I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a loud voice boom from across the aisle. “Mom, come here! There’s a lady here my size!” The mother rushed to the boy she called Mickey; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, “It’ s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Mickey, I’m Darryl Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I answered. “Why are you so little?” he asked. “It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After about five more minutes of answering questions, I shook Mickey’s hand, and he returned to his mother. My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents. It has taken many years to develop my confidence to be able to do that. It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet, nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (患软骨发育不全症的侏儒). Despite this, my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up. When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes, I got a two-wheel bike. When they roller-skated, I roller-skated. I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. There, a few kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. After that, I began to hate the first day of school each year. As time went on, I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality. I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People look in disbelief when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side. During those times, I try to keep a good attitude. And it’s the children’s questions that make my life special. When I talk with children, they leave content that their questions have been answered. My hope is that in taking time with them, I will encourage them to accept their peers, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect. 【1】The mother apologized to the author because she thought ______. A.her son mistook the author for her B.her son was too noisy in the supermarket C.what her son said to the author was rude D.her son might have frightened the author 【2】How did the author’s parents bring her up when she was growing up? A.They taught her at home by themselves. B.They inspired her to live as a normal kid. C.They encouraged her to be the best bicyclist. D.They often reminded her that she was different from other kids. 【3】The word “diminished” underlined in the second-to-last paragraph probably means ______. A.decreased B.spread C.occurred D.focused 【4】Why does the author enjoy talking to children? A.She thinks they are lovely and full of curiosity. B.She can get strength and encouragement from them. C.She feels safe and confident to communicate with them. D.She wants to teach them to accept people for who they are. |

In many countries of the world, people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or city, but most people who live in Manchester, Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history. Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word “Britain” is Celtic. Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra”. This is why there are so many place names in England which end in “-chester” or “-caster” – Manchester, for example. The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland, and many place names there are Celtic (凯尔特语的). For example, Welsh place names that begin with “Llan” come from the Celtic word for church. After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by tribes (部落) called the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland. Without the Roman army, it was impossible to protect the country from these people. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham” or “-ton”. Some got their name from the leader of the village, so Birmingham, for example, means “Beormund’s village”. The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (“village on a hill” – a good place to build a village) and Moreton (“village by a lake”, where floods could make life tough). Place names that end in “-ford” (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages. Twelve hundred years ago, the Vikings came to England from Scandinavia. They traded with the Anglo-Saxons but lived in their own villages. These often ended in “-by” or “-thorpe”. The name “Kirkby” means “a village with a church” and Scunthorpe was the village of a man called Skuma. Finally, in 1066, England became Norman – the Normans gave us the place name “grange”, which means farm. And how about London? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants (居民). People once believed that the United Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle (城堡) of a King called Lud, but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fastflowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time. 【1】The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because of ______. A.the death of ancient languages B.their lack of interest in the names C.the long lost history of the names D.the frequent changes to the names 【2】According to the article, Stratford-upon-Avon is most likely a town built______. A.beside a river B.near a castle C.on a hill D.with a church 【3】Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants in Britain? A.The Celts — The Romans — The Vikings — The Normans — The Anglo Saxons B.The Celts — The Romans — The Anglo Saxons — The Vikings — The Normans C.The Romans — The Celts — The Vikings — The Anglo Saxons — The Normans D.The Romans — The Anglo Saxons — The Celts — The Normans — The Vikings 【4】According to the text, where did the name for London come from? A.It is short for Londinium. B.It’s from the term for a river. C.It is puzzling and hard to confirm. D.It comes from the castle of a King. |

