Let's take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids but not for robots.Pick things up Picking things up is not easy. If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First we must find the pencil. Then we move our hands to it. A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. When we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.Get around in large space If someone drops us in a building we didn't go to, we might feel a bit lost. But we can look around, find a door and get out quickly. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on ceilings (天花板) and floors. This is because it's hard for robots to understand space，especially large and blank things such as walls or ceilings.Understand the world made by people Because of common sense, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We pick up a coffee cup by its handle (把手). We feel whether(是否) it has coffee inside and whether it is hot.A robot may turn the cup upside down. It may hold the hot part of the cup. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules. But even huge databases (数据库) don't help much. Maybe they need more time to learn.9. What may happen when a robot tries to pick up a pencil?A. It may break the pencil.B. It may roll the pencil.C. It may not find the pencil.D. It may watch the pencil roll.10. What will a robot do in order to find a door?A. Dig a big hole in the wall.B. Only look for large and blank things.C. Search everywhere even the ceilings.D. Drop itself in a corner in the building.11. What can we learn about common sense from the last two paragraphs?A. Robots can teach themselves common sense.B. Robots have the same common sense as humans.C. Scientists tried teaching robots common-sense rules.D. Huge databases are very helpful in teaching robots common sense.12. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robots are not helpful to humans at all.B. Robots are good at picking up small things.C. It is easy for robots to understand large space.D. Robots have trouble understanding our world.DDo you ever imagine(想象) what life will be like in 2060? An international group of forty scientists have made some surprising predictions. They said that in the next forty years, our lives would change beyond(超出) our wildest dreams.Firstly, humans can grow body parts themselves. Dr. Ellen Heber-Katz is one ofthe forty scientists. He says, “People will think it common that sick organs (器官) can be repaired. It's just like the way we fix a car. ” Damaged parts will be taken away. Scientists could use human cells (细胞) to grow new organs. New technologies like this will also help people to live longer. Within forty years, most people will be able to live up to one hundred years.Secondly, the scientists have predicted that a machine will be invented to “read” the minds of animals. In 2060, we will be able to “talk” to animals. Scientists say that humans may first “talk” with mammals (哺乳动物) and then other vertebrates (脊椎动物) such as fish.Thirdly, our houses might also change beyond our imagination. Dr. Susan Greenfield predicts that when you enter the living room, sensors (传感器) will know. They will turn on the lights. If you talk to the lights, they will change to the color of your choice.But what would be the biggest breakthrough (突破) over the next forty years? A number of scientists believe it would be the discovery of aliens. NASA scientist Chris McKay says, “We may find aliens in space and talk with them. ” He believes marks of alien life may even be found here on Earth.Does life in 2060 sound cool to you? Let's wait and see what will really happen then!13. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. In 2060, humans may be able to communicate with dogs and aliens.B. Most people will be able to live up to two hundred years in forty years.C. The sensors will turn off the lights after you leave the living room in 2060.D. Scientists will find marks of alien life on Mars.14. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P1＝Paragraph 1,P2＝Paragraph 2…)15. The writer wrote the passage in a tone (语气)of ____.A. regretB. surpriseC. relief(轻松)D. anger16. What is the best title for the passage?A. Life in 2060B. The Biggest PlanC. How to Live LongerD. The Most Possible Future第二节阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。
