Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say with these robots，rescuers will be able to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot looking like a helicopter，is called the detectorbot.It's about 4 meters long，and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions (作用) are to collect information from the air，and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot has a high definition 360 degree panoramic (全景的) camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr.Qi Juntong，Chinese Academy of Science，said，“The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn't need a distant control.We just set the destination (目的地) information on it，and then it takes off，and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3，000 meters，and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas，a camera is placed in the 40centimeterlong robot，which can work in the dark.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply part，with its 10meterlong pipe.People who are trapped in the ruins，will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will enter production，and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.

Silas Marner (excerpt)
The New Year's Eve Dance
On December 31st it was snowing and very cold.All day there were ladies and gentlemen arriving at the Red House.
Godfrey Cass was waiting at the door for the only guest he cared about，Nancy Lammeter.Finally she arrived，sitting behind her father on his horse，looking more beautiful than ever.Her lovely face blushed as she saw Godfrey come forward to lift her down from the horse.“Why is he waiting for me？” she thought.“I thought I made it clear to him that I'll never marry him.People say he leads a bad life，and I can't marry a man like that.”
But the Squire appeared just then，to welcome his guests，and in the excitement nobody noticed Nancy's pink face as Godfrey's strong arms lifted her down.She hurried into the house with the other ladies to change her clothes.
The house was full of servants running here and there.Mrs.Kimble，who always helped the Squire arrange these parties，was giving orders in a loud voice.Cooks were preparing food in the kitchens，and there was already a wonderful smell of baking in the air.
Upstairs，the ladies were excitedly putting on their best dresses，while talking to each other all the time.Nancy met her aunt，Mrs.Osgood，who introduced her to some visitors of hers.The Misses Gunn were two young ladies who were not beautiful，but dressed very fashionably.
Just then Nancy's older sister Priscilla arrived.She was a large，cheerful girl，with a round face and a nose pink with cold.As they were changing their clothes，Priscilla said to Mrs.Osgood，“Look at our dresses，aunt! Of course Nancy looks beautiful in hers，but this colour makes me look yellow! Nancy says we must wear the same dresses，because we're sisters，although I'm five years older! I'm ugly，I know I am.But I don't mind！” she turned to Mrs.Osgood's two visitors.“In my opinion the pretty girls are useful—I'm sure you agree—to catch the men.I don't think men are worth worrying about.Any woman with a good father and a good home had better stay single.That's what I'm going to do，anyway.We ugly girls don't need husbands！”
Mrs.Osgood stood up and said quickly，“My visitors and I should go downstairs now.Priscilla and Nancy，we'll see you later.” And the three ladies hurried out.
“Oh really，Priscilla！” cried Nancy，when they were alone.“You never think before you speak! I'm sure the Misses Gunn thought you were very impolite! You almost told them they were ugly！”
“Did I？” asked Priscilla in surprise.“Well，that's the way I am.I always tell the truth.But I'm the ugly one—just look at me！”
“Priscilla，you know I asked you to choose the dresses，” replied Nancy worriedly.“I don't mind what colour I wear.”
“You look lovely in this colour，dear child! You know you always have whatever you want in the end，although you never give orders or shout about it.I'm looking forward to seeing you married.It'll be fun watching you make your husband do exactly what you want.”
“Don't say that，” answered Nancy，blushing.“You know I'm never going to get married.”
Priscilla laughed.“I'm the one who'll stay single.And if you don't like Godfrey Cass，well，there are plenty of other young men.Come，let's go downstairs now.”
Although Priscilla was right in saying she was not goodlooking，she was very popular among her neighbours because she was so cheerful and sensible.And Nancy was not only considered to be the most beautiful girl in and around Raveloe，but also one of the most intelligent.
Seats at the diningtable had been kept for the Lammeter sisters.Priscilla was taken to sit between her father and the Squire.Nancy felt herself blushing again as Godfrey Cass came to lead her to a seat between himself and the vicar，Mr.Crack.She knew that if she married Godfrey，she would one day be the most important woman in Raveloe，the Squire's wife.But she repeated firmly to herself that she could not marry a man of bad character.
As she sat down，the vicar，who was always polite to ladies，said with a smile，“Ah，Miss Nancy，you're looking lovely this evening.Isn't she，Godfrey？”
Godfrey made no reply，and avoided looking at Nancy.There was too much he wanted to say to her.But the Squire，who always enjoyed his parties and was feeling extremely cheerful，was rather impatient with his son.He thought he had better speak，if Godfrey was too shy to do it himself.
