21、 A human can’t easily enter another species’ social group to examine and influence what makes the animals tick. But the right robot can open up a clever way in.
Scientists have developed a robotic “fish” called SoFi in the hope of getting closer to marine life than ever before. The fish, which was developed by researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, can independently swim alongside real fish in the ocean. Fittingly, the robot has a fisheye lens (鱼眼镜头) on board that can take photos and videos of the marine it sees. Robert Katzschmann, lead author of the study, said: “We are all in an aroused state at the thought of the possibility of being able to use a system like this to get closer to marine life than humans can get on their own.”
While most underwater robots are tied to boats, SoFi has a much simpler and lightweight system that’s found in smartphones. To swim, the motor causes water to flow into two balloon-like chamber in the fish’s tail. As one chamber (室) expands, it bends to one side, and then when the motors push water to the other channel, that one bends in the otherdirection. Together, these actions create a side-to-side motion, just like a real fish. The researchers hope that these realistic movements will help to ensure the robot is as safe in its environment as possible.
Daniela Rus, who also worked on the study, said: “The robot is able to closely observe marine life and appears not to be disturbing to real fish.” So far the robot has been tested in the Rainbow Reef in Fiji, where it swims at depths of more than 50 feet for 40 minutes.
【1】Why have scientists developed the robotic fish?
A.To get close to observe marine life. B.To prove the progress in robot technology.
C.To make the field of marine life interesting. D.To test the intelligence of fishes in the ocean.
【2】How did Robert Katzschmann feel about their study of SoFi?
A.Curious. B.Excited. C.Nervous. D.Worried.
【3】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.Add more information to their study. B.Convey the researchers’ satisfaction.
C.Compare different underwater robots. D.Explain how the robotic fish works safely.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Robotic “Fish” that Can Record Marine Life in Detail
B.MIT’s Researchers who Have Developed Robotic Fish
C.Underwater robots that Influence Species in the Ocean
D.Rainbow Reef where the Robotic Fish Has Been Tested
22、 Money can buy happiness. 【1】 What would bring you greater, longer-lasting happiness: purchasing an expensive item you’ve been eyeing or honking the vacation you’ve been dreaming about?
【2】 New things are exciting to us at first, but then we adapt to them. Over time, he satisfaction with material objects decreased. Even though new cars may make us happy in the short-term, the freshness quickly wears off.
Spending money on experiences — travel, outdoor activities, concerts, classes, movies — brings us more joy than buying material things. One reason is that our experiences are a bigger part of our identity than our possessions. You can really like your material stuff, you can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, 【3】 In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences.
Another reason we value experience even after they’re over is that even negative experiences can become positive over time. 【4】 Why? Because even unpleasant experiences can later become funny stories or be looked at as character-building opportunities.
Shared experiences are also looked upon me favorably because they connect us to others more than shared consumption does. We feel more connected to people who have also backpacked through Europe than people who happen to have purchased the same iPhone. 【5】
A. But how you spend it matters.
B. Yet they remain separate from you.
C. You could use the material item every day.
D. One of the enemies of happiness is adaptation.
E. Just talking about them made their evaluation improve.
F, Spending money on experiential purchases makes people more generous.
G. If weighing your options, buying experience promises promotion of well being.
23、Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many free things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.
All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love the Geffrye Museum which shows English domestic interiors and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.
I regularly hear people tell me the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playground and the Peter Pan Statue.
No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.
Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations. Every December, Norway donates a marvelous Christmas tree, to thank Britain for liberation from the Nazis.
【1】Where can visitors find the Peter Pan Statue?
A. in Regent's Park. B. in St. James's Park.
C. in Hyde Park. D. in Kensington Gardens.
【2】Which of the following desrciptions is True ?
A. In the Geffrye Museum visitors can learn the history of London from Roman times to today.
B. The Queen Mary's Rose Gardens is in Buckingham Palace.
C. There is the Queen's Guard change inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 am every day all year around.
D. Trafalgar Square is both a tourist attraction and a place for political demonstrations.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One spring morning many years ago, I had been searching for gold along Coho Creek on southeastern Alaska's Kupreanof Island, and as I appeared from a forest, I froze in my tracks. No more than 20 paces away in the bog (沼泽) was a huge Alaskan wolf—caught in one trap.
From her appearance, I guessed that she had been trapped only a few days. I suspected that if I tried to release the mother wolf, she would turn aggressive and try to tear me to pieces.
What's next? I wondered. The mother wolf was clearly suffering. Yet each time I moved in her direction, she let out a howl. I thought I had to find her something to eat.
I hiked toward Coho Creek and spotted the leg of a dead deer. I whispered gently, “OK, Mother, your dinner is served, but only if you stop growling at me. Come on, now. Easy.” She sniffed them, then gobbled them up.
Over the next few days, I divided my time between searching and trying to win the mother wolf's trust. I talked gently with her, threw her more meat. Little by little, I kept edging closer—though I was careful to remain beyond the length of her chain. The big animal never took her dark eyes off me. “Come on, Mother,” I pleaded. “You want to go back to your friends on the mountain. Relax.”
On the fifth day, I delivered her daily meat. “Here's dinner,” I said softly as I approached. I slowly placed my hand on the mother wolf's injured leg. I applied pressure. The trap was open, and the mother wolf pulled free.
My experience in nature suggested that the mother wolf would now disappear into the woods. But cautiously, she walked toward me. Slowly, she sniffed my hands and arms. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural.
After a while, the mother wolf was ready to go into the forest. Then she turned back to me. At the same time, the mother wolf sent a long howl into the air. Then she disappeared.
Four years later, after serving in World War II, I returned to Coho Creek. There, standing, I gave out a long, low wolf call—something I had done many times before.
