He wouldn’t come home from workyet, maybe there is something we could do.” “It has 40 to do with us,” Mary disagreed.But John drove up and stopped. A woman on the lawn was 41 , “The children! Get the children!” John shouted at her, “Tell us where the children are!” “In the 42 ,” answered the woman loudly, “down the hall and to the left.”Though Mary disagreed, John 43 into the bathroom that was full of smoke and terribly hot. He found the door and two children. As he left, he could hear some more crying. He passed the two badly scared children onto waiting arms and 44 how many more children were down there. They told him 45 more and Mary caught his arm and cried, “John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down any second.”But he ran into the smoke-filled hallway and at last he found both children. As he climbed up the stairs, the thought went 46 his mind that there was something strange about the little bodies next to 47 , and at last when they came out into the 48 and fresh air, he found that he had just 49 his own children.The baby-sitter (保姆) working for John and Mary had left their children at Fred Jones’ home50 she was doing some shopping.36.A. dog B. father C. friend D. children.37.A. light B. smoke C. water D. rubbish38.

Xiushui StreetD. the Summer Palace54. The passage is most likely to be taken from .A. a travel guideB. an instructionC. a newspaperD. an advertisementBThese days shared bikes are becoming the center of attention in my WeChat friend circle. Many of my friends are sharing photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and I can see people logging in (登录) and out of shared bike apps.I’m very happy that there are shared bikes on the road. They have saved us a lot of time during special situations, and on beautiful, clear days, people enjoy riding them outside the city.I tried shared bikes last week, and I didn’t like them very much. I think the first shared bikes without baskets are designed for athletes. They are very hard to ride, and the seats are not comfortable. It makes me wonder whether people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others.A friend secretly told me she tried the bikes to fit in. She doesn’t like bikes and finds Beijing’s roads too hard for bike riding. But recently, the only way to hang out with her friends is riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again.Another friend admitted that he started talking about and sharing photos on shared bikes in order just to appear modern and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when shared bikes first came into use.These views will give me something new to think about when I ride these bikes again.55. What does the writer himself think of shared bikes?A. They are very difficult to ride.B. Their seats are comfortable.C. Athletes like shared bikes.D. They can save us a lot of money.56. The underlined word “admitted” may mean _______________ in the passage.A. told a lieB. told the truthC. kept a promiseD. kept a secret57 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. It’s quite simple to use shared bikes at special time.B. Some people only appear to be interested in shared bikes.C. The writer likes the bikes without baskets because they are for athletes.D. Some people like to share photos riding bikes because they want to agree with others.CWhen you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and coveryour mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this.Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a handover the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or coughon their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opensby pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first,then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you passthrough.After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watchingthem enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem withmy students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as theyhold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give otherswho are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. Whenwe are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exitbefore we enter.After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people madeefforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.58. When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.A. touch everythingB. cover your mouthC. point out to the kidsD. pass the germs to others59. If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _______.A. hold the doorB. pass throughC. close the doorD. stand to the side60. Why should we stand to the right of moving stairs?A. Becaus e it’s dangerous to stand to the left.B. Because it’s a traffic rule which we must follow.C. Because we must wait for others to move first.D. Because we should make way for people in a hurry.61. From the passage we can know the writer is a ________.A. doctorB. travelerC. parentD. teacher62. A. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the rules of acts in publicB. the ways of communicationC. the problems of meeting peopleD. the knowledge of social lifeDMany people think that keeping a diary is something that teenage girls do. It’s seen as a place to write down secrets, things you don’t want anyone else to know. The stereotype (模式化观念) is that only women keep diaries. In fact, keeping a diary is a very old tradition. It can be useful for many different types of people. Many famous people have kept diaries. Many powerful people have kept diaries. Some of these people include famous writers and presidents.Keeping a diary is said to have health advantages. Studies show that keeping a diary, that is, writing out thoughts daily, can reduce asthma symptoms (哮喘症状).Writing uses your left brain, which is thoughtful and organized. While your left brain is busy, your right brain is free to create and feel. This allows you to use all of your brain power to better understand yourself, others, and the world around you.The key to successful diary keeping is not stopping any thoughts from coming through. This even means allowing thoughts that influence you to come out in your writing. It helps make your feelings clearer, and is especially useful if a person is faced with a hard decision. Sometimes just writing down the ideas you agree and disagree helps you better understand a problem. You begin to see a problem from different ways. This is helpful if you don’t agree with others.63. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Keeping away from illness.B. Using your right brain to create.C. Stopping some thoughts coming through.D. Allowing thoughts to come out in your diary.64. According to the passage, keeping diaries can help ______.A. get along with othersB. understand things betterC. know more about the old traditionD. become famous in the future65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The advantages of keeping diaries.B. Keeping a diary with your left brain.C. The ways of keeping a diary successfully.D. The reasons girls like keeping diaries.第II卷（60分）四. 词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英文单词的适当形式填空（每空一词）66. The project he devoted much time to ________ (success) at last.67.

