Back then, he dreamed of a day when robots might take over the dirty, repetitive （重复的）parts of his job, such as earth moving. Years later, Ready-Campbell left his job as an engineer with Google to make that dream come true.Ready-Campbell formed a company called Built Robotics, which develops technology to produce self-driving heavy equipment. Ready-Campbell says the company's goal is to make construction safer, faster and less costly. The construction industry struggles to find skilled workers and faces a growing number of unfinished projects. But self-operating machines are changing the nature of building.Workers at Berich Masonry in Englewood, Colorado, recently spent several weeks learning how to operate a robot called SAM, or the Semi-Automated Mason. SAM is a $400,000 machine from the company Construction Robotics, It can lay 3,000 bricks in eight hours. That's several times more than a human bricklayer can do in the same period. But humans are still needed to load bricks into the SAM and make sure it works right. Bricklayer Michael Walsh says the SAM lessens the load on his body. But he doesn't think it will take his job.Brian Kennedy agrees, too. His organization supports the rights of construction workers in the United States and Canada. Kennedy says the union is not worried that machines will replace human workers any time soon.The rise of construction robots comes as the building industry faces a severe decrease in labor supply. One recent study showed that 70 percent of construction businesses have a difficult time finding skilled workers. Mike Moy heads a mining operation for the building materials supplier Lehigh Hanson. He says it's difficult to And people who even know how to operate some of the necessary equipment. Nobody wants to get their hands dirty any more.

It is complexly built but easy to operate.C. It is unable to work completely automatically.D. It is cheap but works much faster than humans.4、In Mike Moy's opinion, what prevents many construction businesses from finding skilled workers?A. Their low pay. B. Their potential risks.C.

The company's share price, which had been sliding for months, fell by a further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news came out. Apple's suppliers9 shares were also hit. But Apple's pain is humans' gain. The fact that these magical devices are now so popular is something to be celebrated.Nearly 4bn of the 5.5bn adults on the planet now have one smartphone. They connect billions of people to the internet's huge amount of information and services. Phones make markets more efficient and inspire growth. Yes, they can be used for wasting time and spreading disinformation. But the good far outweighs the bad. They might be the most effective tool of development in existence.Actually this slowdown is the result of market saturation （饱和）.After a decade of rapid taking-in, there is much less opportunity to sell handsets to first-time buyers as so few of them are left. And replacement cycles are becoming longer as new models offer only insigniHeant improvements. For all but the craziest fans, the slowing pace of upgrades comes as a welcome relief.Does that mean innovation （仓（J新）is slowing? No. The latest phones contain amazingly clever technology such as 3D face-scanners and cameras assisted by artificial intelligence. Moreover, smartphones also provide a foundation for extra innovations, like mobile payments and video streaming, and for future ones, such as controlling “smart” home equipment or robotaxis.As computers become smaller, still more personal and closer to people's bodies, many scientists believe that wearable devices will be the next big thing. Even so, finding another product with the range of the smartphone is a tall order. The recent slowing of smartphone sales is bad news for the industry, obviously. But for the rest of humans it is a welcome sign that a transformative technology has become almost universal.1、 The writer considers the slowdown of smartphone sales good news becauseit can make market more efficient B. it slows crazy fans' pace of upgradesC. it means less disinformation will spread D. it indicates the popularity of smartphones2、We can infer from the text that.A. wearable devices will take the place of smartphones very soonin the future people might take a smartphone-controlled robotaxiA. Apple's suppliers9 shares hit a record high after the news came outApple's share prices are likely to go on sliding in the next decade3、What is the best title for the text?A. A Brand New Age for HumansB. Smartphone, a Good Tool or a Bad Tool?C. New Technology in SmartphonesD. Bad News for Apple, Good News for Humans23. （8 分） Why does time seem to fly by faster as we get old? You*ve got your aging brain to blame. This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons（神经元）.New research suggests 'rapid fire9 abilities of the young brain allow us to process more information during youth, causing the days to seem longer earlier in life.However, as we get old, researchers say the older brain takes more time to process information.The new Hnding put forward by a Duke University researcher was published in a paper in the journal European Review this week According to Adrian Bejan, the J. A Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke, the physical changes of our nerves and neurons play, a major role in our perception（知觉）of time as we get old. Over the years these structures become more complex and eventually begin to degrade.nLittle babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they're processing images at a faster rate, MBeian says, For older people, this means fewer images are being processed in the same amount of time, causing experiences to seem as though they're happening more quickly.1、What causes time to fly faster as we get old?A. Changes of our nerves and neurons.B.Information in our brain C.The electricalsignals.D.Rapid fire abilities.2、What is unavoidable in the process of getting old?A.Longer days.B.Aging brains.C.More images.D.Less experience.3、Why do the days seem longer earlier in life?A. Young people are more energetic in their life.B. The younger brain takes less time to process informationOld people have fewer things to do than young people.C. Little babies move their eyes much more often.4、What is the best title of the text?A. Nerves and NeuronsB. Time Flies FastC. The Older, the FasterD. The Function of the Brain24. （8 分）Australian electronics and homewares retailers are preparing for the invasion （涌入）of American giant Amazon, but some have decided to take the fight up to the online-based store when it comes to local shores.Last week, Amazon confirmed its rapid Australia expansion by announcing that it was searching for a site to build its fulfillment center"一a large warehouse（仓库）for storing and shipping goods purchased onlinebut local retailer, including one of Harvey Norman's founders Gerry Harvey, have said they will make it hard for Amazon to succeed in Australia.Harvey Norman sells electronics, furniture and bedding-all markets in which Amazon hopes to hold a stake, but Harvey has said that he will happily go toe-to-toe with the American behemoth to hold his ground in the Australian market.“In America and other parts of he world, they have just demolished （彻底打败）other retailers, no question about that, and they send a lot of retailers broke,“ Harvey told News Corp on Monday. uThere is no question they have one ambition and like Attila the Hun, or Alexander the Great, they just want to demolish everything in front of them and then at the end of the day claim to be victorious and make their own rules.

S. dollars in sales in its first five years in Australia （around I percent of the total 225 billion U.S. dollar market）, but Harvey has refuted those claims, saying that local retailers would be putting up “one hell of a fight” when Amazon launches is main retail services in Australia. uWe will be ou there fighting them like no American retailer has ever fought them J he said. "Any price that they put we will beat or equal.”Meanwhile, Harvey's thoughts were backed up by the former CEO of supermarket chain Woolworths.
