Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too. Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves. Whats behind this new robot revolution? Its partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more able. A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinary family. To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certainwhen these robots do come into our homes, it will change things forever.21. The underlined part “flying off the shelves” in the second paragraph means_. A. Selling well. B.

But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation(睡眠不足).Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Browns business and engineering schools. They began thinking about ways to sleep better. They discovered they werent alone in burning the midnight oil. Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night.The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative(有恢复作用的) stages of the sleep cycle: REM (rapid eye movement) and deep sleep. What would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists.Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009. The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors(传感器) that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states-REM, light, deep and waking sleep. The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as youre not in REM sleep. In the morning you can upload the data to the companys Web site, and so track your sleep over time. Most of the feedback(反馈) comes in the form of Zeos ZQ score showing how well youve slept.“Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep,” says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO.Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 P.M.For now the company is selling Zeo online only. Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels.27. Who will support Zeo? A. People full of imagination. B. People suffering sleeping problems. C. People having access to the Internet. D. People having bad lifestyles.28. Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock? A. To wake them up on time in the morning. B. To earn enough money for their study. C. To improve the quality of peoples sleep. D. To enjoy their life while working at night.29. To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students _. A. spent much time and money B. were widely supported by scientists C. worked by themselves all the time D. attracted many investors30. What can we know from the passage? A. Zeo has a direct effect on users lifestyles. B. It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better. C. A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia. D. Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Different groups around the world are working to expand the uses for mobile technology in health care. In the world, there are six billion mobile phone users in a population of seven billion people. 31 Africa has widespread adoption. Three or four years ago the penetration(渗透) rates were 20 percent or 30 percent, and now theyre getting upwards of 60 percent in some countries. 32 Earlier research had been to look at mobile technologies and AIDS.

It brought together experts from what the organizers call the mHealth ecosystem. In 2011 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton started a public/private partnership called the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action, or MAMA.

These health messages may also be sent to a pregnant womans husband and mother-in-law. 34 . Messages can be text or voicemail. You can have a pregnant woman in Bangladesh registered into a system that provides messages that help her know what to do and when to do certain things. Simple text messages can be important sources of information to people without Internet access. 35 They have to be able to read through thousands of entries that come back to them on Google, for example, and then figure out what that information means to them. And thats not something that someone in a poor and uneducated kind of situation can do. A. That way they too can understand what needs to be done.B.
