第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
An online chatting robot named Xiaotu on the website of Tsinghua University’s library had to pause services during the winter vacation because too many visitors wanted to talk to it about absurd matters unrelated to library services.
Xiaotu, which means “little library” in Chinese, has the ability to learn during its conversations with humans, but its designers said it has picked up too much “unsuitable material” from visitors to the website.
“It had been a long time anyway since we last cleared up its database, so we decided to pause the service to do it,” said a design group member surnamed Yao, who works in the university’s library.
Xiaotu’s main functions include answering questions about the library, searching library collections and other search engines, and self-learning.
Design work on Xiaotu started in 2009 and by the end of 2010 it was put online on the homepage of Tsinghua University’s library and on renren.com, a social network similar to Facebook.
On the library’s homepage, it was scoring more than 1,000 visits a day.
But many of the questions were not appropriate to Xiaotu’s role and it learned a lot of language from users which was unrelated to library affairs, and which was often meaningless or worse.
One user asked Xiaotu “Who are your parents?” and it answered “Tsinghua University and Peking University”.
But last week, when students returned for the spring term, Xiaotu was put back into service after its data cleanup.
“We have improved its services and I hope users can teach it useful information now,” said Yao.
56. Why did they pause the robot’s service?
A. To update its software. B. To clear up its database.
C. To repair its hardware. D. To give its users a warning.
57. The robot has all the following functions except__________.
A. answering the visitors’ questions about the library
B. helping the readers to look for the books they want
C. picking up information from visitors’ conversations
D. sorting out unsuitable information from conversations
58. The example given in the eighth paragraph shows that________.
A. some users often asked the robot personal questions
B. the robot was clever enough to answer any questions
C. some of the users tended to talk rubbish to the robot
D. the robot was stupid to give such ridiculous answers
59. Which of the following is TRUE about the robot?
A. It has been broken down forever.
B. It can never talk to its users again.
C. It is back in use after improvement.
D. It will soon be brought back to normal.
60. In the last paragraph, Mr. Yao suggests that________.
A. the robot be improved constantly B. the users teach the robot to learn English
C. the robot refuse to learn bad things D. the users talk to the robot in a better way
B
The Box Jelly has a boxy bell head the size of a basket ball, 4 brains and 5,000 deadly stinging (叮,蜇) cells on each of its 10 to 60 two-meter-long tentacles (触须). It hunts and kills with unbelievable speed and violence.
Known as the most poisonous creature in the world, this “toxic box” is responsible for at least one death a year around Australia and has killed 67 people since records began in 1883, though the total is misleading since many deaths resulting from heart attacks or drowning could have been caused by toxic jellies.
The Box Jellyfish is mostly a problem from October to May.
Symptoms:
61. Which of the following is one of the symptoms caused by jellyfish stings?
A. throwing up what you have eaten B. sweating with the heart beating wildly
C. keeping trembling and screaming D. having swelling and blackening skin
62. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Box jellies tend to attack people between June and September.
B. You can help people stung by jellies by offering them some fruit.

63. Stung by a jellyfish, you should_______.
A. remove the tentacles from the skin by hand
B. wrap the wounded limb as tightly as possible
C. lift your wounded arm up above your head
D. apply anti-venom to the wound if accessible
64. What does the underlined word “toxic” probably mean?
A. Poisonous. B. Magical. C. Beneficial. D. Beautiful.
65. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The box jelly tends to attack people with great speed.
B. Some deaths may be caused by toxic jellies indirectly.
C. Nobody had been killed by the box jelly before 1883.
D. One might be choked to death if stung by a box jelly.

Chinese people don’t seem to be catching much sleep. Doctors say sleeplessness has become the second most serious health problem after headaches over the country, troubling most people between 30 and 50.
According to a study last year on adult sleep quality in six large Chinese cities, about 57 percent of the people who were interviewed have had sleeping problems over the year. And many of them have sleeplessness.
Over the past four years, the number of patients of this sort has increased 3.5 times every year. In 2014, a hospital in Shanghai treated more than 18,000 people with sleeping problems, about 50 every day.
