18、 had just been married in February and were preparing for their honeymoon. They would leave their home in New Zealand to set off on a tour of the United States.Matt developed a bit of a cold before leaving but didnt think much of it. During the first 14-hour leg of their flight, though, Matt s simpl

19、e cold developed into a high fever. When they got to Idaho, he felt even worse. As three days passed and Matt stayed in bed, Dani took him to the hospital. When the doctor came back with the blood test results, his lighthearted attitude from earlier had noticeably changed. The patient s white blood

20、cells were dangerously low. It was either AIDS or cancer.Three days later, the news came: acute myeloid leukemia (急性骨髓性白血病). About 90 percent of Matts blood was cancerous, so hed have to start chemotherapy (化疗) right away. There was a catch一treatment would mean Matt could never have kids. Even knowi

21、ng their chances of starting a family were gone, they had no choice but to continue.Chemotherapy clearly was not enough, so Matt needed a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植). His sister was the perfect match, and they flew to San Diego for the treatment. The bone marrow transplant destroyed what was left

22、of Matts immune system and got rid of the cancer.In the middle of Matt s fight against cancer, they received all $80,000 they needed within about a week, much of it from complete strangers.The treatment went better than expected, and a year later, Matt was already back at work in San Diego. But he a

He promised to give the money back to the strangers.CKanda really doesnt like to walk alone. The scientist from

27、 a research institute of intelligent robots finds the experience so boring that hed rather drive even though he lives close to his lab and knows that walking is healthy. “I enjoy walking with someone, like with my wife, with my daughter,” Kanda said. “But they are not always available.”So Kanda, who

28、 specializes in human-like bots, developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The bot rests on a persons shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly

29、8.5 inches high, 3.5 inches wide, and 10 inches long. A microphone, speaker, and internal camera allow it to communicate. Its even equipped with a smile.Kanda and his team collected video from five different locations, including a garden and a shopping mall, and created a dataset of small talk topic

30、s related to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues (暗示) with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice. Near a group of parked cars, for example, it might say, “In a big parking lot, sometimes I forget where I parked.” They tested the

31、 robot on 15 volunteers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about 26 years old. “Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion (蒲公英) seeds into the air?” The robot asked a participant, who smiled and responded, “Yes, I often did that when I was a child.” Although several participants noted

32、 the robots weight, Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience as strange or funny. “I guess people enjoy new technologies,” he said.Just like a human partner, Kandas bot isnt perfect. Its not able to go for walks in heavy rain and, while the robot can make expressions, it cant really

33、 hold a conversation, about which kind of sense of being with someone,” he said, “particularly when it spoke.”28. Why does Kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner? A. Because he wants someone to accompany him while walking. B. Because he has never developed a robot like a parrot.

34、 C. Because his family are unwilling to walk with him. D. Because he is crazy about developing robots.29. What characteristic does the robot have? A. It can “speak” and “see”. B. It can walk like a human being. C. It can communicate with people freely. D. It is much more humorous than a real person.

35、30. What is necessary for the robot to function? A. A small size. B. A boxy shape. C. A human partner. D. A speech software.31. What is Kanda most likely to do about his robot next? A. To make it more convenient to carry.B. To improve its conversational skills. C. To enable it to walk in heavy rain.

36、D. To better its sound system.DAs pet ownership booms, a troubling question raises its head: who owns whom? There is a range of theories about how human came to rule the planet. Opposable thumbs, brain size, altruism (利他主义) and cooking all played a part, but central to the mans success was its abili

37、ty to dominate (支配) other species. As humanity has got richer, animals roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and burglars meant less demand for dogs for protection; the gasoline engine made horses redundant; modern health systems kept rats in check and made ca

38、ts less useful. No longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries. Pet-keeping seems to become common when household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming. The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer ar

39、e they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the leftovers that fall from their masters tables. Pet-food shelves are filled with delicacies, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic (糖尿病) or suffer from sensitive digestion. In the business this is called “pet humanization (人类化

40、)”the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex and Spot toin AmericaBella, Lucy and Max. It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing, pet grooming (美容) and pet hotels. People still assume

41、that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible “puppy-dog eyes” precisely to dominate human emotions. It has worked. Sentimental (感伤的) Amer

42、icans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cats “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat “housekeeper”, catering to (迎合) every cute action. Watch a dog-walker trailing “his” dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and you have to wonder:

43、whos in charge now?32. What is the main cause for human being to become the ruler of the planet?A. having opposable thumbs B. getting wealthierC. possessing altruism and cooking skills D. taking hold of other species33.

What might pet owners do in the past?A. feed ice cream to their dogs B. prepare foods for pets that are diabeticC. feed the pets on what remained D. spend much money on pets35.

People become subject to (从属于) pets emotionally.第二节 (共 5 小题,每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)Its Alarming: What Wakes You Up Each Morning?How do you wake up in the morning? If you set an alarm on your phone or clock

46、that sounds like this: beep beep beep? _36 Sleep inertia (惯性) is another term for grogginess (昏睡), which means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping. 37 A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarms that have a melody

47、- like the beginning of this song - can help people feel fresher in the morning.The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake

48、 up. _38_ However, it is the findings in early days and more work is needed to fully know the answer.So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a beepin

49、g alarm. _39_ And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be. _40_ However, no matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.A. Can musical alarms work wonders?B. So, is there a better way to do the trick?C. This can help you fall asleep m

50、ore quickly and easily.D. Alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum (哼唱) or sing along with may be good choices.E.

51、attention when waking from sleep.G. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共15题,每题1分,满分15分)Dad is a reserved (寡言少语的) man of few words but is always strict.
