If yu’re hmeless and lking fr a temprary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit frm a rbtic plice dg that will scan yur eyes t make sure yu dn’t have a fever. That’s just ne f the ways public safety agencies are starting t use Spt, a new rbt that runs arund with quick mvement.
The plice fficials experimenting with the fur-legged machines say they’re just anther tl t keep emergency respnders ut f harm’s way as they search fr dangers.
Jseph O’Neal, an fficer f the Hnlulu Plice Department, said the rbt has prtected fficers, shelter staff and residents by scanning bdy temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where hmeless peple culd quarantine (隔离) and get tested fr COVID-19. The rbt is als used t remtely interview individuals wh have tested psitive.
The cmpany that makes the rbts, Bstn Dynamics, says it’s trying t d a gd jb f explaining t the public and its custmers what Spt can and cannt d. “One f the mst difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state f the technlgy t peple wh have never had persnal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president f the cmpany.
There are rughly 500 Spt rbts nw in the wild. Perry said they’re cmmnly used by cmpanies t check dangerus areas. Spt is als used t mnitr cnstructin sites, mines and factries, equipped with whatever sensr is needed fr the jb.
It’s still mstly cntrlled by humans, thugh all they have t d is tell it which directin t g and it can climb stairs r crss ver rugh areas. It can als perate autnmusly, but nly if it’s already memrized a rad and there aren’t t many surprise bstacles (障碍). “The first value that mst peple see in the rbt is taking a persn ut f a dangerus situatin,” Perry said.
28. What d plice fficials use Spt rbts d?
A. Treat patients’ fever.
B. Find ut patients’ eye prblems.
C. Prtect hmeless peple.
D. Take peple’s bdy temperature.

B. The functin f the rbtic plice dg.
C. The future develpment f the rbts.
D. The characteristic f the fur-legged machine.
30. What’s the cmpany’s big challenge?
A. Hw t describe the technlgy.
B. Hw t win its custmers’ trust.
C. Hw t prmte Spt rbts.
D. Hw t prduce mre Spt rbts.

Cmmercial airlines alne cntribute arund 3 percent f ttal glbal carbn emissins. But the industry is actively lking fr green slutins in the frm f sustainable (可持续发展的) airline fuel, and in ne case, that fuel may have had a previus life as yur husehld fd waste. In a study released this week in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences, researchers detail a methd f transfrming fd waste int sustainable airline fuel.
Bimass (生物质), such as animal and fd waste, can be transfrmed int bifuels, which are renewable liquid fuels made frm rganic matter. Derek Vardn, a senir research engineer at the Natinal Renewable Energy Labratry (NREL), says that their fuel wrked as a mixture f 90 percent cnventinal petrl airline fuel and 10 percent alternative airline fuel required by the industry currently. They als shw they culd push it t a 70/30 mixture with mre time and testing available.
Majr cmpanies are eager t participate in sustainable airline fuel because sme sustainable
slutins, such as battery-perated cmmercial planes, just aren’t pssible yet with current battery technlgy. A battery-pwered plane wuld be t heavy t fly lng distances, s fuel that wrks in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way t trade ut emissin-heavy fssil fuels.
Vardn says that because the wet waste used in the prcess wuld nrmally g t a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and break dwn t release greenhuse gases, the prcess f making and using sustainable airline fuel culd actually have a negative carbn ftprint when scaled up.
Cmmercial airlines are als n bard t find an affrdable and sustainable slutin t the carbn-intensive prcess f air travel. Airlines are lking t hit aggressive sustainability gals by 2050, including decreasing net carbn dixide emissins by 50 percent.
32. Which f the fllwing is used fr sustainable airline pwer?
A. Bimass.
B. Liquid fuel.
C. Battery pwer.
D. Fssil fuel.
33. Why are cmmercial planes still fuel-pwered?
A. Bifuel prves less cstly and easier t prduce.
B. It’s cnvenient t create the prper fuel mixture.
C. Bifuel is envirnmentally friendly and sustainable.
D. Fuel-pwered planes are likely t travel lighter and farther.
34. What des the underlined phrase “n bard” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. Taking ff.
B. Participating in.
C. Hlding a meeting.
D. Appearing n stage.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Alternative Energy t Fssil Fuel
B. Hw t Get Fssil Fuel Sustainable
C. Changing Fd Waste int Airplane Fuel
D. Hw t Decrease Carbn Dixide Emissins

