This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.4.Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?A.To beg for food.B.To get her babies treated.C.To express thanks.D.To give birth to her babies.5.How did the doctors help the baby cat?A.They built them a home.B.They adopted all of them.C.They operated on them immediately.D.They gave them right medicine. 6.What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?A.Their physical state.B.Their eating habit.C.Their appearance.D.Their behavior.7.What can we learn from the story?A.cat has nine lives.B.One good turn deserves another.C.Love makes a difference.D.God helps those who help themselves.British chip maker Walkers is being flooded with mail deliveries of its own packaging. An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design.As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption. The UK alone consumes 6 billion bags of chips a year, and Walkers turns out 11 million bags daily. Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’time, there will be 200billion packets either se nt to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.”Mailing the bags to Walkers is a way to hold the company accountable for its packaging and to pressure it to come up with a better design. But it is controversial. Because the Royal Mail postal service isn’t happy about the sudden in flow of packages, asking people calm down to help with ease of delivery. Critics on Twitter also question the logic of buying a product in order to protest against its producer and suggest that giving up chips altogether would improve one’s health as well as the environment.Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by2025. “We have received some returned packets and recognized the efforts being made to bring the issue of packaging waste to our attention. The returned packets will be used in our research as we work towards our commitment of improving the recyclability of our packaging.”8.Why do people mail their empty chip bags to Walkers?A.To oppose Walkers’ plastic packaging.B.To exchange them for some new chips.C.To make Walkers use them once more.D.To appeal to people for not using the bags.9.What does the second paragraph mainly show?A.The production of plastic bags.B.The cause of animals’ death.C.The potential harm of chip bags.D.The opinion of Geraint Ashcroft.10.What is the underlined word “accountable” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Explainable B.Responsible C.Significant D.Anxious 11.How does Walkers react to the campaign?A.Doubtfully B.Indifferently C.Positively D.CautiouslyA teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure (安全的). To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to thepoint where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.12.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A.It benefits teenagers to have freedom.B.Some parents allow their kids nofreedom.C.Kids know how to live independently.D.Kids have a dull routine every day 13.In the opinion of the author, ________ .A.it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphoneB.kids should focus on the school workC.parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friendsD.good friendships between kids harm their school work14.How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?A.Angry B.Lucky C.Disappointed D.Calm 15.The author hopes to have her door locked in order to________.A.keep her father from reading her dairy B.stop thieves from going inC.protect herself from any harm D.prevent her mother entering her room二、七选五Many students want to know the best ways to improve their learning. 16FocusOne of the best ways to organize your study session is to use the Pomodoro Technique.17 The idea is to use a timer(计时器). For example, you set the timer for 20 minutes, and focus only on your studies during that time. You cannot check email, or do anything aside from your task. When the timer goes off, you can reward yourself by listening to some music or having a drink of tea.Test yourselfWhen you are studying, you should test yourself often. 18 You can also find all kinds of online tests for many subjects.Mixing19 For example, while studying maths, you could mix multiplication(乘法) and division(除法) problems. It may be better for long-term learning.TeachingTeaching is also a powerful way to learn. Researchers compared different groups of students. Some did not expect to have to teach information, while others did. When they actually teach a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material.In a word, you can create your own plan based on what you need to learn. You might organize your study periods with the Pomodoro technique. Then, you can test yourself and mix different topics. There are many choices. 20A.Here are a few useful methods.B.In other words, they only study one topic at a time.C.This method is a technique that means you mix different topics.D.All of these methods can be put together to make a powerful study plan.E.It is a powerful, but simple method that helps people focus on a task.F.When you focus and do tasks that are at the right difficulty level, your brain will become tired.G.If you are using a textbook, then you can do practice questions from the end of each chapter to test yourself.三、完形填空I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. Inever answered the 31 when I called her.Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths 32 again. I met her at a wedding.

