However, it's not easy for old people. Therefore, buy-for-you shops are becoming popular among the old.    Mr. Li, a 65-year-old man, is crazy about this way of shopping. He says, "I can't use the Internet. After I happened to find a buy-for-you shop, I decided to try. Finally I got what I wanted. I was so happy."    The shopkeeper Mu Lan says she started the business of offline buy-for-you in order to help people like Mr. Li. In only about ten days since the start of the business, she has received more than 20 orders from customers. Mu Lan is not the only one who finds the large need of offline buy-for-you business in the market. In her city, over 300 such shops opened their doors only in April.    In order to attract more customers, they have opened their shops in communities. And they charge a suitable service fee(费用). For example, when buying things that cost less than 200 yuan for customers, they usually get 5 yuan as service fee.    What if there is any problem with the ordered thing, let's say, like a quality problem? The shopkeepers say they will deal with any quality problems if people use their buy-for-you service.45. What does a buy-for-you shop do?   A. It sells things you need.                B. It sells things to the old people.   C. It buys things in shopping malls for you.   D. It buys things online for you.46.

They are popular among old people.48. What can we know from the article?   A. Mr. Li is crazy about online shopping.    B. buy-for-you business is in great need.   C. Mu Lan is the first to start the business.   D. there're 300 buy-for-you shops in the city.C    Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.    He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. "Well," the trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free."    How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.    Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cann't do something, just because we failed at it once before?                                  . We should' never give up the struggle(挣扎)in life.49. What did the writer see in the village?   A. Chains.          B. Elephants.        C. Cages.          D. Farmers.'50. Why do the elephants never try up to break free from the ropes?   A. Because they think they can not.         B. because they are too old to do it.   C. Because they like their living places.      D. Because they get on well with the trainer.51. How did the man feel after he heard what the trainer said?   A. Moved.           B. Angry.          C. Surprised.       D. Nervous52. Which of the following is the missing part in the last paragraph?   A. Traveling always makes people relaxed.   B. We should be different from others:   C. Helping animals is helping ourselves.     D. Failing is part of learning.第五部分 信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(It's 6:30 p. m.

These robots are just like humans. They help with the housework and do the most unpleasant jobs.    Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots. The robots look like people and can do the same things as us. Japanese companies have already made robots walk and dance. This kind of robots will also be fun to watch.    But robot scientist James White disagrees. He thinks that it will be hard for a robot to do the same things as a person. For example, it's easy for a child to wake up and know where he or she is. Mr. White thinks that robots won't be able to do this. But other scientists disagree. They think that robots will he able to talk to people in 25 to 50 years.    Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots looking like people. For example, there are already robots working in factories. These robots look more like huge arms: They do simple jobs over and over again. People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored. But robots will never get bored.    In the future, there will be more robots everywhere, and humans will have less work to do. Now robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like snakes. After an earthquake, a snake robot could help to look for people under buildings. That may not seem possible now, but computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred years ago. We never know what will happen in the future.73. According to some scientists, when will robots be able to talk to people? (1分)74. Why are people unwilling to do simple jobs over and over again? (2分)75. Do you think robots will do everything in the. future? Why or why not? (3分) 第九部分 书面表达(共1小题; 满分20分)    Have you ever visited a zoo? Write a story about your trip to the zoo.
