A robot called Budgee can help.Budgee, made by 5 Elements Robotics, is literally a basket on wheels.It is designed to help elderly and disabled people, or simply anyone who doesnt have enough arms for grocery bags, Wired magazine reported.It can carry up to 22.7 kg of items.To make Budgee follow them, its owner will have to wear a small device and use an app to set the distance between themselves and the robot.Budgee even sends a text message when it cant keep up with its owner.“I want you to look at the robot like hes your buddy, hes your friend.Theres a relationship you develop with the robot,” Wendy Roberts, CEO of 5 Elements Robotics, told .It might not be quite the same as robotic assistants weve seen in movies such as Disneys Wall-E, where robots cater for our every need, but that idea doesnt seem quite so far-fetched now.59.The drone developed by a US-based company can .A.fly around you and take videos from aboveB.decide who to put in the center of the frameC.be used to take pictures and make phone callsD.keep working for 15 minutes in any conditions60.According to the article, Budgee is most likely to be targeted at .A.staff in supermarketsB.elderly and disabled peopleC.those who love action sportsD.celebrities who need a close buddy61.The main purpose of the article is to .A.tell the reader about two new types of robotsB.urge people to buy the drone and BudgeeC.call on people to develop relationships with robotsD.analyze why the two types of robots can lead a trendCARNOLD Schwarzenegger is back, once again taking on his iconic killer robot role, the T-800, in Augusts new movie Terminator Genisys.While the T-800 modeleven if it can be evilhas a fond place in moviegoers hearts, the reality of autonomous machines is no joke, according to scientists. Autonomous weapons use artificial intelligence (AI) to choose targets without human help.They were described as “the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms” in an open letter signed by over 1,000 important technology figures in July.The list included British scientist Stephen Hawking and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.They asked governments around the world to ban autonomous weapons, warning that killer robots could start ethnic cleansings and an arms race. “They will look like tanks.They will look like battleships.They will look like jet fighters,” UK robotics professor Noel Sharkey told CNET, a leading technology website. But unlike these machines, which require a human hand in their action, so-called “killer robots” would have some decision-making abilities and the ability to act on their own. “If any major military power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is almost inevitable,” said the letter released at the 2015 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The idea of an automated killing machine was made famous by Schwarzeneggers first Terminator movie in 1984.While no red-eyed robots have been sent after human beings, the idea of AI being used as a weapon has gotten much more likely in the years ever since.The US military is already developing autonomous flying vehicles that can carry out all the steps of a strike mission without a human controlling them, according to a May report in Nature magazine. Scientists have even painted a destructive picture of autonomous weapons falling into the hands of terrorists or warlords hoping to carry out ethnic cleansings. “The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” Hawking said to the BBC in 2016. Authorities are gradually waking up to the risk of robot wars.Last May, for the first time, the United Nations brought governments together to begin talks on autonomous weapons systems. Still, a ban on autonomous weapons is “easier said than done”, commented The Guardian.The dual (双重的) uses of the AI technologyfor harm and for goodis difficult to manage.This is because the exact same technology can be used in a wide range of ways, the paper said.62.What is the authors main purpose in writing the text? A.To analyze why the T-800 model appeals to moviegoers. B.To promote Schwarzeneggers new movie Terminator Genisys. C.To explore the development and impact of autonomous machines. D.To show that the technology shown in science fiction can become a reality.63.What is the unique characteristic of autonomous weapons? A.They are able to select targets very quickly and accurately.B.They are driven by artificial intelligence instead of humans.C.They are killing machines more powerful than tanks and battleships.D.They are red-eyed robots able to carry out all kinds of strike missions.64.The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A.to be expectedB.to be improvedC.to be preventedD.to be controlled65.What is scientists attitude toward autonomous weapons? A.They could be used to fight against terrorists in the future.B.Their decision-making abilities should be further developed.C.They could bring a huge disaster to the human race if they are not banned.D.They should replace gunpowder and nuclear arms in future wars.DIt was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light.In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference.The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him.“Last week he tried to commit suicide,” one waiter said. “Why?” “He was in despair.” “What about?” “Nothing.” “How do you know it was nothing?” “He has plenty of money.”They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe and looked at the terrace where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind.A girl and a soldier went by in the street.The stree
