4 . 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

On September1, 1965, the Tibet Autonomous Region was officially established, which marked the establishment of the people’s democratic power in Tibet. From then on, the Tibetan people enjoyed the right to administer their own affairs and, together with the people throughout the country, engaged in the socialist development. Nowadays, the Tibet Autonomous Region, covering one-eighth of China’s territory with a population of 2.8 million, has developed rapidly in recent years.

China is a multi-ethnic country and Tibet is an inalienable (不可分割的) part of China. For more than 700 years the central government of China has continuously exercised sovereignty over Tibet. No government of any country in the world has ever recognized Tibet as an independent state. Anyone must be denounced (谴责) if he tries to split his motherland. British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, in a formal instruction in 1904, called Tibet “a province of the Chinese Empire.” In his speech, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, “Over the past several hundred years, as far as I know, at no time has any foreign country denied China’s sovereignty over Tibet.” The Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces used to claim that between the 1911 Revolution and the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Tibet became a country “exercising full authority.” However, many historical facts denied such a fallacy (谬论). The so-called “Tibetan independence” which the Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces spread is nothing but a fiction of the imperialists who committed aggression against China in modern history. Never will they succeed.

5 . One day, you might be ordering your favorite pizza from a robot.Researchers at a university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are working on creating a pizza-making robot.

“Robots are basically preprogrammed to repeat the same actions over and over,” says David Held, a robot expert from Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the members of a pizza-making team．But making pizza has challenges.For instance, the flour (面粉) will become squishy when meeting water, with a shape that can change in many ways.Also, pizza-making requires many steps—such as rolling and cutting—and several tools, including a rolling, a knife and so on.In what order should the steps be done? Which tools should be picked, and when? “If you need to do a cooking task, there are several levels that you have to reason about,” Held says.Once people get the hang of it, “We don’t even need to think about exactly how we’re doing it- it sort of just happens.But robots can’t really “understand what to do on their own”.

To start, the team used a computer to consider how a robot could lift, fatten, gather, move and cut dough (生面团).The method has two levels of robotic reasoning: one that thinks how it should approach the overall task, and the other that thinks how it should move its “hands” to perform each action．The result was better than with the usual programming techniques.“We got a little bit closer to the right shape than the former methods,” Held says．“‘But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.”

For now, people will continue to make pizza the old-fashioned way: with their own hands.Sill, a pizza-making robot is a good goal.And if a robot could deal with dough, it could also work with other objects that can change shapes.“You can imagine robots helping in hospitals, or robots that clean up toys in day cares,” Held says.“The general goal is to eventually have robots that can help with whatever the task may be.”

1. What does the underlined word “squishy” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Soft.

B．Dirty.

C．Plain.

D．Precious.

2. What is a challenge for pizza-making robots?

A．Separating flour from water.

B．Doing all the steps in order.

C．Using several tools at once.

D．Repeating the same actions.

3. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．Methods of moving a pizza.

B．Problems with pizza making.

C．Improvements to the pizza robot.

D．Suggestions on how to make pizza.

4. What does Held say about the development of robots in the future?

A．They will help humans in different fields.

B．They will replace humans to do all the work.

C．They will do better than humans in day cares.

D．They will do whatever task as well as humans.
