17．Robots have been an important part of science fiction since the beginning of cinema itself．The following films are the best in terms of their description of robots：
The Terminator （produced by MGM）
The granddaddy of bad robots，The Terminator is a vicious killing machine that will do whatever it takes to kill his target，Sarah Connor，including murdering other people that just happen to share her name．And although the sequels（续集）have featured some pretty impressive robots，especially T-1000in Terminator2：Judgment Day，it's the director James Cameron's original creation that remains a real classic．
Star Wars：A New Hope （produced by Lucasfilm）
The entire Star Wars series is full of robots and cyborgs（半机械人）and various other artificial life forms，but it was 1977's Star Wars A New Hope that first introduced the world a pair of lovable robots named C-3PO and R2-D2．The pair's unusual friendship plays an important role in the movie series，which confirms their place as perhaps the most famous non-living characters in cinematic history．
WALL-E （produced by Pixar）
It's hard to believe that WALL-E doesn't speak a word of language throughout the movie，as the character eventually becomes a caring and emotional figure．WALL-E's pursuit （追求） of a fellow robot is romantic and interesting．And it's impossible not to feel a burst of emotion when the pair finally do get together at the end of the movie．
I，Robot（produced by 20^th Century Fox）
Based on the famous short story collection by Issac Asimov，I，Robot happens in a world that's overrun by robots，as the artificial life forms perform a variety of daily life tasks and jobs．At the center of the storyline is Sonny，a robot who possesses a desire to overcome his rigid programming and become more than just a machine．

9．Which of the movies can be classified as a romance film？D
A．The Terminator．   B．Star Wars：A New Hope．
C．I，Robot．           D．WALL-E．
10．Who may be the most famous robot in cinematic history according to the text？A
A．C-3PO．        B．EVE．
C．T-1000．        D．Sonny．
11．Issac Asimov's collection was filmed byB．
A．MGM          B.20^th Century Fox
C．Pixar         D．Lucasfilm
12．What do the four movies have in common？C

B．They are all adapted from novels．
C．The robots in them have emotions．
D．They all have sequels．

16．Scientists in Israel have discovered a new way to test for water pollution by"listening"to what the plants growing in water have to say．
By shining a laser beam （激光束） on the tiny pieces of algae floating in the water，the researchers said they hear sound waves that tell them the type and amount of contamination （致污物） in the water．
"It is a red light，telling us that something is beginning to go wrong with the quality of water，"said Zvy Dubinsky，an aquatic biologist （水生生物学家） at Israel's Bar Ilan University．"Algae is the first thing to be affected by a change in water quality．""The secret，"he said，"is to measure the rate of photosynthesis （光合作用） in the algae，meaning the plant's ability to transform light into energy．"During photosynthesis，plants also release oxygen into the air．
Dubinsky's technique is easy to perform because of the over-abundance （过于丰富） of algae in the planet's water．Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from algae．A prototype tester （样本测试机）that occupies about one square meter of a laboratory desktop，shoots a laser beam at water samples to stimulate （刺激） photosynthesis in the algae．But not all of the laser's heat is used．Depending on the condition of the algae and the rate of photosynthesis，some of the heat is shot back into the water，creating sound waves，Dubinsky said．With a special underwater microphone，researchers are able to analyze the strength of the sound waves and determine the health of the algae and the condition of the surrounding water．
"Algae suffering from lead poisoning，like waste discharged from battery and paint manufacturing plants，will produce a different sound than those suffering from lack of iron or exposure to other toxins，"said researcher Yulia Pinchasov．She said that testing algae photosynthesis can determine water quality more accurately and easily than labor-intensive methods now used like chemical and radioactive carbon testing．

5．The underlined word"algae"in Paragraph 2probably refers to a kind ofA．
A．plant B．instrument
C．wood D．pollutant
6．Why is the algae tested？B
A．Because it floats on the water．
B．Because it is the first to be polluted．
C．Because it can have photosynthesis．
D．Because it can produce different sounds．
7．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．algae can produce a loud sound when polluted
B．algae can die easily from pollution
C．photosynthesis of the algae is related to water quality
D．photosynthesis of the algae can only be caused by sunlight
8．What would be the best title for the passage？D
A．The Problem of Chemical and Radioactive Carbon Testing
B．A Prototype Tester Is Used to Determine Water Pollution
C．The Importance of Photosynthesis of the Algae
D．Scientists Listen to Plants to Find Water Pollution．

15．It's thrilling to imagine how future humans will have solved the problems we have now，or what amazing new inventions will make our lives more convenient and interesting．We asked top scientists to share their predictions on what the world will be like in a century．If they're right，the year 2114is going to be really cool．
*Robots will do your chores and more
Robots will be doing most of our jobs，from building homes to teaching math．There are already robots that clean floors and pump gas．In the future they will be more complicated and useful．Unfortunately，with robots taking all the jobs，unemployment will be high．
*You will read minds．
Speaking of being social，we will communicate in an entirely different way．Forget texts and emails．Mind-reading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word．We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us．（Instead of pressing"start"on the microwave，you could just think"start．"） Meanwhile，chips implanted（植入）in our brains will improve memory and intelligence．
*Your car will drive you
Today，around 30，000Americans die in car accidents each year．One hundred years form now，accidents will be a thing of the past．According to Mark Safford，consultant or the U．S．Department of Transportation，future cars will drive themselves．These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds．
*You will eat fake meat．
Raising animals is not an efficient way to produce food，and it harms the environment：Cows，chickens，and pigs eat a lot，and then we have to deal with all that poop（粪便）．What's more，that poop can end up poisoning lakes，rivers，and streams．Today，scientists can"grow"meat in a lab from animal cells，but it's expensive and not very delicious．In the future，they will have perfected the process．You'll order hamburgers that come from factories，not cows．Scientists may even find ways to make lab-grown meat tastier and healthier than the real thing．

