Robots are highly beneficial to healthcare. Statistics show that around 16 million patients in China are 【小题1】 need of orthopedic (矫形外科的) surgery. Surgical robots help surgeons figure out the problem, 【小题2】 carry the risk of exposing both surgeons and patients to radiation damage. The all-in-one orthopedic robot (AIOOR) solves this problem. Developed by orthopedic 【小题3】 (special) Zhang Yuanzhi and his team, AIOOR is the first of its kind in China. Its cutting-edge imaging system and software 【小题4】 (short) the time needed for complex operations, such as those for spinal injuries, and also makes such surgeries much 【小题5】 (safe).

Advanced robotics, moreover, considerably eases patients’ discomfort created by the traditional gastroscopy (胃镜), 【小题6】 requires that the physician put a tube down the patient’s mouth to the stomach. The discomfort is unbearable to many patients, 【小题7】 (make) some avoid checkups and consequently miss the best time for treatment. The NaviCam, a system developed by ANKON Medical Technologies in Shanghai, enables 【小题8】 (entire) painless stomach visualization instead. Patients only need to “eat” 【小题9】 capsule-sized robot, and the examination is completed within 15 minutes. After the procedure, the robot is removed from patients’ body. So far, these robots 【小题10】 (employ) in about 1,000 medical centers across China.

Hua Zhibing announced 【小题1】 June 3 in her blog that she will study in the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University in the upcoming semester. Hua is China’s first virtual student 【小题2】 (power) by Wudao 2.0, 【小题3】 artificial intelligence (AI) system.

【小题4】 really sets Hua apart from any average college student is her amazing learning 【小题5】 (able). She can learn much 【小题6】 (fast) than any average human being. “If she begins learning at the six year-old level this year, she can reach the level of a twelve year-old in one year,” said Tang Jie, the 【小题7】 (develop) of Hua Zhibing. “We aim 【小题8】 (teach) her to think and feel like a human being. Now, Hua is 【小题9】 (closely) to breaking the Turing Test in painting pictures, writing poems and answering questions. We hope that she will master these basic skills first and then seek breakthroughs in 【小题10】 (reason) and feeling.”

China has a very long history of constructing terraces (梯田) that are famous 【小题1】their widespread distribution (分布) and large numbers.

China’s rice terraces are 【小题2】(main) in mountainous areas south of the Yangtze River. In these areas there is plenty of rain, but people 【小题3】(live) there lack flat ground to grow rice. So, 【小题4】(make) a living, they created terraced fields to adapt to the local conditions. Often, the terraces 【小题5】(construct) along the mountains, making it possible to catch rainwater and prevent soil from being washed away. It is a perfect 【小题6】(solve) to the problem of growing rice in hilly areas. There are many famous terraces in China, among【小题7】Yunnan Honghe Hani Rice Terraces is a typical example.

For hundreds of years, terraces 【小题8】(build) along the mountains have not only improved the local farming conditions 【小题9】also increased the output of crops. Moreover they are beneficial to the ecology of mountainous areas and have made 【小题10】(significance) contributions to the development of agriculture in China.
