For anyone who hates doing yard work, your new best friend may have arrived. A robot can autonomously shovel snow, collect leaves and cut grass. “We're trying to help people not spend time on yard work,” said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy their free time with their family.” The electric robot can run by itself in right directions with the help of two beacons (信号塔) that must be placed in the yard. The robot includes a camera and ultrasound sensor (超声传感器) that Waelbers said would stop quickly when it finds pets and people. Owners of the robot will need to regulate the values stored in the robot. Then it will confirm the task it's going to take. Before the robot operates by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard — taking it around any obstacles like trees, bushes or mailboxes. By doing this, the robot is taught how long and wide the lawn is, and won't accidentally destroy your rose bush or run to the neighborhood. Once this setup is complete, and the $3,999 robot has been trained on where to cut grass, rake leaves and shovel snow, it operates without any supervision. Waelbers has always loved to build robots and play with electronics. He started work on a high-tech company after his father asked him to make a robot that would shovel snow for him. Waelbers plans to start sales in early 2017. (1)This article mainly talks about _________. (2)According to Steven Waelbers, the robot is designed to _________. (3)The robot would stop in front of pets and people thanks to _________. (4)Which of the following steps should be done in the first place? (5)Which of the following about Waelbers is TRUE？

The law defines youthful offenders (age 18 or under) as “delinquent” if they commit offenses. As for the same offenses, the court would consider an adult as a “criminal”. “Status offenders” are juveniles who commit offenses appropriate only to juveniles, such as truancy from school. Here are a few ideas to help prevent your children from being a delinquent. Keep your children in school to help prevent delinquency. Minor offenses, such as truancy, can lead to more serious offenses. Make clear to your children your expectations about their school attendance. Meet with school officials if necessary. Exercise adequate supervision. Juveniles rarely commit serious offenses while under the supervision of an adult. Seek the assistance of your local service agencies if you feel you cannot control your children. Attend parenting classes, or join a local support group if you are having trouble understanding how to exercise discipline. Educate your children about the dangers of drugs. Drug offenses and addiction can have serious consequences for your children. Let your children know you will not tolerate drug use. Stay informed about drug use trends in children. Get your children involved in after-school recreational activities, sports, community service or other positive activities. Young people with positive outlets for their energy are more likely to do well in school and avoid the problems of delinquency. Know who your children's friends are. Show an interest in your children's social life and peer groups. Peer pressure may have a bad effect on teenagers and young people. Do not allow your children to associate with juvenile delinquents. (1)The court would consider youthful offenders as “criminals” if they commit offenses. (2)You must meet with school officials to prevent your children from delinquency. (3)If you cannot control your children, ask for help from the local service agencies. (4)Inform your children that you will not tolerate drug use. (5)Children always involving in positive activities are more likely to do well in school and avoid the problems of delinquency.

Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have children. Several years ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longer considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples consider that they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all. According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%). In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children — a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). These days, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women who had given birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006. The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America today. This comprises 20% of the children's population compared to only 10% around fifty years ago. (1)Several years ago, people thought that having big families was________________ (2)By 1986, taken together, women were still more likely to have had ________children. (3)In recent years, women were more likely to have had _________. (4)According to the passage, we can predict that the number of family with a single child will ______________. (5)Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

Learning to drive isn’t as simple as people think. First, you need a good teacher. It’s better to have lessons from a qualified driving instructor. These lessons are expensive, however, but it is worth the money. Proper instructors have special cars, with extra mirrors and special controls, such as an extra brake pedal. They can use this if you have problems and stop the car themselves. This gives you confidence when you’re learning. As well as worrying about how to use all the controls, looking in the mirrors and deciding where you’re going, you have to work out what other drivers are doing. That’s why it’s better to learn to drive in the countryside on quiet roads rather than busy roads in town centers. You shouldn’t spend too long on your first lessons, as there’s a lot to remember. It’s better to start with two or three one-hour lessons a week, then have one two-hour lesson a week after that. Of course, you also need to get as much extra practice as possible. Ask patient people to help you though. Then you need to decide on the route before you set off. It’s also a good idea to discuss what you want to practise each time. Make it clear you don’t want any surprises. Concentrate on one thing at a time and you’ll quickly become a confident driver. 综合题 (20 分) (1)Lessons from a qualified driving instructor are usually cheap. (2)It’s better to learn to drive in town centers. (3)Proper instructors can stop the car themselves when you have problems. (4)You shouldn’t spend too much time on your first lessons. (5)It is better to practice as many as things each time when you learn to drive.

