They died within months of each other when she was only six years old. Now 21, her only family souvenirs (纪念品) are some dog-eared photographs given to her by the gr
17、andmother who raised her. “I dont remember anything. I have only these. These are how I know what they looked like,” she said. Lydia became one of Ugandas estimated two million AIDS orphans（孤儿）in 1989. Her father died first in April, her mother in September. “There are many like us. But we were luck
18、y, we were so lucky,” she added, glancing at her 69-year-old grandmother a few feet away with a smile. “We had someone to look after us and we were not infected.” A United Nations report said that globally the number of children who have lost one or both parents to AIDS had reached 15 million and wo
19、uld rise to 18.4 million by the end of the decade. The vast majority are in Africa. “It is a tidal (潮汐的) wave of children who have lost one or more of their parents,” Carol Bellamy, the executive director of the United Nations childrens agency UNICEF, told the 15th International AIDS Conference held
20、 in Bangkok. “Fifteen million globally, close to 12 million in sub-Saharan Africa alone. The worst could still be to come,” she added. “Far too many will die.”In Africa, the job of bringing up the orphaned children is often left to grandparents. When Lydias father John died, her grandmother Zalinya
21、Makanwagi took in and brought up his four children. Lydia now works with her grandmother preparing and selling food to patients, visitors and staff at a Taso clinic in downtown Kampala. 36. According to the passage, Lydia has lived without her parents for _ years. A. six B. fifteenC. twenty-oneD. tw
22、enty-five 37. What can be inferred from what Lydia said in Para. 3? A. She doesnt know anything about her parents. B. Many AIDS orphans dont have anyone to look after them. C. No AIDS orphans are infected with AIDS. D. All AIDS orphans are well cared for. 38. Why does the author give us the example
23、of Lydia Kayoyo? A. To let readers know better about AIDS orphans of Uganda. B. To tell readers Lydia Kayoyo is the poorest. C. To tell readers all the people are helping AIDS orphans. D.

24、ter of time before they are picking up garbage, taking wedding pictures, and generally taking over the labor market. But will these mechanical employees learn to be polite?Robotic etiquette（礼节）was exhibited this July in California, where robots competed against each other and dealt kindly with human
25、 life forms. Around 20 robots took part in various tasks during the conference. Carnegie Mellon University exhibited their robot Grace in the Open Interaction Task. This required that Grace work at an information desk where people could ask things like “Where can I get something to eat?” Grace would
26、 ask the visitor about the types of food they like and then give possible restaurant suggestions. On a flat-panel exhibition, her lively face would make expressions appropriate to the conversation. Another entry, Lewisthe robot photographer, was the work of Bill Smart from Washington University. Lew
27、is walked through the crowds at the conference, recording the event with pictures. Interestingly, Lewis camera doesnt usually require a flash, but “people were annoyed when they didnt know when the robot had taken the picture,” Smart said. So his team set Lewis flash to go off every time, just to sa
28、tisfy the pitiful humans. “Offering these types of social signals is a central challenge in robotic development,” Smart explained. “But a robot takes up the same space as you.” This space sharing requires that the robot show signs of intelligence, otherwise it comes off as annoying, or worsescary (吓
29、人的). Smart has found that many non-technical folks are suspicious (怀疑的) of robots. Kids especially seem to be afraid of the picture-snapping Lewis. Smart is glad to have these meetings that get his robot out of the lab where it is always surrounded by sympathetic graduate students. 39. Whats the mai
30、n idea of this passage?A. Robots can replace humans completely.B. Why are people afraid of intelligent robots.C. New robots can interact with people better.D. New robots have more expressions.40.

Robots can do all the work instead of humans.B. Robots have shown signs of intelligence.C. Science of robot
32、s has gone into a new stage.D. Robots have shown some etiquette like humans.42. We can infer from the passage that_.A. there is a long way to go for robots to be like humansB. new robots have shown some behaviors like humansC. kids are fond of Grace but are afraid of LewisD. many people think of suc
33、h intelligent robots as annoyingCHe was not a clever student who worked hard at school, and his classmates made fun of him. Rather than read, the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting homemade movies. In his second year of high school, he dropped out. But when his parents
34、persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning-disabled class. He lasted one month. Only when the family moved to another town did he enter a more suitable high school, where he eventually graduated. After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielberg
35、entered California State College. Then in 1965, he recalls, in one of those occasional moments, his life took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met Chuck Silvers, a manager in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.He a
36、ppeared the next day. Without a job or identification (身份证明), Spielberg walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave. The guard waved back. He was in. “For the entire summer,” Spielberg remembers, “I dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and wri
37、ters. I even found an office that wasnt being used, so I took it up freely. I bought some plastic sign and put my name in the building directory: Steven Spielberg, Room 23C.” It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28-year-old Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then many pop
38、ular movies. Dozens of films and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew what his teachers didnttalent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.43. Who helped Spielberg on his way to success?A.

