21、   It’s not new for labs to use robots. But earlier robots usually stayed in one place.

The UL robot, which scientists at the University of Liverpool (UL) have developed, is the opposite of that. The 1.75-meter robot is similar in size to a human. Though it weighs much more than most people, it’s able to easily move about in the same sort of space as humans do.

It uses a special laser system called LIDAR to guide itself—even in the dark. Once it’s close to a work station, it can move into a more exact position through its touch sensors. With one long arm which can turn in almost any direction, the robot is able to use several different kinds of lab equipment to run its own experiments. Some of the equipment has been changed slightly to make it easier for the robot, but basically and most impressively, it’s the same equipment a human would use. The robot was built and programmed by Benjamin Burger, a PhD student at the university, who says it took a lot of effort to program the robot so that it can do things without making mistakes.

Over the next 8 days, the robot ran 688 experiments, always choosing its next experiment based on the results of the last one.

Andrew Cooper, who led the program says, “The robot ran for 172 hours, stopping for only a couple of hours each day to recharge its batteries. To do the same amount of work would have taken a human several months. It isn’t cheap—it cost around $125,000 and took years to program. But the scientists compare that to the cost of other laboratory equipment which they say can also be quite expensive. The fact that the robot can be used for many different purposes is a huge advantage. It is meant to help scientists, rather than replace them, and it frees up time for the human researchers to think creatively.”

【1】What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 2?

A.Earlier robots are smaller and lighter.

B.Labs don’t give up the earlier robots.

C.Earlier robots can’t move around.

D.Labs use robots more commonly.

【2】What attracts people most when the UL robot is working?

A.It moves its touch sensors frequently.

B.It spreads its long arms automatically.

C.It is equipped with a special laser system.

D.It uses the same equipment as humans do.

【3】What is Andrew Cooper’s opinion about the UL robot?

A.It’s inconvenient to get recharged.

B.It’s worth the money and the time.

C.It helps other robots perform tasks.

D.It can inspire scientists’ creativity.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A.Robot Runs Experiments on Its Own

B.The UL Robot Finishes Its Experiment

C.Robots Replace Scientists Very Soon

D.The UL Robot Develeps Its Advantages

22、Researchers reported a blind man who had received a gene of a light-sensing protein can now see and touch objects with the help of special goggles(护目镜).

His vision gains are modest—he cannot see colors or distinguish faces or letters. But if the treatment helps other study participants, it may offer advantages over other vision technologies for severely blind people. For scientists, the result is a milestone: the first published report of using a relatively new technology called optogenetics(光遗传学) to treat a disease in people. “It’s not the kind of vision people dream of, but it’s a big step,” said Jean Bennett of the University of Pennsylvania.

Optogenetics uses light to control neurons. Scientists add the gene to a light-sensitive protein called opsin(视蛋白) from algae or bacteria and then shine light on the cell to cause the opsin to change shape, which switches the neuron’s activity on or off. Since it was developed nearly 20 years ago, optogenetics has mostly been used as a tool to treat animals, brain diseases. But researchers hope it can one day treat diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and blindness.

“The eye is the simplest place to start because it is small and easy to access,” said Botond Roska, a physician-scientist at the University of Base.

The patients in the study have lost the retinal photoreceptor cells(视网膜感光细胞) that use human opsins to turn light into electrical signals relayed to the brain. But their eyes still have the cells that route these signals to the brain via the optic nerve. That means the patients could potentially gain vision by giving these cells a new kind of opsin.

【1】What can we know about the result from paragraph 2?

A．It has shortcomings but is important.

B．It can be used to treat blind people now.

C．It is the conclusion of previous research.

D．It is a way to help people become modest.

【2】Which is the key to the treatment?

A．New goggles.

B．Suitable opsin.

C．Natural proteins.

D．Retinal photoreceptor cells.

【3】What can we infer about optogenetics from the text?

A．It can benefit both humans and animals.

B．Scientists have never focused on it before.

C．If has been used to treat animals’ blindness.

D．Patients should know something about it.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．A Report on a New Protein

B．Ways to Help Patients Stay Healthy

C．Researchers Find Blindness Can Be Cured

D．A Treatment Helps Blind Men Regain Some Vision

23、   Forty-three years ago, a man took a “small step” on the moon and brought mankind a “giant leap” forward. As the first person to walk on the moon, American astronaut Neil Armstrong is a man whose name will be remembered for generations to come.

