11．Although most hitchhikers （搭便车的人） are people，passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers．But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？
That is the answer Canadian professors，David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller，who study the relationship between humans and technology，are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．
HitchBOT is built with cheap household items．Thanks to a PC tablet，GPS tracker and camera，hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public，but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks．The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．
Not surprisingly，many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability．Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone．Actually，they are all wrong．The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax，Nova Scotia，to Victoria，British Columbia，a distance of 3，700miles．It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple．It not only reached its destination on August 21st，but also had some amazing adventures along the way．It visited national parks，went fishing，went camping，and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．
In addition to helping it get to its destination，its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape （披肩） to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．
24．Why is the hitchhiking robot built？B
A．To help passers-by reach their destinations．
B．To find out how people might react to it．
C．To see if it will give rides to strangers．
D．To entertain drivers on their way．
25．The hitchBOT can do all of the following exceptD．
A．talking with the driver    
B．dancing with people
C．sending its thoughts and pictures 
D．answering any question raised
26．How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？A
A．Nearly a month．    
B．Over one month．   
C．Two months．
D．One week．
27．What can we learn about the hitchBOT？C
A．It was ignored by an elderly couple．
B．It didn't meet with any danger along the way．
C．It experienced a long and amazing journey．
D．It will be put into the market quickly．
6．The Toyota Prius hybrids adapted by Google's engineers have covered 300，000 miles on the roads of California without a human at the wheel，but with only one accident by a human-controlled car．It's clear that driverless cars are much safer than human-controlled ones．40，000 people are killed every year in road accidents in the US，many of which are caused by human error．Besides，driverless vehicles could make better use of the road and reduce the size of car parks，too．
With technology，a machine can perform a complex task without human involvement This means our thought about what machines can and cannot do needs updating urgently．
However，ignore the beautiful words and think about what Google has done．This isn't just about care．Economists are increasingly puzzled by the fact that the rate of job-creation is much lower than expected and the length of time for which people are unemployed has rocketed to 40 weeks twice as long as that during any previous postwar recovery．Economic theory says that when companies begin to grow or become profitable again，they buy equipment and hire workers．But that isn't happening．Companies are still buying equipment，but they're not employing workers．
So where did the jobs go？Andrew McAfee explains his view in his new book Race Against the Machine．"Advances in self-driving car by Google represent the next wave of job-eliminating technology．Many skills （such as driving） may eventually become worthless，at least in the job market．"
And as for those thinking that driverless cars might appeal to most motorists，there is the uncomfortable fact that the car has peaked．We are driving less year on year．Traffic jams reduce the romance from driving．And young people no longer have the desire to own cars like they used to．
71．According to the first paragraph，driverless vehicles areD
A．faster                           B．lighter        
C．smaller                          D．safer
72．The underlined word"updating"in the second paragraph means"B"．
A．abandoning                       B．renewing           
C．starting                         D．returning
73．The third paragraph suggests thatA
A．technology doesn't ease the pressure on employment
B．companies gain profit by employing more workers
C．it takes people less time to find a job than before
D．people will see another economic recovery in future
74．What will be the influence of driverless cars according to Andrew McAfee？D
A．The economic recovery is to be sped up．
B．Many companies may make higher profits．
C．Traditional skills will be improved．
D．More people may lose their jobs．
75．The last paragraph tells us that the car industryA．
A．will be given up by young people
B．is lo blame for traffic jams
C．is reaching the highest point
D．will expand in all directions．
3．SINCE it's home to a famous university，a lot of people think Oxford，an English city west of London，is very wealthy．In fact，that's not quite the case．Many neighborhoods in and around Oxford are quite poor Children in these areas often don't have the best opportunities  in life．Some of them never even get to go 0n holiday．
    While a student at university，I ran a charity called Vacproj   （short for"Vacation Project"）that helped such children go on holiday．Over a year，we raised money  by writing letters to businesses and standing in the street with buckets（桶），We managed to pay for 36 children to go on a holiday．They were aged from about 6 to 11 years old．Altogether，this cost more than 25，000 pounds  （232，100yuan）．
These holidays took place every summer a part of England called Sussex．Around 20 students from my university volunteered to help．Every day，we went on a different trip：one day it was ice-skating，another time we went to the zoo．One day，went on a trip to a castle．We told them old legends（传说） of the ghosts who lived there and all the kings and queens who had passed through，All these trips required a lot of preparations．For example，on a climbing trip we had to teach the kids about safety and how to use  ropes．
    The holiday was by far the most tiring experience of my life．Every day，I had to wake up at 6 am，and  I didn't get to  bed until l am．The children never，ever ran out  of energy，and we were responsible for all of  them Some of the kids were very naughty； others refused to eat  certain kinds of  food．There were always problems to deal with．We had to be their parents for the week，and care for them as parents would．
Though the trip may have been very tiring，it was also the best I've ever been on．At every new tourist site，the kids eyes lit up with excitement．They were very funny，and weren't afraid of making fun of us． We left the holiday with a new perspectiveon life； children may be the most tiring people in the world，but they're also the most interesting．
46．According to the article，the purpose of Vacproj  is toB．