If you are Mary's housemate ,you can surf the Internet for free.B. People who take the 4-week language course can all get a job overseas.C. The cost of the artist training course is $75 each hour.D. Someone who w ants to be Mary’s housemate should pay $3600 a year.BThis was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famouspeople having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.54. The task I received was to find information about ________.A. uses for peanutsB. American War of IndependenceC. George WashingtonD. my headmaster Miss Lancelot55. I ________ after I failed the subject.A. worked harder to prove my abilityB. started to study from the 7th gradeC. was so frightened at the awful resultD. was given a second chance to redo the work56. We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.A. the headmaster didn’t like the writer at allB. the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistakeC. the writer knew little about American historyD. the wr iter’s grandpa was a very wise man57. Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story?A. Seeing is believing.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. One is never too old to learn.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.CWhen you are on a long road trip or in a traffic jam during a daily commute, it may seem harmless to connect your phone to your car's USB port. But unless you really need to use your phone, charging(充电) your iphone during your commute could be a big mistake.Why? For starters, the USB port in our car probably provides less electricity than your phone really needs to charge. As a result, your phone might stop working while it charges.“Many people may notice that on their way home from work their phone charged very little during their 30～60 minute commute，” says Brad Nichols, an engineer at Staymobile. “It is mostly because that the phone is using more power than the car charger is providing it.”Nichols also says that your phone could receive too much power, especially if you are using a cigarette lighter port to charge up. Most cigarette lighters can provide more power than most chargers can afford. If a charger cannot keep providing the proper power, it may make the phone broken.Charging your phone could do harm to your car's battery(电池), too. This usually isn't a big deal for those who own new cars with healthy batteries, Nichols says. But if your car is older, you might not want to charge your phone through its USB port.Most importantly, it's not safe to use your phone while driving. “Anytime a person's hands leave the wheels or eyes leave the road, it becomes dangerous for them and the other people around them，” Nichols points out. Bottom line: Play it safe, and wait until you get home to charge your phone.58．The underlined word “commute” most probably means ________ in Paragra ph 1.A．a talk on the phone B．the task about businessC．the time of using the phone D．the journey to and from work59．How many disadvantages does the passage tell us on charging the phone in the car?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.60．W hat does the underlined word “them” refer to in the last paragraph?A．The drivers. B．The hands. C．The cars. D．The roads.61．The passage mainly tells us ________.A．when is the best time to charge the phoneB．what we should do when we are driving our carsC．why we'd better not charge the phone while drivingD．how charging the phone in the car does harm to the car's batteryDAnother rich man in Venice was Shylock. He made money by lending money to others and making them pay interest. While Antonio did not make them pay interest. He thought it was wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. And Antonio and Shylock didn't like each other .They disagreed about a lot of things and did not talk to each other.When Bassanio visited Shylock. He asked Shylock to lend him thirty thousand dollars and said he would pay it back in three months.“How do I know you can pay it back?"asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me.” Bassanio said.Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance for him . Shylock went to visit Antonio.When he saw him, he remembered how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly.“It's thirty thousand dollars for three months, isn't it?" Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?”Shylock asked.Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried. Perhaps Shylock would not lend him the money, so he spoke to Antonio. Antonio was sorry.“If you lend us this money,”pleaded A ntonio,"I will not call you bad na mes.” Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract.I will lend you thirty thousand dollars for three months.You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however , let's agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!”Antonio agreed. He even told Bassanio that he thought Shylock was kind because he was not making them pay interest. Antonio agreed to the penalty, and they planned to meet at the judge's house.62.From Paragraph 1 ,we can know_______________.A. Poor people in Venice often liked to borrow money from ShylockB. Shylock earned less money than Antonio by lending money to othersC. Antonio never borrowed money from ShylockD.

