Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBaok，Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan on June 20.It is “the first humanoid (类人的) robot designed to live with humans，” Aldebaran says on its website.Pepper costs about $1，600.And like all good mobile products，there’s a $120 per month data fee，as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee.According to a news report，Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create his own using a “multi-layer neural (神经的) network.” Pepper’s touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood，which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest. Pepper will sigh when unhappy，and can go around your house recording your family’s daily activities.Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “joy，surprise，anger，doubt and sadness，” but it doesn’t say how strongly it can feel these emotions.What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it，like many humans，become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone? What happens if it knows that its purpose in life is just to take part in small talk? Thankfully，Pepper is only about four feet tall，with roller balls instead of legs，so if it is angry with and even turns on its owners，you’ll be safe if you can make it upstairs. Aldebaran says in reality，they’re probably quite a few years away from artificial intelligence that could create real emotions.Aldebaran wasn’t immediately able to tell when Pepper will be available out of Japan，but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1，000 units sell out.SoftBank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters，and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future.Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel. 17. According to the author，Pepper _______． A. is very popular among customers B. can not only run but also show fear C. is going to be sold all over the world D. can deal with many kinds of housework 18. How much do you need to pay for Pepper’s data and damage insurance fee each year? A. 80 dollars. B. 120 dollars. C. 1，440 dollars. D. 2，400 dollars. 19. Pepper’s height and roller balls are mentioned to _______． A. introduce its appearance B. tell Pepper won’t get angry C. show that safety isn’t a big problem D. explain robots have strong emotions 20. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Pepper cannot produce real emotions. B. Pepper can feel joy，surprise and boredom. C. Pepper will be sold in other countries next year. D. Pepper is being used as waiters in some restaurants. B A study from 1976 tells us how and why relationships with our neighbors can be so good for us.Surprisingly to scientists at that time，results showed that connection with family members—even one’s own children—had little influence on feelings of well-being or willpower.Meanwhile，friendships，especially those with neighbors，predicted lower levels of loneliness and worry，higher levels of feelings of usefulness and respect within the community. The study suggests that acquaintance and friendship with neighbors are more effective at increasing well-being since they are based on nearness，common interests and lifestyle choices.The neighborhood relationships are also developed voluntarily.Family ties，on the other hand，are often characterized by a sense of responsibility，physical distance，and personal disharmony.Later studies confirm the importance of close friendships for people over 65，highlighting the particular importance of frequent connection. More recent studies show that neighborly support is associated with better well-being for individuals in mid-to-late life.Data about neighborly relationships and general well-being from 1,071 adults aged 40－70 from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the US was collected in 1995，and again from the same individuals in 2005. The study found that those who had little connection with neighbors at the time of both samples，as well as those who experienced a reduction in connection with neighbors over the years，experienced downward trends in well-being，as indicated by feelings of sadness，nervousness，restlessness，hopelessness and worthlessness. It is important to note here the difference between friendship and neighboring or relationships with neighbors.While friendships are based on common affection，neighboring，at its core is an instrumental relationship that is catalyzed by nearness.But it doesn’t have to be this way.Where neighbors are also close friends? The potential benefits are clear.While both friendship and neighboring are beneficial to well-being，they are most effective when the types of support and assistance from both coincide. 21. What does the 1976 study tell us? A. The friendships between neighbors can last forever. B. People ignore neighbors more than family members. C. Neighbors influence people as much as their own children do. D. Neighbors are more influential to people than family members. 22. How does the author mainly develop Paragraph 2? A. By analyzing data. B. By giving instructions. C. By making comparisons. D. By following the order of time. 23. What determines neighborly relationships according to the text? A. Nearness. B. Responsibility. C. Physical distance. D. A common life goal. 24. What is the text mainly about? A. Why neighbors always help us. B. Why our neighbors are so important. C. How neighborly support is available. D. How neighborly relationships develop well. C Many years ago, there lived a poor fisherman. His only companion was his dog. They might be seen walking on the white sandy beach. The dog was always beside his master as the fisherman made his little boat ready to sail. When the man pulled out to sea each morning, the dog would run up on the high ridge(山岭). There he would sit and watch all day. The dog never moved until late afternoon when he saw the little boat return. Then he would race back to the shore to greet his master. As the years went by, the fisherman grew older. So did the faithful dog. The fisherman still went out to sea. The dog still watched for his return, sitting on the high ridge. One early morning in September, the fisherman was getting his little boat ready. All at once the dog began to bark. He circled around the fisherman and tugged at his trousers. The fisherman could not remember when he had seen his dog act so strangely. He patted the dog's back, thinking the dog wanted to play. But nothing made any difference. Then the man climbed into the boat and sailed away. The dog went to his watching place, still barking. There were other fishing boats out that morning. Suddenly the soft wind changed. It began to blow wildly. The fisherman's boat was seized by the wind and whirled around(随风旋转). The sky darkened. Rain began to fall. “It's a hurricane!” said the fisherman. The man thought of his dog at once. Had the dog left the ridge and run home？