  What comes into your mind when you think about robots? Do you imagine armies of evil metal monsters planning to take over the world? Or, perhaps of mechanical men who have been created as guards or soldiers by a mad genius? Or maybe you think of man- like robots who act, think, and look like human beings. In fact robots like these have more to do with science fiction films than with real life. In the real world robots are machines that do jobs which otherwise have to be done by people. Robots either operate by themselves or under the control of a person.
  In a car factory, for example, robot machinery can put together and paint car bodies. On the sea bed remotecontrolled(遥控)underwater machines with mechanical arms can perform tasks too difficult for divers. Robot spacecraft can explore the solar system and send back information about planets and stars.
  Many robots have computer brains. Some robots are fitted with cameras , sensors, and microphones which enable them to see, to feel, and to hear. And some robots can even produce electronic speech.
  All this does not mean that a robot can think and behave like a human being. Present day robots have to be programmed with a good deal of information before they can carry out even simple tasks.
 44.Robots in real life________.
  A. can behave like human beings   B. have the ability to control the world
  C. can think by themselves        D. can help us with a lot of work
 45.According to this article, which of the following is not true about robots in the real world?
  A. Some robots are as creative as artists.     B. Some robots can help manufacture cars.
  C. Some robots can see and hear.       D. Some robots can explore outer space.
 46.Robots can perform many tasks for man because________.
  A. they have intelligence    B. they are supplied with computer programs
  C. they can imitate human beings    D. they have the ability to learn new things
 47.The robots in science fiction films and those in real life differ mainly in________.
  A. mentality   B. appearance   C. material    D. size

In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?

 The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.

 On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.

 Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.

 Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?

【小题1】55.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author's description of the disaster in 2094?

A. The whole world becomes extremely cold

B. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed

C. The visit of the comet results in wars

D. The whole mankind becomes extinct

【小题2】56.Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?

A. Because they could only live in the warm climate

B. Because their extinction indicates future disasters

C. Because they once dominated the earth

D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age

【小题3】57.In writing the passage, the author intends to ______.

A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future

B. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed

C. warn of a possible disaster in the future

D. tell the historical development of the Earth

 58.It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) ______.

A. article of popular science      B. news report

C. research paper       D. horror story

Thousands of villages in the developing world have no telephones. They have no money to build telephone systems. A new kind of technology may help change this situation. I t reduces the cost of building and using telephone systems.
Traditional systems use wires to carry electrical signals from one telephone to another. The wires often cost much more than telephones. The new system is based on radio communication. Each telephone sends and receives signals through the air, but not through the wires. This reduces the cost greatly. The radio telephone gets their power from the sun.
Each is connected to a solar equipment that changes the sun’s energy into electricity. A battery stores the electricity until someone needs to make or receive a call. The telephone turns off by itself if the level of power in the battery falls too low. This prevents damage to the system. Each radio telephone is connected to a computer microprocessor. It rewards how many calls are sent and received. It controls the power supply.
The technology needs more study, but its new use of radio equipment sun power and computers may help start telephone ringing in the other parts of the world.
68. The radio telephone gets their power from_____.
A. the sun    B. electricity    C. battery    D. a special equipment
69. Each telephone is connected to_____.
A. a solar equipment        B. a radio machine
C. a computer microprocessor    D. Both A and C
70. From the passage we can infer that_____.
A. the new telephone system costs less than before
B. we can not use the radio as before
C. the new telephone system will take the place of the old one
D. it will be much easier to radio from now on
71. The main idea of the passage is_____.
A. a simple telephone system has been invented and costs less money
B. thousands of villages will use the new telephone system very soon
C. traditional telephone system will become useless
D. the new system will be too good to use