Ten workers in China pushed their boss’s car three miles home after an office party because they were all too drunk to drive. The group was enjoying a meal at a restaurant in downtown Changchun, Jilin Province (northeast China). When the party was over, Boss Zhang Fei found that he was too drunk to drive. Then suddenly they realized nobody had stayed sober enough to drive his car. Drink-driving was listed as a dangerous offence in China in 2014, esp. when the driver is drunk. Those who break the law will have their driving license revoked, face a heavy fine and may be put in jail. Zhang did not want to leave his car downtown and it was too late to call out another driver to drive the car for him. Someone then suggested they push the car home, and said that the exercise would do them all good. Thus, all ten quickly agreed and set off with Zhang at the wheel. All ten workers pushed their boss’s car home through the city streets, laughing and singing during the 45-minute journey. Passers-by were shocked to see the group. Traffic officers said that as long as the car’s engine was not running, it would not be classed as drink-driving under the law. However, it is still very dangerous for so many people to push the car along the road, as it may cause traffic accidents. 综合题 (20 分) (1)_______ workers in China pushed their boss’s car home in ______ minutes. (2)Drink-driving was listed as a dangerous offence in China in ______. (3)Those who break the law may ________. (4)People pushing the car along the road would not be classed as drink-driving because ______. (5)We can infer from the passage that drink-driving ______ the law.

The term “lifelong learning” is very popular nowadays. It describes the need for people to continue their education and training throughout their lives. Lifelong learning is more and more important for everyone because people are now facing different career choices in changing economies. It is believed lifelong learning is a crucial response to the challenges of the global knowledge economy. Currently, most universities have reacted to the era of lifelong learning by adding new programs and services for adults who seek to combine employment with part-time study. Special arrangements have been developed for these students but the core activity of the university, providing teaching to full-time young undergraduates, often goes on much as before. Lifelong learning is both formal and non-formal; and the boundaries between face-to-face teaching and distance education are increasingly blurred. By making learning possible anytime and anywhere, distance education is a powerful tool for supporting lifelong learning. Technology-based teaching is creating new educational systems that anyone from anywhere can access. The key challenge for universities is to evolve from a teacher-centered model of education to student-centered model. The challenge for governments is that they have to develop new funding approaches and new quality assessment procedures. 1.The term “lifelong learning” describes the need for people to continue their education and training in a certain period of their lives. 2.The challenges of the global knowledge economy bring the needs for lifelong learning. 3.Lifelong learning is non-formal. 4.The universities should make the classroom student-centered. 5.To develop a new quality assessment system is a challenge for the government.

Every year in different countries around the world, a small number of people win huge prize in lotteries. People are always dreaming of winning billions of dollars overnight in a lottery. People often wonder what they would do if they have got one of these large sums of money. They have many different ideas. Some people say they would give it away to charities. Others say they would send most of it to their families. Some people just list all the things they would buy. One evening several friends were talking about what they would do if they won billions of dollars. “What would you do,” the first man asked the others, “if you woke up one morning and discovered you had won five billion dollars?” His friends thought for a few minutes, and then one of them said, “I'd buy the biggest house in the world or maybe I'd buy several houses in different parts of the world so I would go and live anywhere I like. They would all have to have wonderful views, of course, and I'd employ at least fifty servants to look after me and take care of all my beautiful gardens.” The other one said, “I'd spend my life traveling around the world. I would go to North and South America, Africa, and all over Europe and anywhere else I wanted to. I'd stay at the best hotels. I'd eat only the most expensive food and wear the finest clothes.” The men tended to the first man who asked the question. “And what about you? What would you do if you woke up one morning to discover you had won five billion dollars?” The man laughed and said: “Oh, I'm a greedy person. I'd go back to sleep and try to win another five billion.” According to the passage, people are all dreaming of winning a lot of money in _______.

Every day, the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300 million copies of daily papers, over 400 million radio sets, and over 150 million television sets. Additional news is shown by motion pictures in theaters and cinemas all over the world. As more people learn what the important events of the day are, fewer are still concerned exclusively with the events of their own household. As the English writer John Donne put is, nearly 400 hundred years ago, “no man is an island.” This idea is more appropriate today than it was when Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man belongs to some society; and we are becoming more and more aware of whatever happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the life and destiny of all humanity. Newspaper has been published in the modern world for about four hundred years. Most of the newspapers printed today are read in Europe and North America. However, soon they may be read in all parts of the world, thanks to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper publishing. Electronics and automation have made it possible to produce pictures and text far more quickly than before. Therefore, the publishing of newspaper and magazines becomes more economical. Furthermore, photo-copies can be sent over great distance now by means of television channels and satellites such as Telstar. Thus, pictures can be brought to the public more quickly than previously.

