Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎(A)‎ ‎ In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back. Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a ‎ robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.‎ ‎ Until now, even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.‎ ‎ To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors and two sensors (传感器）that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.‎ ‎ The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary* It may someday help scientists create better artificial arras and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.‎ ‎ “It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it，s damaged,” says Olaf Spoms of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”‎ ‎61.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?‎ A. They cannot repair themselves.‎ B. The computer has changed a lot.‎ C. They have no computers inside.‎ D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.‎ ‎62. The new technology allows the robot to _.‎ A.do house work for humans ‎ B.keep working after being damaged C.remember a lot of information ‎ D.tell people where it is ‎63. The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 5 refers to .‎ A. sensors B. robots C. arms and legs D. scientists ‎64. How do the sensors in the robol work?‎ A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.‎ B. They can find out where the damage comes from.‎ C.‎ ‎ Wake up late,have a big breakfast and then wander down to the beach for the first swim of the day.A round of golf,a few cocktails and then dinner on one's yacht at sunset.‎ ‎ You might think this is how the wealthy picture the autumn of their lives but in B ritain it seems that this is not the case.A new survey that almost 60% of wealthy people in the UKdon't want to quit working even when they pass the retirement age of 65.‎ ‎ The organization Barclays Wealth interviewed 2,000 people, defining 'wealthy' as those over £1 million (10 million yuan) to invest It found that more people in the UK are avoiding the traditional concept of retirement than in any of the 19 other developed countries surveyed.‎ ‎ Not everybody wants to spend the autumn of their lives at leisure. The group even has a nickname; those who never want to be retirees are called “nevertirees” in the survey.‎ ‎ And their number is likely to grow over the coming years with 70% of people under the age of 45 in the study, indicating that even a golden handshake will not be enough to make them hang up their boots.‎ ‎ “While m previous generations there have always been an energetic few with the health and drive (to keep working), many looked to create their wealth early on in life with a view to enjoying it when they retired/* said Greg Davies at Barclays Wealth.‎ ‎ “This report reflects a different attitude, with wealthy individuals wanting to continue to challenge themselves well beyond the traditional retirement age.” he added.‎ The survey was reported in many newspapers in Britain and it found its critics. “There's no point in working till you drop,” said Iain from Norwich, on the Daily Mail website. “Work to live, not live to work.”‎ ‎ Sarah Harper, Professor of at the University of Oxford, disagrees. She says: “People want to contribute; they want to be doing something. Work gives people status, and at an age when you're incredibly experienced you may want to start a second career or even do something completely different from your previous professional life.”‎ ‎ The survey raises an interesting question. What is it that really motivates us to work? Is it fear of poverty? Or just fear of boredom?‎ ‎68. We can learn from the survey conducted by Barclays Wealth that .‎ A. less than half of the rich British people desire to enjoy retirement life when they are 65.‎ B. most of the middle-aged people in Britain can't afford to retire.‎ C. each of the 2,000 people interviewed has more than 1 billion pounds to invest.‎ D. the UK has the largest number of people in the world that prefer early retirement ‎69. What does the underlined phrase “hang up their boots” in Paragraphs probably mean?‎ A.Lead a busy but meaningful life. ‎ B. Step down from their posts.‎ C. Create their wealth. ‎ D. Develop hobbies in spare time.‎ ‎70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A.A commentator said in the Daily Mail that people should work till they die.‎ B. people postpone retirement because they want to achieve a greater fame.‎ C.The previous generations tried to become rich when they were younger.‎ D. 70% of the people under 45 have no intention to go on holidays after retirement.‎ ‎71. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A. UK rich don't want to retire.‎ B.A new nickname was invented.‎ C. Fear of poverty and boredom. ‎ D. British people's changing attitude towards life.‎ Section C (8'）‎ Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ A. Within seconds I assisted in the formation of a three-level tower.‎ B. Each team is famous for its tallest and most complex tower of people.‎ C. Once a tower is built, try and see if the group can hold it for a count of 30.‎ D.

He is quickly followed by another slightly smaller man who catches my belt and moves Up. Another ‎ follows. Then I begin to move slowly from one side to another dangerously.‎ ‎ A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals in Spain, The activity of making human towers began almost 200 years ago near Tarragona, just south of Barcelona. (72) .It has become an annual event in some areas of the country. Usually it is considered a success once all castellers have climbed into their appointed places. On November 16,2010, castells were declared to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.‎ ‎ Building a good human tower takes team work and skills. It is a formation of several people in which two or more p&ople support a level of higher people, who in turn may support other higher levels of people. Each person is wound into a long narrow piece of cloth worn around the waist to help other people hold tightly when they climb. Typically, the number of the people in each level is one greater than the level immediately above it, resulting In a triangular structure. (73) .At first I'd like to go on top to enjoy the glory, but the club'spresident indicated a little girl who looked as though she had been raised on the top. It was she who had pride of place on top of the tower.‎ For my first try-out I was given the role of second hands. Once I had assumed my position,people began to climb up me to the tower Without warning. (74) My hard work must have been appreciated because I was quickly promoted to support the bottoms of the first level of the tower.‎ ‎ My perfonnance in the “hands” section was obviously satisfactory, (75) .I was really proud of that, since it was a clear gesture that I had been fully accepted.‎ 第II卷（共40分）‎ I.
