Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say that with these robots, rescue workers will be able to have more time to save more lives during an earthquake.
This robot looking like a helicopter（直升机）, is called the detector-bot . It's about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions（作用）are to collect information from the air, and send goods of up to 30kilos, to people stuck in an earthquake.
This robot has a high quality 360 degree panoramic camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area. Dr. Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, "Unlike other automatic machines, the most important feature of this robot is that it doesn't need a distant control. We just set the information of the earthquake-struck area on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour. "
This robot has a different function --- it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
As well as a detector（探测器）that finds victims（遇难者）and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40 centimeter long robot, which can work in the dark.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot, with its 10-meter-long pipe. People who are caught in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will enter production, and serve as part of the national earth- quake rescue team as soon as next year.
1.Which of the following statements about the robot is true according to the passage?.
A. It hasn't been put into production so far. B. It is a machine with a length of 10 meters.
C. It is a machine carried by a helicopter. D. It weighs about 30 kilos.
2.Dr. Qi Juntong thinks this robot is different from the others mainly because _____.
A. it has more functions
B. it has a more advanced camera
C. it can change as the environment changes
D. it can work by himself once given the information
3.The underlined word "which" in paragraph 6 refers to_____.
A. a camera B. a detector
C. a rescuer D. a doctor
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The appearance of the robot. B. An introduction to the robot.
C. The reason for making the robot. D. Some information about earthquakes.

Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence （Al） finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.
Analyzing a patient's heart function on a cardiac MRI （心脏磁共振成像）scan currently takes doctors around 13 minutes. But a new trial by University College London （UCL） showed an Al program could read the scans in less time with equal accuracy. There are approximately 150,000 such scans performed in the UK each year, and researchers estimate that fully using Al to read them could save 54 clinician-days （临床天数）at each cardiac centre per year. So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.
It is hoped that Al where computer systems are able to learn from data to identify new patterns with minimal human intervention will transform medicine by helping doctors spot dis- eases such as heart disease and cancer faster and earlier. However, most scans are still read by specially trained doctors.
Dr Charlotte Manisty, who led the UCL research, said, "Cardiovascular MRI offers in- comparable image quality for assessing heart structure and function. However, current manual analysis remains basic and outdated. Automated machine techniques offer the potential to change this and completely improve efficiency and accuracy, and we look forward to further research that could confirm the superiority to human analysis."
She added, “Our dataset of patients with a range of heart disease who received scans enabled us to demonstrate that the greatest sources of measurement errors arise from human factors. This indicates that automated techniques are at least as good as humans, with the potential soon to be 'super-human'—transforming clinical and research measurement precision."
Professor Alastair Denniston said, "Within those handful of high-quality studies, we found that by deep learning Al could indeed detect disease ranging from cancer to eye disease as accurately as health professionals. But it's important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis. ”
1.Which of the following can best describe this Al program?
A.Time-consuming. B.Environmentally friendly.
C.Extremely unpractical. D.Labor-saving.
2.What is Charlotte Manisty's expectation of automated machine techniques?
A.To treat eye disease faster and earlier.
B.To analyze heart disease efficiently and accurately.
C.To combine manual with automated analysis.
D.To confirm heart structure and function.
3.What did Alastair Denniston say about Al?
A.It would be super-human soon.
B.It couldn't completely replace expert doctors.
C.It would correct professionals' measurement errors.
D.It couldn't detect cancer as accurately as health professionals.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Al has many shortcomings in practice.
B.Al totally shows its superiority to human analysis.
C.Al can reduce medical errors arising from human factors.
D.Al can diagnose heart disease as well as doctors in less time.

Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots, according to a new research. The study, conducted at the University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers（同龄人）and robots.
It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also showed in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots. However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.
The study asks people to look at a screen showing four lines and say which two match in length. When alone, people almost never make a mistake but when doing the experiment with others, they tend to follow what others are saying.
When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87% on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot.
The research was led by former Plymouth researcher Anna Vollmer and Professor in Robotics Tony Belpaeme, from the University of Plymouth and Ghent University.
Professor Belpaeme said: “People often follow the opinions of others and we’ve known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around us. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots. What our results show is that adults do not follow what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity（亲和力）with robots than adults, which does give the question: what if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think?”
1.What did the adults do when staying with robots？
A.They totally accept the robots’ suggestions.
B.They generally refused the robots’ effects.
C.They tried to persuade robots to resist them.
D.They usually compared robots with their children.
2.Why did some children made more mistakes in the experiment?
A.Because children were not as clever as adults.
B.Because robots in the presence made such mistakes.
C.Because robots reflected better than human beings.
D.Because children wanted to affect the robots on purpose.
3.What is Professor Belpaeme’s attitude towards the result of the experiment?
A.He is optimistic about the result. B.He doubts the result of the research.
C.He doesn’t care about the result. D.He is so worried about the future.
4.What should be followed after the last paragraph?
A.What will we do to teach our children?
B.What will adults do to avoid the problem?
C.What will people do to solve such problems?
D.Why are children influenced by such robots?

Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes significantly prior to the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University Duisburg-Essen in Germany presented these findings on Thursday at the European Geosciences Union annual meeting in Vienna according to LiveScience.
Berberich and her colleagues discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their colonies right along active faults in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds （土堆)）lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth violently bursts in earthquakes.
Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity. Berberich and her colleagues tracked the ants round the clock for three years, 2016 to 2019. They found that the ants' behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude （级数）2. There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes of over magnitude 2 only.
According to Berberich, normal ant activity consists of going about collecting food etc,during the day and resting in the night But before an earthquake, the ants didn't go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange and abnormal behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Livescience.
How do ants know an earthquake is coming? Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas emissions or noting tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic fields （磁场）. "Red wood ants have special cells which can detect changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for detecting electromagnetic fields." she said. Berberich and her colleagues are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes
