Ⅲ. 阅读(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Two-legged, humanoid (类人的) robots such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd?s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.
But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people?s homes.
“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “ I don?t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”
While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people?s needs.
Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu L aboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol(巡逻) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共场所), are working on this.
Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its belly to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.

In guide mode, it will detect a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “ Are you a visitor? Hello.”
Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (图标) displayed on Enon?s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.
The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won?t actually walk the visitor there.
Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.
“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd?s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.
41.The advantage of Honda Motor Co. Ltd?s ASIMO is that__________.A. it can do any housework for us
B. it can talk with patients or old peopleC. it can climb up stairs as humansD. it can walk smoothly with its wheels
42. According to Shimoyama, robots _________.A. can be made to do everything humans do B. will be made as smart as humans in the future C. will remain as stupid as before
D. can never compete with humans in intelligence
43. Most important of all, a robot should be made _________at present.
A. safe and elegant B. safe and functional C. elegant and cheap D. sensitive and cheap 44. Which of the following statements about “Enon” is NOT true?
A. It can be used as a guide in hospitals. B. It can help shoppers carry goods selected.
C. It can be used to welcome guests in restaurants. D. It can be used to stop thieves in malls.
45. Enon is mainly designed to help _________.
A. old people B. mall owners C. tourists or newcomers D. shoppers
B
Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crime. More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.
Some people might say, “We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” Only 50% of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.
Some people might say, “We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” But Malaak Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, “ Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges than you do.” She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change,

aims to show that any kid can change the world.
“Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs.” Says Compton-Rock. “We want them to live a life of purpose and service.”
In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens, cared for babies and bought groceries.
“The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,” says Queen Clyde, 12. “It?s been good to be on this trip. But what?s also important is what we do when it?s finished. That?s what counts.” “ I never appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing,” says Sadara Lewis, 12. “It?s really changed my attitude. I want to make a difference.”
The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their experience, fund-raising and more.
46. What?s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Bushwick is the poorest place in New York City. B. Bushwick still needs more care from the government. C. It is children who suffer most in New York City. D. Children in Bushwick are living in a bad situation.
47.In Compton-Rock?s opinion, the Bushwick kids __________. A. have few challenges
B. are living much better than people in Africa
C. can learn to deal with their own problems by helping others D. should be kept out of schools
48. Compared to Bushwick kids, some children in Soweto __________.
A. may have bigger challenges B. receive no care from the government C. are much more independent D. are able to lead the family
49. According to the passage, “Journey for Change” can be best seen as the saying “________”. A. God helps those who help themselves B. saying and doing are two things C. one stone kills two birds D. a friend in need is a friend indeed 50. From the passage we know that __________. A. there are few students in Bushwick High School
B. the trip to Soweto will have a long influence in spite of its short time. C. most children are suffering from AIDS in Soweto D. kids with HIV will be abandoned in Soweto
C
Many banks are still not lending. They worry that they will not have enough capital to cover losses, but the situation does not allow many businesses to have the money they need to operate, and further slows a struggling economy.
In the United States, the government has so far provided almost 150 billion dollars to banks, mainly through buying shares. Yet this may not be enough to save some major banks. By some estimates, banks have at least one trillion dollars in losses that they have not yet reported. The new administration of President Barack Obama is considering ways to save banks.
One possibility is to expand federal guarantees against losses on some troubled financial
