For ordinary people, it’s not surprising that we can open a door, lift a heavy box and stay balanced while walking through snow. But can a robot do this? Well, Google’s new robot, Atlas, can not only do these things, but it can also stand up on its own if it falls down, which is shown in a new video released by Google. This is better than many other robots, which need a stick to get up after falling.

Atlas is a high mobility (移动性), humanoid (类人的) robot made by engineers from Google. It is about 5 feet and 9 inches tall (about 175cm), with a weight of 180 pounds (about 81kg), which is close to an average-sized man.

Atlas was created to work in dangerous places for humans, such as damaged nuclear power plants (核工厂) to help save people.

“It uses sensors (感应器) in its body and legs to balance,” engineers told Daily Mail. And LIDAR, a special technology in its head, helps the robot avoid obstacles (障碍物), see the condition (情况) of the ground ahead and direct and move objects. LIDAR is a sensing technology that measures distances by lighting the object with a laser (激光).

With 30 joints (关节), Atlas can behave freely in different environments, such as walking, climbing stairs and finding its way through debris (废墟).

In the video, an engineer knocked down Atlas from behind. The robot fell flat on its face. But it was able to push itself up – first to its hands and knees, before righting its body and then pushing itself up onto its feet – all without help from a human.

Although the robot may be slow and clumsy, it might be able to save lives someday.

A. It needs a stick to get up after falling.

C. It’s about 5 feet and 9 inches tall.

WHAT kinds of books do you like to read? Well, a classic novel you may know stands out by talking about real life problems in the US. To Kill a Mockingbird (《杀死一只知更鸟》) is a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖) winning book written by Harper Lee.

The famous American author passed away in February at the age of 89 years old. We want to reme mber Lee, who has affected people’s lives greatly through her writing. She wrote about important things like attitudes (态度) towards race (种族) in the US. The reason this book is so popular is because the story was told from the innocent (天真无邪的) eyes of a child.

Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama. She started enjoying reading and writing in high school. Lee was studying to be a lawyer when she decided to quit and start writing full time.

To Kill a Mockingbird was her fi rst book, which was released in 1960. She didn’t expect the book to do well, but it became very popular right away. It was made into a movie in 1962, which won three Academy Awards.

Her life inspired (启发) parts of her book. Her father was a lawyer much like Atticus Finch, the

main character of the book. And it’s a story of a young girl growing up in the South who learns about race issues and civil rights (民权).

In 1991, a survey said that, after the Bible (《圣经》), To Kill a Mockingbird had the biggest effect on people’s lives, according to Daily News. After this book, she tried to stay out of the media and live

a quiet life. But she will be remembered for years through her writing.

1. According to the writer, To Kill a Mockingbird is popular because _____.

A. it talks about real life problems

B. it was written by Harper Lee

C. it won a Pulitzer Prize

D. it was told from the eyes of a child

2. Which of the following about Harper Lee is NOT true?

A. She died at the age of 89.

B. She studied to be a lawyer.

C. She published her first book at 34.

D. She made many movies.

3. The character Atticus Finch in Lee’s book _____.

A. comes from the North of the US

B. works as a lawyer

C. lives a quiet life

D. loves writing

Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us.Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen.Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect.It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning (推理的) skills.Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.

For example，you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket.This is the effect.To look for a cause，think to yourself，“What would make someone put on a heavy ja cket？”Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather.Maybe the person works in the penguin pen (企鹅圈养地) at Sea World.Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold.All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.

Now，think about a second example.The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher's office.What are the possible causes？Maybe he bullied (欺负) another student.Maybe he is just being picked up early.Maybe he is being given a prize!

Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect.Cait，13，was trying to fall asleep when her 8yearold brother，Doug，came into her room.He looked around a bit，but seemed really out of it.Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while.Little brothers can be very strange，but this was really much too strange.Cait didn't know what to do.Just then，Cait's father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking.What's the cause and effect，could you tell?

1．According to the second paragraph，which of the following is an effect?

A．Someone puts on a heavy jacket. B．Someone works in the penguin pen.

C．Someone will go outside into cold weather. D．Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink. 2．Abi has to go to the head teacher's office.Which of the following isn't the possible cause?

A．He bullied another student. B．He is going shopping.

C．he is being picked up early. D．He is being given a prize.

3．What was Doug doing when his sister Cait tried to fall asleep?

A．He was going outside. B．He was reading a story.

C．He was sleepwalking. D．He was looking for his dad.

4．Which of the following is cause and effect?

A．Tony got up and had a glass of water. B．We came home and found him sleeping.

C．The ball was lost and a window was broken. D．Tim was late again and his teacher got angry. 5．What is the best title for the text?

A．Truth and lies B．Work and sleep C．Cause and effect D．Life and dreams

中考英语英语阅读理解练习题(及答案)

中考英语英语阅读理解练习题(及答案) 一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1．阅读理解 According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University, nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2019, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone. However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information. On the other hand, using a smartphone may become an addiction. Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university. They led the study. Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction. And these connections form slowly over time. Also, addiction to social media may affect our emotional state. The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings. They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely, depressed and anxious. Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction. They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction. The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts. But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers. Enk Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook, set aside a small amount of time to it. You should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you. （1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. Smartphone use has become extremely common. B. Most young people can't live without smartphones. C. Smartphones make our life more colorful and convenient. D. Most people consider smartphones as the greatest invention. （2）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means smartphone technology____. A. has a brilliant future B. can be better than most people think C. has both advantages and disadvantages D. can give us unlimited amounts of information （3）What did Enk Peper and Richard Harvey find about smartphone use? A. It can help reduce loneliness. B. It's more popular with students.
