On April 19, 2025, Beijing’s Yizhuang district held the world’s first humanoid (人形的) robot half-marathon. Twenty-one teams of robots from big cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou entered the 21.1-kilometre race with the help of human runners, showing how robots can deal with real world tasks like long-distance running.
The winner, Tiangong Ultra made it in 2 hours and 40 minutes with a top speed of 12 kilometers per hour. Scientists used special materials to lighten the robot’s weight and used cooling systems to avoid overheating. Other teams, such as Whirlwind Kid and Little Giant, caught people’s eyes because of AI-powered control on slopes (斜坡) and stone paths.
The race tested if the robots did well in difficult situations. The paths had difficult turns and slopes. Teams could change batteries (电池) at seven supply stations. If teams changed the whole robot to run, they would lose 10 minutes. Some robots wore special shoes to protect legs, while others used real-time sensors (传感器) to avoid falls.
Except for competition, the event greatly improved real-world robotics. For example, Tsinghua University’s Kuafu robot learned to move better with a little training, showing ability for saving people from dangerous situations like an earthquake. It is a milestone, marking future uses such as helping doctors in hospitals or moving products in factories.
Beijing’s Yizhuang area, home to over 100 robotics companies, plans to use these technologies widely in healthcare and other fields (行业). As an engineer said, “This marathon shows how robots and humans can work together for a smarter future.”
1. How did Tiangong Ultra avoid overheating
A. By using cooling systems. B. By changing batteries.
C. By wearing special shoes. D. By using real-time sensors.
2. Why do people treat the event as a milestone
A. Because it was the first time robot ran a half-marathon.
B. Because it will take place of human beings in the future.
C. Because it shows the future uses of robots in different fields.
D. Because it is from the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center.
3. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To show Kuafu robot’s daily work. B. To show how to make humanoid robots.
C. To show the meaning of half-marathon. D. To show the development of China’s robots.

Two years ago, my world only had room for me and my grades. When I went to Palomar College, I kept my head down. Friends would only slow me down. By winter break, my report card was perfect. However, I felt empty and lonely, when I was watching classmates laugh together. The change began one rainy day when I saw Maya struggling with her books. “Need help ” I asked, surprising myself. As we shared an umbrella, she asked why I was always so quiet. “I thought grades were the only thing that mattered,” I said. “That’s sad.” she said. “People matter too.” That sentence hit me like a rock.
I started saying hello and helping classmates. By June, Maya and I were real friends. The biggest change came at Vista Nursing Home, where I worked that summer. Mrs. Jenkins, a sweet old lady with memory loss, thought I was her daughter Susan. I visited her twice a week, always bringing strawberries, her favorite. One afternoon she held my hand. “Are you mad at me for forgetting ” Looking at her worried face, I said, “Never.” I realized making her smile made me whole. When she passed away, I was heartbroken but grateful. She taught me that caring for others fills a place in your heart that achievements never can.
Now I’m a junior, and I’m different. When Maya failed a test yesterday, I didn’t say “study harder.” I brought cookies and said, “One test doesn’t define you.” I watched the worry leave her face and felt that same warmth. When I look in the mirror today, I see a girl who smiles with her eyes—a girl with friends, and a heart that knows how to love. And I like her. I really do.
1. Why did the writer feel empty even though she had perfect grades
A. She thought her classes were too easy. B. She felt lonely seeing others laugh together.
C. Her parents didn’t care about her grades. D. She had too much homework to finish.
2. What does Maya mean when she says “People matter too” in Paragraph 1
A. People create too many problems in life. B. Grades are important, but people are important, too.
C. You should always listen to others’ opinions. D. You are happy only if you have friends.
3. Why did Mrs. Jenkins call the writer “Susan”
A. Susan was the writer’s real name. B. It was a name all workers used there.
C. The writer told her she was Susan. D. She thought the writer was her daughter.
4. Which of these events is in the CORRECT order
a. The writer works at the nursing home. b. Mrs. Jenkins passed away.
c. The writer feels lonely at school. d. The writer helps Maya in Palomar College.
A. cdba. B. dcab. C. cdab. D. dbca.

When Hunter Adams was a teenager, he was very unhappy because of his family. He spent many years in the 1960s and 1970s in a special hospital for people with mental health problems.
After leaving the hospital, Adams made a decision to become a doctor, so he enrolled in a medical school in Virginia, USA. But from the start, he stood out for doing things differently. Unlike his peers who followed strict medical rules, he refused to wear the cold, impersonal white coats. Instead, he chose to wear colorful shirts decorated with flowers when visiting patients, hoping to make them comfortable and warm. He also took time to chat with patients, tell light-hearted jokes, and do whatever he could to make them laugh. It was a choice that made many doctors at the medical school see him as “too unprofessional” and they didn’t like Adams very much because he was too different.
But Adams believed that people in hospital needed more than just medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them as patients, but as people too. With children in the hospital, he went even further. He spent a lot of time with them, and often put a special red nose on his face to look like a clown and to make the children laugh, therefore reducing their fear of treatments.
When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called The Gesundheit Institute, together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.
Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film called Patch Adams, Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, “Hunter is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him.”
1. What influenced Adams most in choosing his job
A. His family background. B. His medical knowledge.
C. His friendship at school. D. His childhood experience.
2. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “enrolled in” in Paragraph 2
A. Joined. B. Built. C. Started. D. Controlled.
3. What can we learn about Adams from the passage
A. Adams started the Gesundheit Institute on his own.
B. Adams was viewed as a successful doctor in his time.
C. Adams acted in a film made by Universal Pictures later in his life.
D. Adams was disliked by the doctors and patients at the medical school.
4. Which word can best describe Adams
A. Thankful. B. Humorous. C. Caring. D. Honest.
