　　Passage 1

　　Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage

　　Whether in the home or in the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

　　While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish whether someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the users.

　　The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or take family photos.

　　Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.

　　Fellow Robot is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

　　The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

　　11. How are social robots different from household robots?

　　A. They can control their emotions.

　　B. They are more like humans.

　　C. They do the normal housework.

　　D. They respond to users more slowly.

　　12. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?

　　A. Communicate with you and perform operations.

　　B. Answer your questions and make requests.

　　C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.

　　D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.

　　13. What can Oshbot work as?

　　A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide.

　　C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse.

　　14. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will .

　　A. train employees

　　C. improve technologies

　　15.

　　What does the passage mainly present?

　　A. A new design idea of household robots.

　　B. Marketing strategies for social robots.

　　C. Information on household robots.

　　D. An introduction to social robots.

　　B. be our workmates

　　D. take the place of workers

　　Passage 2

　　Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage

　　From the very beginning of school, we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little, we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.

　　One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also, I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”

　　The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.”

　　During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations, I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can't be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”

　　This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.
