Read the passage and finish the tasks. (阅读短文完成任务14% Robot Sharks Are Here to Help Two sharks were swimming fast in West Lake. Their bodies were dark and shiny, and their fins (鱼鳍) cut through the water like knives. Wait a second—sharks in a lake? How could that be? They are not real sharks, but robots! Their job is to help visitors find lost phones and other things in the water. Let’s hear what their engineer has to say. Why sharks? Sharks are great swimmers. About two thirds of their bodies can bend (弯曲) and twist (扭动). So they can swim fast and turn quickly. When a robot shark swims in a pond, goldfish often follow it. Because they think it’s their new friend! Can it swim like a real fish? Not quite yet. Real fish are faster because of their soft muscles (肌肉). The robot shark’s body is harder. But scientists are still improving it. Maybe one day, it’ll swim just like the real fish! Task One: Answer the questions. (回答问题)8% 36. What are the robot sharks in West Lake used for? _____________________________________ 37. Why are sharks chosen to be the shape of the robots?

Sharks are great swimmers; they can swim fast and turn quickly. 38. For four hours. 39. Slower. Because real fish have soft muscles while the robot shark’s body is harder. 40. I would choose a robot bird. It can fly high to rescue people in mountains, deliver medicine to faraway villages, and watch over forests to stop fires. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了西湖的机器人鲨鱼，说明其用途是帮游客打捞落水物品，解释了选择鲨鱼造型的原因、续航能力，以及它与真鱼的游泳差异和未来改进方向。 【36题详解】 首段明确提到：“Their job is to help visitors find lost phones and other things in the water”，直接提取即可。 【37题详解】 第二段指出：“Sharks are great swimmers. About two thirds of their bodies can bend and twist. So they can swim fast and turn quickly”，提取其中两个核心原因即可。 【38题详解】 结合图片标注信息：“Battery (电池): The shark can swim for four hours.”，直接提取答案。 【39题详解】 第三段提到：“Real fish are faster because of their soft muscles.

Their bodies were dark and shiny, and their fins (鱼鳍) cut through the water like knives. Wait a second—sharks in a lake? How could that be? They are not real sharks, but robots! Their job is to help visitors find lost phones and other things in the water. Let’s hear what their engineer has to say. Why sharks? Sharks are great swimmers. About two thirds of their bodies can bend (弯曲) and twist (扭动). So they can swim fast and turn quickly. When a robot shark swims in a pond, goldfish often follow it. Because they think it’s their new friend! Can it swim like a real fish? Not quite yet. Real fish are faster because of their soft muscles (肌肉). The robot shark’s body is harder. But scientists are still improving it. Maybe one day, it’ll swim just like the real fish! Task One: Answer the questions. (回答问题)8% 36.
