The novelist’s medium is the written word. One might almost say the  1  word. Typically the novel is  2  by a silent individual reader, who may be anywhere at the time. The paperback novel is still the cheapest, most portable and adaptable form of  3 entertainment. It is limited to a single channel of information—  4 . The narrative can go,  5 , anywhere: into space, people’s heads, palaces and pyramids without any consideration of cost or practical possibility.

V
In determining the shape and content of his narrative, the writer is restricted by nothing except purely artistic criteria (标准).The novelist keeps absolute control over his text until it is published and received by the audience. He may be advised by his editor to revise his  6 , but if the writer  7  to meet this condition, no one would be  8 . It is not unknown for a famous novelist to deliver his or her manuscript and expect the publisher to print it  9  as written.
However, not even the most famous playwright would submit a script (剧本) and expect it to be  10  without any rewriting. This is because plays and motion pictures are cooperative forms of narrative, using more than one channel of communication.
I

IV
V
The production of a stage play involves not only the  11  of the author, but also the physical presence of the actors, their voices and gestures, the “set” and possibly music. Although the script is the essential part of both play and film, it is a  12  for following revision negotiated between the writer and other creative people involved. They’re given “approval” of the choice of a director and actors and have the right to attend rehearsals (排练), during which period they may undertake more rewriting work. In the case of screenplay, the writer may have little or no control over the final form of his work. So in this respect contracts for the production of plays protect the rights of  13 .

III
IV
V
In film or television work, on the other hand, the screenplay has no contractual rights to this degree of consultation. While the script is going through its various drafts, the writer is in the driver’s seat, although sometimes receiving criticism from the producer and the director. But once the production is under way, artistic control over the project tends to pass to the  14 . This is a fact overlooked by most journalistic critics of television drama, who tend to give all the  15  or blame for success or failure of a production to the writer and actors, ignoring the contribution, for good and ill, of the director.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it. “What is the use of the book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”

So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy chain (雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat pocket, or a watch to take out of it. Burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit hole under the bush.

The rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth.

Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! Thump!
Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

Fiction books tend to be much more popular than self-improvement books. Fiction books are designed and written in such a way as inspires you to continue reading them. On the other hand, non-fiction books in the self-improvement field are intended to help you settle a problem or reach a specific goal. In most cases, these types of books aren’t written in the form of stories.  1  Self-improvement books can open up all kinds of future chances for you. You’ll learn new things, be inspired, and develop a deep love for practical knowledge and wisdom.  2  You’ll be able to use the ideas and advice that you learn in your daily life. And once you do this, you’ll be likely to get positive results.

 3  The secret is to understand your present situation and to have a clear vision of what you hope to achieve in the future. The ideal self-improvement book will be one that fits your present needs.  4  In this way, you can identify all the problems you’re facing. Once you’ve recognised a problem, try to figure out the cause behind it. Then keep the problem and the cause in mind when you come to choose a book.
A keyword search of an online bookseller’s listing will usually throw up dozens or even hundreds of results.  5  For example, you can read the foreword, look at comments and consider whether the book can give you the answers you need. The whole process may take you some time but it’ll be worth it.

When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.
Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way. We can find robots everywhere. They can build cars, play chess and clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too. Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.

Jeff Clune, a computer scientist at the University of Wyoming, says robots also help people in natural disasters. Robots are applied in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the ruins of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.
I
II
III
IV
Mr Clune says, “Robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe. The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.” He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.
I
II
III
IV
Mr Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.
The robots are also programmed with childlike curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.

Unit 1
(Writing & Assessing Your Progress)
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
Kanda really doesn’t like to walk alone. The scientist from a research institute of intelligent robots finds the experience so boring that he’d rather drive—even though he lives close to his lab and knows that walking is healthy. “I enjoy walking with someone, like with my wife, with my daughter,” Kanda said. “But they are not always available.”
I
II
So Kanda, who specialises in human-like robots, developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The robot rests on a person’s shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high, 3.5 inches wide, and 10 inches long. A microphone, a speaker, and an internal camera allow it to communicate. It’s even equipped with a smile.
I
II
Kanda and his team collected video from five different locations, including a garden and a shopping mall, and created a data set of small talk topics related to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice. Near a group of parked cars, for example, it might say, “In a big parking lot sometimes I forget where I parked.”
I
II
They tested the robot on 15 volunteers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about 26 years old. “Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion (蒲公英) seeds into the air?” The robot asked a participant who smiled and responded, “Yes, I often did that when I was a child.” Although several participants noted the robot’s weight, Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience strange or funny. “I guess people enjoy new technologies,” he said.
I
II
Just like a human partner, Kanda’s robot isn’t perfect. It’s not able to go for walks in heavy rain and, while the robot can make expressions, it can’t really hold a conversation, about which Kanda is most worried. Despite its limits, Kanda was comforted by the robot’s presence. “I felt a kind of sense of being with someone,” he said, “particularly when it spoke.”
I
II
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了科学家Kanda因不喜 欢自己一个人走路,需要有人陪伴而产生灵感,发明了可以陪人走路 的机器人。这个机器人还可以根据不同的场合说出不同的句子,让人 有种被陪伴的感觉。
I

