drink

food. Besides, special bags 6 for their drinks.

As a university student, I decided to learn German. For some reason, I really liked the
language, but I was not very good at learning it. The grammar 16 me a lot and
英语练习 第 2 页（共 12页）
even drove me crazy. My only advantage was 17 — I got an A on every word test I
took. After two years of study, I managed to communicate in broken German and applied to
study in Germany to complete my degree. It was the 18 term I would ever have.
The moment I arrived in Germany, I felt like I was making a fresh start. The German I
learned in university wasn’t 19 for everyday conversation. My book knowledge
didn’t work when I used it to read emails and talk with my classmates. I was often nervous
at school because I always 20 whether the teachers would call on me in class and
whether I’d understand their questions. I only 21 a little around my eight
roommates. It’s mainly because they were willing to speak German slowly to me and didn’t
seem to mind my 22 .
I chose to study three courses — reading and writing, grammar and history. All were
in German and difficult, but the history class was the worst. The teacher spoke so fast that
almost everything he said flew right over my head. I sat in the front, took notes and even
wrote down every single word he said 23 , but nothing helped. I had no idea what
the class was really about.
Years have passed, but I still remember how it felt to 24 another language so
hard. That trip was a difficult but 25 lesson. I think my failure that term taught me
just as much as my success.

（A）
It was my first full-time job as a teacher in a high school in Riverside, California. The
Department Chair told me that I would teach a writing class. I felt very confident.
It was my first class. When I entered the classroom, I was surprised. These kids looked
too tall and mature (成熟的) to be high school students! I still didn’t have a list of names,
so I started by talking with them and asking questions. Everything was fine until I noticed a
tall boy eating a piece of cake. Rule 1, clearly written on the board, was “NO FOOD OR
DRINK IN CLASS”. I got a little mad and asked him to read the rule out aloud. He did so
and he got mad too!
I asked him, “Did you understand what you read ” This made him even madder.
“Yes, I did.”
“Well, then, what were you doing just now ”
“I was eating a piece of cake,” He looked at me angrily.
“Well, get up, go outside and throw the cake away.”
And then both of us made a mistake. He said, “Here, I don’t even want it.” Then he put
the piece of cake in my hand. The icing (糖衣) of the cake went among my fingers, making
a real mess. I was so mad that I hit the cake on his hair!
The class started laughing and clapping. Somebody got up, went to the board and
wrote “Teacher - 1; Mark - 0”. I didn’t know whether I was supposed to laugh or not, but I
couldn’t help it. And then, Mark got up and left.
The story was all over the school later. Some students came to me and said, “I hear that
terrible things will happen if somebody tries to eat cake in your class!” Oh, how
embarrassing!
Now I still teach, but I’m much better at dealing with students.

A new research published in Nature Machine Intelligence suggests that teaching
materials science, mechanical engineering, computer science, biology and chemistry as a
combined discipline (综合学科) could help students develop the skills they need to create
lifelike artificially intelligent (AI) robots as researchers.
Known as Physical AI, these robots will be designed to look and behave like humans
or other animals. At the same time, they will own intelligence normally connected with
biological organisms. These robots could in future help humans at work and in daily living,
英语练习 第 6 页（共 12页）
performing tasks that are dangerous for humans and helping with medicine, caregiving,
security, building and industry.
However, today’s robots and biological beings exist separately and the intelligence of
the two have not yet been combined. Co-lead author Professor Mirko Kovac said, “The
development of robot ‘bodies’ has greatly fallen behind the development of robot ‘brains’.
Unlike digital AI, which has been studied deeply in the last few decades, breathing physical
intelligence into robots has remained relatively unexplored.”
The researchers say that the reason for this gap might be that no systematic
educational method has yet been developed for teaching students and researchers to create
robot bodies and brains combined as whole units.
This new research suggests a way of overcoming the gap by combining scientific
disciplines to help future researchers create lifelike robots with abilities such as developing
bodily control, autonomy and sensing at the same time.
Professor Kovac said, “We picture Physical AI robots being developed in the lab by
using unusual materials and research methods. Cross-disciplinary cooperation and
partnerships will be very important.”
The researchers also advise strengthening research activities in Physical AI by
supporting teachers on both the institutional and community level. They suggest hiring and
supporting university educators whose priority (重点) will be cross-disciplinary Physical
AI research.“Creating lifelike robots has been an impossible task so far, but it could be
made possible by including Physical AI in the high education system,” Kovac said.
We hope that the researchers’ work will encourage active discussion of the topic and
will lead to combination of Physical AI disciplines in the educational mainstream. The
researchers intend to carry out the Physical AI methodology in their research and education
activities to help build human-robot ecosystems.
34. What do we know about Physical AI robots according to the passage
A. They have been able to help humans at work.
B. They will have human brains and animal bodies.
C. They have been designed to look and act like humans.
D. They will have intelligence connected with biological organisms.
35. What does the underlined words“this gap” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to
A. Biological beings have been paid enough attention to.
英语练习 第 7 页（共 12页）
B. The robot“brains”have fallen behind the robot“bodies”.
C. Systematic educational method hasn’t been developed by now.
D. Physical AI hasn’t been well explored compared with digital AI.
36. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. intelligence is important in creating digital AI robots
B. development in digital AI can help produce smarter robots
C. unusual materials might be used to develop Physical AI robots
D. we have developed lifelike robots by having Physical AI in education
37. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To show the difficulties of Physical AI development and the related solutions.
B. To call for combination of Physical AI disciplines in the education system.
C. To explain the reason why Physical intelligence has remained unexplored.
D. To encourage people to prepare for the age of Physical AI progress.
