Robots in Our Everyday Lives日常生活中的机器人
Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars (星球大战). Today, however, a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to appear in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes, and colours. But they all have the same type of man-made "brain". Leading the robot revolution (革命) are industrial (工业的) robots that work in factories. Industrial robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren't as friendly and bright as those you saw in Star Wars. But, their makers say, today's home robots "walk", sense objects (感知物体) in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects ( which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody is perfect.21·cn·jy·com
We may laugh at home robots today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths (波长) of light, and hear certain sounds. That's because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robots may also be equipped with devices that pick up information humans can't. To understand what their sensing devices (传感器) pick up is a hard job. Remember, man-made brains handle (处理) information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like --using only zeroes and ones.
1. From the passage, we can see that factory robots _______________.2·1·c·n·j·y
A. help to improve other types of robots
B. are most active in industrial revolution
C. are playing a more important role than other types of robots【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
D. are the tallest type among robots
2. It seems that home robots are _______________.
A. more widely used than factory robots
B. less common than factory robots
C. capable of doing any kind of housework
D. free from making mistakes while performing (执行) duties
3. Robots may deal with information that humans can't. Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons?
A. They do not have so many limits as humans do.
B. They have man-made brains.
C. They may be equipped with a special kind of sensing device.
D. They handle information by using zeroes and ones.
4. The development of robots suggests that _______________.
A. science and technology are developing fast
B. people are interested in new inventions
C. machines are more capable than humans
D. robots can be very interesting
5. According to this passage, present home robots _______________.
A. are better than human in seeing and hearing
B. are as capable as those in Star Wars
C. can pick up objects more quickly than humans
D. sometimes perform wrong actions

The Reading Machine for the Blind盲人阅读器
Computers can solve difficult problems and control the machine which is not simple. Many people use small computers called calculators to add, minus, multiply and divide numbers quickly. Scientists use large computers to solve many problems at the same time. You can play games with computers, and some computers can help you learn languages. The reading machine is a special kind of computer. It can read books for blind people.
This machine is made of three sections: a scanner, a computer
and a voice synthesizer (音响合成器). These three parts are like your eyes, your brain, and your voice. The scanner is the “eye" of the machine. It scans, or looks at the words on the page of a book and changes them into signals. These signals then go into the computer, the “brain" of the machine. The computer analyzes the signals and recognizes the words and then sends information about the words to the voice synthesizer. The voice synthesizer makes the sounds of the words.
To use the machine, a blind person simply opens the book and puts its face down on the scanner. The machine “reads" the words on the page. When one page is finished, the blind person turns the page and puts the book on the scanner again. The reading machine can read in a standard voice or in a special fast voice. It can read words with small letters, large letters, or italics.21教育网
1. The underlined word "divide" in the first paragraph means "_______________” in Chinese.
A. 划分 B. 分享 C. 隔开 D. 除
2. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. We can use computers to play games.
B. Computers can help us learn languages.
C. Computers can't solve many problems at the same time.
D. Computers can solve many difficult problems at the same time.
3. Why can the blind use computers?
A. Because computers can read books for them.
B. Because computers can change the words into signals.
C. Because computers can analyze the signals and recognize them.
D. A, B and C.
4. How many sections does the reading machine have?
A. Two parts. B. Three parts. C. One part. D. Four parts.
5. How can a blind person "read" the book?
A. He reads the book himself.
B. He doesn't open the book himself.
C. The machine can't read the words in the book.
D. He simply opens the book and puts its face down on the scanner.

Are You an Only Child? 你是独生子女吗？
Being an only child
Many of us have no sisters or brothers, and so are our parents' only children. Some of us are even the only grandchildren that our grandparents have. Even though that means that we are somewhat unlucky because we don't have any brothers or sisters to play with, we are also lucky. Since we are the only children in our family, all of our parents' love must go to us！
Becoming selfish
Our parents spend lots of time, energy and money making us happy. Sure, they may not always give us exactly what we want, but they do try pretty hard. It might seem only natural that we get used to having people always doing lots of things for us. People care about us whether or not we pay attention to their needs. Whether it is by our parents or our grandparents, we are always treated very well.
Breaking free of our selfishness
Even though our parents are always treating us well, that doesn't mean that we don't need to treat others well, too. We need to do our best to show our parents and our grandparents, as well as our friends and neighbors, that we really do appreciate (感激) them. We should learn to care about their feelings and show them the same respect that they give us.
1. The passage mainly tells us _______________ according to the passage.
A. how to give respect to our parents
B. how to be an only good child in the family
C. how to spend money parents give us
D. how to become a selfish child in the family
2. We are not lucky because _______________.
A. we are our parents' only children
B. we don't just want what we need
C. we don't have children to play with
D. we often fight with each other
3. The underlined words "pay attention to" in Paragraph Two mean "_______________" in Chinese.
A. 满足 B. 关心 C. 注意 D. 喜欢

Extreme Heat May Be the Nature's Deadliest Killer
极度的热可能成为自然界最致命的杀手
Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world. Hot weather can not only make people feel hot, but also cause serious health problems-even death. Floods, storms and other natural events kill thousands of people every year. So does extreme heat. Experts say heat may be nature's deadliest killer.
For example, extreme heat killed more than one hundred people in India and Pakistan in 2007. Daytime temperatures rose to more than 45℃ in some areas. On June 11th, the temperature in one town hit 51℃.
Experts say the total heat of a hot day or several days can affect health. Several hot days are considered a heat wave. Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature. They cause great stress on the human body.
Doctors say people can do many things to protect themselves from the dangers of extreme heat. Stay out of the sun if possible. Wear a hat or other head coverings when in the sun. Wear light-colored clothing made of natural materials. Eat fewer hot and heavy foods. Also, rest more often because physical activities produce body heat.
Experts say it is especially important to drink before, during and after exercise. In hot weather, drinking cool liquids (液体) is best. At the same time, experts also advise us against drinking sweet liquids, tea or coffee in hot weather.
请根据材料内容，用正确的信息填空，每空词数不限。
1. Many natural events, especially extreme heat, kill ______________________________ people every year.
2. Experts say heat waves often become dangerous and ______________________________ on human body.
3. Doctors suggest that people should stay out of the sun and wear ____________________________ clothing in hot weather.

The Lack of Right Male Role Models
男性主导作用的缺失
Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同龄人) group.21*cnjy*com
The lack of right male role models in many of their lives -- at home and particularly in the school environment --means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don't see men succeeding in society so it doesn't occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child's peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It's useless to send a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems -- somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
1. Why did Tom give up studying?
A. He disliked his teachers.
B. His parents no longer supported him.
C. It's cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
2. What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A. Peer groups. B. A special unit.
C. The student judges. D. The home environment.
3. What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?
A. Wait for their change patiently.
B. Train leaders of their peer groups.
C. Stop the development of street culture.
D. Give them lessons in a separate area.
4. A teacher's work is most effective with a schoolboy when he _______________.
A. is with the boy alone
B. teaches the boy a lesson
C. sends the boy home as punishment
D. works together with another teacher

Antarctic Cod南极鳕鱼
Far from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.
For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.
Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish's blood and measured its freezing point.
The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05℃. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.
The scientists' next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish's blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When Lt was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.
Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content. It is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein. Or AFGP.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic.
B. A special fish living in freezing waters.
C. The ice shelf around Antarctica.
D. Protection of the Antarctic cod.