A. It can “speak” and “see”.
B. It can walk just like a human being.
C. It can communicate with people freely.
D. It is much more humorous than a real person.
A
I
II
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A microphone, a speaker, and an internal camera allow it to communicate.”以及第三段“A special speech software provided the robot with a voice.”可知,这个机 器人可以“说话”,也可以“看”。
A. A small size.
B. A boxy shape.
C. A human partner.
D. A speech software.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“‘I felt a kind of sense of being with someone,’ he said, ‘particularly when it spoke.’” 可 知,当机器人说话的时候最能让人有陪伴感,所以它的声音系统是必不 可少的。
D
I
II
A. To make it more convenient to carry.
B. To improve its conversational skills.
C. To enable it to walk in heavy rain.
D. To better its sound system.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “while the robot can make expressions, it can’t really hold a conversation, about which Kanda is most worried”可知,不能进行对话是Kanda最担心的事情,所以他接 下来会改进这一方面。

Indian-origin Anvitha Vijay has given a new meaning to the phrase “age is just a number”; she has proved that achievements and knowledge follow passion and not just age and experience.
Vijay, who lives with her parents in Melbourne, Australia, at the age of seven realised that her piggy bank did not have enough money to hire a developer to make her an app, so she decided to teach herself how to code. With the help of the videos on the Internet, the young techie learnt to code. For one entire year, she watched multiple coding tutorials on the web and became a programmer herself.
I
II
Vijay’s inspiration for developing the apps was her little sister, who was still learning to talk. Therefore, Vijay developed an educational app for children that were her sister’s age. The app uses about 100 sounds and flash cards of different animals that help children learn and identify. Later, Vijay developed a similar app for children to identify and learn colours.
I
II
Anvitha’s skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference in San Francisco, California. There, she got tips from the pros. She went to workshops where she learnt about the latest software for app building.
All that training led to an idea for a third app. This one called Goals Hi, which inspires kids to practise good habits. Users are rewarded for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practising piano. Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker for a job well done.
I
II
Anvitha’s goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun. But what’s even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’ hands. “The more training we get in tech at an early age,” she says, “the better chance we have of becoming creativity champions who will one day change the world.”
I
II
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位印度裔的女孩Anvitha Vijay自学编程的故事。Vijay在很小的时候就开发了一款帮助妹妹学习 的应用程序,她还开发了另外两种应用程序。她继续创造技术的目的 是证明儿童推动技术进步的能力。

A. Her parents instructed her.
B. A young techie tutored her.
C. She hired a developer to teach her.
D. She taught herself by watching videos.

【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中内容可知,Vijay七岁时,她意识到自己的存钱罐里没有足够的钱雇一个开发人员为她开发应用程序,所以她决定自学编程。在网络视频的帮助下,这位年轻的技术人员学会了编程。由此可知,Anvitha是通过观看视频自学开发出她的第一个应用程序的。
A. Her strong desire to help her little sister to learn to talk.
B. The reward that she got after developing the former apps.
C. The latest technology that she learnt on coding apps.
D. The training that she got when helping kids practise good habits.
C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,Anvitha的技能为她赢得 了加州旧金山举办的大型科技会议的奖学金。在那里,她从专业人士那 得到了建议,参加了研讨会,了解了最新的应用程序开发软件。根据第 五段中 “All that training led to an idea for a third app.”可知, Anvitha学到的关于编写应用程序的最新技术,激发了她编写她的第三 个应用程序的兴趣。
I

A. To help kids learn while having fun.
B. To enable kids to get training at an early age.
C. To prove children’s ability of advancing technology.
D. To help little children like her sister learn and identify.

【妙笔成篇】
Good morning, everyone. I’m glad to share my view on “the new city in the future”.
With the rising sea levels caused by global warming and the exploding population, our land is becoming more and more crowded. Therefore, I’ve come up with the idea of constructing floating cities on the sea to solve the problems.
I
II

 Located on man-made islands, the floating city will be almost entirely covered in the vegetation. A huge tower at the city centre will act both as workplace and housing for its citizens. What’s more, not only will the city use solar, wind, and wave power to keep it functioning but also use its large gardens to supply food. 
I believe it will come true with the development of science and technology.
Thank you!
