useful. researchers at oregon state university (osu) have made important progress in work that should lead toward robots that can not only walk and run very well，but use little energy at the same time.studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work，create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past，or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get “walking” abilities.“researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time，”said jonathan hurst，a professor at osu. “what weve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot.”the movement of humans and other animals is difficult to copy. using little energy，they can move easily over hard areas，and enjoy balance from musclesthey have different ways to deal with forces，such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地，坚硬地，不弯曲地)，like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride. in their recent studies，the osu researchers proved that these two abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的，独有的，独占的)humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles. for a robot，the more its able to do one of these tasks，the less able it is to do the other.presently，robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking. but this way uses a lot of energy. the osu researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance，but uses far less energy，and is closer to the abilities of animals.“so theres no reason why we shouldnt be able to build robots with good movement ability，”hurst said. “clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous situations. but i could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology.”61. what does “two abilities”( in para.4

drink seawater, how can it be important? every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. these simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. in fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. how important seawater is! each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. the algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. these food chains are delicately balanced. the bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. people once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. but we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop. thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. this is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. we depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. how important seawater is! 71. which of the following statements is true? a. overly fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock b. it is very hard to break the balance of a food chainc. an amazing number of the fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas d. it wont be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved72. what does the underlying word “delicately” mean? a. easily-damaged b. hard-broken c. simply-made d. beautifully 73. in the past, people hold