A new type of robot could help industries to cut costs and make better products. Industrial robots have long been dangerous, caged creatures. But in recent years, the barriers between robots and humans have been coming down. A friendlier type of robot has begun appearing on the factory floor – and with it, a new way of working that could cut costs in many industries. One area that has benefited hugely is the car industry. “In a car plant, a vehicle is produced every minute, and approximately 1,000 cars are made a day,” said Adolfo Suarez Roos, the Airbus Group expert who works with robotics on the French National Research Agency project ICARO. On the project, robots are able to help workers with repetitive tasks. Suarez is hopeful the same success can be enjoyed while making planes. But given that robotics isn’t as widely used, the challenges are very different. “When making cars ,a robot has 40 seconds to do its job and the complete programming task takes about a month,” he said. “At Airbus, we produce 1.5 aircraft per day, so we have to look at tasks that will last several hours. We need mobile robots and a very simple way to program the robot.” At Cranfield University, the EPSRC Centre in Intelligent Automation is trying to make this a reality for flight. An important part of the work is understanding how tasks can be divided between industrial robots and human operators to make use of the skills of both. When man and machine are working together over long periods of time, engineers are looking at how human can improve the robot or the robot can improve the human. The project, called Futurassy, last year began introducing the robots to perform the processes that could be used across other sites by Airbus, an aircraft company. The first robotic unit bought by Airbus arrived last year, and is now used at the A380 station, where humans now work with the robot. Key to the success of this project is safety, and making sure that the barriers between human and robot are just enough to still allow a productive working relationship. Prof Phil Webb claims there is no doubt that the number of robots putting together aircraft will increase significantly over the next few years. Cost pressures placed on the traditional centers in North America and Europe mean they soon won’t have a choice but to move ahead with robotics. 【1】Which industry has benefited a lot from robotics according to the article? A.The car industry. B.The plane industry. C.The computer industry. D.The service industry. 【2】What are the main difficulties of using robots to make planes? a. The high cost of robots. b. The safety of using robots. c. The poor creativity of robots. d. Task division between human and robots. e. Finding an easy way to program the robots. A.a, b, c B.b, c, d C.b, d, e D.a, c, e 【3】What is the main factor that has pushed the aircraft industry to move ahead with robotics? A.Technology development. B.Cost pressures. C.A shortage of workers. D.The low efficiency of workers. 【4】What is the article mainly about? A.Safety tips for robotics in industries. B.The aircraft industry’s difficult situation. C.The use of robots in the aircraft industry. D.The advantages and disadvantages of robots. |

It is very common for a classroom to have a world map on the wall. However, a new map, called the AuthaGraph World Map, might replace the old maps. 【1】 This surprised many because earlier winners of the important award have been things like robots and mobility chairs. But this map is very special, because it is more accurate than the maps you have used at school. This is because it is difficult to copy the 3-D, spherical surface (球面) of the world onto a 2-D map. 【2】 This means places like North America look much bigger than they really are. North America looks the same size as Africa, even though Africa is much bigger. 【3】 Many people have tried to fix this problem, but until now they haven’t been successful. 【4】Created by Japanese designer Hajime Narukawa, it cuts the globe into 96 equal triangles and puts them into a tetrahedron (四面体) shape. In this way, the designer keeps the proportions (比例) of the land and water the same when going from a 3-D sphere to a 2-D map. The map is already being used in Japanese school textbooks. According to the Good Design Award judges, it is the best example of what the planet really looks like. 【5】 A.It recently won Japan’s 2016 Good Design Award. B.That means the body of the world has been changed. C.Bodies of water and land are distorted (变形) because of this. D.It recently becomes very popular in Japan and catch much attention. E.The AuthaGraph World Map appears to have solved the problem using geometry(几何学). F.Similarly, Alaska looks bigger than Brazil, even if Brazil is more than five times bigger in real life. G.However, they did suggest increasing the accuracy further by cutting the world into even smaller pieces. |

Early in my career, I was always struck by the fact that “expensive” hotels charged extra for things like internet access and movies. At the same time, more ______ hotels included everything. Although these less expensive hotels did not have _______ lobbies (大堂), they did offer the things that a young and tired _______ would want: a clean room and a quiet environment. For the high prices you pay at nice hotels, everything should be ______. They should give refunds (退款) for the things you don’t _______ instead of cheating their customers. I once read an article about a judge who was invited to a very expensive restaurant in Washington. The restaurant’s food and service were both _______. But there was something that ruined the ________: the judge was charged $1 for the ice in his $7 mixed drink.

Needless to say, he ______ went back to that restaurant. I see the ______ thing is starting to happen in the airline industry. For example, American Airlines is charging $3.50 for snacks and $7 for meals. ______ , sodas and water are still free.
