Robotics Forum（论坛）‎ Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo, Japan, December 4-5‎ The 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．‎ 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 rooming 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 morning of December 5．‎ ‎ C．On the afternoon of December 4．      ‎ ‎ D．On the afternoon of December 5．‎ ‎23．What type of writing is this text?‎ ‎ A．A  research paper．                  ‎ ‎ B．An exhibition guide．‎ ‎ C．An announcement．                  ‎ ‎ 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 comers 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．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better．   ‎ ‎ D．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone．‎ ‎25．The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to                    •‎ ‎ A．keep her appointment with the eye doctor       ‎ ‎ B．meet her father who was already an old man．‎ ‎ 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．abandoned                        ‎ ‎ B．lacked   ‎ ‎ C．avoided                      ‎ ‎ D．wasted  ‎ ‎27．What is the best title for the passage?      ‎ ‎ A．The Emotional Well-being              ‎ ‎ B．The Two Saddest Words．     ‎ ‎ C．The Most Useful Rule              ‎ ‎ 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 一 and much more ‎ strongly 一 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 一 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．women’s and men’s reaction to different images ‎ C．volunteers’ reaction to food before and after meals ‎ D．volunteers’ reaction to different kinds of food ‎29．In Dr．Uher’s opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most probably because they_________ ‎ ‎ 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．Uninterested．     C．Doubtful．      D．Curious D Teens who are preparing to undergo cosmetic surgery 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．some surgeons           ‎ ‎ B．TV show hosts ‎ C．their teen friends       ‎ ‎ D．lots of TV programs ‎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．has an ugly scar               ‎ ‎ B．is not very beautiful ‎  C．is supported by their parents     ‎ ‎ D．has got a doctor* s permission ‎35．What is the author s general attitude towards teens having plastic surgery?‎ ‎ A．Disapproving．     B．Supportive．   C．Doubtful．   D．Curious．‎ 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 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 comer 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．Brainstorms were popularized in the 1940s by American advertising boss Alex Osborn．．‎ G．They can be words, phrases, paragraphs and anything that can help answer the question．‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（满分30分）‎ 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Very Special Olympian ‎ The professor was searching for student

You must have wasted them a lot.‎ M：Yes, I did. They ought to be ripe enough to pick by next Friday when we have our picnic.‎ Text 2‎ W：Where are our major overseas markets?‎ M：Chiefly in Europe and the States, but we have begun to reach the Middle East, South America and Australia.‎ Text 3‎ M：Can I have a discount for a group booking?‎ W：Yes, the rate would be 80 dollars if you book more than 5 rooms at a time.‎ M：That would be nice. I would like to make a reservation for 8 rooms for July 21.‎ Text 4‎ W：What are your plans for this summer?‎ M：I am going to tour Europe this year.‎ W：I love to travel, but I just can’t afford it.‎ Text 5‎ W：John, I have to say I was bothered by the way you handled the meeting today.‎ M：How so? I thought it went fine.‎ W：I think you should have given us more of a chance to give our opinions.‎ M：I am sorry. I thought we were all pretty much in agreement.‎ Text 6‎ W：When did you get here?‎ M：We have been waiting for almost an hour.‎ W：Oh, that’s too bad. Couldn’t you have telephoned?‎ M：I was going to, but I didn’t have any change for a pay phone.‎ W：You could have gotten some change in a store.‎ M：Not really. The tire went flat out on the edge of town. There wasn’t any place to call from W：Well, at least you are here now. No need to wait any longer. So let’s go to pick them up. ‎ Text 7‎ M：They will never help us. You know that old saying, “You can’t get blood out of a turnip”‎ W：I know, I know. But that is no reason not to ask them.‎ M：We asked them last year and what did they say?‎ W：Actually, they didn’t say anything.‎ M：Yeah. They didn’t say anything and they didn’t do anything.‎ W：I think they might do something this year. I was talking to Gail last week and I thought I detected a friendlier attitude.‎ M：There you go with your optimism? Don’t get your hopes too high!‎ W：:I won’t, but it doesn’t hurt to expect the best. Sometimes you get it!‎ Text 8‎ W：Did you see the movie on channel 6 last night?‎ M：No, I missed it. I went shopping for clothes.‎ W：It was an excellent film. It had been made especially for television, you know.‎ M：I read about it in yesterday’s paper and I had hoped to watch it last night, but then Meg called to invite me to go shopping with her. So I went.‎ W：You remember that the critic thought that it was one of the best films of the last ten years.‎ M：Yes, I do remember. They said it would win some film awards at the end of the year.‎ W：Well, if I were one of the judges, I’d pick it as the best film of the year. I really enjoyed it, especially the plot and the acting.‎ M：Sounds like I’ll have to see it, if they ever return it.‎ Text 9‎ W：Hmm…Look at this picture of those people moving. I think that’s pretty stressful.‎ M：Well. I think it’s not so bad. I think that going to the dentist is stressful.‎ W：Oh, so do I! it’s stressful because you have no control.‎ M：That’s right. Look at this one of that poor boy taking an exam. I think exams are the most stressful. Sometimes you just can’t think of anything to write.‎ W：Yes, I agree with you there .What about these people here?‎ M：Mmm… I’m not sure. They seem to be in a hurry, don’t they? I think being late is stressful.‎ W：That’s true. It can be ternible, especially when you’re late for something important.‎ M：Like an interview. Look at this picture here: here’s someone in an interview. Do you think interviews are stressful.‎ W：Oh, I hate interviews.‎ Text 10‎ To get a driver’s license, you must take three tests. The first test is a vision test. This test checks your eyes to see if you have to wear glasses when you drive. The second test is a written test that checks your knowledge of highway and traffic regulations. You can prepare for this test by studying a booklet that you can get in the driver’s license office. After you pass the written test, you receive an instruction permit. This permit allows you to practice driving with an experienced driver. The last test you have to take is a road test. This checks your driving ability. If you pass it,‎ ‎ you will receive your driver’s license.‎ When you go to the driver’s license office to take the road test, you must provide your own vehicle. First, the license examiner checks the mechanical condition of your car. Then the examiner gets into the car with you and asks you to drive in regular traffic. While you are driving, the examiner tests you for such things as starting, stopping, turning, backing up, and parking. If you can’t control the car properly, of if you break a traffic rule while you are taking the test, you fail the examination. You’ll have to continue to practice until you take the road test again and pass it.‎
