7、l offer many hand-on activities. BI remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later. in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decide
8、d to make a bagless one.Easier said than done, of course. I didnt realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process (过程) that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机).By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627， my wife and I were really co
9、unting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. Th
10、e reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model with bags. No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight
11、 legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents (专利权) on my vacuum cleaner.I was still in financial difficulties until 1993,when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum clean
12、er became a best-seller in Britain.Today, I still accept risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention.24. What made the author design a bagless vacuum cleaner?A. His willingness to help Mom. B. His curiosity about machines.C. His boredom of doi
13、ng endless homework. D. His discontent with the cleaners of that age.25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The help from the authors wife.B.The educational problems of the family. C.

14、to license the authors technology?A.They thought they might suffer loss. B. They considered it not good enough C. They faced legal problems themselves. D. They had begun making such machines.27.What lesson can we learn from the authors experience?A.Think twice before acting.B. Failure is the mother
15、of success.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.CThe liver(肝脏) cleans the blood and helps remove poison from the body.But liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, and now researchers are developing a new form of treatment. They say it reduces t
16、he chances of harming the patient.This treatment involves the use of natural, non-poisonous chemicals from plants.That is why the researchers call it a “green” method for fighting cancer.Kattesh Katti is a professor of radiology and physics at the University of Missouris School of Medicine. For more
17、 than 10 years, he has studied the use of nanotechnology(纳米技术) to fight cancer.Nanotechnology is the science of making things unimaginably small. For this study, Katti used extremely small objects to target and destroy cancer cells in the livers of mice and human cells in the laboratory.Kattesh Katt
18、i used very small particles (颗粒) of gold. The gold was covered in a protective material. He says the particles attract cancer cells. Those cells are far more affected by lower levels of heat than healthy cells.Once the particles travel to and connect with the cells, they are heated with a laser. Tha
19、t destroys the cancer cells, but the healthy ones around them live.“The patient will be administered with these nano particles. Within a couple of hours, the patient will be treated with lasers, and then the patient can go home. So, there is no radioactivity. There is no harmful waste. There is no b
20、ad effect on the patient.”What that means is that the patient would not have the same side effects that one can have from radiation and chemotherapy(化疗).Chemotherapy drugs often are poisonous. While they kill off the cancer cells, they are also poisonous to the healthy cells and the patient can get
21、very sick.28. Why is the new form of treatment called a “green” method?A. It avoids the opportunities of hurting the patient.B. Chemicals used in treatment are natural and harmless.C. It helps clean the blood and remove poison from the body.D. Plants are directly used to treat the patient without ot

He used nanotechnology to kill cancer cells in the hospital.D. He thinks nano particles can treat cancer
23、patients more effectively 30. Whats Kattis attitude toward the new method of treatment?A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Positive. D. Worried.31. Whats the best title for the text?A. Can fighting cancer be green? B. Researchers can deal with liver cancer C. Liver cancer is not a big problem D. Which is b
24、etter, radiation or chemotherapy?DResearchers at the University of Sussex, Imperial College London and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have for the first time used game theory(博弈论) to allow robots to assist humans safely and variously.The research team used adaptive control(自适应控制)and N
25、ash equilibrium(纳什均衡)to program a robot that can understand its human users behavior in order to better foresee their movements and respond to them. The researchers believe the breakthrough could make robots help humans do things better in many areas, such as sport training, body recovery or shared
26、driving.Lead author Dr Yanan Li, Lecturer in Control Engineering at the University of Sussex, said, “It is still very early days in the development of robots and at present, those robots for work are not intuitive enough to work closely and safely with human users. By allowing the robot to identify
27、human users behavior and make use of game theory to let the robot react to them in the best way, we have developed a system where robots can work along with humans as humans do.”To successfully apply game theory to the interaction of a robot and its human users, the researchers had to overcome the p
28、roblem that the robot cannot know the humans intentions. The researchers thus had to develop a method allowing the robot to identify the human partner while safely and efficiently interacting with their motion.The reactive robotic programming system allows a robot to continuously learn the human use
29、rs control and adapt its own control accordingly. The robot is able to understand the human users action and then respond to it and help them to perform tasks successfully with minimal effort.Professor Etienne Burdet, senior author of the paper, added: “Game theory has had important influences on ec
30、onomics during the last century and lead to several Nobel prizes.”32.What can be known about the programmed robot according to paragraph 2?A. It goes out of style quickly.B. It is no better than other robots. C. It can help humans in many ways.D. It never knows its human users control goals.33.The k
31、ey to successfully applying game theory to human-robot interaction is to make robots_.A. know the humans intentions B. respond to the human users actionC. work along with humans closely and safely D. complete tasks perfectly with the least effort34. What makes it possible for robots to identify the
32、human users behavior?A. The human users hand gestures. B. The human users facial expressions. C.The method of using the game theory. D. The reactive robotic programming system.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How did game theory come into being?B. Game theory has impor
