I have always lved the Arthurian legend(传奇), as there is smething quite special abut King Arthur, and f curse Merlin, my favurite character frm the stries.
Death f an Empire is the secnd vlume in MK Hume’s“Merlin”series which details Merlin's life frm birth. Merlin travels acrss the Rman Empire in search f his father, a vyage f discvery t understand just wh he was. Eventually Merlin gets invlved in the fight against the Hun's invasin(入侵) f Eurpe at the Battle f the Catalaunian Plain.
Serving under the General Flavius Aetius, Merlin builds a reputatin by saving the lives f thusands f sldiers. When he finally reaches Rme, he saves many mre. But a far deadlier cnflict between Emperr Valentinian and Senatr Petrnius Maximus is arund the crner and Merlin must use all his strength t carry ut his wrk.
If I had t chse just ne wrd t describe this nvel, there wuld be n ther chice than “immersive(身临其境的)”. There has clearly been a serius amunt f research carried ut by the authr. Cmbined with the descriptive prse and imagin ative stry, the bk really des attract yu frm almst the very start. The stry really des feel like yu are a part f it as Merlin travels acrss the Rman Empire.
The authr des a great jb f mixing the rich histry with established Arthurian legend. The battle scene is handled very effectively. The authr emplys a very effective frm t shw the main fight and this nt nly adds a degree f tensin and a gd level f excitement but almst makes yu feel like yu are right there hearing abut what happened.
Death f an Empire is a very fine nvel, a wnderfully rich tale and a rewarding stry.

As we all knw, insects can be remarkably agile(灵活的) in flight. This is really hard t build int flying rbts, but MIT Assistant Prfessr Kevin Yufeng Chen has develped an insect-sized drne(无人机) that appraches insects' agility.
Typically, drnes require wide pen spaces. “If we lk at mst drnes tday, they're usually quite big,” says Chen. “Mst f their applicatins invlve flying utdrs. The questin is: Can yu create an insect-sized drne that can mve arund in very crwded and cmplex spaces?”
Accrding t Chen, he vercame many prblems when building the drne. The insect-sized drne requires a fundamentally different cnstructin frm a larger ne. The large drne is usually pwered by a mtr, but the mtr lses efficiency as yu shrink it. S, Chen says, “Fr an insect-sized drne, yu need t lk fr alternatives.” The principal alternative untilnw has been emplying a small, rigid actuatr(执行器) built frm new materials. Chen designed a mre agile tiny drne using sft actuatrs instead f hard nes.
Each actuatr can beat nearly 500 times per secnd and weighs just 0.6 gram, apprximately the mass f a large bee. It gives the drne insect-like agility. “Yu can hit it when it's flying, and it can recver,” says Chen. “It can als turn ver in the air.” The drne lks a bit like a tiny cassette tape with wings, thugh Chen is als wrking n a new ne shaped like a dragnfly.
Chen says his drne can be useful in industry and agriculture. It can perfrm machinery inspectins t ensure safety and functin. Its ptential applicatins include cmpleting search-and-rescue missins fllwing a disaster. “All thse things can be very difficult fr existing large-scale drnes,” Chen explains.
28. What can we knw abut the actuatr designed by Chen?
A. It weighs abut six grams.
B. It drives the insect-sized drne.
C. It lses efficiency t much.
D. It emplys cnventinal materials.
29. Which wrd can best describe Chen's wrk?
A. Easy. B. Cstly. C. Fruitless. D. Challenging.
30. What des the last paragraph mainly tell us abut the new drne?
A. Its safety standards. B. Its flying range.
C. Its pssible applicatins. D. Its design principle.
31. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. An Insect-like Small Drne
B. The Future f Insect-sized Drnes
C. Hw Drnes Will Change the Agriculture
D. What Challenge Drne Develpment Faces
D
Humans have a way f understanding thers', gals, desires and beliefs, a crucial skill thatallws us t anticipate peple's actins. Taking bread ut f the taster? Yu'll need a plate. Sweeping up leaves? Yu'll grab the green trash can. This skill, ften referred t as "thery f mind", cmes easily t us as humans, but fr rbts it still has a high muntain t cnquer.
In a recent study, cmputer science researchers made the rbt "watch" the human cmpletethe task using a camera placed directly abve the assembly (组 装) area, lking dwn. T detect the parts perated by the human, the system used AprilTags, similar t QR cdes, attached t the parts. Then, the system used machine learning t learn a persn's preference based n their rders f actins in the task. "Based n hw a persn perfrms the small assembly, the rbt predicts what that persn will d in the larger assembly," said Nemlekar."Fr example, if the rbt sees that a persn likes t start the small assembly with the easiest part, it will predict that they will start with the easiest part in the large assembly as well."
In the researchers' user study, their system was able t predict the actins that humans will takewith arund 82% accuracy."We hpe that ur research can make it easier fr peple t shw rbts what they prefer, " said Nemlekar. "By helping each persn in their preferred way, rbts can reduce their wrk, save time and even build trust with them." This technlgy culd als be useful in industrial settings where wrkers are tasked with assembling prducts in large numbers, saving time and reducing the risk f injury r accidents. Additinally, it culd help persns with disabilities t mre easily assemble prducts and maintain independence.
"Our gal is nt t replace humans n the factry flr. I expect similar findings in therapplicatins as well, " said Niklaidis. "A rbt that can quickly learn ur preferences can help us prepare a meal, rearrange furniture r d huse repairs, having a significant impact n ur daily lives."
32. What des the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1?
A. It's refreshing. B. It's challenging.
C. It's unachievable. D. It's ridiculus.
33. What d researchers want t "teach" rbts t d in assembly tasks?
A. T predict human preferences.
B. T get the tasks finished easily.
C. T think n their wn.
D. T avid human errrs.
34. What can we learn abut the rbts frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. They can replace humans.
B. They've been widely used.
C. They've imprved their accuracy.
D. They can d gd t the disabled.
35. Where can the text prbably be fund?
A. In a lab guidebk. B. In a cmputer textbk.
C. In a science newspaper. D. In an academic paper.
