When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.

Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world It’s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago. W. Va. and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines – some of the most dangerous work in the business
The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real sense of logic, which is hard to believe. If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person.
The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safely, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990,fatalities (致命性) have declined by 67 percent and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.
46. The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because_____.
A. it’s a bit smaller
B. it can map abandoned mines
C. it can see in the dark tunnel
D. it has a real sense of logic
47. The underlined phrase “throws a bit” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.
A gets angry B. gets sick
C. becomes hungry D. becomes cheerful
48. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.
A. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
B. there will be no need for human workers in mines
C. the mine robots will have a very bright future
D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
49. We can learn from the text that _____.
A. a mining robots can help miners have an operation
B. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
C. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
D. robots have helped improve the safety of mining
50. What can be the best title for the text
A. Mining Accidents in America
B. Robots in Mines
C. Cave Crawler, the Latest Robot
D. The Future of Robots

After graduating from college, Tan Minyan decided to become a cemetery custodian (守墓人).
“With four colleagues, I don’t need to worry about any complicated relationships,” the 22-year-old girl shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory (宿舍) and canteen are in the same building, the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.” Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.
According to the survey by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5,000 college students questioned said they bad mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.
Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing, is one of them. The 29-year-old young man told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school. To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.
“The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close,” he told China Daily. “Their attention makes me nervous, and I don’t know how to respond.”
Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted (内向的), la ck confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic (生成创伤的) interpersonal relationships. Wang also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.
According to China Daily, Wang’s suggested solution was as follows: People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.
51. Why is Tan Minyan’s experience mentioned at the beginning of the text
A. To suggest an alternative career path.
B. To lead up to the topic of social anxiety.
C. To illustrate what young people value in their work.
D. To present people’s attitudes toward her profession.
52. What do we know about people with social anxiety disorder
A They are unwilling to help others. B. They find it hard to do everyday tasks.
C. They feel uneasy when asking for favors. D. They always feel curious in public places.
53. What does the underlined word “trivial” most probably mean
A. Urgent. B. Influential. C. Unimportant. D. Complicated.
54. What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do
A. Join a social anxiety support group. B. Go outside to relax themselves.
C. Seek help from a professional. D. Engage in more social activities.
55. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Tan Minyan feels as if she has retired early.
B. More than 4,000 college students questioned had mild social anxiety disorder.
C. People with the social anxiety disorder could speak confidently in front of large groups.
D. Most of the people with social anxiety disorder are introverted.

I’m not an athlete, but I am a lover of the Olympics. My biggest sports moment ever didn’t require me to be the fastest, the highest, or the strongest. It just required me to be in the right place at the right time, and catch the opportunity when it came to me. It was to carry our national flag for the Olympic Torch Relay.
As a part of the celebration, flag bearers (旗手) were needed. I served in the army at that time and the Olympic organizers asked for volunteers to help carry some of the flags. Although it demanded that I give up part of my weekends and get up early, I thought that it was the chance of a lifetime.
There were several different groups that took part in the event as flag bearers. We soldiers were going to be out in front leading them. On the day of the event, we arrived early at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Many people arrived to see the flame arrive from Greece, and the beginning of the Olympic Torch Relay. It was exciting to wait for our turn to enter the coliseum.
As a flag bearer, I was supposed to run out in front. Though the flag was fairly heavy, I picked it up and ran with it. I ran past rows of people. I ran through television cameras. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, being able to carry our national flag in an international event like the Olympics. I was very proud of it.
I had never been able to attend the Olympics, and I might never be important enough to carry an Olympic torch or anything like that, but I did get to carry our national flag in the torch relay, although I will no longer have the opportunity to carry the flag in the Olympics, and that would be one sports experience that would be difficult to forget.

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.

After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.

