Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. “ As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn’t climb out, ” said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. “Someone else told me the lake was only one - meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6- cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck, and pulled him out. I don’t think I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay------ no one was particularly worried, about me!”‎ ‎ A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. “The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith) was in the water forcing his way through the ice. I can’t begin to imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber ----- he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.”‎ Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid- back about it. “Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I’m going to make sure he’s on a lead near any ice ponds.” ‎ Pets are members of our family.

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.‎ ‎28.How are social robots different from household robots?‎ A. They can control their emotions.‎ B. They do the normal housework.‎ C. They are more like humans.‎ D. They respond to users more slowly.‎ ‎29.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?‎ A. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.‎ B. Answer your questions and make requests.‎ C. Take your family pictures and help you do shopping.‎ D. Communicate with you and perform operations.‎ ‎30.What can Oshbot work as?‎ A.A language teacher.　　　 ‎ B.A tour guide.‎ C.A private nurse. ‎ D.A shop assistant. ‎ ‎31.What does the passage mainly present?‎ A. An introduction to social robots.‎ B. Marketing strategies for social robots.‎ C. Information on household robots.‎ D. A new design idea of household robots.‎ D ‎ In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us back. We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management. We can eat healthy food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, and still get sick.‎ ‎ The bottom line is that life is not fair.‎ ‎ That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life. They can’t handle the fact that our efforts don’t always get the results that we expect. But if we let life’s unfairness defeat us, we will never receive the beautiful blessings (幸事) that life has in store for us.‎ ‎ For example, my first marriage ended in divorce. To me, it felt very unfair. I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother. However, no matter what I did, I could not make the relationship work.‎ ‎ I could have been shut down by that experience. I could have decided that if one person didn’t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would. I could have given up. But I knew that I wanted to be married. I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family life. So I didn’t let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married. And then one day, I met this kind, thoughtful, generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage. But that wouldn’t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.‎ ‎ What I’ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome, but get bad things in return instead.‎ ‎ When we are faced with life’s seeming unfairness, our faith needs to jump in. When life doesn’t go according to plan, we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying, working hard and doing the right thing. Please don’t be discouraged. Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward. And by knowing that if we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.‎ ‎32. We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ______.‎ A. the author thinks life should reward us for our efforts B. life doesn’t often turn out the way we expect ‎ C. unsatisfactory results simply mean your effort is not enough ‎ D. people should focus on the process rather than the outcomes ‎33. The author wrote about her unsuccessful marriage to ______.‎ A. show that we need to have faith and continue working for our goals B. tell readers how she met her second husband and became happily married C. express how proud she is for not being shut down by a blow from life D. complain about the unfairness of her life and marriage ‎34. When we encounter unfairness in life, the author suggests we ______.‎ a. do nothing but accept them b. be confident with ourselves c. keep doing what we should do ‎ d. find out what has gone wrong A. ab B. ad C. cd D. bc ‎ ‎35. The author wrote the article mainly to ______.‎ A. share her experiences of unfairness in life B. tell us that life has beautiful blessings in store for us ‎ C. tell us how to deal with life’s seeming unfairness D. explain why life seems neither fair nor straightforward 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。‎ Almost everyone wants to be happy, but not all know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” 36 Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.‎ ‎37 Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present, for example, getting into college or getting a good job. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. 38 ‎ Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. 39 You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.‎ Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. 40 You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.‎ A. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming.‎ B. Happiness doesn’t mean that you have to earn a lot of money.‎ C. In other words, we make our own happiness.‎ D. In a word, happiness is very important.‎ E. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.‎ F. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone.‎ G. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World.
