Robotics Society of Japan ( RSJ) , to provide opportunities for young robot lovers to learn more about industrial and service robots, is going to hold the International Robotics Forum that will cooperate with this year’s International Robot Exhibition．‎ The lectures and explanations throughout the Conference will be given in Japanese but will be interpreted into English at the same time．The Conference will offer a great opportunity for senior high school students from all around the world to communicate with each other through robots．Therefore, we look forward to your active participation．【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ The event will take place two days．On the morning of Day One, Prof．Shin’ ichi Yuta of the  Shibaura Institute of Technology will give a lecture on basic mobile robotics and learning through robots． This will be followed by a talk by Mr． Kazuhiko Yokoyama of Yasukawa Electric Corporation who will explain the mechanism and control of robots and also point out the highlights(最精彩的部分）of the International Robot Exhibition．    ‎ We will prepare a challenge for all the participants． We will send you themes for robot research．You will study them in advance, and on the afternoon of Day One, you wi11 visit the Tokyo International Exhibition Center and investigate (详细研究）real robot ．You will be able to experience fun and excitement of advanced robot technologies． On the morning of Day Two, you will present your study and investigation results．‎ On the afternoon of Day Two，as the final event, awards will be given by the RSJ ‎ to groups that have given outstanding presentations．‎ We hope that many future robot researchers and engineers will be born today．‎ ‎21．Who is the Conference intended for?‎ ‎ A．The RSJ professors．             B．Robot lovers of all ages．‎ ‎ C．Japanese robot researchers．   D．Senior high school students worldwide．‎ ‎22．When can the participants study the real robots?‎ ‎ A．On the morning of December 4．       B．On the afternoon of December 4．‎ ‎ C．On the morning of December 5．      D．On the afternoon of December 5．‎ ‎23．What type of writing is this text?‎ ‎ A．An announcement．               B．An exhibition guide．‎ ‎ C．A  research paper．                D．A robotics show guide．‎ B Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”．I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment．‎ My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right”．I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule． When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment，whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫)onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table．‎ I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety．It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships．We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you“ or “I forgive you”．When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday，I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here．But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him． I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all．‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “ if only” about ‎ something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality．And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing． I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being．‎ ‎24．Which of the following is an example of the extra minute rule?‎ ‎ A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated．   ‎ ‎ B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working．      ‎ ‎ C．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone．‎ ‎ D．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better．‎ ‎25．The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to                    •‎ ‎ A．meet her father who was already an old man． ‎ B．keep her appointment with the eye doctor       ‎ ‎ C．join in the holiday celebration of the company              ‎ ‎ D．finish her work before the deadline approached ． ‎ ‎26．The underlined word foregone in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to             •‎ ‎ A．lacked       B．abandoned   C．avoided            D．wasted  ‎ ‎27．What is the best title for the passage?      ‎ ‎ A．The Emotional Well-being            B． The Most Useful Rule   ‎ ‎ C．The Two Saddest Words．            D．The Peace of Mind C If a woman has an extra piece of cake，don ‘t blame it on greed, blame it on her brain．      ‎ Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently --- and much more strongly --- than men’ s．Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food．Men，on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的）about what they eat．‎ Dr． Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in King’s ‎ College London used brain scanning technology，known as functional magnetic resonance imaging ( FMRI)，to look at the brains of eighteen men and women．‎ The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste．Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists．They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males．The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images．The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to．Dr．Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women．But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure．”‎ Professor Carey Cooper，psychology and health professor at Lancaster University，said，“for centuries women have had a providing role --- preparing and cooking food for their families．And it’s part of that role to make sure the food is safe．They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA． If the female brain react to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的）pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress． Food actually，is a comfort for women．”‎ But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved．American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B．Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的）differences or a learned process．’’‎ ‎28．Dr．Uher and his colleagues carried out the research by comparing          ‎ ‎ A．FMRI’s  effectiveness on women and men ‎  B．volunteers’ reaction to different kinds of food ‎ C．volunteers’ reaction to food before and after meals ‎ D． women’s and men’s reaction to different images ‎29．In Dr．Uher’s opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most probably because they are _________ ‎ ‎ A．