The first robot that many human beings welcomed into their homes was a creature born 20
years ago. It didn't look the way we imagined robots we pictured self-driving cars. We got a self-
driving vacuum cleaner (吸尘器) Roomba.
Roomba inventor Joe Jones began work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 1982, and he was blown away by the pioneering research of
the brilliant minds around him. “ I predicted that in three to five years, robots were going to be
everywhere doing all kinds of things,” he said. “Five years later, robots weren't anywhere doing
anything.”
As he thought about why he’d been so wrong, he realized that roboticists were making robots
emissaries (使者) of the future instead of making them products. He decided to make a robot that
could help with a problem in his own life: a messy apartment. When the MIT lab held a robotics
talent show called the AI Olympics, Mr. Jones turned some Lego pieces, tape and a bottle brush
into his potential solution. He created the Neanderthal of Roombas.
The primitive ancestor wasn't good enough to clean his apartment, but Mr. Jones felt it could
be a good product with the right development. Before long, his lab ran out of money. He was laid
off. He moved to a robotics startup, proposed the concept of the Roomba and got fired. And then,
he joined iRobot, working on a large cleaning robot for department stores. In 1999, a workmate
suggested they make robotic floor sweepers for the home. Now the timing was right. The company
provided funds, so they set about building a robot.
The Roomba showed that humans were willing to spend money on robots that saved time. The
people at iRobot thought it would be amazing back then if they could sell 15,000 robots that would
handle annoying domestic work. They have since sold 40 million. The company's annual income
from consumer robots went from less than $40 million. In 2001 to more than $1.5 billion last year.
24. Why did Mr. Jones’ prediction fail to come true?
A. He was misled by some brilliant minds.
B. He ignored the focus of robot takes in the 1980s.
C. The MIT lab lacked creative researchers.
D. Robotics met some technical difficulties.
25. What do we know about the Neanderthal of Roombas ?
A. It solved Mr. Jones’s problem
B. It won first prize in the AI Olympics.
C. It was made of materials from daily life.
D. It was welcomed by a robot ticks startup.
26. What do the numbers in the last paragraph indicate ?
A. IRobot’s robots are a hit in the market.
B. Consumer robotics companies are increasing.
C. Domestic work takes up too much time.
D. Large funds are invested in robotic development.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. History of Robots. B. Pioneers in Robotics.
C. Roomba’s Path to Homes. D. Roomba, World’s First Robot.
C
Cactus (仙人掌) leather is a bio-based material famous for its breathability, an area in which
other vegan leathers fall short. This unique material has been used for handbags, shoes, clothes, and
furniture. Even car companies are following the trend.
Cactus leather is made from the nopal cactus, which is harvested twice a year by cutting off
only mature leaves so that the cactus can continue to grow. The leaves are then cleaned, broken into
smaller pieces, and left out in the sun to dry. Fibers are separated from the dried pieces. Then, a
powdered protein is extracted (提取), taken to a laboratory, and mixed with varying materials that
include colorants to form a liquid substance, which is then poured on top of a carrier material to
form cactus leather.
The nopal cactus used to make cactus leather is a fast-growing plant that doesn’t need much
water. It is easily grown in dry conditions and is considered drought tolerant, an important quality
for water conservation. Its hardiness also make it ideal in an industry that is reliant on whether and
climate conditions, creating a good income source for farmers. The most promising part of cactus
farming is the plant’s ability to store carbon in the soil, allowing it to play a part in dealing with
climate change.
Leather has a long and troubled past. The poisonous substances used to make leather are often
under fire as well as the treatment of animals. The cactus avoids these problems and also reduces
carbon from the atmosphere. As the fabric is a relatively new, it is not known exactly how long it
will last. That said, there is a study that shows the performance of the fabric is comparable to
conventional leather.
Cactus leather appears to have a bright future ahead. Its adaptability and ability to draw in
carbon are ideal features among the growing concerns for climate change and greenhouse gases.
28. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Why the nopal cactus is perfect for making leather.
B. Why cactus leather is setting new trends.
C. What cactus leather is used for?
D. How cactus leather is made?
29. What is a feature of cactus?
A. It can keep carbon in the soil. B. It can store much water in its roots.
C. It grows slowly in wet conditions. D. It is low in protein.
30. What advantage does cactus leather have over conventional leather?
A. It is softer. B. It is more durable.
C. It is cruelty-free. D. It is low in protein.
31. What is the author’s attitude to the future of cactus leather?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.
D
　　“I've never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at
Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming
from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So
far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a
cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring -------or perhaps not for another 5
years. It seems the reproductive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern
science.
