ARobots have proved to be valuable tools for soldiers, surgeons and homeowners hoping to keep the carpet clean. But in each case, they are designed and built specifically for the job. Now there is a movement under way to build multipurpose machines—robots that can move about in changing environments such as offices or living rooms and work with their hands.All­purpose robots are not, of course, a new idea. “It's been 5 or 10 years from happening for about 50 years，” says Eric Berger,co­director of the Personal Robotics Program at Willow Garage, a Silicon Valley organization. The delay is in part because even simple tasks require a huge set of capabilities. For a robot to fetch a mug, for example, it needs to make sense of data gathered by a variety of sensors—laser scanners identifying potential blocking objects, cameras searching for the target, force feedback in the fingers that grasp the mug, and more. Yet Berger and other experts are confident that real progress could be made in the next decade.The problem, according to Willow Garage, is the lack of a common platform for all that computational effort. Instead of enlarging the capabilities of a single machine, everyone is designing robots and the software to control them, from the ground up. To help change this, Willow Garage is currently producing 25 copies of its model PR2 ( Personal Robot 2), a two­armed, wheeled machine that can switch off the electrici ty, open doors and move through a room. Ten of the robots will stay in­house, but 10 more will go to outside research groups, and everyone will share their advances. This way, Berger says, if you want to build the robotic equivalent (等同物) of a Twitter, you won't start by constructing a computer. “You build the thing that's new.”21．The robots are mentioned to do some specific jobs EXCEPT in ________.A． battle fields B． operation roomC． people's houses D． wild fields22．The multipurpose robot may be identified as a machine that ________.A．can move about in changing environments and work with their hands B． can make sense of data gathered by a variety of sensorsC． has a huge set of abilities to finish all the simple tasksD． has identifying laser scanners, searching cameras and forcefeedback23．According to Willow Garage, we will make real progress in building all­purpose robots if ________.A．everyone designs robots and the software to control themB．they can produce 25 copies of its model PR2C．people can enlarge the capabilities of a single machineD．people can start by constructing a computer24．Willow Garage is currently producing 25 copies of its model PR2 so as to ________.A．design robots and the software to control themB．change the way of new robot construction researchC．open doors and go to outside research groupsD．go through the room and stay in houseBThere are a growing number of language immersion (沉浸) schools in the United States, including one that was founded in Columbia called La Petite Ecole, which teaches children French as a second language. Statistics, however, show that language instruction in regular schools is actually decreasing, and relatively few Americans know a second language.Scholars have spent years studying why Americans seem to ignore the importance of learning languages. While they have developed theories and given potential solutions, the future of language learning in the United States remains_hazy.Since 1997, the percentage of elementary and middle schools that offer foreign language courses has fallen significantly, from 31 percent to 25 percent at the elementary level and from 75 percent to 58 percent at the middle school level. However, the decline in elementary schools has appeared primarily in public schools, while the percentage of privateelementary schools teaching foreign languages has remained roughly the same at 51 percent. The percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has remained at about 91 percent.Meanwhile, the number of language immersion schools designed to teach a second language to English­speaking children and young adults has actually increased. Since 1962, 367 two­way immersion programs—schools that pair native English speakers with those who speak another native language—have developed in 28 states.“The younger the learner is, the more likely the acquisition of a second language will be facilitated，” Adel Safty wrote in the Canadian Journal of Education. Linguistic ability shows the greatest development between the ages of 4 and 8, she wrote.While the number of people who speak a language other than English at home is still relatively small, it has more than doubled over the past 30 years, according to a survey released in April.People between 18 and 40 make up the largest percentage of people who speak a foreign language. The 5 to 17 age group follows closely. But, among those 41 and older, the percentage of people who speak a second language decreases.25．What does the passage mainly deal with?A．The situation of Americans learning foreign languages.B．Why Americans don't like learning foreign languages.C．The importance of learning foreign languages.D．Suggestions for learning foreign languages.26．The un derlined phrase “remains hazy” in the second paragraph probably means “________”．A．is still unimportant B．continue to be uncertainC．have to be impossible D．is impolite27．According to Adel Salty, ________.A．people should begin to study foreign languages after age 8B．learners who have a friend to help them study a language better C．age has a big effect on people's ability to learn a foreign language D．people's linguistic ability grows with their age and experience 28．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．the percentage of public elementary schools teaching foreign languages has increased since 1997B．the percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has decreased since 1997C．the number of language immersion schools designed to teach a second language has decreased since 1962D．the number of people who speak a language other than English at home has increased since 30 years agoCThe Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the U．S. It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie to Albany and Troy on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's largest city.The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York. It cost $7,143,789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges (过运河费) were stopped, the state collected $121,461,891.For a hundred years before the Erie was built, people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton's Ditch (沟)”. Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful.Clinton became governor of New York in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4, 1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome, N．Y. The first part of the canal was completed in 1820. As the canal grew, towns along its course developed fast. The length of the canal is 363 miles.29．We can see that the Erie Canal ________.A．joined the Great Lakes togetherB．crossed New York from north to southC．played an important part in developing New YorkD．was the first waterway built in the U．S.30．It can be inferred that ________ into the Atlantic Ocean.A．the Great Lakes flowB．the Hudson River flowsC．Lake Erie flowsD．the Erie Canal flows31．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The Erie Canal brought profits of over $114,000,000.B．It's 363 miles from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.C．The West was more advanced than the East when the canal was built.D．Many other states helped New York build the canal.32．We can draw a conclusion that ________， according to the passage.A．Clinton broke ground for the canal at both endsB．Clinton started building the canal before he became governor C．all parts of the canal were completed at the same timeD．construction of the canal took eight yearsDElectric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline­powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero­emissions (排放) vehicles”， but people in California seem to be_clueless about whereelectricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar ceils, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something—usually coal, oil, and also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热的) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zero­emissions” cars are likely coal­burning cars. It's just because the coal is burned somewhere else, so it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an unbelievably efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas [or another fuel] and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gas­powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill (垃圾) and finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.33．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Electric cars are not clean at all.B．Electric cars are better than gasoline­powered ones.C．People have doubts about electric cars' batteries.D．Gasoline is an effective way to power a vehicle.34．The underlined words “be clueless” mean ________.A．know nothing B．have confidenceC．feel excited D．be pleased35．The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.A．not less than 25 miles B．as far as 50 milesC．as far as 25 miles D．not more than 25 miles第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
