【题目】When Noah Ready-Campbell was a young adult, he worked for his father’s construction company. Back then, he dreamed of a day when robots might take over the dirty, repetitive(重复的)parts of his job, such as earth moving. Years later, Ready-Campbell left his job as an engineer with Google to make that dream come true.

Ready-Campbell formed a company called Built Robotics, which develops technology to produce self-driving heavy equipment. Ready-Campbell says the company’s goal is to make construction safer, faster and less costly. The construction industry struggles to find skilled workers and faces a growing number of unfinished projects. But self-operating machines are changing the nature of building.

Workers at Berich Masonry in Englewood, Colorado, recently spent several weeks learning how to operate a robot called SAM, or the Semi-Automated Mason. SAM is a $400,000 machine from the company Construction Robotics, It can lay 3,000 bricks in eight hours. That’s several times more than a human bricklayer can do in the same period. But humans are still needed to load bricks into the SAM and make sure it works right. Bricklayer Michael Walsh says the SAM lessens the load on his body. But he doesn’t think it will take his job.

Brian Kennedy agrees, too. His organization supports the rights of construction workers in the United States and Canada. Kennedy says the union is not worried that machines will replace human workers any time soon.

The rise of construction robots comes as the building industry faces a severe decrease in labor supply. One recent study showed that 70 percent of construction businesses have a difficult time finding skilled workers. Mike Moy heads a mining operation for the building materials supplier Lehigh Hanson. He says it’s difficult to find people who even know how to operate some of the necessary equipment. “Nobody wants to get their hands dirty any more. They want a nice, clean job in an office,” he noted.

1What does the first paragraph say about Noah Ready-Campbell?

A. He enjoys doing repetitive work.

B. He is now an employee of Google.

C. He used to work in construction field.

D. He joined Google to realize that dream.

2Which of the following is one of the aims of Built Robotics?

A. Increasing construction speed.

B. Enlarging construction quantity.

C. Improving construction designs.

D. Changing construction steps.

3What can be inferred about SAM from the text?

A. It can totally replace human bricklayers.

B. It is complexly built but easy to operate.

C. It is unable to work completely automatically.

D. It is cheap but works much faster than humans.

4In Mike Moy’s opinion, what prevents many construction businesses from finding skilled workers?

A. Their low pay. B. Their potential risks.

C. Their heavy work loads. D. Their poor working conditions.

【题目】Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, the leader of a group of girls’schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls cope with failure.

“All girls and not just the sporty ones should take physical exercise”, Ms Fraser will say. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she backs “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond”, she will say.

The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels(水平)of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion (比例)of boys, the research suggests.

Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, once a skater and tennis player, while the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis, Katherine Grainger and Nicola Adams are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports.

Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey (曲棍球)”, said Ms Dunsford.

1Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with?

A. Those taking part in the sport are always failures.

B. More should be done to make girls do sports.

C. Girls are less confident than boys.

D. Boys are born to be sport lovers.

2What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise?

A. 1/10. B. 1/4.

C. 1/5. D. 2/5.

3Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show ________

A. hard work will pay off.

B. it’s not easy to be great.

C. sport can help girls to succeed.

D. it’s necessary to balance work and sport.

4What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To explain the key to success.

B. To show the importance of sport.

C. To introduce more games to girls.

D. To encourage more girls to do sports.

【题目】The history of the Louvre Museum, which today contains one of the most important art collections in the world, dates back to the Middle Ages. Built in 1190 as a fortress(堡垒)protect Paris from the Vikings, it was transformed into a palace by Francesco I. Since then, for four centuries, French kings and emperors have expanded it. The glass pyramid of I. M. Pei was added to the courtyard of honor in 1989. All galleries can be reached from here.

The glass pyramid

The projects for the monetization and expansion of the Louvre date back to 1981. They included the construction of a main entrance to the museum. The American architect of Chinese origin-I. M. Pei-was in charge of the project. Pei designed a pyramid that had to become an entrance to the museum. Its glass walls allow visitors to admire the surrounding historic buildings and to light up the entrance hall.

The Louvre collection

The Louvre treasures can date back to the collection of Francesco I (1515-1547), who bought many Italian paintings. During the rule of Louis XIV ( 1643-1715) this amounted to only 200 artworks, but it also increased as a result of donations and purchases. It was opened for the first time to the public in 1793. Since then the Louvre collection has been continuously enriched.

The fallen guide

The main entrance is under the glass pyramid. The artworks are exposed on four floors: the display rooms of the artworks are organized according to the countries they are from. There are eight sections in all. The European painters’ collection is very large, with 40 percent of French works, while the collection of sculptures is less complete.
