Earthquake rescue(救援) robots(机器人) experienced their final tests in Beijing. The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This kind of robot is able to fly. It's about three metres long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake.
Dr Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, “The most important character of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a control from faraway places. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 30,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour.”
This robot has a different function——it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The camera, also acting as a detector(探测器) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark. With its 10-metre-long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen(氧气) and water.
Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.
( )1. In what way is the robot different from others according to Dr Qi
A.It has a very special shape.
B. It is able to fly everywhere.
C. It works with no information set in.
D. I t doesn't need a fara way control.
( )2. Which is the function of the camera in the robot
A. Detecting trapped people. B. Dealing with harmful gases.
C. Providing oxygen and water. D. Sending goods to the quake area.
( )3. Which of the following is TRUE about the robot
A. It weighs about 30 kilos. B. It has not been put into use.
C. It works only in the daytime. D. It entered production years ago.
( )4. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Earthquake rescue. B. The development of robots.
C. Tests on a new robot. D. An introduction to a new robot.
六、任务型阅读。
On a snowy Saturday last year, Dalton Anderson was having a great time. He was skiing with his friends Payton Weber and Wyatt Baird. Suddenly, the snow around them began to slide(滑落).It was an avalanche(雪崩)!
“A lot of snow came down,”Dalton,13, said later. The snow crashed into Dalton and pushed him around. Payton's body was almost under the snow. He could breathe but couldn't move.Wyatt’s head was below two feet of the snow and one of his feet was above the snow.
Only Dalton was above the snow. He learned about avalanches from a TV show, so he knew that there was no time to ask for help. Wyatt could die in minutes.
By using his hands, Dalton made Payton free first. Payton had a cellphone. He called 911, and the two boys made Wyatt out.
The boys were smart and lucky. Many people who were in avalanches died. Avalanches happen on mountainsides. In about five seconds, an avalanche can reach nearly 100 miles per hour.Nobody can run or ski that fast. It's almost impossible to get out of the way.
An avalanche collects snow as it travels. A large one can grow to 10,000 tons of snow. So much snow will make everything, including trees, houses and of course, people, fall in its path as it races downhill.
根据上面短文内容，回答下列问题(每个小题答案不超过6个单词)。
1. What was Dalton doing when the avalanche happened
2. Where did Dalton learn about avalanches
3. What did Dalton do first after the avalanche
4. Where do avalanches happen
5. What do you think of the three boys in the story
七、阅读填空。
For several years, Americans enjoy teleshopping---watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (欧洲). Tele-shopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kind of things on TV, so in one year it makes $100 million.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed (允许) more teleshopping. Other channels can open far telebusiness, including tele-shopping companies. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it helps them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With the heavy traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping "Junk (垃圾) on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. And they have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can not see by themselves.
1.Teleshopping means ________________. It starts ____________ in America than in Europe.
2. In one year, the biggest Swedish company makes ______because of __________on TV.
3. The German government allowed _____ because it will be helpful for German businesses to______.
4. Some people like teleshopping because the traffic in cities is ____________________, but they don’t have to _____________________ to do some shopping.
5. The quality of things for sale on TV ______________ many Europeans. So many companies have to ________________ to sell the things that the buyers can’t see by themselves.
