D. A photography volunteer needs experience in taking photos for posters and websites.BHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years，but Dr Jean-Loup Rault，an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia，believes new companions are coming：robot pets.
"Technology is moving very fast，"Rault told ABC News， "The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet，and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot."
This may not sit well with pet lovers.After all，who would choose a plastic toy instead of a lovely puppy？But Rault argues that many people are going for it： "You don't have to feed it，you don't have to walk it，it won't make a mess in your house，and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty." The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets，short on space，or fearful of real animals.
It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones.But studies do suggest that we can develop deep bond with these smart machines.People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories.It's the same with robots.When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014，owners in Japan held funerals.
As an animal welfare researcher，Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. "If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn't need food，water or exercises，perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings，" he said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past，as Rault predicts？For those who grew up with living and breathing pets，the mechanical kind might not do.But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology，a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.4.  What does the underlined phrase "sit well with" means？ ______ A. be refused by B. be beneficial to
C. make a difference to D. receive support from5.  Which of the following is NOT the advantage of robot pets？ ______ A. Owners don't have to feed or walk them.
B. They won't make a mess in your house.
C. They can help cure allergies.
D. Owners can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.6.  Why did owners of robot dog Aibo hold funerals for their dogs？ ______ A. Because Sony stopped its repair service for Aibo in 2014.
B. Because they had developed deep bond with their robot dog.
C. Because they would no longer have robotic pets in the future.
D. Because their attitudes towards live animals were affected.7.  The passage mainly tells us ______ .A. the advantages of robot toys B. the popularity of robot pets
C. living pets are dying out D. robot pets are comingCSomething in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines,say UK researchers.
Their study found that theobromine,found in cocoa,was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine,which was considered the best cough medicine at present.
The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. - While coughing is not necessarily harmful.it can have a major effect on the quality of life.and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem. "said Professor Peter Barnes.
Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine,codeine or placebo,a pill that contains no medicine.during the experiment.Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill.The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin.which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicines are slopping coughs.
The team found that .when the volunteers were given theobromine,the capsaicin needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group.When they were given codeine.they needed only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.
The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity （神经活动），which causes coughing.They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments,theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.8.  According to Professor Barnes,theobromine ______ .A. cannot be as effective as codeine
B. can be harmful to people's health
C. cannot be separated from chocolate
D. can be a more effective cure for coughs9.  What was used in the experiment to cause coughing？ ______ A. Theobromine. B. Codeine. C. Capsaicin. D. Placebo.10.  We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment ______ .A. were patients with bad coughs B. were divided into three groups
C. received standard treatments D. suffered little side effects11.  Which of the following would be the best title for the text？ ______ A. Chocolate May Cure Coughs. B. Codeine：A New Medicine.
C. Cough Treatment：A Hard Case. D. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs.D    Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, rats are Angels. Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends.
    What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
    How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
    Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linter at Cornell University New York says. "Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that." Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!
    The "rat project" is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says. "It would be wonderful. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe." Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).12.  In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man's best friends because they can ______.A. take the place of man's rescue jobs
B. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D. get into small spaces13.  The rescuers can judge a person is alive by ______.A. the noise made by the rat
B. the rat's unusual behavior
C. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back
D. the smell given off by the person14.  In doing rescue jobs, ______.A. rats smell better than dogs
B. dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C. rats can see in the dark and smaller than all the robots
D. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around15.  Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ______.A. they are more wonderful than other animals
B. they are less expensive to train than dogs
C. they don't need electricity
D. they are small and can get into small places 二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen，you're going through big changes physically and mentally.Your interests are increasing.（1） ______ Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided.But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships，you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

I have met many teachers since I begin my schooling. Mrs. Green is one of the teacher who have impressed me most. Though in his fifties， Mrs. Green still looks young. Comparing with other teachers， she pays more attention to her way of teaching. She tries various ways to make her class lively and interestingly. In her opinion， we will not only know "what" also understand "why". So instead of giving us answers immediately， she encourages us to think carefully every time when she puts forward questions.

She is so a learned and thoughtful teacher that we all admire her very much.六、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）43.  你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国文学很感兴趣，并请你向他推荐一部优秀的中国文学作品.请你给他回信，内容包括：

详解：
1．begin改为began．考查动词时态．句意为：自从我开始上学以来，我遇到了许多老师．此处讲述的是过去的事情，要用一般过去时态．故begin改为began．
2． teacher改为teachers．考查名词的数．句意为：格林太太是给我印象最深的老师之一．前面有one of，所以用复数名词，故teacher改为teachers．
3． his改为her．考查人称代词．句意为：虽然她五十多岁了，但她看起来仍然年轻．指格林太太，所以用her放在名词前面，故his改为her．
4． Comparing改为Compared．考查过去分词．句意为：与其他老师相比，她更注重自己的教学方式．Mrs．Green与compare之间是动宾关系，用过去分词作状语．故Comparing改为Compared．
5． interestingly改为interesting．考查形容词．句意为：她尝试各种方法使她的课堂生动有趣．和lively并列作宾补，所以用形容词，故interestingly改为interesting．
6． also前面加but．考查连词．句意为：在她看来，我们不仅要知道"什么"，还要明白"为什么"．not only…but also不但…而且，为固定搭配，故also前面加but．

8． Under改为With．考查介词．句意为：在她的帮助下，我们学会了如何自己分析和解决问题．"在某人的帮助下"，用with one's help，故Under改为With．
9． the改为an．考查冠词．句意为：她带领我们进入了一个多么神奇的"为什么"世界！world是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指，因amazing是以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an．故the改为an．
10． so改为such．考查词义辨析．句意为：她是一位博学又体贴的老师，我们都很钦佩她．so后跟形容词，副词，such后跟名词，so+形容词+不定冠词+单数名词=such+不定冠词+形容词+单数名词，故so改为such．43.【答案】I am more than excited because I am fairly a literature lover myself．
