Best Humanoid Robots: Exploring the Cutting Edge
AMECA-ENGINEERED ARTS
When judged by its realism and ability to interact socially, Ameca is the clear leader. Known for incredibly lifelike facial expressions, Ameca is designed for human engagement, not heavy lifting. It’s ideal for customer-facing roles in museums, events, or research-but lacks mobility and autonomous operation for now.
Strengths: Best expressive and conversational humanoid
Weaknesses: Not mobile; mainly for interaction and R&D
ELECTRIC ATLAS-BOSTON DYNAMICS
The newly redesigned Atlas is now fully electric and preparing for real-world deployment in Hyundai’s production lines. Known for decades of robotics R&D, Boston Dynamics brings unmatched mechanical mobility and dynamic movement to Atlas, though autonomy and manipulation (操作) still fall behind in some areas.
Strengths: Excellent motion and balance, deep engineering expertise
Weaknesses: Limited production capacity, still developing manipulation tasks
DIGIT-AGILITY ROBOTICS
Digit by agility Robotics is built with logistics (物流) and warehouse use in mind. It has already seen real deployments for package movement and basic warehouse tasks. Amazon is reportedly testing Digit for delivery and distribution center assistance.
Strengths: Functional, multi-purpose for logistics
Weaknesses: Less “human-like”; limited social interaction design
TIEN KUNG ULTRA-NOETIX
Noetix made waves with its “Tien Kung Ultra” robot completing a humanoid half-marathon, showcasing durability and mechanical refinement. This 1.75 m/45 kg robot excels in extreme environment, with applications in disaster response and space exploration.
Strengths: Large-scale production, innovation in dexterity (机敏)
Weaknesses: Limited Western deployment; unclear autonomy levels
21. What makes Ameca stand out
A. Distribution assistance. B. Environmental adaptation.
C. Social engagement. D. Mechanical mobility.
22. What do we know about Digit by agility Robotics
A. It has been widely used for delivery services. B. It needs improvement in human-likeness.
C. It is designed for use on all occasions. D. It is noted for its lightness and balance.
23. Which robot has been entered for a sports event
A. Tien Kung Ultra. B. Atlas. C. Digit. D. Ameca.

The one lesson I took from my core experience was the importance of building relationships with our students. Relationships that are meaningful and personal really allow the children to grow well and to become themselves.
It’s something that I continue to use in my KIPP experience today. I stay close to kids. I like to hear their voices, their opinions, what’s going well, what’s not, and what their goals are, so we can build the program around them.
If I go back to my Teach For America (TFA) experience, there’s one student who really highlighted for me the importance of building relationships. His name is Jose. He had never gotten above a C on anything. And what I realized was that by building a strong relationship with him, he gained the confidence and the courage to try things differently, to take risks, to really dive into learning and to share with me that he couldn’t read, so I was able to teach him to read, he and I both working on it together. And for the first time ever, he got an A on an assignment. And I think it really changed his confidence and his desire to perform and to have a different outcome in his life.
When I applied for TFA, I had every intent to teach for two years and then go back to Graduate School and become a psychologist. But in my first month of teaching, I got hooked. And I realized that I couldn’t leave. And for so many of the TFA alumni (校友) that I know who are still in education, most of us could have had a different career path when we graduated from college. And we realized very quickly that we just couldn’t leave and that we had to do everything we could to change outcomes for children in the communities that we served.
24. What does the author attach importance to in her KIPP experience
A. Helping the students set clearer goals. B. Bringing discipline to the students’ life.
C. Letting the students gain high scores. D. Building good relationships with the students.
25. What is Jose’s case used to indicate in the text
A. Relationships can transform learning. B. Top students are influential in the class.
C. Good grades failed to boost students’ confidence. D. Psychology has to do with one’s academic success.
26. How did most of the author’s TFA alumni end up
A. They left education unwillingly. B. They chose to stay in education.
C. They became psychologists. D. They took different career paths.
27. What does the underlined phrase “got hooked” mean in the last paragraph
A. Lost interest. B. Suffered a defeat. C. Was attracted. D. Made slow progress.
C
Art can have a positive effect on our mood. But does this also work when we look at paintings on a screen An international research team involving the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA) in Frankfurt decided to look into this question.
