Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to

15、be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe.2 Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest uses are for more skilled work like welding(焊接)，spray-painting and assembling components.3 In Britain robot sales appropr

16、iately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineers now have more experience with robots and are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively.4 It has bee

17、n calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job. 5 It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an enormous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all material published in Japan.6

18、 The reliability of robots is measured in their M.T.B.F.or mean time between failures. This has risen form about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 18 hours a day for two years). One way robot manufactures have increased reliability is to test every single

19、component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small sample.7 The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quality control. One programmed, the robots can work more accurately and consistently than humans, who can get tir

22、第一篇what Makes a Soccer Player Great Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that waywas it through training and practice, or are great players born, not made” First, these players came from places

23、 that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate（效仿）.In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cupthree from South America and three from Western Europe. There has never been a great national teamor a really great playerfro

24、m North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at game at the age of three or four.Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood

25、(聚居区)a poor, crowded area where a boys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool which produced the Beatles(甲壳虫乐队)，had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “bal

26、l” made of rags(破布). And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums(贫民窟)of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common, but that doesnt explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. T

28、 is the least popular sport in North America and Asia32 The word ”tricks” at the end of Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toA “experience”B “cheating”C “skills”D “training” 33 Pele is cited as an example in the second paragraph to illustrate thatA famous soccer players live in slum areas B people in

29、 poor areas are born with some unique qualityC children in poor areas start playing football at the age of 3 or 4D many great soccer players come from poor areas34 In the last paragraph the statement “only one became Pele” indicates thatA Pele is the greatest soccer playerB the greatest players are

30、born with some unique qualityC Peles birthplace sets him apart from all the other playersD the greatest players practice with “balls” made of rags35 The author attributes a soccer players success to all the following factors EXCEPTA his family backgroundB his neighbourhood.C his practice.D his heigh

31、t 第二篇New Foods and the New WorldIn the last 500 years, nothing about people-not their clothes, ideas, or languageshas changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree（可可树）by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the w

32、orld during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where

33、it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine(饥荒)”of 18451846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South Ameri

34、ca to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during th

35、e 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with.36 According to the

36、passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 yearsA FoodB ClothingC IdeologyD Language37 “some” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to A some cocoa treesB some chocolate drinks.C some shopsD some South American Indians38 Thousands of Irish people starved during

Coffee is native to ColombiaC. Coffee can keep one awake.D. Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.第三篇Up in SmokeI began t

39、o smoke when I was in high school. In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriends house, and we were watching a moviea terribly romantic movie. He (the hero of the movie) was in love, she (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking. My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in h

40、er mothers purse, and she gave one to me. It was my first time.My parents didnt care much. They both smoked, and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers dont grow tall, but I was already56”(taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that “fact”. In school, the

41、 teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in the ads were so good-looking and so successful, and the women were-well, they were beautiful and sophisticated(老于世故的).I read a book called how to stop smoking. The writer said that smoking wastes time, an

42、d that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what” I thought, the book didnt say that smoking can take away years of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative effects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on

43、 every pack of cigarettes. I didnt pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy, and I thought I was taking good care of myself.Then two events changed my mind. First, I started to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didnt get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He

44、got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years age, and we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit. “NO more cigarettes, ever,” I said to myself.However, it was very hard to st

45、op, Nicotine(尼古丁)is a drug; as a result, cigarettes cause a powerful addiction. I tried several times to quit on my ownwithout success. I made excuses. I told myself: Smoking helps me keep my figurei.e. I dont gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly.

46、Im a free, liberated woman. I can smoke when I want to.Finally, I ran out of excusesI might say my excuses went up in smoke. I joined the “Stop Smoking” program at the local hospital, which also ended up in failure.41 How the writer started smoking shows the powerful influence of A educational institutionsB ones social statusC
