Modern scientists have mad great development in building computers that can imitate logical thought. There are two schools of thought on artificial intelligence(人工智能)。 Supporters of “Strong AI” consider that all human thought can be broken down into a set of mathematical operations. They expect that they will one day be able to copy the human mind and create a robot able to both think and feel, with a sense of self---the stuff of classic science fiction. Supporters of “Weak AI” think a computer might seem intelligent, but it is not aware of what it is doing, with no sense of self or consciousness.
Now the development of life---like robots may be closer to reality than you think. Engineers have created robotic soccer players, and bees that act like the real thing.
Powered by a small battery on her back, humanoid robot Lola is a soccer champion. “The idea of the robot is that it can walk and see things because it has a video camera on top.” Raul Rojas, Ph.D., professor of artificial intelligence at Freie University in Berlin, Germany, told Ivanhoe. Using the camera on her head, Lola recognizes objects by color.
“Using this camera, Lola can locate objects on the floor, such as a red ball, go after the ball and try to score a goal,” said Dr. Rojas. German engineers have also created a bee robot. It can imitate the bee’s “waggle” dance which communicates the location of food and water.
“Later what we want to prove is that the robot can send the bees in any decided direction using the waggle dance,” said Dr. Rojas.
Robots like this could one day become high-tech surveillance(偵察) tools that secretly fly and record data.
64. Robotic soccer players mentioned in the text reach the level of        .
A. “Strong AI” technology        B. “Weak AI” technology
C. being able to think themselves  D. having a sense of consciousness
65. How does Lola tell different objects according to the text?
A. By microwave   B. By sound    C. By smell.   D. By color
66. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to “      ”.
A. a bee robot                       B. a robotic soccer player
C. a bee that can use the waggle dance  D. a surveillance tool
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. A robot able to both think and feel only exists in science fiction now.
B. Scientists have created the robots that can play soccer better than men.
C. Engineers have created robotic soccer players and bees that can replace the real thing,
D. Scientists have made great development in recording data in the past few years.

A youngster’s social development has a deep effect on his academic(學(xué)術(shù)的)progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a high chance of stopping attending school. In the early grades especially, experts say youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than alone so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. "When children work on a project", says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University &Illinois, "they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions These skills can’t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills.”
At certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by a home clock but by the outside world. Just as the 1-year-old struggles to walk, the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectations. Young kids don’t know how to tell effort and ability apart, says Tynette Hills, coordinator(協(xié)調(diào)員)of early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey. If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to finish a particular task. The effects of obvious methods of comparison such as posting grades, can be serious. Says Hills, “a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation.”
72.The writer seems to think that a kid’s poor relationship with his classmates would _______.
A.have a lot of side effects on his study 
B、develop his independence but limit his brains
C.certainly lead to his stopping attending school  
D.have nothing to do with his progress in a course
73.The underlined word “spot” means ____________.
A.teach      B.help    C.find   D.treat
74.For most children, school makes them understand_________.
A.that social needs and their own needs have nothing in common
B.how they can meet social needs
C.that one’s effort and ability can be two quite different matters
D.that it is society not they themselves that decides their future
75.Which of the following is most unlikely for the writer to do?_______.
A.To talk to students who have mental problems
B.  To help students develop a feeling of self-respect.
C.To announce a student’s scores in public
D.To keep a student from playing alone
76.Which of the following does a student most need according to the passage? __________.
A.Independence and co-operation.

閱讀文章后,從第54至58題所給A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳答案。
Most people call it "body language" —the clues(線索) to the meaning that we get from gesture, facial expressions, posture —everything that isn't spoken.Experts call it "nonverbal communication," but it means the same thing: a second source of human communication that is often more reliable to understanding what is really going on than the words themselves.
Understanding body language is important to success, whether in the business world or in our personal lives.However, most of our ideas about body language are wrong, according to modern communication research.
There is a belief that people with shifty (變化的) eyes are probably lying.As Paul Ekman says, "When we asked people how they could tell if someone was lying, too much blinking(眨眼) and shifty eyes were the winners.But sometimes people act like that because they are shy.Liars pretend to be calm in order not to be caught.
Ekman goes on to argue against such a wrong belief.Although this kind of body language is probably an expression of nervousness, it is not always because the person is lying.Shyness can, for example, make people shift their eyes.To understand what someone's behavior means, you have to watch them carefully.
There is also a belief that when meeting someone, the more eye contact, the better.As a result people would like to make initial (開始的) contact in formal situations, like a job interview, by staring fixedly at the other human.Yet Ekman points out that most of us are comfortable with eye contact lasting a few seconds, but any eye contact that is longer than that can make us nervous.
In short, you must carefully consider the speaker and the speaking environment.Experts suggest that unless you know about someone's basic communication style, you will have little hope in understanding their true feelings through body language.In other words, body language carries important but not always true messages.
小題1:According to the passage, body language is _____.
A.a(chǎn) language that is not spokenB.a(chǎn) clue to get the meaning
C.a(chǎn) reflection of people's behaviorsD.a(chǎn) source of human communication
小題2:The word "that" in paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A.blinkingB.lyingC.staringD.pretending
小題3:From the passage we can learn that ____.
A.there is no doubt that a liar has shifty eyes
B.people sometimes blink because of shyness
C.eye contact lasting a few seconds can make us nervous
D.understanding body language is more helpful in business
小題4:How many examples are given by the writer to support his point of view?
A.1.B.2.C.3.D.4.
小題5:It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A.body language is trustworthy in telling who is lying
B.body language helps us better understand other people
C.sometimes we can't judge a person by watching his body language
D.the speaker and the speaking environment are important to a person's body language