关于机器人对人类有利的英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Robots Are Our Helpful FriendsHave you ever seen a robot before? Maybe you've watched movies with cool robot characters like Wall-E or the droids from Star Wars. Robots seem like futuristic machines from sci-fi stories, but they actually exist in the real world too! And you know what? Robots can be really helpful friends to humans like us.Robots are basically machines that can move and do things automatically without a person controlling them directly. They have motors, sensors, and computers inside that let them move around, sense their surroundings, and follow programmed instructions. While some robots are built just to be fun toys, many robots are designed to assist people and make our lives easier and better.One way robots help humans is by doing difficult, dangerous, or boring jobs that we wouldn't want to do ourselves. For example, there are robots that can explore deep under the ocean or even travel into space to places too hazardous for people.Other robots work in factories and assembly lines, repeatedly lifting heavy objects or putting things together with perfect precision.Some robots are made for search and rescue missions. These robots can squeeze through tiny spaces in crumbled buildings after an earthquake or explosion, looking for survivors. Their cameras and sensors allow them to safely check areas that would be too risky for human rescuers. Robotic rovers like the ones used on Mars can travel across extreme, rugged environments that people could never survive.Robots can also do jobs that require skills beyond human abilities. Manufacturing robots can put together tiny components for electronics or engines with incredible accuracy down to the micrometer. Surgical robots let doctors perform minimally invasive, precise operations through just a few small incisions. Robots don't get tired or make mistakes like we do.Another way robots can be helpful companions is by assisting people with disabilities or special needs. There are robots that can fetch things, open doors, turn on lights, and perform other simple household tasks for people who have difficulty with mobility. Some robots can even understand speech and respond to voice commands.Robot pets are fun alternatives for people who can't have real pets due to allergies or living situations. Robotic therapy animals can comfort people in hospitals or nursing homes with lifelike motions and sounds, providing emotional support. Social robots with friendly faces can keep elderly individuals company and remind them to take medications.Even in our schools and homes, robots are becoming more common. Many teachers now use small programmable robots to help kids learn about coding and robotics in a fun, interactive way. Some families have robot vacuum cleaners that automatically zoom around picking up dirt and dust. Personal assistant robots can answer questions, tell jokes, play music, set reminders, and more.Of course, we need to be careful that we don't become too dependent on robots doing absolutely everything for us. It's important for people to stay active and learn practical skills. We should think of robots as helpful tools and partners, not replacements for human capabilities. But overall, robots have amazing potential to make our world safer, more efficient, and easier in many ways.As technology keeps advancing, robots will likely become even smarter and more capable. Maybe one day we'll haverobots that can cook our meals, drive our cars, or even fly our planes! Already, self-driving robotic vehicles are being developed to help people get around without human drivers.No matter how advanced robots become, they will be created by humans to serve humans. We just need to learn how to best design and use robots in responsible, ethical ways that truly benefit people's lives. If we're smart about it, robots really can be incredibly helpful machines and loyal companions to us humans.Personally, I can't wait to meet the next generation of robots. Having robotic helpers and friends sounds exciting to me. As long as we treat robots with care and stay in control of how we use them, I think robots have the potential to make the future a little bit easier and more amazing for all of us. Let's welcome our new robot pals!篇2Robots Are Really Cool and Helpful!Hi everyone! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about how awesome robots are and why I think they can make our lives so much better.First of all, robots are just really, really cool! They can do all sorts of amazing things that we humans can't do. Some robots are super strong and can lift incredibly heavy objects. Others can move around really quickly. Some can even fly through the air or go underwater! Isn't that wild?Robots also have really advanced sensors that allow them to see, hear, touch and smell things in amazing ways. Some robots have cameras that can see in the dark or infrared vision that lets them detect heat signatures. Other robots have super sensitive microphones that can hear the tiniest sounds from far away. There are robots that can feel things with a much lighter touch than we can and smell odors that are basically invisible to humans. With capabilities like that, robots