A new type of robot could help industries to cut costs and make better products.
Industrial robots have long been dangerous, caged creatures. But in recent years, the barriers between robots and humans have been coming down. A friendlier type of robot has begun appearing on the factory floor – and with it, a new way of working that could cut costs in many industries.
One area that has benefited hugely is the car industry. “In a car plant, a vehicle is produced every minute, and approximately 1,000 cars are made a day,” said Adolfo Suarez Roos, the Airbus Group expert who works with robotics on the French National Research Agency project ICARO. On the project, robots are able to help workers with repetitive tasks.
Suarez is hopeful the same success can be enjoyed while making planes. But given that robotics isn’t as widely used, the challenges are very different. “[When making cars] a robot has 40 seconds to do its job and the complete programming task takes about a month,” he said. “At Airbus, we produce 1.5 aircraft per day, so we have to look at tasks that will last several hours. We need mobile robots and a very simple way to program the robot.”
At Cranfield University, the EPSRC Centre in Intelligent Automation is trying to make this a reality for flight. An important part of the work is understanding how tasks can be divided between industrial robots and human operators to make use of the skills of both. When man and machine are working together over long periods of time, engineers are looking at how human can improve the robot or the robot can improve the human.
The project, called Futurassy, last year began introducing the robots to perform the processes that could be used across other sites by Airbus, an aircraft company.
The first robotic unit bought by Airbus arrived last year, and is now used at the A380 station, where humans now work with the robot. Key to the success of this project is safety, and making sure that the barriers between human and robot are just enough to still allow a productive working relationship.
Prof Phil Webb claims there is no doubt that the number of robots putting together aircraft will

increase significantly over the next few years. Cost pressures placed on the traditional centers in North America and Europe mean they soon won’t have a choice but to move ahead with robotics. 32. Which industry has benefited a lot from robotics according to the article? A. The car industry.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is very common for a classroom to have a world map on the wall. However, a new map, called the AuthaGraph World Map, might replace the old maps. 36. ____________ This surprised many because earlier winners of the important award have been things like robots and mobility chairs. But this map is very special, because it is more accurate than the maps you have used at school. This is because it is difficult to copy the 3-D, spherical surface (球面) of the world onto a 2-D map. 37. ______________ This means places like North America look much bigger than they really are. North America looks the same size as Africa, even though Africa is much bigger. 38. ____________ Many people have tried to fix this problem, but until now they haven’t been successful.
39. ______________Created by Japanese designer Hajime Narukawa, it cuts the globe into 96 equal triangles and puts them into a tetrahedron (四面体) shape. In this way, the designer keeps the proportions (比例) of the land and water the same when going from a 3-D sphere to a 2-D map.
The map is already being used in Japanese school textbooks. According to the Good Design Award judges, it is the best example of what the planet really looks like. 40. ______________ A. It recently won Japan’s 2016 Good Design Award. B. That means the body of the world has been changed. C. Bodies of water and land are distorted (变形) because of this. D. It recently becomes very popular in Japan and catch much attention.
E. The AuthaGraph World Map appears to have solved the problem using geometry(几何学).

F. Similarly, Alaska looks bigger than Brazil, even if Brazil is more than five times bigger in real life. G. However, they did suggest increasing the accuracy further by cutting the world into even smaller pieces.

Early in my career, I was always struck by the fact that “expensive” hotels charged extra for things like internet access and movies. At the same time, more 41 hotels included everything. Although these less expensive hotels did not have 42 lobbies (大堂), they did offer the things that a young and tired 43 would want: a clean room and a quiet environment.
For the high prices you pay at nice hotels, everything should be 44 . They should give refunds (退款) for the things you don’t 45 instead of cheating their customers.
I once read an article about a judge who was invited to a very expensive restaurant in Washington. The restaurant’s food and service were both 46 . But there was something that ruined the 47 : the judge was charged $1 for the ice in his $7 mixed drink. The fact that he was charged the extra dollar separately – instead of just being charged $8 – made him so 48 that instead of talking about how wonderful everything was at the 49 , he only talked about the $1. Needless to say, he 50 went back to that restaurant.
I see the 51 thing is starting to happen in the airline industry. For example, American Airlines is charging $3.50 for snacks and $7 for meals. 52 , sodas and water are still free. The airline should just charge a 53 fare and give you a refund for what you don’t want or use. This will put more power in the hands of the 54 – the airline might be surprised to find that people are 55 to pay for extra services. Just imagine what could happen if you just trust your customers to make their own 56 ? So remember, don’t 57 your customers. 58 , charge what you think your service or product is worth and take it from there. This way, you can remove 59 services in exchange for lower prices. It becomes a win-win for you and your customers by sharing purchasing decisions and therefore giving your customers more 60 . 41. A. expensive 42. A. fancy 43. A. worker 44. A. charged 45. A. eat

Glad to receive your letter and thank you for your concern about my study during the outbreak of the COVID-19. Everything is fine with me.
Every day, we are occupied with 6 online lessons given by the excellent teachers in our province. We benefit a lot. The evening is our free study time. As I often have some difficulty understanding certain parts in the lessons, I will make use of this period to consult my teachers through QQ or refer to some books. Aside from this, after class, I often do some jogging on my treadmill for half an hour to relax and keep fit as well. And being a good assistant in the kitchen when Mom and Dad are busy with the dinner is also enjoyable.
For me, this period is unique and unforgettable, for not only have I improved my time management ability and study efficiency, but a even closer relationship with my parents have also been developed.
Hope you are going well, too and I am looking forward to hearing from you again. Yours Li Hua
