3.Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work,others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying.But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes,accompanied by an article from the local paper,has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童話).
       The first envelope was sent to a victim support group.It contained?10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes,each containing?10,000,then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
       The envelopes keep coming,and so far at least?190,000 has been distributed.Last month,one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office.It came after a story it published about Tom,a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident.The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of?500 inside with a copy of the article.The name of the family was underlined.
"I was driving when I heard the news,"Claudia Neumann,the boy's mother,told Der Spiegel magazine."I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."
       The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
"For someone to act so selflessly,for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself,was astonishing,"Mrs.Neumann said.Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character,taking from banks to give to the needy.
       Henning Noske,the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung,said:"Maybe it is an old person who is about to die.We just do not know."However,he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero,for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

56.The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name ofC.
A.a church                        B.a bank                           
C.a newspaper                     D.a magazine
57.Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?D
A.The donation amounted to?190,000.
B.The donation was sent directly to his house.
C.The money will be used for his education.
D.His mother felt astonished at the donation.
58.It can be inferred from the passage thatB.
A.the donator is a rich old man                            
B.the donation will continue to come
C.the donation comes from the newspaper                   
D.the donator will soon be found out
59.What would be the best title for the passage?C
A.Money Is Raised by the Newspaper.
B.Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy.
C.Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes        
D.Robin Hood Returns to the City.

分析 文章大意:本文主要講述一個匿名英雄用信封捐錢來默默傳遞愛心的故事,告訴我們愛心無處不在,要學會用自己的愛來溫暖身邊那些需要幫助的人群,那么這個世界將會變成美好的人間.

解答 56.C  推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的accompanied by an article from the local paper可推知 Braunschweiger Zeitung 是一份報紙的名字,另外在第三段第一句話有一個one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office有提示.
57.D  細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段談到這位受害男孩母親聽到她的孩子被匿名捐贈的消息后表示的一句話"I was speechless"可知她很震驚,很無語.D項表達正確.
58.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話"報紙的編輯告訴記者不要找這個城市的英雄,因為擔心發(fā)現(xiàn)后他就可能不再進行捐贈的活動"也可推知這個匿名捐贈活動還會繼續(xù)下去,B項表達正確.
59.C  推理判斷題.本文主要講述用信封匿名捐贈的事情在社會引起很大反響,這個捐贈者還會繼續(xù)把這個善舉進行下去,用C項Unknown Hero Spreads love in Envelopes"匿名英雄用信封傳遞愛"最能概括文章大意.

點評 做題時需用全文的中心思想統(tǒng)帥各個題目,研究其內在聯(lián)系和邏輯關系,并依次檢查那些還未做好的題目,確保理解無誤.

8.Whether in the home or the workplace,social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year,is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's"Oshbot"robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees."We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,"said Breazeal.

41.How are social robots different from household robots?B.
A.They can control their emotions.
B.They are more like humans.
C.They do the normal housework.
D.They respond to users more slowly.
42.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?D
A.Communicate with you and perform operations.
B.Answer your questions and make requests.
C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D.Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
43.What can Oshbot work as?C.
A.A language teacher.B.A tour guide.
C.A shop assistant.D.A private nurse.
44.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots willB.
A.train employeesB.be our workmates
C.improve technologiesD.take the place of workers
45.What does the passage mainly present?D.
A.A new design idea of household robots.
B.Marketing strategies for social robots.
C.Information on household robots.
D.An introduction to social robots.