As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary(周年纪念), President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion(扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a result, his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation's land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists (自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own.The land's new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there. It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine's politicians who want to protect the state's logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people's jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U. S. Congress before making his decision.However, those who support the president's decision say the establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? Obama has established or enlarged __________ national monuments during his two terms. In national monuments, __________ is forbidden. The phrase “at stake” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

There are stories about two U.S . presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don't know if either story is true, but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said.If he approved of a paper.he would write“all correct”on it. The problem was that he didn't know how to spell.So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook，New York.Van Bnren's friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”. The author______________________ According to the passage，President Jackson _______________________ According to the first story, the term “OK” _______________________ According to the second story，the term “OK” _______________________ According to the second story.the term “OK” was first used _______________________

A question that often troubles food companies is how to control problems like rats and insects without harming the food. Pest control experts say poisons should never be used where they may pollute food. They say the first line of defense against pests is to clean the places where food is handled or stored.Floors, food preparation surfaces and tools can be disinfected with chemicals like chlorine, iodine or bromine. Food containers should be stored about half a meter off the ground and about a half meter away from any walls. Storage areas should be kept dry and clean.Containers for raw materials such as rice, wheat etc. should be kept closed and clean. Any foodstuff split during delivery or handling should be cleared up both inside and outside the building. Pests enter a building from the outside, so pay attention to outer walls. Small stones can be used to cover the ground and block the growth of plants and areas of grass should be kept short to deny pests a place to live.Check that doors and windows are completely closed. Also any hole that might allow pests to enter a building should be filled. Rats can enter through a hole the size of a coin. A mouse can pass through a hole half that size.Supervisors should make a list of pest control measures to be taken by employees. This will aid the efforts and also help prepare for any inspections. In most countries, there is a food and drug administration bureau, or some agency with a similar name, which enforces rules nationwide, is responsible for rules about the use of pesticides, etc. However, businesses where food is stored, prepared or sold must also follow state and local health laws. Most of these governmental departments or bureaus have their website with information about food safety policies and other issues. People can easily access the information. Where, according to Pest control experts, should poisons never be used? From the text, we know that like chlorine, iodine or bromine are all __________ Outer walls are built ___________. Why is it necessary for supervisors to make a list of pest control measures? The responsibilities of a food and drug administration bureau are __________.

The key challenge for universities is to evolve from a teacher-centered model of education to a student-centered model. The challenge for governments is that they have to develop new funding approaches and new quality assessment procedures. Lifelong learning is increasingly crucial because people have to work long hours to support themselves in changing economies. Nowadays, many universities begin to provide newly developed courses for people who want to acquire more knowledge and skills. Along with the trend for providing programs for part-time adults, the main task of the university has changed much. With the aid of teaching technology, people can learn anytime and anywhere. To develop lifelong learning only concerns with the universities.

Caring for the elderly is not an easy task, and there are no hard and fast rules on how it should be done. Here are some tips you can apply to make life easier and happier for both yourself and the elderly person in your care. Establish a Routine. Organize the performance of daily activities in a routine manner, so that they are performed in the same way and at the same time every day. This routine will establish a sense of structure and increase feelings of control and safety. However, this routine can be broken with unplanned events occasionally, as elderly people may find the routine structure too boring and restrictive. Get to Know Them. It is important that you get to know the elderly in your care, their daily habits, likes and dislikes, etc. The better you know the person, the higher quality of care you can provide. Treat Them with Respect. If elderly people do not have your respect, they will feel like they are being pushed around or asked to do things that they don't want to. This can lead to a bad relationship. By treating elderly persons in your care with respect, you can develop a strong bond with them. Besides, you can talk to them like adults, show your love and respect, which will not only make them feel good, but may also gain you their respect in return. Mental Stimulation. It is better to try to keep them occupied with challenging games, like crosswords or chess, which will keep their minds sharp. They like to discuss world events and their life histories with you. This will give the elderly people a feeling of self-worth and make them feel needed. Social Interaction. Organize and encourage social interaction. Remaining connected to other people and the world is important for the elderly. It helps the elderly feel more engaged. Encourage them to talk to other residents or participate in games, discussions or day trips. Help them to develop a strong relationship with a neighbor. It is important for the elderly to talk to others and make friends. The elderly people will always obey the routine structure. We need to know the elderly people more to provide them with better care. We needn't respect the elderly people when caring them. Discussion can't make the elderly people feel needed. It is necessary for the elderly people to make friends.

