26、Shopping centers，stadiums and universities may soon have a new tool to help fight crime.

A California company called Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime. Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.

William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says，"These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has more than seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipment that we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement（执法）."

"You want them to be machines plus humans. Let. the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work，so it's always working all together."

The machines do not carry weapons but they have day and night video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.

Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.

William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in the US. Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robot security guards.

【1】What can this new tool do for humans?

A．Make strategic decisions.

【3】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A．Robots Are Becoming More Popular

B．Robots Contribute a Lot to the World

C．Robots Are in Great Demand Now

D．Security Robots Could Help Cut Crime

27、   Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because ‘‘everyone’s winner.’’ And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.’’

Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:

A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic—you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.

On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.

We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.

【1】What does professor Dweck think about the generation in their thirties now?

A.They didn’t do well at school. B.They were often misunderstood.

C.They were eager to win in sports. D.They were given too much praise.

【2】What does a fixed mind-set person probably do?

A.He doesn’t want to work hard. B.He cares a lot about personal safety.

C.He doesn’t share his ideas with others. D.He succeeds with the help of teachers.

【3】What does the growth mind-set believe?

A.Admitting failure is shameful. B.Talent comes with one’s birth.

C.Scores should be highly valued. D.Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.

【4】What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?

A.Encourage them to learn from failures. B.Prevent them from making mistakes.

C.Guide them in doing little things. D.Help them grow with praise.

28、You may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgettable experiences or give you some great inspiration.

● Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin

And now you’ve accomplished something great and important here, and it’s time for you to move on to what’s next. And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps... You must also commit to the adventure Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you’ve been blessed with and go.

● J. K. Rowling, Harvard University

Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectations from my parents who were not rich... But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.

● Steve Jobs, Stanford University

Sometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith... Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle.

● Bill Gates, Harvard University

We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world’s inequities (不公平) like hunger, poverty and so on.

29、One day in summer, as Terry passed through the crossroads, a truck ran a red light, crashing into his car violently, throwing him out of his seat belt and sending him flying five meters through the air. Within minutes, Terry’s unconscious body was picked up by the medical workers at the side of the road. Noticing his skin had taken on a deep blue color — indicating a lack of oxygen — the medical workers put a pipe down Terry’s throat, and he was rushed to nearby Oshawa General Hospital. “ By the time Terry came in, we were ready and waiting for him, ” said Marianne Timmermans, one of the nurses who initially worked on him. He was in severe condition.

Moments later, police arrived with the news. Lorraine, Terry’s wife, remembered seeing him in the Intensive Care Unit for the first time after the accident. There was nothing but ma-chines all over him. He wasn’t a pretty sight. He lay deep in a coma (昏迷). But Terry’s powers of recovery were as unbelievable as his injuries seemed to be. Three weeks after being thrown from his vehicle, he came out of his coma. Although he was by all appearances intact, Terry would soon reveal an injury far more severe than whatever damage had been done to his body.

When Terry awoke from his coma, he had been all but reduced to the level of a child. Everything from his ability to talk and walk to his understanding of what it meant to be a husband and a father seemed gone. Much as Terry had a problem, he never gave up and he also had the support of his family, marked by small victories and a renewed bond between him and his three daughters when they taught him how to play football again.

It has taken years to rebuild his shattered life, but today, more than 20 years since his playing days, Terry is a highly popular motivational speaker. He tells his story of perseverance and courage and family’s support in his presentation Seize Each Day.

【1】Why did the car accident happen?

A．Terry drove his car too fast.

B．Terry didn’t fasten his seat belt.

C．The truck driver didn’t obey the traffic law.

D．The driver lost control of his truck.

【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Lorraine’s care for Terry.

B．The police’s response to the accident.

C．Terry’s health progress after the accident.

D．Terry’s effort to recover from injuries.

【3】What can we learn about Terry now from the text?

A．He has lost the ability of talking and walking.

B．He owes success to his family and his determination.

C．He finds it hard to get along well with his daughters.

D．He don’t bear the responsibilities of husband and father.

【4】What does the text mainly intend to tell us?

A．An inspiring story.

B．A successful father.

C．A harmonious family.

D．An extraordinary accident.

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep.

"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.

Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving   【10】 (extreme) fast.

The Possible Health Dangers of Air-conditioners

Although many of us may feel air-conditioners bring relief from hot, humid or polluted outside air, they pose many potential health hazards. Much research has looked at how the movement of air inside a closed environment—such as an office building—can spread disease or expose people in the building to harmful chemicals.

One of the more widely publicized dangers is that of Legionnaire’s disease, which was first recognized in the 1970s. This was found to have affected people in buildings with air-conditioning systems in which warm air pumped out of the system’ cooling towers was somehow sucked back into the air intake, in most cases due to poor design. The warm air, filled with bacteria, was combined with cooled, conditioned air and was then circulated around various parts of the building. Studies showed that even people outside such buildings were at risk if they walked past air exhaust pipes.

Large air-conditioning systems add water to the air they circulate by means of humidifiers. In older systems, the water used for this process is kept in special reservoirs, the bottoms of which provide breeding grounds for bacteria which can find their way into the ventilation system. The risk to human health from this situation has been highlighted by the fact that the immune systems of approximately half of workers in air-conditioned office buildings have developed the ability to fight off the organisms found at the bottom of system reservoirs. But chemicals called “biocides” are added to reservoirs to make them germ-free, and they are dangerous in their own right in sufficient quantities, as they often contain compounds strongly linked to cancers.

Finally, it should be pointed out that the artificial climatic environment created by air-conditioners can also affect us. In a natural environment, whether indoor or outdoor, there are small variations in temperature and humidity. Indeed, the human body has long been accustomed to these normal changes. In an air-conditioned living or working environment, however, body temperatures remain well under 37℃, our normal temperature. This leads to a weakened immune system and thus greater exposure to diseases such as colds and flu.
