1. Robots are known as the future of technology. Robotics technology has just landed in the

workplace and there is a lot of work to do. Below we’ll discuss some of the best and most advanced

robots ever made by humans.

Asimo

The primary focus of the robot is to help people. Asimo travels all around the world, making people

aware how robots can make life easier and help humans. It can dance, run and even kick a soccer

ball. The robot can communicate with people in three different languages including Japanese,

Chinese and English.

Created by: Honda (Japan)

Sophia

It is a realistic example of a perfect robot because it has about 50 different facial expressions just

like humans. Sophia is primarily designed for education, research and entertainment. It travels

throughout the world explaining to people the importance of robots in human life.

Created by: Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong, China)

Atlas

Its body shape is so dynamic that it can use its all body skills to move quickly and balance itself on

diverse terrains (地形). The robot is capable of performing many different tasks but some favourite

tasks are running, jumping and turnover movements. Its advanced AI systems make it capable of

seeing barriers and negotiating through diverse terrains.

Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States)

Spot

Spot is an animal robot, or say a dog robot, because it looks very similar to a dog. Spot can search

around your office, home, playground etc. as a normal dog usually does. Spot has some outstanding

functions like it can map your environment, sense barriers, lift packages and more.

Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States)

1. Which of the following characterizes Asimo?

A．Its high speed.

C．Its language ability.

2. Which robot is created by China?

A．Asimo. B．Sophia. C．Atlas. D．Spot.

B．Its facial expressions.

D．Its communication skills.

3. What do Atlas and Spot have in common?

A．They can change their body shapes.

B．They can carry small packages.

C．They can help do some housework.

D．They can detect barriers around.

2. It seemed like it had only been a few years ago that Indigo, our black Lab (拉布拉多寻回犬), had

first rushed through our door. While time raced by, our children grew up and went off to university.

The mirror, which had reflected a young mum when Indigo first arrived, now showed a woman in

late middle age. We all turned grey: me, my husband, the dog. In August 2017, I took Indigo for one

last walk. She was slow and shaky on her paws. She died that month, a tennis ball by her side. Not

long after, I got a call from our dog daycare. One of their customers was dying, and her dog, Chloe,

needed a home. Given our recent loss, they asked, might our family be interested in adopting her? I

told them I’d owned a succession of dogs since 1964, each one of them a witness to a particular

phase of my life. But with the loss of Indigo, all that was over. The days of my dogs, I now

understood, were done at last.

Then one morning, as I was passing the dog daycare, I changed my mind. What harm could Chloe

do? She spent hours that first day going to every corner, sniffing things out. Finally she sat down by

the fireplace and gave me a look as if to say if you wanted, I would stay with you.

Everything I know about love I’ve learned from dogs. But everything I know about loss I’ve learned

from them, too. They fill our hearts. And then, in what seems like no time at all, they’re gone.

1. What do we know about Indigo and the author from paragraph 1?

A．Indigo liked playing tennis ball with her.

B．Indigo kept her company for many years.

C．Indigo was the first dog she ever adopted.

D．Indigo took its last walk hesitantly with her.

2. Why did the author refuse to adopt Chloe initially?

A．She was not interested in Chloe.

B．She was too old to take care of Chloe.

C．She feared suffering mental loss again.

D．She already owned a succession of dogs.

3. How did Chloe probably feel when she first arrived at the author’s home?

A．Cautious. B．Energetic. C．Scared. D．Easy.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Why I adopt dogs B．What I learn from dogs

C．How I get along with dogs

3. Humans are not the animal kingdom's only fashionistas. Tits ( ill雀) can be fashion followers, too,

apparently. A latest study shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season's

must-have colour.

Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin were following up on a study published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams,

an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (纱) out in his

garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for being included into local

birds' nests. But which particular color was favoured varied from season to season. This suggested

that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.

Williams's work was, however, forgotten until they came across it while following up on a different

study, published by a team at the University of Toulouse, suggesting fashion-following, too. Dr.

Wild and Dr. Aplin therefore set out to re-run Williams's experiment, but this time to collect some

actual numbers.

The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue tits in a wood near the

institute. Most birds in this wood carried tracking devices fitted to them after their capture in mist

nets. That allowed the institute's researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by

recording their arrival at food containers throughout the wood. Instead of food, these containers were

loaded with wool of different colors. Interestingly, researchers soon found that most nests of blue tits

included only the color of the wool first chosen by a nestbuildcr.

Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend”, when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should

happen remains obscure. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the fashion leaders are older birds, and that

evolution favours younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what

fortune has to throw at a tit. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices are at

random-a bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.

1. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin contributed to William's work.

B．Early birds' color preference was copied by their fellows.

C．The yam was the most popular material to decorate local birds' nests.

D．The color of the yam favored by local birds was fixed throughout the year.

2. How did Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin improve William's experiment?

A．They observed the blue tits.

B．They studied the habits of blue tits.

C．They adopted the data-collecting method.

D．They fitted tracking devices to food containers.

3. What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 5 mean?

D．How dogs keep me company

A．Hidden. B．Evident. C．Complicated. D．Shallow.

4. What is the main idea of the text?

A．Birds favor certain colors in decoration.

B．Young birds follow their elders in fashion.

C．Young birds are just as intelligent as people.

D．Birds are just as fashion-conscious as people.

Plastic-Eating Worms

Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in

landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way

to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.

Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break

down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a

commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down

about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not

responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)

and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently

broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current

Biology in 2017.

Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday

food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic.

＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the

basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well,

＂she explains,

＂The wax

worm evolved a method or system to break this bond.

＂

Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the

study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with

previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn

says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or

by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?

Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break

down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process —

not simply

＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂

1. What can we learn about the worms in the study?

A．They take plastics as their everyday food.

B．They are newly evolved creatures.

C．They can consume plastics.

D．They wind up in landfills.

2. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .

A．identify other means of the breakdown

B．find out the source of the enzyme

C．confirm the research findings

D．increase the breakdown speed

3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .

A．help to raise worms

B．help make plastic bags

C．be used to clean the oceans

D．be produced in factories in future

4. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To explain a study method on worms.

B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.

C．To present a way to break down plastics.

D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.

5. Color is in everything we touch, taste, smell and feel. It evokes(唤起) emotion without any

thought. 1 We are all familiar with it, but do you know the following facts?

Silver will save your life. When buying a new car and finding yourself facing various choices, you

can’t think clearly. Your best choice is to go with silver. Silvercolored cars are least likely to be

involved in a car accident. 2 Another reason is the silver color's ability to have a look of cleanliness.

3 Tough prisoners and crazy patients？It is the color commonly used to help calm down those who

are out of control. So it surely has a useful place and a purpose, other than decorating a dress or

Barbie's dream house.

Yellow makes you hungry. Yellow and orange are not recommended for use in kitchens, as they

have a positive influence on your appetite. 4 I’m not normally one for conspiracy(阴谋) theories-

but perhaps there’s something in it for them if we remain ignorant of yellow’s effects.

Color is an imaginary friend. Technically, it’s all in our heads: color does not exist at all. 5 So, if

you start a heated debate over color combinations with someone that you are certain has a low IQ or

is just color-blind，remember it's a pointless argument and you should drop it instantly. You're both

wrong.

A．Pink comforts the nerves.

B．Blue is the most common favorite color.

C．They are most noticeable on the road and in low light.

D．Yellow-colored walls seldom leave us wanting more food.

E．It can be the focus of our careers, our lifestyle and the fun we have.

F．Then where would our restaurant owners be without the clever tricks?

G．Color tries to make sense of the huge amount of information from the outer world.

Swift opened her front door and Milo _________ running. “I couldn’t catch him,” she said.

Milo ran to a house across the street. He seemed _________ with this house, so he ran to the one

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

At his studio in Beijing, artist Zhang Xiaodong piles hundreds of sheets of thin top of one another

until they form a complete image. When there is a slight air, the pages flow, giving life to the book

1 (it).This dragon scale bookbinding(装订), 2 (stretch)back more than 1,000 years to the Tang

dynasty.

With few of the books 3 (survive)to the present day, the bookbinding technique was 4 the risk of

disappearing before Zhang decided to research and bring it back to life. After half a year’s study, he

finally learned 5 the ancient bookbinding worked. 6 (source)materials traditionally used in

bookbinding Zhang also visited old towns and heritage (遗址)sites. Then came the 7 (crucial)-and

difficult-part of the binding process: controlling the placement of each page. In order to create a

complete picture, each sheet needs to be placed in 8 (exact)the right place. Zhang said that an error

of just 9 hundredth of a centimeter can produce a huge, visible error when a book’s hundreds of

pages are displayed together.

Zhang’s 10 (prepare)that went into producing this particular work shows the very modern way that

the artist tries to understand the subject matter.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was invited to a cookout on an old friend’s farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside

the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A

noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately

trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She

ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.

With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window

glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the

door securely behind me.

When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I

removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly.

Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty?

As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to

move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away.

Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny

creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.

During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the

window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a

hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person

until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was

gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”