40、ular movie46. According to the passage, Spielbergs success depends on _.A. his luck B. his talent C. his knowledgeD. his confidenceDThe power of words becomes clear after listening to a powerful speech that leaves you feeling inspired, or when a moving passage from a novel brings tears to your eyes.
41、 But when it comes to causing pain, the power of words may still be vastly underestimated（低估）. Kids who are always laughed at and called names can develop low self-respect and may grow up to be angry adults.“Hurtful words can haunt (索绕) you all your life and may lead to heart disease, depression, st
42、ress,” said W. Penn Handwerker, a medical anthropologist. Not surprisingly, those that have the most effect are words that come from people we admire or who have some power over our lives: teachers, wives/husbands, parents and friends.Studies have found verbal assaults（伤害） are even more painful than
43、 physical ones. “A bruise can eventually disappear, but words can hurt your soul. Words create fear and contain the promise of future violence. The emotional effect on victims can range from low-level anxiety to great fear,” said Stephen Wessler, director of the Center for the Study and Prevention o
44、f Hate Violence at the University of Southern Maine.It is estimated that 160,000 students miss school every day because theyre afraid of being harassed（骚扰）. Whats more, name-calling and other forms of rude remarks are early signs of actual violence in schools. Wessler, who worked as a prosecutor（检察官
45、）, explained that when he was called into schools for cases of violence, it was typically the last stage of a much longer battle.“The violence had actually begun days or months after verbal harassment,” he said. 47. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Words can inspire people in most ways. B. Verb
46、al assaults can be more painful than physical ones.C. Kids are usually easier to be hurt by words. D. Physical assaults are often caused by hurtful words.48.

Verbal assaults are often not paid early enough attention to in schools.C. A prosecutor is called into schools to settle the case
48、s of violence peacefully.D. Students miss schools to avoid a much longer battle.50. Why is the number of students who miss school every day mentioned in the passage?A. To show the relationship between verbal assaults and physical assaults.B. To provide evidence of the hurtful effects of verbal assau
49、lts.C. To call the school leaders attention to children who miss school.D. To point out the bad results of verbal assaults.第四节 任务型阅读（10分）阅读下面的短文，根据所读内容在文后第71至第80小题的空格中填上适当的单词或短语。At one time or another, most farmers have problems with mice. This is especially true of grain farmers. Mice eat a lot of
50、grain. They also carry disease. People can get sick from eating or touching grain that mice have gotten into. There are some ways that farmers can deal with these problems. One way is to use grain storage buildings specially designed to keep mice out. Another way is to use poisons to kill the mice.
51、However, both of these methods can be costly. Farmers must buy the materials to build the grain storage buildings. Or they must buy the chemical poisons to kill the mice. But these poisons can also be dangerous to other living thingsincluding the farmers who use them. Today we tell about a way to ki
52、ll mice without spending a lot of money. It is a simple but effective kind of mousetrap. An agriculture expert in West Africa once wrote about a method used by some local farmers. This expert in Mali said his gardener set four traps with this method and caught one hundred and fifty mice in just one
53、night. The trap is easy to make. You need a twenty-liter container that is empty and uncovered. You can use a plastic or metal bucket. Dig a hole in the ground and place the container inside. The top should be level with the surface of the ground. Fill the container with water to within eight centim
54、eters of the top. Add small pieces of grain wastes. These should float on the water. Also put some wastes on the ground near the trap. During the night, mice will come out to eat the grain wastes. They will fall into the trap. If you do not have enough grain to float on the water, you can try anothe
55、r way. Stretch two pieces of cloth over the top of the container or the hole in the ground. Leave a small opening where the pieces of cloth meet. Put a little grain on the cloth. When mice walk onto the cloth to eat, they will slide through the opening and drown in the water. （51）_ caused by mice.Mi
