Part IⅡ Reading Comprehension(40%)
Passage1
This past fall semester,at Duke University,there were two students who were taking Organic Chemistry.
They did pretty well on all of the tests and the midterms and labs,etc,such that going into the final they had a
solid “A”.There two friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals'week,even
though the Chemistry final was on Monday,they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and have a
party with some friends up there.So they did this and had a great time.However,with the aftereffects of
alcohol and everything,they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then,what they did was to find Professor Aldric after the final and explain to
him why they missed the final.They told him that they went up to UVA for the weekend,and had planned to
come back in time to study,but they had a flat tire（爆胎）on the way back and didn't have a spare and
couldn't get help for a long time and so were late getting back to campus.
Aldric thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final on the following day.The two
guys were overjoyed and relieved.So,they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Aldric
had told them.He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem,which was something simple about free radical formation and was
worth 5 points.“Cool,”they thought,"this is going to be easy.”They did that problem and then turned the
page.They were unprepared,however,for what they saw on the next page.
It said:(95 points)Which tire was flat?

Passage 2
A large,detached(獨(dú)立的）house not only ensures privacy.It is also a status symbol.The “magnificent
home”is set in a big garden.Of course,this kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people.But even a
small detached house,surrounded by a garden,gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the
hearts of many British people.Most people would be happy to live in a cotage(村舍），and if this is a thatched
（茅草的）cottage,suggestive of a pre-industrial age,so mush the better.
Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats(what the Americans call "apartment blocks").Flats,
they feel,provide the least amount of privacy.With a few exceptions,mostly in certain locations in central
London,flats are the cheapest kind of home.The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else.
The dislike of living in flats is very strong.In the 1950s millions of poorer people lived in old,cold,
uncomfortable nineteenth century houses,often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom.During the next
twenty years many of them were given new “high rise"blocks of flats to live in which,with central heating
and bathrooms,were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces.But people hated
their new homes.They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floors up.They missed the
neighborliness.They couldn't keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely green
spaces.The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken.The lifts didin't work.The corridors were dark.
Windows were damaged and were not repaired.There was grafiti all over the walls.
36.British people prefer
A.flats to detached housesB.cottages to flats
C.modern houses to old housesD.city life to country life
37.A garden is considered to be desirable because
A.it's British

C.flats are in expensive areasD.they dislike the neighbors there
39.Compared with the 19h century houses,the new high-rise blocks
A.were in better locationsB.were warmly welcomeed
C.were much better equippedD.were much more expensive
40.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
A.British Culture>B.louses,Not Flats
C.British DreamD.Kinds of Houses
Passage3
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 please 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 is 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 andience 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 appreciative in your daily life,and you'll be surprised how that will change your life and the world

Passage4
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 rebots,"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'e 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 follow our standards
and they have to do things in the way we expect,so that we can move about out 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 space 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 message or taking family photos.But
Cynthia Breazeal,who designed this one,says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.
46.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.
47.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.
48.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
49.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The funcition of social robots.B.The use of industrial robots.
C.The daily life of robots.
D.The way of designing robots.
50.Which of the following best describes the writer's tone in the passage?
A.Critical