C
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world It’s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago. W. Va. and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines – some of the most dangerous work in the business
The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real sense of logic, which is hard to believe. If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person.
The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safely, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990,fatalities (致命性) have declined by 67 percent and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.
46. The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because_____.
A. it’s a bit smaller
B. it can map abandoned mines
C. it can see in the dark tunnel
D. it has a real sense of logic
47 The underlined phrase “throws a bit” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.
A. gets angry B. gets sick
C. becomes hungry D. becomes cheerful
48. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.
A. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
B. there will be no need for human workers in mines
C. the mine robots will have a very bright future
D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
49. We can learn from the text that _____.
A. a mining robots can help miners have an operation
B. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
C. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
D. robots have helped improve the safety of mining
50. What can be the best title for the text
A. Mining Accidents in America
B. Robots in Mines
C. Cave Crawler, the Latest Robot
D. The Future of Robots
【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. C 50. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了专家们正试图让机器人帮助矿工做危险的工作，介绍了这种类型机器人的发展历程以及如今面临的问题等情况。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real sense of logic, which is hard to believe.(最新的设计被称为洞穴爬行者。它比土拨鼠小一点，但更先进。它可以拍摄照片和视频，并有更多的传感器，可以发现危险气体的存在。这个机器人有真正的逻辑意识，这很难让人相信。)”可知，最新的机器人比Groundhog更先进，主要是因为它有真正的逻辑感。故选D。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“ If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person.(如果它遇到一个东西，它就会感到困惑。它必须思考整个过程和下一步该怎么走，有时它就像一个真实的人一样throws a bit 。)”可知，遇到障碍时机器人会感到迷惑，然后思考程序和下一步该怎么走。有时(障碍不能解决时)也会像人一样大发脾气。throw a fit意为“大发脾气”，A选项gets angry（变得生气）符合题意。故选A。
【48题详解】

After graduating from college, Tan Minyan decided to become a cemetery custodian (守墓人).
“With four colleagues, I don’t need to worry about any complicated relationships,” the 22-year-old girl shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory (宿舍) and canteen are in the same building, the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.” Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.
According to the survey by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5,000 college students questioned said they bad mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.
Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing, is one of them. The 29-year-old young man told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school. To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.
“The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close,” he told China Daily. “Their attention makes me nervous, and I don’t know how to respond.”
Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted (内向的), la ck confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic (生成创伤的) interpersonal relationships. Wang also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.
According to China Daily, Wang’s suggested solution was as follows: People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.
51. Why is Tan Minyan’s experience mentioned at the beginning of the text
A. To suggest an alternative career path.
B. To lead up to the topic of social anxiety.
C. To illustrate what young people value in their work.
D. To present people’s attitudes toward her profession.
52. What do we know about people with social anxiety disorder
A. They are unwilling to help others. B. They find it hard to do everyday tasks.
C. They feel uneasy when asking for favors. D. They always feel curious in public places.
53. What does the underlined word “trivial” most probably mean
A. Urgent. B. Influential. C. Unimportant. D. Complicated.
54. What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do
A. Join a social anxiety support group. B. Go outside to relax themselves.
C. Seek help from a professional. D. Engage in more social activities.
55. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Tan Minyan feels as if she has retired early.
B. More than 4,000 college students questioned had mild social anxiety disorder.
C. People with the social anxiety disorder could speak confidently in front of large groups.

I’m not an athlete, but I am a lover of the Olympics. My biggest sports moment ever didn’t require me to be the fastest, the highest, or the strongest. It just required me to be in the right place at the right time, and catch the opportunity when it came to me. It was to carry our national flag for the Olympic Torch Relay.
As a part of the celebration, flag bearers (旗手) were needed. I served in the army at that time and the Olympic organizers asked for volunteers to help carry some of the flags. Although it demanded that I give up part of my weekends and get up early, I thought that it was the chance of a lifetime.
There were several different groups that took part in the event as flag bearers. We soldiers were going to be out in front leading them. On the day of the event, we arrived early at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Many people arrived to see the flame arrive from Greece, and the beginning of the Olympic Torch Relay. It was exciting to wait for our turn to enter the coliseum.
As a flag bearer, I was supposed to run out in front. Though the flag was fairly heavy, I picked it up and ran with it. I ran past rows of people. I ran through television cameras. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, being able to carry our national flag in an international event like the Olympics. I was very proud of it.
I had never been able to attend the Olympics, and I might never be important enough to carry an Olympic torch or anything like that, but I did get to carry our national flag in the torch relay, although I will no longer have the opportunity to carry the flag in the Olympics, and that would be one sports experience that would be difficult to forget.
