7．I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room．
There，a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure．Some time later，in steps the doctor，who is also a robot．He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription．I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being．
This scenario（場景）is my nightmarish（噩夢般的）vision of the future，which hasn't come to pass──at least not yet．
I should say I really do like many aspects of technology．I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter．But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over．
When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line，I am thrilled．And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store，I feel like shouting："When it comes to cashiers（收銀員），make mine human，please!"
After all，human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon （優(yōu)惠券） for items you are buying．Even more than that，real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children，which can brighten a young mother's day．A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse．
Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine．But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life．
It is being human that prompts（促使）us to smile at others，which may be what they need at that moment．Call it the spirit，the soul or the heart．It is something no machine will ever have．

28．What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraph？D
A．To indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient
B．To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors
C．To predict how technology can affect the we see a doctor in the future
D．To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life
29．What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humans rather than by robots？A
A．Robots are indifferent and emotionless．
B．Robots don't offer to give store coupons．
C．Robots can't do a job as well as humans do．
D．Services from robots cost less time and more money．
30．What does the underlined word"element"mean in the seventh paragraph？D
A．Humor                                B．The ability to speak
C．Methods                               D．Effective communication
31．What's the main idea of the text？B
A．Being human service cost little money．
B．The opinion about using man or machine．
C．Machines give people a lot of convenience．
D．Being human service is better than service from machines．

6．The other day I heard a few local musicians talking：
"I hate all the terrible pianos in this town．I hate that rubbish they play on the radio．They can't even understand a bit of music．"
"I'm never playing in that club again．Too many drunks and nobody listens to us．"
But，one younger musician said，"There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month，and I'm trying to find other places to play．I'm also looking to book a few summer festivals this year．"
I've heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with，or to put it another way，you are who your friends are．
Attitudes are important．Whether they're positive or negative，they're rubbing off on you．If you're around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians，or blame others，and you play the role of victim，chances are you will start to as well．So it's time to take a look at the people you call"friends"．
This is an easy exercise：Make a list of the people who you hang out with，and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list．Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard．
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better．Ask them how they do it．Ask if they will help you get the work you're looking for，or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path．

25．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？A
A．You are who your friends are
B．A friend in need is a friend indeed
C．How to make friendship last for ever
D．Friends are the most important in one's success
26．The musicians'words at the beginning are written mainly to showD．
A．people have poor taste in music
B．the musicians'living conditions are quite poor
C．young people have greater chances of succeeding
D．people have different attitudes towards the same thing
27．By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7（underlined），you canB．
A．improve a lot in making more friends
B．come to the right way of making friends
C．a(chǎn)rrange the time with your friends properly
D．develop a better relationship with your friends．

4．April Fools'Day is a day to play jokes on others．

3．Waiter，who is in charge here？Where is your manager？

2．假設(shè)你是李華，上周在網(wǎng)站上購買了一款三星 （Samsung） 手機，使用后發(fā)現(xiàn)該款手機音量比國產(chǎn)手機小的多，操作起來不符合自己的習慣，特別是最近媒體上報道了該品牌手機發(fā)生多次爆炸，這些影響了你的心情．你現(xiàn)在給該網(wǎng)站寫封電子郵件，要求該網(wǎng)站按照承諾退貨．
注意：1．詞數(shù)100左右；開頭已為你寫好，但不計入總詞數(shù)．
2．可以適當增加細節(jié)，以使行文連貫．
參考詞匯：音量volume
Dear Sir，
I am writing to tell you that I bought a Samsung smartphone from your website last week．However，after using it I have found several problems．This smartphone has a lower volume compared with China-made types．Also I can't get accustomed to it when operating it，which has caused me much trouble．Especially the news that Samsung smartphones have gotten involved in many explosions has frequently been reported by media recently．All have a bad effect on my mood．
Due to these reasons，I send it back to you in the hope that you will refund my money according to your promise．I will be appreciative if you do so．
Looking forward to your early reply．
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua．

It was my first year out of school and I was spending the year travelaround Europe．Finally，I find arrived in England．I felt very exciting，for I would meet Wang Wei，my best friend in no time．Two month earlier，she had flown to London，that she was working as a waitress in a cafe．I was going to join in her there．When I stepped off the bus，I saw him standing in the street．Screaming and shouting，We fell into each other's arms and danced outside cafe．
There was no happy reunion ever!But we wouldn't feel lonely in a foreign world anymore．

18．Hermit crabs （寄居蟹） live their lives in temporary，second-hand accommodation．As the hermit crab grows，it must find a larger shell for （61）protection（protect）．If a shell is too small，the crab will not be able to move back fully into it and therefore becomes （62）aneasy target of its enemies．
Competition（63）forempty shells can be quite fierce among hermit crabs，especially if the supply is limited．Sometimes，however，the crabs form orderly"chains"，waiting patiently for some （64）hours（hour）to obtain a shell of the right size．
This process begins with a single hermit crab leaving its own shell（65）to inspect（inspect） a nearby empty shell for size．If the shell is too large，the crab will return to （66）its（it） own shell and wait close to the empty shell．As new crabs arrive，they repeat the inspection process．
If the new home （67）proves（prove） unsuitable，they will return to their shells to wait in a queue．
（68）Amazingly（amaze），the crabs order themselves in this waiting chain，（69）whichmay consist of up to 20 individuals，from the largest to the smallest!When a crab claims the empty shell，all the individuals in the queue quickly exchange their shells in order，each crab （70）moving（move） up to the next-sized shell!．
