For one year, the Dannemiller family gave up buying any unnecessary purchases.

Overall, the family successfully 39 the plan.Though the experiment took place in 2013, the family 40 tries to live by the lessons they learned while cutting

“My daughters birthday is next month, and she asked if we could go to visit her uncles farm and ride a horse, 44 just asking for a horse stuffed animal,” he says.“Now we look at 45 and say ‘will that really add value to our life, 46 is it something we will just need to find space for and take care of.’”

Getting more followers is something we usually associate with social media or micro messaging apps.But soon we could all have a new type of follower—a robotic one.
Dozens of robots and technology fans gathered in Boston, US, earlier this month for the Robot Business conference.The latest developments in the world of robotics were shown to the public, and this time the trend was robots following people.
Perhaps the most exciting development on show was the ability of drones (无人机) to follow you from the air, acting as your own personal cameraman or photographer.One example is 3-D Robotics Iris+ drone, developed by a US-based company.
The drone is fitted with cameras and has a “follow me” function.It connects with your GPS-enabled Android device, like a mobile phone.Then it flies and follows you around, shooting action film of you from above.The software in the drone makes sure that youre always in the center of the frame.
It can keep working for 15 minutes, as long as there arent too many trees for it to crash into.This could be exciting for anyone who loves action sports or wants to be the star of their own short film.
But what if you want to be one of those celebrities (名人) who have helpers carrying all their bags and doing all their chores? A robot called Budgee can help.
Budgee, made by 5 Elements Robotics, is literally a basket on wheels.It is designed to help elderly and disabled people, or simply anyone who doesnt have enough arms for grocery bags, Wired magazine reported.It can carry up to 22.7 kg of items.
To make Budgee follow them, its owner will have to wear a small device and use an app to set the distance between themselves and the robot.Budgee even sends a text message when it cant keep up with its owner.
“I want you to look at the robot like hes your buddy, hes your friend.Theres a relationship you develop with the robot,” Wendy Roberts, CEO of 5 Elements Robotics, told gigaom.com.
It might not be quite the same as robotic assistants weve seen in movies such as Disneys Wall-E, where robots cater for our every need, but that idea doesnt seem quite so far-fetched now.
59.The drone developed by a US-based company can .
A.fly around you and take videos from above
B.decide who to put in the center of the frame
C.be used to take pictures and make phone calls
D.keep working for 15 minutes in any conditions
60.According to the article, Budgee is most likely to be targeted at .
A.staff in supermarkets
B.elderly and disabled people
C.those who love action sports
D.celebrities who need a close buddy
61.The main purpose of the article is to .
A.tell the reader about two new types of robots
B.urge people to buy the drone and Budgee
C.call on people to develop relationships with robots
D.analyze why the two types of robots can lead a trend

ARNOLD Schwarzenegger is back, once again taking on his iconic killer robot role, the T-800, in Augusts new movie Terminator Genisys.While the T-800 model—even if it can be evil—has a fond place in moviegoers hearts, the reality of autonomous machines is no joke, according to scientists.
Autonomous weapons use artificial intelligence (AI) to choose targets without human help.They were described as “the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms” in an open letter signed by over 1,000 important technology figures in July.The list included British scientist Stephen Hawking and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.They asked governments around the world to ban autonomous weapons, warning that killer robots could start ethnic cleansings and an arms race.
“They will look like tanks.They will look like battleships.They will look like jet fighters,” UK robotics professor Noel Sharkey told CNET, a leading technology website.
But unlike these machines, which require a human hand in their action, so-called “killer robots” would have some decision-making abilities and the ability to act on their own.
“If any major military power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is almost inevitable,” said the letter released at the 2015 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The idea of an automated killing machine was made famous by Schwarzeneggers first Terminator movie in 1984.While no red-eyed robots have been sent after human beings, the idea of AI being used as a weapon has gotten much more likely in the years ever since.The US military is already developing autonomous flying vehicles that can carry out all the steps of a strike mission without a human controlling them, according to a May report in Nature magazine.
Scientists have even painted a destructive picture of autonomous weapons falling into the hands of terrorists or warlords hoping to carry out ethnic cleansings.
“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” Hawking said to the BBC in 2016.
Authorities are gradually waking up to the risk of robot wars.Last May, for the first time, the United Nations brought governments together to begin talks on autonomous weapons systems.
Still, a ban on autonomous weapons is “easier said than done”, commented The Guardian.The dual (双重的) uses of the AI technology—for harm and for good—is difficult to manage.This is because the exact same technology can be used in a wide range of ways, the paper said.
62.What is the authors main purpose in writing the text?
A.To analyze why the T-800 model appeals to moviegoers.
B.To promote Schwarzeneggers new movie Terminator Genisys.
C.To explore the development and impact of autonomous machines.
D.To show that the technology shown in science fiction can become a reality.
63.What is the unique characteristic of autonomous weapons?
A.They are able to select targets very quickly and accurately.
B.They are driven by artificial intelligence instead of humans.
C.They are killing machines more powerful than tanks and battleships.
D.They are red-eyed robots able to carry out all kinds of strike missions.
64.The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A.to be expected B.to be improved
C.to be prevented D.to be controlled
65.What is scientistsattitude toward autonomous weapons?
A.They could be used to fight against terrorists in the future.
B.Their decision-making abilities should be further developed.
C.They could bring a huge disaster to the human race if they are not banned.
D.They should replace gunpowder and nuclear arms in future wars.