240 study participants viewed an interactive Monet Water Lily art exhibition from Google Arts and Culture. By filling out a questionnaire (问卷), they provided information about their state of mind, how much pleasure they felt when looking at the pictures, and how meaningful they considered the experience to be. The results showed significant improvements in mood and anxiety after just a few minutes of viewing.
“Online art viewing is an unrevealed source of support for well-being that can be consumed as bite-sized bits of meaning-making and pleasure,” says McKenzie Trupp, first author from the University of Vienna.
The study also found that some participants were more receptive to art than others and were able to benefit more. This advantage could be predicted using a method called “aesthetic (美学的) responsiveness (ARe).” “Aesthetic responsiveness describes how people react to diverse aesthetic stimuli (刺激), like art and nature. The results showed that individuals with high levels of art and aesthetic responsiveness benefited more from online art viewing due to having more pleasurable and meaningful art experience,” explains Edward A. Vessel of MPIEA, developer of the Aesthetic Responsiveness Assessment.
The findings of this study are particularly interesting for people who are unable to visit museums in person, such as those with health problems. Furthermore, the results suggest that interactive art exhibitions and similar online experiences should be designed with an awareness of individual differences in aesthetic responsiveness. The study thus expands insight into the benefits and limitations of art in digital media and points the way for increasing the wellness potential of online art.
28. What were the participants asked to do in the study
A. Describe their personal experiences in detail.
B. Interact with some well-known artists online.
C. Appreciate some famous works of art in a museum.
D. Report their instant feelings after viewing art pieces.
29. What does McKenzie imply in paragraph 3
A. Art works can be appreciated by different cultures.
B. It makes sense to gather support for art exhibitions.
C. We can enjoy art works in the same way we digest food.
D. The benefit of online art viewing has yet to be explored.
30. How did people with higher levels of art react to online art works according to Edward
A. They easily got bored. B. They felt very pleased.
C. They soon fell asleep. D. They calmed down quickly.
31. Who may benefit most from the findings of the study
A. Digital media designers. B. Monet’s foreign followers.
C. Disabled museum enthusiasts. D. Antique art purchasers.
D
A behavioral analysis of nearly 600 bird species suggests that light pollution from human development can lengthen the time birds spend singing by nearly an hour per day.
The significant extension took the researchers by surprise. “While we expected some behavioral adjustment to the lights at night, we didn’t anticipate that it would be this impactful,” says Neil Gilbert, an ecologist at Oklahoma State University.
Gilbert and Brent Pease, a wildlife ecologist at Southern Illinois University, wanted to know about light pollution’s effects on birds on a much larger scale. The researchers used data from Bird Weather, a global citizen science project. Volunteers use audio sensors to record bird sounds that machine learning then analyzes to identify the species making each sound. After filtering (筛选) the dataset for 4.4 million calls, the team studied the daily start and end times of the singing activity of 583 bird species, comparing those times and the local light pollution levels.
In the brightest places, birds extended their singing time by an average of 50 minutes compared with the darkest — by 18 minutes in the morning and 32 minutes in the evening. The effect was particularly strong among bird species with larger eyes, such as a killdeer, possibly because they’re more sensitive to light overall. The effect was also greater during the breeding (繁殖) season, possibly because this is when birds naturally start singing earlier in what are normally darker morning hours. If they live in light-polluted areas, streetlamps and artificial light in the early morning might fool them into thinking it’s later than it is, further encouraging them to sing earlier.
It’s still unclear whether the extended singing is harmful to birds. It might disturb their sleep, though they might balance by sleeping during the day, Gilbert says.
For Pease, the findings help illustrate just how extensive even passive influences from humanity are upon wildlife. “Our lights, which we cast more or less mindlessly into the night, are having widespread and often subtle (微妙的) effects on all the lives of animals around us.”
