It was a shopping trip I wouldn’t forget, because the list was items for my father, who had just been admitted to the long-term care center in our town. A year earlier, Mom and I were told that Daddy was in the middle stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Two months later, he started to rapidly deteriorate (恶化)，not just mentally, but also in his mobility. We could see he wanted to stand and walk but his brain couldn’t transmit the message to his legs. My mother, who was ill, struggled to care for Daddy in their home. Caregivers helped for part of each day. But it became increasingly clear that Daddy was reaching the point where he needed professional care. So that day we helped Daddy into the car for his trip to the care center. As a daughter, I wanted to do something to make Daddy comfortable in the care center. When I was looking for things, suddenly an idea came into my head, which drove me to the toy area. There I bought a cute stuffed black-and-white dog. What a perfect companion for Daddy to have by his side. He loved his dogs and would miss them. So I hoped this stuffed one would help. My dad’s face lit up when I gave him his new companion and he named him Artie after a good friend. It didn’t take long before Artie became the talk of the care center. Resting comfortably on Daddy’s lap, Artie went almost everywhere with Daddy in his wheelchair. One day, I was in the elevator with Daddy, Artie and one of the nurses, Lisa. The first thing Lisa said was, “Artie bit me today.” I looked at Daddy and asked him if that was true. He smiled as he helped Artie “attack” Lisa’s arm again. Daddy still loved to share his snacks with Artie. One could know it when seeing all the cookie stains on Artie’s mouth. Nine months after Daddy entered the care center, he passed away. Artie was in bed with him. Artie now sits on a shelf in my home next to many of Daddy’s things. I remember all the joy Artie brought to Daddy in the midst of Daddy’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease. It was Artie that accompanied Daddy to happily get through that period of darkness.
1. The author sent her father to the care center because ___________. A. it was costly to hire caregivers B. her father’s health condition got worse C. her mother was too weak to look after her father D. the care center promised to treat her father for free 2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. The nurse was injured by Artie B. Artie loved to eat snacks very much C. Dad tended to treat Artie as a real dog D. Dad was often misunderstood by others
3. What’s the best title for the paragraph? A. The power of true love B. The importance of miracles C. The admiration for a real hero D. The bright light in the darkness

Six volunteers are about to find out what it would be like to live on Mars without ever leaving the Earth. Three men and three women will spend eight months living in a special place on the side of a volcano in Hawaii. They are part of an experiment that is designed to mimic（模仿）life on Mars. Their mission began on October 15, 2014. NASA says it could send astronauts to Mars as early as the 2030s. The mission would take more than two years, so NASA needs to know how people would react to living in a small group, isolated from the rest of the world, for such a long time. Some people may become depressed or bored living under those conditions. By studying people living in similar conditions here on Eares NASA hopes to learn how to choose the most suitable people for a space mission, and how to help them get along. They will live in a two-story building. The ground floor is about 86 square meters, roughly the size of a small two-bedroom apartment. It includes shared areas like kitchen, dining room, bathroom, laboratory and an exercise room. The upstairs is less than half the size of the downstairs. It contains another bathroom and six small bedrooms. The building is located in an abandoned quarry（采石场）about 2,400 meters up the side of Mauna Loa, the second biggest volcano in the world. It is constantly monitored for signs of volcanic activity. NASA chose the location because the appearance looks very similar to Mars. To make it more like being on Mars in the future, they are only able to communicate by email during the experiment. Meanwhile, there will be a 20-minute delay between the time when a message is sent and that when it is received. When they go outside, they will have to suit up in full spacesuits, just as if they were on Mars. The commander is Martha Lenio, a 34-year-old Canadian. During the mission, she will run experiments on growing food. The other members have backgrounds in physics and so on. None of them are astronauts.
4. When will the six volunteers end their mission about mimicking life on Mars? A. On June 15, 2015. B. On October 15, 2015. C. On October 15, 2030. D. On June 15, 2032. 5. What’s the main purpose of the experiment? A. To monitor signs of volcanic activity. B. To prepare for a space mission to Mars. C. To train the six people to become astronauts. D. To study the difference between men and women.
6. Mauna Loa was chosen as the experimental site because ___________. A. it is located near a rocket base B. other people can hardly find the location C. its landscape is so much like that of Mars D. it is a safe place to conduct the experiment 7. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Martha is a famous expert on agriculture. B. The six volunteers will be sent to Mars in 2030.
C. All the experimental activities are done in doors. D. It takes about 40 minutes to get a reply to an email.
C
China is starting to blacklist poorly-behaved tourists as it seeks to rescue the image of its citizens as holidaymakers. According to a regulation by the China National Tourism Administration (NTA) that entered effect this week, tourists will be blacklisted for offences including acting antisocially on public transport, damaging private or public property, disrespecting local customs, damaging historical exhibits on purpose or engaging in gambling or pornographic activities. Records will be kept in a two-tired system: provincial-level tourism authorities are responsible for cases under their jurisdiction（管辖区域）while the NTA will be in charge of a nationwide register. People will be blacklisted for two years after they offend, according to the regulation. The NTA said tourism authorities will inform blacklisted tourists and “propose correction measures in order to mitigate the negative impact”. It also said that tourism authorities reserve the right to report such violations to public security, customs and transport authorities as well as the central bank’s individual credit department. The regulation comes amid (在……之中) growing concern about the ill manners of Chinese tourists both at home and abroad. In 2013, a Chinese tourist wrote his name on a relief carving in Luxor, Egypt. In December, a Chinese passenger threw a cup of hot instant noodles at a flight attendant on an international flight. Chinese tourists have been fined or put into prison for carrying prohibited items or purchasing wild animal products.
8. The underlined word “mitigate” in the third paragraph probably means ________. A. neglect B. relieve C. deepens D. prevents
9. According to the passage, the main purpose of the regulation is to ________. A. punish the Chinese poorly-behaved tourists B. suggest correct measures to the Chinese poorly-behaved tourists C. showcase the authority of the China National Tourism Administration (NTA) D. better the image of Chinese citizens as holidaymakers
10. The main method the author uses to develop the last paragraph is ________. A. providing explanations B. offering analyses C. giving examples D. making comparisons 11. The text is most likely to appear in ________. A. a newspaper B. a tourist guide C. a travel brochure D. a geography textbook
D
Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way. Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”
Well, maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There’s a terrible thought! Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals, the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you. It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm. I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!.
12. The author quoted Bill Gates’ words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text____________． A. better-known B. better-organized C. more persuasive D. more interesting
13. An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because _______________． A. it is much cleverer than us B. it would take over the world C. it has the strong feeling of destroying us D. it would see us just as material 14. How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics? A. Disappointed B. Sympathy C. Optimistic D. Regretful 15. What does the text mainly focus on? A. The benefits of future robots． B. The new applications of robots． C. The concern for super intelligence． D. The popularity of robots in the future．
