高考英语复习备考：同源高考一中国科技公司研发机器狗 等3那么中国科技公司研发机器狗随着人工智能的开展，近年来，中国的机器人市场进入高速增长期，机器人产业取得 了令人瞩目的成就。中国研发的新一代阿尔法狗，行走速度可达每小时15公里，成为行走 速度最快的机器狗。It reacts quickly, obeys commands and doesn't leave unpleasant surprises on the floor. This is the Alpha Dog. The high-tech dog uses sensors and Artificial Intelligence （Al） technology to learn about its environment, and can even be taken for walks. "Its really very similar to a real dog, " says Ma Jie, chief technology officer at Weilan, the company behind the product.The robot dog, which moves at a speed of almost 15 kilometers per hour, is the fastest on the market. With four metal legs, it is more stable than a real dog. The robot can predict the friction （摩擦力）and height of the ground to adjust itself and adapt to the environment. The creators are using 5G technology, superfast Internet speeds with immediate reaction times, to make the robot operate autonomously.As China seeks to up skill its workforce, the country has been making huge investments in robotics and Al. Robots are already used to deliver parcels, serve in restaurants, offer information at stations and even take throat swabs for COVID719 tests. In the first month of sales, more than 1, 800 Alpha Dogs have been sold out, despite the high price of 16, 000 yuan. Orders are mostly from computer developers, tech geeks （科技迷）， and also kids, who really seem to like it.The Weilan workshop is staffed by young tech enthusiasts, filled with pencil design sketches and a central obstacle route of stairs and slopes for the machines to move on in testing. Developers there hope future uses of their four-legged friend could be conducive to the visually impaired. uTo help the disabled is an important developing direction for us, says Ma. "When the robot dog has the function of vision, hearing and dialogue, it can easily interact with disabled people, and lead them to the supermarket or the bus.”Future software updates will include the dog “barking“一and beyond that, even add human voices to allow conversations between pet and owner. There is also a larger enterprise dog model, designed for industrial inspections of machinery or pipes. The next generation of the Alpha Dog in pet form could also introduce personalities to make them look like dogs more, as well as extend its somewhat brief battery life.Reading Check1.

In 1906, some Frenchmen went to Haimen (now Taizhou) where they passed on Western embroidery techniques, such as carving and drawn work, to the local people. Eventually, these techniques were mixed into traditional Chinese embroidery and a unique product appeared. But TAISILK, a boutique company, is more than a replication (复制品) of old-time handicraft.“I think I'm greedy, " said Lin Xia, an inheritor of Tai Xiu and a founder of TAISILK. “I want to commercialize the production of Tai Xiu, and stick to its artistic nature/5 She believes there's a way to balance art and business.

Also, through the boutique industry, the traditional cultural heritage has become accessible to the general public.Still, Lin wasn't satisfied with that. She wanted to distinguish Tai Xiu from otherChinese embroidery. uThere5s a homogenization trend among today's embroidery products, a lack of individuality, 55 Lin said. She's been trying to put modern and abstract thoughts into the pattern designs and “jump out of the bounds of traditional embroidery”.Lines work “Web World" won the gold award of uBai Hua” Grand Award for Chinese Arts and Crafts, one of the highest awards in the field in China. In this piece of art, Lin moved away from the conventional patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects. Her insights into life and art were demonstrated through dense bone pinholes and the cobweb （蜘蛛网） embroidery technique.Over the past two decades, Lin and her team have brought Tai Xiu to a bigger world. Nowadays, TAISILK has more than 150 brick-and-mortar stores across the country and is available on ecommerce platforms.Reading Check1. What did the Frenchmen do to Tai Xiu in the early 1900s?A.

Once the koalas are located, they can be kept safe until their habitat recovers and monitored once they are released.Koalas have already been fitted with blue tooth ear tags that allow mobile phones to detect their location within 20 meters, but scientists are now working to fit solar powered ear tags with VHF transmitters （甚高步直发射机）detectable from 250 meters away. Tests have shown that drones （无人机） can map the VHF signal from the transmitters, allowing wildlife rescuers to save the koalas before a bushfire threatens them.“The ear tags are light and because they're powered by a solar panel, there is no need for a battery which needs to change every six months, “ said University of the Sunshine Coast research fellow Dr Romance Crises. uWe believe these ear tags will last for the life of the koala. As severe bushfires become more common, the VHF solar ear tag could play a crucial role in saving koalas and conserving genetic diversity/5 The research is being funded by WWF. Brave new ideas are crucial to helping restore species and landscapes and adapting to a changing climate.Macquarie University wildlife researcher Dr Alexandra Car they has also won funding to trial cardboard “habitat pods" to give small animals somewhere to hide from raptors （猛 禽）, wild cats and foxes in burnt landscapes following a bushfire. Raptors arrive within minutes after a fire, while wild cats and foxes can travel many kilometers towards fire, because they know the hunting will be excellent.The habitat pods would be made of recycled cardboard, waterproofed with beeswax, and will break down naturally over about 12 months, leaving no trace. This idea could help small native animals persist following fires, allowing for a more rapid recovery.Reading Check1. What are scientists working on?A. Improving koalas habitat.B. Offering koalas more bread.C. Preventing a bushfire from breaking out.D. Discovering a fast way of locating koalas in a bushfire.2. Whafs the solar powered ear tags advantage?A. They have a lower cost. B. They can last for six months.C. They can work in a wider range. D. They are preferred by the koalas in trouble.3. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?A. The enemies of koalas.B. Resources needed to survive bushfires.C. Ways of avoiding being burnt by bushfires.D. The reason for building habitat pods.4. In which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?A. Animal. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Business.Language StudyI .
