In an attempt t explre unknwn envirnments, a Chinese team created an ctpus (章鱼) — inspired flexible rbtic arm capable f sensing and cntrlling bjects in limited spaces and underwater.
Accrding t the study published in the latest editin f Science Rbtics, the rbt allwed blindflded human peratrs t guide its arm, using suckers (吸盘) t pick up varius bjects, including a ty shark and a smth metal ball, via a single-finger glve.
This new inventin created by a team f researchers, led by Wen Li frm Beihang University was inspired by the ctpus, which mves its sft arms t catch its games with sensitive suckers.
A simple strategy like this can be used as a mdel fr rbtic grasping, cntrllable with a few inputs, as well as a highly defrmable arm with sensing capabilities.
Wen’s team fixed electrnics and circuits int the rbts while maintaining their defrmability. The researchers presented a stretchable electrnics-integrated sft ctpus arm with 16 air-driven devices and multiple degrees f freedm.
The rbt's stretchable, liquid-metal-based electrnic circuit can stand super stretching frce t perfrm tasks autnmusly in a limited envirnment, findings frm the study shwed.
The sft arm with tw rws f sensry sucking cups that cnnect with the wearer's finger can perfrm a reaching-grasping-returning mtin acrss a range f up t 1.5 times its riginal arm length, similar t the bilgical cunterpart (对应方), the study revealed.
“This rbtic mdel prvides new prspects and develpment ideas fr the future interactive applicatins f flexible rbts, including medical rbts, seabed explratin rbts, and s n” said the expert.
8. What inspired the inventin f the rbtic arm accrding t the passage?
A. The limited spaces underwater.
B. The special bilgical structure f the ctpus.
C. The desire t explre the living envirnment f ctpus.
D. The team wrk f the researchers frm Beihang University.
9. What's the meaning f the underlined wrd “defrmable” in paragraph 4?
A. Pwerful.B. Changeable.C. Steady.D. Active.
10 Which device is integrated int the rbt?
A. Plastic circuits.B. Suckers f ctpuses.
C. Electrnic sensrs.D. Arms f ctpuses.
11. What d the experts imply in the last paragraph?
A. Octpus is a very magic underwater creature.
B. Creativity plays a very imprtant part in science.
C. The unknwn wrld ffers pssibility fr innvatin.
D. One inventin can bring abut a chain reactin f breakthrughs.

Sme sngs might speak t yur sul even if yu dn't knw the wrds. The almst magical way that music reflects and influences ur emtins led American pet Henry Wadswrth Lngfellw t declare it the “universal language f mankind”. But hw universal is it really?
A team f mre than a dzen researchers and cuntless undergraduates set ut t cllect and interpret descriptins and recrdings f musical perfrmances arund the wrld. Their first finding: Music is indeed universal. Or at least statistical mdeling strngly suggests that mre than 99% f scieties have music. Then, they analyzed the sng descriptins fr sixty very different scieties and lked at different qualities related t sng perfrmance.
As they classified the sngs, they fund that three dimensins (方面) accunted fr mre than a quarter f the variability between sngs. The first was hw frmal r infrmal a sng was. Sngs high in frmality had large audiences and lts f instruments, ften invlved ceremnial events, and frequently had adult-nly audiences. Infrmal events had smaller audiences, including children, r n audience at all. The secnd was hw arusing a sng was t its listeners. Lively events invlving lts f dancing were high n this dimensin, while a lw value reflected a calmer event, like smene singing t themselves r a baby. The last was hw religius sng was. Sngs used in ceremnies were high in religisity, while thse withut a spiritual cntext scred lw.
The researchers applied their findings t fur widespread categries f music: lullabies (摇篮), dance sngs, lve sngs and healing sngs, and fund clear trend. Mst dance was highly arusing and frmal, but lw in religisity. Lullabies were mstly lw in frmality and lw in arusal. And healing sngs scred high in all dimensins while lve sngs were lw in all dimensins. Even mre interesting, the distributin f these behavirs was similar in all scieties studied.
Schlars say that their database culd fuel future research int even mre inspiring questins abut music universals. And their methd might be used t pick ut patterns in ther hard-t-analyze fields, like strytelling r visual art.
12. Hw was the research cnducted?
A. By making cmparisn and cntrast.B. By finding similarities.
C By cllecting and analyzing data.D. By illustrating examples.
13. Which kind f music may invlve the mst audiences and instruments?
A. Lullabies.B. Dance sngs.C. Lve sngs.D. Healing sngs.
14. Hw is the future f their research findings accrding t the schlars?
A. Prmising.B. Unpredictable.C. Impractical.D. Limited.
15. What can be cncluded frm the passage?
A. Sngs can speak t yur sul nly if yu knw their wrds.
B. Differences in frmality lead t the variability between sngs.
C. Music is classified by the number f audience and instruments.
D. Research n the universals f music can help explre ther fields.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The paper was hidden in a brwn bag. It was her late father’s bucket list, written n three pages trn frm a ntebk. Laura Carney lked dwn at it, then she glanced up at her husband. Withut a wrd spken, they bth knew: “I needed t finish it,” says Carney, 46.
Her brther, David, was the first t spt it. He uncvered the treasure in 2016—13 years after their father, Michael Mick Carney, was tragically killed when he was 54 by a distracted driver.
The list, Carney says, was written in 1978, the year she was brn. It had 60 tasks, five f which had already been checked ff. One was marked “failed”. That left 54 items fr Carney t cmplete. The tasks ranged frm relatively simple tasks, like “grw a watermeln,” t mre cmplicated nes like “crrespnd with a famus celebrity”. Several tasks were seemingly impssible. Still, Carney was nt discuraged. Fr Carney, the bucket list was an unexpected pprtunity t wrk thrugh her pain and recnnect with her dad.
“The first cuple nes that I did happened rganically,” Carney says. She had already signed up fr a marathn, which allwed her t check “run 10 miles straight” ff the list.
Anther item she cmpleted early n was “talk with the president.” She learned that frmer President Jimmy Carter—wh wuld have been president when Carney’s father wrte the list—taught Sunday schl in Gergia. She and her husband flew there t meet him.
While Carney cmpleted many f the bucket list tasks n her wn—including a tw-week trip t Eurpe— “it didn’t really feel like I was ding things alne, because I knew my dad was with me,” she says. “I feel like my relatinship with him is very present.”
Carney’s brther and mther accmpanied her fr sme activities, and her husband jined her fr thers. “After abut the first year r tw f ding this prject, he wuld say t me that the persn he had always seen in me was cming ut,” Carney says. “I had all these layers f sadness and fear that I was leaving behind.”
