Jingwei Tries to Fill up the Sea

Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea, and her boat sank to the sea. Her spirit turned into a beautiful bird after she died. She cried sadly in the sound “Jingwei, Jingwei”. That was why people called her “Jingwei”.

The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. She was so sad that she decided to fill up the sea. Every day, she flew between the mountain and the sea, carrying a stone or a tree branch from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.

One day, the sea said to Jingwei, “Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You’ll never fill me up.” Jingwei replied, “I’ll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it will take me thousands of years! I’ll fight on without taking a rest.”

Robinson Crusoe

Robinson Crusoe is a main character from a novel named Robinson Crusoe.

When Robinson first arrived on the island, he had nothing. But he found the ship and made a small boat. He brought back many things he could use-food and drink, tools, knives and guns. Although he lost everything, he didn’t lose his life. He kept working and waiting for another ship. He used the knife to cut down trees and built a house. He went with his gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. He learned to grow fruit and vegetables. He lived on the island for many years and he was saved finally.

25、

Robots as we know them started out as science fiction. But how are they changed from fiction into fact? Let’s take a short tour down the development of robots.

A Shakey start

In 1954, Unimate, a large robotic arm, became the world’s first industrial robot. For a long time, robots were only found in factories or laboratories. Shakey, developed between 1966 and 1972, was the world’s first mobile intelligent robot. Shakey’s software has since led to robotic cleaners and self-driving cars.

Helping hands

Eventually, robots found their way into homes and classrooms. In 1999, the Japanese company Sony released a robotic pet dog called Aibo. Then, in 2006, a French company introduced a robot called NAO, which is used by schools around the world to help teachers with lessons.

Out of this world

Robots have become an important part of space missions. Recently, the Curiosity Rover robot from a space agency is exploring the surface of Mars. The International Space Station has a human-like robot called Robonaut 2 (R2) that performs a series of repair tasks so that the astronauts (宇航员) have more time to focus on scientific research.

Into the future

Some people fear that robots will take too many jobs away from humans, which is called automation. According to studies, up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. However, some experts think that the use of robots will allow businesses to create more jobs than have been lost. Meanwhile, the coronavirus pandemic (新冠肺炎) has shown how robots and humans can work together. In Singapore, a robotic dog called Spot has been used to help enforce social distancing. Looking ahead, whether it’s in education, entertainment or space research, robots will play a big part in the future of humanity.

【1】The world’s first industrial robot was ________.

A．Unimate

B．Shakey

C．Aibo

D．NAO

【2】Robonaut 2 is a robot that ________.

A．explores the surface of Mars

B．looks like a pet dog

C．does repair work for astronauts

D．focuses on scientific research

【3】What does the underline word “automation” in the last paragraph probably mean in Chinese? ________

A．自动化

B．规模化

C．人工化

D．信息化

【4】The author’s attitude towards the role of robots in the future is ________.

A．hopeful

B．worried

C．uncertain

D．doubtful

【5】What is the text mainly about? ________

A．What robots can do.

B．How robots develop.

C．Who invented robots.

D．Why robots are useful.

26、   Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker, "Does anyone know American Sign Language (ASL)?"

Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button (按钮). An air hostess came by and explained the situation, "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf" she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he's traveling alone and she couldn't understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people. She knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's hand. So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt (跪)by the seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, "How are you? Are you OK?" Cook asked for some water.

When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.

"He didn't need anything. He's lonely and wanted to talk," Clara said.

So for the next hour, she talked about her family and plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her, she "looked attentively at his face with such kindness," a passenger reported.

"Clara was amazing," an air hostess told Alaska Airlines in an interview" You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel (天使).

Cook's reply —"Best trip I've ever had".

【1】How did Clare Daly communicate with Tim Cook?

A.By talking to him. B.By spelling into his hand.

C.By writing on the paper. D.By showing body language.

【2】Why did Tim Cook keep asking for service?

A.Because he felt hungry and thirsty. B.Because he needed someone to talk to.

C.Because he was afraid of taking planes. D.Because he was interested in others' stories.

【3】According to the passage, what kind of girl is Clara Daly?

A.Patient and caring. B.Honest and creative.

C.Beautiful and lovely. D.Humorous and friendly.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.No one knew ASL on the flight. B.Clara had studied ASL for many years.

C.Clara came to help Cook four times. D.People on the flight spoke highly of Clara.

27、When most dog owners use certain words like “sit”, “stay” or “treat”, they are sure that their dogs know exactly what they mean. However, researchers wonder whether dogs really understand human speech or depend on other information. For example, does the word “take” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner’s voice or gesture? A new study seems to show that “man’s best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.

The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve different dogs to train their pets to pick out two different toys such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs took turns inside a special scanner（扫描仪）. While holding up objects the dogs hadn’t seen before, first the owners tested their dog’s language skill by calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize, and then they tested by saying meaningless words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick”.

Something interesting was that the dog’s brains showed a higher level of neural（神经的）activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words.The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words. They try to understand the new words in the hope of delighting their owners. “Dogs want to please their owners praise or food,” says a senior author of the study.

However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken command because that's what humans prefer,” Prichard says. “From the dog’s visual however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.”

【1】What’s the purpose of the new study?

A．To punish dog owners who treat their dogs badly.

B．To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.

C．To prove dogs follow owners’ order by listening.

D．To test out how dogs get information from owners.

【2】What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph 2?

A．Announce the result of the research.

B．Present the process of the research.

C．Stress the importance of the research.

D．Introduce the subjects of the research.

【3】According to the passage, what’s the difference between human brains and dog brains?

A．Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.

B．Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.

C．Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.

D．Dog brains show no sense to familiar words.

【4】What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?

A．Give dogs spoken orders.

B．Teach dogs new tricks.

C．Include sight and smell.

D．Encourage faster learning.
