A company in China has developed an AI-powered driving coach called RoboCoach, and it's already been used in driving schools. RoboCoach is not a human-like robot that sits next to you and talks about your driving skills. This robot, developed by Envision Intelligent, is actually a teaching and safety control system. Another difference between RoboCoach and human ones is even more amusing. RoboCoach will call you "mommy" or "daddy". Besides voice, the system uses a dashboard screen and a smart rear-view mirror to communicate with the learner. RoboCoach uses sensors to stop if the car runs into something or increase speed suddenly for no reason, similar to how self-driving cars work. RoboCoach has more than 40 sensors on the car to notice people, other cars and roads. ________[11]________ And to make faster decision making, the car is also provided with radar systems. The system doesn't just keep new drivers from meeting accidents. It also collects information on the learner's driving behavior and even body position. It carefully studies their driving habits in real time to see if the learner is too traditional or easy to be angry during practice and then changes its teaching style. By recording all the problems a learner runs into during lessons, the system can help the new driver correct past mistakes and prevent new ones. RoboCoach is now being used in Envision Intelligent's own driver training centers as well as hundreds of driving schools across China. 11. Which sentence can be put in ________[11]________ in Paragraph 5? A. It can correct your mistakes any time. B. It studies learners' driving habits and records them. C. It communicates with learners and helps make decisions. D. Also, it can collect information about road conditions quickly. 12. How does RoboCoach stop accidents? A. By talking like a human. B. By using over 40 sensors and radar systems. C. By changing the car's color. D. By teaching driving skills only. 13. What is special about RoboCoach's communication style? A. It uses very formal language. B. It calls learners "mommy" or "daddy". C. It writes emails to learners. D. It keeps silent most of the time. 14. What is the purpose of Paragraph 6? A. To explain how RoboCoach improves teaching. B. To warn us about the dangers of driving. C. To compare RoboCoach with human coaches. D. To introduce the history of driving schools. 15. What's the best title for the passage? A. The Future of Self-Driving Cars B. Human Coaches in China C. RoboCoach: A New Way to Learn Driving D. How to Pass a Driving Test B「2026河北石家庄43中月考原创」 Imagine waiting at a bus stop, but instead of a regular bus, a small, egg-shaped vehicle without a driver pulls up. This is the "Apollo Go" robotaxi, which is becoming a common sight in cities like Beijing and Wuhan. These robotaxis use advanced technologies such as 5G networks, high-definition maps, and artificial intelligence. Inside, there is no steering wheel (方向盘) or pedals. Passengers simply select a destination on a touch screen, fasten their seat belts, and press "Start." The ride is usually smooth because the AI follows traffic rules strictly and predicts the movements of pedestrians and other vehicles accurately. However, the rise of robotaxis has caused debates. Supporters argue that they can reduce traffic accidents caused by human errors, such as drunk driving or fatigue. They are also convenient for late-night travelers when human drivers are scarce. On the other hand, critics worry about safety risks in extreme weather, such as heavy snow covering the sensors. There are also concerns about job losses for professional drivers. Despite the challenges, companies are investing heavily in this technology. The government is also introducing new policies to ensure safety. For example, a remote operator monitors several robotaxis at once and can take control if an emergency happens. Experts predict that robotaxis will not completely replace traditional taxis soon, but they will play an increasingly important role in urban transportation. As one engineer put it, "We are not just building cars; we are building a safer, smarter future for mobility." 16. What is an Apollo Go robotaxi like according to Paragraph 1? A. It is large and square. B. It has no driver inside. C. It runs on a fixed track. D. It requires a passenger to drive. 17. How do passengers start a robotaxi ride? A. By showing a ID card. B. By calling a remote operator. C. By using a touch screen. D. By waving at the vehicle. 18. What is one advantage of robotaxis mentioned in the text? A. They are cheaper than all other vehicles. B. They can drive faster than human drivers. C. They reduce accidents caused by human errors. D. They work perfectly in extreme weather. 19. What does the underlined word "critics" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. People who support a new idea. B. People who design new products. C. People who invest money in companies. D. People who express doubts about something. 20. What is the author's attitude towards the future of robotaxis? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Negative. D. Uninterested.

A video shows the robotic dog is walking on the snow and ice. ________[21]________ The developers designed a special type of shoes for the robotic dog. "________[22]________ So it can get used to the low temperatures of Antarctica. Also, when it touches the ice, the pressure it puts out becomes very small and causes little damage to the ice surface. This ensures the robotic dog can walk on the ice as if it were level ground.", said Mao Shijie, the head of the six-legged robotic team. ________[23]________ This lets it work for two hours even in the cold Arctic temperature. But this action alone isn't enough. So, the scientific team looks for more advanced ways to make its battery life longer. "For scientific research, we usually need it to work for more than four hours. ________[24]________ In such cases, we add two additional batteries on top of the robotic dog, ensuring it can keep working for 4-6 hours." Mao added. According to CCTV, the six-legged robotic dog has now successfully completed tests such as carrying heavy things on the ice surfaces of Antarctica. ________[25]________ The research team said that the robotic dog will be improved to meet other needs of the scientific research teams in the future. A. The robot is so heavy that it can't move fast. B. It is carrying a box on its back, without falling. C. It can carry things weighing from 70 to 100 kilograms. D.

"I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast; others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different," said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race. During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run. There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the end. Tiangong Ultra won the first in two hours and 40 minutes. "It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected," said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot center. "In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We made history together." "Robots' completing the race isn't the finish line. It's the starting point for the growth of the robot industry," said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang's Administrative Committee. Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, "Their small steps today will become giant leaps for human technological progress tomorrow." 35.
