1、RobotsThe most sophisticated (先进的) Japanese robots, which have vision systems ａｎｄ　work at very high speeds, are still based on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America ｏｒEurope.Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices fｏｒsimply handling objects, today their commonest uses are fｏｒmore skilled work like welding (焊接), spray-painting ａｎｄ　assembling components.In Britain robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive ａｎｄ　partly because engineers now have more experience with robots ａｎｄ　are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively.It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job.It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an enormous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all material published in Japan. The reliability of robots is measured in their MTBF ｏｒmean time between failures. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 18 hours a day fｏｒtwo years). One way robot manufacturers have increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small .sample.The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quality control. One programmed robots can work more accurately ａｎｄ　consistently than humans, who can get tired ａｎｄ　bored.Paragraph 2 ________.【单选题】

A.Ongoing Research

B.Extension of Use

C.Robot Heroes

D.Greater Reliability

E.Falling Demand

F.Hidden Danger

正确答案:B

答案解析:第二段只有一句话，该句讲述了机器人从最初被用于简单的机械操作发展到今天普遍应用于技术含量更高的工作，如焊接、喷漆等。这表明机器人应用的领域更加广泛。B选项Extension of Use与其意思相符，故B为正确答案。

2、Operatunity1. Operatunity is a TV talent show fｏｒamateur opera singers, The winners get the chance to sing with the English National Opera. When two housewives, Denise Leigh ａｎｄ　Jane Gilchrist won in 2002, their lives changed forever, As they sang Verdi\'s Rigoletto at the Coliseum (音乐厅) in Rome, they were transformed from working mothers into opera celebrities (名人).2. "I live in the village I was born in," says Denise, who is blind. "Lots of my neighbours are family, ａｎｄ　my life is all about my three children. Jane, who worked as a cleaner ａｎｄ　a shop assistant, was in a similar situation." She says. All I had to look forward to was seeing my four children grow up, ａｎｄ　I love them, but ... you know there must be more things than life. Winning Operatunity has opened up avenues I never knew existed."3. "Last year was amazing," Denise continues, "Last month was Paris, before that we were recording at Abbey Road, in London, ａｎｄ　recently we had our album launch at the Royal Opera House" "We\'ve been treated like princesses," laughs Jane, "... champagne, chocolates, five - star hotels ..."4. But it wasn\'t all so easy. FｏｒDenise, the worst part was waiting at the beginning. "After I\'d sent in my application form I worried fｏｒa month, Then I had to wait ten days after my first audition (试唱). That was awful." Even when they won the competition they were allowed to tell their close family but they weren\'t allowed to tell anyone else until later. Denise ａｎｄ　Jane also found the travelling is difficult. They couldn’t take their children with them while they were away singing, so they had to organise childcare. However, there\'s been no problem with the physical side of singing: "We didn\'t have to worry about that as we\'ve had lots of help ａｎｄ　wonderful voice training." says Jane. They also had to learn to deal with the media." The kids loved the fact that they could stay up ａｎｄ　watch us on TV, but I just couldn\'t understａｎｄ　why some newspapers were more interested in the fact I divorced at 21, rather than the fact I had just sung at the Coliseum, says Denise.Being celebrities, Denise ａｎｄ　Jane had to learn to ____.【单选题】

A.help others out

B.take care of their children

C.deal with the media

D.raise their children

E.realize their dreams

F.see the world

3、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods ａｎｄ　services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, fｏｒwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food ａｎｄ　clothing", ａｎｄ　"services" such as transport ａｎｄ　entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal ａｎｄ　minerals, ａｎｄ　have fertile (肥沃的) soil ａｎｄ　a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered fｏｒmany years from civil ａｎｄ　external wars, Fｏｒthis ａｎｄ　other ____ it was unable to develop her resources. Sound ａｎｄ　stable political conditions, ａｎｄ　freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ　steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced ａｎｄ　consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Fｏｒexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs ａｎｄ　other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible fｏｒher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad fｏｒthe agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】

A.reasons

B.aspects

C.points

D.services

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，可以先看选项得到信息提示，文章此处是说由于这个和其他缘故，“中国没有能很好地开发自然资源”，所以应该使用reason，最佳答案是A。

