Robots seem very new to most people. But they have a long history.

The first one was made by a Greek inventor. You may have seen robots in some films. The robots in these films are stronger，faster and cleverer than people. In real life，most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous，difficult or boring jobs. Some people can't look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example，some people can't see. Many of these people use a dog to help themselves move around. This dog is called a guide dog. Scientists are making a robot to help them. In the future，robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.

Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital，a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people's rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system.

In the future，robots will work in space. But robots will never take the place of human. They can，however，help us in a lot of different ways.

四、六选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

（2021秋•中山区期末）What Is Coral？

The corals that form reefs aren't rocks or plants.Corals are made up of groups of tiny animals called polyps（PAH﹣lips）.Most polyps are smaller than a pea.Thousands of polyps car live on a piece of coral.

Where Do Corals Live？

Coral reefs need certain living conditions to stay healthy. （1）　   　 They need healthy algae（藻类）for food.Both coral and algae need water that is the right temperature.

Coral reefs can be damaged easily.

Fresh water that comes from rivers can kill coral.Dirt and debris can clog them.Heavy waves from large storms can break reefs apart.

（2）　   　

Coral reefs are very fragile.Both disease and human activities damage reefs.Other harmful bacteria（细菌）attack the algae.If the coral can't eat the algae，the coral starts to starve.If the bacteria arc stopped，the coral can recover（复原）.Without enough algae to eat the coral will die.If the coral dies，the reef will die.

Humans cause most coral reef damage.Some people fish with poisons（毒药）and explosives（炸药）.Boats and ships break off large parts of reefs.Boats can leak（渗漏）gas and oil.Gas and oil leaks harm coral，plants，and fish .

Protect the coral reefs.

Coral reefs are beautiful.Reefs are also valuable.Reefs help protect coasts from storms and floods.Much of the world's supply of fish lives around reefs.The fish depend on the reefs for their food.Many reef plants and animals also have other uses.Some are used for medicines.

Many countries try to protect their reefs.They have written laws and rules.（3）　   　

Almost 25 percent of the world's reefs have been destroyed.More than half of the rest are damaged.We can all do things to help protect the reefs.We can help even if we don't live near an ocean.

（4）　   　 Learn about what people do that makes ocean temperatures rise.Learn what we do that makes bacteria grow.We can all help protect coral reefs.Then all the living things on coral reefs will continue to have homes and food.
