On the Iraq-Syria border, a pack of wild dogs circled a group of American soldiers for food. The 36 of the pack was a gray-and-white dog. The soldiers called him Nubs. Nubs was shaking and 37 able to stand. Marine major Brian Dennis looked closer and saw that there was a knife wound 38 his chest.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(共20小题; 每小题 2分, 满分40分)

A

I went to a nearby car factory today with my uncle, who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work was done by robots. Welding (焊接), painting, testing and many other jobs are performed by robots. The whole dashboard (仪表板) is put into a car by a robot. It would have taken two men to do so in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit.

It got me thinking: Is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On the one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They are not likely to make many mistakes. If something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing every time, but a human worker is unable to do so. On the other hand, robots reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (补偿) if they’re broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burns himself while welding.

The obvious downside is that robots increase unemployment rate, which in turn increases taxes. We don’t want to pay for those who are out of work just because a company has replaced them with robots.

56. We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.

A. all the workers have been replaced by robots

B. robots do most of the work in the car factory

C. there are no workers with back strain now

D. the author’s uncle designs robots in the factory

57. The second paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. the author’s experience in a car factory

B. the advantages of robots over human workers

C. the advantages of human workers over robots

D. the management of factory workers

58. According to the passage, robots _______.

A. never break down

B. cost companies more money

C. can work as accurate
