A mid-life crisis woman,I got a chance to study abroad.I only wanted to learn about global business,taste South American cuisine,and check"study abroad"off my wish list. On the fifth day,I joined a group for a neighborhood work project aided by the anti-poverty ( organization.Our tasks were to build a water tower and paint the community center.Upon arrival,I couldn't believe my eyes.It was like a scene out of a horrible film.That moment redefined poverty for me because I had never seen such terrible living conditions As advised,I showed no signs of the emotional battle going on inside me Just as I was about to start work on painting,a request came through for a few volunteers to help Nadia,a local resident who volunteered to cook for us.I raised my hand to help because I wanted spend time with the people of the neighborhood despite my shortage of Spanish speaking skills.

C Plenty of scientific work proves that children,and even adults,who learn sign language,gain the benefits not only in the ability to communicate with other sign language users,but also in the wider academic world. Deaf children who learn sign language at an early age tend to perform better academically.This is partly due to their increased ability to communicate with those around them.However,it is also because sign language is not, as many peopte mistakenly think,a system of gestures representing words,but a complete and complex language system.Thus,children who learn sign language have already learnt about the way language works,which will help in tuture studies. Again,for non-deaf children and adults who learn sign language,the academic advantages spill over into social and cultural ones.Firstly,learning sign language allows the speaker to communicate with a whole new community of people and gain an understanding of how they communicate within their community.Secondly, learning a language gives rise to greater confidence for that person,as he is able to communicate with someone who may struggle to do so.And the skills of language learning can easily be applied to learning other languages but also to other academie pursuits. There can be no doubt that learning sign language is a useful endeavour for anyone-whether they are deaf themselves and live in a house with other deaf people or whether they are non-deaf and do not know anyone who is.The social,cultural and academic advantages of learning this complex language are diverse and should not be taken lightly.And,especially with children,learning a language which helps people with a disadvantage may 英语试卷·第4页（共8页） encourage them in the future to do more-volunteering and other such work.This means that the non-deaf child can be given a sense of social responsibility at an early age and taught to embrace()all people-not in spite of their differences but because of them. 28.What is sign language according to the author? A.It is a creative way of expressing ideas B.It is a complete complex language system. C.It is a primary language of disabled people. D.It is a system of gestures representing words. 29.What does the underlined word"endeavour"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Attempt B.Experiment C.Incident D.Assessment 30.What quality can a non-deaf child who learns sign language acquire? A.Being reliable.B.Being persistent. C.Being responsible. D.Being diligent. 31.What conclusion can we draw from the text? A.Learning sign language brings people an advantage of finding a future job. B.The numerous advantages of learning sign language should be taken seriously. C.Non-deaf children should learn sign language due to the differences of the deaf people. D.It's unnecessary for non-deaf person who doesn't know any deaf people to learn sign language. D The new e-skin improves tasks requiring accuracy and force control,overcoming a big challenge in advancing technology.Unlike traditional e-skins,this new e-skin stays accurate even when it stretches."Much like human skin has to stretch and bend as we move,so does e-skin,"explains Nanshu Lu,a professor in the Cockrell School. The breakthrough lies in an innovative hybrid response pressure sensor that Lu and her partners have developed over years.Lu sees the stretchable e-skin as an important part of a robot hand that can mirror the softness and sensitivity of a human hand.This new e-skin technology senses pressure from contact,letting the attached machine know how much force to use to,for example,hold a cup or touch a person.In demonstrations, the new e-skin allowed the robot hand to adapt to various sensitive tasks,such as accurately measuring human pulse (and pulse waves,securely holding objects without dropping them and even handling unexpected items like coins inside a glass or pressing on a potato chip without breaking it. Lu and her team are currently exploring potential applications,including partnering to build a robotic arm equipped with the e-skin technology.They have also applied for a basic patent for the e-skin,indicating its potential for business use.In a world where the aging population exceeds()the number of caregivers,the need for efficient and gentle care solutions is necessary.Lu believes robots equipped with advanced technologies like the stretchable e-skin could play a vital role in dealing with this global challenge. Beyond medicine,human-caring robots could be used in disasters.They could search for injured and trapped people in an earthquake or a collapsed building.From healthcare to disaster response,the potential is significant. With further development and cooperation with robotics companies,Lu hopes to see this e-skin technology make its way to the market,marking the beginning of a new era of human-robot interaction and care. 32.What advantage does the new e-skin have over traditional e-skins? A.It keeps accurate even when stretching.B.It enables robots to move at a fast speed. C.It allows robot hands to bend into all shapesD.It helps robot hands control with less force. 3.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A..The wide applications of the new e-skin. B.The important development of the new e-skin. C.The major challenge of the pressure sensor. D..The strong function of the pressure sensor. 英语试卷·第5页（共8页） 34.What can robots with the new e-skin do for the global challenge of aging population? A.Reduce healthcare costs. B.Limit global business use. C.Replace human caregivers D.Improve medical care efficiency 35.What is the author's attitude to the future of the new e-skin? A.Objective B.Critical C.Positive D.Disapproving 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。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled"Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner."One reason was:"You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,"while another read: "36With a workout partner,you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (competition.

"Too slow,sister!"I heard Sam shout as he jumped on one foot with ease. "I'll show him,"I thought,and attempted a double jump.What a mistake!My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks,which injured my ankle(脚踝).“Ouch!”I screamed.I tried to wiggle(扭s动) my foot out,but my shoe was stuck.I bent closer to the rock and that's when I saw it:a shiny,square-shaped stone attached to a shining gold chain.It was just lying there on the wet sand,and a few seconds later it was in my pocket. Sam squinted(眯着眼睛看)in the sun.Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket,pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger.I was dizzy,but I didn't want Sam to notice.He liked to tell everybody my business. "Ryan save the mini cola bottle from the school festival!It happened to be perfect for sand art! "Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!"They were antique piglets and cost only 50 cents. My family calls me their"little collector".Some mean kids at school call me"trash girl". Sam and I walked along the main street,the small buildings giving us a break from the sun.Through the window of the candy shop,I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans.A sign on the window's glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace.Very special.If found,call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a picture of the necklace at the bottom of the poster.The necklace-looked different from the one in my pocket,I decided.Rounder,bluer.The poster appeared old and weathered.It must have been put up months ago.We continued to walk,and I noticed four more posters.Someone must have returned that necklace by now,I thought. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Once home,I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things.lost in thought.