But being the first is never easy. With so many unknowns about space at that time, Armstrong himself was astonished that Apollo 11 actually worked. He thought he and his partners had merely a 50 percent chance of a successful landing back in 1969.

It was tough indeed. When the module (登月舱) was approaching the moon’s surface, the computer wanted to rest them on a steep slope covered with rocks, but Armstrong realized it was an unsafe place to stop.

As a last minute decision, he safely landed the module by himself. When they finally touched the ground, “there was something like 20 seconds of fuel left,” he said in an interview earlier this year.

Unfortunately, some people doubted his visit to the moon, saying it was faked. But Armstrong responded with a chuckle (轻声笑), saying: “It was never a concern to me because I knew one day, somebody was going to go fly back up there and pick up that camera I left.”

For all his global fame, Neil Armstrong is a remarkably modest man. He rarely gave interviews and didn’t like talking about his achievement. He stopped giving his signatures when he found that people sold them for thousands of dollars.

“I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger (记账簿) of our daily work,” Armstrong said in a CBS interview in 2005. When asked how he felt knowing his footprints would be likely to stay on the moon’s surface for thousands of years, he said: “I kind of hope that somebody goes up there one of these days and cleans them up.”

Armstrong passed away last month at the age of 82, but he will be memorized. “The next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink (眨眼示意),” his family said to Reuters.

【1】It can be inferred from the article that before his expedition to the moon, Armstrong _______.

A. was certain that Apollo 11 would work well

B. believed the module would land safely on the moon

C. had prepared himself to face possible failure

D. planned to land the module on the moon by himself

【2】How did Armstrong respond when people suspected that he had been to the moon?

A. He was annoyed and upset.

B. He was extremely happy about it.

C. He tried to find evidence that they were wrong.

D. He believed they would be proved wrong some day.

【3】By saying “I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work”, Armstrong meant that __________.

A. the more daily work you’ve done, the more easily you will be recognized

B. things that look spectacular are not as useful as ordinary successes

C. achieving greatness can make other successes feel less important

D. everyday’s hard work is more appreciated than one successful moment

【4】Which of the following best describes Armstrong?

A. He was ambitious.

B. He tried to avoid the spotlight.

C. He balanced his life and work well.

D. He was talkative and loved telling jokes.

24、Ellie was a skilled gymnast（体操运动员）. But she liked showing off（炫耀））. At the gymnastics tryout（选拔赛）, she put on a perfect performance. "See who can do that! " she said proudly.

The next Friday, the list was posted announcing who had made the team. Ellie's name wasn't on it. "It's unfair. I'm better than all the other girls! " she said. She went to see the coach.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

This Old Chair

“Mom! I’m home!” John slammed the door and dropped his books on a nearby chair.

“Hi, John, home already?” His mom turned around, “Spring is coming, and I am doing our annual spring cleaning. Come and help me, okay?”

“Okay, okay,” John agreed reluctantly.

They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was spotless. Exhausted, they sank into the couch. Wearily pointing to Pop-Pop’s chair, which was faded and worn, John’s mom exclaimed, “Oh my! That old chair has got to go. We’ll buy Pop-Pop a new one. Let’s take the chair to the curb (马路边缘). Tomorrow the garbage truck is picking up on our block.”

As they attempted to move the chair, Pop-Pop, John’s grandpa, who lived with them since Grandma had died, worked his way through the door. Seeing what was happening, he quickly blocked their way. “Oh, no!” he protested. “You can’t take my chair.”

“It’s old. . . It’s worn. . . . ” John’s mom argued, a slight edge to her voice.

“No,” Pop-Pop persisted, trying to push his chair back into place.

“But Pop, we’ll buy you a new one,” John’s mom tried to persuade the old man.

“I don’t want a new one,” Pop-Pop’s voice trembled.

“I give up.” John’s mom let go of the chair. “We’ll discuss it tonight when Matt gets home.”Matt, John’s dad, was still at work. With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair and closed his eyes.

“Pop-Pop, why won’t you let us get rid of the chair?” John asked when his mother left the room. “It’s so old.”

“You don’t understand, John.” Pop-Pop shook his head and said, “I sat in this chair, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this chair and close my eyes I feel she is near.” The old man tenderly stroked the arm of the chair.

It’s amazing, John thought, how Pop-Pop can remember things from the past. In the present, he forgets almost everything. John sat down on the floor by Pop-Pop’s feet and listened as the old man went on.
