TOKYO, JAPAN--What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂)? Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?
When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器).Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.
Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can’t,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾)to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.
This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.
First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(触须). They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight. ”
With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don’t always move in the right direction.
【小题1】The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ______.
A.they want cockroaches to do things people can’t in the future |
B.they want to control the movements of the cockroaches |
C.they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes |
D.they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches |
A.They can lift 20 times their own weight. |
B.They can help people to carry very small cameras. |
C.They can breed hundreds of cockroaches. |
D.They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake. |
A.by removing their wings |
B.by sending signals from the remote control |
C.by using very small cameras |
D.by removing their antennae |
A.The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move. |
B.The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction. |
C.The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble. |
D.The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight. |

One of my favourite things to do is hiking in mountains. Because nobody likes the idea of getting lost, I always prepare before every trip. But what’s the best navigation tool, a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a good old map and compass? Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail I marked. One team of three carried a GPS, and the other team used a map and compass.
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 11 minutes to get through the whole hike, however, it took the map and compass team only 2 hours and 49 minutes. The biggest problem the GPS team met was that they lost the satellite signal (卫星信号) in some places. With no map or compass, they had to walk around until they were in a place where the signal was good. The map and compass team was able to spot (认出) different landmarks, compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction.
When I head out on my future hikes, I’m bringing a map, a compass and a GPS to show me the way.
1.The writer prepares before every trip because he doesn’t _________.
A.like the old map or compass
B.know how to use the GPS
C.want to get lost in mountains
D.want to get into the mountains alone
2.The two teams _________.
A.had the same navigation tool
B.went along the same trail
C.had the same problem
D.finished the whole hike at the same time
3.In the end, the writer found out _________.
A.the map and the compass were too old navigation tools to use any more
B.it wasn’t necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPS
C.the GPS had some bad points in hiking in mountains
D.he wouldn’t use a GPS any more
