At the age of ten he went to work. His emp
8、loyer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arri
9、ved at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers houses or their childrens education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improve
10、d the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the childrens education. In 1816, he opened the first free primary school in Britain. Peo
11、ple came from all over the country to visit Owens factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was
12、 too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money. Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. If you give people good working conditions, he thought, they will w
13、ork well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people.1. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _.A.improving workers housesB.helping people to save moneyC.preventing men from getting drunkD.providing the children with a good ed

16、do, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,Nolas lead
17、keeper Jane Kennedy said. Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans, Kennedy says.Humans have eit
18、her poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, weve taken up too much of the worlds resources. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations. Experts believe that one rhino is
19、poached every eight hours.In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying
20、the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.At the San Diego Zoo, children an
21、d adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you dont have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day.

25、he University of New South Wales in Australia, said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future. For many years, Mr. Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup, where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a footba
26、ll match. As he explains,the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own, but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney, who is one of the best football players in the world. Mr, Sammut
27、 also said, 1968. John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland, that within 10 years a computer programme would be able to beat him. It took a little bit longer than 10 years ( nearly 30 years) but eventually such programmes came into being.
28、“In the same spirit of a grand challenge,RohoCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050. To achieve this, or come even closer to the ambition, the robots will haveto be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments. This will
29、require major advances in perception(感知), decision-making, learning,and cooperativebehaviours. Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems,great advances will also be needed in sensors(传感器),energy storage, and materials.1.The RoboCup is aimed to develop robots that know how to_.A
30、.play computer football gamesB.play football and win in real matchesC.understand the rules of the football gameD.improve the skills of real football players2.What kind of difficulty are the robots facing in playing football?A.They cant run as fast as real people.B.They cant recognize their partners

68、)的配搭。此处是宾语从句,根据上下文的内容可知,表示疑问,所以用why。“要价;收费”是固定配搭。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰后面的形容词helpful,所以要用副词形式。分析句子结构可知,是特指那里顶层的VIP房间,所以用定冠词。修饰beach,并在从句中作地点状语,所以用where引导。充当表语,而且主语是人,所以用动词的-ed形式。 8答案及解析：答案： Dear Tom,Im happy to get from your letter and youre coming to China.the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, b
