As they passed the cookie section, the child asked for chocolate and her mother told her “no.” The little girl immediately began to get upset, and the m

19、other remarked quietly, “Now Tina, we just have half of the aisles(通道) left to go through; dont be upset. It wont be long.”He passed the Mother again in the candy aisle. Of course, the little girl began to shout for candy. When she was told she couldnt have any, she began to cry. The mother said, “T

20、here, there, Tina. Only a little bit longer, and then well be checking out.”The man again happened to be behind the pair at the check-out, where the little girl immediately began to cry for a gum(橡皮糖) and burst into a terrible anger upon discovering there would be no gum purchased today. The mother

Ready for takeoff, it raises

24、 its wings, springs into the air and flaps away. This series of actions is so common that you probably do not pay it much attention. But University of Manchester bioinechanical engineer Ben Parslew does. He is trying to design robots that can jump like birds.Most conventional robots roll around on w

25、heels, limiting mobility. There is a need for more agile robots that can jump over obstacles in messy environments, Parslew says. To design such a machine, he turned to nature: Birds are really good jumpers, he notes.The trouble is, when birds start to take off, they lean so far forward that they sh

26、ould tip over and fall onto their beaks(喙). Yet that does not happen. Parslew and his team used computer modeling to discover how birds avoid this fate. They discovered that birds twist their bodies slightly towards the back while accelerating into a jump. They also have flexible legs and toe joints

27、, which prevent them from taking off briefly and immediately crashing into the ground. The result were published last October in Royal Society Open Science.Parslew thinks engineers can use this information to design robots that can not only jump well but also launch into flight more. efficiently. Un

28、iversity of Southern California biomechanist Michael Habib, who was not involved in the study, says springs and levers(杠桿)enable more rapid acceleration-than wheels do. And many animals are masters of springs and levers.“If you can understand how that works,”Habib adds, “you can build a robot thats

29、good at running around and good at flying, and it will also be good at taking off suddenly in all kinds of conditions and landing on a dime.”Parslew is now designing such a robot, as an alternative to wheeled rovers for exploring other planets.1、What is right about the dove mentioned in Paragraph 1?

31、pt to complex environments.3、How does a bird avoid falling when taking off?ABy getting rid of gravity.BBy flapping its wings hard.CBy spinning its body backward.DBy jumping into the air quickly.4、What is the main idea of the text?ABirds provide inspiration. for humans.BNew robots that can jump have

32、been created.CThe development of robots benefits space exploreDStudying birds jumping helps scientist build better robots.24（8分） Weve heard of robots and AI（Artificial Intelligence）taking human jobs, but I bet mayors（市長）dont really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, a

33、nd the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.AI cant legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campa

34、ign （競選運動） as “AI Mayor”. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,” human candidate Michihito Matsuda announce

35、d on Twitter. “Artificial Intelligence will change Toma City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out（大聲鳴響）promises of an AI utopia

36、（烏托邦）and asking for support.Some people called Michihito Matsudas campaign a stunt （噱頭）, as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.1、Whats the adva

37、ntage of the AI mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?AMaximizing the use of AI.BReplacing human officials.CCreating balanced policies.DBringing him beneficial effects.2、How will AI run for the mayor?AIt will abolish many old policies.BIt will ask for support on the Internet.CIt will make public spee

38、ches, dressed like a human.DIt will compete similarly to human competitors.3、Whats the citizens attitude toward Michihito Matsudas campaign?AThey believe AI will win.BAll consider it to be tricky.CIt is supposed to be a failure definitely.DSome think its worthy of expectation.4、What is the best titl

39、e for the passage?AAI Runs for the Mayor.BThe Advantages of AI.CAI Replaces Human in Management.DThe Patterns of AI Management.25（10分）Let me introduce myself: I am the last man in America who has time. If you should run into me on the street, I will have time to chat with you. If you invite me for t

40、ea, I will seize the opportunity and enjoy a cup. But it seems nobody else has time like me.When did people become so busy? Sometimes I think it happened when shopping, instead of being a necessity or occasional pleasure, became a form of entertainment. At other times I blame it on the computer, wit

41、h honorary mention given to “smart” phones, for creating appetites (欲望) that can never be satisfied, no matter how long we stare at the movable feast on the screen, no matter how fast we type with our fingers.It wasnt always like this.Sundays used to be days of rest, with closed stores and empty hig

42、hways. And then there were the holidays, which were set aside for family time rather than a trip to the mall.But now, I have grown accustomed to the predictability of the answer when I run into a friend or acquaintance and ask, “How are you?” The answer always is “Busy!”Recently I spotted an old fri

He stopped to acknowledge me, but I could tell from his, body language and the checking of his watch that I had disturbed him. “I see youre in a hurry,” I said. “Why dont we get together to catch up?” “I should have a free hour in June,” he said before continuing on his

44、way.“But this is March!” I remarked.“Check with me in a few months,” he yelled over his shoulder. “I m very busy!”Maybe not getting used to the busy life is my problem, but I agree with what Socrates once said: “Beware (當心) the barrenness (空洞) of a busy life.” Or Robert Frosts poem? “I Could Give Al

45、l to Time.” More recently there has been a so-called Slow Movement, which advocates a cultural change toward slowing down lifes pace. I havent decided whether to join it or not because I fear that, like any organization, it would cost me too much time.In any case, come June. Ill have a friend to cat
