Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than tools. For example, these robots will be able to tell when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more correctly to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesnt just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The companys “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not meant to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.21. How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.22. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and send milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.23. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will _. A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers24. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots.BSleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of piling on the pounds, a study shows. A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was “light enough to see across” at night, However, they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as: Light enough to read. Light enough to see across the room, but not read. Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room. Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.Prof. Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC: “In this very large group of people there is anassociation between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity. But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight. There might be other explanations for the association, but the findings are intriguing enough to guarantee further scientific investigation.”The light is disrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night. Light alters mood, physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24-hour cycle. Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin（褪黑素）.Prof. Derk-Jan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker. He told the BBC: “People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom. I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker.” Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical equipment such as televisions could light a room, he said. “Overall this study points to the importance of darkness,” he concluded.25.The passage mainly tells us_.A. bright bedrooms link to obesity B. dark bedrooms link to obesityC. people should turn off lights D. people should buy thicker curtains26. What does the underlined word “disrupt” (Paragraph 4) mean?A. stop. B. disturb C. improve. D. recover.27. Whats Prof. Derk-Jan Dijks attitude towards the dark room?A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Favorable.CUniversity Room RegulationsApproved and Prohibited ItemsThe following items are approved for use in residential rooms: electric blankets, hair dryers, personal computers, radios, televisions and DVD players.

Instead, Trump is famous for being bad-tempered, arrogant and hateful toward those who disagree with him. He also hates immigrants, both from Latin America and the Middle East, for many problems in the US. This has caused a dangerous division in the countrya country made up of many various races. But to his supporters, the fact that Trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages. His habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a hypocrite like many politicians are. “We have seen our country take a downturn in the eyes of the world. We need to go in a different direction, ” Binyomin Weisswasser, 39, a man from Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. “Trumps not a politician. I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. You may not like it, but you know what it is.” But interestingly, many who elected Trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils” principleone that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant optionssimply because they didnt think Clinton was a better choice. “Hes the candidate I disagree less with, ” Jack Stucky, 20, a student at Norwestern University, told the Chicago Tribune. “I dont think Id say Donald Trump is going to be the best president ever, but I did think hed be better than Hillary Clinton.” Its true that the US is entering a new age. Its just not clear yet what kind of age its going to be.32. Whats the difference between Trump and any president before him?A.He knew little about politics before the presidential election.B.He didnt try to keep a perfect public image.C.He gained popularity by his bad reputation.D.He is not always politically correct and speaks his mind.33. The underlined words “a hypocrite” is closely related in meaning to _.A. a dishonest personB. a caring person C. a shy personD. a selfish person34. Whats the main idea of the passage?A.It reports on peoples different views on Trumps victory in the election.B.It explores the advantages Trump has over Hillary in the election.C.It predicts what changes Trump will bring to theUS.D.It analyzes the reasons for Trumps victory in the election.35. Which of the following statements is true? A. Most people agree with Donald Trump political ideas.B. Hillary Clinton hasnt entered American political circle.C. America will have a brighter future after Donald Trump being elected.D. Some Americans holds the idea that many countries think American economy is becoming weaker.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最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Green: More than just a colourGreen is an important colour in nature.
