Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars (星球大战) . Today, however, a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to appear in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes, and colors. But they all have the same type of man-made “brain”. Leading the robot revolution (革命)are industrial(企业) robots that work in factories. Industrial(工业) robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren't as friendly and bright as those you saw in  Star Wars. But, their makers say, today's home robots “walk”, sense objects(感知物体) in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody is perfect.
We may laugh at home robot today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths(波长) of light, and hear certain sounds. That's because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robot may also be equipped with devices that pick up information humans can't. To understand what their sensing devices(传感器) pick up is a hard job. Remember, man—made brains handle(处理)information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like—using only zeroes and ones.

(1)、From the passage, we can see that factory robots _________.

A、help to improve other types of robots B、are most active in industrial revolution C、are playing a more important role than other types of robots D、are the tallest type among robots
(2)、It seems that home robots are __________________.

A、more widely used than factory robots B、less common than factory robots C、capable of doing any kind of housework D、free from making mistakes while performing(执行) duties
(3)、Robots may deal with information that humans can't. Which of the following is not one of the reasons?

A、They do not have so many limits as humans do. B、They have man-made brains. C、They may be equipped with a special kind of sensing device. D、They handle information by using zeroes and ones.
(4)、The development of robots suggests that _________.

A、science and technology are developing fast B、people are interested in new inventions C、machines are more capable than humans D、robots can be very interesting
(5)、According to this passage, present home robots ________.

A、are better than human in seeing and hearing B、are as capable as those in Star Wars C、can pick up objects more quickly than humans D、sometimes perform wrong actions

    Today we can use the Internet for many things: shopping, business, writing letters, talking to people, getting information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we call it e-talk.
    People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters, acronyms(首字母缩略词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some are as follows:
    BRB (be right back), BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud), IMO (in my opinion)
    People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations include info (information), pic (picture), puter (computer), sec (second), etc.
    We usually don't see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-)  (happy)     ;-)  (joking)       :-(  (sad)        :-O  (surprised)
These days, many public discussions have picture feelings, for example:
    
(happy)           (sad)            (angry)           ( (cool)
    There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "burning" the person.
    It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

When you're not at home, many worries may come to your mind. Did I turn the light off? Did I lock (锁) the door? With a smart home, you can keep away from all of these worries in the future.

A smart home is a home with a network(网络).The network connects(连接)with lights and TV sets, so that people connect them from far away by lines, mobile phone or WiFi over the Internet.

More and more people may want to have a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside your home and send the video to your phone. When you are on holiday in other countries, you can use a smart home controller to turn on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, make him come in and service him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.

Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. When a problem happens, you can deal with it yourself. However, for home-users, the smart home is not perfect. It can be rather expensive to have it. Also, because the smart home system (系统)makes its owner to get home information from anywhere, hackers(黑客)may enter into the smart home easily, and they may use or change their information in the system. Now, many people are excited at the future of the smart home.

There are others who worry that the smart home will make people lazier and lonelier. But anyway, one thing is for sure--the smart home will change the way we live and work.

 请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

On the night of Aug 11, the Paris Olympics Games closed with an amazing ceremony(闭幕式). As the first game started on July 24, around 10, 500 athletes from more than 200 countries and places competed at the biggest sports event in the world. 

Success and breakthroughs(突破)

In Paris, many unforgettable moments felt like dreams coming true. China's Olympic team had a fantastic performance, winning 40 gold, 27 silver, and 24 bronze. Chinese divers and table tennis players swept all the gold medals in their sports. In swimming, Chinese swimmer Pan Zhanle, 20, set a new world record of 46. 40 seconds in the men's 100-meter freestyle, making history. Zheng Qinwen, 21, won China's first Olympic gold in tennis singles on August 3. 

____

In addition to their outstanding athletic performances, the Olympic athletes in Paris will be remembered for their exceptional sportsmanship. After winning silver in women's singles badminton, China's He Bingjiao, 27, carried a Team Spain Olympic pin with her onto the podium (领奖台). She wanted to show respect for her semifinal (半决赛) competitor Carolina Marin. She wasn't able to continue her game because of her knee injury. He Bingjiao touched millions of people. 

Better Olympics, better society

Looking towards a better future, the rooms in the Olympic village will be turned into 2, 800 housing for more people. Paris held the opening ceremony along the Seine River, the famous river. Paris brought athletes, performers and the audience closer together, lighting the city of fashion with an amazing big party.
