Since 2013, Torobo, a robotic arm designed to test the limits of artificial intelligence, has had one ambition—to be admitted to the University of Tokyo. However, it has repeatedly failed. This year was no exception.
In early November, Torobo took an exam to prepare for an all-important standardized test. While Torobo’s overall score of 525 out of 950 was 14 points higher than in 2015, its standard score of 57.1% was slightly lower, because human students did better in the 2016 test.
Though the score, which is higher than the national average, is enough to get the robot admitted to many other famous Japanese universities, it falls short of the minimum required for the University of Tokyo.
A closer analysis of the results showed that Torobo’s newly programmed ability to solve complex physics problems helped increase its year-over-year physics score from 46.5% to 59%. The robot also dug deep into its database of information from textbooks and websites to obtain an impressive 66.3% in world history. The average 60% scores acquired in the two math sections, were not too shabby, either.
But, while Torobo is able to handle knowledge-based questions and ones involving complex mathematical calculations, it has a hard time thinking independently. As a result, the robot is unable to comprehend multiple sentences and phrases to arrive at the logical conclusions required in the English language tests. This weakness was reflected in the weak oral and writing scores, which came in at 36.2% and 50.5%, respectively.
Fortunately, after four grueling years, the robot’s creators have decided to free Torobo from its annual test-taking suffering. The research team will instead focus on improving the robot’s ability to pick out specific answers from massive sets of data—a skill that led to its excellent history scores. They believe the expertise (专门技术) will help Torobo succeed as an industrial robot.
1.What is the disadvantage of Torobo?
A. It has weak independent thinking ability. B. It couldn’t sit through the exams.
C. It has much difficulty searching for facts. D. It doesn’t own language skills.
2.What does the underlined word “grueling” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. happy B. tiring C. successful D. independent
3.What did the exam results show?
A. Torobo was admitted to a university.
B. Torobo did well in the history exam.
C. Torobo’s score didn’t reach the national average.
D. Torobo’s programmed ability improved its math score.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. Subjects a robot is good at. B. Majors that are suitable for a robot.
C. A robot’s ways to deal with exams. D. A robot’s performances in exams.

As a five-year-old, I didn’t know how poor we were. My father would not be home that Christmas Eve. He was in the Army serving overseas. My mother and I worked all afternoon making tree decorations. The kitchen table was crowded with stars made of shiny paper. We were going to get the Christmas tree in the evening, when the prices for them usually dropped.
After sunset, we walked four blocks to a parking lot where they sold Christmas trees. “How much is your cheapest tree?” My mother asked the man standing at the entrance. He held his gloved hands over the fire. “Thirty dollars, miss.”
Her smile disappeared, “Nothing for less?” The man picked up a small tree branch and dropped it into the fire. “I just work here. I can’t change the price.”
The sudden melancholy（忧郁）in my mother’s face made me sad. The man looked down at me for what felt like a long time; it probably was only moments. He pointed at a pile of branches in the corner. “Behind it is a tree that we can’t sell. You can have it for free.”
“Thank you, sir,” I said.
There it was, a thing just a little taller than me. It had few branches—almost a ghost（幽灵）of a tree. My mother asked, “Can we take some of these branches?” He waved his arm. “Take it all if you want to, miss.”
We headed back home. We set the tree in the living room. I couldn’t imagine how we could hang many decorations on such a tree. She was smiling again, “Go to sleep now, son. Santa will decorate the tree for us.”
I woke at dawn and rushed into the living room. To my amazement, the tree had a beautiful natural shape. The decorations shone in the morning light. My mother had somehow fixed branches to the tree trunk. A few weeks later, my father returned. When I told him about the tree, tears filled the eyes of that strong soldier.
Since then, I have seen many wonderful holidays. That Christmas remains as my favorite.
1.Why did the mother decide to get the tree in the evening?
A. She wanted to buy it at a lower price.
B. She was fully occupied during the day.
C. She was waiting for the father to pick it up.
D. She had made an appointment with the seller.
2.How did the son feel when he spotted the tree behind the branches?
A. Disappointed. B. Delighted. C. Frightened. D. Relieved.
3.What brought the father to tears?
A. The pain of his war wound. B. The efforts his wife put into the tree.
C. The reunion with his family. D. The decorations his son made for the tree.

Cleaning your plate may not help feed hungry children today, but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food waste from the farm to the fork, help the environment and make it easier to feed the world’s growing population.
Hard data still being collected, but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month—about $40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash.
“We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said Esther Gove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I don’t buy as much fresh produce as I used to.”
But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen. Agriculture is the world’s largest user of water, a big consumer of energy and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7 billion today.
No matter how sustainable (可持续的) farming is, if the food’s not getting eaten, it’s not sustainable and it’s not a good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and vegetables end up in the trash because they aren’t pretty enough to meet companies’ standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or aren’t eaten at a restaurant. In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people can’t afford the food that’s produced.
1.From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate ________.
A. is you mother’s best advice for you
B. can solve certain problems for the world
C. can help feed hungry children all over the world
D. helps meet the growing population’s needs
2.The underlined word “emitter” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. user B. finder C. protector D. producer
3.What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant?
A. Ordering enough and packing the leftovers.
B. Ordering more than he or she can eat.
C. Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving.
D. Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone.
4.Which of the following topics will follow the text?
A. More examples of food waste. B. Ways to reduce food waste.
C. Experts’ idea on the environment. D. Advice for food with high prices.