I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term o f my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income（收入）, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.In New Jersey, an area w ith a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.54. Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?A. Because they were born there.B. Because it was a better educational town.C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.55. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?A. About 80.B. About 160.C. About 220.D. About 300.56. What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?A. None ofB. The whole ofC. A large number ofD. A small number of57. Why can’t the writer forget Edison?A. Because he regards it as his hometown.B. Because his parents got new jobs there.C. Because there are many Asians there.D. Because it is in the state of New JerseyCSpring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmer．During this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings．However, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring．We need to look at ourselves, set new goals（目标）, and decide how to improve ourselves．In England ,people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we' d like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year' s resolution（决心）．These can be anything from improving one' s health through exercise or giving up bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance．Luckily, we don' t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and b ecome better people．We can do this whenever we like．The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.Sometimes it' s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals, but an old saying is "to begin is to be half-way there．" I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easier．The trick（技巧）with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic(不实际) goals. If we do this, it's easy to lose heart, because the final goal seems so far away. Try to make many small goals that you want to reach on the way to your final goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.58. In Paragraph One, the writer wants to tell us that spring is a time _________．A. to take a walk around outdoorsB. to enjoy fresh air and bright colorsC. to set goals for a fresh beginningD. for animals to have babies59. According to Paragraph Four, the writer agree with ________.A. Be swift to hear, slow to speak．B. All that ends well is well．C. Well begun is half done．D. All roads lead to Rome．60. What does the underlined word "daunting" probably mean in Paragraph Four?A. changeableB. difficultC. lovelyD. dangerous61. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. If you see no progress, you'll be sad.B. Whatever happens, stick to your dreams．C. Never lose heart when meeting with difficultiesD. Your goals should be realistic and small．DIf the population of the earth continues to increase , there will not be enough resources (资源) left to keep life on the planet. We will use up all the oil that drives our cars sooner or later .One possible way to work out the problem, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the ea rth’s resources are completely used, it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus(金星) and create a new world almost as large as Earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a little water there.Sagan suggests that algae organisms(海藻组织) can live in very hot or cold temperatures and at the same time produce oxygen. They should be bred(养殖) in conditions similar to those on Venus. When this has been done, In a short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on but the rain will finally fall and i n a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.62. The population growth on Earth will cause the lack(缺乏) of _________.A. foodB. oilC. spaceD. resources63. What is one of the difficulties for the human race to live on Venus?A. The shortage of the algaeB. The shortage of carbonC. The much hotter weatherD. The much cooler weather64. Whic h of the following statements about the algae is NOT true according to the passage?A. It can live in very hot temperatures.B. It can live in very cold temperatures.C. It can break down the carbon dioxide.D. It can provide enough food for man.65. This passage is mainly about __________.A. the possibility of living on VenusB. the population of the earthC. the American scientist SaganD. the weather of other planets答案：CCA BBCA CCBD DCDA江苏省扬州中学教育集团树人学校2018-2019学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试卷四、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分,计30分)阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案.AI really enjoyed this movie.

It’s so well made--- some of the scenes are so beautiful. ——JohnI went to see this movie with my 8-year-old daughter this Tuesday, really without knowing too much about it.