told to do so for a long time                 ‎ ‎ B．influenced by advertisements ‎ C．forced by powerful social influences          ‎ ‎ D．born to do so due to biological reasons ‎30．According to Professor Carey Cooper, women              ．‎ ‎ A．turn to food when they feel sad         ‎ ‎ B．are stressed because of food safety ‎ C．accept their social role from the heart     ‎ ‎ D．are satisfied with preparing food for their families  ‎ ‎31．What was Angelo del Parigi’ s attitude towards the research results?   ‎ ‎ A．Surprised．       B．Doubtful．   C． Uninterested．     D．Curious D Teens who are preparing to undergo cosmetic surgery(整容手术) often have unrealistic expectations．The growing numbers of makeover television shows which make cosmetic surgery seem simple，have encouraged adolescents to pursue surgery to improve their physical appearance．As a result, more teenagers are going under the knife to achieve a desired look．‎ When teens feel the need to have plastic surgery, they believe that it is not a huge deal, but they may not be mature enough to make such a life altering decision．If teens feel inadequate before surgery，they will most likely feel disappointed afterwards．Not only is surgery complex and risky for mature adults，it is extremely dangerous for younger people，and some doctors are performing these procedures on kids as young as fourteen！ ‎ The cost of procedures can add up to thousands of dollars．Insurance does not cover the costs of these procedures．Teenagers often pay for surgery themselves 一 a very costly purchase for a young person．Not only can surgery become addictive for insecure teens，the consequence can be disappointing．When surgery takes an unexpected wrong turn, irreparable (不可挽回的）damage can occur．Any surgery on a young，undeveloped person has a risk of complication (并发症）such as infection (感染），which can lead to death． Even if ．there are no complications, there is no ‎ guarantee that surgery will provide the perfect nose or sculpted body．No matter how minor the procedure, it is not as effortless as it appears．‎ Of course, there are cases where plastic surgery is appropriate．If a child has a serious injury or scarring from an accident，it can be beneficial．In all cases, parents must be involved in the process for the welfare of their child, and must guide them in the right direction．Fortunately, parents or legal guardians (监护人）must sign documents allowing their child to have plastic surgery．Doctors also need to be a part of the decision．Most experienced and trust-worthy physicians turn down the opportunity to operate on a teenager unnecessarily．‎ Plastic surgery is a life-changing experience． Hopefully, more teens will realize that there is more to a person than physical beauty, and learn to accept themselves for who they are．‎ ‎32．Teenagers are encouraged to have plastic surgery by _________．‎ ‎ A．lots of TV programs  B．TV show hosts ‎ C．their teen friends       D．some surgeons  ‎ ‎ 33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ ‎ A．Plastic surgery being too costly for teens．‎ ‎ B．The hidden danger in having plastic surgery．‎ ‎ C．The development of techniques of plastic surgery．‎ ‎ D．Plastic surgery making teens prettier without effort ‎34．The author may think a teenager can consider having plastic surgery if he/she   _______‎ ‎ A．is supported by their parents       B．is not very beautiful ‎  C．has an ugly scar    D．has got a doctor’ s permission ‎35．What is the author s general attitude towards teens having plastic surgery?‎ A．Curious．     B. Supportive．   C．Doubtful．   D． Disapproving.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）                                 ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Time for a Brainstorm A  brainstorm is a session （会议）where a small group of people come together to solve a problem．People voice spontaneous ideas, sometimes just shouting , and a note-taker writes them all down． ___36 __．By getting different ideas out there, ideas are said to bounce off each other and even can help solve the problem at hand．Brainstorming is often a group exercise but individuals can also conduct personal brainstorms．‎ ‎___37___He defined it as using the brain to storm a creative problem and do so in commando (突击队）fashion，with each stormer attacking the same objective．According to him,, it was easier to tone down a wild idea than think up a new one．He placed importance on the collection of as many ideas as possible and dismissed scientific thinking．‎ Brainstorming has become one of the most popular ways to solve problems and hold discussion in schools and businesses．Many students brainstorm for a group assignment or even for a personal essay． Sarah Grace, 24, is an Australian marketing analyst and uses brainstorming during all her creative duties． She thinks brainstorming is the best way to work as a team．The sessions get everyone on the same page，everyone moving together and with a clear understanding about the foundations of an event or idea．____38___．‎ However, a big problem with brainstorming is creating a mess that leads people further away from a solution．__ 39__ If you don’t have a strong moderator or leader of the brainstorm, can go really off track，and people just start discussing something totally different． Brainstorming can sometimes confuse the human brain． ___40__ If you brainstorm too much and your page is filled up with all the messy links, you can paint yourself into a bit of corner and get trapped with ideas． You need to move past brainstorming as soon as you have something workable．‎ A．The ideas can be smart，strange or crazy．‎ B．It is caused by a lack of direction from a leader．‎ C．Brainstorming really helps her organize her thoughts．‎ D．Brainstorming really is the best way to build team spirit．‎ E．It can open too many doors and not suggest a clear direction．‎ F．They can be words, phrases, paragraphs and anything that can help answer the question．‎ ‎ G．Brainstorms were popularized in the 1940s by American advertising boss Alex Osborn．‎ 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ 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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(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。‎ ‎ It’s amazing how one dollar can change the culture of a school.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎ We have a small school.
