8．Whether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years．Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way，said Cynthia Breazeal，chief scientist at the robot company Jibo．
While household robots today do the normal housework，social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools．For example，these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad．This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user．
The Jibo robot，arranged to ship later this year，is designed to be a personalized assistant．You can talk to the robot，ask it questions，and make requests for it to perform different tasks．The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions； it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household．It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos．
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home．They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces．
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market．The company's"Oshbot"robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store．It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for．
The more interaction the robot has with humans，the more it learns．But Oshbot，like other social robots，is not intended to replace workers，but to work alongside other employees．"We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us，but with us，"said Breazeal．

41．How are social robots different from household robots？B．
A．They can control their emotions．
B．They are more like humans．
C．They do the normal housework．
D．They respond to users more slowly．
42．What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3？D
A．Communicate with you and perform operations．
B．Answer your questions and make requests．
C．Take your family pictures and deliver milk．
D．Obey your orders and remind you to take pills．
43．What can Oshbot work as？C．
A．A language teacher．B．A tour guide．
C．A shop assistant．D．A private nurse．
44．We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots willB．
A．train employeesB．be our workmates
C．improve technologiesD．take the place of workers
45．What does the passage mainly present？D．
A．A new design idea of household robots．
B．Marketing strategies for social robots．
C．Information on household robots．
D．An introduction to social robots．

分析 这是一篇新闻报道类的文章．本文主要介绍了社会机器人的功能与作用以及在今后的几年里它们的发展趋势．首席科学家Cynthia Breazeal，说：社会机器人将会以更人性化的方式给我们每天的生活带来技术．与其说是工具，倒不如说他们更以伙伴的形式走进我们的家庭．比如，机器人能辨别主人的喜怒哀乐；能提醒年老的主人按时服药、拍照等．社会机器人不仅仅进入家庭，他们还以助手的形式陪伴水手出海．另外，他们还将出现在教育和健康领域里等．

7．London's newest skyscraper （摩天大楼） is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build．At a height of almost 310metres，it is the tallest building in Europe．The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London．However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better．
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano．When he began designing the Shard for London，Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire （尖顶）．He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city．The sides of the building aren't regular．So the building has an unusual shape．It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass．And that is how the building got the name：the Shard．Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition．The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts （桅杆） of the ships that were once on the river Thames．
The Shard has 87floors．At the top，there is an observatory．At the moment the building is empty，but eventually there will be a five-star hotel．There will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices．
Before building work began，a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved．Now they are still unhappy about the Shard．Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York，but not in London．They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape．But that is the only thing．There is no decoration，only flat surfaces．The Egyptians did that 4，500years ago．They also think the Shard is too big for London．It destroys the beauty of the city．
Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent．They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal．Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel．But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London．So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor．
The Shard now dominates the London skyline．It is not certain，however，that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city．

55．London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because ofC．
A．its cost
B．its size
C．its shape
D．its height
56．When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it toB．
A．change London's skyline
B．inherit London's tradition
C．imitate the Egyptian style
D．attract potential visitors
57．The critics who refer to social division think the ShardB．
A．is only preferred by the rich
B．is intended for wealthy people
C．is far away from the poor area
D．is popular only with Londoners
58．Which would be the best title for the passageD？
A．The Shard：Cheers and Claps
B．The Shard：Work of a Great Architect
C．The Shard：New Symbol of London？
D．The Shard：A Change for the Better？
3．I was never very neat，while my roommate Kate was extremely organized．Each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere．She even labeled （贴标签 ） everything．I always looked for everything．Over time，Kate got nearer and I got messier．She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk．We both got tired of each other．
War broke out one evening．Kate came into the room．Soon，I heard her screaming，"Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!"Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me．I jumped to my feet and started yelling．She yelled back louder．
The room was filled with anger．We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call．Kate answered it．From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill．When she hung up，she quickly crawled （爬 ） under her covers，sobbing．
Obviously，that was something she should not go through phone．All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart，
Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and  swept the floor，even  on her side．I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up．
She was watching，her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief．Then，she reached out her  hands to grasp mine．I looked up into her eyes．She smiled at me．"Thanks．"
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year．We didn't always agree，but we learned  the key to living together：giving in．cleaning up and holding on．

13．A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry．
Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago．I wanted to save up money and buy my own car，so I applied everywhere I could that summer．The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself，this is going to be easy．Within four hours of my first shift （轮班），I had angry customers who complained how slow I was．I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere，and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear"Mike，there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you might want gloves for this one．"I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic．The manager expected a clean environment and particularly，fast service with a friendly smile．
Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations．I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am．Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees．They chat with us workers and joke around．Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does．
From my first job at the restaurant，I learned teamwork and devotion．I also learned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get．I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life．

3．Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying．But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper，has made a northern German city believe in fairytales （童话）．
       The first envelope was sent to a victim support group．It contained?10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag； similar plain white anonymous （匿名）envelopes，each containing?10，000，then arrived at a kindergarten and a church．
       The envelopes keep coming，and so far at least?190，000 has been distributed．Last month，one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office．It came after a story it published about Tom，a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident．The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of?500 inside with a copy of the article．The name of the family was underlined．
"I was driving when I heard the news，"Claudia Neumann，the boy's mother，told Der Spiegel magazine．"I had to park on the side of the road； I was speechless．"
       The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for．
"For someone to act so selflessly，for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself，was astonishing，"Mrs．Neumann said．Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character，taking from banks to give to the needy．
       Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung，said："Maybe it is an old person who is about to die．We just do not know．"However，he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero，for fear that discovery may stop the donations．

Good afternoon，everyone．
Welcome to our school!High school students are faced with a choice between art and science．It was not an easy choice for me to make．After careful consideration，though，I decided on science as my main subject of study．
First，science graduates are in greater demand than arts ones in China．Second，the science major can help me achieve my childhood's dream of becoming a scientist．Third，my parents wish me to study science at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as a science student．Last but not least，my physics teacher is my role model whose influence on me had a lot to do with my decision．
It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice．
Thinks!
