rather make an excuse for their failures than attempts for their success.
In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can't succeed than efforts leading to success.
78.Fill in the blank in the passage with proper words.(Please answer within 10words.)
Long hours and hard work equal success
79.As a senior school student,which of the beliefs above might affect your success,and how would you overcome it?(Please answer within 30words.)
The answers may vary.
80.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
如果你不愿摆脱部分局限性的看法且做出尝试,而是满足于现状,你永远不会拥有成功..
1.I was 14when Mr.Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Heart.Okla.The old farmer (36)Cabout a mile away and needed an assistant to help out grass.It was the first time I had been actually(37)Bfor work.
Mr.Ingram was(38)Dwith the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes.I even (39)Awhen a(40)Ccow was being born.
One day he found an old truck that was(41)Din the(42)A,sandy soil of the melon field.Was full of melons that someon had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.
Mr.Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be retrning soon,and he wanted me to(43)B the truck and lean(倚靠) against it.Soon a man from a nearby village,who had a terrible (44)Cfor fighting and stealing,(45)B with his two full-grown sons.They looked(46)B.
While (47)C Mr.Ingram said,"Well,I see you want to buy some(48)B."
There was a long silence(49)A the man answered,"Yeah,I guess so.What are you getting for them?"
"Three dollars each,"(50)Dsaid immediately."Well,I guess that would be (51)D enough if you help me getmy truck out of here,"the man bargained.
It(52)Aout to be our biggest sale of the summer,and an unpleasant,perhaps unfortunate incident had been (53)C.After they left,Mr.Ingram smiled and said to me,"Son,if you don't (54)B your enemies,you're going to run out of friends."Mr.Ingram died a few years later,but I have never forgotten hm or what he taught me(55)D my first job.

19.IMAGINE that your parents have bought you the most advanced robot.He looks like a real person.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 88percent 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,60percent 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.
61.What is the purpose of the text?B
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.
62.Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot?C
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.
63.According to the paragraph before the last one,most of the people interviewedB.
A.welcome robots into their homes
B.believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasks
C.think families with children shouldn't use robots for housework
D.are afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take care of them
64.Which best describes the author's tone in the article?A
A.Objective.B.Critical.C.Admiring.D.Anxious.
65.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?B
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 won't be comfortable with robots like a machine in the house.