32. What’s the original source of the data in the researchers’ study
A. Bird sounds from laboratory settings. B. Bird sounds from historical records.
C. Bird sounds in their natural habitats. D. Bird sounds made by machine learning.
33. How do birds normally behave during the breeding season
A. They start singing earlier than usual. B. They choose to nest in darker places.
C. They tend to wake up more often. D. They prefer to sing less than usual.
34. What does Pease suggest about human lights in the last paragraph
A. Their existence poses ongoing health risks to humans.
B. They have broad yet subtle effects on all animals.
C. They benefit birds by extending their singing time.
D. Their impact on animals is minimal and controllable.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Artificial Light Has Lengthened Birds’ Sleep B. Birds Work Longer During Breeding Seasons
C. Bird Species Are Declining Due to Pollution D. Light Pollution Makes Birds Sing Overtime

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Severe floods are becoming more and more common around the world. ___36___, but could the way that cities are growing be making things worse Could we design cities in a different way to reduce the risk of flooding
As cities expand and more and more land is underneath concrete, less water is absorbed and more needs to be channelled away by storm drains and sewage (污水) systems. As they become overwhelmed by the volume of water, the risk of flash flooding increases.
___37___ Chinese landscape architect Yu Kongjian certainly thinks so. In 2013, he proposed the concept of ‘sponge (海绵) cities’, which are designed to absorb water like a sponge, reducing the risk of sudden floods. Natural solutions are encouraged, using riverside parks and ponds to absorb floodwater. ___38___. Auckland, in New Zealand, was named the spongiest city in one study. It has replaced the concrete culverts (涵洞) around the Oakley creek stream with green banks and connected parks. This has reduced flooding in the nearby residential areas as well as the number of associated pollutants which used to be washed into the sea.
What Auckland has taken is only a natural approach. ___39___, In Amsterdam, the Netherlands’ capital city, people have fixed blue-green roofs on a number of buildings. These roofs have a layer of plants on the outside, and then layers underneath which collect and store rainwater. This water can be used by people in the building below to water plants or clean toilets. Advanced software can even tell the roofs to release water ahead of upcoming storms to maximize the system’s ability to absorb rainwater. ___40___.
A. A system like that does actually work
B. The warming climate is leading to heavier rainfall
C. Could it be that we’ve been taking the wrong approach
D. But a much more high-tech method has already been applied
E. Approaches inspired by this have been taken by cities across the world
F. Is the natural approach sufficient when we’re faced with increased rainfall
G. It can even identify the city’s risky areas and tailor the response accordingly

67. 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。
Of all the memories that shape my life, the one that shines brightest is the memory of my first adventure. It feels as if it happened just yesterday. The fresh morning air, the weight of our overstuffed backpacks, and the nervous excitement of my friends-Mark, Sarah, and Jake-have been deeply carved in my mind. We were four first-year college students with a grand plan: to spend our spring break hiking a challenging section of the Appalachian Trail.
The first two days were wonderful. We laughed, sang, and wondered at the breathtaking views from the mountain peaks. Our evenings were spent sharing stories around a campfire, the flames dancing in our eyes, forming a bond that felt unbreakable.
But on the third day, the adventure took a sharp turn. The sky, once a brilliant blue, turned dark and threatening. A cold, constant rain began to fall, turning the path into a river of mud. All of us were wet through and our spirits were affected by our wet clothes. But the worst was yet to come. As we carefully walked down a particularly steep and rocky section, Sarah, who was the smallest of our group, lost her footing on the mud. She let out a sharp cry and landed heavily on her ankle.
We anxiously gathered around her. Sarah was in great pain, and her ankle was already swelling (肿胀). We were miles from the nearest road, with no cell service, and a violent storm happening above us. This was no longer a fun hike; it was a crisis.