Or was he still sitting there？The fisherman tried to drive his boat and turn it towards the shore. Suddenly a great wave swept over his head and tossed the boat away(卷走). The next morning, the hurricane was over. The families of the other fishermen ran to the shore. They watched for the return of the boats. They waited and waited, but no one returned. Then the people went slowly back to their homes and started a new life. As they rebuilt their village, no one gave a thought to the fisherman's dog. Several months later, a group of villagers was out gathering sea grapes(海葡萄). They noticed what appeared to be the figure of a dog sitting high on the ridge.” Look” said one. ”Isn't that the old fisherman's dog？” “How could it be, after all this time？” said another. When the man reached the spot, he found only a rock—a rock shaped like a dog. But as soon as the people looked up again, they saw the stone dog. He just sat there on top of the ridge, waiting, waiting. . . 25. Why did the dog run up to the high ridge when the fisherman pulled out to sea every morning? A. Because he didn't want to go home alone. B. Because he didn't like walking on the white sandy beach. C. Because he waited for his master on the high ridge. D. Because he wanted to exercise on the high ridge. 26. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. the reason why the dog acted so strangely B. the situation that the fisherman was getting ready C. the relationship between the fisherman and the dog D. the reason that the fisherman didn't want to play with the dog 27. What does the underlined word “figure” in Paragraph 8 mean? A. gift B. shape C. price D. number 28. What is the best title for the passage？ A. The Stone Dog B. The Terrible Hurricane C. The Stony Ridge D. The Little Stone D Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes，there can be problems. Who hasn’t had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? However，living with another person also comes with many benefits. You know that there’s always someone else around，which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to，so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits，there are some you may not notice. For example，we’re actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others. To examine the effect of living alone，Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food，which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health. However，those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone. What could explain these findings? The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking，food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example，those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with，and thus are likely to buy higher-quality fresh food regularly. Cooking skills may be another factor. If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food，they may fall back on ready-made，less healthy food. However，if they live with at least one other person，they may be able to ask for help. In addition，people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However，it’s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. In other words，roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines. So，if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits，why not consider sharing a home with someone else? You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being. 29. The author uses the first paragraph to _______ . A. introduce the topic of the text B. remind readers of their roommates C. show the problems of living with others D. recall the experience of sharing a room 30. The second paragraph is mainly about _______ . A. the reasons for living with others B. the benefits of having a roommate C. the way of dealing with a roommate D. the importance of communicating with others 31. The underlined phrase “fall back on” in Paragraph 5 means “_______”． A. hunt for B. cut down on C. depend on D. give up 32. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To explain why roommates have arguments. B. To tell readers every coin has two sides. C. To encourage people to have a roommate. D. To persuade people to develop healthy eating habits. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Staying Safe in Hot Temperatures Hot weather kills hundreds of people every year. The World Health Organisation estimates that from 1998 to 2017 more than 166,000 people died as a result of extreme heatwaves. That includes the more than 70,000 people who died during the 2003 heatwave in Europe. 33. There are steps you can take to stay safe during periods of very high temperatures. Many things can affect your body’s ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather. For example, when the wetness is high, body sweat will not dry as quickly. This restricts the body’s ability to release heat. 34. Also, take note of nighttime temperatures. Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much past the highest daytime temperature. 35. So, hot nighttime temperatures put great pressure on the human body. 36. Alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, for example, can weaken the body’s system for cooling itself. On its website, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, explains that some people are at high risk of suffering from heat-related illnesses. A person’s age and weight play a part in surviving high temperatures. People over 65 and under 2 are especially at risk of becoming sick from heat. Your general health is also a very important factor to consider. 37, you must move to a cool place, loosen your clothing, put a cool wet cloth on your body or take a cool bath and drink water. Experts at the CDC say that“everyone should take these steps to prevent heat-related illnesses, injuries, and death”when the weather is very hot. A. If you have health problems B. Since mental illness can bring greater risk C. Some foods can also affect the body’s temperature D. Yet, heat-related deaths and sickness are preventable E. Contact your local health department quickly, if possible F. Our bodies repair themselves at night when we are sleeping G. So, pay attention to not only the temperature but also the level of wetness 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We’ve all had a wrong number text before, but how often do they lead to years-long friendships?

