Away from parents,above the crowd,enjoying total freedom—having a tree house can be every little kid’s dream.Workshops aimed at teaching people how to build tree houses have become widely popular in America in recent years.
Three-year-old Mica and her little sister got a tree house this year.This $ 28,000 tree house is a gift from their parents.Roughly three meters above ground,the platform was built into two large trees.“The fancy hide-out has a climbing wall and I wanted them to go in to make it feel more like a secret hideout,”said Mica’s mother Kristin Keenan.
This amazing tree house was created by Dan Wright.He’s the founder of Tree Top Builders Inc.and has built more than 400 tree houses since he started the company in 2003.“A sense of freedom and independence…that’s I think why Americans particularly like tree houses.Because it gets you up off the ground and,for kids,their parents can’t reach them anymore.They are up looking down,getting a new perspective on life,”said Wright.
According to Wright,installing the special tree bolt(螺栓),which requires both strength and accuracy,is the most important part of the work.“As the tree grows,sometimes you need to move parts of the structure or cut parts of it away to give the tree room to grow each year.It gets ticker,”said Wright.The base is then lifted on top of the tree bolts.It will soon become the foundation of a great tree house,so kids or adults can enjoy playing in the treetops.
21.What can we learn about Mica’s parents?
A.They are good at building tree houses.
B.They love playing hide-and-seek games.
C.They have a son and a daughter.
D.They seem to be quite well off.
22.According to Wright,why do Americans like tree houses?

D.They’re environmentally friendly.
23.What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The difficulty of building tree houses.
B.The process of building tree houses.
C.The fun of building tree houses.
D.The popularity of building tree houses.

Although most hitchhikers(搭便车的人)are people,passers—by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers.But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot? Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside?
That is the answer Canadian professors,David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller,who study the relationship between humans and technology,are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot.
HitchBOT is built with cheap household items.Thanks to a PC tablet,GPS tracker and camera,hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public,but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks.The smart robot is even able to quote(引用)interesting facts about the areas it has passed through.
Not surprisingly,many people are doubtful about hitchBOT’s ability.Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone.Actually,they are all wrong.The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax,Nova Scotia,to Victoria,British Columbia,a distance of 3,700 miles.It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple.It not only reached its destination on August 21st,but also had some amazing adventures along the way.It visited national parks,went fishing,went camping,and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride’s speech.
In addition to helping it get to its destination,its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety-from coveting the robot with a plastic cape(披肩)to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil.
24.Why is the hitchhiking robot built?
A.To help passers-by reach their destinations.
B.To find out how people might react to it.
C.To see if it will give tides to strangers.
D.To entertain drivers on their way.
25.The hitchBOT can do all of the following except_________.
A.talking with the driver B.dancing with people
C.sending its thoughts and pictures D.answering any question raised
26.How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination?
A.Nearly a month. B.Over one month. C.Two months.D.One week.
27.What can we learn about the hitchBOT?
A.It was ignored by an elderly couple.
B.It didn’t meet with any danger along the way.
C.It experienced a long and amazing journey.
D.It will be put into the market quickly.

In today’s fiercely competitive business environment,companies need to communicate information concerning a whole range of issues in a clear and precise manner to their customers . This is particularly so in the case of companies which do business in areas such as manufacturing,information technology(IT),engineering products and services—companies whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its technical
aspects.
These communication materials are prepared in a company these days by“technical writers”—people who can effectively communicate to an Intended audience.
Technical writing and writing text-books are poles apart.The former is aimed at those who do not have an in-depth knowledge about a product and therefore should be direct and easy to Understand.Too many technical terms would only add to the confusion of the customer.Technical writers first need to understand the technical information themselves,before trying to communicate it in easier 1anguage to the customers.Even graduates of English literature are often found wanting when it comes to creative and effective writing.
This simply means that those with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature along with a diploma/degree in Journalism and having a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA)are ideal(理想的)candidates for being employed as technical writers.
A career in technical writing is seen as a good choice for women mainly because it is widely held that women are more gifted in creative writing than men and the job does not involve too much travelling or working at night.
32.What are“technical writers”supposed to do?
A.To write about the company’s products or services in clear,easy language.
B.To write about the company’s products using correct technical terms.
B.To effectively communicate to an intended audience by writing letters.
D.To travel around to persuade people to buy the company’s products or services.
33.Which of the following best explains the underlined word“wanting”in Paragraph 3?
A.Being needed. B.Wanting to write.
C.Hoping to be employed. D.Lacking in ability.
34.What would happen if many technical terms are used in technical writing?
A.It would sound too formal. B.It would help engineers a lot.
C.It would confuse the customer. D.It would produce a better effect.
35.Who would be the best candidate for a technical writer?
A.A man with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.
B.A female with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.
C.A male graduate of English literature with a diploma in Journalism.
D.A woman with a degree in English literature along with a diploma in Journalism.
第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good,it is strange that so few people write them any more.At work,a thank-you letter to employees is
unbelievably effective.It costs little and has no side effects.The effort involved in writing letters very low.The pleasure on receiving them is very high. 36
Doug Conant,manager of Campbell’s Soup Company since 2001,knows the power of thank you letters.He said that every day he works with an assistant,combing the company for people deserving thanks. 37 Over the past 10 years he has sent 30,000 thank-you letters to his employees—more than 10 each day.The reward is huge:his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years.
38 There seem to be three reasons.Firstly,chief executives(主管)running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. 39 Secondly,they area’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks.Thirdly,they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation.
In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead,sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding.You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you.40
A.You may ask what side effects exactly mean.
B.He then writes them a thank-you letter.
C.This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
D.Why are thank-you letters so important?
E.Always remember to“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!”
F.But if these letters ale so uplifting,why don’t more managers write them?
G.Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves.
