阅读理解。 Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well not all of them. Scientists in England have built a kind of small robots that get their energy from dead flies, bad apples, or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt(猎取) garden slugs for dinner! What's up with all that food? Well, scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for a long time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor or Antarctica, don't have electrical sockets(插座). So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea: Build robots that get their energy just like animals do by hunting and eating food from their environment. One robot, called Ecobot Ⅱ, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! Of course, it'd still get a lot more power from one AA battery, though. Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot, called Ecobot III, which will have a better digestion system. It seems that after an eight fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn't deal with the leftover(剩下的) "waste". Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys, girls, and robots. 1.An ordinary robot usually . A．gets its energy from sugar B．depends on batteries to work C．can get food for itself D．can work a few minutes without energy 2.From the passage, we can infer that a slug . A．is a kind of insect B．is a kind of fish C．can't see Slugbot D．can eat Slugbot 3.What kind of robots do inventor Chris Melhuish want? A．Robots that can provide people with food. B．Robots that can work in dangerous places. C．Robots that can get energy for themselves. D．Robots that can be very small. 4.Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage? A．Robots need to work in places that have no sockets for power. B．Melhuish is not very satisfied with Ecobot Ⅱ. C．Maybe there will be three kinds of restrooms in the future. D．Ecobot Ⅱ can turn its flies into energy completely. 5.What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Robots are hard things to invent. B．Scientists are working to improve robots. C．Robots in the future need to eat food like human. D．Scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory are good at robots.

阅读与表达(问答式)。 Pranav Kalyan may seem like any other fourth grader at Willow Elementary School. He likes watching the TV show "Pokemon" and playing soccer with his friends. But the Agoura Hills student also spends up to nine hours studying computer programming. That drive helped the 9yearold to become the youngest Microsoft Certified(被证明的) Technology Specialist(专家). "I read the books and I write the code on the computers and if I don't understand what they say in the books I search it up on Google." Pranav said. The previous(以前的) record holder was a 12-year-old from Dubai. "He looks like any other little kid, acts like any other little kid, but I bet if you asked him any calculus(运算) problem he would give you the answer quickly." said Pranav's fourth grade teacher Sharlene Church. "Do you plan many activities for your son?" I asked Pranav Kalyan's father. "We don't want to push him, actually we are getting more advice from the school teachers and the headmaster and everything; we want to make sure he doesn't lose his childhood, we want him to enjoy." his father Kalyan Mohan said. When asked why he went through all the work to get certified, Pranav proves once again that he's wise beyond his years, "It's easier to get a job when I'm older." 1.What does Pranav Kalyan like doing? 2.What is Pranav Kalyan famous for? 3.Who helps Pranav Kalyan to understand the code on the computers? 4.What childhood does Pranav Kalyan's father hope his son to have? 5.Why does Pranav Kalyan think he is easy to get a job when he's older?