“That's right，” the Squire said loudly.“When I look at Miss Nancy here，I think she's more beautiful than any girl I've ever seen.”
While they were eating and drinking，people around the table were listening with interest to the Squire's words.“Perhaps Godfrey will marry Nancy after all！” the vicar's wife whispered to Mrs.Osgood.Mr.Lammeter's back was very straight as he looked across the table at his daughter.He was a serious，careful gentleman，who considered the Lammeters a better family than the Casses.He had already decided that Godfrey must change his way of life before Nancy could possibly marry him.
Just then Dr.Kimble called across the table，“Miss Nancy，will you save a dance for me？”
“Come，come，Kimble，” said the Squire，“let the young ones enjoy themselves.My son Godfrey will be angry if you take Miss Nancy away.I expect he's asked her for the first dance already.Haven't you，Godfrey？”
Godfrey was feeling very uncomfortable by now.Turning to Nancy，he said as lightly as possible，“I haven't asked her yet，but I hope she'll agree，if nobody's asked her...”
“No，I haven't accepted anyone else，” replied Nancy quietly with a blush.
“So will you please have the first dance with me？” asked Godfrey，beginning to feel better.She had not refused him!
“I will，” answered Nancy coldly.She was still sure she would not marry him，but she wanted to remain polite.
“Ah well，you're a lucky man，Godfrey，” said Dr.Kimble with a laugh.“I think I can hear the music starting now！”
The guests got up from the table in pairs and small groups，to move into the large hall，where the dancing was about to start.The small village band was already playing，as the Squire led the vicar's wife to the end of the hall to start the dance.They were followed by Godfrey and Nancy，and the other ladies and gentlemen.
As the dance went on，Godfrey felt happier and happier.Holding Nancy in his arms，he forgot all his problems.Suddenly the Squire's heavy foot stood on part of Nancy's dress，and some of the material was pulled away at the waist.Nancy asked Godfrey to take her to a quieter place，where she could repair the damage.He took her to a small room near the hall，hoping they would have a few private moments together.But Nancy sat down on the chair furthest away from him，and said coldly，“Thank you，sir.You needn't stay.I'm very sorry about taking you away from the dance.”