It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light.In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference.The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him.
“Last week he tried to commit suicide,” one waiter said. “Why?” “He was in despair.” “What about?” “Nothing.” “How do you know it was nothing?” “He has plenty of money.”
They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe and looked at the terrace where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind.A girl and a soldier went by in the street.The street light shone on the brass number on his collar.The girl wore no head covering and hurried beside him.
“The guard will pick him up,” one waiter said.“What does it matter if he gets what hes after?” “He had better get off the street now.The guard will get him.They went by five minutes ago.”
The old man sitting in the shadow rapped on his saucer with his glass.The younger waiter went over to him.
“What do you want?” The old man looked at him.“Another brandy,” he said.
“Youll be drunk,” the waiter said.The old man looked at him.The waiter went away.
“Hell stay all night,” he said to his colleague.“Im sleepy now.I never get into bed before three oclock.He should have killed himself last week.”
The waiter took the brandy bottle and another saucer from the counter inside the cafe and marched out to the old mans table.He put down the saucer and poured the glass full of brandy.
“You should have killed yourself last week,” he said to the deaf man.The old man motioned with his finger.“A little more,” he said.The waiter poured on into the glass so that the brandy slopped over and ran down the stem into the top saucer of the pile.“Thank you,” the old man said.The waiter took the bottle back inside the cafe.He sat down at the table with his colleague again.
“Hes drunk now,” he said.“Hes drunk every night.” “What did he want to kill himself for?” “How should I know.” “How did he do it?” “He hung himself with a rope.” “Who cut him down?” “His niece.” “Why did they do it?” “Fear for his soul.” “How much money has he got?” “Hes got plenty.” “He must be eighty years old.” “Anyway I should say he was eighty.” “I wish he would go home.I never get to bed before three oclock.What kind of hour is that to go to bed?” “He stays up because he likes it.” “Hes lonely.Im not lonely.I have a wife waiting in bed for me.” “He had a wife once too.” “A wife would be no good to him now.” “You cant tell.He might be better with a wife.” “His niece looks after him.You said she cut him down.” “I know.” “I wouldnt want to be that old.An old man is a nasty thing.” “Not always.This old man is clean.He drinks without spilling.Even now, drunk.Look at him.” “I dont want to look at him.I wish he would go home.He has no regard for those who must work.”
The old man looked from his glass across the square, then over at the waiters.
“Another brandy,” he said, pointing to his glass.The waiter who was in a hurry came over.
“Finished,” he said, speaking with that omission of syntax stupid people employ when talking to drunken people or foreigners.“No more tonight.Close now.”
“Another,” said the old man.
“No.Finished.” The waiter wiped the edge of the table with a towel and shook his head.
The old man stood up, slowly counted the saucers, took a leather coin purse from his pocket and paid for the drinks, leaving half a peseta tip.The waiter watched him go down the street, a very old man walking unsteadily but with dignity.
“Why didnt you let him stay and drink?” the unhurried waiter asked.They were putting up the shutters.“It is not half past two.” “I want to go home to bed.” “What is an hour?” “More to me than to him.” “An hour is the same.” “You talk like an old man yourself.He can buy a bottle and drink at home.” “Its not the same.” “No, it is not,” agreed the waiter with a wife.He did not wish to be unjust.He was only in a hurry.“And you? You have no fear of going home before your usual hour?” “Are you trying to insult me?” “No, hombre, only to make a joke.”
“No,” the waiter who was in a hurry said, rising from pulling down the metal shutters.“I have confidence.I am all confidence.” “You have youth, confidence, and a job,” the older waiter said.“You have everything.” “And what do you lack?” “Everything but work.” “You have everything I have.” “No.I have never had confidence and I am not young.” “Come on.Stop talking nonsense and lock up.” “I am of those who like to stay late at the cafe,” the older waiter said.“With all those who do not want to go to bed.With all those who need a light for the night.” “I want to go home and into bed.” “We are of two different kinds,” the older waiter
said.He was now dressed to go home.“It is not only a question of youth and confidence although those things are very beautiful.Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may be someone who needs the cafe.” “Hombre, there are bodegas open all night long.” “You do not understand.This is a clean and pleasant cafe.It is well lighted.The light is very good and also, now, there are shadows of the leaves.”
“Good night,” said the younger waiter.
“Good night,” the other said.Turning off the electric light he continued the conversation with himself. It was the light of course but it is necessary that the place be clean and pleasant.You do not want music.Certainly you do not want music.Nor can you stand before a bar with dignity although that is all that is provided for these hours.What did he fear? It was not a fear or dread. It was a nothing that he knew too well.It was all a nothing and a man was a nothing too.It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order.Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada.
He smiled and stood before a bar with a shining steam pressure coffee machine.
“Whats yours?” asked the barman.
“Nada.” “Otro loco mas,” said the barman and turned away.
“A little cup,” said the waiter.
The barman poured it for him.
“The light is very bright and pleasant but the bar is unpolished,” the waiter said.
The barman looked at him but did not answer.It was too late at night for conversation.
“You want another copita?” the barman asked.
“No, thank you,” said the waiter and went out.He disliked bars and bodegas.A clean, well-lighted cafe was a very different thing.Now, without thinking further, he would go home to his room.He would lie in the bed and finally, with daylight, he would go to sleep.After all, he said to himself, its probably only insomnia.Many must have it.
66.The young waiter wants to go home to bed mainly because of .
A.his full confidence B.leaving of the old man
C.his being needed by his family D.his worry about the night-walk.
67.What was the most probable cause for the old mans suicide?
A.He failed in his business. B.He drank too much that night.
C.He feared for his soul. D.He felt it was all a nothing.

