A Robot Fish has been developed by National University of Singapore’s researchers from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.This robot fish has movements which have been inspired by the movements of the carp(鲤鱼).
There are various purposes that it can be used for.It can help in underwater archaeology ( 考古学 ).For example, it can enter a sunken city where human divers cannot enter.Just like a fish , it can also look at all the comers of particular wreckage.This robot can also be used for general purposes such as detection of leakages in a pipeline or for laying down communication cables across oceans.It also has possible military uses.
In order to copy carp movements, Mr.Fan studied the movements of the fish for around 3 months.He studied all the different movements of carp using different cameras and then converted these movements mathematically to transfer this data to the robot using many actuators(驱动器).
Professor Xu commented on the robot that the current models that copy fish movements are capable only of 2D movements which limits their capability as they are not able to dive into water.He said that his model is the first model with 3D movements which allows it to dive as well as float with the help of its fins, just as a normal fish would do.Hence, this fish model robot has much greater movement capability.It would be much harder for enemies to detect as compared to traditional ones when used for military purposes.
The researches want to make their robot fish even smaller, more realistic while adding more sensors such as GPS and video camera to it.This will improve its autonomous 3D movement.They are also planning to test the fish by giving it more difficult tasks such as detecting various objects.
1.The author gave an example in paragraph 2 _____.
A.to introduce the Robot Fish can help in underwater archaeology
B.to show the Robot Fish can be used for general purposes
C.to show the Robot Fish can lay down communication cables across oceans
D.to tell us the Robot Fish has possible military uses
2.Which is NOT true about the 3D Robot Fish?
A.It is capable of diving into water.
B.It cannot dive into water.
C.It can float using its fins.
D.It is difficult to detect.
3.What' s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The researchers will give the robot more difficult tasks.
B.The researches want to make their robot smaller.
C.The researchers are going to test the robot.
D.The researches plan to improve the robot.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement used widely
B.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement treading the ocean
C.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement created in Singapore
D.First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement's general purposes

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, "Versed".
"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win," said Armantrout.
"For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising."
Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for "Versed."
"This book has gotten more attention," Armantrout said, "but I don't feel as if it's better."
The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. "Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry," said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
"Versed", published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.
1.According to Rae Armantrout, __________
A.her 10th book is much better

C.the media is surprised at her works

2.Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?
A.She published a poetry textbook.
B.She used to teach Denise Levertov.
C.She started a poets' group with others.
D.She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.
3.What can we learn about "Versed"?
A.It partly concerns the poet's own life.
B.It is mainly about the American army.
C.It is a book published two decades ago.
D.It consists of three parts.
4.Rae Armantrout's colleagues think that she __________.
A.should write more B.has a sweet voice
C.deserves the prize D.is a strange professor
5.What can we learn from the text?

Claude Sammut,a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia,said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.
For many years,Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup,where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.
As he explains,the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own,but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney,who is one of the best football players in the world.
Mr.Sammut also said,"In 1968,John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland,that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him.It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came into being."
"In the same spirit of a grand challenge,RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050.To achieve this,or come even closer to the ambition,the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments.This will require major advances in perception(感知),decision making,learning,and cooperative behaviors.Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems,great advances will also be needed in sensors(传感器),energy storage,and materials."
1.The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth .
A. in 1968 B. in 1978
C. in the 1990s D. 30 years ago

Harvard University in the United States has been ranked as the university with the best "reputation" in the world.
The Times Higher Education magazine has listed 200 top universities all over the world based on how they are regarded by a group of international college teachers. That is to say the list measures how universities are regarded, rather than how they actually performed.
A subjective, word-of-mouth(口碑的)quality such as "reputation" has genuine economic value for universities, said Simon Marginson, professor of higher education at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
"Reputation is not just an impression, though it might be not as reliable as performance by objective indicators(客观指标)," said Prof Marginson.
Based on the views of 13,000 college teachers around the world, it confirms the power of the big US universities, which dominate this list. Seven of the top 10 are US universities, headed by Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Furthermore, 14 of the top 20 are from the US. Cambridge is the highest ranking UK university in the list, in third place, with Oxford ranked as sixth.
For students applying to university, reputation might be hard to quantify, but was an important part of the attractiveness, said the president of Cambridge University's students' union, Rahul Mansigani.
"Reputation makes a huge difference. If there is an idea that somewhere is great, it will get lots of good people applying whether it's true or not. Factors such as a sense of history and the presence of outstanding college teachers were part of the reputation of Cambridge," he said.
1.The underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably means __________.
A. affect B. decide C. control D. improve
2.What can be inferred from the text?
A. No Asian universities are among the Top 10.
B. At least five UK universities are among Top 20.
C. The Times Higher Education magazine is from the US.
D. Reputation affects students’ decisions when choosing universities.
3.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Turning ideas into reputation
B. World’s best universities ranked in order of reputation
C. The top 200 universities in the USA
D. Reputable Universities attractive to more students
