第Ⅰ卷

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）

（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）

A

Recently, I was invited to a writing class at my old high school. I accepted the __41__ because it’s always fun to see what young writers are up to. A few hours before the class, I got the __42__ that I often get before I go into a school — nausea(反胃) and the fear that I’m about to get into __43__.

When I __44__ into a school, all the old feelings come back：__45__ teacher is going to get mad at me; the headmaster is going to make me take a note home.

But I’m not alone in having __46__ feelings from school days. Often people talk about bad __47__they still have about being unprepared for a(n) __48__ test. Others say that being picked on and not being __49__ for a team are still terrible memories for them. So it’s no __50__ that adults sometimes act like they’re still in school.

My __51__ memories are about teachers getting mad at me. I was often ashamed of the serious crime of “talking out of turn”， a guy who couldn’t keep his __52_ shut.

I realize that the answer is to face the feelings, __53__ avoid them. So I volunteer at a school once a week. Each week, I’m a little more __54__ when I walk into the office to _55__. And I admit that sometimes when the headmaster __56__ me with a smile, I think he’s planning to call my mother to say I should dress a little nicer __57__ I visit his school. But by the end of my time there, I feel __58__.

Now I’m __59__ my next volunteer day at school. In fact, I might get there a little earlier so I can spend __60__ more time there.

When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.

Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.

We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too.

Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.

Jeff Clune is a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming. He says robots also help people in natural disasters.

Robots are deployed in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.

Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.

“The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”

He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.

Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Their findings were reported in the journal “Nature”.

Mr. Clune said that once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.

He says the robots are also programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.

66. At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions dogs to __________.

A. provide examples of how animals deal with unexpected injury

B. show how scientists get inspiration from dogs to develop technology

C. introduce the topic in a more attractive way

D. suggest that scientists shouldn’t ignore the similarity between dogs and robots.

67. According to the passage, nowadays robots can’t __________.

A. play chess or clean the house

B. be sent on a mission to explore on the Mars

C. help people in search?and?rescue?operations?following?an?earthquake

D. examine?the?wreckage?of?a?nuclear?accident

68. Why are Mr.Clune and other scientists devoted to developing the technology?

A. They want to succeed in programming robots with child-like curiosity.

B. They?expect to enable robots?to continue?working?despite injury under difficult conditions.

C. They intend to make robots which can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.

D. They are determined to design a more powerful robot for Mars exploration.

69. Now scientists have developed robots that, once damaged, can __________.

A. rely on their functions to figure out a way to handle the emergency.

B. figure out the best way to get around in a short time

C. spend about a second finding a way to overcome damage

D. maintain their child-like curiosity and keep asking people around for solutions

Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.

Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.

People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal (内在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external (外在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.

Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which t
