Earlier this week, 23 robots from all over the world competed in California, for a $ 2 million prize in the DARPA Robotics Challenge. Teams have been working on these robots for three years—their challenge was to build a robot that can help after an earthquake or other natural disasters. The rules are simple—each robot has one hour to score eight points for different tasks, which include driving a car or opening a door. Every team has people in a separate garage(车库), sitting around big screens and controlling their own robots. Across the garage stands Carnegie Mellon’s bright red robot, CHIMP. “It has arms and hands but it moves around on these tracks,” said Tony Stentz, team leader of Team Tartan Rescue(救援). “CHIMP can go from upright to all-fours in just a few seconds. Weighing at 440 pounds, CHIMP seems certain to win in the competition,” he said.
During the early drive, CHIMP almost went into the barricade(障碍物) when it was slowly getting out of the car, but once it made out, and opened the door, it dropped to the ground in the doorway. For all the other teams, a fall means that humans have to step in and get the robot back on its feet. But about five minutes later, CHIMP got back without any help.
The team didn’t get any points for that move, but getting back from a fall would come in pretty handy in a disaster area. And CHIMP still completed all the tasks in under an hour. “What a bang-up job!” Tony Stentz said as he received handshakes and high-fives(举手击掌) from the crowd.
Though CHIMP was clearly the winner on the first day of finals, it ran into lots of trouble on the second day and ended up in third place. Team KAIST, from South Korea, took the $2 million prize; Florida-based Team IHMC Robotics came in second and won $1 million. “After two days, hopefully we’re all a step closer to making humans safer after disasters,” added Tony Stentz. 38. Which team finally won the first prize in the competition?
A. Team Tartan Rescue B. Team KAIST C. Team IHMC D. We don’t know. 39. The underlined word “bang-up” in paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. wonderful B. difficult C. terrible D. dangerous 40. From the passage, we can know ______________.
A. Tony Stentz was angry with the robot CHIMP in the competition. B. All the robots were just required to be able to drive a car or open a door. C. CHIMP could get back on its feet by itself after falling down. D. CHIMP was no doubt the best robot in the competition. 41. In which magazine can we most probably read this article?
A. Unknown World B. Travelling Guide C. Disaster Rescue D. Science Dream
D
As we walked down towards the shore, Ben Gunn told his story.“I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton(骷髅), I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave, so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, When Long John Silver and his men
came looking for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me time to get back to the squire(乡绅) and doctor. They were waiting at the cave.” “Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then,” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade(木寨). We could then get some stores from it.” When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers(反叛者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went into the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure----a pile of gold coins. “Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’t think you or I will be going to sea again.” That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols(手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened. But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way. 42. Who found the treasure?
A. Jim B. Ben Gunn C. Long John Silver D. Three mutineers 43. Why did the doctor give the map to Long John Silver?

B. Ben Gunn had taken the treasure away and the map was useless by then. C. His plan was to get Long John Silver and his men to come to the stockade.. D. He wanted Long John Silver to get some stores for him.. 44. Where was the squire waiting?

A. Ben Gunn explained the treasure and the cave.
B. The three mutineers were afraid to fight with the doctor and his men because the doctor had pistols and more men. C. Jim, the doctor, the squire, Long John Silver and Ben Gunn left the three mutineers on the island and went back to Bristol with the treasure. D.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填写表格，每空限填一词。
We all have good habits and bad habits and everyone wants to give up bad habits. A habit is an activity that we have got used to. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become our favourite lifestyle.
We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you.
Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give it up.
Find out the bad influence that bad habits have brought you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the plan of your whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it up.