According to the passage, the movie most probably tells a _______ story.A. funnyB. sadC. terribleD. trueBI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, " Son, remember: Be slow and steady ( 镇定的), and that will win the race. Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise?"Sonny opened his eyes wide, "Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?"I was shocked, "But the tortoise didn't wish that the hare would fall asleep!""He must have wished that," Sonny said, "Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.""He didn't have such a wish," I insisted. "He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily."Sonny thought a while. "That's a lie," he said. "He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he'd never have won the race. That's for sure."I gave up. Today's children are not like what we used to be. They're just hopeless.( ) 54. What does the underline word mean ________________.A. 侥幸的B. 自然的C. 坚忍不拔的D. 乐观向上的( ) 55. According to Sonny, it was the tortoise's wish that ____________.A. the hare would be as steady as he wasB. he could run faster than the hareC. the hare would fall asleep during the raceD. he would have a sleep during the race( ) 56.

It is clear that the writer___________ in the end.A. learned a lessonB. won the argumentC. became impatientD. was satisfiedCSmall drones（无人机）can help carry packages to your home. For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. They have made great progress. Their latest project is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half plane and half helicopter（直升机）and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to customers’ doors.The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered（盘旋）, and released the package with a wire. Delivery is here!The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery times will be greatly cut down. You’ll be able to order online in the morning. And by noon, the delivery drone will deliver you package.Throughout history, there have been a series of inventions that have helped people move things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google drones will be the next big step in the series.Interestingly, drones are not that young. The USA has been using armed（武装）drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky.Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to customers any time soon. However, Google has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery service last year, the heat is on to make safe and suitable drones to fly the skies for customers.( ) 58. Paragraph 2 of the reading is mainly about ______.A. what a drone isB. how a drone worksC. how a drone is producedD. how a drone is designed( ) 59. According to the reading, Project Wing ______.A. flies very highB. releases the package without a wireC. is not big in sizeD. flies faster than birds( ) 60. According to the passage, drones have been in use in the following fields except______?A. military (军事)B. filmsC. deliveryD. education( ) 61. Which of the following is NOT true about the invention?A. The new invention can cut down the time of delivery.B. Astro Teller is the lead scientist of Project Wing.C. Google drones are the next big step in helping people move things around.D. Drones will take a long time to deliver a package.DMany expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll’s famous novel “Alice in Wonderland” in detail.The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice runs after him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a situation which makes people feel puzzled. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distractions(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common.Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.( ) 62. Which of the following situations best fits the expression “to fall down a rabbit hole”?A. When Jack was sitting in the study, he got bored with the homework and felt sleepy.B. When Sue turned On the TV, she chose to watch her favourite programme as usual.C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in reports on superstars.D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea. ( ) 63.According to the passage, the expression “to be mad as a March Hare” .A. describes how hares behave in MarchB. shows hares’ characteristics in a funny wayC. is used more often than the expression mad as a HatterD. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter( ) 64. Which of the following characters wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?A. Alice.B. The March Hare.C. The Hatter.D. The Queen of Hearts.( ) 65. The writer mainly wants to ________in this passage.A. introduce a famous novel and its language styleB. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC. explain some English expressions from a famous novelD. explain why many expressions in English come from novels答案：51---53 DDA 54---57 CCBC 58---61 BCDD 62---65 CDDC。

On the way back from work every evening, more often than not （往往）there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway （快车道）. He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp（坡道）. So did he. Sometimes thered light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I 'm blessed! ”Then one day I was called into my boss ' s office and was told that I was being laid off（解雇）.

Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.Christie couldn ' t breathe without a machine to give her oxygen.

Today, doctors manage to save four out of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed thebabies.But saving Christie ' s life cost more than $ 400,000.

Alan Beck, an expert （专家） in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study on the effect of robotic dogs on old people ' s depression （沮丧） , physical activity, and life satisfaction. In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who livealone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collectbaseline data （数据） for six weeks. These old people willkeep a diary to note their feelings and activity beforeand after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the datato test if it has produced any changes in the life ofits owner.“I talk to him all the time, and he responds tomyvoice, ” says a seventy -year-old lad “ When I 'm watching TV,he' ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind. ”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate （与... 相关）to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry. ” Beck says. “Hopefully,down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper.