If yu’re hmeless and lking fr a temprary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit frm a rbtic plice dg that will scan yur eyes t make sure yu dn’t have a fever. That’s just ne f the ways public safety agencies are starting t use Spt, a new rbt that runs arund with quick mvement.
The plice fficials experimenting with the fur-legged machines say they’re just anther tl t keep emergency respnders ut f harm’s way as they search fr dangers.
Jseph O’Neal, an fficer f the Hnlulu Plice Department, said the rbt has prtected fficers, shelter staff and residents by scanning bdy temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where hmeless peple culd quarantine (隔离) and get tested fr COVID-19. The rbt is als used t remtely interview individuals wh have tested psitive.
The cmpany that makes the rbts, Bstn Dynamics, says it’s trying t d a gd jb f explaining t the public and its custmers what Spt can and cannt d. “One f the mst difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state f the technlgy t peple wh have never had persnal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president f the cmpany.
There are rughly 500 Spt rbts nw in the wild. Perry said they’re cmmnly used by cmpanies t check dangerus areas. Spt is als used t mnitr cnstructin sites, mines and factries, equipped with whatever sensr is needed fr the jb.
It’s still mstly cntrlled by humans, thugh all they have t d is tell it which directin t g and it can climb stairs r crss ver rugh areas. It can als perate autnmusly, but nly if it’s already memrized a rad and there aren’t t many surprise bstacles (障碍). “The first value that mst peple see in the rbt is taking a persn ut f a dangerus situatin,” Perry said.

Cmmercial airlines alne cntribute arund 3 percent f ttal glbal carbn emissins. But the industry is actively lking fr green slutins in the frm f sustainable (可持续发展的) airline fuel, and in ne case, that fuel may have had a previus life as yur husehld fd waste. In a study released this week in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences, researchers detail a methd f transfrming fd waste int sustainable airline fuel.
Bimass (生物质), such as animal and fd waste, can be transfrmed int bifuels, which are renewable liquid fuels made frm rganic matter. Derek Vardn, a senir research engineer at the Natinal Renewable Energy Labratry (NREL), says that their fuel wrked as a mixture f 90 percent cnventinal petrl airline fuel and 10 percent alternative airline fuel required by the industry currently. They als shw they culd push it t a 70/30 mixture with mre time and testing available.
Majr cmpanies are eager t participate in sustainable airline fuel because sme sustainable
slutins, such as battery-perated cmmercial planes, just aren’t pssible yet with current battery technlgy. A battery-pwered plane wuld be t heavy t fly lng distances, s fuel that wrks in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way t trade ut emissin-heavy fssil fuels.
Vardn says that because the wet waste used in the prcess wuld nrmally g t a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and break dwn t release greenhuse gases, the prcess f making and using sustainable airline fuel culd actually have a negative carbn ftprint when scaled up.
Cmmercial airlines are als n bard t find an affrdable and sustainable slutin t the carbn-intensive prcess f air travel. Airlines are lking t hit aggressive sustainability gals by 2050, including decreasing net carbn dixide emissins by 50 percent.
32. Which f the fllwing is used fr sustainable airline pwer?
A. Bimass.
B. Liquid fuel.
C. Battery pwer.
D. Fssil fuel.
33. Why are cmmercial planes still fuel-pwered?
A. Bifuel prves less cstly and easier t prduce.
B. It’s cnvenient t create the prper fuel mixture.
C. Bifuel is envirnmentally friendly and sustainable.
D. Fuel-pwered planes are likely t travel lighter and farther.
34. What des the underlined phrase “n bard” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. Taking ff.
B. Participating in.
C. Hlding a meeting.
D. Appearing n stage.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Alternative Energy t Fssil Fuel
B. Hw t Get Fssil Fuel Sustainable
C. Changing Fd Waste int Airplane Fuel
D. Hw t Decrease Carbn Dixide Emissins
