During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the development of production, astronomy attained many achievements. The Ganshi Star Classic,     1    (write) between 375-350 BC, is the earliest astronomical work in the world. 

Gan De and Shi Shen respectively conducted astronomical observations in their own aspects     2     published their works to the world. They had     3     (systematic) observed the movements of the five planets, namely, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and had     4     grasp of the laws of the movements of these planets for the first time. They recorded the names of 800 stars, and determined the positions of 121. Later     5    (generation)called the records of Gan De and Shi Shen’s determination of stars ”Ganshi Star Classic“. The Ganshi Star Classic is the earliest star table in the world, about 200 years earlier than the first     6     (Europe) star table created by a Greek astronomer. To date, their achievements     7     (recognise) internationally. Shi Shen was referred to     8    one of the outstanding contributors to world astronomy, after     9     the largest crater (环形山) on the back of the moon was named. Many later astronomers use the data in the ”Ganshi Star Classic“ when     10     (measure) the position and motion of the sun, moon and planets. Therefore, the ”Ganshi Star Classic“ occupies an important position in the history of astronomy in China and the world.

NASA announced that it would make 366 precious images of the universe available to the public in April     1     (celebrate) the 30th anniversary (周年) of the Hubble Space Telescope’s launch into space.

    2     site is called “What Did Hubble See on Your Birthday?”. Internet users can find out what beautiful image     3     (take) on their birthday by the telescope (望远镜), as long as they select their birth dates on NASA’s     4     (office) website.

NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope     5     April 24, 1990. “Hubble explores the universe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That     6     (mean) it has recorded some fascinating     7     (wonder) every day of the year, including on your birthday,” said the website.

In the past three decades, scientists     8     have never given up on their dream of space     9     (explore) have been given a brief look at our vast universe thanks to Hubble. During this period, the telescope has become an eye in the sky for astronomers     10     (hope) to explore secrets of the universe. And now, the public will also get a chance to look into the vast and beautiful universe.

American scientists are working to develop a telescope to deploy(部署) on the moon. The telescope is designed to search for ancient radio waves     1     could provide important details about the early universe. The American space agency NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy are working together     2     the project. The telescope will be     3     first designed to collect data on a historical period of the universe     4     (call) the Dark Ages. This period     5     (consider) important to study because it can provide new details about the formation and development of the universe. The Dark Ages period began nearly 380,000 years after the Big Bang, the explosion many scientists believe created the universe. During the Dark Ages, there     6     (be) no stars or planets. In a statement     7     (announce) the project, NASA said information on the Dark Ages can only be learned through data collected from radio waves. The new telescope is     8     (special) designed to provide details on the formation of the early universe. The telescope is to be placed on what is known as the far side of the moon. This     9     (describe) came about because that side of the moon cannot be seen from Earth. The area does experience     10     (it) own day and night cycle.

A parent’s nightmare turned to relief in Florida as policemen swiftly rescued a missing five-year-old girl with autism. The local police launched a desperate search,     1     (use) air and ground efforts. Thermal imaging (热成像)    2     (lead) to the discovery of her in a swampy area. A body-worn camera captured the heroic moment of her rescue.     3     policemen’s quick response, she was found unharmed. The public praised the team’s efficiency in turning     4     could have been a tragedy into a heartwarming reunion.

With the opening of the Zhejiang Provincial Museum’s new branch in August, a full show of technology across the new museum     1     (hold) outside so visitors could see the charm of its “digitalized cultural relics”. The opening of the new venue (场馆),     2     (know) as the Zhijiang branch, in Hangzhou, is accompanied by 13 exhibitions, among     3     the 10,000 Years of Zhejiang — Zhejiang History and Culture Exhibition is a highlight.

The use of new technology at the branon has attracted a large number of visitors. The new exhibition hall for digital cultural relics uses 3D digital space modeling and other advanced technology to allow visitors to have     4     immersive experience with the cultural relics, promoting the     5     (innovate) integration and development of digitalization in cultural relic protection as well.     6     (make) sure visitors can see the exhibits behind the glass more clearly, the new venue also introduced low reflection glass, which reduces light interference (干扰) and     7     (great) shortens the distance between viewers and cultural relies.

The new venue is a total of 100,000 square enters in size,     8     it is three times larger than the main museum. At present, 2,000 objects     9     (exhibit) in 10,000 Years of Zhejiang, taking     10     half of the total number of all exhibits that have been collected in the new venue.

The Robot Revolution Has Arrived

When I was a child in the 20th century, hoping to encounter a robot when I grew up, I expected it would look and act human, like C-3PO from Star Wars. Instead, the real robots that were being set up in factories were very different. Today millions of these machines bolt, paint, and do other repetitive, assembly-line tasks. Often fenced off to keep the remaining human workers safe, they are     1    roboticists have called “mute and brute” beasts.

Ready-Campbell’s device is a new kind of robot, far from human but still smart, skillful, and mobile.     2    their once rarity, these devices-designed to “live” and work with people who have never met a robot—are migrating steadily into daily life. Now robots clean floors in Walmart,     3    they shelve goods and fetch them for mailing in warehouses. Robots also deliver food in England,     4    (carry) supplies in a Dallas hospital and disinfect patients’ room in China.

This past spring, in the middle of a global economic collapse, the robot makers said they were getting    5    (many) inquiries from potential customers. The crisis has made more people realize that automation is going to be a part of work. Ready-Campbell told me, “The contributor    6    that situation had been efficiency and productivity, but now there’s this other layer to it, which is health and safety.”

Technological trends are accelerating the creation of robots that    7    fan out our lives. Mechanical parts got lighter, cheaper and sturdier. More computing power    8    (pack)into smaller packages. Breakthroughs let engineers put powerful data-crunching tools into robot bodies. Better digital communications let them keep some robot “brains” in a computer else where — or connect a simple robot to hundreds of others, letting them share a collective intelligence.

“The workplace of the near future will be an ecosystem of humans and robots    9    (work)together to maximize efficiency,” said Ahti Heinla, co-founder and chief technology officer of Starship Technologies. It’s an inevitable fact    10    we are going to have machines and artificial creatures, that will be a part of our daily life. When you start accepting robots around you, like a third species, along with pets and humans, you want to relate to them.
