【題目】【改編】Robots industry is developing so rapidly that there is no denying that we may one day find ourselves surrounded by robots.
The humanoid (human like) robots with two legs such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.
But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.
“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”
While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs.
Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu Laboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡邏) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共場(chǎng)所), are working on this.
Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its stomach to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.
In guide mode, it will check a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”
Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (圖標(biāo)) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.
The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.
Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.
“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.
【1】From the passage we can know____.
A. robots will replace human one day
B. robots are difficult to control
C. robots can do whatever humans do
D. robots will be widely used in our life.
【2】According to Shimoyama, robots are ____?
A. safe. B. friendly.
C. stupid. D. kind-hearted.
【3】What can “Enon” do?
A. Show you to the toilet.
B. Show you around the market.
C. Tell newcomers or tourists direction.
D. Help shop assistants.
【4】What is the people’s concern about robots?
A. Safety. B. Appearance.
C. Weight. D. Disadvantages
【5】What can be the best title of the passage?
A. The disadvantages of robots.
B. The development and use of robots.

【題目】My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids who swim there are fit and strong teens, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his well-being. Still, the firefighter’s first words, “You need to come up here to the Stillwater River,” made me catch my breath.
When I got to the river, I saw Anton sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine, with a towel wrapped about his shoulders.
I hurried over to him. “You OK?” I asked.
“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation. I didn’t get it from my son.
The story was this: A couple in their 20s, unfamiliar with the Stillwater, had gotten caught in the current and began screaming for help. Without hesitation Anton and his friend dived into the water, swam out to the drowning(溺水的) woman, and brought her safely to shore.
In an age in which the world “hero” is broadcast with abandon(隨意)and seemingly applied to anyone, I realized the real thing in my son and his friend—the disregarding of personal safety for the sake of another human being. I know that teens are headstrong and self-centered, but this didn’t lower the gravity of the event and the desire to do good.
Along the way home I tried to get some more information from him, but the only words were, “What’s for supper?”
I thought twice about the tragedy(悲劇) that might have been. Questions flew across my mind like a flight of swallows: Would I have risked my life to save a drowning person? Or would I have chosen to dial 911? Would I have told the story over and over to anyone who’d listen?
The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story from his point of view, now that he had some distance from the event. But all he did was to toast a pie, pull himself together, and head for the door to begin the new day.
【1】The writer caught her breath when she heard the fire fighters’ first words because_______.
A. her son saved a woman
B. she was scolded by fire fighters
C. she was anxious about her son’s safety
D. her son was to blame for a fire
【2】We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. firefighters always turn up in case of emergency
B. parents are always worried about their children
C. it’s dangerous to swim in an unfamiliar river
D. teens are more responsible than expected
【3】Which would be the best title for the passage?

【題目】Tang Zhou and his wife are planning to have their second child, a test-tube baby. His wife had a natural delivery when she was 34 and their first child, a boy, is now 7. The couple are now hoping to have a daughter through a surrogate mother in the US. “My wife couldn’t bear another delivery because of her heart condition and her age. Surrogacy helps avoid the risks to older mothers,” Tang said, “Moreover, our second child will be born in the US and become a citizen there. That is not a bad choice.”
The couple spent weeks researching their move, looking for a reliable agency that provides surrogacy services overseas. Surrogacy is still illegal in many countries, including China. “We will be taking much higher risks by relying on a surrogate mother in China because we are not protected by any regulation or law. You pay a lot of money but may meet with many problems,” Tang said. “You might not even get your baby back.”
Tang and his wife are part of an increasing number of Chinese couples who are turning to surrogacy services. Tang also considered surrogacy in Thailand but dropped the idea after recent reports about a baby with Down Syndrome(唐氏綜合癥) who was delivered through surrogacy and said to have been deserted in Thailand by the biological parents from Australia. Instead, Tang chose the California Surrogacy Center agency as his first option after reading the detailed introduction on its website. Compared with many other agencies that he could contact only via e-mail, the center has a consulting office in Beijing, Tang said.
The center is in San Diego, California, and has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Beijing. According to Liu, the center has been operating for more than eight years, and about 100 surrogate mothers live in California.
【1】“A surrogate mother” refers to a mother who _______.
A. acts as a baby-sitter
B. nurses another woman’s baby
C. offers service to a new mother
D. gives birth to a baby for another woman
【2】Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. Chinese couples prefer to have a test-tube baby.
B. Couples face no risks in surrogacy services.
C. A sick test-tube baby was deserted in Thailand.
D. Unhealthy test-tube babies can be legally abandoned.
【3】Tang and his wife turned to overseas surrogacy services because _______.
A. surrogacy remains illegal in China
B. they call for less money
C. it is more convenient to contact them
D. most of them are experienced
【4】The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. an old woman can take a risk of delivering a baby
B. more Chinese couples are turning to surrogacy
C. it’s not a bad choice to have a baby born overseas
D. biological couples may fail to get their babies back