The boy was determined and every day he would wake up at 5 am，summer or winter，riding on his old bike to deliver parcels.It wasn’t an easy job，especially during winter.Besides that，his old bike was slow，making things harder.But that wasn’t a problem for Daniel. Daniel’s schedule was always the same every day and people in the neighborhood already knew him. He called them by their names，and they would often wave and greet him as he passed. It was a normal day and Daniel was delivering parcels as usual.“Morning，Daniel! Check out my brand-new mountain bike！” called out a man whose home Daniel visited frequently.“Morning，Mr Warren! That’s a really fancy bike！” Daniel screamed back at him as he rode towards his first delivery.He couldn’t help imagining what it would feel like to own a bike like the one Mr Warren had just shown him.“My deliveries would double with that，” he thought longingly. Suddenly，Daniel lost balance and fell on the road.He got up and leaned the bike against the wall to see what had happened.He found a nail stuck in the back tire(轮胎) and he unluckily had a flat tire. As he turned around and tried to think of what to do，he saw something unusual.A strange man Daniel had never seen before furtively(鬼鬼祟祟地) looked around and placed a package under his jacket.“Hey！” Daniel shouted at the man.“Hey there! What are you doing? That’s not yours！” The man heard Daniel and started to run as fast as he could. 注意：续写词数应为150 左右。 After having a look at his bike’s flat tire，Daniel quickly started to run after the man.                                                                                                                                                                         Mr Warren arrived on his new bike，and then helped pin(按住) the thief down.                                                                                                                                                                               参考答案 1. 【答案】A 【原文】W：You might catch a cold if you don’t wear a hat on such a cold winter day.

sale.”可知，这个情感机器人上市不到一分钟就卖光了，故Pepper是非常受消费者欢迎的。故选A。 18. 【答案】D 【解析】根据第二段中“there’s a $120 per month data fee，as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee.”可知，每年用于Pepper的data and damage insurance fee为(120＋80)×12＝2 400。故答案为D。 19. 【答案】C 【解析】根据文章第三段中“Pepper is only about four feet tall...you can make it upstairs.”可知，介绍Pepper的height and roller balls是为了表明安全不是大问题。故答案为C。 20. 【答案】A

【解析】词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一句（当这个人到达现场时，他只发现了一块石头——一块形状像狗的石头。）可知，They noticed what appeared to be the figure of a dog sitting high on the ridge. 意思是他们注意到好像有一只狗的身形坐在高高的山脊上。故选D。 28. 【答案】A 【解析】标题归纳题。这篇文章主要讲述了一个渔夫和他的狗相依为命。每次渔夫出海捕鱼，狗都会跑到高高的山脊上等待主人。有一次，渔夫出海遇到飓风，再也没有回来，而他的狗化为了一块石头，永远坐在山脊上等待它的主人。可知，这篇文章最好的题目是《石狗》。故选A。 29. 【答案】A 【解析】根据第一段内容，特别是最后一句“However，living with another person also comes with many benefits.”可知，作者用第一段来引出文章话题——和室友一起住有很多好处，故A项正确。 30. 【答案】B 【解析】根据第二段内容，特别是倒数第二句“Besides these obvious benefits，there are some you may not notice.”可知，本段主要讲的是和室友同住的好处，故B项正确。 31. 【答案】C