Looking at each other’s worried faces, we made a silent decision. We were a team, with Jake serving as our doctor. He carefully stabilized Sarah’s ankle with a bandage (绷带). Mark, the strongest, shouldered the stuff of Sarah’s pack onto his own, bending his back under the enormous weight but refusing to complain. I took point, using our now-wet map to identify the nearest potential shelter-a ranger (护林员) station marked about three miles ahead.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The journey there was the longest three miles of our lives.

【原文】M: Hi, I’m so glad I run into you here today. I have lots of questions to talk to you.
W: What questions
M: You took an English class by Professor Sanford, didn’t you
W: I sure did
M: Well. I’m thinking about taking her Basics in English class next semester. What’s your opinion
W: The class was interesting enough, but Professor Sanford is a very strict teacher I have ever met. She expects too much from her students. So, if you plan to take the course, prepare to work hard. She’s an extremely intelligent person.
M: Is she reasonable
W: Yes, she is. She was always available, during and after classes, to help us with any ideas we couldn’t understand. She was always open to different points. I just hated all the readings we had to do in classical literature
M: Well, I happened to like classical literature.
W: Really I was more interested in cultural comparison, and we barely touched that.

The one lesson I took from my core experience was the importance of building relationships with our students. Relationships that are meaningful and personal really allow the children to grow well and to become themselves.
It’s something that I continue to use in my KIPP experience today. I stay close to kids. I like to hear their voices, their opinions, what’s going well, what’s not, and what their goals are, so we can build the program around them.
If I go back to my Teach For America (TFA) experience, there’s one student who really highlighted for me the importance of building relationships. His name is Jose. He had never gotten above a C on anything. And what I realized was that by building a strong relationship with him, he gained the confidence and the courage to try things differently, to take risks, to really dive into learning and to share with me that he couldn’t read, so I was able to teach him to read, he and I both working on it together. And for the first time ever, he got an A on an assignment. And I think it really changed his confidence and his desire to perform and to have a different outcome in his life.
When I applied for TFA, I had every intent to teach for two years and then go back to Graduate School and become a psychologist. But in my first month of teaching, I got hooked. And I realized that I couldn’t leave. And for so many of the TFA alumni (校友) that I know who are still in education, most of us could have had a different career path when we graduated from college. And we realized very quickly that we just couldn’t leave and that we had to do everything we could to change outcomes for children in the communities that we served.
24. What does the author attach importance to in her KIPP experience
A. Helping the students set clearer goals. B. Bringing discipline to the students’ life.
C. Letting the students gain high scores. D. Building good relationships with the students.
25. What is Jose’s case used to indicate in the text
A. Relationships can transform learning. B. Top students are influential in the class.
C. Good grades failed to boost students’ confidence. D. Psychology has to do with one’s academic success.
26. How did most of the author’s TFA alumni end up
A. They left education unwillingly. B. They chose to stay in education.
C. They became psychologists. D. They took different career paths.
27. What does the underlined phrase “got hooked” mean in the last paragraph
A. Lost interest. B. Suffered a defeat. C. Was attracted. D. Made slow progress.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C
C
Art can have a positive effect on our mood. But does this also work when we look at paintings on a screen An international research team involving the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA) in Frankfurt decided to look into this question.
240 study participants viewed an interactive Monet Water Lily art exhibition from Google Arts and Culture. By filling out a questionnaire (问卷), they provided information about their state of mind, how much pleasure they felt when looking at the pictures, and how meaningful they considered the experience to be. The results showed significant improvements in mood and anxiety after just a few minutes of viewing.
“Online art viewing is an unrevealed source of support for well-being that can be consumed as bite-sized bits of meaning-making and pleasure,” says McKenzie Trupp, first author from the University of Vienna.
The study also found that some participants were more receptive to art than others and were able to benefit more. This advantage could be predicted using a method called “aesthetic (美学的) responsiveness (ARe).” “Aesthetic responsiveness describes how people react to diverse aesthetic stimuli (刺激), like art and nature. The results showed that individuals with high levels of art and aesthetic responsiveness benefited more from online art viewing due to having more pleasurable and meaningful art experience,” explains Edward A. Vessel of MPIEA, developer of the Aesthetic Responsiveness Assessment.
