    B
    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

    New York, 10 November—5:27pm,yesterday. Biggest power failure in the city's
    history.
    ? Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21st and 22nd floors of the Empire State Building. “There were twelve of us. But no one panicked. We passed the time telling stories and playing word games. One man wanted to smoke but we didn't let him. Firemen finally got us out.”
    ?“It was the best night we've ever had,”said Angela Carraro,who runs an Italian restaurant on 42nd Street.“We had lots of candles on the tables and the waiters were carrying candles on their trays. The place was full—and all night, in fact, for after we had closed, we let the people stay on and spend the night here.”
    ?The zoos had their problems like everyone else. Keepers worked through the night. They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm. While zoos had problems keeping warm, supermarkets had problems keeping cool.“All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted,” said the manager of a store in downtown Manhattan.“They were worth $50,000.”
    ?   The big electric clock in the lobby(大厅)of the Waldorf?Astoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started ticking(滴答) again at 5:25 this morning. It was almost
    on time.

    Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.
    Being alone in outer space can be   36 . That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them   37 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.   38 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on  39 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
    Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of  40 is. When men are  41 together for a long period, they begin to feel   42  . Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very   43  .
    Apparently, although no one wants to be  44 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of  45 or stress.
    People who are well-adjusted are able to   46 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in   47 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

     Three months after the government stopped issuing（发放）or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security（安全）concerns, some cafe owners are having financial（经济的）concerns of their own.
    The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway, but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.
    “I handed in a request to open up an Internet cafe and received the conditions,” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”
    Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee. “I’m avoiding closing the place, but it’s been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is.” Obeidallah said. “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”
    The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet cafe, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place, filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.
    “I did all that was asked and rented a place. And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me, saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can’t even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80,000,” Al-harbi added.
    As for the government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way. But security concerns come before profit（盈利）.
    小题1:The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes       .
    A．to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes
    B．to make cafe owners earn less profit from their business
    C．to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet
    D．to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway
    小题2:The government’s decision led to the fact that many cafe owners            .
    A．suffered heavy financial losses
    B．asked to open up Internet cafes
    C．continued to operate Internet cafes
    D．asked the government for payment
    小题3:The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means             .
    A．to be studied
    B．to be put into practice
    C．to be changed
    D．to be improved
    小题4:The cafe owners found the government’s decision          .
    A．surprising and unacceptable
    B．understandable and acceptable
    C．reasonable but surprising
    D．surprising but acceptable

    NANJING, June 13,2009 (Xinhua) – China will see the longest total solar eclipse (日食) in 500 years on July 22, a scientist said Saturday.

    The most important time of the total eclipse was expected to
    begin from 9:00 a.m. to 9:38 a. m. (Beijing Time), said Wang
    Sichao, a research fellow with the Nanjing – based Purple
    Mountain Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
    “The total eclipse will l ast up to six minutes, which is the longest
    one that can be seen in China in almost 500 years from 1814 to 2309,” Wang said.
    He said viewers in parts of eleven provinces in China's southwestern, central-southern and eastern areas, such as Tibet, Hunan and Jiangsu, will be able to witness the total solar eclipse, while in most parts of Shanghai, viewers can see the spectacular phenomenon. For viewers in other provinces, including Beijing, they can observe a partial eclipse, he said.
    A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is caught between the sun and the earth while each of them moves along their fixed orbits. In a total solar eclipse, the sun, the moon and the earth are directly aligned as the sun swings into the cone of shadow cast by the moon.
    Wang said the next total solar eclipse that can be seen in China will fall on March 20 th, 2034.     "But it can only be seen remote provinces, such as Tibet and Qinghai. It cannot not be compared with the upcoming one -- in terms of duration and number of cities that can see the eclipse," he added. The last total solar eclipse visible in China took place on Aug. 1 last year. It was observed in northwest China and lasted two minutes in Yiwu County of northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the best place to see the phenomenon.
    72．According to the report, the total eclipse on July the 22 nd will last         .
    A．over a month                                                    B．about 38 minutes
    C．about 6 minutes                                              D．less than 30 minutes
    73．Viewers can possibly witness the total solar eclipse in            .
    A．Liaoning                   B．Sichuan                    C．Beijing                      D．Xinjiang
    74．When a total solar eclipse happens,          .
    A．the moon goes into the shadow cast by the sun
    B．the earth stays between the sun and the moon
    C．the sun temporarily moves into the moon’s orbit
    D．the sun is in a line with the moon and the earth
    75．Which is the best title for this report?           .
    A．China to witness longest total solar eclipse in 500 years
    B．The most important total solar eclipse will favor China
    C．The beginning time of the total solar eclipse is expected
    D．China has been the best place to witness the solar eclipse
