have ever been disappointed because you dont have a good gardener,the clever robot may one day become the helper of your indoor plants The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted plant that carries on top of its head.Using light and heats sensors(传感器)the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out the daylight.If the houseplant needs more sun，the Hexa will walk into the sunlight;and if the houseplant is getting too hot,the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014.”Plants only receive an action without responding,”SunTianqi wrote in a blog post.”Whether they are being cut,bitten,burned or pulled from the earth,or when they havent received enough sunshine,water,or are too hot or cold,they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.According to Sun Tianqi,for billions of years,plants have never experienced movement of any kind,not even the simplest movement.In their whole lives,they stick to where they were born.Sun Tianqi continued,”Do they want break their own settings or have a tendency towards this?I do not know the answer,but would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants With the help of the robot,plants can experience the move”.The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale,though Vincross does sell a

Heilongjiang province,on Friday.A tiger was recently seen on the Siner Russian border（边界），but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.Wherever it may have come from,cross-border protection of endangered species is a problem.According to Ma Jianzhang,a senior wild animal researcher in China,tigers know no borders,which have been built to stop humans from illegally crossing over.However,these borders also stop the free movement of tigers,thus preventing their breeding（繁殖）and exchange of genes.The Sino-Russian border alsocomes in the way ofprotecting tigers in the region.Data show about 500 to 550 Siberian tigers,or over 90 percent of the species,live in the wild in Russia;27 live in the wild in China,and 50 inthe border region.Sometimes tigers lose their way across the border and that is hindering（妨碍）efforts to stop illegal hunting and protecting them.Fortunately,both China and Russia have realized this problem and are working toward solving it.As early as 2010,the two countries established a cross-border protection network aimed at strengthening communication on protecting tigers in the northeast.The countries have also held anti-poaching（反偷猎）activities together.In 2019,two national parks from the two countries signed a three-year deal to share research data on tigers,greatly improving the living conditions of Siberian tigers in the wild.However,much more needs to be done to protect the species.It is necessary to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries.That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then.Fortunately,both countries have been taking effective measures to provide the endangered species a better home.8.Whats the original purpose of setting up the Sino-Russian borders?A.To ban people from illegal crossings.B.To help protect tigers in the region.C.To protect tigers from losing their way.D.To stop tigers breeding and exchange of genes.9.What does the underlined phrase“comes in the way of”probably mean?A.keeps from.B.is on the way to C.is aimed at D.keeps up 10.What is the focus of Paragraph 4?A.Recent studies and researches on tigers.B.Joint efforts by China and Russia to protect tigers.C.The possible effects of establishing a network D.Reasons for improving the living conditions of tigers.11.Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To inform the possible dangers of tiger protection.B.To cover the news about a missing tiger on the border.C.To put forward suggestions on finding the missing tiger.D.To report the problems and measures of cross-border tiger protection.D Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge,crossed by thousands of daily commuters(每天长途上下班的人)and celebrated as a London landmark,was mainly built by a female workforce.There are no written or photographic records ofthe women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records.Whats left is anecdotal evidence,kept alive by the tourist boat skippers who have called it theLadiesBridge.During the Second World War,with the majority of the active male labor-force away at the front,women increasingly took on traditionally male roles.By 1944,25,000 women were working in the construction industry,carrying out back-breaking tasks.These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men.So the surge(激增)in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce.Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled“theSingingBridge”,which runs at Somerset House from Sept9th.to Sept25th.In late September,the“Light up the Ladies Bridge”event saw the National Theatres fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections(投影片)of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.Lets all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.12.Why do few people know about the builders ofWaterlooBridge?A.The records of their work have been lost.B.Female workers received little attention.C.The construction took place long ago.D.Few people know about the bridge.13.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A.There are less female workers inLondon.B.WaterlooBridgeis popular among artists.C.The story ofWaterlooBridgeis better known.D.Many works of art were created during World War II.14.Why didLondonwomen do the construction work?A.It was a tradition inLondon.B.They wanted to get a steady job.C.Mostmen had gone to the battlefield.D.The company offered them better pay.15.Which can be the best title for the text?A.Female Workers on the Rise B.A Hidden Treasure inLondon C.ANew LondonLandmark D.The Story behind theLadiesBridge 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2
