It’s a sad story: someone keeps failing an exam for four years. It’s the story of Torobo, a robot from Japan.
Torobo has been trying to enter the University of Tokyo in Japan. The university, also called Todai, is one of Asia’s top universities. Since 2013, Torobo has taken the national college entrance exam with other Japanese students. However, the robot has failed to get the required (必需的) score for Todai every year. This year was no exception.
Torobo is part of a project called “Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo?” Japan’s National Institute of Informatics started the project in 2011. Torobo does not walk around. It is a robot brain that has arms to complete the test.
Researchers of the project want to find out what intellectual abilities (智力) will be replaced by machines. Results show that Torobo has grown in ability year by year. This year it got a score higher than Japan’s national average (平均分), which is enough to enter other good universities, but not Todai. With its big database（数据库）, Torobo is good at solving knowledge-based questions and mathematical calculations (数学运算). That’s why it got good scores in physics, history and math. But Torobo has a hard time thinking independently (独立地). As a result, it got weak scores in language and writing.
Luckily, after four years of suffering, researchers have decided to free Torobo from taking the test. They will grow Torobo’s ability in the fields it’s doing well in, so that it can be used in those industries (工业) in the future.
So while Torobo will never graduate from Todai, it can still look forward to a bright future! 51. According to the story, Torobo is while Todai is ____________.
A. a university, a robot B. a robot, a university C. a student, a computer D. a computer, a student 52. We can tell from the story that Torobo __________ for four years.
A. has passed the college entrance exam B. has failed the college entrance exam
C. has been studying in the University of Tokyo D. has taught the college courses
53. Which subject does Toboro NOT do well in?
A. Physics. B. Math. C. History. D. Writing. 54. Which of the following is TRUE about Torobo?
A. Torobo can’t have a bright future because it will never graduate from Todai. B. Torobo will go on taking the college entrance exam. C. Torobo is useless to humans.
D. Torobo’s ability in the fields it’s doing well in will be better in the future.

55. Why did Torobo get low scores in two subjects?
A. Because it cannot solve knowledge-based problems. B. Because it is not good at mathematical calculations. C. Because it cannot think independently.
D. Because it only has arms to complete the test. II. 名著阅读考查（共 5 题，每题 1 分，计 5 分）

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers(祖先) had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers some people in some other places liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were useless to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement（协议）was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the frogs and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.
No one noticed the change at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not growing so well. What’s worse, the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around recently. So they had to use the money they made to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frogs. The people thought they were useless, but they had been doing an important job —eating insects. Now because they killed so many frogs, the insects were growing more quickly. They were eating the crops and spreading (传播) illnesses.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 6. From paragraph 1, we learn that the villagers .

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.
At this time, a deep voice said, “ if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “that’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across.” said the desert.
“Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.
“The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.”
Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.

We see many animals every day, but we would be worried if we saw any of these animals on our way to school!

Walking sharks
In 2006, scientists found a new kind of shark off the coast of Indonesia. It can “walk” with its fins along the coral reefs. These walking sharks are about 1 to 1. 2 metres long. They eat shrimp, crabs and small fish. If they are surprised by something, they can swim away using their fins.
The platypus
The platypus is found along the rivers and lakes of eastern Australia. It lays eggs like a bird, has webbed feet like a frog, a bill like a duck and is as poisonous as a snake! We are pleased to hear that it spends much of its life underground.
An unusual dolphin
In 2006, a Japanese fisherman caught an unusual dolphin. It has an extra set of fins near its tail, about the size of human hands. Scientists say that its extra fins could be the remains of back legs. This may be proof that dolphins once lived on land. Evidence from fossils tells us that dolphins were once four-footed land animals. Scientists believe that as they spent more and more time in the water, their back legs slowly disappeared. 51.

Digital cameras were first used at the end of the 20th century.
Although a digital camera takes an image in the image differently. Instead of recording the image chemically on film, a digital camera records the image electronically as digital information. This is the same kind of information a computer uses.
Digital cameras became popular very quickly. Most people take photos with them rather than with film cameras.
People like to use digital cameras for a number of reasons: ＊They are small and easy to use.
＊They have screens that let the photographer see the picture straightaway. ＊If the image is not right, it can be deleted from the camera. ＊The image can be changed later with a computer program.

During all this time, I never stopped thinking about escape (逃跑). When I travelled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think carefully before I began to work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
In my sixth year on the island, I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
I kept food and tools at both of my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so, many years went by.

Thursday 3 February
We live on the edge（边缘） of a small town north of Sydney. Our house looks out across bush and a gum（橡胶树） tree forest.
We haven’t had much rain this summer, so the forest is very dry. Everyone is worried about bushfires（林区大火）.
People keep asking, “Will this be one of those years?”
I hear so much about bushfires that I’ve decided to keep my own diary over the summer. For weeks, the forest workers were clearing firebreaks（防火障） with bulldozers（推土机）. A firebreak is a gap made in the forest to help stop fire spreading.
13
Softly taps（轻拍） the Spring, and cheerly（欢快的）, Poor old Winter does not love you； Before our town got so big, the forest workers used to burn off parts of the forest in winter so there would be gaps to stop any summer bushfire spreading. This is called a “controlled burn”.
In the last few years, people have built houses near the forest. This has made it dangerous to do any more controlled burns. （选自《新理念英语阅读》） 61. This passage is mainly about . A. a gum forest B. bushfires

Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience(经历) of his childhood. When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn't get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him. His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn't know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one's heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨) to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy” he repeated the woman's words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.
“Unum! Even a dog likes it!” he said. “Well, Tige, I won't say unkind words to you any more.” Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.

When I was 15, my school organized a work experience week .The idea was to make us think about the kinds of jobs we wanted to do in the future. The school careers advisor(职业顾问) talked to us and gave us some tests to do. The tests helped to find out what our interests were and what we were good at. I was good at Maths. I liked working with numbers and I liked talking to people, so the careers advisor told me to think about banking(银行业) as a career. The careers advisor arranged for me to go to a local bank for a day of work experience.
The night before the day, I couldn’t sleep at all. I was very nervous but excited at the same time! The next morning, I put on my smartest clothes. It was nice not to have to wear my school uniform. When I arrived at the bank, the bank manager came out to greet me. He was very friendly. His name was Mr. Watts, but he told me to call him Ian. Ian showed me around the bank. He showed me where the cashier(出纳员) sat and how the computers worked. He showed me the offices in the bank, where the managers worked. He taught me how to look up customers’ information on the computer, so that I could help the customers with their questions about their bank accounts（账户）. I also helped with counting money for people.
I really enjoyed my time working in a bank. It was a very interesting experience. （选自《初中英语读本》八年级上册）
