They did pretty well on all of the tests and the midterms and labs, etc. , such that going into the final they had a solid “A“. These t
15、wo friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals week, even though the Chemistry final was on Monday, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and have a party with some friends up there. So they did this and had a great time. However, with the aftereffects
16、 of alcohol and everything, they overslept all day Sunday and didn t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, what they did was to find Professor Aidric after the final and explain to him why they missed the final. They told him that they went up to UVA for
17、 the weekend, and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire(爆胎)on the way back and didn t have a spare and couldn t get help for a long time and so were 1ate getting back to campus. Aldric thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final on the following
18、day. The two guys were overjoyed and relieved. So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Aldric had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin. They looked at the first problem, which was something simple abou
19、t free radical formation and was worth 5 points. “Cool, “ they thought, “this is going to be easy. “They did that problem and then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page. It said:(95 points)Which tire was flat?（分数：10.00）(1).The two students decided to visi

23、dricB.the two students had difficulties in their studiesC.Professor Aldric was very clever and humorousD.the two students would surely pass the make-up examA large, detached(独立的)house not only ensures privacy. It is also a status symbol. The “magnificent home“ is set in a big garden. Of course, this
24、 kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people. But even a small detached house, surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people. Most people would be happy to live in a cottage(村舍), and if this is a thatched(茅草的)cottage,
25、 suggestive of a pre-industrial age, so much the better. Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats(what the Americans call “apartment blocks“). Flats, they feel, provide the least amount of privacy. With a few exceptions, mostly in certain locations in central London, flats are the cheapes
26、t kind of home. The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else. The dislike of living in flats is very strong. In the 1950s millions of poorer people lived in old, cold, uncomfortable nineteenth century houses, often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom. During
27、the next twenty years many of them were given new “ high rise“ blocks of flats to live in which, with central heating and bathrooms, were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces. But people hated their new homes. They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floor
28、s up. They missed the neighborliness. They couldn t keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely green spaces. The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken. The lifts didn t work. The corridors were dark. Windows were damaged and were not repaired. There was graffiti all o
29、ver the walls.（分数：10.00）(1).British people prefer_.（分数：2.00）A.flats to detached housesB.cottages to flatsC.modern houses to old housesD.city life to country life(2).A garden is considered to be desirable because_.（分数：2.00）A.its BritishB.it appears ruralC.gardening is popularD.children like gardens(3

31、ly welcomedC.were much better equippedD.were much more expensive(5).Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.British CultureB.Houses, Not FlatsC.British DreamD.Kinds of HousesWhen we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 p
32、ercent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons good points, things will be quite different. One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she bring
33、s home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval. The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was
34、 excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it. Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies
35、 doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy. Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily li
36、fe, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, people_.（分数：2.00）A.spend a lot of time thinking about othersB.think about themselves most of the timeC.spend little time thinking about themselvesD.think more about others than themselv

40、and in our homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called “social robots,“ capable of engaging with people. Todays robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incom
41、ing message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal. “ Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you re interacting with someone rather than something,“ she said. “And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction
42、 that feels like a cooperation or partnership. “ At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations. “ You know if you re going
43、 to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they re around us,“ he said. Social robots do not necessar
44、ily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people. “ It s designed to be in human spaces and interact with people and around people,“ he said. “So it i
45、nteracts with the front desk agent when they re sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it s going along. And, it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives. “ So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family ph
46、otos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.（分数：10.00）(1).What will social robots do according to the scientists?（分数：2.00）A.They will cooperate with people.B.They will clean the big house.C.They will explore underwater objects.D.T
