14、 Susan Boyle was just an ordinary middle-aged British woman. Now all this is going to change.She lives in a house with her cat Pebbles in a tiny Scottish town. Because of learning difficulties, she doesnt have much education. But what she does have is a very good voice. As a kid, she sang in church
15、and choirs and school plays. For a living, she sang at local pubs.When she took the stage on April 10th her hair was untidy and her clothes seemed just one step up from rags. The audience laughed at her.But then she opened her mouth. A few bars into the song and the laughing audience went silent. A
16、beautiful voice was singing I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Miserables. Everyone was amazed. At the end of her song, the audience jumped to their feet and applauded wildly.Almost overnight, Susan became a household name. She won fans and millions of admirers. Her online videos have drawn over
17、 85.2 million hits.Susans story proved the truth of an old saying: “Never judge the book by its cover.” Susan may look ordinary, and doesnt have much dress sense, but she can certainly sing.Susans fans admire her courage, as much as they do her voice. She has experienced mockery and many disappointm
18、ents, but her love for music has kept her going, which is worth anyones respect.26. According to the passage, Susan Boyle _.A. is a famous young actressB. became famous after a showC. used to be a good studentD. is good at dancing and has millions of admirers27. The underlined phrase “just one step
19、up from” in the third paragraph probably means_.A. far from B. close toC. different from D. the same as28.

21、e lifeBMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountai
22、ns are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a
23、sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who
24、 climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, as is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but whe
25、n climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qual
26、ities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills a
27、nd less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.31. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Soccer and golf. B. Skiing and skating. C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering.32. The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.A.
28、 strong emotion B. good way C. better feeling D. enough affection33. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_.A. it has man-made rules B. it is too dangerous for climbersC. it cant bring people joy or leisure D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods34. We know from the passage that
29、_.A. mountaineering has no appeal for people B. physical quality is more important than the mental one for climbersC. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyD. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps35 . What is the best title for the passage?A. Sports in wi
30、nter B. Team work in climbingC. Mountaineering D. The quality for mountaineering CAccording to Pete Singer, a researcher who wrote a number of books on the military, active involvement of robots in battles could worsen warfare by making machines do all the dirty work for humans. He says that humanit
31、y is currently at point of breakthrough in war, like the discovery of the atomic bomb.“What does it mean to go to war with US soldiers whose hardware is made in China and whose software is made in India?” The research predicts that by 2015 American soldiers will be half robots, half humans.It is wor
32、th mentioning that attack drones (持续的低音) and bomb-handling robots are just some of the devices that armies use in battles. Besides having no mercy in battle, robots, in contrast to humans, also cut off living soldiers from horrors.“The United States is ahead in military robots, but in technology the
33、re is no such thing as a permanent advantage,” Mr. Singer said, adding that currently Russia, China, Pakistan and Iran are working on the development of military robots as well. The researcher mentioned that robotics is something terrorists can take advantage of as well.“You dont have to make robots
34、 believe they are going to get 7 million dollars when they die to get them to blow themselves up,” he said.In addition, Mr. Singer mentioned that military robots feature cameras that record everything a machine sees, providing digital video that is uploaded on You Tube in graphic clips, which soldie
35、rs call “war porn”. “It turns war into entertainment, sometimes set to music. The ability to watch more but experience less,” he said.David Hansco, who is a robotics designer, creates robots that have more features of a human. For example, his robots feature synthetic (合成的) flesh faces and have the
36、ability to read human facial expressions and copy them. The engineer states that the main idea is to create robots that can show empathy(移情作用).36. The readers can probably hit upon this passage in _.A. a magazine B. a science fictionC. a newspaper D. a lecture37. The advantage of using robots in the
37、 war is _.A. that they use the advanced technologyB. that they can suit all kinds of conditionC. that they are no longer in fear of war as menD. that they cost less money in the war38. These countries are working on the development of military robots EXCEPT_.A. China B. the USA C. Iran D. India39. W

The future robots seem like real persons with flesh faces.D. The future robots can have a feeling of enjoying the

Synthetic flesh featured robotsDI really hadnt meant to yell at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terribl
40、e mess on the floor in the kitchen.With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.“Ok, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” I was shouting angrily. I mad
41、e for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers and crawled towards them, “Crabby Daddy is here. Ha, H
42、a, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.Need I let th
43、em know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility) by blaming others. Its not my “best self”.We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They dont need perfect parents, bu
44、t they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, I am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book” Then, in our lifetime, couldnt we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consid
45、er them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?41.
