Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions:There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1 When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons' good points, things will be quite different. One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval. The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it. Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy. Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.

Passage 2 Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant's part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write. —When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information. —Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly. —Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. —Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role. —Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position. —Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.
1. The first sentence of the passage means that ______.
A.you may have to fill in a long application form
B.the filling-in of an application form takes much time

2. Although all application forms demand the same basic information, ______.
A.different companies may have different requirements

Passage 3 Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called "social robots," capable of engaging with people. Today's robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal. "Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you're interacting with someone rather than something," she said. "And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership." At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations. "You know if you're going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they're around us," he said. Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people. "It's designed to be in human spaces and interact with people and around people," he said. "So it interacts with the front desk agent when they're sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it's going along. And, it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives." So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.
1. What will social robots do according to the scientists?
A.They will cooperate with people.
B.They will clean the big house.
C.They will explore underwater objects.
D.They will build different kinds of cars.
A B C D

2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Social robots are more difficult to design.
B.Industrial robots are more complicated to design.
C.Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.
D.Industrial robots can do less than social robots.
A B C D
A

3. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.social robots only serve the people they like
B.it's better for social robots to work in a hotel
C.it's better for social robots to have a human face
D.social robots will be under the control of human beings
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章第五段第一句“...they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect...”可知，社交机器人是受人类控制的，所以选项D描述正确；选项A并未在本文提及；选项B和选项C与文义不符。故选D。
Passage 4 What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up—we are born with Our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
1. The sentence "you would rather follow than lead" in paragraph 1 means that you would ______.
A.People's preference of one colour to another is instinct.
B.People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.
C.Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.
D.More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章第一段最后两句话可知，我们并非在成长的过程中选择最喜爱的色彩，因为早在我们出生时就已经确定了喜好(we are born with our preference)，因此A项符合文义，B项不正确；由文章最后一段最后一句可知，C项错误；由第一段最后一句可知，如果你碰巧喜欢棕色，那么在你出生时就已经是这样了(did so=loved brown)，而并非因为你出生时看到了棕色才喜欢它，故D项也不正确。
4. Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of its ______.
A.shape
B.colour
C.structure
D.materials
A B C D
B
[解析] 推理判断题。由文章第二段第四、五句可知，自杀者都愿意选择Thames River上的黑色桥作为自杀地，它被刷成绿色后，企图自杀的人数就急剧下降了(The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply...)。由此可推知，colour(色彩)是自杀者选择在泰晤士河上的桥上自杀的重要因素。
Section B Directions:The following is a short passage about a memo. After reading the passage, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. Surfing(浏览) the Internet can be as addictive (上瘾的) as drugs, alcohol or gambling, a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month. In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused people to spend 40 hours or more a week Online. Most of them often got involved in role-playing games or chat room discussion. One 17-year-old boy was so addicted to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a hospital for 10 days' treatment. One woman was described by friends and family as a perfect wife and mother. She became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook or clean and was neglecting her children and husband, because she was spending as much as 12 hours a day talking to people on the Internet. Finally her husband said, "Choose me or the computer." She divorced him. Kimberly Young, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, found that 76 percent of the subjects (调查对象) in the study spend an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet. Of 396 people who met Young's criteria(标准) for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29, the women average 43 years of age. The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside home, housewives, students and those who were disabled (残疾) or retired.
1. According to the researcher in the University of Pittsburgh, surfing the Internet can be highly ______.
harmful
2. From the passage, we learn that the majority of addicted Internet users are ______.
middle-aged women
3. According to this research, people who are likely to become addicted Internet users are those who are ______.
not employed
4. Kimberly Young found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spend an average of ______ a week on tile Internet.
40 hours
5. The writer's attitude towards Internet surfing is ______.
negative
Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. 1 When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. 2 With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. 3 If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. 4 And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. 5 If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society. Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. 6 With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given.
