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、Follow the Fashion---a New Age of the MacBook Pro
The new flagship laptops called the MacBook Pro from Apple, available in 13-and 15-inch screen sizes, are thinner(0.6 inches), lighter(3 or 4 pounds), and faster than ever before. The speakers are more powerful and sound great. Battery life is 8 to 10 hours, somewhat less than that of previous models.
Besides, they’re not becoming gradually narrower like the MacBook Air, but they’re thinner than the Air was at its thickest part.

23、 Rainforest is scattered along Australia’s east coast in western Tasmania, and small pockets across north Australia from Cape York to the Kimberley. Most of Australia’s rainforest-over million hectares -is in Queensland.
Where can see rainforest?
You can see rainforest in many national parks in Queensland. Some parks have facilities for bushwalking; others are suitable only for experienced walkers. If you would like to know more about rainforest, check with your local Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service Office.
Threats to survival
Weeds, fire, wild animals(pigs, dogs and cats), clearing for residential development, and visitor pressures(eg. littering)threaten remaining rainforest biodiversity.
Fragmented rainforest is particularly under threat. Private landholders who have rainforest habitat on their property can help conserve this special ecosystem and the many plant and animal species living within it.
How you can help
Stay on walking tracks. Delicate ground cover plants are easily trampled.
Clean your boots beforehand to avoid introducing soil virus.
Remember, everything is protected. Don’t pick, break or remove any plants.
Don’t feed native animals. Feeding is harmful and may lead to aggressive behavior.
Leave the rainforest as you found it. Take your rubbish home with you. Buried rubbish uncovered by forest animals can harm them.
Leave your pets at home. They are not allowed in national parks and can chase, scare and kill animals.
If you camp within the park， disturb the forest floor as little as possible. Don’t cut trees for tent poles or clear plants around your campsite.
Only use fuel stoves when cooking in rainforests Nutrient recycling is critical in a rainforest so gathering leaf litter and dead branches for fires can cause damage.
Don’t use soap, toothpaste, sunscreen or detergent in waterways. They pollute the water and harm aquatic animals.
【1】How can you appreciate the rainforest in Queensland?
A.By building facilities in the national parks.
B.By accumulating experience of walking.
C.By bushwalking in the national parks.
D.By checking with the local people.

24、A plan has been officially presented to build the world's deepest swimming pool in Cornwall,England. The pool, which is being built by the company Blue Abyss, will be used to train astronauts and develop underwater robots.
The Aerohub Enterprise Zone at Cornwall airport will house the pool, which may cost £ 150 million to build. It will be 40 metres wide and 50 metres deep. For comparison, Nelsons Column in Trafalgar Square in London is 52 metres tall. So this pool would almost be as deep as the column is tall. It will also be the world's largest pool by volume ( 容 积), containing enough water to fill 17Olympic-sized swimming pools.
The pool will be covered by a roof which can be easily removed and a 30-tonne crane(起重机)will lower heavy objects into it. These could include film sets and restaurants of the International Space Station (ISS). Training astronauts is going to be one of the pool's main uses. Astronauts train in swimming pools because moving underwater is similar to being weightless in space.
Astronaut Tim Peake said, "This project will help us to widen our knowledge of how humans and technology can work in extreme environments for the benefit of people and the planet." In 2015, Peake became the first British astronaut to board the ISS.and in 2016, he became the first British astronaut to go on a spacewalk.
John Vickers, who is the head of Blue Abyss and a former army diving instructor, came up with the idea for the pool. As well as having research and training purposes, he says the pool will be “a fantastic education centre for children and university students".
Blue Abyss says the pool could create up to 160 jobs and bring in £ 8 million a year for the local economy. The pool is scheduled to open in 2023.
【1】What is special about the swimming pool in Cornwall?
A．It aims to test robots underwater.
B．It costs a lot and is huge in volume.
C．It is being built near Nelson Column.
D．It is sponsored by the Cornwall government.
【2】Why is the pool suitable for training astronauts?
A．It offers astronauts access to space.
B．It brings convenience to astronauts.
C．It ea ms a good reputation as a training center.
D．It features similar weightless environment to space.
【3】What do Tim Peake and John Vickers try to express about building the pool?
A．It has the potential to reshape space training.
B．It will mainly serve as an educational center.
C．It is likely to bring some long-lasting benefits.
D．It enables human to work in extreme environments.
【4】What's the purpose of the text?
