The huge rbt Hadrian X can lay a residential (住宅的) huse frm the grund up n site in a safer, faster and cheaper way.
Hadrian X is nt the first large-scale utdr cnstructin rbt. The truble is that nthing’s happening utdrs. That’s because sme weather cnditins like wind, rain and temperature variatins can make life difficult fr rbts utdrs. Mst rbts can’t adjust t small, quick changes in wind r temperature, which may lead t bricks being laid way ut f psitin and get very dangerus. S nw, any rbt building has t be indrs in minutely cntrlled envirnments.
Hadrian X has vercme this prblem using the precisin (精确) technlgy Dynamic Stabilisatin Technlgy (DST). The cmputer prgram measures envirnmental factrs at a surprising rate f 2000 times per secnd, and then accunts fr them in real time. Cmbine that with a 3-D printer style building prcess based n CAD mdelling, and yu’ll get a rbt that can lay bricks with a margin f errr f just 1 millimetre and is much mre precise than a human wrker.
Hadrian X has gt ther things ging fr it than just precise, thugh. It’s als 15 t 20 times faster than human builders, and the use f CAD mdelling reduces waste because every brick is planned and calculated. Plus, it remves the need fr humans wrking at heights and in intensive labur. These aspects shuld lead t vastly reduced husing csts. Mike, CEO f Fastbrick Rbtics, calls it a “scial husing slutin”.
Fastbrick’s technlgical innvatins (创新) may be pineering. but that desn’t mean it’ll all be smth sailing. Bricklaying is an ld industry as ld as the ldest cities we knw f. In terms f technique, there will nt be a lt t change. After 5,000 years f ding the same thing, such a big change is sure t meet with sme resistance and challenges. “All the cncerns can be remved by the ptential rewards because everybdy wants this t wrk... It’s an amazing thing t wrk in an rganizatin where yu have glbal supprt t be successful,” Mike said.
8．What was the disadvantage f previus utdr cnstructin rbts?
A．They failed t wrk well due t envirnmental factrs.
B．They were restricted t building small structures.
C．They were unable t avid the dangers f cnstructin.
D．They wuld break dwn easily in rainy weather.
9．Hw can DST ensure Hadrian X’s wrking accurately?
A．By cnnecting it with a 3-D printer.
B．By creating CAD mdels with human wrkers.
C．By perating it with a respnsible and experienced wrker.
D．By reminding it t adjust the bricks’ psitins in time.
10．What d Mike’s wrds in the last paragraph imply?
A．He is ging t imprve ld bricklaying skills.
B．The new technlgy challenges traditinal beliefs.
C．He is psitive abut Fastbrick Rbtics’ future.

（22-23高一下·江苏徐州·期中）A satellite is abut t demnstrate a new way f capturing space junk with magnets fr the first time. With the frequency f space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the ptential fr a disastrus cllisin abve Earth is cntinually grwing. Nw, Japanese rbital clean-up cmpany Astrscale is testing a ptential slutin.
The firm’s End-f-Life Services by Astrscale demnstratin missin is scheduled t lift ff n 20 March abard a Russian Syuz rcket. It cnsists f tw spacecraft: a smaller “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, r “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allws the chaser t dck with it.
The tw stacked spacecraft will perfrm three tests nce in rbit, each f which will invlve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a shrt distance away and then being recaptured. In the secnd test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling befre catching up with it and matching its mtin t grab it.
Finally, if thse tw tests g well, the chaser will live up t its name by letting the client satellite flat a few hundred metres away befre finding it and attaching t it. All f these tests will be perfrmed autnmusly, with little t n human input nce they are set in mtin.
“These kinds f demnstratins have never been dne befre in space — they are very different t, say, an astrnaut cntrlling a rbtic arm n the Internatinal Space Statin,” says Jasn Frshaw at Astrscale UK. “This is mre f an autnmus missin.” At the end f the tests, bth spacecraft will burn up in Earth’s atmsphere.
If cmpanies wanted t use this capability, they wuld have t attach a magnetic plate t their satellites s they culd be captured later. Because f the grwing space garbage prblem, many cuntries nw require firms t have a way t bring back their satellites nce they run ut f fuel r fail, s this culd be a fairly simple likely plan, Frshaw says. Right nw, each chaser can nly nab ne satellite, but Astrscale is wrking n a versin that culd drag three r fur ut f rbit at nce.
12．Which f the fllwing can replace the underlined wrd “dck with” in Paragraph 2?
A．Jin tgether.B．Keep up with.
C．Deal with.D．Crash.
13．Why many cuntries nw require firms t have a way t bring back their satellites?
A．Because they can earn large prfits frm it.
B．Because the frequency f space launches are dramatically increasing.
C．Because f the grwing space waste prblem.
D．Because Astrscale has fund a new methd f capturing the space garbage.
14．What will Astrscale d t slve the space junk prblem?
A．An astrnaut cntrls a rbtic arm n the Internatinal Space t capture the “client” satellite.
B．Thrugh a magnetic plate remtely cntrlled by humans n the grund t catch the “client” satellite.
C．Tumbling t match the mtin f “client” satellite the drag three r fur satellites ut f its rbit int atmsphere.
D．Finding the “client” satellite and attaching t it with a magnetic plate autmatically.
15．What can we infer frm the passage?
A．peple will burn the space junk up in Earth’s atmsphere in the future.
B．the demnstratin missin will be divided int three phases.
C．These kinds f demnstratins have never been dne befre.
D．Japan and Russia will cnduct space debris cleanup experiment tgether.
（22-23高一下·陕西渭南·期中）Whether it’s a tricky maths prblem r an unexpected bill, life is full f stressful experiences. Nw researchers have fund that humans prduce a different dur (气味) when under pressure and dgs can sniff it ut.
While previus studies have suggested dgs might pick up n human emtins, pssibly thrugh smell, questins remained ver whether they culd detect (察觉) stress and if this culd be dne thrugh scent.
Writing in the jurnal Pls One, Clara Wilsn, a PhD student at Queens University Belfast and the first authr f the research, and her clleagues reprt hw they first cnstructed a stand bearing three cntainers, each tpped by a lid with hles. The researchers were able t train fur dgs t pint ut the cntainer that was hlding a particular breath and sweat sample taken at a different time f day, even when the lineup included unused gauze (纱布).
With the team cnfident that the dgs understd the apprach, they turned t breath and sweat samples frm 36 peple wh had been asked: t cunt backwards frm 9,000 in units f 17. The participants reprted feeling stressed by the task and fr the 27 wh carried it ut in the lab, their bld pressure and heart rate rse.
The dgs were taught t pick ut samples taken just after the task frm a lineup that included tw cntainers hlding unused gauze. The researchers then tested whether the dgs culd d the same when the lineup included nt nly unused gauze but samples taken frm the same participant just befre the task, when they were mre relaxed. Each set f samples was shwn t a single dg in 20 trials. The results shw that the dgs chse the “stressed” sample in 675 ut f the 720 trials.
“It was pretty amazing t see them be s cnfident in telling me ‘npe, these tw things definitely smell different’,” said Wilsn. While it was unclear what chemicals the dgs were picking up n, the study shws humans prduce a different dur when stressed. Wilsn said it was pssible that even untrained pet dgs might detect changes in dur when a human became stressed.
16．What did dgs detect human emtins by accrding t previus studies?
A．Smell.B．Taste.C．Expressin.D．Hearing.
17．Why did the researchers use three cntainers at first?
A．T have the dgs mre cnfused.B．T hld the breath mre stably.

