11．Although most hitchhikers （搭便車的人） are people，passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers．But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot？Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside？
That is the answer Canadian professors，David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller，who study the relationship between humans and technology，are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot．
HitchBOT is built with cheap household items．Thanks to a PC tablet，GPS tracker and camera，hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public，but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks．The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through．
Not surprisingly，many people are doubtful about hitchBOT's ability．Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone．Actually，they are all wrong．The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax，Nova Scotia，to Victoria，British Columbia，a distance of 3，700miles．It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple．It not only reached its destination on August 21st，but also had some amazing adventures along the way．It visited national parks，went fishing，went camping，and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride's speech．
In addition to helping it get to its destination，its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape （披肩） to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil．
24．Why is the hitchhiking robot built？B
A．To help passers-by reach their destinations．
B．To find out how people might react to it．
C．To see if it will give rides to strangers．
D．To entertain drivers on their way．
25．The hitchBOT can do all of the following exceptD．
A．talking with the driver    
B．dancing with people
C．sending its thoughts and pictures 
D．answering any question raised
26．How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination？A
A．Nearly a month．    
B．Over one month．   
C．Two months．
D．One week．
27．What can we learn about the hitchBOT？C
A．It was ignored by an elderly couple．
B．It didn't meet with any danger along the way．
C．It experienced a long and amazing journey．
D．It will be put into the market quickly．

6．The Toyota Prius hybrids adapted by Google's engineers have covered 300，000 miles on the roads of California without a human at the wheel，but with only one accident by a human-controlled car．It's clear that driverless cars are much safer than human-controlled ones．40，000 people are killed every year in road accidents in the US，many of which are caused by human error．Besides，driverless vehicles could make better use of the road and reduce the size of car parks，too．
With technology，a machine can perform a complex task without human involvement This means our thought about what machines can and cannot do needs updating urgently．
However，ignore the beautiful words and think about what Google has done．This isn't just about care．Economists are increasingly puzzled by the fact that the rate of job-creation is much lower than expected and the length of time for which people are unemployed has rocketed to 40 weeks twice as long as that during any previous postwar recovery．Economic theory says that when companies begin to grow or become profitable again，they buy equipment and hire workers．But that isn't happening．Companies are still buying equipment，but they're not employing workers．
So where did the jobs go？Andrew McAfee explains his view in his new book Race Against the Machine．"Advances in self-driving car by Google represent the next wave of job-eliminating technology．Many skills （such as driving） may eventually become worthless，at least in the job market．"
And as for those thinking that driverless cars might appeal to most motorists，there is the uncomfortable fact that the car has peaked．We are driving less year on year．Traffic jams reduce the romance from driving．And young people no longer have the desire to own cars like they used to．
71．According to the first paragraph，driverless vehicles areD
A．faster                           B．lighter        
C．smaller                          D．safer
72．The underlined word"updating"in the second paragraph means"B"．
A．abandoning                       B．renewing           
C．starting                         D．returning
73．The third paragraph suggests thatA
A．technology doesn't ease the pressure on employment
B．companies gain profit by employing more workers
C．it takes people less time to find a job than before
D．people will see another economic recovery in future
74．What will be the influence of driverless cars according to Andrew McAfee？D
A．The economic recovery is to be sped up．
B．Many companies may make higher profits．
C．Traditional skills will be improved．
D．More people may lose their jobs．
75．The last paragraph tells us that the car industryA．
A．will be given up by young people
B．is lo blame for traffic jams
C．is reaching the highest point
D．will expand in all directions．

3．SINCE it's home to a famous university，a lot of people think Oxford，an English city west of London，is very wealthy．In fact，that's not quite the case．Many neighborhoods in and around Oxford are quite poor Children in these areas often don't have the best opportunities  in life．Some of them never even get to go 0n holiday．
    While a student at university，I ran a charity called Vacproj   （short for"Vacation Project"）that helped such children go on holiday．Over a year，we raised money  by writing letters to businesses and standing in the street with buckets（桶），We managed to pay for 36 children to go on a holiday．They were aged from about 6 to 11 years old．Altogether，this cost more than 25，000 pounds  （232，100yuan）．
These holidays took place every summer a part of England called Sussex．Around 20 students from my university volunteered to help．Every day，we went on a different trip：one day it was ice-skating，another time we went to the zoo．One day，went on a trip to a castle．We told them old legends（傳說） of the ghosts who lived there and all the kings and queens who had passed through，All these trips required a lot of preparations．For example，on a climbing trip we had to teach the kids about safety and how to use  ropes．
    The holiday was by far the most tiring experience of my life．Every day，I had to wake up at 6 am，and  I didn't get to  bed until l am．The children never，ever ran out  of energy，and we were responsible for all of  them Some of the kids were very naughty； others refused to eat  certain kinds of  food．There were always problems to deal with．We had to be their parents for the week，and care for them as parents would．
Though the trip may have been very tiring，it was also the best I've ever been on．At every new tourist site，the kids eyes lit up with excitement．They were very funny，and weren't afraid of making fun of us． We left the holiday with a new perspectiveon life； children may be the most tiring people in the world，but they're also the most interesting．
46．According to the article，the purpose of Vacproj  is toB．
    A．promote tourism in the city of Oxford    B．help poor children go on holiday
    C．raise money for poor children            D．find tour guides for poor children
47．Which of the following statements about the trips to Sussex is TRUE  according to the article？D
    A．The trip to the castles was the  favorite of the children．
    B．It is easy for the children to get tired on the trips．
    C．Most children didn't like the food during the trips．
    D．The volunteers  always made various preparations during the trips．
48．The author found the trips with the children to SussexB．
    A．boring    B．rewarding    C．unbearable    D．relaxing
49．What does the underlined word"perspective"meanD
A．Experience    B．Wealth．C．Promise．D．View
50．The article is mainly aboutB．
   A．neighborhoods in Oxford that  still suffer from poverty
    B．the author's experience with the Vacproj program
    C．how the author spent his trips to  Sussex every summer
    D．how tiring it can be to look after children．

