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

25、   A wise man was walking from one town to another with a few of his followers, and they happened to pass a lake. So they stopped there to rest for a while, and the wise man said to one of his followers, "Could you please get me some water from the lake? One of the followers walked to the lake. Some people were washing clothes in the water, and right at that moment, several carts(手推车) started crossing the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy(泥泞的).

Then he went back. and told the wise man that the water was very muddy and not good to drink. After they had rested for about half an hour, the wise man again asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. And the follower went to the lake. This time he found that all the mud had settled to the bottom. The water was very clear and looked good to drink. So he filled his water bottle and took it to the wise man.

The wise man took the water bottle and drank, then looked up at the follower. “See what you did to make the water clean?" he said. "You let it be for a while and the mud settled down on its own, so that you could get some clear drinking water. Your mind can also be like that lake when it is disturbed by something. If you just let it be and give it a little time, it will most likely settle down on its own without you having to put in any effort at all to calm it.”

26、

The FIFA World Cup 2022 has begun in Qatar. It is the biggest and also the most eye-catching sporting event in the world. But this year’s event looks quite different for two main reasons.

First, it’s the first time in history that the event is happening in winter, from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18. This is because Qatar is a desert country and in summer the temperature can be as high as 42℃. So it’s too hot to play outdoor sports. But it’s still warm in winter. The temperature in the stadiums (体育场) can be around 20℃ to 30℃, which is just right for the event.

Another reason is that Chinese elements(元素), from brand support to construction(建筑), can be found both on and off the field. The idea of “Made in China” is also catching the world’s attention.       

According to Global Data, a data analysis and consulting company based in London, Chinese companies have put $1.4 billion (about 10 billion yuan) into the event, making them its biggest sponsors(赞助商).

China Railway Construction Corporation designed and built the Lusail Stadium. With 80,000 seats, it’s the largest of the eight stadiums for the World Cup. As the main stadium, it will hold the closing ceremonies and 10 games, including the final. Besides the stadium, Chinese companies from Guangdong and Zhejiang have provided more than 10,000 container houses for tourists and soccer fans to live in.

“The World Cup sponsorship by a large number of Chinese companies shows China’s economic power and makes the world feel the power of Chinese brands,” Song Xiangqing, vice-president of the Commerce Economy Association of China, told China Daily.
