(10 points)As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his oldest son 36 a severe stomachache and died suddenly. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, 37 him alone with his six-year- old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were 38 Al could handle, and he 39 to alcohol. Al began to lose everything he possessed-his home, his land, his art objects, everything. 40 he died alone in a San Francisco motel room.When I heard of Al's death, I reacted with the same disdain (蔑视)the world shows for one who ends his life with nothing41 left. "What a complete failure!591 thought. "What a totally 42 life!”As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier 43 judgment. You see, I knew Al's now adultson, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most 44 most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free45 of the love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come 46 somewhere.I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to 47 an alcoholic. One day I get up my 48 to ask him."I'm really puzzled by something/91 said. "I know your father was basically the only one to 49 you. 50 on earth did he do that you became such a special person?Ernie sat 51 and thought for a few moments. Then he said, “From my 52 memories as a child until I left home at 18,Al came into my room every night, gave me a 153 and said, “I love you, son.”Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to 54 Al as a failure.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material: But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus （章鱼）.Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot“ could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search, rescue and exploration. "The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation fbr a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots" the study's authors wrote.Robots built fbr precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains （地形）or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren't especially safe around humans, because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.So researchers have been working on building soft robots fbr decades. They're taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone （硅酮）body, it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power."Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology9 Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. "Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life." 1> What's the special feature of “Octobot"?A. It's soft. B. It's made of metal.C. Ifs very small. D. It looks like an octopus.2、What's the disadvantage of traditional robots?A. They9re hard to control. B. They're too heavy to move.C. They can't predict conditions. D. They can't behave well all the time.3、 One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's A. silicone body B. complex componentsC. precise movements D. flexible power source4、What can we infer about the application of “Octobot” ？A. It has been used in various fieldsB. It has not been put into use on a large scale.C. It has been used in the field of rescueD. It has not been improved yet.Text 2That robots, automation, and software can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who's worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.They believe that technology increases productivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human workers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employment suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.United States Productivity and EmploymentBut are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster （无生气）job growth? David Autor, an economist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If he's right, it raises the possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowdown in job creation “is a big puzzle,“ he says, “but there9s not a lot of evidence that it's linked to computers. “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is very different from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,“ he adds. "Jobs can change a lot without there being huge changes in employment rates.”Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Still, Katz doesn't dismiss the notion that there is something different about today's digital technologies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is "genuinely a question J he says. "If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?1 > Which period on the chart strongly supports McAfee claim?A. 19471967.B. 19851987.C. 19972000.D. 20112013.2、According to David Autor, the change in job growth.A. is not necessarily caused by technologyB. results from a weakening economyC. has no connection with productivityD. affects the current types of jobs3、What is Lawrence Katz's attitude towards the topic?A. Optimistic. B. Defensive.C. Objective. D. Disapproving.4、 The main purpose of the passage is to.A. show the relation between productivity and job creationB. discuss the effect of technological advances on employmentC. argue against the wide use of artificial intelligenceD. explain the impact of technologies on productivityText 3As the international demand for narrative（叙事的）film/TV content continues to increase with popular streaming services like Netflix and others the two questions then come: will the coming generations receive most of their entertainment through visual means rather than through the written word and will such an increase of narrative film/ TV reduce the importance of reading?Growing examples of this trend include the diminishment（减少）of fiction in the common core （核心的）curriculum, the everrising culture of computer games, the wave of streaming services of wide international reach, and movies filled with special effects made for children and teenagers. Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs（使相形见细）the publishing industry.The other underlying question, of course, is "does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?" From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind.There is no greater human feature than the imagination. It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the brain's most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened.Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire, create and empower our imagination. Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind.It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology. In fact, a number of my novels are in various stages of development for film, TV, and live stage productions. My hope is that the written word will only stand to be complemented（补充）by its visual counterparts（对应物）,not pushed to the edge of extinction.Of course, there are those who will present arguments for the superiority of the moving image over the written word. Each has its place. My argument is for finding the right balance between it and the moving image.1、In what way does narrative film/TV embarrass the written word?A.Economic benefitsB.International reachC.Cultural influenceD.Educational importance2、Why does the author value the role of the written word?A.It strengthens our muscles.B.It helps sharpen imagination.C.It distinguishes man fromeach other.D.It paves the way for narrative film/TV.3、What is the author's attitude towards technology?A. CautiousB. SkepticalC.PositiveD.Critical4、What9s the author concerned about?A.The fate of reading.B.The extinction of fiction.C.The impact of the written word.D.The future of the moving image.Text 4UberUber is available in over 70 cities throughout 40 countries worldwide.
