Claude Sammut, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia, said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.
For many years, Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup, where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.
As he explains, the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own, but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney, who is one of the best football players in the world.
Mr Sammut also said,“In 1968, John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy, who was then the chess champion in Scotland, that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him. It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came into being.”
“In the same spirit of a grand challenge, RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050. To achieve this, or come even closer to the ambition, the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments. This will require major advances in perception(感知), decision making, learning, and cooperative behaviors. Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems, great advances will also be needed in sensors (传感器) , energy storage, and materials.”
1.The RoboCup is aimed to develop robots that know how to ________.
A.play computer football games
B.play football and win in real matches
C.understand the rules of the football game
D.improve the skills of real football playershttp://ww w.xkb1. com
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第二段“...where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.”可知应选B。
2.What kind of difficulties are the robots facing in playing football?
A.They can't run as fast as real people.
B.They can't recognize their partners accurately.
C.They can't control the ball well by themselves.
D.They can't pass the ball to their partners.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第三段“...the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own...”可知应选C。
3.The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth ________.
A.in 1968 B.in 1978
C.in the 1990s D.30 years ago
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第四段“In 1968,John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy, who was then the chess champion in Scotland...”可知应选A。
4.What's the best title for this passage?
A.Scientists' Wisdom in Designing Robot Football Players
B.Robot Football Players to Beat the World's Best Team by 2050
C.Robot Football Players' Bright Future
D.Mr Sammut—the Father of Robot Football Players
答案:B 主旨大意题。文章主要讲的是机器人足球队在2050年可能会打败人类最好的足球队,故B项能体现文章的大意。

TOKYO—If you grow old in Japan, you may expect to be served food by a robot, ride a voicerecognition wheelchair or even possibly hire a nurse in a robotic suit—all examples of cuttingedge technology to care for the country's rapidly graying population.
With nearly 22 percent of Japan's population already aged 65 or older, businesses here have been rolling out everything from easyentry cars to remotecontrolled beds, fueling a caretechnology market worth some $1. 08 billion in 2006, according to industry figures.
At a home care and rehabilitation(恢复) convention in Tokyo this week, buyers crowded round a demonstration of Secom Co. 's My Spoon feeding robot, which helps elderly or disabled people eat with a spoon and a fitted swiveling(转动的) arm.
Operating a joystick (操纵杆) with his chin, developer Shigehisa Kobayashi maneuvered the arm toward a block of soft tofu, deftly (灵巧地) getting the fork to break off a piece. The arm then returned to a preprogrammed position in front of the mouth, allowing Kobayashi to bite and swallow.
“It's all about empowering people to help themselves,”Kobayashi said. The Tokyobased company has already sold 300 of the robots,which come with a price tag of $ 3,500.“We want to give the elderly control over their own lives,”he said.
The rapidly aging population here has spurred a spate of concerns: a labour shortage, tax falls, financial difficulties in paying the health bills and pensions of large numbers of the elderly.
Moreover, a breakdown of family ties in recent years means a growing number of older Japanese are spending their golden years away from the care traditionally provided by children and grandchildren.
That's where cuttingedge technology steps in.
5.Shigehisa Kobayashi is the name of ________.
A.an elderly patient
B.a robot
C.the developer of the robot
D.the head of a company
答案:C 细节理解题。从文章第四段可知,这是机器人的研发者。
6.The underlined word “maneuvered” in the fourth paragraph probably means “________”.
A.moved skillfully B.turned carefully
C.lifted with effort D.fixed quickly
答案:A 词义猜测题。从第四段对这一机器人的描述可知,因为它是专门喂老年人和残疾人食物的机器人,因此机器臂要能转动自如才行。
7.My Spoon feeding robot is specially designed for ________.
A.those aged 55 or older
B.those who have difficulty in feeding themselves
C.those who have lost the ability of eating
D.those who can move their arms freely
答案:B 推理判断题。由第三段可知,这个机器人是为帮助吃饭有困难的人专门设计的。
8.With the special robots, the elderly in Japan can ________.
A.put their lives under the control of the robots
B.help themselves
C.save a lot of money for the government
D.have their medical bills reduced
答案:B 推理判断题。文章倒数第四段有说明“It's all about empowering people to help themselves...”。

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water:we don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here 's how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
1.________ Often neighbors don't even know each other's names. But it's okay to be the one to break the ice, even if you've lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they're babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.
2.________ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they're far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing freshbaked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and shop. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say goodbye.
3.________ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you've finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talkingand the talk will be good. 新|课 |标 |第 | 一| 网
4.________ If you value a friendly relationship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a gettogether in their honor. Belive the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.
5.________ In a good relationship, it's really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you're truly concerned, you'll know when your neighbor needs some cheering upa bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it's needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.
A.Be a good listener.
B.Care about the details.
C.Strike up a conversation.
D.Make time for friendships.
E.Reach out to the newcomers.
F.Avoid causing inconveniences
文章大意:本文为一篇说明文 ,主要介绍如何跟邻居好好相处。
答案:
1.C 由本段后面的信息“But it's okay to be the one to break the ice”可知,该段小标题是:Strike up the conversation,“开始交谈”。
2.E 本部分的new neighbors 以及后面你可以为新邻居干的事情,可知,要主动接近新来的,故E项正确。
3.F 本段介绍要借的邻居的东西,你的车不要挡道等,这表示不要给别人带来不便,故F项正确。
4.D 本段第二句话就给了很好的提示:If you value a friendly relationships with your neighbors,spend time with them,故选D项:花点时间交朋友。
5.B 本段主要介绍跟邻居相处时要注重细节。因为“it's really the little thing that count.”。