Recently abut 300 wmen went t a clthes swap at a high schl in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crwd ever fr the area’s ppular clthing-swapping grup.
Daphne Steinberg was having a gd day. “Fr anyne wh knws Ann Taylr LOFT, Ann Taylr is a really nice wmen’s designer and I will ttally wear this t wrk. S I lve that, I lve that I can equip myself fr wrk, have a gd time in ding it, nt ttally bankrupt myself.”
Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clthes are finding new hmes instead f being thrwn away “Because it helps t keep the Earth green. There’s n pint in my pinin in cntinuing t buy new clthes when we can reuse what’s already here. Give it a new hme-let smebdy else lve what yu used t lve and n lnger lve.”

Hwever, there is ne special exceptin, sme say: the s-called walking palm tree (棕桐树) was fund in the rainfrests f Central and Suth America. Many peple believe it can really walk arund. This is because f its unusual rt system: while mst trees have ne trunk, the palm breaks int many smaller rts a few feet ff the grund, giving it the appearance f many little legs.
The amazing walking ability f the palm tree has always been tld by rainfrest guides t turists fr years, and appears in many surces f dcuments as an amazing plant adaptatin. As jurnalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her bk Curius Flks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching fr the perfect B-mvie (小成本电影) plant her culd take inspiratin frm the walking palm. The tree slwly walks frm shade t sunlight by grwing new rts tward the light.”
A tree that walks in search f the sun is a fascinating, strange stry. And it’s nt true either; the tree is real enugh, but it desn’t walk. It sits where it began t grw, nt mving except under the frce f wind r an axe.
Bilgist Gerard Avals is ne f the wrld’s tp experts n the palm tree. His analysis f the plant and its rts shws that the walking tree can’t walk because its rts dn’t mve. A few rts n ne side r anther may die ff, but the trunk itself remains, well, rted t the spt.
“My paper prves that the belief f the walking palm is just a myth,” Avals said. “Thinking that a palm tree culd actually track the sunlight changes by mving slwly ver the frest flr… is a myth that turist guides find amusing t tell visitrs t the rainfrest.”

“We fllw a team fr an entire seasn, recrding GPS data during training and matches, “Rssi explains. He then uses machine learning t try t detect patterns. “This gives us the prbability that a player will get injured in the next days r next weeks. ”
These data reveal an athlete’s wrklad-hw ften they train and hw intensely. Just enugh training can pave the way t medals, ut t much puts pressure n the bdy and can lead t injuries.
Sprt is gradually entering a new era, in which artificial intelligence might act as an assistant cach. Algrithms (算法)culd enable a teenager t train smarter and avid a career-ending injury. r help a prfessinal athlete t cmpete fr a few years lnger. But the technlgy’s success depends, in part, n the ability f data scientists t cnvince caches t include data in their decisin-prcess.

Yet nt every cach is happy t jin frces with AI. “Caches smetimes dn’t feel gd, because it seems like trying t substitute the human element, ” Rssi says. But in reality, data is nly a tl. “The interpretatin f the results, the change f the training lad, is dne by caches, “ he says.
McHugh agrees that peple have t make the final call. “Once the injury prbability fr an athlete n a given day is utput frm an injury mdel. the athlete r cach must then decide whether the predicted risk is acceptable r nt, usually depending n the cntext,” he says. There might be a big game that day, and the player might be especially imprtant t the team. “Even thugh the predicted injury prbability may be as high as 70%, the cach may be willing t take that chance,” he says.
