Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1How much television do you watch? Did you really give an honest answer? A recent study shows that people aren't totally truthful about their television-watching habits.The study in question was conducted at Ball State University in the US. Researchers there wanted to find out how much television people view according to their age. The study was paid for by a council associated with the Nielsen Company, which determines television ratings. The conclusions were that people spend more than 8 hours a day looking at a screen. This included cell phones and computers, but the majority were television screens.There are three interesting things about this study. The first is that people are exposed to more than one hour of advertisements per day. The second is that even with access to DVDs and internet videos, television is still the most popular media source. The third is that the amount of screen-watching people do is relatively the same from the ages of 18-65.So, if everyone is watching television, why lie about it? Well, if someone admits they watch television for five or six hours, they could be considered a couch potato. Michael Phillips, one of the study 9s main researchers, says, "There's a social stigma for people who watch too much television. Sometimes, however, watching the latest reality show or the funniest sitcom gives co-workers and friends fun things to talk about.”Even if you do watch a lot of television, perhaps we can use this study as a reason to be honest with ourselves about how much time we spend in front of the television. I mean, after all, everyone else is doing it.1、Why do people lie about how much TV they watch?A. Because the show they watched is not the latest.B. Because they may be laughed at by co-workers or friends.C. Because they don't want others to know what they watched.D. Because there's something negative attached to watching too much TV.2、Which of the following is true according to the study?A. The most popular media source is the internet.B. 18-year-olds watch more TV than someone in their 60s.C. People are exposed to over than an hour of advertisements a day.D. Researchers say that people watch over 8 eight hours of television a week.3、How could people feel to be considered as a couch potato?A. comfortable B. ashamedC. excited D. satisfied4、What idea does the author mainly want to express with the article?A , What the effects of watching TV are.B. How much television we should watch every day.C There are some interesting facts of watching TV.D. People lie about how much television they watch.Text 2Andrew Jackson has been sitting pretty on the $20 bill for 87 years. Is it time to bring some new blood to the banknote?The non-profit organization called Women on 20s is campaigning to put a woman's face on American money. Barbara Ortiz Howard, the company's founder, would like to see a woman on the $20 bill by 2O2O.That year marks the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave women the right to vote.Howard got the idea when she realized that her daughter had no everyday reminders of famous women in history. She asked her friend Susan Ades Stone, a journalist, to join her cause. "Part of the aim is to educate as many people as possible about as many women as possible/9 Ades says. "We want to see how many people we can reach.American money values the successes of former presidents and founding fathers. Currently, there are only two women on money: Susan B. Anthony is the face of the rare dollar coin, and Sacagawea can be seen on the gold dollar coin. There are no women on paper bills.With help from writers and historians, Howard and Stone came up with a voting list featuring 15 important women. Ades says there is a standard fbr choosing candidates. They look at the women's contributions to our world, and at what challenges they faced.More than 72,000 people have voted so far in the poll. Ades says the competition has narrowed to a “very close race”, but won't say who's in the lead. After two rounds of voting, Women on 20s will send their campaign to the White House for consideration. The final decision is up to the Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew. Lew is unlikely to make a change without the president's approval. But last year, when a little girl asked the president why there aren't any women on US currency, he said that adding a woman is a “pretty good idea”.1、When did American women begin to enjoy voting rights?A.

Ades has announced the victor of the voting.B. It's impossible for Jack Lew to make a change.C. The president will probably support such a change.D. The final decision is due to be made by the president.4、What can be the best title of the text?A. The future faces of moneyB. Different faces chosen on moneyC. Constant changes in money facesD.

The sense of touch is also the one that lasts the longest-as we get older and our vision and hearing begins to weaken, touch still remains. Humans use their touch to protect themselves, to create emotional relationships with other people and to experience pleasure. Can you imagine life without it?The sense of touch comes from a net work of nerve endings （神经末梢）and special touch receptors on the surface of the skin. While there are different kinds of touch receptors, they help us judge pressure, texture and vibrations （震动）.They are located in our fingertips, palms, soles of our feet, face, lips and tongue.When we touch something, the mechano-receptors feel the touch and through a network of nerves send signals to the brain. This informs the brain about the location of the touch, the amount of force used, and the speed at which it was used.Several different techniques have been tried in the past few years to create such a robotic handusing three fingers. But this latest design by Soma copies the human hand. The gripper （钳子）is made up of flexible materials which grasp the thing based on its size and shape. Then air pressure is used to control the movement of the robotic fingers to pick objects safely and without causing damage.The next step would be for the robot to judge how ripe the fruits and vegetables are, and apply pressure accordingly. Members of the research team are currently working on adding computerized vision to the robots, so that they can see what they are grasping.Does all this mean robots can replace people? According to Ocado, it helps improve productivity by removing some of the repetitive tasks done by humans.1、What is focused on in the second paragraph?A. The origin of touch.B. The importance of touch.C , The development of touch.D. The process of transporting touch.2、What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The brain.B. The touch.C. The nerve.D. The signal.3、What is the typical feature of the latest robots?A. They can see what they're taking hold of.B. They can take the place of people in work places.C - They can tell whether the fruits and vegetables are ripe.D. They can hold things firmly according to their outer features.4、What can be a suitable title for the text?A . A Sense of Touch for RobotsB. A Robotic Hand for Classifying FruitsC. A Robotic Hand with a Gentle TouchD. A Robot Made of Flexible MaterialsPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 - 45).
