New Research Lights the Way to Super-fast Computers
(1) New research published today in the journal Nature Communications, has demonstrated how glass can be manipulated to create a material that will allow computers to transfer information using light. This development could significantly increase computer processing speeds and power in the future.
(2)The research by the University of Surrey, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and the University of Southampton, has found it is possible to change the electronic properties of amorphous chalcogenides, a glass material integral to data technologies such as CDs and DVDs.
By using a technique called ion doping, the team of researchers have discovered a material that could use light to bring together different computing functions into one component, leading to all-optical systems.
(3)Computers currently use electrons to transfer information and process applications. On the other hand, data sources such as the Intemet rely on optical systems; the transfer of information using light. Optical fibers are used to send information around the world at the speed of light, but these signals then have to be converted to electrical signals once they reach a computer, causing a significant slowdown in processing.
(4) "The challenge is to find a single material that can effectively use and control light to carry information arotmd a computer. Much like how the web uses light to deliver information, we want to use light to both deliver and process computer data," said project leader, Dr Richard Curry of the University of Surrey.
(5) "This has eluded researchers for decades, but now we have now shown how a widely used glass can be manipulated to conduct negative electrons, as well as positive charges, creating what are known as 'pn-junction' devices. This should enable the material to act as a light source, a light guide and a light detector -- something that can carry and interpret optical information. In doing so, this could transform the computers of tomorrow, allowing them to effectively process information at much faster speeds."
(6) The researchers expect that the results of this research will be integrated into computers within ten years. In the short term, the glass is already being developed and used in next-generation computer memory technology known as CRAM, which may ultimately be integrated with the advances reported.

Wide World of Robots
Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobs. These researchers tinker (修补) with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. "They're the best toys out there," says Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist, a person who designs, builds or programs robots.
When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved--cars, trains, animals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later, in high school, he built mobile robots similar to small cars.
Hoping to continue working on robots, he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school at the Califomia Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Choset's labmates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars: robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward, backward, left and right. But snakes can twist (扭曲 ) in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain (地形) . "Snakes are far more interesting than the cars," Choset concluded.
After he started working at Carnegie Mellon, Choset and his colleagues there bagan developing their own snake robots. Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes, such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't, such as rolling.
Choset's snake robots could crawl (爬行) through the grass, swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.
But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries, the doctor has to open a patient's chest, cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?
Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati, a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School, to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs.
A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people.
Even after 15 years of working with his team's creations, "I still don't get bored of watching the motion of my robots," Choset says.

16.A。题干：Choset在高中开始制作机器人。利用题干关键词high school和build robots可以定位到第二段最后一句，即“后来，在高中时，他开始制造与汽车机器人相似的移动机器人”，可知题干信息与原文信息一致，故选A。
17.B。题干：机器蛇只能往四个方向移动。利用题干关键词move和direction可以定位到第三段第二句到第四句，可知Choset的实验室的同事们正在研究比遥控车更酷的东西，即机器蛇。一些机器人只能向前、向后、向左或向右移动，但是机器蛇可以向多个方向扭曲。因此题干信息与原文信息不一致，所以答案为B。
18.A。题干：Choset到Carnegie Mellon工作后才开始研究自己的机器蛇。利用题干关键词robot snake和work at Camegie Mellon可以定位到第四段第一句，即“他在Carnegie Mellon工作后，Choset和同事们开始设计自己的机器蛇”。题干信息与原文信息一致，故选A。
19.c。题干：Choset研究的机器蛇比其他人开发的机器蛇运动的方向更多。利用题干关键词进行定位，发现原文没有将Choset的机器蛇跟其他人研究的机器蛇进行比较。因此答案为c。
20.C。题干：将小的机器蛇用于心脏手术可以减少手术时间。利用题干关键词heart surgeries可以定位到第五段最后两句，可知手术完成之后恢复的过程很痛苦，所以Choset想把小的机器蛇用于临床手术，这样可以减少痛苦，但并没有提及手术时间会减少。因此答案为C，未提及。
21.B。题干：Zenafi将机器人手术在猪身上实验后又在人的身上进行实验。利用题干关键词pig可以定位到第六段第二句。可知Zenati先在塑料模型上实验，然后又在猪身上实验。题干信息与原文信息不一致，因此答案为B。
22.C。题干：对人采用机器人技术进行外科手术已经给Medrobotics带来了巨大的利益。利用题干关键词profit和Medrobotics可以定位到第七段，可知Medrobotics正在采用这项技术，但并没有提及获得巨大利益，因此答案为C，未提及。
