18、a pair.One story suggests that Confucius，the great Chinese philosopher，developed the game in about 500 BC.The story also says that Confucius was fond of birds，which would explain the name “mahjong” Many historians believe it was based on a Chinese card game.Besides，therere still some other stories a

24、n _.A1875 B1895C1910 D1920B“You care for nothing but shooting，dogs，and ratcatching.You will shame yourself and all your family， ”Darwins father once said to him.Most people know that Charles Darwin was the father of evolutionary biology.However，what is not widely known is what sort of person he was.
25、In his autobiography(自传)，Darwin described himself as a rather “naughty” child.He stole fruit from the trees on the side of his parents house，made up wild stories，and tried to be the center of attention in the family.Even worse，it seemed that Charles Darwin was a lazy young man and a slow learner at
26、grammar school.He was a rather shy student but he did take great pleasure in showing off his athletic skills to the other schoolboys.It is not known how well Darwin did at school，but we could say that he was likely to be an unremarkable student.When Darwin was nine years old，his father sent him to a
27、 boys boarding school.At this school，Darwin learned classics，ancient history，and Greek，all of which he found boring.He was not inspired much by his schooling.He found his only pleasure there was reading Shakespeares historical plays，the poems of Byron，Scott，and Thomson.His increased interest in natu

32、(2013山东高考)You cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But 8designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.Thats why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rainsensing umbrella.The desi
33、gner says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷) built into a street lamp， ” h
34、e said.The Lampbrella is a standardlooking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor，theres
35、 also a 360 motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer，the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed，so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besides，it
36、would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike.Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed (安装) at 2 metres off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production，Belyaev s
37、ays he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department，and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.46For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?ATo predict a heavy rain.BTo check the weather forec
38、ast.CTo protect people from the rain.DTo remind people to take an umbrella.47What do we know from Belyaevs words in Paragraph 2?AHis creation was inspired by an experience.BIt rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.CStreet lamps are protected by canopies.DHe enjoyed taking walks in the rain.948

42、uragement on their weightloss progress.Its blue eyes open and its head turns as a computer inside its head allows it to search for a human face in front of it and have eye contact.“Hello，Im Autom！Press one of the buttons below to talk to me， ”it says in a female voice with an American accent. “Im re

45、na Sandon，professor at the University of Texas，had not seen Autom in action and said she could not say how successful the product would be.“For 10some people who need feedback，it could be a good tool.But some will just get bored of it， ”said Sandon.But according to Kidd，Automs human qualities were a