can do jobs that would be impossible for people.But robots aren't just cool because of how strong, fast, and sensitive they are. Perhaps the most amazing thing about them is how smart they can be! Modern robots can understand human languages, follow complex instructions, and even learn and adapt over time. My favorite robots are the ones that can analyze enormous amounts of data way faster than any person could. In just a few seconds, they can study millions of pieces ofinformation and discover hidden patterns that lead to incredible breakthroughs in science, medicine, business, and more!With all of their amazing abilities, robots can really help make our lives so much easier and better. Here are some of the awesome ways robots can lend us a hand:Doing Dangerous JobsThere are lots of jobs that are just too risky for humans to do safely. Things like defusing bombs, exploring the depths of the ocean, repairing leaks at nuclear power plants, or going into burning buildings to rescue people are all incredibly dangerous tasks. But we can send in specially designed robots to handle these situations instead of risking human lives! That's so cool.Working in Harsh EnvironmentsIn some places, the environment is just way too harsh for people to work and live in. Like the surface of Mars or the deepest parts of the Arctic where it's brutally cold. Or inside an active volcano where the heat and toxic gases would kill a person right away. But rugged robots built to withstand extreme temperatures and other hazards can go explore and work in those locations for as long as needed. With their help, we canstudy and understand those types of environments without putting anyone in harm's way.Assisting People with DisabilitiesRobots can also be hugely helpful for people who have disabilities that make some everyday tasks difficult. There are robots that can help deaf people communicate, guide the blind and visually impaired, or even act as extra arms and legs for someone who struggles with mobility. How great is it that robots can lend their abilities to assist people who need a little extra help?Doing Chores and Repetitive WorkLet's be honest, a lot of chores and repetitive tasks are just plain boring and tedious. Dusting, cleaning floors, mowing the lawn, washing dishes - nobody really likes doing those kinds of basic jobs around the house. But there are already robots that can take over a lot of that dull, monotonous work so we don't have to! I definitely want to get a robot butler to do all my chores when I grow up.The same goes for repetitive jobs in factories, warehouses, and other workplaces. Robots can be programmed to do the same tasks over and over again without ever getting bored, tired,or making mistakes. That frees up human workers to focus on more interesting, important, and mentally challenging responsibilities. Sign me up!Exploring Space and The Deep SeaEver since I was a little kid, I've been fascinated by outer space and dreamed of becoming an astronaut. But as I got older, I realized how incredibly difficult and dangerous space travel and exploration truly is for people. Thankfully, we can send robots to brave the extreme environments and vast distances of space in our place. Rovers on Mars and other robotic spacecraft have helped us learn so much about our solar system and universe that we could never discover on our own.And it's not just space - the deepest, darkest regions of the ocean are also harsh, uninviting places for humans to explore. But underwater robots allow us to plunge to the ocean floor and even travel along it for miles, studying marine life and geological features up close. We would probably know very little about the ocean depths if it wasn't for robotic submersibles and remotely operated vehicles.Providing CompanionshipThis one might sound strange, but I think companion robots could be really helpful and fun to have around! As artificial intelligence gets smarter and more advanced, robots will be able to learn how to be great friends and partners to humans. They could play games with us, help tutor kids with their homework, or just listen and chat when we need someone to talk to.Robots could make wonderful companions for elderly people who may not have many friends or family members visiting them often. Or for kids who get lonely when their parents are at work all day. Having a robot pal could make people feel happier and loved in a way. Of course, robots could never fully replace human friendships and relationships. But I think a next generation of socially intelligent robots could provide some amazing company for those who need it.Saving Lives in Search and RescueWhen disaster strikes and people go missing after an earthquake, hurricane, or terrible accident, every minute counts in trying to find and rescue any survivors. But sending human search and rescue teams into unstable, hazardous areas poses serious risks. That's where search and rescue robots come in. These specialized bots can quickly enter situations that would be far too dangerous for people. With sensory equipment to detectsigns of life, they can help locate victims and get help to them faster. Some even have attachments to provide emergency medical treatment if needed. Truly lifesaving technology!Helping Scientists Expand Human KnowledgeThroughout history, new tools and technology have always