18、 of a development that will increase the power of the Internet tremendously：2The Internet is an interconnected(互联)system of networks that, connects computers round the world and facilitates the transmission and exchange of information. The way that you use the internet is by accessing this network.

19、This depends on the power that your system allows you to use. The power of your computer is responsible for how fast you can download(下载)files，how much data you can store，etc. If your computer is old and slow, accessing the information can be very difficult.3The new development in information techno

Accessing the information will no longer depend on the pow

21、er of your computer. The idea is that while you access information, you will also have access to the power of the bigger computer stations.40ne advantage of this revolutionary idea is that geographical location will become irrelevant. The grid will decide which are the best parts of a worldwide netw

22、ork to do the lob you want. This means that you may be accessing a computer in Japan to solve a problem in Alaska.5The grid can be compared to having an efficient personal assistant. You can give your assistant a task and he will do it for you. The assistant will do the preliminary research, collect

23、 the data. Compare them and decide on the best course of action by accessing any of the computer centres in the grid that happen to have the relevant information. All you have to do is assign the task, sit back and wait.6At present，possible applications of the grid in scientific research are being e

These are seemingly simple activities that the majority of us dont question. But an international

28、 team of researchers, including Dr. Richmond from GWs Columbian College of Arts and Sciences，have discovered that human walking upright, may have originated millions of years ago as an adaptation to carrying scarce, high- quality resources. The team of researchers from the U. S., England, Japan and

29、Portugal investigated the behavior of modern-day chimpanzees as they competed for food resources，in an effort to understand what ecological settings would lead a large ape one that resembles the 6 million-year old ancestor we shared in common with living chimpanzees to walk on two legs.“These chimpa

30、nzees provide a model of the ecological conditions under which our earliest ancestors might have begun walking on two legs, ，said Dr. Richmond.The research findings suggest that chimpanzees switch to moving on two limbs instead of four in situations where they need to monopolize a resource. Standing

31、 on two legs allows them to carry much more at one time because it frees up their hands. Over time，intense bursts of bipedal activity may have led to anatomical changes that in turn became the subject of natural selection where competition for food or other resources was strong.Two studies were cond

32、ucted by the team in Guinea. The first study was conducted by the team in Kyoto Universitys “ outdoor laboratory ” in a natural clearing in Bossou Forest. Researchers allowed the wild chimpanzees access to different combinations of two different types of nut the oil palm nut，which is naturally widel

33、y available, and the coula nut, which is not. The chimpanzees behavior was monitored in three situations:(a) when only oil palm nuts were available,(b)when a small number of coula nuts were available，and(c) when coula nuts were the majority available resource.When the rare coula nuts were available

34、only in small numbers, the chimpanzees transported more at one time. Similarly, when coula nuts were the majority resource, the chimpanzees ignored the oil palm nuts altogether. The chimpanzees regarded the coula nuts as a more highly-prized resource and competed for them more intensely.In such high

35、-competition settings，the frequency of cases in which the chimpanzees started moving on two legs increased by a factor of four. Not only was it obvious that bipedal movement allowed them to carry more of this precious resource, but also that they were actively trying to move as much as they could in

36、 one go by using everything available 一even their mouths.The second study, by Kimberley Hockings of Oxford Brookes University, was a 14-month study of Bossou chimpanzees crop-raiding, a situation in which they have to compete for rare and unpredictable Resources. Here, 35 percent of the chimpanzees

37、activity involved some sort of bipedal movement, and once again, this behavior appeared to be linked to a clear attempt to carry as much as possible at one time.31. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the first two paragraphs? A Many people question the simple human activities

38、 of walking and carrying items.B Chimpanzees behaviors may suggest why humans walk on two legs.C Human walking upright is viewed as an adaptation to carrying precious resources.D Our ancestors ecological conditions resembled those of modern-day chimpanzees.32. Dr. Richmond conducted the experiment w

39、ith the purpose of findingA when humans began walking on two legs.B what made our ancestors walk upright.C what benefits walking upright brought to our ancestors.D how walking upright helped chimpanzees monopolize resources.33. Kyoto, Universitys study discovered that chimpanzees.A regarded both typ

40、es of nut as priced resources.B preferred oil palm nuts to coula nuts.C liked coula nuts better than oil palm nuts.D ignored both types of nut altogether.34. Why did the chimpanzees walk on two limbs during Kyoto Universitys experiment?A Because they imitated the human way of walking just for fun.B

41、Because they wanted to please the researchers to get more coula nuts from them.C Because they wanted to get to die nut-rich forest faster by walking that way.D Because they wanted to carry more nuts with two free limbs.35. What can we infer from the reading passage?A Chimpanzees are in the same proc

42、ess of evolution as our ancestors were.B Chimpanzees are similar to humans in many behaviors.C Walking on two limbs and walking on four limbs each have their advantages.D Human walking on two legs developed as a means of survival第二篇Real-World RobotsWhen you think of a robot，do you imagine a shiny. m

43、etallic device having the same general shape as a human being，performing humanlike functions，and responding to your questions in a monotone(单调的)voice accentuated(强调)by high-pitched tones and beeps? This is the way many of us imagine a robot, but in the real world a robot is not humanoid at all. Inst

44、ead a robot often is a voiceless. Box-shaped machine that efficiently carries out repetitive or dangerous functions usually performed by humans. Todays robot is more than an automatic machine that performs one task again and again. A modern robot is programmed with varying degrees of artificial inte

45、lligence。that is，a robot contains a computer program that tells it how to perform tasks associated with human intelligence. Such as reasoning，drawing conclusions，and learning from past experience.A robot does not possess a human shape for the simple reason that a twolegged robot has great difficulty

46、 remaining balanced. A robot does. however。move from place to place on wheels and axles(轮轴)that roll and rotate. A robot even has limbs that turn round and move in combination with joints and motors. To find its way in its surroundings，a robot utilizes various built-in sensors. Antennae attached to

47、the robots base detect anything they bump into. If the robot starts to shake as it moves on an incline，a gyroscope(陀螺仪)inside it senses the vertical differential. To determine its distance from an object and how quickly it will reach the object, the robot bounces beams of laser light and ultrasonic

48、sound waves off obstructions(障碍物)in its path. These and other sensors constantly feed information to the computer，which then analyzes the information and corrects or adjusts the robots actions. As science and technology advance，the robot too will progress in its functions and use of artificial intelligence programs.36
