Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children.
How should it look?The robot should have arms to be able to lift things.And ifit is going to
communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a
face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to
robots withfaces. But what kind?
For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a
human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human
than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes
that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy
英语试卷 第 5 页（共 10 页）communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are
ableto look forfaces. Just put two circles ontopof arobot’s body,and wewill see aface.
Dave feels differently.He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing
a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely
with humans, they should look as much like us as possible.After all, faces are an important
part oftheway wecommunicate.
To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special
skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and
appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy
expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send
pictures ofyour face to itscentral computer!

D. It can better communicate withpeople.
34.What does the underlined word “creepy”mean inparagraph 2?
A. Uncomfortable to lookat. B. Impossibletotouch.
C.Boring to talk to. D. Difficultto understand.
35.Which ofthe followingwould Dave mostprobably agree with?
A. Peopleshouldtreat robots as humans.
B. Robots needto express theirown feelings.
C.Robots shouldn’t looktoo muchlikehumans.
D. Peoplecan easily accept robots with ahuman face.
36.What is thepurpose ofthepassage?
A.Toexplain thereasons why robots should have faces.
B.Tosuggest what humans can dowith robots with faces.
C.Toshare ideas onwhat kind offaces robots shouldhave.

(D)
People believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we
usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how
dictionaries were made in thepast?
Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the
dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting
words, common words –– both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences
where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were
collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could
last for years. As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (A-Z). When
英语试卷 第 6 页（共 10 页）thiswas done, there would beseveral hundred cards foreach singleword.
Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before
him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the
cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the
definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on
acertain card in front ofhim.
So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a
taskof recording theirmeanings.Thewriter ofadictionary was ahistorian, not alawmaker.
As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays,
we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we can
be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations,
new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses
toold words.
37.Whydid dictionary writers read important books?
A.Toknowmore about theperiod. B.Tocollect words and theiruses.
C.Tounderstand different subjects. D.Tolearn to useinteresting words.
38.Which shows thecorrect steps ofhow dictionaries were made in thepast?
A. ①-③-④② B. ①-②-④-③ C. ③-④-②-① D. ③-①-④-②
39.What can we learn from thepassage about dictionary writingin thepast?
A. It should bedonebyhistorians. B. It was a task ofinventing and recording.
C.It was long-time hard work. D. It had to usethelaw-making rules.
40.What does the writeradvise us todowhen we choosewords in communication?
A. Beopen to thenew uses ofwords. B. Follow thedictionary strictly.
C.Use onlinedictionaries instead. D.Try tocreate new words.

greener.Thesedays, green architecture is becoming moreand morepopular. 42
英语试卷 第 7 页（共 10 页）We need to be very careful about the materials (材料) we use. It is better to choose
renewable materials-- those that the Earth replaces quickly. 43 Also, for those
materials that are not renewable, we need to use them as little as possible. Our mother Earth
hasoffered usmany otherpossibilities, such as wind and solarpower.
Planners must think about the needs of those who will spend time in green buildings. In
many cases, green energy is more comfortable for people. 44 Natural lighting is
often kinder to the eyes than electric lighting. In fact, many people who live or work in
green buildings report feeling happier and healthier.
45 For example, they might try to use as little land as possible. If a building
covers a large area, there will be less space for plants and trees. They also have to think
about cuttingdown wasteand pollution whilethebuildingwork is going on.