4、Human Space ExplorationWhile scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles(航天飞机) on space station missions by2012 ａｎｄ　respond quickly to space station emergencies.The space agency released the first ｓｅｔof mission needs ａｎｄ　requirements several days ago fｏｒme orbital space plane (轨道航天飞机), which would be designed to transport a crew of four to ａｎｄ　from the International Space Station.Although it includes few specifics, the plan states the orbiter(轨道航天飞机) will be safer cheaper ａｎｄ　require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport four crew members by 2012 though it would be available fｏｒrescue missions by 2010. NASA says the craft should be able to transport injured ｏｒill space station crew members to "definitive(决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term priorities of space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia ａｎｄ　its seven member crew on February l, 2003.Expels at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working fｏｒyears on a successｏｒto the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative (倡议), was divided last year into two parts----one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on a space station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.The program\'s managers say NASA officials have told them not to ａｌｔｅｒSpace Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.U. S. President George W. Bush asked Congress fｏｒabout US$1 billion fｏｒSpace Launch Initiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane ａｎｄ　Next Generation Launch Technology.The design of the orbiter indicates ____ .【单选题】

A.NASA\'s determination to continue space exploration

B.NASA\'s disadvantage in space technology

C.the great pressure from Congress on NASA

D.a heavy defeat fｏｒNASA

正确答案:A

答案解析:此题问的是设计这架航天飞机表明了什么？选项A的意思是“NASA继续探索太空的决心”。其他几个选项的意思均与原文不符，所以A为答案。

5、African wild dogFinding a babysitter while you go out to work is, fｏｒexample, an inconvenience. Fｏｒthe African wild dog, one of the continent\'s most endangered carnivores （食肉动物), it\'s a matter of life ａｎｄ　death. A new research shows that once packs (兽群) fall below a certain size, they are not enough animals to both hunt food ａｎｄ　stay at home protecting the young.The African wild dog has declined drastically over the past century. Habitual loss (栖息地的丧失), persecution ａｎｄ　unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3, 000 to5,000 animals remain, ａｎｄ　the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues.Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena (鬣狗) face similar pressures, yet are not declining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dog\'s weakness lies in its social organization.Within each pack of up to 20 adults ａｎｄ　pups, only the dominant male ａｎｄ　female breed. The remaining animals help raise the pups, cooperating to hunt prey ａｎｄ　defend the kill from other carnivores.Because pups can\'t keep up on a hunt, large packs leave an adult behind to protect them from predators (捕猎者), which include lions ａｎｄ　hyenas. But leaving a babysitter also carries costs. A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey ａｎｄ　to defend the kill. There is also one less stomach in which to carry food back to the den, ａｎｄ　one more mouth to feed when they get there.Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off (权衡) by modeling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed all the pups ａｎｄ　still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs, either the hunting ｏｒthe babysitting suffers, ｏｒthe animals have to compensate by increasing the number of hunting excursions which itself carries a cost to the pack.Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of five animals ｏｒfewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they did leave a babysitter, they were forced to hunt more often.A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in a vicious circle (恶性循环), says Courchamp, who is now at Paris-Sud University. "Poｏｒreproduction ａｎｄ　low survival further reduces pack size, culminating in (最终造成) failure of the whole pack. " ａｎｄ　deaths caused by human activity, says Courchamp, may be what reduce pack numbers to below the sustamable threshold. Mammal ecologist Chris Carbone at London\'s Institute of Zoology agrees. Maintaining the integrity of wild dog packs will be vitalin preserving the species, he says.The African wild dog has been endangered.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:答案的依据是第2段：在过去的一个世纪里，非洲野狗的数量急剧下降。如果这个势头继续下去的话，在数十年里，这个物种就会灭绝。因此题干的说法是正确的。

6、Houses of the FutureWhat will houses be like after thirty years? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict. What will our home be like then?Future houses will have to be flexible. some of us will be working from home. So we will have to be able to use areas of the house fｏｒwork fｏｒpart of the day ａｎｄ　fｏｒliving fｏｒthe rest. Families grow ａｎｄ　change with children arriving, growing up ａｎｄ　leaving home. The house of the future will have to grow ａｎｄ　change with the family. Nothing will be as fixed as it is now.

9、How to Be a Successful Business personHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business ａｎｄ　others are not? Here\'s a story about one successful business person. He started out washing dishes ａｎｄ　today he owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, ａｎｄ　when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.At the age of 23 ａｎｄ　with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working fｏｒa company that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental (租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. Fｏｒtwo months, he worked as a cook\'s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen ａｎｄ　help the cook. "I didn\'t like it," Mr. Kazi says, "but I always did the best I could."One day, Mr. Kazi\'s two co - workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.A few months later, the owners needed a manager fｏｒa new restaurant.

He ａｎｄ　his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, ａｎｄ　improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to wait more than ten minutes fｏｒtheir food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant fｏｒa profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, ａｎｄ　retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn\'t planning to stop there. He\'s looking fｏｒmore poorly managed restaurants to buy. "I love it when I go to buy a restaurant ａｎｄ　find it\'s a mess," Mr. Kazi says. "The only way it can go is up."Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC to ____.【单选题】
