BWhether at 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 when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user. The Jibo robot, arranged 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 general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding 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 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 compan’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and guide them to the produces location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended 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. 24. 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. 25. What can the 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. 26. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots willA. train employees  B. be our workmatesC. improve technologies  D. take the place of workers27. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots. C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots. CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit（联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education. Especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many Languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English. Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000. Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number（中位数）of speakers is a mere 6. 000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that numberAlready well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction（消亡）, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150). Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 28. What can we infer about languages in hunter gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.   B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patterns.   D. They were closely connected29. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Powerful.   B. Advanced.   C. Complex.   D. Modem. 30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A. About 6 800  B. About 3 400  C. About 2. 400  D. About 1-20031. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created. B Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languagesC. Human development results in fewer languagesD. Geography determines language evolution. DWe may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices（装置）well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation—Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids1 room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what’s the solution（解决方案）？ The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.   B. They are no better than the old. C. They cost more to use at home.   D. They go out of style quickly. 33. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 34. Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box-set TV.   B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV.   D. The desktop computer. 35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A. Stop using them.   B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them.   D. Recycle them. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Dream is strength. The strength can bring us wherever we want to get to and it can bring us a lot of wonders on our way to the place in our dreams. Dream is beauty. Maybe you can see the things full of magic and maybe you will be moved by your own dream.   36   . But should we have our life without dreams? Of course not. Everyone has dreams and dreams are especially important to teenagers. As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small, for example, you may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.   37   , what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams come true is the biggest challenge in our life.   38   , or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.   39   . In fact, everyone can fulfill his dream. The first thing you must do is remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true earlier because a big dream is made up of many small dreams. You must never give up your dreams.   40   . But the biggest one comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important and face all these difficulties bravely. A. These kinds of thoughts stop you realising your dreamsB. There will be many difficulties on the road to your dreamsC. Once you find a dreamD. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjectsE.

On the way, they had a car accident and were injured seriously. They were immediately taken to the nearest hospital, where Rosemerry was brought to the children’s ward and her parents were taken to the intensive care unit. As can be imagined, Rosemerry was not only in great pain, but she was also very frightened because her parents were not nearby to give her comfort. Martha, the nurse who attended to Rosemerry, was a single, older woman. She understood Rosemerry’ fear and insecurity and became very devoted to her. When Martha finished her job, instead of going home, she would volunteer to stay with Rosemerry at night. Of course. Rosemerry grew very fond of her and depended on her for her every need. After many months in hospital, the family finally recovered and were ready to go home. Before they left the hospital, the parents thanked Martha for her devoted and loving care and invited her to visit them. Rosemerry would not let go of Martha, and insisted that she come to live with them. Martha also did not want to be parted from her little Rosemerry, but her life was in the children’s ward of the hospital and she couldn’t think of leaving. There was a tearful parting as Rosemerry and the loving nurse said good-bye to each other. For a few months the family kept up a close relationship with Martha— through phone calls only, since they lived quite a distance from her. When they moved abroad, however; they lost contact with each other. Over thirty years passed. One winter, Martha, who was now in her seventies, became seriously ill and stayed in a hospital near her home. There was a certain nurse on duty who noticed that Martha had very few visitors. She tried her best to give the elderly lady special care, and she saw that she was a sensitive clever person. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好；Paragraph 1:One night the nurse was sitting near her elderly patient and they were chatting quietly. __________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:As the nurse’s story unfolded, tears flowed from the elderly patient’s eyes. __________________________________________________________________________高二月考英语参考答案听说1-5 ACABC  6-10 ACBAA  11-15 CCBBC16.

As she grew older, she determined to become a nurse and help those in need—just as that nurse had done for her. Paragraph 2:As the nurse’s story unfolded, tears flowed from the elderly patient’s eyes.  Realizing this nurse was surely her little Rosemerrv, Martha said softly, “Rosemerrv, we are together again, but this time you are my nurse!” Rosemerrv’s eyes opened wide as she stared at Martha, suddenly recognizing her. “Is it really you?” she cried out, “How many times I prayed that someday we would meet again!”
