2．11-year-old child Tanishq Abraham is in the news for graduating from college with three different degrees.The talented kid from California made headlines last year as well，for completing high school at the age of ten.
Last week's graduation ceremony was attended by Tanishq's parents-his mother Taji，a doctor，and his father Bijou，a software engineer.They cheered for Tanishq as he was awarded associate degrees in math and physical sciences，general science，and language studies.He wore a rainbow colored scarf that his grandmother had made specially for the occasion.
"The assumption is that he's the all-time youngest，"said college spokesman Scott Crow."But we don't have all the records to completely confirm.He was beyond doubt the youngest this year."
Tanishq said that he wasn't frightened by the fact that his classmates were all twice his age，especially because he was well-received."A lot were really happy that there was a kid in their class，"he said.And his parents were pretty low-key about the whole affair，being used to all his accomplishments since a young age."Even in kindergarten，he was a few years ahead."Taji said."It just went from there."
Interestingly，Tanishq has been home-schooled by his motjye.air.He's also been taking classes at the American River College since he was seven years old.
You'd probably think that Tanishq is done with books for his life，but he actually has no plans to stop learning."I want to become a doctor，"he said after the ceremony."But I also want to become a medical researcher，and also the president of the United States."In a tweet，he showed that he hopes to win the Nobel Prize some day in medicine or research.In the meantime，he plans to spend his summer on a family vacation and a Calculus II course.

3．A robot may be defined as a machine that can be programmed to perform acts automatically.With the increase in high technology，robots are taking over boring or inconvenient work in many areas of life.
One area where robots are making an appearance is farming.There is a robotic revolution going on in the milking industry，and cows，as well as farmers are experiencing the benefits.The advantage for the cows is that they can choose when and how many times a day they want to be milked.On the other hand.farmers no longer have to get up at 4 a.m.jye.ai day to go to the milking sheds and this makes a huge difference to their way of life.
In traditional farming，cows are milked twice a day，in the morning and the evening，mainly because this is the most convenient way for farmers to get two milking sessions completed in one day.However.jye.ai is not necessarily the best way for each individual cow.Because the robots are programmed to milk the cows whenever they arrive，the cows can be milked once，twice or even four times a day.It is an entirely voluntary system for the cows.They decide.Farmers report that midnight is a particularly bus？time at the milking shed.The interesting thing is the cows like the system once they get used to it.Farmers report that milk production increases，the cows live longer and they seem far more relaxed.
The computerized robotic system is entirely automatic.As the cows enter the facility，they are weighed，milked and productivity and health checks are carried out.The facility cleans itself at regular intervals（間隔）and if there is a problem，the robot sends the farmer a message.
Equipping a farm with robots is not cheap.However，farmers who have installed the robotic milking sheds，say they would never go back to the old system.The commonly reported sight of cows queuing patiently in front of their favourite robot must mean the cows like it too.
（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A．To introduce a kind of robot.
B．To tell the importance of photos.
C．To tell the readers what is a robot.
D．To provide the definition of a robotic system.
（2）What benefit may robots bring to the cows according to the text？
A．They can be freer to be milked.
B．They can be milked twice a day.
C．They can get up at 4 a.m.jye.ai be milked.
D．They can choose the day to be milked.
（3）Which of the following would the author probably agree？
A．Morning and evening are the two most convenient milking sessions for cows.
B．The robotic system is voluntary for cows to be milked of their own free will.
C．The robotic system is entirely automatic except for health checks.
D．The robotic system is so expensive that farmers will never install one.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．A robotic revolution in milking
B．Cows 'favourite helper
C．Hands free for the farmers
D．An expensive milking shed組卷：1引用：5難度：0.5