The findings of this study are particularly interesting for people who are unable to visit museums in person, such as those with health problems. Furthermore, the results suggest that interactive art exhibitions and similar online experiences should be designed with an awareness of individual differences in aesthetic responsiveness. The study thus expands insight into the benefits and limitations of art in digital media and points the way for increasing the wellness potential of online art.
28. What were the participants asked to do in the study
A. Describe their personal experiences in detail.
B. Interact with some well-known artists online.
C. Appreciate some famous works of art in a museum.
D. Report their instant feelings after viewing art pieces.
29. What does McKenzie imply in paragraph 3
A. Art works can be appreciated by different cultures.
B. It makes sense to gather support for art exhibitions.
C. We can enjoy art works in the same way we digest food.
D. The benefit of online art viewing has yet to be explored.
30. How did people with higher levels of art react to online art works according to Edward
A. They easily got bored. B. They felt very pleased.
C. They soon fell asleep. D. They calmed down quickly.
31. Who may benefit most from the findings of the study
A. Digital media designers. B. Monet’s foreign followers.
C. Disabled museum enthusiasts. D. Antique art purchasers.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. C
D
A behavioral analysis of nearly 600 bird species suggests that light pollution from human development can lengthen the time birds spend singing by nearly an hour per day.
The significant extension took the researchers by surprise. “While we expected some behavioral adjustment to the lights at night, we didn’t anticipate that it would be this impactful,” says Neil Gilbert, an ecologist at Oklahoma State University.
Gilbert and Brent Pease, a wildlife ecologist at Southern Illinois University, wanted to know about light pollution’s effects on birds on a much larger scale. The researchers used data from Bird Weather, a global citizen science project. Volunteers use audio sensors to record bird sounds that machine learning then analyzes to identify the species making each sound. After filtering (筛选) the dataset for 4.4 million calls, the team studied the daily start and end times of the singing activity of 583 bird species, comparing those times and the local light pollution levels.
In the brightest places, birds extended their singing time by an average of 50 minutes compared with the darkest — by 18 minutes in the morning and 32 minutes in the evening. The effect was particularly strong among bird species with larger eyes, such as a killdeer, possibly because they’re more sensitive to light overall. The effect was also greater during the breeding (繁殖) season, possibly because this is when birds naturally start singing earlier in what are normally darker morning hours. If they live in light-polluted areas, streetlamps and artificial light in the early morning might fool them into thinking it’s later than it is, further encouraging them to sing earlier.
It’s still unclear whether the extended singing is harmful to birds. It might disturb their sleep, though they might balance by sleeping during the day, Gilbert says.
For Pease, the findings help illustrate just how extensive even passive influences from humanity are upon wildlife. “Our lights, which we cast more or less mindlessly into the night, are having widespread and often subtle (微妙的) effects on all the lives of animals around us.”
32. What’s the original source of the data in the researchers’ study
A. Bird sounds from laboratory settings. B. Bird sounds from historical records.
C. Bird sounds in their natural habitats. D. Bird sounds made by machine learning.
33. How do birds normally behave during the breeding season
A. They start singing earlier than usual. B. They choose to nest in darker places.
C. They tend to wake up more often. D. They prefer to sing less than usual.
34. What does Pease suggest about human lights in the last paragraph
A. Their existence poses ongoing health risks to humans.
B. They have broad yet subtle effects on all animals.
C. They benefit birds by extending their singing time.
D. Their impact on animals is minimal and controllable.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Artificial Light Has Lengthened Birds’ Sleep B. Birds Work Longer During Breeding Seasons
C. Bird Species Are Declining Due to Pollution D. Light Pollution Makes Birds Sing Overtime
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Severe floods are becoming more and more common around the world. ___36___, but could the way that cities are growing be making things worse Could we design cities in a different way to reduce the risk of flooding
As cities expand and more and more land is underneath concrete, less water is absorbed and more needs to be channelled away by storm drains and sewage (污水) systems. As they become overwhelmed by the volume of water, the risk of flash flooding increases.
