     Hello, my dear fellow classmates. Today we’re having a class meeting here whose topic is “2012 Guangzhou Asian Games & Me”.                                                                            

                                                                                                                                                           

     Thank you for your attention and next, I hope all of you will share your idea with one another about the coming great Games.

WASHINGTON – It’s a great achievement that inspires notions of robots with consciousness and independent minds.

When people or animals get hurt, they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them stumble and fall. However, a recently made robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage.

The new robot, which looks like a splay – legged, four – footed starfish can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recover from unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers to be able to fix things on their own,” says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Vermont, who is one of the device’s creator. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to Earth.”

A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot’s movements and signals to its built – in computer. From the formation it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot’s legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking – it used three legs instead of four.

The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One pellicle spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea terrain might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish  is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again.” Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.

46.The newly designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it___________

       A.can communicate with people on the earth about their problems

       B.works according to a certain computer program

       C.can find its problems and solve them automatically

       D.can explore unfamiliar places

47.An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot ___________

       A.is used to create new programs

       B.has typical robot functions

       C.has sensors to observe its movements

       D.can gather information and adapt to new conditions

48.The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robot is ___________.

       A.creative    B.newly made     C.able to recover    D.informative

49.Which of the following is TURE about the robot “Starfish”?

       A.It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability?

       B.It will stumble and fall if damaged.

       C.It can grow its legs again once they are broken.

       D.It has started to work on the ocean floor.

50.What might be the best title of the passage?

       A.How does the Starfish Robot work

       B.Do – It – Yourself Robot Repair

       C.Robots Designed to Work On Other Planets

       D.New Robot Helping Us In Many Ways

第二部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题,第二节5小题;每小题2分,满分50分)

第一节:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡将该选项标号涂黑。

The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.

Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this, but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.

It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer’s. In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.

While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain’s nerve fibers, their effect is certain. Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients, but also spouses(配偶), friends and families.

What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Has the person been examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease? Though many reasons other than Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis(诊断)and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.

What feeling will you likely experience, should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn’t remember you are married.

Life for the Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

41.What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?

       A.She has been living with her father.

       B.She was sad about the death of her father.

       C.She can’t search for her father without being watched.

       D.She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

42.When people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease , ________.

       A.their families and friends will suffer from the same disease

       B.their families and friends will experience mental sufferings

       C.they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years

       D.they will forget everybody but their spouses

43.Memory loss occurs ________.

       A.from Alzheimer’s disease and nothing else

       B.from sadness, shock, anger, and so on

       C.for a number of reasons  

       D.with changes in personality

44.From the passage we know that        .

A.early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s disease occurring

B.it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain’s nerve fibers

C.nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer’s disease

D.when one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease ,he will be buried
