But what does a mother do when her child is sick? ‎ Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child. Although she lost her job, she took an opportunity to turn her hobby into a business: creating “baby cakes”, a combination of diapers (尿布) and baby products artfully arranged to look like a cake. Inside, it contains blankets, towels, bottles and toys — things that can be used for babies. They are perfect gifts.‎ However, the idea of making “baby cakes” came from one of her experiences. When her child was born, she received a gift called diaper cake. It was made of diapers, but it was small and unusable. So she decided to create her own style of it to give her friends as a gift. Her friends liked these gifts very much and advised her to make and sell “baby cakes”. ‎ She thought that it would be turned into a full-time business. In 1998, she started Baby-Cakes.com. After several years, her business grew and expanded in a way that even she had never expected. She sold her products online at first. Three years after her own website was created, demand for her products was so great that in August, 2001 she opened a real store. She is ready to combine the online store with the traditional store. ‎ ‎25.

Sophia’s story suggests that .‎ ‎ A. experience is the mother of wisdom B. a failure can be a chance in life ‎ C. two heads are better than on D. a friend in need is a friend indeed C ‎ In the past hundred years, the world’s attitude toward whales has changed a lot. The animals are no longer seen as frightening creatures and worldwide protection efforts have reduced whale hunting. Through careful observation, scientists have shown that whales are generally peaceful, playful creatures, and that they have a high level of intelligence. ‎ But even now, some behaviour of whales is still a mystery. A lot of information gathered by whale researchers has raised new puzzles about the animals. Whales’ communication is particularly difficult to understand. Male humpbacks (also known as bulls) give off a sequence (一连串) of low moans, high screams and clicking noises. These noises are sometimes combined in songs that last as long as 30 minutes. And in a particular region, every male will sing the same song, making small changes every once in a while so that it evolves (逐渐形成) into a completely different song over time. ‎ This behavior seems to be related to reproduction. During the mating (交配) season, a male humpback starts the long song sequence, stopping only to join a passing female whale (also known as a cow). Eventually, the bull and the cow may dive deep into the ocean, probably to mate. Male humpbacks’ songs are similar to what birds display to attract mates (配偶), except that the sound carries over many miles, attracting some other male humpbacks in the area. It’s very odd that a male would call his own competition to him, unless he actually wanted to test his strength against others. Some whale researchers believe that the songs are actually acoustic (听觉的) contests of strength. ‎ ‎28. What can we infer from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. We used to have wrong ideas about whales. ‎ ‎ B. Whales are in danger of dying out today.‎ ‎ C. Whales have always been considered as fierce creatures.‎ ‎ D. Whales are only protected in some parts of the world.‎ ‎29. We can learn from the second paragraph that .‎ ‎ A. male whales and female whales both sing songs ‎ ‎ B. people can’t fully understand whales’ communication ‎ C. people only understand the songs of male whales ‎ D. the songs of male whales never change ‎ ‎30. The last paragraph suggests that male humpbacks sing songs most probably to .‎ ‎ A. find their own family members B. work together with others to hunt ‎ C. compete against other male humpbacks D. frighten away other male humpbacks ‎ ‎31. What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The protection of humpbacks. B. The songs humpbacks sing.‎ ‎ C. How male humpbacks sing. D. Why male humpbacks sing.‎ D ‎ Picking up objects plays an important role in people’s life. El-E is a robot that is designed to get everyday objects for people with disabilities. ‎ About 1.5 meters tall, with a single robotic arm that can pick up objects at different heights, El-E is equipped to discover what its owner wants and then go and fetch it. The user can point a location to the robot using a “point-and-click” way of interaction (交流), which provides a direct way to tell the robot which object to handle or where to go. The robot can adapt the position of its arm in order to grasp the object. ‎ After successful early trials, some scientists expanded El-E’s functions and tried to combine voice commands with the laser (激光) in order to do more complicated tasks, like opening doors. The robot recognizes words such as “pull” or “push” and performs the action on an object illuminated (照亮) by the laser. In order to add more functions, project director Prof. Charlie and his colleagues are focusing on programming El-E to locate and fetch common household items such as a hairbrush, a bottle of pills or a cell phone. ‎ The robot is also designed to learn from its mistakes. “If it fails to fetch an object, it will recognize it and try again,” Charlie said. Formal studies have shown El-E to be a good worker. In 127 out of 134 trials, the robot successfully picked up the requested object.‎ ‎32. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To describe different types of El-E. B. To predict the development of El-E.‎ C. To introduce the functions of El-E. D. To stress the importance of El-E.‎ ‎33. The underlined part “point-and-click” in Paragraph 2 refers to .‎ A. a method through which people give commands ‎ B. a machine that can be used to replace the robot C. a signal used to show the robot where the object is ‎ D. a button that controls the actions of the robot ‎34. How do Charlie and his colleagues develop El-E?‎ A. By having it communicate with more people. ‎ B. By making it able to fetch more items.‎ C. By letting it pick up objects more accurately. ‎ D. By getting it changeable at different occasions.‎ ‎35. From the text, we can learn that .‎ A. robots are getting more and more popular B. robots are quicker than human beings C. more and more people begin to develop robots for the disabled D. correcting mistakes can help the robot work more successfully 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ I’ve been keeping an English blog for many years.
