Every time her mom took her to the bookstore, she would buy two books. By the time she went to bed, Lisa had already read one of them. Mom said to Lisa the next day, “I think we need to get you your own library card.” “Wow!” cried Lisa. “I’ve always wanted a library card.” The next day after school, Mom took Lisa to the library to get her a card. The lady at the desk asked Mom to fill out a paper and then asked Lisa to print her name. She then told Lisa how many books she could borrow on her card. Lisa could hardly wait to search the many shelves of books. Lisa loved some books about mysteries best of all. She liked to solve the mystery in her head and see if she was right when she got to the end of the story. Her other favorite books were ones that took her to faraway places. Lisa had three books to return the next day and was excited to take out three more. However, when Lisa got to the library, she didn’t have her card. “Oh no!” Lisa said to the lady at the desk. “I can’t find my library card!” “I’m sorry,” said the lady. “I can’t let you take any books without your card.” Lisa left the library, kind of worried. When Lisa got home, Mom told Lisa that a boy came to the house with her library card. “You were lucky that the boy found your card,” said Mom. “You need to be very careful.” “Having a library card is a big responsibility.” Lisa said, “I think I will keep it in my wallet.” Mom said, “Let’s go back to the library and get those books you wanted.” “Sounds great,” said Lisa. When they got to the library, Mom decided to get some books too. While they were in the library, Mom told Lisa the boy that found her card was sitting at the round table. Lisa went over to him and said, “Thank you for finding my card.” He told Lisa he was glad to help, and they both looked for some mystery books together. Lisa had her books, her card, and a new friend too! 4. What did Lisa do after Mom filled out the paper? A. Check out books. B. Use the computer. C. Print her name. D. Watch a movie. 5. What are Lisa’s favorite types of books to read? A. Adventures. B. Mysteries. C. True Stories. D. Tall Tales. 6. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Lisa felt sad when she lost her card. B. Mom bought Lisa two kinds of book. C. There is a private library in Lisa’s house. D. One of Lisa’s friends found her card. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Lisa and Her Mom B. The Lost Library Card C. Lisa’s Reading Hobby D. Making a New Friend C It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack(缺少) of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to(和……相关) science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack. “Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer. I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary. I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5:00 p.m. or even 6:00 p.m.. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future. 8. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about? A. The writer’s dreams. B. The writer’s future job. C. Dinner plans. D. Wars around the world. 9. What can we infer from Paragraph 1 about the writer’s mother? A. The writer’s mother doesn’t want the writer to major in English. B. The writer’s mother doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor. C. The writer’s mother gets along very well with the writer. D. The writer’s mother doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea. 10. What does the underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Agrees. B. Shouts. C. Complains. D. Smiles. 11. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer? A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son. B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future. C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect. D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future. D Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York---he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose. Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”. Five years later, now retired and with that brochure(小册子) still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts(折扣). The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books---reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members (董事)---included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series. Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.” The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.” 12. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life? A. His health problem. B. His love for teaching. C. The influence of his wife. D. The news from the Web. 13. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library? A. Give out brochures. B. Do something similar. C. Write books for children D. Retire from being a teacher. 14. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood? A. To avoid signing up online. B. To meet Dollywood board members. C. To make sure the books were the newest. D. To see if the books were of good quality. 15. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph? A. He needs more money to help the children. B. He wonders why some people are so busy. C. He tries to save those waiting to die. D. He considers his efforts worthwhile. E Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish(区分) when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond(回应) more appropriately(合适地) to the user. The Jibo robot, which was planned to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver(给出) general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding(提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos. Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential(潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations(推荐) for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. The more interaction(互动) the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not planned to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal. 16. How are social robots different from household robots? A. They can control their emotions. B. They are more like humans. C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly. 17. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3? A. Communicate with you and perform operations. B. Answer your questions and make requests. C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk. D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills. 18. What can Oshbot work as? A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse. 19. What will social robots do according to the last paragraph? A. They will train employees. B. They will be our workmates. C. They will improve technologies. D. They will take the place of workers. 20. What does the passage mainly present? A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing methods for social robots. C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots. 第二部分 英语知识应用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2012, I had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer’s meeting in Orlando, Florida.
