Whether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way，said Cynthia Breazeal，chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework，social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example，these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot，arranged to ship later this year，is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot，ask it questions，and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions；it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans，the more it learns.But Oshbot，like other social robots，is not intended to replace workers，but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us，but with us，”said Breazeal.

(2015·河北衡水三模)
A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes (浮冰). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.
The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn't be frightened.
The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn't seem well. It turned out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.
The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.
Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built icefilled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.
“Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea，” said Peter Simpson of New Zealand's Department of Conservation. “What happens now is up to the penguin.”
Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter (信号发射器) so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.
语篇解读：本文为一篇记叙文。文章记叙了在新西兰，人们合力拯救一只帝企鹅幼崽的故事。
5．Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?
A．On the sunny beach.
B．Near the Antarctic.
C．Inside the hole in the ice.
D．In the depths of the ocean.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“At his age，he should have been close to Antarctic，swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes.”可知，这个年龄段的帝企鹅本该在南极附近。故选B项。
6．The public collected some money to ________.
A．build a home for the penguin
B．get the sand out of the penguin's belly
C．do some research on the penguin
D．return the penguin to his habitat
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach.”可知，公众募捐是为了去除帝企鹅肚子里的沙子。故选B项。
7．What does Peter Simpson mean by saying “What happens now is up to the penguin”？
A．The penguin needs no protection from human.
B．Human beings can do nothing to help penguins.
C．No one knows what will happen to the penguins.
D．Whether the penguin can survive depends on himself.
答案：D 句意猜测题。根据倒数第二段可知，这只帝企鹅回归大海之后，没有了人类的保护只能依靠自己的力量生存下去了。故选D项。
Ⅱ.七选五

Some Ways to Deal With Hardship and Pain in Life
Regardless of the difficulties you way face, it's getting back up and moving forward that counts the most when you need to deal with hardship. __1__
Write or talk about how you feel
Keeping my feelings to myself used to make me feel lonely, but when I found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how I felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situations.__2__Although talking to strangers about your issues may seem crazy, it actually isn't.
__3__
It is said that running away from your problems will never help，and though that's partially true，it doesn't mean that you need to make yourself go so deeply into a situation that you run out of air to breathe and lose the ability to weigh the pros and cons of your choices.That happens more than we like to admit，which is why it's important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders.
Remind yourself that you're not alone
Regardless of who or what you depend on，you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care.__4__ Sometimes it's strangers who may share the same feelings as you do.Think about ityou may not know any of these readers personally but they could be in the exact same situation as you，so in fact，no one is truly alone.
Accept the results and get back up again
__5__ Whether the results of your choices proved to be helpful or not, it's time for you to accept them and get back up.This time you have a new experience to add to your book of life so the next time something tries to knock you down，it won't be easy because you will be strong and determined to push forward.Life will go on，time will never stand still，and it rests upon you to make the right decision of moving forward.
A．Separate yourself from the situation.
B．Tell yourself to accept the hardship.
C．Finally，it's time to accept what has happened.
D．All in all，remember that life is short.
E．Not only did I speak to him about how I felt，but I decided to blog about it.
F．Here are some things I've tried just to help me believe in a brighter future and get over a tough situation.
G．Even if it's just one person，that's enough to give you reason to remind yourself that you will never truly be alone.
语篇解读：本文讲述如何处理生活中的困难与痛苦。
1．F 根据本文的题目是Some Ways to Deal With Hardship and Pain in Life可知第一段最后一句话必须是引出下方，故选F 下面有一些建议可能会对你有所帮助，渡过难关。
2．E 根据上文提到“when I found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how I felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situations.”当我找到真正关心我的人时，与他分享我的感受就变得很自然，故选E不仅仅说出我的感受， 我还决定用博客写出来。
3．A 根据第三段提到“That happens more than we like to admit，which is why it's important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders”这些事情的发生会超过我们的认知，所以把自己与这种状况隔离开是很重要的，故选A项。
4．G 根据上文提到“Regardless of who or what you depend on，you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care”不管你有没有依靠，你需要提醒自己你不是孤独的，你还有人关心，可能下方就要进行对比，故选G即使你一个人，也要提醒自己你不是真正的孤独。
5．C 根据上文提到“Accept the results and get back up again”接受结果，再次出发，故下面讲的是接受现实，因此选C项。
Ⅲ.语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

语篇解读：一个人的饮食习惯对健康有很大的影响。文章对比了中西方的饮食习惯，并建议人们养成良好的饮食习惯。
1．a 句意：……因为我们每天吃的东西对我们的健康有很大影响。根据句意可知，设空处后的impact(可数名词)在本句中表示泛指，故用不定冠词。
2．As 句意：我们都知道，熏烤、油炸食品可能很好吃……。本句考查非限制性定语从句。先行词为后面一句话，关系词在定语从句中作宾语且定语从句置于句首，故用as引导。
3．tasty 设空处需用形容词作表语，taste的形容词形式为tasty，意为：好吃的。
4．probably 句意：……但熏烤、油炸食品吃得太多可能会导致一些疾病。设空处需用副词形式，probable的副词形式为probably。
5．Compared 句意：与西方人相比，在过去中国人常常吃更多的谷物及蔬菜，但较少吃肉，这是一个好的饮食习惯。本句考查非谓语动词作状语。compared with为独立成分，意为：与……相比。
6．less 根据本句中的more grain可知本空需用比较级，故答案为less。
7．growth “随着我国经济的迅速发展……”。设空处前为形容词，设空处后为介词，故可判断设空处需用grow的名词形式，故答案为growth。
8．are running 根据上句(我们现在吃的很多食物中，糖和脂肪的含量太高)，可判断本句要表达的意思是：目前我们在不考虑均衡饮食的情况下冒险去外面吃饭。由此可见设空处需用现在进行时。
9．in 本题考查动词短语。keep sth. in mind意为：牢记；其中sth.由that 引导的从句充当。
10．us give sb. sth.“给某人某物”。本空需作give的宾语，故用宾格。
Ⅳ.短文改错
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用()划掉。
修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；
2．只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