helped scientists and researchers make new discoveries that expand the boundaries of human understanding. Telescopes let us gaze deeper into space, microscopes opened the door to studying microbes, and particle colliders shed light on the most fundamental building blocks of our universe. In the modern era, incredibly intelligent robots and AI systems have become the latest powerful tools for scientific inquiry and innovation.With their advanced data processing capabilities, robots can help analyze incredibly complex topics in fields like genetics, neuroscience, climatology, quantum physics, and more that are just too intricate for the human mind alone. Robotic explorers on Mars and beyond are helping uncover insights about the formation of our solar system and the possibilities of life on other planets. And one day soon, hyper-intelligent robots may even help humanity unlock some of the biggest existential mysteries of our universe, such as how it all began or the true nature of space and time. The more we expand the frontiers ofscience and knowledge using robots, the more we'll learn about the world around us and our place in it as human beings.So in summary, robots are super awesome and beneficial for tons of reasons! Their incredible capabilities help keep us safe, make difficult jobs easier, open doors to new discoveries, and provide friendship and companionship. I'm really excited to see how robots continue developing and what else they might be able to do for humanity in the future.I hope you've found this essay interesting and learned a bit more about why robots rock! Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for reading!篇3Robots: Our Helpful Metal FriendsHave you ever wished you had a robot to help you with your chores or homework? Maybe a robot that could tidy up your room, do the dishes, or even fetch you a snack from the kitchen? Well, robots are becoming smarter and more capable every day, and they may be able to assist us humans in all sorts of helpful ways very soon!What exactly is a robot? A robot is a machine that can move and do tasks automatically, without a person directly controllingit. Robots have bodies made of metal and plastic, along with computer brains that let them think and make decisions. Using sensors like cameras and lasers, robots can see and understand the world around them. Then they use their arms, wheels, or other body parts to interact with objects and people.You might have seen robots working on assembly lines in factories, building cars or electronics. But did you know robots can do many other jobs too? Some robots are being designed to work alongside humans to make our lives easier and more fun.Imagine if you had a little robot buddy to help out around the house. This robot could remind you when it's time for chores, like taking out the trash or feeding the dog. If you got stuck on a tough homework problem, your robo-pal could explain the concept in a simple way. And when playtime rolled around, you could teach your robot friend to dance, play catch, or put on silly costume shows together!Robots can even help keep people safe and healthy. Some robots are being used in hospitals to deliver supplies, medications, and food to patients. This allows nurses to focus more on caring for people instead of pushing carts all day. Other robots may one day assist doctors by getting tools ready during surgery or disinfecting rooms to prevent the spread of germs.On farms and in fields, special agricultural robots could inspect crops for problems like insect damage or dry soil. These eco-friendly robots wouldn't need to use polluting tractors or spray lots of pesticides. Instead, they could gently tend to plants one-by-one using small tool arms.Robots may also be able to lend a hand in dangerous situations that would be too risky for humans. Firefighting robots could enter burning buildings to help put out blazes and rescue people trapped inside. Rescue robots with powerful limbs could move heavy debris after disasters like earthquakes or tornados. Some robots are even being designed to explore other planets for signs of life!As you can see, robotics is an incredibly cool field of technology with so many possibilities. But robots are just machines at the end of the day. They can't develop deep feelings or form meaningful connections like humans can. But that's okay - robots don't need to replace people to be helpful. If they can assist us with difficult chores and jobs while we focus on the happier, more creative parts of life, that could make robots our new best friends!Robots that can tidy our rooms, tutor us with schoolwork, and keep us safe and healthy...it sounds almost too good to betrue! Of course, there's still a lot of work to be done to make these amazing robot helpers a reality. Engineers and programmers have to ensure robots can understand the world properly and won't accidentally cause harm or break things. Getting robots to be as intelligent and capable as humans is an enormous challenge.But I have faith that someday, robots will walk among us as friendly, hard-working partners. We just have to treat them with care and respect, like we would any helpful tool or pet. As long as humans androbots cooperate, our future together will be awesome! So let's welcome our new robotic assistants with open arms. Who's ready for a metal buddy?。
