4．Robots that can chat，find misplaced glasses，draw aeroplanes 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 joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age．
Japan has one of the world's fastest-ageing societies and the government predicts that by 2050the proportion of people over 65will reach40percent．"Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to，"said Kazuya Kitamura representative of the expo organizer．"Communication robots accompany people and don't mind listening to the same stories over and over again．"
Matsumoto's"Personal Mobility Robot，"equipped with four cameras and a sensor to  recognize the user's centre of gravity，is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons，using joysticks（操纵杆）or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs．
The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor．
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，keeping children company while parents work．
While Chapit，a relatively simple robot，managed to attract a corporate partner many researchers，such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto，a professor at the University of Tokyo，struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects．
"We have developed a robot that can assist many people，but we still haven't found a sponsor，"said Matsumoto，who added that the cost of the machine，if mass-produced，would be comparableto that of a car．"In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project，"he said．

A．Being caughtB．CaughtC．CatchingD．Catch
15．The story began on a downtown Brooklyn street corner．An elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street，and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital．There，when he came to now and again，the man repeatedly called for his son．
From a worn letter located in his pocket，an emergency room nurse learned that his son was a marine stationed in North Carolina．Apparently there were no other relatives．
Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn，and a request for the boy to rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp．Because time was short---the patient was dying---the Red Cross man and an officer set out in an army vehicle．They found the young man walking through some marshes （沼泽） in a military exercise．He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the only plane that might enable him to reach his dying father．
It was dusk when the young marine walked into the entrance lobby of Kings County Hospital．A nurse took the tired，anxious serviceman to the bedside．
"Your son is here，"she said to the old man．She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened．The medicine he had been given for the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and he could only see the shadow of the young man in Marine Corps uniform standing outside the oxygen tent．He reached out his hand．The marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's weak ones，squeezing a message of love and encouragement．The nurse brought a chair，so the marine could sit by the bed．
Nights are long in hospitals，but all through the night the young marine sat there in the dimly lit ward （病房），holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength．Occasionally，the nurse urged the marine to rest for a while．He refused．
Whenever the nurse came into the ward，the marine was there，but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital---the banging of an oxygen tank，the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings，the cries and breathing of other patients．Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words．The dying man said nothing，only held tightly to his son through most of the night．
It was nearly dawn when the patient died．The marine placed the lifeless hand he had been holding on the bed，and went to inform the nurse．While she did what she had to do，he smoked a cigarette，his first since he got to the hospital．
Finally，she returned to the nurse's station，where he was waiting．She started to offer words of sympathy，but the marine interrupted her．"Who was that man？"he asked．
"He was your father，"she answered，shocked．
"No，he wasn't，"the marine replied．"I never saw him before in my life．"
"Why didn't you say something when I took you to him？"the nurse asked．
"I knew immediately there'd been a mistake，but I also knew he needed his son，and his son just wasn't here．When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son，I guessed he really needed me．So I stayed．"
With that，the marine turned and left the hospital．Two days later a message came in from the North Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brooklyn Red Cross that the real son was on his way to Brooklyn for his father's funeral．It turned out there had been two marines with the same name and similar numbers in the camp．Someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record．
But the wrong marine had become the right son at the right time．And he proved，in a very human way，that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men．

10．WAS the London Olympics a success？Many people hold different opinions．However one thing is certain，London could win a gold medal for hosting the"greenest"Games ever，BBC News reported．
Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through construction，waste．and transport．But things had to be different in London because seven years ago it bid for the Olympics through the concept of"a One Planet Olympics"．
What is most impressive is that London used the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas-2 million tons of contaminated （被污染的） soil were removed and 200 old factory buildings，were torn down，according to sustainablebusiness．com．But that's not all-.99 percent of the debris （废瓦砾） were reused to build the Olympic Park．For example，part of the Olympic Stadium's roof is made from 2，500 tons of steel tubes recycled from old gas pipelines．
As well as using recycled materials，all venues were built with green building techniques．The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built，which minimized the amount of steel and concrete needed．Also，the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electricity use by 40 percent，according to sustainablebusiness．com．
The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise．Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater．In this way．about 30-40 percent less water was used in total．Waste food packages were either recycled or processed and turned into renewable energy．
As one of the best connected places in Europe，London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport．For example，it had trains deliver half of the building materials，instead of cars，which greatly reduced carbon emissions．
The clean anti-doping （反兴奋剂） result also added to the greenness of the Games．The International Olympics Committee （IOC） said that the devices used this time were the most accurate and advanced．Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing，which is why the IOC President，Jacques Rogge，has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games．

51．To make the Olympic Park green，LondonD．
A．recycled 2 million tons of contaminated soil
B．removed 99 percent of the debris from the city
C．built the Olympic Stadium mostly with recycled materials
D．applied green building techniques to the construction work
52．The underlined word"minimized"in the fourth paragraph probably meansB
A．increased as much as possible
B．reduced as much as possible
C．made good use of
D．took little notice
53．What can we conclude from the article？C
A．The London Olympics cost less than the other Olympics ever held．
B．London has possessed the most advanced techniques to deal with waste．
C．Public transport is made good use of in London durIng the Olympic games．
D．The anti-doping result in the London Olympics turned out to be dissatisfactory．
54．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text？B

55．What is the best title of the passage？C
A．How to deal with the anti-doping
B．How to use recycled materials
C．London's green games
D．London's public transport．
