Such robots usually look like boxes with wheels. Though these robots
29、are useful, however, they are extremely expensivethey break easily and they cannot do very many tasks. Because of these problems, scientists have been working on a new and unusual kind of robot. These new robots will look and move like snakes, so they have been given the name snakebots. The way a sn
30、ake is shaped allows it to do special things, such as getting into very small spaces, like cracks in rocks. Snakes can also push themselves underground, and climb up different kinds of objects, like rocks and trees. Such abilities account for the usefulness of robots designed like snakes, because th
31、ey will be able to do these things, too. Such robots would be much more effective than regular robots with wheels. Wheeled robots easily get stuck and fall over, but snakebots would not have these problems. They could go almost anywhere and so would be useful for exploring the different environments
32、 of other planets. Since they can carry tools, snakebots would be able to work in space, as well. They could, for example, help repair the International Space Station. How do you make a robot shaped like a snake? A snakebot is put together like a chain, made of about thirty parts, or modules. Each m
33、odule is basically the samethey all contain a computer and a wheel to aid movement. The computer in the head of the snake makes the modules work together. If one module fails, another can easily take its place. Snakebot modules can also carry different kinds of tools, as well as cameras. Since each
34、module is actually a robot in itself, each module can work apart from the rest if necessary. The snakebot design is much simpler than that of most common robots. Thus, snakebots will be much less expensive to build. One of the robots sent to Mars cost over a hundred million dollars to build. However
35、, snakebots cost as little as a few hundred dollars to make and could therefore save enormous amounts of money on future space missions. With their versatility and affordability, snakebots will be the way of the future; at least as far as space robots are concerned. Questions 5660 Complete the table
36、 with no more than three words from the passage.Section B60 How to Learn Language Successfully【B1 】_They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes langua
37、ge learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.【B2 】_They do not depend on the book or the teacher: they discover their own way to learn the language. Ins
38、tead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.【B3 】_Therefore, successful learners do not wait
39、for a chance to use the language: they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things: they are willing to
40、 make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every world.【B4 】_They want to learn the language because they are interested in the l
41、anguage and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.【B5 】_If you are a successful language learner, you have
42、 probably been learning independently , actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above. Questions 6165Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences

And it goes back much further than that: the Romans used the oil so widely to perfume their baths that its Latin name
48、Lavandula, derives from their verb to bathe.Lavenders healing properties were first discovered by accident. In 1910 a French chemist and perfumer burnt himself in a laboratory explosion. He plunged his singed hand into the nearest liquid which happened to be lavender essence and was so impressed wit

Some of the most effective drugs we use in modern medicine derive from natural remedies. Questions