Career education is instruction intended to help young people identify, choose, and prepare for a career. Such instruction may focus on a person's role in work, leisure, or family life. Career education differs from vocational education, which is designed to teach specific occupational skills.
Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family, in the community, and in schools. In schools, career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses. These activities are designed to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills important for work roles. Career education helps students develop self- understanding and use it to plan their education and working life.
A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school. Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling (咨詢) programs. In kindergartens and elementary schools, youngsters learn about different types of work. In middle schools or junior high school, children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most. In high school, students get more specific information about occupations and life styles. They may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions where they learn how to make career decisions. They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation. Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films about occupations or industries. Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs. A student may accompany a worker on the job. Cooperative education combines classroom study with practical work experience.

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Dick worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Dick improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situation. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to Work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earlier age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
小題1:What did the company where Dick once worked learn from its mistake?
A.They encouraged people to work a longer time.
B.They discouraged people to think freely.
C.They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.
D.They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.
小題2: Creativity is something __
A.that people are born with
B.that depends on intelligence
C.that is a way of using what one has learnt to work out new problems
D.that is not important at all
小題3:Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity?
A.They don’t understand the importance of education.
B.They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C.They pay too much attention to exam marks, language and mathematical skills.
D.They think it more important to remember some information.
小題4: What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A.Try to help them as much as possible.B.Take no notice of whatever they do.
C.Leave them as they are.D.Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much..

Our surrounding(周圍) is being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can’t prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are always ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from countryside to cities, eager for the benefit of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.
小題1:Man can’t prevent the world from being polluted mainly because        .
A.many man-made materials
B.more cars, trucks and buses
C.more people and more industry
D.more cities
小題2:People crowd into the cities because_________.
A.they want very much to find well-paid jobs
B.they eager for the achievement of our modern society
C.they have become tired of their homeland
D.they have a strong wish to become industrial workers
小題3:The story about the airline pilot tells us that_________.
A.man knows where the society is going
B.people do not welcome the rapid development of modern society
C.man can do little about the problem of pollution
D.the writer is worried about the future of our society
小題4:What does the writer really want to say in this passage?
A.With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.
B.Lower the speed of development to stop pollution.
C.It’s time we did something to reduce pollution.
D.As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.

Many do-it-yourself homeowners are interested in
trying out solar power to leam about the technology and
perhaps to provide energy for limited-use applications.
There are a variety of ways to find cheap solar panels
(板), including buying used and building your own
with factory seconds.Both methods will save money
while forcing you to learn the ins-and-outs of a solar
power array (陣列).  
We've all seen solar-powered street signs or PV
panels being used for various purposes at remote locations.
When those units become cracked or chipped and are considered "unsafe", companies are forced to replace them, generally to avoid responsibility issues.Because it's difficult to get rid of PV panels, many companies, if approached, are willing to give them away or to sell them for modest prices.Depending on the degree of damage present, expect to see performance degradation (降級) in the range of 10% to 60%.A multimeter (萬用表) can be used to test the panel before buying.If the panel's free, take it anyway.It could still be useful in a home solar project.
A solar panel is really nothing but a box serving as a container for a large group of solar cells.Factory second solar cells are usually sold on eBay at a small part of their regular cost.The cells come in a variety of sizes.You will need to figure out how much power a single cell produces to determine how many will need to be wired together to form an array.
A simple search of the Internet will show numerous sites detailing home solar panel projects.Do-it-yourself lovers are generally quite generous in supply photographs of their work and description of what went wrong and right with the project.
Getting cheap solar panels with slight imperfections, either used or through sales of factory seconds, is a perfect solution for home-built renewable energy projects.The high number of solar lovers online provide a wealth of useful information.Only limited skills are required, plus an understanding of the basic wiring involved.All are well within the talents of almost any home handyman.Beyond the satisfaction of having completed the project, you'll come away with a functional solar panel that will be a source of power for use around the house or at remote locations.
Solar energy systems are quickly becoming more popular with homeowners as prices continue to decline.
72.The author writes the passage to introduce ____.
A.ways of finding cheap solar panels B.ways of saving energy
C.a(chǎn) way of making a solar panel     D.a(chǎn) home-built energy system
73.What does the phrase "factory seconds" in the passage refer to?
A.Second-hand factory products.  B.Cheap but perfect factory products
C.Faulty factory solar cells.        D.The second best factory solar cells
74.From Paragraph 5, we can learn about home-built energy projects that ____.
A.none of them are beyond home handymen
B.a(chǎn) lot of useful information is available on the Internet
C.a(chǎn) perfect solution is to get cheap and perfect solar panels
D.understanding electrical wiring is not necessarily needed
75.What is the author's attitude towards the future of solar energy systems?
A.Optimistic.  B.Pessimistic.      C.Indifferent.         D.Doubtful