10．When Americans in the manufacturing sector （制造業(yè)） cried out，"The Chinese are coming，"some years ago，they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities．Now Americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on June 17-but this time，it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States．U．S．tourism officials have high expectations that well-off Chinese visitors，who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan，will give a big help to their industry．
"We're very excited，"said Helen N．Marano，Director of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries under the U．S．Department of Commerce．Before she talked to Beijing Review on June 17，Marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at Washington Dulles International Airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of Chinese tourists to visit the United States．
The first group consisted of 250 tourists，who left from Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong on June 17，the day when newly appointed Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and U．S．Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．Strategic Economic Dialogue （SED） in Annapolis，Maryland．Each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials．
Coincidence （巧合） could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day．As a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by Chinese President Hu Jintao and U．S．President George W．Bush in 2006，the first Chinese tourist group's arrival in the United States was widely reported by the Chinese media．
At the previous SED meeting last December，Chairman of the Chinese National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei and U．S．Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez signed an agreement between China and the United States to advance tourist group travel from China to the United States．Under this agreement，China agreed to give an"approved destination status"to the United States，allowing Chinese travel agencies to market tourism to American destinations and permitting U．S．destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public．
The agreement"is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years，"Paulson said．
But what people in the U．S．tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie．
"I'm getting calls already from people saying things like，‘How do we get to do this？'and‘How do we attract Chinese tourists to our area？'"Marano told Beijing Review．Marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen．

63．When，a few years ago，some Americans shouted"the Chinese are coming"，they 
D．
A．were worried that the Chinese language would take the place of English
B．were concerned that the number of the Chinese tourists would be bigger than the locals 
C．wanted to warn that the U．S．economy would suffer heavy losses
D．feared that large numbers of Chinese moving into the U．S．would make many Americans jobless
64．Helen N．Marano was excited becauseB．
A．large numbers of Chinese touring the U．S．would tip her and her colleagues
B．the Chinese touring in the U．S．would help improve its industry
C．the Chinese are usually well organized when travelling
D．Wang Qishan and Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．SED
65．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．Chinese tourist agencies could organize groups of Chinese to go to the U．S．without the agreement 
B．Marano and her colleagues waited at the airport to see how well organized the Chinese were
C．many Americans take a positive attitude toward Chinese tourists
D．about 100 million Americans will travel to China in the next 15 years
66．Which of the following is the best title for this passage？A
A．The Chinese are coming
B．The fourth-round China-U．S．SED
C．More Chinese，more job opportunities

5．As an English teacher，I've been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world．I've seen people celebrate everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars．I've attended weddings，parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan，and I've noticed that gold---the metal or the colour of it---is always part of cultural events，traditions and celebrations．
It makes me wonder：Why do people love gold？
For some people，gold seems to be a status（地位）symbol．Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of 250，000．I'mnotsureI'dspendsomuchmoneyonashirt，wouldyou？ButDattaPhugehashisreason．Heexplains，"SomepeoplewanttoownanAudioraMercedes．Ichoosegold．"＜br/＞Forotherpeople，goldisaninvestment（投資）．ThepriceofgoldgenerallyincreasesovertimeandinEuropeanmarkets，itreachedeven1，500 per ounce in 2011．
And for many people，a family heirloom（傳家寶）brings together status and investment．My mother has a gold bracelet（手鐲）that was given to her by her grandmother who，in turn，inherited it from her own grandmother．It's quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money．But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars．It's a beautiful object that holds many family memories．When the time comes，my mum will give the bracelet to me，and one day，I'll pass it on to the younger generation．
Therefore，status and investment are good reasons to value gold．However，I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects．Think about Tutankhamen's death mask．Have you ever seen anything so beautiful？
People love gold because it holds their minds，their imaginations and，above all，their hearts．
56．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatD．
A．the author has traveled to many countries  
B．people celebrate almost everything
C．there are many ways to use gold         
D．people all over the world love gold
57．Datta Phuge bought a shirt made of gold becauseA．
A．gold is a status symbol to him          
B．he loves this kind of shirt
C．people there love gold so much     
D．he is a successful businessman
58．According to the passage，in Europe，gold could beCper ounce in 2010．
A.1，550           B.1，500          C.1，450           D.1，600
59．The gold bracelet is the heirloom for the author's family mainly becauseD．
A．it's worth a lot of money              
B．it brings status and investment
C．it's a beautiful object                
D．it holds family memories
60．In the author's opinion，the real reason why people love gold is thatB．
A．it is a status symbol to some people         
B．it can be made into beautiful objects
C．it can be passed on to the younger generation
D．it can bring people a lot of money．
