That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see things very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took manypictures of great people.

2019-2020学年湛江二中港城中学高三英语下学期期中考试试卷及答案解析

2019-2020学年湛江二中港城中学高三英语下学期期中考试试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFour Best Cities to Visit in WinterCold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial. But here are four cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination:Prague,Czech RepublicWith its snow-capped spires and winding streets,Pragueis a fairytale city that remains ly tourist-free in winter.The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town, with its Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center, adding a romantic color1 to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.Salzburg,AustriaWith its Christmas songs and traditional markets, this is a perfect city for a winter break. “Silent Night” was performed for the first time in thechurchofOberndorfon the border ofSalzburgon Christmas Eve in 1818.The city's main market is held in the shadow ofSalzburg'sHohensalzburgCastle, but the one held inMirabell Squareis especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as halusky—pieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon.Tromso,NorwayTromso is widely regarded asNorway's most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights. There are several attractive museums, including thePolarMuseum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and theTromsoMuseum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.Amsterdam,NetherlandsIn winter,Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House. Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carre Theater is more than 130 years old. Children will love the spectacular performances.1. What can you do inPrague?A. Enjoy the fascinating architecture.B. Taste local food halusky.C. Appreciate Sami exhibitions.D. Watch a circus performance.2. Where was “Silent Night” first performed?A. In thechurchofOberndorf.B. InHohensalzburgCastle.C. InMirabell Square.D. In the Polar Museum.3. Which city will you choose if you want to see the northern lights?A. Prague.B. Salzburg.C. Tromso.D.Amsterdam.BWe all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Othersrepeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent:“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.4. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.B. The fresher the information isthe easier to remember.C. Thinking is more important than remembering in study.D.

Fighting Against ForgettingD. Repeat to RememberCDid you know that horses talk? Well, they do, and you can lean to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to the horses you see.When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a mountain lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears of a horse, you can get clues to what it's hearing. A horse can tum each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this trick is important for survival. The horse can hear something sneaking up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it's feeling safe and relaxed. If horses becomeisolated, they neigh, or “whinny,” calling for company. They're saying, “Where are you? I'm over here!” If a horse snorts(哼) while holding its head high and staring at something, it's saying, “That looks dangerous. Get ready to run!” When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other's breath. It's their way of asking, “Are you a friend?” Horses nicker,too. Nickering is a quiet sort of sound. This friendly noise means they're feeling secure and saying, “Clad to see you.”In the wild, horses live in herds, with all members watching for danger. In a herd, only one horse is the leader, the “boss hoss”. The “boss hoss” is usually an older female. She watches for threats and teaches younger horseshow to behave. However, others may want her job. When that happens, she pins her ears back against her head and may even bite or kick to get challengers to back off. She's using body language to say, “Hey, I'm in charge here!” All horses know that the one who makes others move is the leader. Horses relate to people that way, too.Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying.8. What is the general idea of this passage?A. Horses can talk with their owners.B. You can know a bit of horses' language.C. Horses can “talk” in their own way.D. Other animals can also learn language.9. What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Lonely.B. Glad.C. Sad.D. Frightened.10. What will a horse do when he wants to know whether another horse is a friend?A. He will let his ears down.B. He and another horse will put their noses together and smell each other's breath.C They both will hold their heads high and stare at something.D. He will give another horse a dangerous kick.11. How will the “boss hoss” deal with her challengers?A. By warning or fighting.B. By watching for threats.C. By teaching younger horses how to behave.D. By relating to people.DFirefighters in Florida this week helped rescue a bald eagle with a fishing hook stuck in its beak（嘴）and the attached line wrapped around its wing and beak.

He didn’t want to live there, and he didn’t want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car.His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver’s license（驾照） just before his eighteenth birthday.The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a testing drive on the open ground, and called out, “This is what I want, Dad!” when everything was done, they were ready to leave.Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, “It’s my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!”His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front.So he said, smiling, “I’m sure you’re back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive.”“No,” Dad replied, “Do you remember what you did to me all those years when I took you to and from school? I am sitting here to hit and kick the back of your seat all the way!”28. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Martin’s father agreed to buy hima car?A.

