Wide World of Robots

Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobs. These researchers tinker(修补) with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. "They're the best toys out there," says Howie Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist, a person who designs, builds or programs robots.

When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved - cars, trains, animals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later, in high school, he built mobile robots similar to small cars.

Hoping to continue working on robots, he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Choset's labmates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars: robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward, backward, left and right. But snakes can twist(扭曲) in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain(地形). "Snakes are far more interesting than the cars," Choset concluded.

After he started working at Carnegie Mellon, Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robots. Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes, such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't, such as rolling. Choset's snake robots could crawl(爬行) through the grass, swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.

But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries, the doctor has to open a patient's chest, cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the oparation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?

Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati, a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School, to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and then tested the robot in pigs.

A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology for surgeries on people.

Even after 15 years of working with his team's creations, "I still don't get bored of watching the motion of my robots," Choset says.

16. Choset began to build robots in high school.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

17. Snake robots could move in only four directions.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

18. Choset didn't begin developing his own snake robots until he started working at Carnegie Mellon.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

19. Choset's snake robots could make more movements than the ones others developed.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

20. The application of a thin robotic snake makes heart surgeries less time-consuming.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

21. Zenati tested the robot on people after using it in pigs.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

22. The robotic technology for surgeries on people has brought a handsome profit to Medrobotics.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

Ecosystem

1 The word "ecosystem" is short for ecological (生态的) system. An ecosystem is where living creatures expand within a given area. You can say that an ecosystem is the natural environment where biological organisms (生物) such as plants, animals and humans co-exist in this world. So naturally that includes you and me. Yes, we are all members of an ecosystem!

2 There are different kinds of ecosystems depending on the type of surface or environment. Most are naturally made such as the ocean or lake and the desert or rainforest. Some are man-made or artificial to encourage co-habitation (兴居) between living and non-living things in a monitored environment, such as a zoo or garden.

3 Plants make up the biggest group of biological creatures within an ecosystem, and that's because they are the natural food producers for everyone. Plants raised in the earth need air and collect sunlight to help them grow. When they grow, the plants and its fruits or flowers eventually become a source of food to animals, microorganisms (微生物) and even humans, of course. Food is then converted to energy for the rest of us to function, and this happens in a never-ending cycle until the living creatures die and break up back in the earth.

4 Ecosystems are the basis of survival for all living things. We depend on plants and animals for food. In order for us to exist, we need to grow and care about other organisms. We also need to care for the non-living things within our environment like our air and water so we can continue living as a population. Since plants, animals and humans are all of various species (物种), we all play a role in maintaining the ecosystem.

5 To preserve our ecosystems, we should stop using too much energy, which happens when we consume more than our share of resources. Humans should not disturb the natural habitat (栖息地) of plants and animals, and allow them to grow healthily for the cycle to continue. Too many people in a habitat can mean displacement (搬迁): imagine being thrown out of your home because there is no more space for everyone. Worse, overpopulation can also ruin the environment and cause destruction of existing plants and animals.

When Our Eyes Serve Our Stomach

All we have a clock located inside our brains. Similar to your bedside alarm clock, your internal clock2 runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle, called a circadian rhythm, helps control when you wake, when you eat and when you sleep.

Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it's time for bed, your body may be pushing you to stay up3 for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later.

This shift4 is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body's clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark5. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud6when they don't get enough sleep, says Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence, RI7. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.

But just like your alarm clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes.

Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years, researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body's clock8 were handled through the same pathways that we use to see.

But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it's day or night.

36. "Poorer children" and "hungry people" are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show

A. humans' senses are influenced by what's going on in their heads.

B. they have sharper senses than others.

C. they lose their senses because of poverty and hunger.

D. humans' senses are affected by what they see with their eyes.

37. There was a delay in Radel's experiment because

A. he needed more students to join.

B. he didn't prepare enough food for the 42 students.

C. he wanted two groups of participants, hungry and non-hungry.

D. he didn't want to have the experiment at noon.

38. Why did the 80 words flash so fast and at so small a size on the screen?

A. To ensure the participant was unable to perceive anything.

B. To guarantee each word came out at the same speed and size.

C. To shorten the time of the experiment.

D. To make sure the participant had no time to think consciously.

39. Radel's experiment discovered that hungry people

A. were more sensitive to food-related words than stomach-full people.

B. were better at identifying neutral words.

C. were always thinking of food-related words.

D. saw every word more clearly than stomach-full people.

A. humans' thinking processes are independent of their senses.

B. an experiment with hungry and non-hungry participants is not reliable.

C. humans can perceive what they need without deep thinking processes.

D. 42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation.

The Development of Ballet

Ballet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changed.

Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens，as well as other nobility，to participate in pageants that included music，poetry，and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones，court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement，they were able to perform elaborate walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts，changed to flat shoes，and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.

It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France，himself a devoted dancer，founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the late 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.

Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid -1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company，the Ballets Russes，brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants，George Balanchine，went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.

41. This passage deals mainly with

A. famous names in ballet.

B. how ballet has developed.

C. Russian ballet.

D. why ballet is no longer popular.

42. The word "pageants" in Paragraph 2 means

A. big shows.

B. dances.

C. instructions.

D. royal courts.

43. Professional ballet was first performed in

A. France.

B. Italy.

C. Russia.

D. America.

44. Who had an important influence on early ballet?

A. Balanchine.

B. Antoinette.

C. Diaghilev.

D. Louis XIV.

45. We can conclude from this passage that ballet

A. is a dying art.
