In our daily life, robots are often found to do work that is too dangerous, boring, difficult, or dirty. And we often see kids play with toy robots.
But what exactly is a robot? There are some important characteristics ( 特征) that a robot

must have. These characteristics might help you to decide what is and what is not a robot. They will also help you to decide what you will need to build into a machine before it can be considered as a robot. A robot has these important characteristics (特征):
Sensing

First of all, your robot would have to be able to sense the environment around it. It should have the following sensors (传感器): light sensors (eyes), touch sensors (hands), chemical sensors (nose), hearing sensors (ears) and taste sensors (tongue).

Movement

A robot needs to be able to move around its environment. It can move on wheels, walk on legs or be driven by small engines. A robot can move either the whole body or just parts of it.
Energy

A robot needs to be able to power itself. Some robots might power itself with sunlight, some might with electricity, while others with the battery ( 电池). The way your robot gets its energy will depend on what your robot needs to do.
Intelligence

A robot needs some kind of “smarts”. A programmer is the person who gives the robot its “smarts”. The robot will have to have a certain way to receive the program so that it knows what to do.
45. According to paragraph 1, what can robots do for people?

A. Robots can teach children. B．Robots can learn by themselves. C．Robots can join in competitions. D．Robots can do some unpleasant work.
46. What can the chemical sensors help a robot to do?

A. They can help robots to see. B．They can help robots to hear. C．They can help robots to smell. D．They can help robots to catch things.
47. In how many ways can a robot power itself according to paragraph 5?

A. Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.

48. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage?

B. To describe the movement of a robot.

C. To tell what a robot can do in our life.

“Life is speeding up. Everyone is becoming unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unwell person who lived in ancient Rome wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But is it true that having all these developments really improves the quality (质量) of our lives.
Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone

rings. A message from your friend appears on the screen. The noise from the telephone is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up (熬夜) all night to get it done.
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often make us feel stressed and tired.

Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps that is because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions that we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons, Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a fashionable (时尚的) granny to one who cooked things.
49. Who was the quote (引语) in paragraph 1 written by?
A. The old granny. B．The unwell writer.

C．An ancient Roman. D．A creative inventor.

50. What does the writer want to tell us in paragraph 3?

A. New inventions can bring us some troubles.

B. New inventions can help us work more efficiently.

C. New inventions can improve the quality of our lives.

D. New inventions can make people feel relaxed while working.

51. Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house in paragraph 5?

A. Because they loved to live simple lives.

B. Because they were troubled by modern inventions.

C. Because they all enjoyed by modern inventions.

D. Because they wanted to experience life without modern inventions.

52. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The history of technology.

B. Problems caused by technology.

C. The development of the new inventions.

D. How the telephone improves our life.

When you walk in a Chinese city early in the morning, you’re likely to see groups of people exercising in the park. You’ll see them moving through a series of slow graceful movements. As their bodies flow from one exercise to the next, their minds are focused only on their deep, relaxed breathing.
Tai chi is part of national cultural heritage (遗产) which Chinese people take pride in. This

ancient mind-body exercise is known as tai chi, and you don’t have to live in China to benefit from it. According to a survey in 2007, more than 2 million Americans are currently practicing tai chi.
Tai chi is called a mind-body type of exercise because it combines meditation ( 冥想 ),

focused breathing, and physical movement. Because it’s also a low-impact (低强度的) exercise, it may be particularly suitable for older adults, but it’s a helpful exercise for people of all ages.
Tai chi developed in China as a type of Wushu. Today tai chi is used to develop fitness, meditation, balance, breathing, and well-being.
If tai chi is something you might like to try, look for a tai chi class near you. Keep in mind that training programs are different in many ways. You might want to ask around for a recommendation or try a class before you sign up. Ask some tai chi instructors about their training and experience.
Tai chi is generally considered a low-risk exercise that is both safe and enjoyable. If you have any physical or medical problems, talk with your health care provider before starting any exercise program. And remember, although tai chi has many advantages, it can’t take the place of regular medical care.
53. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1?
A. To describe a scene. B．To introduce the topic.

C．To summarize the text. D．To guide the readers around the city.

54. What can we know from paragraph 2?

A. Some foreigners are interested in tai chi.

B. Tai chi makes people happy, wise and energetic.

C. Chinese people don’t take tai chi seriously now.

D. Tai chi was considered a way to lengthen one’s life.

55. What is the best title of this passage?

A．Different Schools of Tai Chi around the World B．Tai Chi—a National Heritage and Wonderful Exercise
C．The Origin and Forms of Tai Chi

D．The Advantages and Disadvantages of Practicing Tai Chi for the old

September 20th is National Teeth-loving Day in China. 56 When your new teeth

begin to grow and the old teeth haven’t fallen out, there isn’t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth (不整齐的牙齿).
Some people have teeth that are out of place. They are hard to clean and more likely to get

catties (虫牙). 57 They also make trouble for you when you chew, talk or smile.

Don’t worry. 58 Braces (牙套) work little by little on these teeth. After some time,

the teeth will go back to the right place.

Traditional braces are small metal pieces on teeth. They help people get straight teeth.

59 Brushing teeth becomes difficult. You have to brush them more often. If you

don’t, food leaves on your braces and people will see what you have eaten. 60

But after all this trouble, you’ll have beautiful, straight teeth.

A. Sometimes they cause pain.

B. Wearing braces might solve your problem.

C