Different seasons make different times appropriate for going to bed and waking up, Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors say. And in both autumn and winter, it’s better to sleep early and eat certain dishes to keep healthy.
A new study in US shows sleep does not change much over the age of 60; and poor sleep is not because of aging, but mostly because of illnesses or medicines used to treat them, says a report in the New York Times. For the old people, back pain and arthritis(关节炎) can interrupt their sleep; stomachaches, emotional states, as well as breathing problems can all cause sleeping problems.
66. Which is the most serious health problem in China now?
A. Sleeplessness. B. Headaches. C. Back pain D. Stomachaches.
67. According to the passage what is NOT the cause of sleeping problems?
A. Aging. B. Illnesses. C. Medicines. D. Emotions.
68. Who are most likely to have sleeplessness?
A. Old people. B. Middle-aged people.
C. People in Shanghai. D. People in poor areas.
69. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Researchers are paying more attention to sleeping problems.
B. 57% of the Chinese people are having sleeping problems.
C. Sleeping habits changes greatly as people get older than 60.
D. In 2014, totally 18,000 Shanghai people had sleeping problems.
70. Which of the tips will most likely lead to a good night’s sleep?
A. Go to bed and get up at the right time B. Have a big meal before going to bed
Also in the folder was a piece of paper listing phone numbers for three Oregon group homes for the developmentally disabled. Jeff quickly picked up the phone and dialed. The first two numbers led nowhere. He dialed the third number, “Do you know Molly Jo Daly?” There had been a long silence, then a man quietly said, “She’s sitting right across from me.”
For about 30 years, beginning in the 1950s, there were thousands of “Mollys” growing up across the United States in state-funded institutions for the mildly to seriously developmentally disabled. In the 1950s, many experts told parents that raising a child with a disability at home would be a burden to other children in the home, so most people felt they had no choice but to send the child away.”
It was February 4, 2004, when Jeff nervously rang the doorbell of the group home where Molly, then 49, was living with four other adults like her. Molly, who has the emotions and intelligence of a young child, is blind in one eye and uses a wheelchair to get around, smiled and shyly turned her head as Jeff came up.
71. How long had the brother and sister been separated from each other before they reunited?
A. 30 years. B. 47 years C. 49 years. D. 57 years.
72. What made Molly separated from her family?
A. Nobody knows the reason.
B. She went away without telling her family.
C. Her parents sent her away.
D. Someone bought her from her family.
73. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Molly’s father and mother died in the same year.
B. Molly had been living alone before February 2004.
C. Molly is a normal person except for her blindness.
D. Molly has always been inside her brother’s heart.
74. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. From the 1950s to the 1980s thousands of American girls were named “Molly”.
B. From the 1950s to the 1980s thousands of American girls were seriously disabled.
C. During those years thousands of American disabled children were going hungry.
D. During those years thousands of American disabled children left their parents.
75. Jeff was about _________ older than his sister
A. 4 yearsB. 6 yearsC. 8 yearsD. 10 years.
第四部分 写作
第一节:阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题2分,共10分。)
[1] Scientists have declared ten rules for a long and happy life. And the rules even allow for sunbathing, drinking alcohol and eating chocolate.
[2] The first rule, as published in the New Scientist magazine, is to enjoy yourself. Second on the list is remaining sociable, with a happy marriage and good family life being essential for health. Studies have shown that marriage can add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two years to a woman’s life.
[3] ____________ also has a huge effect on your health. The world has many “longevity” hot spots where the number of centenarians (百岁老人) is bigger than 10 in 100,000. Hawaii, Sardinia, Nova Scotia and Japan are among them. That is Rule three.
[4] So-called vices like wine, partying and chocolate provide the fourth rule, with countless studies showing that a little of what you fancy does you good rather than harm. The fifth rule says that you should exercise your brain to stay active. Puzzles could help prevent a range of conditions, from depression to schizophrenia. Knitting, doing crosswords or just walking also help.
[5] Rule six is simple. If you’re sick, get treatment fast. The next rule is well-known: you are 77. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (within 3 words)
