They dont take lunch breaks or even get paid。 Why? Theyre robots!Robots have long worked in factories， helping to build cars and electronic appliances. But todays robots dont just do the jobs of peoplethey actually look and act a lot like people。Kansei, a robot from Japan, has a plastic face covering 19 movable parts. The robot can make 36 facial expressions in response to different words. Kansei shakes in fear at the word “war” and smiles when it hears the word “dinner”Researchers in Europe are going even further with iCub, a “baby” robot。 They are teaching it to speak and hold conversations。The ability to interact is crucial for robots that will one day work closely with humans， says robotics professor ChrisAtkeson. “This will require robots to understand what you say and how you are feeling and respond with appropriate emotions，” he told WR News.Japanese scientist Minoru Asada agrees。 He is building a robot called CB2 that acts like a real baby。 “Right now, it only goes，Ah， ah。 But as we develop its learning function， it will start saying more complex sentences and moving on its own，” Asada says。 “Next generation robots need to be able to learn and develop by themselves.”Intelligent robot will become more important in the future, as populations age and the number of human workers declines in many countries。 “Were going to have many more old people and not enough young people to care for them，”says robot researcher Matthew Mason。 “Technology can help the old people live at home longer, instead of going to nursing homes。”1What are some jobs robots already perform according to the passage?AGreeting customers, producing factory goods， performing surgery。BBuilding cars, driving passengers, providing directions。CGiving advice， answering customer questions, planning events。DProducing factory goods， building cars, greeting customers。2What is the function of the second paragraph?ATo describe the functions of modern robots.BTo predict the future uses of robots.CTo explain how a robot works。DTo define what a robot is.3How would the Kansei robot probably respond to the word “fire”？AUse language to warn nearby humans.BProduce a worried look on its face.CActivate an automatic fire alarm.DBack up its memory files。4Asada believes the next step for robots will be to develop _。Athe ability to understand human commandsBthe capacity to interact with humansCthe ability to learn independentlyDthe willingness to work together BMost artists have a favorite material they like to work with. For 28。year。old Kristen Alice， it happens to be garbage。 The eco。friendly designer uses her incredible talent to transform garbage like empty drink bottles and candy wrappers into charming dresses that sell for thousands of dollars.Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates generated on a daily basis。 The Fine Arts student began to dream about transforming the deserted bags and packages into beautiful garments.Her first dress made from plastic bags and rolled magazines was strange， fun and even charming。 However, she only made it to test her creativity。The young designer did not consider starting a commercial venture（企业）until she spent a week working at Couture Fashion Week in New York City。 There she observed the excitement generated by new and vintage（复古的)looks and decided to see if her unusual idea would result in as much enthusiasm。 She began by creating a line of 12 garbage。inspired dresses。 They were a huge success.Today her company that has offices in Palm Beach， Florida and New York City， produces a wide variety of dresses ranging from cocktail dresses to ball gowns (礼服)Kristen， of course， doesnt search garbage cans for her material anymore. Instead, she seeks it from companies that have produced more than they need and are planning to throw away the extras。However, if you think the garbage.inspired dresses come cheap， think again. The price for ready。made creations retails（零售）from 500 to 1，500。Though that may appear expensive， the designer says she has no shortage of customers。 In fact she now even has garbage。inspired clothing for men that includes jackets, ties, trousers and even board shorts! While most of the clothes are strong enough to resist multiple wears, whether they can be cleaned is a little unclear。1What made Kristen think of using trash as her favorite material?AHer poor living conditions at college。BThe education from her parents not to waste anything useful。CHer roommates advice of using garbage to replace ordinary material.DHer consciousness of environmental protection and trained eyes。2Kristen decided to start a commercial venture because _。Ashe just wanted to test her creativityBshe was inspired by the enthusiasm caused by new and vintage dressesCshe was driven by the huge profits brought by new fashionDshe found there were no unique。looking but affordable clothes in New York3The last two paragraphs are mainly about _.Athe success of Kristens careerBthe advantages and disadvantages of the garbage.inspired clothingCwhat clothing Kristen mainly designedDwhere Kristen got garbage for her clothing4What is the best title of the passage？ANew Use of GarbageBA New Trend of FashionCA Talented and Ambitious Fashion DesignerDTransforming Trash into Wonderful Garments四.完形填空Millions of people seek help from psychologists in part because they feel different from others。 But a _1_Andrew Erlich says that everyone is a freak（怪物) in some way.

Later， my teacher, Mr Black, advised me plan everything in advance. She asked me to study hard as well。 After a year of putting his advice onto practice，I can now easily pass all my exams.There are no shortcuts to succeed。第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 假定你是李华，你急需购买一些适合你自己阅读水平的英文小说,希望得到你的英国朋友Peter的帮助，请你给他写一封邮件。内容包括： 1. 说明书籍要求; 2. 期望代为购买； 3. 询问支付方式；注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _ _ _书面表达：Dear Peter，I desperately need some novels by contemporary authors for my English study.
