14．In the far future，robots live on the Earth as humans but the population of humans is less than a thousand．This is a story of a repair robot R62．One day，a car came to the repair factory and a human stepped out of the car．
"Wow，a human!I have never seen a real one，"said R62．
"Humans are quite clever．They're able to do any action they want to．They're even able to harm other human beings or organize wars，which they have been doing a lot in the history．Also they don't even have to follow orders if they don't want to．"said another robot T59quietly to R62．
"How terrible!And almost all robots seem afraid of him and don't look at him directly．"said R62．
The human then sat down and asked if there had been any problems in the last 10years and he only got a quick answer，："No，sir．"
Then suddenly，R62said loudly，"I have one question for you．"
The human said，"Yes"，a bit unhappy for not getting"Sir"．
"Why do humans create so many robots？"asked R62．
Silence followed the question and he then said，"I don't need to answer questions from robots!"He then went into his car and drove away quickly．
"I really don't understand why humans replaced themselves with robots．"said R62．
"Because they thought that robots were more advanced than humans．They created us to support themselves，"said T59．
"But there are so few humans on the Earth．What they should do is take away the robots or at least make them stop doing the work which humans are supposed to do．"said R62．
"I agree．But we can do nothing about it．And now we have to finish repairing this car．"said T59．
"All right，let's continue．"
29．According to the text，R62B．
A．dared not look at the human directly
B．was not friendly to the human
C．decided to give up its job
D．hoped to live on the Earth
30．What can we learn from the story？D
A．R62doesn't know what human beings look like．
B．R62and T59are brothers and do different jobs．
C．T59doesn't want to support human beings．
D．T59knows a lot about human beings．
31．What's R62's attitude towards humans'creating robots？C
A．Frightened．
B．Excited．
C．Doubtful．
D．Supportive．
分析 本文想象了未来机器人将代替人类生活在地球上，人类的人口数量将不足一千．本文通过人和机器人的对话引出了人类为什么要让机器人做人类应做的事的疑惑．
解答 29．B； 细节理解题．根据文中""How terrible!And almost all robots seem afraid of him and don't look at him directly．"said R62．"（多可怕啊！几乎所有的机器人都害怕他，不要直接看他．"R62说），可知R62对人类并不是很友善．故选B．
30．D；细节理解题．根据文中"Humans are quite clever．They're able to do any action they want to．They're even able to harm other human beings or organize wars，which they have been doing a lot in the history．Also they don't even have to follow orders if they don't want to．"said another robot T59 quietly to R62"（人类是非常聪明的．"他们可以做他们想做的任何行动．他们甚至能伤害其他人或组织战争，他们在历史上做了很多事．另外，他们甚至不需要服从命令，如果他们不想．"另一个机器人T59悄悄地对R62说），可以看出T59关于人类知道的很多．故选D．
31．C；态度意图题．根据文中""I really don't understand why humans replaced themselves with robots．"said R62．"（R62说："我真的不明白为什么人类会用机器人代替自己），可看出R62对人类制造机器人这件事是持怀疑态度的．故选C．
点评 本文考察学生的细节理解能力以及细心程度，只要抓住文章的关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节，就能找到正确答案．

More than 110 years ago，between March and September 1905，the mailbox of the German scientific journal Annals der Physik received a series of papers that would forever change the laws of physics．
The author was a young man aged 26，Albert Einstein who was working as a clerk at a （31）D office in Switzerland．His career as a physicist was （32）G after his doctoral thesis was turned down．Einstein had to satisfy his scientific passion only in his spare time．Within a few months，however，he wrote four groundbreaking papers．
The first paper described his particle theory of light．All physicists in 1905knew what light was．Whether from the sun or bulb，light was known to be a （33）H wave-just like sound．In the face of this （34）E held knowledge，Einstein proposed that light was not a wave．Instead，it was composed of"a number of energy quanta．"This concept that physical systems can behave both as waves （energy） and as particles （matter） would be the seed of one of the two pillars of modern physics：quantum mechanics．Sixteen years later，this theory took Einstein to the peak of science：the Nobel Prize for Physics．
The second paper did not revolutionize the principles of physics．Nor did it earn Einstein another Nobel Prize．However，while proving the （35）K of atoms and molecules in the paper，the great scientist opened a new field in the study of physics：statistical physics．
The next paper was perhaps the most groundbreaking．It presented Einstein's well-known theory of special relativity，（36）F with even common people nowadays．Einstein wrote in this paper that except for the constant speed of light，everything is （37）C，including time，distance and mass．
On November 21，Einstein's last paper that year was published/In the paper，the scientist （38）J the （39）I between energy and matter with the most famous equation in history：E=mc2．（E stands for energy，m mass，and c the speed of light）
Einstein's four papers that year have （40）B changed our conception of reality：of light，of matter，of time and of space．There is no wonder that scientists later call 1905Einstein's annus mirabilis-his year of mirales．
