Shopping centers，stadiums and universities may soon have a new tool to help fight crime.
ACaliforniacompany called Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime. Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.
William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says，\"These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has more than seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipmentthat we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement（执法）.\"
\"You want them to be machines plus humans. Let. the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work，so it's always working all together.\"
The machines do not carry weapons but they have day and night video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.
Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.
William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in theUS. Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robot security guards.
1. What can this new tool do for humans? A. Make strategic decisions. B. Keep watching day and night. C. Carry heavy weapons. D. Stop crime autonomously.
2. Why are some people worried about the new robots? A. Their privacy may be let out.
B. The robots are very expensive. C. Robots will replace humans. D. They will be out of work soon.
3. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A. Robots Are Becoming More Popular B. Robots Contribute aLotto the World C. Robots Are in Great Demand Now D. Security Robots Could Help Cut Crime
B
Cigarettes aren’t just harmful when they’re being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine (尼古丁) that an actively burning cigarette would produce.
While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out,an analysis for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later.
“I was ly surprised,” since environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). “The numbers are significant and could have important impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter.”
To measure emissions (排放) from this forgotten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2,100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends weresealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.
After setting the room’s temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days at a time, especially in the heat.
4. What do the researchers say about cigarette ends? A They contain little nicotine.
B. They produce no nicotine five days later. C. They give off nicotine for days.
D. They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes. 5. What do Poppendieck’s words suggest? A. First-hand smoking does most harm. B. The findings are within his expectation. C. Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors. D. Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.
6. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days?
A. Unclear. B. Disapproving. C. Unconcerned. D. Puzzled. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful Chemicals B. Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being Smoked C. Research Found Reasons For Cigarette Ends’ Harm D. Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the Heat

A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.
For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”.
Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.
Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.
Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.
The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.
The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives. 12. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By comparing. B. By discussing. C. By imagining. D. By reasoning. 13. Which of the following is a result of the research? A. The cyclists kept a thin body shape. B. The non-exercisers gained weight easily. C. The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age. D. The non-exercisers usually had health problems. 14. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers? A. The cyclists had normal aging process. B. The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age. C. The cyclists lost nearly all their fat. D. Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Healthy People Need More Exercise B. Take an Exercise, the Harder, the Better C. Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging D. A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging Process