Many people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. But doctors now say babies can do that on their first day of life. A baby will smile if his or her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care by smiling to please her mother or other care givers. This is when babies learn to connect and “talk” with other people. Babies really talk with caregivers by learning some language skills in the first three years when the place is rich with sounds and sights. Scientists say children should hear the speech and language of other people again and again. The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make sounds. By the end of their first year, most children are able to say a few simple words, although they may not understand the meaning of the words. By 18 months of age, most children are able to make simple sentences. By ages three, four and five, the number of words a child can understand quickly increase. It is at these ages that children begin to understand the rules of language. When do babies begin to learn according to doctors? Babies will smile when______________. What do most children begin to do from age three or older? If children cannot hear the speech and language of other people again and again in the first three years, ____________________________. What would be the best title for the text?

Lily is 70 years old and she takes care of her 91-year-old mother. She told us about caring for her mother. I wake up early every day, it's usually about 6：30 am, and wait until I hear Tilly, my mum, moving about. Then I make her a cup of tea. At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together. We normally just have toast, but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs. After breakfast she reads the newspaper, then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by. She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance, so she goes to the hairdresser once a month. She doesn't like being left on her own for very long, so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out. Now and again, my friend and neighbour, Joan, comes to spend the day with her, and I can go and have lunch with another friend, May, who lives in town. I have a brother, Syd. He comes to stay two or three times a year. He is very good and keeps in touch, but he lives 300 miles away. Once a year, he collects mum and takes her to stay with him in London for a week. She doesn't really like going because it's a long journey, but I need the rest. Sally, the nurse, comes to see mum regularly. My next-door neighbour, Jack, often calls in. In the evening we usually watch TV and we sometimes play cards. Mum is fantastic for her age. But I can never decide to go anywhere spontaneously. I always have to plan it, so I feel a bit trapped. But what is the alternative? An old people’ home? I couldn't do that to my mother? Lily wakes before her mother. Joan sometimes spends the day with Lily's mother. Lilly goes to see her hairdresser every month. Lily's brother comes to visit every three weeks. Lily and her mother play cards more than they watch TV.

Charity is a concept which dates back to Biblical times, when helping the poor was something that rich people basically did to make themselves feel good. Social work has its roots in charity, as it originally began around the time of the industrial revolution when there were many poor people and society was seeking a way of dealing with the poor and social problems. Although social work began as charity work, it has expanded a lot and needs to be seen from a completely different perspective. Modern-day social work deals not only with poverty and the subsequent problems, but also with the problems arising from various types of “social fear” (“social phobias”) and discrimination such as sexism, racism, and discrimination against an individual due to his age, or mental or physical disabilities. Social workers deal with the consequences of these discriminations as well as consequences that arise from sexual abuse, drug abuse, and various other problems. Social work provides an important service to society. Individuals and families in need of help are the focus of it, and are referred to as clients. Social workers help clients live a productive life in their own community. In order to reach this goal, they often enlist the assistance of family members, relatives, local religious leaders, and other influential members of the community. Although institutionalization may be necessary at times, it is a temporary solution. Social workers usually serve in the front line, and reach out to the clients soon after problems occur. The goal is to help clients return to normal life in a natural setting. The charity originally means to_______. When does social work begin? Modern-day social work deals with the following problems except_______. In order to help clients live a productive life, social workers can turn to the assistance of_______. Which statement about social work is NOT True?

The celebration of International Women's Day (IWD) in 2011 was special as it marked the 100th anniversary of IWD. The United Nations’ theme for the 2011 IWD was “Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women”. One hundred years ago, gender equality and women's empowerment were largely radical ideas. One hundred years later, there has been significant progress in women's empowerment and participation through determined advocacy, practical action and enlightened policy making. However, in too many countries and societies, women's social position is still low and lots of women are still trapped by poverty, discrimination, unemployment, illiteracy and violence. As a basic human right, education is a key driver of economic growth and social change and the basis of women's empowerment. The global economy is increasingly knowledge-driven, and requires an educated workforce able to apply the existing technology and to develop new science and technologies to combat poverty and adapt to emerging issues. As education is the key to greater empowerment for women, investing in women and girls through the education sector has therefore a positive effect on the well-being of their families, their communities and nations. Strengthening the bridges between education, training, science and technology and the labor market is important in order to promote equal opportunity to decent employment for women. 2011 International Women's Day (IWD) was special because_______. _______ is a key factor of economic growth and social change and the women's empowerment. Which of the following is not suffered by women in society nowadays? Which one is NOT mentioned in relation to “education equality”? What is the best title for the passage?

The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty. A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was a major barrier to accessing higher education (HE).This is simply unacceptable. Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from non-traditional students, not just about their experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system. Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to equality in access to education. For many students, university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and different people. As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system? Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factor before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity. We need to hear more from non-traditional students about their experience of accessing higher education. Greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at Chinese universities. Equality in society is linked to equality in access to education. For many students, university is the last place where they will get to know different cultures and different people. Students can see the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment.