How would the whole family probably feel on their way home?A. AngryB. SadC. CheerfulD. ShockedCInternational travelers, whether travelling for business or pleasure, will find themselves solo from time. Here are a few ways to meet new people and perhaps even get new travel chances.Make yourself friendlyBe relaxed and polite. Remember to put yourself in social situations. Restaurants, shops and parks are all great places to meet people. If you want to make local friends in a country, stay near the place the locals often visit.Show your photo albumKeep a small photo album in your bag when you travel. Photos of family, friends and pets will help your new friends to learn more about who you are and give you things to talk about. They will share their similar experiences with you, and it will help you to learn more about your new friends.Offer something specialCan you help your new friends improve their Chinese? Can you cook a traditional Chinese meal? By sharing your experiences, you can have a relationship with your new friends that they won’t soon forget.Give some giftsMany foreigners love Chinese goods but have to pay a lot when buying them in their homeland, so you’d better prepare some gifts such as silks, tea and china(瓷器). They are always popular.Exchange flatsIf you and your new friends get along well, you can give them your information and plan to exchange flats for your next trip. Then you can visit their countries and stay in their flats while they stay in yours．In this way you will improve friendship and live like a local abroad，but pay less for travelling．31．The underlined word “solo”in the passage means“_______”.A. free B．alone C．worried D. close32．From the passage we can learn that ________.A．sharing travel experiences can help you develop friendshipB．goods in foreign countries are much cheaperC．exchanging flats is popular in foreign countriesD．international travellers always get into trouble33．This passage is mainly about how to ________.A．travel more often both at home and abroadB．prepare for a business tripC．improve friendship with foreignersD．make friends when traveling in foreign countriesDThese days haze（雾霾）is around us here and there. In fact，everyone has the power to change their living habits to help reduce it. Many local governments call on their people to take action to make the air cleaner.Transport is one of the biggest contributors（促成物）to haze. When，where，how，why and what you drive all affect air quality. When one drives to work for one year，he uses as mush energy as a bus rider uses in 10 years. So walk or ride your bicycle to work or school whenever possible. If it is necessary，you can use public transport instead of your car. Each person using public transport for a year instead of a car can save nearly a tone of pollutants, including CO2，from going into the atmosphere.Carpooling is another way to reduce carbon emissions（排放）.Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. It immediately reduces your car’s emissions by half.What you do inside your living space can have a big effect on the air quality outside it. You can do a lot of things inside and around your home that will help you pollute less and save some money.A large amount of our energy supply es from burning coal，another contributor to haze. By cutting down your electricity use，you are cutting down on haze. So you may try to reduce your use of electricity by turning off lights，using your air conditioner wisely during the summer months, or updating some of your electrical appliances to low-energy models. For example，you can use energy-saving lamps that require less energy and last 10 times longer than mon bulbs.34. Which does the writer think should play an important rode in reducing haze?A. City cleanersB. Haze producersC. Local governmentsD. mon people35.We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer thinks ________.A. cars can be used only when people have toB. cars should be given up as soon as possibleC. cars must be improved to reduce air pollutionD. cars may cause the most serious pollution of all36. We should reduce the use of electricity mainly because________.A. we can save a lot of money by using less energyB. coal is now being rarer and rarer on our planetC. harmful things e out while electricity is producedD. electrical appliances send out something harmful to our air37. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. What are causing haze around usB. What you can do to reduce hazeC. How dangerous haze is to our lifeD. How important it is to reduce haze第II卷（主观题共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。

