Recently I   36   about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn"t help but feel it was not by   37   , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope".

Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only  54  , but spiritually and emotionally as well.

第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

A

O. Henry’s stories frequently have surprise endings. In his day he was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. While both authors wrote plot twist endings, O. Henry’s stories were considerably more playful, and are also known for their witty narration.

Most of his stories are set in his own time, the early 20th century. Many take place in New York City and deal for the most part with ordinary people: policemen, waitresses, etc. Some of his best and least-known work is contained in Cabbages and Kings, his first collection of stories, followed by The Four Million.

Among his most famous stories are:

l         The Ransom of Red Chie, in which two men kidnap a boy of ten. The boy turns out to be so hateful and ill-mannered that the desperate men ultimately pay the boy’s father $250 to take him back.

l         The Cop and the Anthemabout a homeless New Yorker named Soapy, who sets out to get arrested so that he can be a guest of the city jail instead of sleeping out in the cold winter. Despite efforts at petty theft, vandalism, disorderly conduct, and “mashing” with a young prostitute, Soapy fails to draw the attention of the police. Disconsolate, he pauses in front of a church, where an organ anthem inspires him to clean up his life; ironically, he is charged for wandering around and sentenced to three months in prison.

l         "A Retrieved Reformation", which tells the tale of safecracker Jimmy Valentine, recently freed from prison. As he enters the town bank, he is attracted by the banker’s beautiful daughter. They immediately fall in love and Valentine decides to give up his criminal career. He moves into the town, taking up the identity of Ralph Spencer, a shoemaker. Just as he is about to leave to deliver his specialized tools to an old associate, a lawman who recognizes his arrival at the bank. At that moment, a child accidentally gets locked inside the new safe. Knowing it will seal his fate, Valentine opens the safe to rescue the child. However, much to Valentine’s surprise, the lawman denies recognizing him and lets him go.

l         "The Last Leaf" is a short story by O. Henry published in 1907. It tells the Story of an old artist who saves the life of a young artist, dying of pneumonia, by giving her the will to live. She can see an ivy plant through the window gradually losing its leaves, and has taken it into her head that she will die when the last leaf falls. Seemingly, it never does fall, and she survives. We learn that in reality the vine lost all its leaves. What she thought she saw was a leaf, painted on the wall with perfect realism, by the old artist. The old artist dies of pneumonia contracted while being out in the wet and cold, painting the last leaf.

 

56. What can we learn from the passage?

A. O. Henry’s stories mainly focus on the man in the street.

B. O. Henry’s stories have awesome endings but awful beginnings.

C. O. Henry introduced Guy de Maupassant’s classical works to America.

D. O. Henry and Guy de Maupassant had little in common in creating plot twists.

57. If you hope to see the theme “Goodness is rewarded”, you may be interested in _________.

A. The Last Leaf                            B. A Retrieved Reformation

C. The Ransom of Red Chief              D. The Cop and the Anthem

The robot revolution has arrived at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. Among those on display are a robotic arm that plays table tennis with a human opponent, and a larger-than-human robot that plays the word game Scrabble against another player.

Many tech companies from around the world are developing robots that act as social companions that can be a part of the family. Imagine a mobile device, such as a tablet, with a moving body and personality. Many social robots have faces with blinking eyes and moving mouths and different expressions. One robot even yawns. Some speak in various languages while one sounds like R2-D2 in the Star Wars movies.

“This year, I think is the first year we can touch this revolution,” said Rodolphe Hasselvander, founder of Blue Frog Robotics, a French company that created the robot named Buddy.

Several robotic social companions that interact with people will be available for sale this year.

“This is like humanoid. It’s good for maybe the elderly, for children and for adults to have interaction,” said Sean Wang, general director of the Industrial Technology Research Institute International Center.

They can do what a smart phone can do and more. Some robots can entertain children. The robot Buddy can patrol the home when the residents are not home and contact a person’s phone if it detects an intruder or fire.

Many of the robots have cameras that act as eyes. For those concerned about someone hacking into a robot to enter a home, there are safeguards to look for when purchasing one.

“When the camera is activated, we will show it on the screen and specific lights so you know that someone is using your camera,” Hasselvander said about Buddy.

He said 2018 is the time when people are ready to accept social robots into their homes.

“This kind of robot is the next step because Amazon Echo, Google Home, can’t move. They’re not alive. It’s not a character you know. So it’s the next step. I think this robot, I hope it will be Buddy, but this kind of robot will be adopted by everybody in the next few years,” Hasselvander said.

What do the convention goers think of welcoming a robot into the family?

“I don’t know. I guess it would really depend on what you would use it for and what it would do for you,” said Shane Hoalst, who stopped by to look at Buddy.

“I think today, people they don’t have time to spend time with elderly people or with children and using that is just perfect, because it looks like a human, interacts like a human, and it’s a gentle product,” said Roseline Le Thomas, who said she could see having a robot for her family.

The costs of companion robots vary. Buddy will cost about $1,500.

“If you’re going to spend $1,000 on an iPhone, you can spend $1,000 on a little robot like that,” Hoalst said.

Just like a dog or a cat, a robot companion may become a regular part of many families in the not so distant future.

58. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 8 refer to?

   A. People’s interaction with the robot.          

B. Someone’s purchasing one robot.

C. Someone’s hacking into the robot.           

D. Buddy’s contacting a person’s phone.

59. What do we know about “Buddy”?

   A. 2018 will witness Buddy go into different families.

   B. Buddy is equipped with special eyes to protect itself.

   C. Buddy can safeguard the home and sound the fire alarm.

   D. Buddy has an advantage over conventional smart products.

60. The author mainly intends to tell us that _________.

A. Social robots may soon become new members of the family

B. Companion robots will soon take the place of family members

C. Many families are making preparations to welcome social robots    

D. Many tech companies are competing for a share of the robot market

 

C

One of the founding principles of Darwin’s theory is that biological evolution has been shaped by the survival of the fittest. Things, however, are not always that simple as researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London have discovered while analyzing the social behavior of aphids(蚜虫).
