Their designers say that with these robots, rescue workers will be able to have more time to savemore 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,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.24.

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should know that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry(消耗资源). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicalsand huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environmentally-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your wallet. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmentally-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms(健身房;体育馆)”. They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or some other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.28.

So I came up to the woman and her frightened-looking daughter, telling them that her daughter could sit with me and that I would take care of her during the journey.The plane had arrived 25 minutes late, and people walked in line to get their seats . The conductor wanted to know if there were people traveling together, so I went to the front of the line with the girl and we were arranged to sit next to each other. Once on board, I showed her where to put her package, and took her to the bathroom area. Then we settled down to sleep. In the morning, I showed her the dining room and bought her a drink. She became comfortable enough to do what most 15-year-olds do: talk and text on her mobile phone.All through the trip, I made sure she picked up her ID, which had fallen out of her backpack, some money, which had fallen into the crack (缝隙)of the reclining seat, and continuously kept an eye on her. I hope someone takes her under their wing when she flies back to Sacramento.I do hope that kindness will spread around the world through these ways. We’re conditioned to think that our lives go on with great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped(包裹)in what others may consider a small one.32.

Do something good even though it may be tiny.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