10．When Americans in the manufacturing sector （制造业） cried out，"The Chinese are coming，"some years ago，they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities．Now Americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on June 17-but this time，it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States．U．S．tourism officials have high expectations that well-off Chinese visitors，who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan，will give a big help to their industry．
"We're very excited，"said Helen N．Marano，Director of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries under the U．S．Department of Commerce．Before she talked to Beijing Review on June 17，Marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at Washington Dulles International Airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of Chinese tourists to visit the United States．
The first group consisted of 250 tourists，who left from Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong on June 17，the day when newly appointed Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and U．S．Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．Strategic Economic Dialogue （SED） in Annapolis，Maryland．Each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials．
Coincidence （巧合） could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day．As a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by Chinese President Hu Jintao and U．S．President George W．Bush in 2006，the first Chinese tourist group's arrival in the United States was widely reported by the Chinese media．
At the previous SED meeting last December，Chairman of the Chinese National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei and U．S．Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez signed an agreement between China and the United States to advance tourist group travel from China to the United States．Under this agreement，China agreed to give an"approved destination status"to the United States，allowing Chinese travel agencies to market tourism to American destinations and permitting U．S．destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public．
The agreement"is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years，"Paulson said．
But what people in the U．S．tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie．
"I'm getting calls already from people saying things like，‘How do we get to do this？'and‘How do we attract Chinese tourists to our area？'"Marano told Beijing Review．Marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen．

63．When，a few years ago，some Americans shouted"the Chinese are coming"，they

C．wanted to warn that the U．S．economy would suffer heavy losses
D．feared that large numbers of Chinese moving into the U．S．would make many Americans jobless
64．Helen N．Marano was excited becauseB．
A．large numbers of Chinese touring the U．S．would tip her and her colleagues
B．the Chinese touring in the U．S．would help improve its industry
C．the Chinese are usually well organized when travelling
D．Wang Qishan and Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．SED
65．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．Chinese tourist agencies could organize groups of Chinese to go to the U．S．without the agreement 
B．Marano and her colleagues waited at the airport to see how well organized the Chinese were

20．Every student can learn rope jumping．
You can jump alone or with your classmate．You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over，one at a time．If you jump alone，you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height．Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size．
A rope should be turned slowly．It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely．Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing．In rope jumping，timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking your feet．
When you jump rope，your heart beats faster and your face has a healthy color．But if you jump too many times at first，you will get fired．You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again，If you practice，you can increase the number of times without resting．
46．How many people can join in rope jumping？B

4．Dear Daughter，
As we drove off from Columbia，I wanted to write to tell you all that is on my mind．First，I want to tell you how proud we are．Getting into Columbia is a real testament （证明） of what a great well-rounded student you are．You should be as proud of yourself as we are．
Your college years will be the most important of your life．It is in college that you will discover what learning is about．This will be the period when you go from teacher taught to master inspired，after which you must become a self-learner．So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn is of no practical use in real life，the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever．
Follow your passion in college．Take courses you think you will enjoy，don't be bothered by what others think or say，but make up your own mind．Most importantly，make true friends and be happy．Don't worry about their hobbies，grades，looks，or even personalities．
Start planning early what you'd like to do．Where would you like to live？What would you like to learn？I think your plan to study fashion is good，and you should decide where you want to be，and get onto the right courses．I will always be there for you，but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat-this is your life，and you need to be in control．Being in control feels great．Try it，and you'll love it!
So please treasure your college years-make the best use of your free time，become an independent thinker in control of your destiny，and learn through your successes and challenges．
May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life，and may you grow into just what you dream to be．
Love

5．As an English teacher，I've been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world．I've seen people celebrate everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars．I've attended weddings，parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan，and I've noticed that gold---the metal or the colour of it---is always part of cultural events，traditions and celebrations．
It makes me wonder：Why do people love gold？
For some people，gold seems to be a status（地位）symbol．Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of 250，000．I'mnotsureI'dspendsomuchmoneyonashirt，wouldyou？ButDattaPhugehashisreason．Heexplains，"SomepeoplewanttoownanAudioraMercedes．Ichoosegold．"＜br/＞Forotherpeople，goldisaninvestment（投资）．ThepriceofgoldgenerallyincreasesovertimeandinEuropeanmarkets，itreachedeven1，500 per ounce in 2011．
And for many people，a family heirloom（传家宝）brings together status and investment．My mother has a gold bracelet（手镯）that was given to her by her grandmother who，in turn，inherited it from her own grandmother．It's quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money．But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars．It's a beautiful object that holds many family memories．When the time comes，my mum will give the bracelet to me，and one day，I'll pass it on to the younger generation．
Therefore，status and investment are good reasons to value gold．However，I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects．Think about Tutankhamen's death mask．Have you ever seen anything so beautiful？
People love gold because it holds their minds，their imaginations and，above all，their hearts．

A．it's worth a lot of money
