Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished sentences numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Robot Revolution? Scientists Teach Robots to Learn
Would a robot serving you coffee in bed make waking up easier on weekend mornings? Could a household robot help an elderly relative who is living alone? How would you like to climb into a robotic car and eat breakfast with kids while you're all driven to school and work?
These scenarios (情况) may sound like science fiction, but experts say they're a lot closer to becoming reality than you probably think.
Brown University roboticist Chad Jenkins expects a near-term robot revolution that will echo the computing revolution of recent decades. And he says it will be driven by enabling robots to learn more like humans do—by watching others demonstrate behaviors and asking questions.
"The robots you're seeing now mostly are analogous (相似的) to the mainframe computer of the 1970s," Jenkins said. "But you're starting to see things develop. The vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器), the drones (无人机), those are the initial steps," he said, referring to iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner, which has autonomously cleaned millions of homes since its 2002 debut (初次露面).
"And these platforms are going to get cheaper while becoming more capable and more compact." he added.
And entrepreneurs like Dmitry Grishin, founder of a major Russian investment firm dedicated to personal robotics, have taken notice. He says the industry could be worth $18 billion by 2015.
And to really transform, roboticists say, robots will have to evolve from machines that can perform only the tasks that they're programmed to do into automatons that can truly learn. That's because it's impossible to pre-program a robot for everything it will encounter in the ever-changing real world.
"If you look at where robots are successful right now, it's primarily in applications where the environment is very controlled, like an assembly line where everything is the same, or in the hands of experts with PhDs, where we see them on Mars," said Chernova.
"To really get them to handle the complexities of our real world," she said, "they are going to have to be customized on site. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but it's very close."
Such a leap could help bring robots into the mainstream.
36、According to this passage, a robot in the future can ______.
A．wake you up earlier on Saturday and Sunday mornings
B．serve you coffee in the bed
C．build the helpful house for homeless elderly people
D．pick up your children from school when you have your breakfast
37、Chad Jenkins believes that ______.
A．a robot revolution will happen before the computing revolution
B．a robot revolution will be driven by making robots like humans
C．the robot revolution happened in the 1970s
D．drones are the initial steps of development
38、Dmitry Grishin ______.
A．is a major Russian investment firm
B．is an entrepreneur who works in a robot company
C．established an investment firm
D．established a robot company
39、Robots have to become automatons that can truly learn because ______.
A．they are going to be cheaper
B．they are ever-changing machines
C．it's impossible to pre-program a robot for everything it will meet with
D．the robots can perform only tasks that they're programmed to do
40、Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______
A．The drones are the initial steps of the robot revolution.
B．The robot platforms are going to be invaluable.
C．Robots will learn more like humans do in the future.
D．Robots can work successfully where the environment is very controlled.

Learning Business Skills Through Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement is an international movement to educate young people about business and economics for the purpose of helping them prepare to succeed in the world economy. The organization is the largest of its kind.
Junior Achievement has gone through different stages in its development. It was started by the business leader, Horace Moses and Theodore Vail, and Senator Murray Crane in 1919 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The organization started with a small number of children aged ten to twelve. For more than 50 years, Junior Achievement programs met after school as a group of business clubs. But in 1975, Junior Achievement began to offer classes during school hours. Many more young people joined the organization once it began to teach business skills as part of the school day. In 2004, Junior Achievement Worldwide was formed.
The Junior Achievement programs teach about businesses, how they are organized, and how products are made and sold. The programs also teach about the American and world economics and business operations. Young people can learn how entrepreneurship works by operating their own companies. For instance, the students develop a product and sell shares in their company. They use their money to buy the materials they need to make their product, which they then sell. Finally, they return the profits to the people who bought shares in the company. It is reported that in the United States alone, there are more than 22,000 places that hold Junior Achievement events currently. According to Junior Achievement, about 287,000 volunteers support its programs around the world.

Task 4
Directions: In this part, you are going to read a passage with 5 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the one from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph no more than once. The 5 statements are numbered 51 to 55. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. You should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Prepare for Your Career at College
A. College is about many things, from learning about special subjects and the word in general, to increasing your breadth through a broad range of new and different experiences. But for almost everybody, college is at its core, mainly concerned with one thing: preparing you for a career.
B. "Prepare" is a qualified word. College in no way makes you an expert in any field. Only experience will do that. But what college can do is to make you qualified to begin to gain that experience. It gives you the necessary skills to start on a journey that probably would not have been an option, had you not taken time to set your degree.
C. But the degree alone is not enough to ensure that such a journey will begin any time soon. What you need, in addition to a diploma (along with the knowledge and skills it embodies), is a plan. Without a plan, you're leaving your fate up to chance, which means you could end up anywhere. There are overqualified, underemployed college grads waiting tables in every city, especially during tough economic times. But even during tough times, there are also grads from every college and university who end up with excellent career paths, immediately upon leaving school.
D. What is the difference between the two? Talent? Connection? Luck? Yes, sometimes. But, there is one thing that makes it different between those who let life happen to them and those who take active control over their own careers, lives, and destinies. To get where you want to go, you must make some decisions, and then make a plan.
E. A student without a post-college plan is much less likely to get off to an early start than a student with a plan. Indeed, freshmen year is not too early to be thinking about your first job out of school. This is because college affords many opportunities to increase your chances of getting a great job. Opportunities include summer jobs, internships, extracurricular activities, and even the specific courses you take.
F. Planning is not only important for increasing your odds of getting any job but it's also important for getting the right job. So start preparing your career now.
51、The difference between underemployed and overqualified college grads is that the former let life happen to them while the latter make good career plans at college.
52、Whether or not your career journey will begin anytime depends on not only a college degree, but also a plan.
53、Summer jobs and internships can increase your chances of getting a great job.
54、Basically what college should do is to help you prepare for a career.
55、College can bring you many benefits except making you an expert in any field.

A new study indicates that the logo on Apple products, like iPods, iPhones, iMacs, stimulates your brain. The study found that people who were shown the Apple logo scored higher on a creativity test than those who were exposed to the IBM logo, presumably because they were mirroring the traits they associate with those logos. People find that, when they think about the Apple logo, they think very strongly about association with creativity.