That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.4. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”.A. attracted meB. surprised meC. accepted meD. refused me5. What does the house really mean to the author?A. A house.B. Buildings.C. An object.D. Memories.6. What surprised the friends I know after work?A. Finding the wall repainted.B. Erasing the fingerprints.C. Greeting them by tears.D. Leaving the wall unfinished.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Gift Made with LoveB. Buildings Made by ChildrenC. A Very Wonderful PaintingD. A Family HistoryCA Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub(技术中心)Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale. Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as aprototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.8. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.9. What can be inferred from the text?A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.10. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?A. It is promising and rewarding.B. It has benefited the space industry.C. It's a long way to produce it.D. It'll help make money for the company.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used in SpaceB. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space WasteC. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePowerD. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space RobotsDIt is essential that students have a category of school-related activities they can participate in. These activities can range from activities during normal school hours to after-school activities. No matter the time, these activities should be available to every student, and at Victory Pioneers International Schools (V.P.I.S) it is encouraged that every student participate in at least one activity, educational and recreational.One of the primary reasons school activities are important at V.P.I.S. is because it gives students the exercise they might not normally receive. Most popularly, these types of activities include major sports such as football,basketball, baseball, tennis, track and field and soccer but also might include gymnasium games and other games.Activities during V.P.I.S. also make a good impression on colleges if students are planning to pursue more education. Colleges look for students who do not just go to school and go home after school. These activities range from participating in clubs and sports to volunteering after school at a recreation center or having a part-time job. If a college sees you maintained good grades while participating in these activities, it will be impressed.V.P.I.S. activities also allow students to be creative. Gifted-and-talented activities allow gifted students to participate in what they otherwise would never have experienced in the classroom. They are a great way to allow students to be creative. Additionally, participating in clubs such as drama that appeal to students’ interest also allows them to expand their knowledge and be creative.Students also can have their interests expanded by participating in activities. These activities could consist of anything, such as joining the Future Business Leaders, the school’s debate team and the chess team, to name a few. By participating in these activities, a student might realize he is interested in something he never knew he was interested in before.12. What can we learn about activities at V.P.I.S.?A. Not every student has access to them.B. Students are required to take part in them after school.C. They give students exercise that might not be got in other schools.D. Educational activities are more popular with the students.13. What benefits can the students get from the activities?A. They can get extra grades when applying for colleges.B.

湛江二中港城中学英语周末作业专题：阅读理解（一）正确率( /4 ) Job interviews can be very different from country to country. An interviewer's "body language" and questions, and the form of an interview are not the same around the world.If you're at a job interview in Japan, don't look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite. But if you're at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact(交流) with the interviewer. If you don't, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability.In the US and some other countries, interviewers aren't supposed to ask questions about family and personal information. In most countries, however, personal questions are very common during job interviews.In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的) interview. In Mexico and many other countries, the whole interview might not be formal. 1．In Japan, looking directly into the eyes of the interviewer is .A．boring B．impolite C．humorous D．dangerous2．What is suggested at an interview in the US according to the text?A．Sitting by the interviewer. B．Making eye contact. C．Talking about family background. D．Asking personal information.3．In ，a short talk usually begins before a formal interview.A．Japan B．the US C．Germany D．Mexico4．In which part of a magazine can we read the text?A．Science B．Geography C．Culture D．Sports正确率( /3 )Two WoodsmenThere once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain.One day, they happened to discover two large bags of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy. The cotton was light but valuable, so they carried it on their backs and went back home.When they were walking home, one of the woodsmen found a large bundle( 捆) of cloth beside the road. So he discussed with his partner whether to throw the cotton and take the cloth instead. His partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way, he would not change it with cloth. He thought all his previous(之前的) effort would turn out to be useless. However, the woodsman still gave up his cotton and carried the cloth on his back. After walking for a while, the woodsman found several gold disseminated( 散落) on the ground not far away. He felt so happy that he was going to be wealthy. While his partner was still unwilling to throw the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not.However, when they just walked to the foot of the mountain, it began to rain suddenly. The woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton got wet and became so heavy that he couldn’t carry it. Finally, he went back home empty-handed, but his partner carried gold.In our lifetime, it’s important to judge the hour, size up the situat ion, and then make a change properly. It may not be a good thing to insist on your opinion.5．One of the woodsmen didn’t give up the cotton because he .A．thought the cloth was heavier B．didn’t want to waste his previous effortC．thought the cloth was less valuable D．didn’t want to make much trouble6．When the woodsman who carried the cloth found the gold, he thought .A．he would return it to the owner B．he would share it with his partnerC．he would become rich D．he would change it for cloth7．The woodsman making no change was finally back home with .A．nothing B．cotton C．gold D．cloth正确率( /3 ) At night, you fall asleep while listening to beautiful music. In the morning, you are woken up by the singing of birds outside. You can enjoy all of these things because of one important organ( 器官) —the ears. March 3 is Ear Care Day. It helps us remember the importance of our ears and encourages us to take good care of them.You may wonder: how do the ears work? The ear has three different parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects sound around you. The sound then travels down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.Your ears never stop working, even when you are asleep! Your ears continue hearing sounds, but your brain just ignores them. That’s why you may sometimes wake up suddenly in the middle of the night —your brain hears something, but you don’t know what it is, since you are asleep.More surprisingly, ear s even help with tasting food. Of course, you don’t actually taste food with your ears. But there are nerves(神经) running through the middle ear that connect the tongue to the brain. If something happens to your ears, you may have a hard time telling different tastes apart, according to the website of People’s Daily.The ears are truly important organs with many functions. You should make sure to protect your own ears as well as you can. There are some Dos and Don’ts you need to know.First of all, when the sun is shining, wear some sunscreen(防晒霜) on your ears. And during winter, cover your ears with a hat or a scarf. Secondly, dry your ears with a towel after swimming or having a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear.Besides, don’t listen to music on your earphones for too long. Follow the 60:60 rule: listen to music at 60 percent of the maximum volume(最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day. Also, it’s not a good idea to share earphones with friends. When you have only one earphone, you might turn the volume up too high, since one earphone isn’t loud enough. 8．Which is TRUE according to the passage?A．The inner ear is the most important part.B．We can still know what is happening when we are asleep. C．We’d better not use one earphone when we listen to music.D．We can still taste food with ears if there is something wrong with our tongue.9．We can protect our ears by . A ．wearing no sunscreen on sunny days B．coveringour ears with a scarf in winter C．listening to thesinging of birds outside D．washing our ears witha towel after swimming10．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．An Important Organ —the Ears B．Ear Care DayC．Functions of Ears D．An Organ We Don’t Know —the Ears（四）正确率( /3 )Free Time?

