They want to use robots to carry heavy things over difficult land. But providing enough power for those kinds of robots has been a problem. Now, that has changed. Engineers at MIT have designed a running robot that runs on batteries. Scientists say their robots will soon be able to run like cheetahs, the fastest land animals on Earth. One difficulty in designing these types of robots continues to be providing power. These machines are still quite heavy. And they need a lot of power to run. But the cheetah-like robot designed by engineers at MIT is light enough to run on batteries. The robot weighs just 30 kilograms. The robot needs only about 700 watts of power to run. This robot can actually jump 40cm high and it can land very safely and then it can run. The robots limbs and other parts were made in a three-dimensional or 3D printer. A strong, light-weight material called Kevlar is used to make the robot’s parts stronger. But the development of MITs robot is not without its own set of problems. The robot’s limbs must support heavy force, and sometimes they break. Scientists say the new technologies used on this robot may be used in the making of limbs for disabled persons and other machines. Some of those machines may help save humans from performing difficult and dangerous jobs. ( )16. What is the challenge in designing the four-leg robots? A. Carrying heavy things. B. Running fast. C. Being light enough. D. Providing enough power. ( )17. From the passage, we know that MIT’s robot . A. can carry heavy things B. can jump 30cm high C. is made of Kevlar D. is still very heavy ( )18. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Scientists have been working on four-leg robots. B.A new robot has been designed by engineers at MIT. C. The robots can help us do difficult and dangerous jobs. D. The difficulty in designing the new robot. B How do you like your school? Have you ever written to your headmaster to express your idea? Here are some letters written by students from different schools. Luke, 14, from Jiangsu I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we students have to wear uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports kit（服装）looks really dark and old. It can’t stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange colors and make a new type of uniform. I hope our headmaster will think about it. Danny, 14, from Zhejiang I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First of all, I think we should have more hobby classes in science , such as plane model making class and computer programming class. It is really boring to study basic subjects all the time. And second, I hope we can have more PE lessons or more time for physical exercise. Lots of students now don’t have a strong enough body. Sam, 15, from Shanxi I’d like to say thank you to my headmaster. About one week ago, I got a bad cold after playing basketball. Our headmaster came to me after he knew about it. He took care of me until my parents came. I really want to thank him for that. Helen, 14, from Shandong In the letter I wrote, I want to talk about the possibility of personal（个性化的）classes. Now many middle schools are trying the “personal class” system. Students don’t have regular classes. They can choose lessons they want to take. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for exercise. We don’t have to stay in one classroom all the time. ( )19. The reasons why Danny gives two suggestions are that ______. A. students have too few classes every day and they love sports B. studying basic subjects only is boring and students are too weak C. hobby classes are interesting and students have no PE lessons at all D. students want to cancel the basic subjects and they want to have more sports lessons ( )20. The underlined sentence “I think it is more effective” means “______” A. Regular classes will be more vivid and lively. B. Regular classes will help students learn better. C. Personal classes will be more vivid and lively. D. Personal classes will help students learn better. ( )21. According to the passage, most students write to their headmasters about _______. A. personal experiences B. how to make schools better C. spare time activities D. how to deal with other students C Nowadays there are different ideas about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social development. However, others say that competition is bad and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children. For them, playing well and winning are often life–and–death events. In their mind what they really want is going for success, the development of many other qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost on the way to success, others take an opposite opinion. Many people are strongly against competition. Among them, most are young people who have suffered from such pressure from their parents. They seem to look for failure by not trying to win or achieve success. ▲ ,they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” They don’t want to admit(承认) that if they have really tried and lost, that would mean more. Clearly, this belief(信念) is the same as that of those who try to prove(证明)themselves. Both come from the wrong belief that self–confidence depends on how well one does by comparing with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. If such fear begins to be unimportant, we can have a better knowledge of competition. ( )22. For some people who like competition, winning is really________. A. troublesome B. unfriendly C. important D. opposite ( )23. Which of the following sentences should be put in the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3？ A. By not trying B. By not losing C. By comparing D. By valuing ( )24. How does the writer make these different ideas clear? A. By giving explanations. B. By giving examples. C. By giving excuses. D. By giving suggestions. ( )25. What is the best title of this passage? A. The Competition and Failure. B. The Competition and Success. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/ffd3c9f31ae8b8f67c1cfad6195f312b3169eb3f.html
