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 (先进的) 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 (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) 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 losethem. 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.”
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.
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
3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. sensors B. robots
C. arms and legs D. scientists
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.
5.The passage is probably from_____________.
A. a newspaper B. an advertisement
C. a tour guide D. an application
1. D 2. B 3. C 4. C 5. A 【解析】 试题短文大意:这篇短文主要讲述了一种新型的机器人,一种新技术将使得机器人在损坏后也能继续工作. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.查看答案和解析>>

Do you want to know any funny stories about Halloween? Let me tell you.
Long ago, people thought black cats were symbols (象征) of bad luck. In the Dark Ages (欧洲中世纪) witches were very common. And they had evil magic power. When they went out, they would take cats with them. So people believed that black cats meant bad luck. However, nowadays, in most parts of the UK, people think it’s actually good luck for a black cat to cross your path. Fortunately, through centuries, those poor little things probably don’t even care about it.
The tradition of the Jack o’ Lantern comes from a story about a boy called Jack. He made the devil (恶魔) angry, so he had to live forever in the hell (地狱). But he didn’t give up. He tried to use the turnip (萝卜) to make a lantern and guide himself out of the hell.
People believe that, on Halloween, the gap between our world and the ghost (鬼) world is thinnest, so the ghosts of the dead could mingle(混合) with the living. In order to fool them and make them believe we’re one of them, we put on all kinds of scary costumes. So the ghosts won’t take our souls away, and we can protect ourselves. But nowadays, “Trick or treat” is a modern custom and children like it very much. They will dress up in costumes and go from house to house to ask for treats like candies or toys. If they can’t get any treats, they might play a trick on the owners of the house.
1.People thought long ago.
A. black cats meant good luck
B. black cats meant bad luck
C. witches were kind
D. witches weren’t common
2.Why did Jack have to live forever in the hell?
A. Because he liked crying.
B. Because he broke a lantern.
C. Because he liked the turnip.
D. Because he made the devil angry.
3.What does the underlined word “costumes” probably mean?
A. 想法 B. 服装 C. 咒语 D. 传说
4. is especially liked by children.
A. Playing with white cats
B. Making a lantern
C. “Trick or treat”
D. Playing with black cats
5.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Funny Stories about Halloween
B. Christmas Day
C. Scary Stories about My School Day
D. Easter Day