They are afraid of getting sunburnt and making their skin deep-colored. So they seldom like outdoor activities, or use sunglasses, sunshades, sunscreen cream and so on to protect them from the sunshine.As a matter of fact, the sun is quite good for us. Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute say that avoiding the sun can be as bad for you as smoking. Here are some reasons why it's good for us to spend time in the sunshine.First of all, it helps you start the day. Being woken up gradually by the natural light of the sun improves energy and mood during the day because it turns off melatonin（褪黑素）, which influences sleep. You're less likely to get that half-awake and half-asleep feeling you suffer during the dark morningsof winter months. "Sleep with your curtains open to wake naturally," say sleep experts.Secondly, it makes you feel happier. "It's no coincidence that we always feel better when the sun is shining, but is not on rainy or cloudy days." says Emma Derbyshire, public health nutritionist andspokeswoman for Health and Food Supplements Information Service. Exposure（暴露）to sunlight is alsorelated to serotonin（血清素）production in the brain, improving positivity. "A test found that safe sun exposure can actually help treat depressive symptoms（抑郁症）, especially in those who are poor in vitamin D," says Emma.Next, it may help you stay slim. "Good vitamin D levels have also been related to reduced levels of body fat," says Emma. According to studies by the universities of Southampton and Edinburgh, ultraviolet radiation may control the development of obesity and type-2 diabetes.Last but not least, it is good for your heart. People are more likely to die of heart disease in winter than in summer. According to researchers from Copenhagen University Hospital, those with the lowest levels of vitamin D are 81% more likely to die of heart disease compared with those with the highest levels of the vitamin. Sun exposure cuts the risk of heart attack and stroke by reducing blood pressure, according to the research.14．The writer mentions Karolinska Institute's research in Paragraph 2 to show that .A．the sun is as bad for us as smoking B．spending time in the sun is good for usC．sunshine makes us get sunburnt D．the sun makes our skin deep-colored15．Sleep experts probably agree that .A．we should sleep in the darkness as much as possibleB．the natural light of the sun can't improve energy and mood during the day C．it is good to sleep with curtains open and wake naturallyD．you won't get that half-awake and half-asleep feeling with the help of melatonin16．The word "coincidence" in Paragraph 4 probably means .A．two things happening at the same time by chanceB．two things having something in contrastC．two things planning to happen at the same timeD．two things being the same in all ways17．What can we learn from the passage?A．Melatonin is bad for sleep.B．Serotonin production in the brain makes you feel happier.

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. It 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.Sensing First of all, your robot would have to be able to sense the environment around it. Giveyour robot 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 wheel, walk on legs or be driven by small engines(发动机). 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 it is to do.18．The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 is about .A．the toy B．the characteristic C．the machine D．the engine19．The chemical sensors may help a robot to .A．See B．catch C．hear D．smell20．In how many ways can a robot power itself according to the passage?A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.21．The Chinese meaning of "Intelligence" in the last paragraph is .A．能源B．勤奋C．智能D．外观22．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To help people understand what a robot is.
