1．Plants grow well with enough sunshine and water.However，put in unfortunate conditions，they have no choice but to die.But what if plants could relocate to better places？
   It was this question that Sun Tianqi，founder of a Chinese robotics firm Vincross，asked himself while watching a dead sunflower. "I thought if it could have taken a 30 - foot walk out of the shadow to where the other sunflowers were，it would have lived healthily，" he said.
   He decided then to build a robot that would let plants do just that.The researchers took one of his company's traditional HEXA robot models and built a "flowerpot，" which replaced HEXA's shell.
   HEXA is a six - legged robot that comes complete with all the necessary sensors.The impressive plant robot can chase （追逐） the sun，hide for shelter，and perform a funny dance to indicate it is thirsty.
   Tianqi concluded， "Plants are passive.No matter if they are being cut，bitten，burned or pulled from the earth，or when they lack sunshine，water，or are too hot or cold，hey will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.They have the fewest degrees of freedom among all the creature in nature.This is simply the setting that nature gives to plants.I hope that this project can bring some inspiration to the relationship between technology and bad natural settings."

（1）What does Tianqi say about the plants？

A．Some plants cannot survive in bad surroudings.

C．Plants have a life cycle like humans.
D．Plants are important to the environment.
（2）What inspired Tianqi to build a plant robot？

A．His environmental awareness.
B．His love for sunflowers.
C．A broken flowerpot.
D．A dead flower.
（3）What do we know about the plant robot？

A．It is solar - powered.
B．It carries plants to move.
C．It feeds nutrients to plants.
D．It offers growers useful tips.
（4）What's the main idea of the last paragraph？

A．His robot needs much improvement.
B．Technology can set human beings free.
C．His robot has many useful future applications.
D．Technology can remove natural disadvantages.

2．How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face？Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures？Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
   New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However，how these expressions are interpreted（解釋） might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions.It was widely believed that six basic emotions （happiness，sadness，fear，anger，surprise and disgust） were expressed and recognized across different cultures.However，the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion.This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish（辨別）.Fear and surprise，for example，both share wide open eyes.The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
   So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions，how do we communicate a much more complex（復雜的） kind of feeling？The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures.However，while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition，scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures，the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
   What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research？This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.

（1）What did the University of Glasgow find？

A．Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B．Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C．It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D．Some of the six facial expressions are similar.

A．Sadness，fear，anger and surprise.
B．Anger，sadness，fear and happiness.
C．Happiness，surprise，sadness and fear.
D．Disgust，happiness，anger and sadness.
（3）What can we learn according to Paragraph 3？

A．Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B．Facial expressions can't show complex feelings.
C．Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D．The way to express emotions changes with time.
（4）Which is the proper title for the passage？

A．What Does Your Face Say？
B．How Do We Communicate？
C．What Are the Six Basic Emotions？
D．Do We Have the Same Expressions？

3．Working or learning in a foreign country can be a difficult experience.The hardest part of working abroad isn't finding a place to stay or learning the language.It's learning to overcome the culture shock.
   These things are part of everyday life，and include many signs，gestures，facial expressions，and customs.When we enter a new culture，these cues （提示） are usually not present or so different that they're no longer understandable to us.
   "When a person enters a foreign culture，" wrote Oberg，"all or most of these familiar cues are eliminated.He or she is like a fish out of water.No matter how broad-minded he or she may be，lots of props（支柱） have been knocked out from the environment."
   This is what happened to Lara，a young IT consultant （顧問） from America who moved last year to their company in southern Europe.Three weeks after she arrived in Europe，Lara sent a desperate e-mail begging to return home. "The people are so unfriendly，" Lara wrote."They eat at strange hours and I'm starting to get allergic （過敏的） to the local food.I can't get anything done because their way of doing business is so disorganized and so inefficient and I have a terrible skin itch because of the water.I want to come home!"
   What Lara and other IT consultants meet on their first assignment abroad is a culture shock.While you can't prevent the culture shock from happening，you can take some measures to cut down its effects.

（1）What is the most difficult part for a foreign student？

A．Entering a famous school.
B．Finding a right place to live.
C．Adapting to the local culture.
D．Learning the foreign language.
（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "eliminated" in Paragraph 3？

A．Solved.
B．Measured.
C．Observed.
D．Removed.
（3）What happened to Lara when she arrived in Europe？

A．Her life got into a mess.
B．She worked more efficient than at home.
C．She couldn't get on well with her colleagues.
D．She was out of condition because of the weather.
（4）Why does the author describe Lara's experience？

A．To tell us how she manages to work well.
B．To explain to us what the culture shock is.
C．To show us how to adapt to the culture shock.
D．To show us where we'll meet with the culture shock.