___37___ Chinese landscape architect Yu Kongjian certainly thinks so. In 2013, he proposed the concept of ‘sponge (海绵) cities’, which are designed to absorb water like a sponge, reducing the risk of sudden floods. Natural solutions are encouraged, using riverside parks and ponds to absorb floodwater. ___38___. Auckland, in New Zealand, was named the spongiest city in one study. It has replaced the concrete culverts (涵洞) around the Oakley creek stream with green banks and connected parks. This has reduced flooding in the nearby residential areas as well as the number of associated pollutants which used to be washed into the sea.
What Auckland has taken is only a natural approach. ___39___, In Amsterdam, the Netherlands’ capital city, people have fixed blue-green roofs on a number of buildings. These roofs have a layer of plants on the outside, and then layers underneath which collect and store rainwater. This water can be used by people in the building below to water plants or clean toilets. Advanced software can even tell the roofs to release water ahead of upcoming storms to maximize the system’s ability to absorb rainwater. ___40___.
A. A system like that does actually work
B. The warming climate is leading to heavier rainfall
C. Could it be that we’ve been taking the wrong approach
D. But a much more high-tech method has already been applied
E. Approaches inspired by this have been taken by cities across the world
F. Is the natural approach sufficient when we’re faced with increased rainfall
G. It can even identify the city’s risky areas and tailor the response accordingly
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. E 39. D 40. G

67. 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。
Of all the memories that shape my life, the one that shines brightest is the memory of my first adventure. It feels as if it happened just yesterday. The fresh morning air, the weight of our overstuffed backpacks, and the nervous excitement of my friends-Mark, Sarah, and Jake-have been deeply carved in my mind. We were four first-year college students with a grand plan: to spend our spring break hiking a challenging section of the Appalachian Trail.
The first two days were wonderful. We laughed, sang, and wondered at the breathtaking views from the mountain peaks. Our evenings were spent sharing stories around a campfire, the flames dancing in our eyes, forming a bond that felt unbreakable.
But on the third day, the adventure took a sharp turn. The sky, once a brilliant blue, turned dark and threatening. A cold, constant rain began to fall, turning the path into a river of mud. All of us were wet through and our spirits were affected by our wet clothes. But the worst was yet to come. As we carefully walked down a particularly steep and rocky section, Sarah, who was the smallest of our group, lost her footing on the mud. She let out a sharp cry and landed heavily on her ankle.
We anxiously gathered around her. Sarah was in great pain, and her ankle was already swelling (肿胀). We were miles from the nearest road, with no cell service, and a violent storm happening above us. This was no longer a fun hike; it was a crisis.
Looking at each other’s worried faces, we made a silent decision. We were a team, with Jake serving as our doctor. He carefully stabilized Sarah’s ankle with a bandage (绷带). Mark, the strongest, shouldered the stuff of Sarah’s pack onto his own, bending his back under the enormous weight but refusing to complain. I took point, using our now-wet map to identify the nearest potential shelter-a ranger (护林员) station marked about three miles ahead.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The journey there was the longest three miles of our lives.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, we saw the light through the trees.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The journey there was the longest three miles of our lives. We moved at a painstakingly slow pace, supporting Sarah between us and encouraging her with every painful step. We sang silly songs to keep our morale up, our voices shaky but determined. We shared our last pieces of chocolate, finding strength in the simple act of sharing. The steep climbs that had once been challenging now felt like monumental obstacles, but we tackled them as a single unit, pushing and pulling each other upward.
Suddenly, we saw the light through the trees. And we knew it was a ranger station. A wave of relief soon washed over us. Upon seeing us, the ranger immediately tended to Sarah’s wound and offered us warm drinks and dry blankets. Sitting around the wood stove on that stormy night, we kept silent for a long time. The adventure had not gone as planned. But as we looked at each other, we saw something new reflected in our eyes. We saw trust. We saw a bond that had been tested by storm and had become even stronger.
