I accepted the _41_ because its always fun to see what young writers are up to. A few hours before the class, I got the _42_ that I often get before I go into a school nausea(反胃) and the fear that Im about to get into _43_.When I _44_ into a school, all the old feelings come back：_45_ teacher is going to get mad at me; the headmaster is going to make me take a note home.But Im not alone in having _46_ feelings from school days. Often people talk about bad _47_they still have about being unprepared for a(n) _48_ test. Others say that being picked on and not being _49_ for a team are still terrible memories for them. So its no _50_ that adults sometimes act like theyre still in school.My _51_ memories are about teachers getting mad at me. I was often ashamed of the serious crime of “talking out of turn”， a guy who couldnt keep his _52_ shut.I realize that the answer is to face the feelings, _53_ avoid them. So I volunteer at a school once a week. Each week, Im a little more _54_ when I walk into the office to _55_. And I admit that sometimes when the headmaster _56_ me with a smile, I think hes planning to call my mother to say I should dress a little nicer _57_ I visit his school. But by the end of my time there, I feel _58_.Now Im _59_ my next volunteer day at school. In fact, I might get there a little earlier so I can spend _60_ more time there.41.

On the Internet.C When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too.Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.Jeff Clune is a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming. He says robots also help people in natural disasters.Robots are deployed in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.“The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Their findings were reported in the journal “Nature”.Mr. Clune said that once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.He says the robots are also programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.66. At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions dogs to _.A. provide examples of how animals deal with unexpected injuryB. show how scientists get inspiration from dogs to develop technologyC. introduce the topic in a more attractive wayD. suggest that scientists shouldnt ignore the similarity between dogs and robots.67. According to the passage, nowadays robots cant _.A. play chess or clean the houseB. be sent on a mission to explore on the MarsC. help people in search and rescue operations following an earthquakeD. examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident68. Why are Mr.Clune and other scientists devoted to developing the technology?A. They want to succeed in programming robots with child-like curiosity.B. They expect to enable robots to continue working despite injury under difficult conditions.C. They intend to make robots which can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.D. They are determined to design a more powerful robot for Mars exploration.69. Now scientists have developed robots that, once damaged, can _.A. rely on their functions to figure out a way to handle the emergency.B. figure out the best way to get around in a short timeC. spend about a second finding a way to overcome damageD. maintain their child-like curiosity and keep asking people around for solutionsD Suppose you become a leader in an organization. Its very likely that youll want to have volunteers to help with the organizations activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Lets begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift peoples wish of participation from an internal (内在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because its important to me”) to an external (外在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because Im required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity. Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.32. People volunteer mainly out of _ .A. academic requirements B. social expectationsC. financial rewards D. internal needs33. What can we learn from the Florida study?A. Follow-up studies should last for one year. B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research. D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.34. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A. Individual differences in role identity. B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer. D. Practical advice from researchers.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Get People to Volunteer B. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers Interest D. How to Organize Volunteer Activities第二节 （七选五 共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Finnish Translation: Be Aware of False FriendsFalse friends, those tricky words that are a translators enemy and that can be found in almost every document we translate, also exist between English and Finnish. 36 So, whats a false friend? Well, as many of you might know, a false friend (from the French faux amis) is a word or an expression that shares a similar written form in two languages, but which has different meanings. 37 When you see them, you might assume they have the same meaning as a similar word in your native language. 38 Even professional translators can be misled by a false friend. Thats why, as a translator, its necessary to be familiar with them. Remember that when it comes to translation, false friends are worse than bitter enemies, as the Scottish proverb says, and you should keep your eyes open, because they might be waiting for you around every corner. It seems no language is free of false friends. 39 During the years Ive been working as a translator, Ive come across many false friends; they were in that urgent assignment, or that translation I finished off without first having my coffee, trying to confuse me. 40 Therefore, I would like to help you in your war against false friends by sharing some of them with you. A.The Finnish language is no exception. B.Research key words while doing translation. C.This is the first of a two-part series on the topic. D.Therefore, false friends can cause a lot of problems. E.Luckily, I was able to spot them and translate them properly. F.Sometimes, even fluent users of a language can confuse them. G.So you should avoid a nightmare caused by it during your next translation project. 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。第II卷第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节 满分55）第二节 阅读下面材料，用不多于1个单词的正确形式填空(语法填空)First, reading books 61 (be) fun.
