解析試題分析：本文介紹了微軟公司在2014年的4月8日將停止對微軟XP操作系統(tǒng)提供技術(shù)服務(wù)。這項技術(shù)已經(jīng)應(yīng)用十二年了，對于這項技術(shù)的停用，中國的使用者會受到最大的影響，因為中國的使用者大約占全世界的70%。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：把劃線部分翻譯成漢語。分析原文：The computers that use the XP system
are not as safe as before.分析：that use the XP system是定語從句，修飾電腦，表示用XP操作系統(tǒng)的電腦。Not as ……as表示：不如……一樣……故填：用XP系統(tǒng)的電腦沒有以前安全了。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：在哪一年，微軟公司提供XP操作系統(tǒng)服務(wù)的？分析原文： Microsoft has stopped providing service for Windows XP since April 8,2014. Microsoft has provided support for Windows XP for the past 12 years. 句意：自2014年4月8日,微軟為Windows XP停止提供服務(wù)。在過去的12年，微軟提供了Windows XP支持。分析2014年停止服務(wù)，在12年前開始的這個項目，也就是2014減去12得2002，因此，2002年開始提供服務(wù)的。故填：In 2002
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：通過短文得知，全世界有多少XP操作系統(tǒng)的用戶？分析原文： it has about 210 million XP users, who make up about 70.percent of the PC market in the world. 句意：在中國有大約210百萬的用戶，占全世界的70%，那么全世界的使用人數(shù)大約為210除以70%等于300百萬。故填：300 million.
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：中國如何打破信息壟斷和保護(hù)信息網(wǎng)絡(luò)的安全？分析原文：China can break the monopoly(壟斷)of international IT giants and protect the internet security(安全) by having information technology and a policy that encourages innovation.句意：打破信息壟斷和保護(hù)信息網(wǎng)絡(luò)的安全，通過信息技術(shù)和政策,鼓勵創(chuàng)新。故填：By having information technology and a policy that encourages innovation.
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：下列哪一項是全文的中心思想？通過全文的閱讀，很明確是在講述微軟公司不提供對XP操作系統(tǒng)的服務(wù)。故選：D

In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced (先進(jìn)的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (發(fā)動機(jī)) and two sensors (傳感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

【小題1】Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?

A．They cannot repair themselves.
B．The computer has changed a lot.
C．They have no computers inside.
D．The computer cannot work if the robot changes.
【小題2】The new technology allows the robot to _________.
A．do house work for humans
B．keep working after being damaged
C．remember a lot of information
D．tell people where it is
【小題3】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph5 refers to ________.
A．sensors B．robots
C．a(chǎn)rms and legs D．scientists
【小題4】How do the sensors in the robot work?
A．They can replace the computer when it’s broken.
B．They can find out where the damage comes from.
C．They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.
D．They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.
【小題5】The passage is probably from_____________.
A．a(chǎn) newspaper B．a(chǎn)n advertisement
C．a(chǎn) tour guide D．a(chǎn)n application

Angela Zou hardly writes text messages now. Sitting at her office desk, Zou asks her iPhone, where they should go to eat. When it buzzes seconds later, she lifts it to her ear for her friend's reply. The conversation goes back and forth through these pieces of words before they decide on the place for lunch.

Like millions of others across Asia, Zou is using WeChat, a smartphone app（應(yīng)用程序）developed in China, to send voice messages, snapshots（快照）and emoticons（表情符號）to her friends. Now that its walkietalkie-style（對講機(jī)式）messages have become everywhere, she said typing feels like hard work.
WeChat's popularity has grown quickly since it came into use in 2011. Tencent, the company that developed the app, announced in September that its users had doubled in six months to 200 million. Most users are in China, though WeChat is being used across Asia and already has users in the US and the UK.  
Historically, it has proved difficult for Chinese internet firms to develop in foreign countries. But WeChat is becoming the first Chinese social media application with the possibility to go to the whole world.
WeChat is similar to the popular US-based mobile messaging service WhatsApp, but it does more. It comes in eight languages including English, Arabic and Russian.
"I used WhatsApp before I came back to China from studying abroad and found all my friends were using WeChat," said Zou, who is 25. "Now when I want to contact someone I use WeChat first." The app's features include Look Around, which allows users to chat to strangers nearby, while Moments works like Instagram（圖片分享）.
【小題1】Why does Angela Zou hardly write text messages now?
                                                                        
【小題2】What is WeChat used to do?
                                                                           
【小題3】Which company of China developed WeChat?
                                                                         
【小題4】Where is WeChat used?
                                                                          
【小題5】What do you think of WeChat?

A crow(烏鴉) is about twenty inches(英寸) long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests(巢) in the trees. They sleep there at night.
Crows are much noisier than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns(輪流) like human beings(人類). It is easy to tell(判斷) from crow’s sound if they are pleased or angry.

A pair of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other one becomes very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and some time later it dies too.