1．According to the passage，what is likely to happen when robots become more common in the future？D
A．People will be much lazier．

A．people will be busy operating robots in the future
B．there will be more car accidents one hundred years from now
C．people will be able to convey messages silently by using mind-reading technology in the future
D．the meat we eat in the future will be more tasty
3．According to the passage，in the future cars will beB．
A．less popular B．much easier to operate
C．more expensive D．much smaller and lighter
4．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．The predictable future life．
B．The latest scientific findings．
C．The development of science．
D．The history of human life．

14．How to Graduate from College with a High GPA（Grade Point Average）
One Hour a Day
One of the most challenging things about college is time management．It's not that you don't have enough．In fact you usually have too much time，and as a result time gets wasted．If you take good notes in class，and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep，you will make use of the power of the subconscious（下意识）to absorb information and by the time exams come around you'll know all the material on a subconscious level，and you don't have to sit up the night before exams．
Select Easy Courses
The reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA．Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult．Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework become more challenging．
Join （or Form） Study Groups
If you go to a large public school where classes often have 700plus people，study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades．Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A's in that particular course．They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests，practice problems，and many others that might not be provided by professors．
Use Personal Development
I can honestly say I didn't involve myself in personal development when I was in college．Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image．But，if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above，my college career would have turned out very differently．
If you have already started school，I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule．If you haven't started school yet，do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available．If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above，you'll set yourself up for a very successful first term，and hopefully a very successful college career．

12．According to the passage，managing your wisely leads toC．
A．sitting up late before exams
B．spending less time each day
C．mastering what you learn in an easy way
D．benefiting from the notes
13．Group study is meant to let the studentsA．
A．study effectively
B．get along well with one another
C．practice solving problems
D．study independently
14．The winter attached least importance toD when he was at college．
A．reviewing his lessons one hour a day
B．selecting easier courses to learn
C．involving a study group led by senior students
D．applying personal development techniques
15．From the passage we can infer thatD．
A．every college student is to get a high GPA when graduated
B．personal development is that most important techniques of the 4steps
C．the earlier you choose easy courses，the better performance you'll have
D．the fist school year's success plays an important role in your college career．

13．People who are worried about bad breath often reach for a toothbrush or a gun．But in the future，personal breath monitoring may include far more than fresh breath．
In face，breath is so rich in chemical compounds that fully understanding it has proved challenging．Each breath contains gases like carbon dioxide，the volatile（挥发性的）remains of recent snacks，medicines and even compounds taken in from things like carpeting or various kinds of air pollution．But breath detectors（检测器） can sort out these substances with increasing sensitivity（敏感性）．
Scientists are building electronic sniffers that examine the exhaled（呼气）air for signs of cancer，asthma（哮喘），and other diseases．
"There are clear signatures in the breath for liver（肝）disease，kidney（肾）disease and heart disease．Breath is a rich mixture that can reflect out state of health and disease．"said Dr．Raed Dweik，director of the Cleveland Clinic，adding"Breath analysis is the future of medical testing．"
He and his partners are testing a desktop system called BreathLink for use in rapid identification of diseases．The system is designed to work wherever there is an Internet connection．To use BreathLink，a person breathes into a long tube，and a breath sample is collected and analyzed within the system．Then it can detail chemical concentrations（浓度）of the breath in graphics．Dr．Raed Dweik said，"If you examine patients of asthma，you will find they have higher levels of nitric oxide（一氧化碳） in their exhaled air．It reflects their abnormal symptoms in the lungs．"His tests have reached 85percent accuracy（精确度）so far in spotting people with some illness．
But some trained dogs，he pointed out，can sniff out cancer with 99percent accuracy-although without the ability to identify particular compounds the way some detectors can．
"We are getting better and better，"he said．"But whether we will ever approach the accuracy of the dog-we don't know．"

8．What is the breath detector used for？B
A．To find what kind of disease a person has．
B．To identify substances from people's breath．
C．To help a patient recover from disease．
D．To smell how bad the breath is．
9．In the fifth paragraph，what Dr．Raed Dwik said is meant toD．
A．show how he and his partners treated patients
B．tell why a person has asthma
C．show how sensitive the device is
D．show how to diagnose a patient of asthma
10．It can be inferred thatD
A．brushing teeth can improve one's bad breath
B．there are leftovers like snacks and medicines in one's breath
C．one can know exactly about his physical state through the breath
D．breath analysis can be helpful in medical diagnosis
11．What's the author's attitude towards the future of breath detectors？B
A．Indifferent      B．Positive
C．Doubtful．       D．Critical．
