Hold the Scribble's scanner up to any color, and within a second that color is stored in its memory. Once stored, that color can be used to draw on paper or on a digital screen.‎ Who can use the Scribble?‎ Children will love the Scribble because it can create different colors, replacing even their biggest box of crayons （蜡笔）.Besides, anyone working with color in their professional lives, such as artists, will be able to scan and reproduce colors instantly.‎ The Scribble is the best color—Green One of the most important characteristics of the Scribble is that, since it can reproduce any ‎ color, it replaces marking pens, greatly reducing the huge amount of plastic waste.‎ What's inside the Scribble?‎ There will be two different versions of the Scribble, the Scribble INK and the Scribble STYLUS. The INK will be able to reproduce exact colors on paper. It includes a color sensor, 1 GB of internal memory that will store over 100,000 colors, a rechargeable battery, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, a processor and 5 ink cartridges ｛盒）.The STYLUS is exactly the same as the INK, minus the ink cartridge as it is intended for use on screen.‎ How did we create the Scribble?‎ We've been in the design process for two years and the Scribble has gone through various design changes to get it to where we are now. Because of its small size we have created some ideas never seen before in the color reproduction industry. We created the Scribble for YOU and want you to be a part of the process!‎ Thank you for your support Thank you so much for your concern about the Scribble. Thank you also for your support! Make sure to bookmark our website and check back often to see the progress as well as the updated times for production and delivery of your Scribble.‎ ‎21.

I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.‎ Do you remember the night when you almost took my fathers life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were neve going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I patted them on the back so that they could vomit （呕吐）."I'm sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the drivers in advance. “This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have：their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.‎ Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it at all. She never saw him again：And it's all your, fault.‎ I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage. you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring （引诱）the people I love.

What is the tone of the article?‎ A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Humorous.‎ C Fairy tales perform many functions. They entertain, encourage imagination and teach problem-solving skills. They can also provide moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that Al （artificial intelligence） can take to its cold, mechanical heart.‎ The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called "Quixote”（堂吉诃德）. It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.‎ The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives （指令））, the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to. steal, it. But Quixote offers a reward：for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a ‎ punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion;‎ Quixote would work best on a robot that has a very limited function. It's a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.‎ ‎28.What function do fairy tales perform in the robots?‎ A. They entertain robots. B. They highlight dangers.‎ C. They make robots more intelligent D. They enable robots to behave morally,‎ ‎29. What is "Quixote" in the texd?‎ A. A punishment system. B. A character in literature.‎ C. A big name in technology. D. The software educating robots.‎ ‎30. What do the designers expect the robot to do in the experiment?‎ A. To take advantage of its privilege. B. To finish the task most efficiently.‎ C. To perform in a good mannered way. D. To be rewarded by the storekeeper.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can best express the author's opinion?‎ A. Robots will definitely have more functions.‎ B. Robots with humans' emotions are perfect.‎ C. Training robots to be socially acceptable is necessary.‎ D. The development of robots is still in a baby step.‎ D Camaraderie over Competence The importance of liking people is the subject of an article in the Harvard Business Review, which has carried out an experiment to find out who. We'd rather work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both: brilliant at their jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools and competent jerks （性情古怪的人）,we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them；‎ What companies should therefore do is get people to like each other more. The trick here is apparently to make sure staffs come across each other as often as possible during the day. They also should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendliness and break down displeasure. However, more outdoor-activity weekends and shared coffee machines inspire no confidence at all.‎ The reality is that people either like each other or they don't. You can't force it. Possibly you can make offices friendlier, by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two areinterrelated: we tend not to like our workmates when they are completely hopeless. I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I found her to be so outstandingly bad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up not really liking her at all. Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it?‎ By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I think this is a pretty good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is only, one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it.‎ Not only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.‎ ‎32. According to the research, which kind of colleagues would most people tend to choose?‎ A. Nice but unintelligent. B. Creative but unattractive.‎ C. Competent but unfriendly. D. Humorous but unambitious.‎ ‎33. The author talks about her experience to show that A. people respect outstanding leaders B. people tend to like optimistic workmates C. a workmate's working ability is important D. talkative workmates makes offices friendlier ‎34. Some people think that similar people working together may .‎ A. offend each other B. create fewer new ideas C. talk more and work less D. be likely to stick together ‎35. To encourage workmates to like each other, companies could .‎ A. set more coffee machines in the work place B. organize team-building activities outside the office C. encourage a diversity of opinions in workplace D. employ staff who have a lot in common ‎ 第二节（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。‎ Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 36 . However, it is not so.‎ Let's look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.‎ The first experiment is called the '"Hawthorne effect" after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 37 The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation （积极性）and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.‎ ‎38 . After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.‎ She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue- eyed ones because of an agent （化学作用）for brown colour found in their blood. Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she ‎ discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 39 . So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize（同情）with them in their troubles. 40 .‎ A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.‎ B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you.‎ C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others.‎ D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.‎ E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance.‎ F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.‎ G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students. ‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20题满分20分每题1分）‎ 阅读下面短文，结合语境从选项ABCD中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Throughout history, the world looks for heroes in times of uncertainty； But what makes a hero? A cape （披风）and tights?‎ Heroism is something that every one of us can aspire（渴望）to, but not all of us will 41 It takes a special kind of person to be a hero: bravery, compassion, 42 and sacrifice.‎ In a paper published in Review of General Psychology, researcher Blau, Franco and Zimbardo agreed on a 43 of heroism: Heroes voluntarily serve others in need and are willing to make 44 for these actions without expecting any reward or 45 gain.‎ Empathy and compassion for others are also common traits （特质）that all heroes seem to possess.‎ People who become heroes 46 the people around them and are also able to see things from others， 47 . They value the well-being of others.‎ To be a hero, you must have certain strengths. 48 your good intentions, trying to be a hero in ‎ a 49 situation when you have nothing to offer others may be foolish and could 50 more difficulties for rescue workers. For example, first aid training or 51 of kung fu may be useful in certain situations and 52 the path for heroism.‎ ‎"Heroes 53 give us our models of things that we aspire to do," said American psychologist Nick Carden, according to WALB News. It's related to courage, integrity(正直) arid honesty, Carden added.‎ Even if you 54 heroic traits, the right situation must arise in order to truly become a hero. Only when there are dangerous situations can a hero rise up to save the day. This is true bravery；‎ Heroes are needed every day, and we can read about them in the most recent news. There are 55 who run into burning buildings to save the people inside. Doctors and nurses treat sick patients despite the 56 of becoming sick themselves. 57 have changed lives by donating a life saving organ or just doing a favor when there's a need.‎ Even though most of us won't save the world, we can work at developing the 58 inside of us. American actor Cristopher Reve—most famous for his 59 as Superman — said, "A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes 60‎ ‎41.

I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags.‎ My mother had to shop very carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained （勉强维持）us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia caught my eye. The volumes （册） were beautifully cream-colored. Volume I was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase.‎ All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register （收银台）with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia （百科全书）."Could we get one?" I said, showing her the display. "It's only ninety-nine cents."‎ I did not understand my mother's increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount. "Not now, Patricia," she said sternly （严格地）."Today is not a good day." I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset.‎ The next Saturday, my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread―that's what a dollar in 1957.1 went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart （购物车）. I didn't need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles （过道）.A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn't bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively （冲动 地），put it inside my shirt and zipped up my jacket I was tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register.‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. ‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎
