    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.

    In 2002, young Elon Musk tried unsuccessfully to buy Russian rockets to help him send mice to Mars and back. Afterwards, the youngmillionaire decided to build his own rockets.
    Musk went to Southern California and started hiring people to help bring his dream to life. In a very short time, and despite some failures, his company SpaceX launched Falcon 1, the first successful privately-built liquid fuel rocket, into Earth's orbit in 2008.
    As the first Falcon rocket began testing, development was already underway for the Falcon 9. This much larger rocket, which uses nine engines to lift heavy payloads（有效载荷）into orbit, is engineered to return to Earth, ready to be reused for another flight.
    For Musk, space is the final destination. To help people get there, his company Neuralink is developing devices that will link people's brains with computers. A similar device has been developed at the University of Utah. It consists of a chip（芯片）with 256 threads（线程）that is placed between a person's skin and brain. The threads attach directly to brain tissue（脑组织）.Patients who have the device are able to use only their minds to communicate with one another through computers.
    Neuralink's chips will have about 1,000 threads. A robot developed by the company will place up to ten chips under a person's skin. The chips will communicate without wires but with a tiny device that will be worn behind the person's ear. That device, in turn, will communicate with computers. The primary market for the technology will be for people that, because of injuries or birth defects, cannot control their hands and arms. With Neuralink^ product, they'll be able to mentally command a computer to type messages for them or carry out other tasks. 4. According to this article, what was the first Falcon 1 able to do? A. Launch big satellites. B. Reach distant moons. C. Move around our planet. D. Study the universe.

    5. What does the article explain about Neuralink's chips?
    A. How they'll be set up. B. What safety features they'll have. C. How much money they'll earn. D. Where they'll be produced. 6. According to this article, who is Neuralink going to market its product to first? A. Those who own great wealth. B. Those who are physically disabled. C. Those who travel internationally. D. Those who do research on plants.
    7. In which publication is this article most likely to appear? A. The Journal of Environmental Studies. B. Advances in Business and Technology. C. Digest of Fashion and Entertainment News, D. Consumer's Guide to Outdoor Recreation.
    C

    The American poet Louise Gluck, author of 12 collections of poetry, has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Born inNew Yorkin 1943, Gluck published her first volume of poetry, “Firstborn”, in 1968, quickly gaining her reputation as a poet. In the decades since, she has become one of the country's most celebrated literary figures. Her work uses the power of myth to deal with some of our darkest human concerns. Her straightforward language always gets at the heart of deep-seated anxieties: loneliness, rejection, death ...
    Stephanie Burt,an English professor atHarvardUniversity, said, “She's someone who's been able to make
    emotion states vivid on the page... Few poets have tried as hard as she has not to repeat herself. And her strongest books are really different from one another”. “She offers poetry lovers a lot of inspiration, but she's also on a lot of bookshelves," said Chiasson, a poet, who added she is a generous reader of her fellow writers’work.
    At Yale, where Gluck is a professor of English, she served for years as judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize and worked closely with poets she chose for the prize and those she did not, helping them shape their work. “In that very practical way she's had an enormous influence on a great many figures,” said Langdon Hammer, a professor of English at Yale. “She's someone who has been a 'guiding spirit’ for generations of students, writers, and readers.”
    Gluck described teaching and writing as symbiotic. “I teach not out of selflessness or generosity: I do it because it feeds me,” she said. “It feeds them, too, so it's a happy relationship. I'm sure not all my students feel that way, but some do. I never feel that it takes me from my work: I think it gives me my work.” 12. Which of the following topics might Gluck tend to explore in her work? A. Victory. B. Divorce. C. Romance. D. Achievement.
    13. What quality does Gluck have according to the passage?
    A. Humorous and intelligent. B. Ambitious and helpful. C. Considerate and optimistic. D. Inspiring and creative. 14. What does teaching mean to Gluck?
    A. A source of wealth. B. A barrier to writing. C. A fountain of creation. D. A stepping stone to fame. 15. What is the best title for the text?
    A. A Guiding Spirit B. A Successful Pioneer C. An Adventurous Creator D. A Hardworking Writer 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
