【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C或D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Teens don't want to be seen with their parents, much less talk to them or do anything with them. That's what we hear all the time. I don't believe it. Oh, sure, when my daughter and my son were in their teens, they wanted to spend most of their free time with their friends. But there were always those special times planned when we enjoyed being alone with each other, when we connected deeply, and when we were reminded again how much we loved one another.
I recall how delighted my 14-year-old daughter, Alisa, felt when I asked her for a date to see a movie. It was a bittersweet Italian movie, Cinema Paradiso, and I wanted this story to give her a sense of how I grew up as an Italian boy in a small town, where life was simple and where everyone knew one another. I wanted her to know how her father had been brought up and shaped.
We both laughed and cried during the same scenes in the movie. She was attached to the movie. I decided we should complete our evening with some lively conversation at a nearby bakery. I told her the movie was now so much more special for me because I had shared it with her. She smiled. She understood. We made a memory that night.
From our living room window, I saw my 13-year-old son, Jason, tearfully searching our vegetable garden for a place to bury his pet boa constrictor (蟒蛇). Because my son had suffered from asthma (哮喘) and allergies, he could never have a dog, a faithful friend that he wanted so much. Every pet he owned—lizards, fish, or snakes—had died.
I was at his side as we searched for the best gravesite (墓地). We dug the grave, said our goodbyes and then he cried. He cried hard and he asked me why every pet he had owned died so soon. I could feel his heart break against my chest. I just held him close. He let me hold his aching soul. He needed me while he was confused. Share your heart with your teens. Show them repeatedly that you know and love who they really are. There are tender memories waiting to be made.

We live a life surrounded by robots. Nearly every robot has been made in some way1 up to a certain level or temperature. The machine will wait for “feedback” about the water2or temperature before it begins the washing cycle. In this way, a washing machine has been patterned after humans. We depend on 3from our five senses to find out what is happening around us and then make decisions about our actions.
Of course, some machines perform functions like humans, but much 4 than we do, such as calculators. A pocket calculator works faster than a human, never makes mistakes, and doesn’t get 5or bored.
Other robots are very similar to humans in their ability6 new things. In factories, robots can learn to do many different tasks, as they are shown by a human operator. For example, in a car factory, a person will guide a robot’s “arm” and “ 7” through the steps of the new job. The robot’s electronic “brain” will 8the information away, memorizing the steps so the next time it9can repeat the movements without a human operator. When the robot must be moved to a new job, its memory is 10so it is ready to learn the next job. Of course, at any time if there is anything 11in the process, different from the original task, the robot cannot 12 with it. It will signal for an engineer to come for repairs.
Some robots are considered very intelligent because they have more human abilities than others, such as “seeing” 13 cameras for eyes or “feeling” with metal fingers that can14shapes and even temperatures. However, no machine has 15been able to copy the complexity of the simplest, most common person.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
Freshmen are always fearful when learning they are to live with a roommate of a different race assigned by the computer casually. They are full of worry at the uncertainties. Now several studies have found that sharing a room with a man of another race is a mixture of hope and fear. It decreases prejudice and forces students to make friends with those of different races, meanwhile causes more conflicts.
An Ohio State University study found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success at college. Sam Boakye — the only black student on his freshman year floor — said “if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove like a good score in study.”
However, researchers also observed problems in this case. According to two recent studies, compared with two white roommates, roommates of different races may experience such big conflicts that one has to move out and live separately.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. In her opinion, this may be the first time that some of these students have lived with someone of a different race.
At Penn, students are not asked to mention race when applying for their housing. In this way, students are thrown together randomly.
“In the past two years, I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students,” said one Penn resident advisor (RA). To give a better picture, she added that some conflicts provided more multicultural acceptance, but some showed unpleasant differences. Besides, these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
Kao said it was unscientific to conclude from any one of the above studies, saying scientists must study more students' background characteristics.
(1)According to several studies, what’s the advantage of sharing a room with a man of another race?
A.It makes them feel at ease although one has to move out and live separately.
B.It reduces prejudice and make students of different races become friends.
C.It causes more conflicts among roommates of different races.
D.It makes all of them achieve higher academic success at college.
(2)How is this text mainly developed?
A.By following time order.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By giving examples.
D.By making classification.
(3)The underlined word randomly in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to__________.
A.casually
B.intentionally
C.specially
D.carelessly
(4)What's Grace Kao's opinion about the conclusions from the studies?
A.It was scientific.
B.It was convincing.
C.It was believable.
D.It was unscientific.
(5)What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.We should do some research.
B.We should help each other.
C.We should draw a conclusion in a scientific way.
D.We can draw a conclusion from our study.

【题目】Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. Her first experience with the wilderness was in the Adirondacks in the northeast of New York, where she worked at a summer resort to earn money for college tuition by caring for the horses, giving riding lessons, and working as a waitress. And she has many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.

Anne returned to school in the fall, but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks. She grew to love her time alone in the mountains. Anne graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in conservation of natural resources and began working for the National Audubon Society in Florida as a wildlife tour leader.

Although Anne took great pleasure in showing people the animals living in the Florida Keys and the Everglades National Park, she longed for the mountains in the northern parts of New York. Eventually, she decided to build a cabin near Black Bear Lake. Over the years, however, more and more tourists began hiking near her cabin. As a result, Anne decided to build another cabin deeper in the woods at Lily Pad Lake.

Anne lived in the woods for most of her life. She enjoyed living alone in the woods, and her life was far too busy for her to be lonely. When she was not writing books, she wrote articles for National Geographic, Reader’s Digest, and other magazines. In her later years, Anne conducted research in Guatemala on an endangered bird called the grebe. She also lectured nationwide about ecology. Besides, Anne worked with a number of organizations dedicated to conservation.

As a respected guide, author, and conservationist, Anne not only loved the land but also had found a way to become part of it.
