interest in being a surgeond. specializes in psychology bheres a movie-a sharp, sugar-rush of fun thats guaranteed to entertain the entire family. with some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, robots is the best animated film(动画片) since the incredibles. yep, it really is that good. set in a world populated by robots, ewan mcgregor plays rodney copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor. but after arriving in robot city, his hopes of getting a job at bigweld industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil ratchet (greg kinnear). egged on by his controlling mum, madame gasket(jim broadbent), ratchet plans to reduce half on robot citys citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare pans they need to survive. instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. as he says, “why be you when you can be new?” aided by a few misfit robots known as the rustles-including robin williams as the cowardly(胆小的) fender (“im made of a metal called afraidium”)-rodney must track down the firms founder, bigweld(mel brooks), and convince him to save the city from ratchets plans. the first thing thatll strike you about the movie is the thought thats gone into creating robot city. its a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps. also terrific are the special effects. this might be animated movie but at times youll catch yourself thinking its really a live-action film. of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline(see shark tale, for example). but robots grips(扣人心弦)right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores. my only complaints are with williams who, as usual, has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. also a letdown is a romantic subplot between rodney and a shapely robot called cappy(halle berry)that doesnt go anywhere. complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel thatll have you bolted firmly to your seat. best quote(引述)：fender：“even though you had a discouraging day, just remember theres another one coming tomorrow. best bit：check out those amazing images. worst bit：robin williams character does an unfunny britney spears dance routine. if you likedice age, the incredibles, toy storyyoull like this. 39. this piece of writing is a _. a. commercial advertisement b. film review c. movie poster d. 1iterary essay40. the cast of robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses except _. a. ewan mcgregor b. robin williams c. britney spears d. halle berry41. what is shark tale an example of? a great cast. b. a poor plot. c. special effects. d. clumsy animation. cthe first time we started using it, we thought it would just be a bit of fun, a one-time thing. _a_“lets just give it a try,” my fiance said. i was a bit nervous, but i knew some of our friends were already into it, and they said it was fine and that i should relax because everyone was doing it.“ok,” i agreed, convinced it would be harmless._b_before long, we were using it once a week. then it became twice a week. we went from using it after work to using it in the mornings, and then at lunchtime, too.suddenly we reached a point where we were using it every day. even when i wasnt using it, i was thinking about using it. _c_thats when i realized the terrible truth. we couldnt stop.dear readers, it shames me to admit it, but i am an addict of online shopping site taobao.and i dont think im the only one. _d_ i see the telltale signs every where: people with bags under their eyes, clearly exhausted after staying up late browsing items they might one day need (but probably wont)，like the 1940s leather aviator cap i bought in the event i ever need to become an aviator in the 1940s. i see co-workers furtively (偷偷摸摸地）sneaking down to the mailroom, eyes darting around suspiciously.i know whats going through your mind as you read this.“this isnt me，” youre thinking, “i can stop anytime i want.”but can you?in china you can get same day delivery for just about anything you buy online. in australia, my home country, the same item would take weeks to arrive.“its the convenience, i said to my fiance. “thats why were hooked.”but is that convenience worth the risk of waking up one morning to discover youve been buried alive in masses of brand new womens shoes?in my case its probably not, especially because i suspect my fiance wont realize im missing until weeks later, when my credit card stops working and ive long since expired.so what can you do to battle this terrible addiction?never fear, dear readers, because ive created a special five-step list to help you stop online shopping.step one: acknowledge you have a problem. resist buying adult-sized, star wars stormtrooper outfit on taobao. you dont really need it.step two: try not to feel guilty about buying adult-sized, star wars stormtrooper outfit on taobao. step three: put the computer and smartphone away, get back to nature, and take a walk in the park. step four: try not to feel guilty about buying a new outfit for your walk in the park. i mean, it was on sale, right?step five: buying a book on how to quit taobao.from taobao. on second thoughts, maybe dont listen to me, after all.42. where should the sentence “i have never been so wrong in my entire life.” be put in the passage? a. in blank a. b. in blank b. c. in blank c. d. in blank d.43. the author writes the underlined paragraph to show _. a. taobao is a popular and successful online shopping site b. online shopping is an effective way to help relax c. people today are fond of the 1940s leather aviator cap d. quite a lot of people are hooked on online shopping44. the author concludes this passage with a tone of_. a. confidence and optimism b. disappointment and disapproval c. uncertainty and humor d. confusion and sympathydeven before there were people, there were cases of air pollution. there were dust storms. volcanoes erupted, sending ash and poisonous gases into the atmosphere. when people appeared on the scene and began their conquest of nature, they also began to pollute the air. they cleared land, which made possible even larger dust storms. they built cities, and the soot(煤烟) from their hearths filled the air. the roman author seneca wrote in ad 61 of the “stink, soot and heavy air” of the imperial city. in 1257, the queen of england was forced to move away from the city of nottingham because the heavy smoke was unbearable. the industrial revolution brought even worse air pollution. coal was burned to power factories and to heat homes. soot, smoke, and sulfur dioxide(二氧化硫) fill the air. the good old days? not in the factory towns. but there were large rural areas unaffected by air pollution. with increasing population, the entire world is becoming more urban. it is the huge cities that are most affected by air pollution. but rural areas are not unaffected. in the neighborhoods around smoky factories, there is evidence of increased rates of spontaneous abortion(自然流产) and of poor wool quality in sheep, decreased egg production and a high death rate in chickens.traffic police in tokyo have to wear gas masks and take “oxygen breaks”breathing occasionally from tanks of oxygen. smog in athens at times has forced factory closings and traffic restrictions. acid rain in canada is caused by air pollution in the united states, contributing to strained relationships between the two countries. sydney, rome, tehran, ankara, mexico city, and most other major cities in the world have had frightening experiences of air pollution. one of the two major types of smogconsisting of smoke, fog, sulfur dioxide, sulfuring acid (h2so4), ash and sootis called london smog. indeed, the word smog is thought to have originated in england in 1905 as a contraction of the words “smoke” and “fog”. probably the worst case of smog in history started in london on thursday, 4 december, 1952. a large cold air mass moved into the valley of the thames river. a temperature inversion placed a blanket of warm air over the cold air. with nightfall, a dense fog and below-freezing temperatures caused the people of london to put coal into their small stoves. millions of these fires burned throughout the night, pouring sulfur dioxide and smoke into the air. the next day, friday, the people continued to burn coal when the temperature remained below freezing. the factories added their smoke and chemical fumes to the atmosphere. saturday was a day of darkness. for twenty miles around london, no light came through the smog. the air was cold and still. and the coal fires continued to burn throughout the weekend. on monday, 8 december, more than one hundred people died of heart attacks while trying desperately to breathe. by the time a breeze cleared the air on tuesday, 9 december, more than 4,000 deaths had been caused by the smog. soot and ash can be removed by electrostatic precipitators(静电吸尘器). unfortunately, they use large amounts of electricity, and the electrical energy, which is hardly affordable for most of us, has to come from somewhere. fly ash removed from the air has to be put on the land or water, although it could be used in some way. the elimination(去除) of sulfur dioxide is more difficult. low-sulfur coal is rare and expensive. although sulfur can be washed from finely pulverized(粉末化) coal, the process is expensive. there are also
