In recent years scientists have built a special robot to accompany astronauts on space missions (任务). Because this robot looks and moves like a person, scientists call it a humanoid robot. The latest model of the humanoid robot is known as R2, short for Robonaut 2.R2 was first launched into space on February 24, 2011. It was built by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the car producer General Motors (GM).R2 weighs 330 pounds and costs $2.5 million to build. It has arms and a head- filled with vision equipment—but no legs. Its "brain", or computer, is in its stomach. R2's arms can hold 20 pounds. Each bendable finger has 5 pounds of grasping force. R2's hands are also skillful. Since its hands are shaped like human hands, R2 can use human tools to complete tasks traditionally performed by astronauts." Astronauts absolutely have their day packed from the minute they wake up until they go to bed. If Robonaut can provide just an hour's worth of relief to the astronauts doing something they don't want to do, that would make it worth it right there," says Nic Radford, the deputy project manager of R2.One advantage of working with R2 will be that ii can't complain about its work! Astronauts will also appreciate the fact that the robot can perform its duties without constant supervision (监管). R2 can be assigned a task and then checked on periodically. If R2 does not complete a task correctly, astronauts will be able to make minor adjustments to adapt (适应) the robot's behavior so that the task gets done right.R2 is still in the design stage of development, which means that scientists are frequently testing it and looking for ways to improve it. Right now, humanoid robots do not have the protective equipment needed to work outside the space station. As technology advances, humanoid robots will be able to help astronauts with dangerous tasks as well as routine ones.In the future, humanoid robots will be astronauts' eyes in space, going to places considered too difficult or unsafe for astronauts to explore. Some of them will be mounted on wheels to explore the surface of planets or asteroids (小行星). The robots will be able to send back videos and help astronauts gather information about the atmospheres of these places.One outcome of using these humanoid robots will be a greater understanding of the interaction between humans and robots. NASA engineers believe that when humans and robots combine forces and work together, the results will be better than what either could achieve alone. John Olson, a director at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C, says that the project will allow us to go farther and achieve more than we can probably even imagine today.（1）According to the passage, we know that R2 __________.A . has skillful arms and legsB . looks and moves like a personC . hasn't been launched yetD . provides just one hour's relief（2）We can learn from the passage that __________.A . R2 can only perform its duties with constant supervisionB . R2 is designed to only help astronauts deal with routine tasksC . R2 will be able to work outside the space station in the futureD . R2 has already taken the place of the astronauts' eyes in space（3）John Olson believes that __________.A . humanoid robots will be better at understanding humansB . astronauts will go farther in space than humanoid robotsC . humans will achieve more goals with the help of humanoid robotsD . robots will gather information about the atmospheres of the earth14. （8分） Tomorrow is Mother's Day.

Last year's theme was “Healthy sleep, away from the slow disease”. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.But many students don't get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can't fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.These sleeping problems greatly affect people's lives. Experts have shown that lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, lack of sleep may make them depressed.Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.（1）If Li Hong is 15 years old, how much sleep does she need every night?A . 10-12 hours.B . 8-9 hoursC . 7 hours.D . Less than 7 hours.（2）What might happen if teens don't get enough sleep?A . They might do well in sports.B . Their bodies and brains might grow better.C . They might feel depressed.D . They might not be able to finish their schoolwork.（3）Which is NOT a reason why so many students don't get enough sleep?A . They cannot pay attention in class.B . They have too much homework to do.C . They have sleeping problems.D . They have to get up very early to go to school.（4）Which of the following are good sleeping habits?a. Sleeping in a bright place.b. Going to bed at the same time.c. Sleeping in a dark and quiet place.d. Drinking something that makes you excited.A . a-bB . a-cC . b-cD . b-d（5）The underlined word “insomnia” means “_______” in Chinese.A . 健忘症B . 肥胖症C . 多动症D . 失眠症16. （8分）阅读理解Everyone has a family name.
