21、   Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.

Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners --- the special operations of the mining industry.

One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers(激光器) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.

The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.

The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money had dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities(致命性) have declined by 67% and injuries by 51% , according to the National Mining Association.

Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots will do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but won’t get rid of the need for human workers.

【1】The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog, mainly because ____.

A.it can map abandoned mines B.it can see in the dark tunnels

C.it’s smaller than Groundhog D.it has a real sense of logic

【2】We can infer from the text that __________.

A.the mining robots do most of the mining work at present

B.Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases

C.experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work

D.robots can do dangerous work in dark areas

【3】From the last paragraph, we know that __________.

A.robots in mines will serve much in the automatiove industry

B.there will be no need for human workers in mines

C.robots in mines will have a bright future

D.robots in mines will replace robots in the automotive industry

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Mining Accidents in America B.Robots in Mines

C.Cave crawler, the Latest Robot D.The Future of Robots

22、Our culture sees grief as a disease: a terrifying, messy emotion that needs to be cleaned up and put behind us as soon as possible. We see grief as something to overcome, something to fix, rather than something to care or support. Even our doctors are trained to see grief as a disorder rather than a natural response to deep loss. When the professionals don’t know how to handle grief, the rest of us can hardly be expected to respond with skill and grace.

If we want to care for one another better, we have to redefine grief. We have to talk about it. We have to understand it as a natural, normal process rather than something to be avoided. We have to start talking about the skills needed to face the reality of living a life changed entirely by loss.

There’s no one perfect way to respond to or to support someone you care about, but there are some good ground rules.

First, remember that you play a supporting role, not a central role, in your friend’s grief. You may believe you would do things differently if this loss had happened to you. I hope you don’t get the chance to find out. This grief belongs to your friend. Follow their lead.

In fact, one of the best things you can do for a grieving friend is anticipating(预测) his needs. Don’t say, “Call me if there’s anything I can do,” because your friend will not call. Instead, make concrete offers: “I will stop by each morning on my way to work and take the dog for a quick walk.” Then show up and do it. Of course, the real work of grieving is not something you can do for your friend, but you can lessen the burden of everyday life. Assist in small, ordinary ways， such as taking in the mail, or shoveling snow. These tasks are evidence of love.

Above all, show your love. Say something. Do something. Be willing to stand beside the gaping hole that has opened in your friend’s life. Listen. Be there. Love. Love is the only thing that lasts.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A．Grief is a disease.

B．How to handle grief.

C．Response to deep loss.

D．General views about grief.

【2】What is the author’s opinion on grief?

A．He believes it can be avoided.

B．He thinks it is a deadly disease.

C．He thinks it is natural and we should face it.

D．He believes that it can be understood only by doctors.

【3】What does the underlined word “concrete” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Specific.

B．External.

C．Financial.

D．Complete.

【4】What does the author think is the most important when comforting grieving friends?

A．Following their lead.

B．Showing your love to them.

C．Giving them a lot of money.

D．Accompanying them all day long.

23、   When Peter Fortune was ten years old, grown-up people used to tell him he was a “difficult” child. He never understood what they meant. He didn’t feel difficult at all. He didn’t throw milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his granny’s ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasn’t noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew.

His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?

It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. ___①___ Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts.

Now, grown-ups like to think they know what’s going on inside a ten-year-old’s head. And it’s impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summer’s afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at the sky. “Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about?” they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.” Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldn’t hear it or see it or feel it. They couldn’t tell Peter to stop it, because they did not know what it was he was doing in there. ___②___ He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name.

As for being on his own, grown-ups didn’t much like that either. They don’t even like other grown-ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what you’re up to. You’re up to what they’re up to. ___③___ Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen...

The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesn’t say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones who don’t know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. ___④___ Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quite different.

【1】Which of the following would Peter be most likely to do?

A．To sleep in the tent with his friends.

B．To break the neighbor’s fence for fun.

C．To tie a dirty dustbin to a dog’s tail.

D．To walk around a lake for quite a while.

【2】Where can the sentence “You have to join in, or you’ll spoil it for everyone else.” most probably be put?

A．①

B．②

C．③

D．④

【3】What is the main reason that Peter was considered “difficult” by grown-ups?

A．He was far from communicative.

B．He turned a deaf ear to others.

C．He did not do well in his studies.

D．He preferred to live on his own.

【4】What might the author continue to write about in the following part?

A．Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups.

B．How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others.

C．Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well.

D．Effective measures to help Peter out.

24、When you think of a typical American, who do you picture? A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift? Or a handsome black American like basketball star Kobe Bryant? In fact, there was a time when the average American looked like neither of these people.

Back in the year 1500, the average American was a brown-skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. Today, the ancestors of these people—who usually identify themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iriquois. Apache and Navajo—are broadly referred to as “Native Americans”, “American Indians” or simply “Indians”.

There’s a chance that you’ve never even heard of American Indians. That’s because there aren’t very many left. When the European settlement of North America began, there was intense (激烈的) conflict between settlers from overseas and these native people. After the British government and military were expelled in the Revolutionary War, conflicts with natives continued as the states were created that would later make up the US.                           In these conflicts, millions of natives were killed.

In 1830, former US president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act required all Indians to migrate to west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US. American Indians were treated as a military “enemy” until 1924, when the few Indians still alive at that point we granted US citizenship. That was the first time that the US government formally recognized the rights of Indians.

While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one, their legacy is still felt every day in the US. Many US geographical names come from Indian languages, such as Ohio, Topeka, Kansas and the Potomac River. At the same time, there are many successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended from Indians. And nowadays, more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indian suffered during the settlement of the US.

Although what happened can not be undone, we can learn at least one thing from the sad history of the Indians: If we want a better future, we must look carefully and honestly at the past.

【1】What is the article mainly about?

A．The history of the settlement of the US.

B．What a typical American is lie.

C．American Indians’ economic impact on the US

D．The sad story of American Indians.

【2】It can be concluded from the text that in the middle of the 19th century, American Indians ________.

A．were required to live along the Mississippi River

B．were finally granted US citizenship

C．were regarded as a military “enemy” of the US

D．were expelled from the US by the British government

【3】What can we learn about American Indians from the article?

A．American youths are becoming more informed of the suffering of the Indians.

B．The majority of them lived in the states of Ohio and Kansas.

C．Some of their languages are still used today.

D．There are few influential American Indians in US history.

【4】What is the authors attitude toward the history of American Indians?

A．He doesn’t have much interest in it.

B．It’s miserable to be reminded of it.

C．Every school in US should teach classes about it.

D．It’s important to learn from it.
