24、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

26、James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.

“J.C.”, he replied.

She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.

“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”

Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.

“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”

In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

【1】Owens got his other name “Jesse” when _________.

A．he went to Ohio State University

B．his teacher made fun of him

C．his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”

D．he won gold medals in the Games

【2】Owens received no telephone calls from the president because ________.

A．he was not of the right race

B．he was the son of a poor farmer

C．he didn’t shake hands with Hitler

D．he refused to listen to the suggestion that he give up

【3】Which of the following shows the correct order of James’ life?

a. James worked part time to get the fee for school.

b. He was honored by the US.

c. He got success at the Olympic Games.

d. James set many records in Big Ten Games.

e. He went to Cleveland with his family.

f. Owens fell down and hurt his back.

A．a-e-f-d-b-c

B．e-a-d-f-b-c

C．a-e-d-f-c-b

D．e-a-f-d-c-b

【4】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．They have him famous in the US.

B．They have been changed for money to help him live on.

C．They have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life.

D．They have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs.
