A
Japanese engineer Masaaki Nagumo had always dreamed of operating a robot from“Mobile Suit
Gundam”，a popular animation(动画) TV series.It was Nagumo's favourite show when he was a child.The
series features huge，humancontrolled machines in battle.
Now Nagumo has made the show come to life.Inspired by the machines，he has built a large robot
called LWMononofu.The farming machinery company Sakakibara Kikai developed it.The robot is 8.5
meters tall，has two legs and weighs more than seven tons.It has a seating area with devices for the pilot to
control the robot's arms and legs.
The“Mobile Suit Gundam”series inspired movies，video games and more.And Nagumo thought the
robot could be popular as well.“I think this can be turned into a business opportunity.”he said.
Sakakibara Kikai develops robots and entertainment machines in addition to its main agriculture
machinery business. At a price of about $930 an hour，people can rent the machines for children's birthday
parties and other events. The company has created robots of all sizes. There is the almost 3.5metertall
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Landwalker，the smaller Kids' Walker Cyclops，and the MechBoxer boxing(拳击) machine.
But the Mononofu stands above them all. It also does more complex movements. It can move its
fingers and turn its upper body，and walk forward and backward.However，it moves very slowly—at a
speed of less than one kilometer per hour. Although it may be slow，the Mononofu is very powerful.The
air gun on its right arm shoots(发射) balls of soft material at 140 kilometers per hour.
“As an animationinspired robot that one can ride，I think this is the biggest in the world，”Nagumo
said.But Mononofu might be a bit too large.It is unable to leave the factory without being taken apart
because it was built taller than the entrance.

IV.读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
An 80yearold man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45yearold highly educated
son．Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) perched on their window.
The father asked his son，“What is this？”The son replied，“It is a crow.”
After a few minutes，the father asked his son the 2nd time，“What is this？”The son
said，“Father，I have just now told you‘It's a crow.’”
After a little while，the old father again asked his son the 3rd time，“What is this？”
At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a
rebuff.“It's a cow，a cow.”
A little while later，the father again asked his son the 4th time，“What is this？”
This time the son shouted at his father.“Why do you keep asking me the same question again and
again，although I have told you so many times‘IT IS A CROW’．Are you not able to understand this？”
A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary，which he had
maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page，he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it，the following words were written in the diary：
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa，when a crow was sitting on the
window. My son asked me 23 times what it was，and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I
hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all
feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent child.”
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
After reading the diary，
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Paragraph 2：
Feeling ashamed，the son got down on his knees before his father.
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
After reading the diary，the son began to think back to the days when he used to sit together with
his father，his eyes filled with tears. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times
without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just 4 times！The son thought to
himself：If I attain old age，how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden？Will he shout
at me because of my poor sight，poor hearing or poor understanding?
Paragraph 2：
Feeling ashamed，the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his
father，begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said aloud，“I promise to make you
happy forever，Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child，showering your
selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will
serve you in the best way.”
