ECHO is a four-wheeled yellow robot. It has just completed its first year of living with emperor penguins in Antarctica. ECHO is working to record penguin population changes. American researchers hope to use the robot as part of a 30-year project looking at the effect of climate change in Antarctica.
ECHO spends its days scanning electronic tags (扫描电子标签)on the penguins. The tags are stuck by researchers when penguins are five months old. Tracking (追踪) them allows the researchers to see population changes, which may be the result of climate change.
The tags, however, can only be read from 1-2 metres away. This is why the robot is needed. “As a human, you cannot walk around and scan 15,000 or 24,000 penguins each year—it’s impossible,” said one of the researchers, Daniel Zitterbart.
Although ECHO is very different from its neighbours, the robot, which is less than 1 metre tall, lives in harmony with the penguins. They don’t seem to be afraid of it and don’t mind it when it comes near. “If a human tries to do the same job as ECHO, the penguins will run away,” Zitterbart said. “And we don’t want to scare the animals.”
Now ECHO is being improved. In the future, ECHO will be able to work better and help researchers know more about emperor penguins and Antarctica.
31. What does ECHO look like
①It is yellow. ②It has four wheels.
③It is less than 1 metre tall. ④It has an electronic tag.
A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ①②④ D. ②③④
32. What is ECHO’s task
A. Looking for 5-month-old emperor penguins.
B. Recording all kinds of changes in Antarctica.
C. Sticking electronic tags on emperor penguins.
D. Collecting information from the penguins’ tags.
33. The underlined phrase “lives in harmony with” means “_______”.
A. guards against B. takes care of
C. gets along well with D. gets away from
34. Which of the following is right
A. ECHO is the main part of a project.
B. ECHO can read the tags from 1.6 metres away.
C. ECHO is similar to penguins.
D. ECHO has been improved.
35. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Wild animals are not afraid of robots.
B. A robot lives with Antarctic penguins to do research.
C. Scientists find a new way of doing research in America.
D. Climate change influences emperor penguins.

How to Reduce the Waste
With the rapid development of our country, everyone lives a happy life. We can do anything we want. But in the process, we cause many problems, such as waste and pollution. I’m always thinking about how to reduce the waste. Here is my advice.
To begin with, it’s necessary for you to clear your plate both at school and home. To make it possible, don’t order more food than you can finish. What’s more, many of you like buying something new, especially new clothes just for fashion, but it is a waste of resources. It’s a good choice to wear old clothes as long as possible. Because it can save lots of energy. Finally, in your daily life, you should get into the habit of turning off the lights and water taps as well.
All in all, I strongly believe even the simplest action can make a big difference to our whole country.
