A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality today with an affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or AI block, is a cube (立方体）that fits

11、 in your hand. That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, its about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibos designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, micropho

It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isnt quite ready for stores yet, though. Its part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfund

13、ing is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO

14、 first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGO product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code block

15、s allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas (画布）of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibos case coding doesnt stop there. Unlike o

16、ther similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you wont lose interest in Artibo.21.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is .A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.p

19、s.C.The more familiar youre with coding, the more youll like Artibo.D.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people.BPinocchio may be just a childrens fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that

20、 our noses dont grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Gmez Miln and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography（体温计）to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose

21、dropped up to 1.2, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5. Scientist also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of

22、the forehead,” Dr. Gmez Miln explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a

23、3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the “Pinocchio effect” temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of succe

24、ss than that of any modern lie detector.“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”, said Dr. Gmez Miln, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.24.Why does the writer talk about Pino

27、 liar.CEveryone knows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases-clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to funct

28、ion, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived(复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientistshavebeenseekingawaytoprolongtheperiodofclinicaldeathsothattheo

When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The monkeys blood pressure decreased and an hour la

At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Ketas hea

After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior diff

36、dapenicillininjection.C.sheregainedhernormalbreath.D.sheactedaslivelyasahealthymonkey.DThe news one day reached Gabriel that Bathsheba had left the neighbourhood. Her abrupt departure is more emphatic than her verbal refusal of his offer. It may have been observed that there is no regular path for g

37、etting out of love as there is for getting in. All that Gabriel learnt of Bathshebas movements was done indirectly. It appeared that she had gone to a place called Weatherbury, which, whether as a visitor or permanently, he could not discover.Gabriel had two dogs. George, the elder, had originally b

38、elonged to a shepherd (牧羊人) of inferior morals and dreadful temper. Long experience had so precisely taught the animal the difference between different orders. Though old, he was clever and trustworthy still. The young dog, Georges son, might possibly have been the image of his mother, for there was

39、 not much resemblance between him and George. He was learning the sheep-keeping business. So earnest and yet so wrongheaded was this young dog that if sent behind he did it so thoroughly that he would have chased them across the whole country with the greatest pleasure if not called off.One night, w

40、hen Gabriel had returned to his house, he called as usual to the dogs, previously shutting them up in the outhouse till next morning. Only one respondedold George; the other could not be found. Gabriel then concluded that the young one had not finished his meal, and he went indoors to the luxury of

41、a bed.It was a still and wet night. Just before dawn he was woken by the abnormal reverberation of familiar music. To the shepherd, the note of the sheep-bell is beating with unusual violence and rapidity. The experienced ear of Gabriel knew the sound was caused by the running of the flock with grea

42、t speed. He jumped out of bed and ascended the hill. These two hundred ewes (female sheep) seemed to have absolutely vanished from the hill. Gabriel called at the top of his voice:Ovey, ovey, ovey!He called again: the valleys and furthest hills resounded but no sheep. He passed through the trees and

43、 along the ridge of the hill. He advanced: at one point the rails were broken through, and there he saw the footprints of his ewes. The dog came up, licked his hand, and made signs implying that he expected some great reward. Gabriel looked over the side of the mountain. The ewes lay deada pile of t

44、wo hundred dead bodies.As far as could be learnt, it appeared that the poor young dog, still under the impression that since he was kept for running after sheep, the more he ran after them the better, had at the end of his meal off the dead lamb, which may have given him additional energy and spirit

45、s, collected all the ewes into a corner and driven the timid creatures through the hedge, breaking down a portion of the rotten railing. Gabriel was an intensely humane man; his first feeling now was one of pity for the untimely fate of these gentle ewes and their unborn lambs. It was a second to re

46、member another stage of the matter. All the savings had been gone at a blow; his hopes of being an independent farmer were laid low. Gabriels energies, patience, and industry had been so severely taxed during the years of his life, to reach his present stage of progress, that no more seemed to be le

47、ft in him. He leant down upon a rail, covered his face with his hands and uttered in thankfulness:“Thank God I am not married: what would she have done in the poverty now coming upon me!”Gabriel found that the value of remaining lambs, plant, and implements which were really his own would be about s

48、ufficient to pay his debts, leaving himself a free man with the clothes he stood up in, and nothing more. Two months later, Gabriel was discovered at the hiring fair in Casterbridge. Though he was not hired, he earned a few pennies at the hiring fair and learned that another fair would be held at Sh

49、ottsford, 10 miles beyond Weatherbury.32. What can we learn about the young dog?A. He was more than capable of doing a shepherd dogs duty.B. He was slow in responding to Gabriels different orders.C. He bore a striking resemblance to the old dog George.D. He belonged to those of terrible temper and b

50、ehavior.33. Where should the sentence “On the extreme summit, he saw the younger dog standing against the skydark and motionless.” be put in the passage?A. B. C. D. 34. Why did Gabriel utter such words in thankfulness after such a blow to him?A. He was greatly relieved to know that no villager got h

51、urt in the disaster.B. He felt lucky that he could pay off his debts with the remaining things on the farm.C. He was convinced that with patience and industry such a situation would improve.D. He had such a considerate and sympathetic nature that he didnt want to bother others.35. What might happen

52、in the following paragraphs?A. Gabriel decided to see Bathsheba on his way to Shottsford.B. Gabriel found a good job in Casterbridge and succeeded again.C. The young dog was abandoned for his failure to perform his duty.D. Good neighbors gave Gabriel a hand and restored the rotten railing.第二节(共5小题:每

75、t. Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed a big family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom

76、 and Dad and the other kids that were still at home. He looked at us and said, I wish you could have met my Dad. He was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. No matter how much my mother washed his clothes, they would
