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.One disadvantage of using robots is that they consume________.【单选题】

A.too much energy

B.based on American designs

C.they are too costly

D.they are not reliable

E.quality control

F.free of charge

正确答案:A

答案解析:首先根据语法知识，及物动词consume后加名词作宾语，排除选项B、C、D。consume作动词表示“消耗”，剩余选项中只有A选项“too much energy”可以与其搭配。此外，文章第四段It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job也表明：做同样的工作，机器人平均要消耗的能量是人类的100多倍。由此可以肯定A为正确答案。

2、Status of Teachers in AmericaAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary ｏｒtruck driver, which often pay more to start than that of the teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught fｏｒseveral year.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money, the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, fｏｒmany, than there are rewards.Unruly students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason fｏｒthis change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s ａｎｄ　1970s, one of the most popular choices fｏｒwomen was teaching. But as other professions, such as law ａｎｄ　medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a majｏｒpool of excellent candidates fｏｒthe teaching profession dwindled(减少).Bit by bit government officials ａｎｄ　others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People\'s attitudes have formed over many years, ａｎｄ　sometimes change takes many years.Why do school teachers turn to other professions?【单选题】

A.Because of the unruly students ａｎｄ　large classes.

B.Because of the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money, support ａｎｄ　understanding.

C.Because of the attracting power of other jobs.

D.Because of a lack of satisfaction \'of sharing knowledge ａｎｄ　influencing others.

正确答案:B

答案解析:文中提出了两个主要原因：underpaid与more difficulty in teaching，因此选B。

3、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.Besides its main mission, the orbiter would also be used as .【单选题】

A.a medical research center

B.a space station

C.a space ambulance

D.a passenger plane

正确答案:C

4、Fｏｄｄ（1)Ford\'s great strength was the manufacturing process not invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known fｏｒpicking up pieces of metal ａｎｄ　wire ａｎｄ　turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891, although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology ａｎｄ　market.(2)The company\'s assembly line alone. threw America\'s Industrial Revolution into overdrive(高速运转）. Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford\'s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford\' s Highlａｎｄ　Park plant was humming (嗡嗡作响) along in 1914, the world\'s first automatic conveyｏｒbelt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.（3）The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5 a day minimum Wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average Wage in the auto industry then was $2. 34 fｏｒa9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much fｏｒdoing something that didn\'t involve an awful lot of training ｏｒeducation. The Wall Street Journal called the plan "an economic crime" ａｎｄ　critics everywhere laughed at Ford.(4)But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford\'s dream to make the automobile accessible to all The critics were too stupid to understａｎｄ　that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn\'t matter, except fｏｒmaking it possible fｏｒmore people to buy cars.paragraph 4 ____【单选题】

A.Ford\'s Followers

B.The Assembly Line

C.Ford\'s Great Dream

D.The Establishment of the ompany

8、Electric BackpackBackpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, ａｎｄ　a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don\'t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, ａｎｄ　maybe even light your way home.Lawrence C. Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia ａｎｄ　the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass, have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, ａｎｄ　scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles, ａｎｄ　other battery-powered devices to get around ａｎｄ　do their work. The backpack\'s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer\'s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues in the Sept. 9, Science.The backpack\'s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer\'s back, ａｎｄ　the whole pack moves up ａｎｄ　down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7. 4 watts.Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack ａｌｔｅｒtheir gaits in response to the pack\'s oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably ａｎｄ　with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric ａｎｄ　non-electric versions of the backpack.The backpack could be especially useful fｏｒsoldiers, scientists, mountaineers, ａｎｄ　emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. Fｏｒthe rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, ａｎｄ　listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren\'t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!What is implied in "if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!" 【单选题】

A.You will be too excited to watch the traffic.

B.Enjoying electronic devices while walking may invite traffic accidents.

C.It is not possible fｏｒyou to get such a backpack.

D.It is wise of you to have such a backpack.

正确答案:B

答案解析:这个句子的字面意思是：如果你终于得到这样的背包，过马路时一定要两面都看看。也就是说，不要因为同时玩着游戏、听着音乐、看着电视，太专注以致不注意来往车辆了。

9、Money ｏｒFriendship ｏｒBoth1. Friends ａｎｄ　money don\'t mix. It\'s a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to tend him ｏｒher some money? If you don\'t lend your friend the money, you risk losing the friend. If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship ａｎｄ　your money.2. We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies (伙伴) ａｎｄ　some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Thinking about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond his means, it is his fault, not yours. Any Sensible person would not put himself in a position of debt so often. So simply say "no" to this friend. Even if your friend really needs that money fｏｒemergency use ａｎｄ　you are willing to help him, before you dive into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money? Are you sure you don\'t need it? Are you willing to write off that amount if it\'s not returned? If your answers are negative, do yourself a favｏｒａｎｄ　say "no".3. Let\'s assume you can\'t stａｎｄ　saying "no" to your friend because you don\'t want him living off cat food. What do you do? Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet:Amount of the loan.Date of the loan.Time of repayment.Amount of interest (if any).Lender\'s ａｎｄ　borrower\'s signature.This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily, If your friend\'s loan is past due, it\'s important that you ask him－ａｎｄ　it\'s actually not rude. The longer you wait, the more you are brood (忧伤), ａｎｄ　the more your resentment builds.4. You can send him a friendly reminder via E - mail. Tell him something like "I\'m going over my bank account ａｎｄ　I\'m just wondering when we\'ll be able to settle that money thing." E - mail saves you from an uncomfortable face - to - face confrontation. There is almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an E - mail message will always be private.5. After asking two ｏｒthree times, you might have to write it off. That\'s what happens. If he just doesn\'t have the money ｏｒis unwilling, then what kind of friend is that?Paragraph 3 ____【单选题】

A.Time to Break off a Friendship

B.Unconditional Assistance to Friends in Need

C.Things to Consider When You Have to Say "No" to Your Friend

D.Things to Think over When You Don\'t Want Your Friend to Eat Cat Food

E.Strategies fｏｒBorrowing Money

F.Advantages of E - mail in Handling Money Issues

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定的难度，主旨句似乎不好确认，但实际上可以把第三段的前三句概括成一句主旨句。第三段主要谈到如果你不能不跟朋友说“不”的话，在借他钱时考虑几件事情。回来看选项，D项Things to Think over When You Don\'t Want Your Friend to Eat Cat Food，就是对本段的概括，所以答案是D。

10、New Product Will Save LivesDrinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Patton, who started Genera five years ago. He ａｎｄ　his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.Andy Headland, Genera\'s marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA ａｎｄ　forecast good American sales fｏｒit. Genera has already sold 11 0fits tests at $42,500 a time in the UK ａｎｄ　has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.Genera was formed five years ago ａｎｄ　until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headlａｎｄ　believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.Genera has increased the number of its employees recently.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题可译为：最近，Genera的雇员增加了。见原文最后一段，原来公司里有5位雇员，现在增加到14位，故选A。
