周五The party began shortly after Mr. Wood, who lived in the fla t below, signed to himself as he heard excited voices and the noisy music. Luckily he had 36 some work home from the office, 37 he kept himself busy for a couple of hours, thus managing to pay no attention to the noise 38 . But by eleven o’clock he felt 39 and was ready to go to bed, though from his earlier experience he knew it was 40 trying to get to sleep. He undressed and lay for a while on the bed, trying to read, but he 41 himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off the light and 42 his head in the pillow. But 43 he could not shut 44 the noise, finally, after 45 seemed hours, his 46 was gone.He jumped out of bed, 47 some clothing, marched 48 up the stairs, and walked into his neighbor’s flat. The owner of the flat, who 49 him in his dressing gown, came 50 the room and, 51 Mr. Wood could say anything, cried, “My dear fellow, e and 52 . I know our parties 53 you. I meant to send you 54 .” Mr. Wood’s anger disappeared then and there. He said, “I’d better go and get 55 ” Minutes later, he returned, properly dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.36．A. taken B. carried C. broughtD. fetched37．A. with which B. from which C. whereD. when38．A. outside B. overhead C. downstairsD. nearby39．A. bad B. tired C. sick D. hopeless40．A. useless B. necessary C. possible D. helpful41．A. had B. found C. caughtD. felt42．A. buried B. rested C. shookD. turned43．A. till then B. worse still C. strange enough D. even so44．A. away B. off C. downD. up45．A. it B. what C. thatD. which46．A. sleep B. strength C. patienceD. anger47．A. pulled on B. dressed up C. selectedD. wore48．A. sadly B. proudly C. quietlyD. firmly49．A. made fun of B. stared at C. was angry with caught sight of50．A. across B. around C. towardsD. by51．A. as B. before C. though D.un til52．A. meet as B. sit here C. join us D.scold me53．A. may trouble B. would trouble C. may botherD. must bother54．A. a notice B. a message C. an invitation D.an apology55．A. washed B. changed C. dressedD. prepared1. a couple of2. undress3.over and over again4. disappear5. only to doIn the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas.Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark thanboys and are better at learning foreign languages.What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer isthe brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The leftside generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side isused for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area usedfor language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides ofa man’s brain are connected by a smaller nerves than the two sides of awoman’s brain are.70.

Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality（公国）, though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.Facing the blue Mediterranean（地中海）, Monaco is mainly made up of twocities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince（王子）stands, and Monte Carlo（蒙特卡洛）, which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world e to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too.61.

But increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are g oing to make the leap from the factory floor to your family room.panies like Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves. On the cover of a recent issue of Scientific Americanmagazine, Bill Gates predicted the “Dawn of the Age of Robots”.What’s behind this new era (时代)? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. They are being made smaller and smaller. They are also being more and more energy efficient.A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day Robert Adler invented the television remote control in the 1950s, people around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get lazier.Also taking into consideration the increasing wealth of rich people, the time appears ripe to introduce robots to ease our daily lives.To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still too plex for our present engineering abilities. Today’s robot revolution isto make them for everyday use. Robots will do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening, or just help you have more fun on the basketball court.What makes a robot different from an ordinary cleaning machine is not the presence of puter chips (芯片). Nowadays even your microwave has a puter chip.It is the ability to sense and make changes to the environment in real time.For example, a floor-cleaning robot should be able to sense your scared cat and move out of the way. Today’s puting ability is, for the first time, able to make machines that could “think”, at least in cert ain limited ways.Robot RevolutionWhat today’s robot can do What 5 robot may do＊talk like people＊recognize and 1 toyour voice＊sen se and make some changes to the 6 ＊work in the 2＊ 7 your dog＊ 8 your floor＊move around, like walking or3 on wheels＊ 9 you up＊think in some limited 4＊ 10 you on the basketball court英语谚语：Better late than never. 迟做总比不做好。