“It's not very kind of you，” said Godfrey，moving close to her，“to be sorry you've danced with me.”
“I didn't mean that.” replied Nancy，blushing prettily.“Gentlemen have so many things to enjoy.I'm sure one dance can't matter very much.”
《织工马南》(节选)
新年舞会
虽然12月31日的天气很冷，而且下着雪，可一整天都有人从四面八方到红屋来。
戈弗雷·凯斯在门口等待着他唯一关心的客人——南茜·拉默特。终于她来了，坐在马背上，在她爸爸背后，比平时更美丽动人。当戈弗雷过来扶她下马的时候，南茜漂亮的脸一下子红了。“他等我干什么？”她想，“我想我已经清楚地告诉过他我不会嫁给他。人们说他生活糜烂，我可不会嫁给这样的人。”
这时乡绅出来迎接他的客人，人们都很高兴，也就没人注意到戈弗雷用强壮的手臂扶她下来时她的红脸。南茜和其他女子一块儿跑进屋里去换衣服。
屋里佣人们在跑这儿跑那儿地服务，金布尔太太在大声下达着命令，她经常帮乡绅安排这些聚会。厨子们在厨房忙着准备饭菜，空气里飘着烤面包的香味。
楼上，女士们一边不停地聊天一边换上最漂亮的衣服。南茜遇到了姨妈奥斯古德太太，姨妈把自己的客人介绍给她，其中有两位年轻女士，甘氏姐妹，她们不太漂亮但穿得很时髦。
这时南茜的姐姐普丽西拉来了，她是个快活的圆脸大个子女孩，鼻子冻得红红的。换衣服时，普丽西拉对奥斯古德太太说：“看我们的衣服，姨妈，南茜穿起来当然漂亮，可我穿起来太老了！南茜说我们是姐妹，要穿一样的衣服，尽管我比她大5岁！我知道我丑，可是我不在乎。”她又转向姨妈的两个朋友，“我想你们也同意女孩子漂亮就容易抓住男人的心，我可不在乎男人。有个好爸爸、好家庭的女人最好单身。我就打算这样。我们丑姑娘不需要丈夫。”
奥斯古德太太赶紧站起来说：“我们要下楼了。普丽西拉，南茜，过会儿见。”三个女人急匆匆出去了。
“真是的，普丽西拉！”只剩她们姐妹俩时南茜生气地说，“你从来不在讲话前先想想！我敢肯定甘氏姐妹认为你很无礼！你差不多是在告诉她们是丑姑娘！”
“是吗？”普丽西拉很惊讶，“嗨，我这人就这样，我总是讲实话。可是看看我，我也丑呀！”
“普丽西拉，你知道我是让你来挑的衣服，”南茜为难地说，“我不在乎穿什么颜色。”
“傻孩子，你穿这种颜色好看！虽然你从不会大嚷大叫或者发号施令，可你最后总能得到你想要的。我盼着看到你结婚，看着你让你的丈夫按你的意思去做，多有趣呀！”
“别说这些，”南茜的脸红了，“你知道我永远不会结婚。”
普丽西拉笑了，“我才是那个要单身的女人，如果你不喜欢戈弗雷·凯斯，还有很多别的小伙子。走吧，咱们下楼去！”
虽然普丽西拉确实像她说的那样，不太好看，可她在邻居中人缘很好，因为她开朗而且懂事。而南茜不仅是瑞福洛一带最漂亮的女孩，而且也是最聪明的女孩。
餐桌边拉默特姐妹的座位已经留好了，普丽西拉的座位在爸爸和乡绅之间。南茜觉得自己又脸红了，她被戈弗雷领到了他自己与教区牧师克拉肯先生之间的座位上。她知道如果嫁给戈弗雷，自己将来就会成为瑞福洛最显贵的女人，乡绅的妻子。可她反复对自己强调不能嫁给一个品行不端的人。
她坐下时，一贯对女士彬彬有礼的牧师微笑着说：“啊，南茜小姐，您今晚真漂亮，是不是，戈弗雷？”
戈弗雷没有回答，也尽量不去看南茜。他有太多的话想对她说。可这时对晚会心满意足的乡绅对自己的儿子有些不耐烦了。他认为既然儿子太害羞张不开嘴，那么自己最好亲自说了。
“是的，”乡绅大声说，“我觉得南茜比我见过的任何姑娘都要漂亮。”
桌上所有的人都在一边用餐一边饶有兴趣地听着乡绅的话。“大概戈弗雷还是会娶南茜！”牧师的太太小声对奥斯古德太太说。拉默特先生在桌子对面笔直地坐着，看着女儿。这是一位严肃谨慎的绅士，他认为拉默特家比凯斯家还要好。他早就决定在戈弗雷痛改前非之前不会把南茜嫁给戈弗雷。
这时金布尔先生隔着桌子对南茜发出了邀请：“南茜小姐，可不可以和我跳支舞？”
“行了，金布尔，”乡绅插了进来，“让年轻人玩他们的吧！你把南茜小姐带走，我儿子戈弗雷会生气的。我想他已经邀请南茜小姐和他跳第一支舞了，是不是戈弗雷？”
戈弗雷感到很不自在，他转向南茜，尽量小声地说：“我还没有问她，可我希望她同意，如果还没人请她的话……”
“不，我还没接受任何人的邀请。”南茜轻声回答，脸又一红。
“那你能否和我跳第一支舞？”戈弗雷的感觉好了一点儿。她没有拒绝自己！
“可以。”南茜冷淡地回答。虽然仍然肯定自己不会嫁给他，可南茜想尽量保持礼貌。
“好呀，你是个幸运的小伙子，戈弗雷。”金布尔先生笑着说，“我想已经开始奏乐了！”
客人们一对对或三五成群地起身走到大厅里，舞会要开始了。在乡村小乐队的伴奏下，乡绅把牧师的太太领到大厅的尽头带头跳起来，接下来是戈弗雷和南茜，然后是其他客人们。
跳着舞，戈弗雷感到越来越幸福。搂着南茜，他忘掉了一切烦恼。忽然乡绅的脚重重地踩住了南茜的长裙，把衣服腰间的部分扯坏了。南茜让戈弗雷带她到一个清静的地方去整理衣服。戈弗雷把她带进了大厅旁边的一间小屋，希望他们能够有一段单独相处的时间。可南茜坐在了离他最远的椅子上，冷冷地说：“谢谢您，先生，您不必待在这儿，很抱歉让您从舞会上出来。”
“你说很抱歉和我跳舞”，戈弗雷走近她一点儿，说，“这样可不太好”。
“我不是这个意思！”南茜的脸红得很可爱，“绅士们有那么多事可做，我肯定跳支舞没什么重要。”

《织工马南》之作品解读
《织工马南》中充满了交织融合的人类情感，强调了生命中爱的重要性，同时揭露了为拜金主义和功利主义所倾倒的腐化、堕落的上层社会。正是生命中的爱而不是金钱才给予人们足够的勇气和能力去面对过去，展望未来。
