【題目】B

Showering typically sends water down the drain, but a new space-age shower could change that. The design, inspired by NASA, saves water and money.

Astronauts have no choice but to recycle the water they use in space. Now the Orbital Systems Shower of the Future brings that concept down to Earth. This futuristic shower comes from Orbital Systems, a Swedish advanced technology company. Its CEO, Mehrdad Mahdjoubi, invented the product.

"The shower of the future is a water-recycling shower, thus enabling water savings up to 90 percent, energy savings up to 80 percent, at the same time increasing comfort and hygiene. The water is being collected in the drain, it's being analyzed, purified and then pumped back up to the shower head. So what is so special about the purification technology? Well, it's based on a patented purification capsule system that makes sure that the water is always crystal clear," he explained.

Mahdjoubi was inspired by a project between NASA and Sweden's Lund University to come up with designs for a mission to Mars. He adapted the closed-loop system that allows astronauts to re-use shower water again and again.

The product already has been tested in Sweden, where it saved up to 100,000 liters of water over four months. Based on those results, Mahdjoubi is confident his company can distribute the shower system worldwide.

"Our market is anyone who takes a shower, actually, and the biggest benefit it gives is to the market segment where the water consumption is the highest, such as bathing establishments, gyms, sports centers. Also, private households where the water consumption and the prices are high," said Mahdjoubi.

The "out of this world" design has won several business and innovation

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Have you been asked for money by some beggars who have disabilities while you’re

enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity for that kind of people or just feel afraid? For whatever reasons the number of disabled beggars bumming(行乞) along the street has increased rapidly.

Why are there so many disabled people begging in the street? The reasons are so various that we don’t need to understand. But we know that they do not lead an easy life. So we should help them in some ways.

The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First，accept them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shape of disabled. Try to treat

them equally. Because they are a part of the society.we can’t abandon them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people that would be very nice. That does good not only to disabled people but also to yourself，because you will feel good after your kind action.

So give an air of warmth to disabled people，and the world would be much better.

【題目】C

Robots are common in today's world. They manufacture cars, work in space, explore oceans, clean up oil spills and investigate dangerous environments. And now, scientists at the University of Manchester are using a robot as a laboratory partner.

The researchers at the university created the robot in 2009 and named it Adam. Despite the name, Adam is not a humanoid robot. It is about the size of a car.

Adam was built to do science and make discoveries. Ross King is the leader of the University of Manchester research team. He says the robot made a discovery about yeast(酵母), a kind of fungus(真菌) used in science as a model for human cells.

"Adam hypothesized certain functions of genes within yeast and experimentally tested these hypothesizes and confirmed them. So it both hypothesized and confirmed new scientific knowledge."

Adam's success as a scientist led to the creation of another robot scientist named Eve. Researchers developed Eve to design and test drugs for tropical and neglected diseases. These diseases kill and infect millions of people each year.

Drug development is slow and costly. Experts say it can take more than 10 years and about $1 billion to discover and develop new medicines. Drug manufacturers are unlikely to get their investment money back.

So the University of Manchester developed a low-cost test that shows whether or not a chemical is likely to be made into an effective medicine. Mr. King says that other drug testing methods were not very effective.

"How it works conventionally is you use robotics as well and you have a large collection of possible drugs. You test every single compound. And you start at the beginning of your library and continue until the end, and stop. So it's not a very intelligent process. The robotics doesn't learn anything as it goes along, even if it's tested a million compounds, it still doesn't have any expectation of what will happen next when it tests a new compound."

Mr. King says that Eve is different because the robot learns as it tests different compounds. He says the robot is designed to ignore compounds that it thinks unlikely to be good. It will only test the compounds which have a good chance of working.

Eve has discovered that a compound known to be effective against cancer might also be used to fight against malaria and other tropical diseases.

Mr. King says he hopes to completely automate the drug testing process with robots like Eve to create and test new chemicals. But he says humans remain in control of the manufacturing process.

A. manufacture cars

B. work in the laboratory

C. work in space

B. Adam's success led to the creation of Eve

C. tropical and neglected diseases diseases kill and infect millions of people

D. Drug manufacturers can get their investment money back

【4】Why was a low-cost test developed__________?

A. Because scientists want to know whether a chemical is likely to be made into an effective medicine

B. Because other drug testing methods were not very effective

C. Because drug development is slow and costly.

D. Because drug manufacturers ask scientists to do so.

【5】What's the main idea of the passage_________?

A. the uses of robots

B. robot is used in science researches

C. scientists are replaced by robots

D. how to make a robot