A.The elder waiter thought that a man is supposed to be live with dignity.
B.The young waiter was impatient with the old man and wanted him to go.
C.The young waiter expected the old man to go home steadily with satisfaction.
D.The elder waiter refused a clean, well-lighted place to bars and bodegas.
69.Why was the old waiter unwilling to leave the café and go home?

B.Because he wanted to have a detailed conversation with the young waiter.

第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
Aside from the health benefits of laughter (which are numerous and significant), having a sense of humor about lifes difficulties can provide a way to bond with others, look at things in a different way, normalize your experience, and keep things from appearing too overwhelming or scary.Properly developed, a good sense of humor can keep people and relationships strong.
Studies show that having a smile on your face can make you feel better, and can lead you to actually feeling happier (rather than just looking happier).Even if the smile is fake, the benefits you will experience are real! Also, a fake smile leads readily to a genuine one.If you are able to put a smile on your face, the laughter will come more easily, and the stress will melt more easily.
If your situation seems ridiculously frustrating, recognize what can develop into humor in just how ridiculously frustrating and annoying it is.In your imagination, take the situation to an extreme that becomes even more ridiculous until you find yourself amused.For example, when youre waiting in a long line at the store, you can imagine that hours pass, then days, visualizing yourself accepting visits from loved ones from your new home in this ultra-long line, holding your childrens birthday parties in aisle seven so you can be there to enjoy them...you get the picture.
Besides, find a friend with whom you can laugh also works! You can each share your frustrations, and laugh about them in the process.Even when your friend isnt there, you can feel less stressed by thinking about the retelling that will come later.
You can have a “most annoying boss” game with your friends, or try to count how many times the same potentially frustrating event happens in a day.(“I was cut off in traffic 7 times today—Im almost up to 10!”) This works well for predictable or repetitive annoying situations that you cant control; you can begin to value them in their own special way instead of letting them upset you.
One of the factors that drive the popularity of shows like Modern Family or movies like the classic Ferris Buellers Day Off, is that they take somewhat universal situations that many people find frustrating and push them a little further, pointing out the silliness of it all.
Whats more, you can try joining Funny Clubs.Years ago, when Oprah had a show rather than a network, she did a part on Laughter Yoga that interested me, and I researched a club on my own, finding it to be a terrific place to enjoy a good laugh.Whether you mean business or laugh at the silliness of it all, taking part in the exercises of laughter yoga with other humor-participants can be a very effective way to get back in the practice of getting some more laughter into your day.

81.请认真阅读下面短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
There are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence.The first is sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others.But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of the environment in which he is brought up.If an individual is handicapped (受阻碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will stop to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be proved by the identical twins, Peter and John.When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster (寄养) homes.Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.John, however, was educated in the home well-to-do parents who had been to college.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Johns IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his brother.

M:Lily, where do you like to eat?

M:Well, its just a very simple restaurant.There are only about six tables in there.A couple of waitresses wear ugly pink uniforms.But the food is great, very tasty, and cheap too, which is important, of course.There are some truck drivers sitting at the counter drinking coffee and eating sausages every morning.I always have pancakes in the morning and their fish pie for lunch.That restaurant has been open for many years.They say the actor James Dean eats there sometimes, but I dont think thats true.

书面表达
One possible version:
The writer argues in support of the importance of environment in terms of the development of a persons intelligence by giving an example of two twin brothers, who were brought up in different environments.
Personally, I believe environment is crucial to an individual intelligence, as a good environment can offer more opportunities to increase his knowledge and broaden the horizons as well as the chances to practise.
There was such a famous example in Chinese history.Zhongyong, born with a high IQ, distinguished himself by reciting and even writing poems as a child, which astonished others.Unfortunately, his father didnt offer him a good environment to foster him but instead, he often took him everywhere to show off his intelligence.Gradually, Zhongyong became an ordinary person.
Thus, I think we, including our parents, our teacher, even the whole society, should try to create a good environment for the children to fully develop their intelligence, and for the children, they should also learn to exploit everything available to develop themselves.
