III．完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）
Personally I think trains are exciting and romantic. I must 36 that trains are not important means of transportation in the US, but I do have some 37 with them.
When I was a child, growing up in a small town with very little 38 , we used to go to the station to watch the passenger trains coming in. There was something 39 about the steaming, roaring string of cars coming into view around the mountains, slowly growing larger and 40 and finally 41 crowds of strangers onto the platform.
I took my 42 train trip when I was ten years old. I went with my elder sister to visit our cousins six hundred miles away. The train--so loud and violent on the outside--was 43 and rocking inside. We were very excited, and as that was also our first time away from our parents, we felt somewhat frightened too. However, because I had 44 so much, I was a little disappointed when I was finally one of the passengers I had 45 for so long.
As a college student, I 46 ride overnight train to my roommate’s hometown. We could never afford a 47 , so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked 48 we finally fell uncomfortably asleep in the straight-backed seats.
My idea that trains are 49 may come from the fact that my husband and I took the train on our honeymoon, spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and 50 the window as the desert scenery slid past.
Now, when I make a trip, I always fly or drive, and 51 are not a very important part of my life. 52 , every time I hear the train whistle faraway on a quiet night, I can always feel the 53 in my heart to pack my bags and jump on board, entering a 54 world of motions, sounds, sights, and experience which just aren’t 55 in the dull environment of an airplane.

IV．阅读理解（共10小题；每题2分，满分20分）
A
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world？It's an increasingly urgent question，given the recent mining accidents in Sago．W．Va．and Huntington，Utah．A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not﹣too﹣distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work．
Robotic technology，in particular，holds much promise，McAteer says，especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners﹣the special operations of the mining industry．
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie﹣Mellon University's Robotics Institute．It was called Groundhog．It used lasers to"see"in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines﹣some of the most dangerous work in the business．
The latest design is called Cave Crawler．It's a bit smaller than Grondhog，and even more advanced．It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases．The robot has a real sense of logic，which is hard to believe．If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused．It has to think through the process and where to go next，and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person．
The greatest problem，though，is cost．The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government，but that money has dried up，and it's not clear where future money will come from．Partly for that reason，and partly because of advances in safely，mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past．Since 1990，fatalities（致命性） have declined by 67percent and injuries by 51percent，according to the National Mining Association．
Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry．The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs，but don't eliminate the need for human workers．
56．The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because　　．
A．it's a bit smaller B．it can map abandoned mines
C．it can see in the dark tunnel D．it has a real sense of logic
57．The underlined phrase"throws a bit"in Paragraph 4probably means　　．
A．gets angry B．gets sick
C．becomes hungry D．becomes cheerful
58．We can infer from the last paragraph that　　．
A．robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
B．there will be no need for human workers in mines
C．the mine robots will have a very bright future
D．robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
59．We can learn from the text that　　．
A．a mining robots can help miners have an operation
B．Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
C．experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
D．robots have helped improve the safety of mining
60．What can be the best title for the text？　　
A．Mining Accidents in America B．Robots in Mines
C．Cave Crawler，the Latest Robot D．The Future of Robots．
B
Researchers around the world have been trying their hand at making better use of the huge amount of wind energy available in nature to produce clean energy．Apart from this，studies are being carried out to harness（运用） usable wind energy produced by man﹣made technologies．
One useful source identified by Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan about two years ago is a speeding train，which produces fierce wind that can be transformed into electricity．
According to Pradhan's proposal，with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai，the largest city in India，at least 10，000megawatts（兆瓦） of electricity could be harvested each day．
Building on this principle，designers Ale Leonetti Luparinia and Qian Jiang from Yanko Design have created a device（装置） called T﹣Box that harnesses wind energy from speeding trains．
T﹣Box can be placed within the railway tracks．It is half﹣buried underground between the concrete sleepers（水泥枕木），which does not disturb the normal train operating at all．According to Yanko，around 150T﹣Boxes can be fitted along a 1，000﹣meter railway track．
A train running at a speed of 200kph can produce winds blowing at 15miles a second．Based on this calculation，150T﹣Boxes can produce 2.6KWH of electricity per day．The T﹣Box's design won a silver medal in last year's Lite﹣On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei，Taiwan Province．
Though the figures look impressive，it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage and hasn't taken into account issues such as pieces of waste material produced by the device and the efforts and costs involved in the maintenance（维护） of the device．
We can expect the technology to see the light of the day only after it clears these issues．If so，rail travel，one of the greenest forms of travel，will become greener and more energy﹣efficient．
61．What can we learn about T﹣Box？　　
A．It will be fitted on the trains． B．It is based on Pradhan's idea．
C．It can turn electricity into light． D．It was invented by an Indian scientist．
62．How much electricity can be produced per day by T﹣Boxes along a railway track of 100km？　　
A.260KWH． B.2.6KWH． C.150KWH． D.1.5KWH．
63．It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that　　．
A．T﹣Box has proved to be effective in harvesting wind
B．the maintenance of T﹣Box will be costly
C．there is much to do about T﹣Box
D．T﹣Box will come into use soon
64．According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE？　　
A．The Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan invented the speeding train．
B．The T﹣Box's design won a silver medal in Lite﹣On Awards last year．
C．Rail travel has become one of the energy﹣efficient technologies in the world．
D．The India harvests 10，000megawatts of electricity each day on average．
65．The passage is mainly written to　　．
A．encourage more people to travel by train B．explain the advantages of electricity
C．tell readers how to save energy and money D．introduce a new invention to readers．

第二节 （共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）
Four Steps to Begin Your Path to Greatness
Feeling stuck is quite common．Many times，we have thoughts and dreams of what we want in life．  66.   Our thinking pattern holds us back from going forward．The good news is，at any moment in time，we have the ability to start taking action toward creating the life we want．Here are four steps to get started：
1)．Celebrate Your Success．
Write down all the successes you’ve already achieved and all the awesomeness that you are today．  67.    And once you’re in that positive routine with your thoughts，it will lead you to make better choices and take better actions toward your greatness．
2)．Create Your True Vision．
Many times we live based on others’ expectations or we stay stuck in a particular place because it's our safety zone．Own your path．It can be hard to do，but allow yourself to get out of your head(or stop listening to what others want for you)and focus on your heart and what it's telling you．  68 .
3)．  69 .
If you want to start going to the gym，going 5 days a week right away is extreme，and setting yourself up by biting more than you can chew typically doesn’t result in success，but failure．Instead，start slow and go once or twice a week．After you do that for a while and get into a nice routine，up it to more days．Over time，you will build toward your goal by taking realistic，smaller steps to get there．
4)．Have the Right Support．
70   Find the right support to cheer you on in the process．It could be a friend，a family member，or significant other who you trust．Whoever it may be，having someone on your journey will be just what you need to keep you on track and celebrate with you as you work toward the life you dream of．
A．Don’t do it alone．
B．Be realistic about your goals．
C．Be kind to yourself and accept the moment．
D．Your failure can lead you to another success．
E．This practice will direct your thinking to a positive place．
F．Sadly，they only stay as thoughts and dreams inside of us．
G．Look within yourself deeply and decide what you want and what’s true for you．
