The government said the state of emergency — set to last for about two weeks— would be “short and powerful”. Under the measures, bars will be required to close and big sporting events will be held without audience. The government has insisted that the Olympics will go ahead in July.

Prime minister Yoshihide Suga announced the measures on Friday, saying they would begin on Sunday and remain in place until 11 May. In addition to to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo will be affected. It has marked the third state of emergency in japan since the pandemic began. “I sincerely apologize for causing trouble for many people again,” he said. “It is feared that infection in major cities will spread across the whole country if we take no measures.”

Under the rules, major facilities like department stores will close, as well as restaurants, bars, and KTV rooms serving alcohol. Restaurants that do not serve alcohol are being told to close early, and companies are being asked

to make arrangements for people to work remotely. Schools will remain open. Besides, the emergency measurescoincide withthe country’s “Golden Week” holiday, which runs from late April to the first week of May and is the busiest travel period of the year. Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike urged residents to start taking precautions immediately. In an effort to discourage people from going out at night. She said neon signs (霓虹灯) would be turned off.

The coronavirus toll in Japan has been much lower than that in many other countries, with about 558,000 cases and fewer than 10,000 deaths, according to figures collected by Johns Hopkins University. But there are concerns over the latest rise in infections, with reports of hospital bed shortages in some areas.

Tokyo 2020 president Seiko Hashimoto said at a news conference on Friday that organizers were not considering canceling the event. “I hope the coronavirus situation improves with the prevention measures the government, Tokyo, and other regional governments have put into place,” she said. “We, as Tokyo 2020, continue to wish for the swift return to normal and will continue to work closely to make sure a safe and secure Olympics can happen.”

A team of researchersfrom theUniversityofColorado Boulderhave created a revolutionary type of robotic muscles. They are strong and flexible at the same time, can feel the movements they perform and, whenever they suffer damage, they can self-heal. However, what is best about them is probably the fact that they are extremely

cheap to manufacture.

The robotic muscles have been called actuators, and have drawn inspiration from real-life muscles. By creating robots equipped with this kind of actuators, researchers would allowthem to perform movements just like human muscles.

To make the robotic muscles work, they filled some flexible material with electrodes(电极)and with liquid and oil. Then, they applied some electricity, and the liquid and oil started moving around the electrodes and powered them. This way, the robotic muscles started contracting and relaxing just like real muscles, but a lot quicker.

Researchers also took inspiration from the variety of human muscles, and created more types of actuators, each of them performing a different movement. They called these robotic muscles HASEL ( Hydraulically-Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic). However, they are superior to biological muscles as they are stronger, faster, and more flexible.

Even the researchers were amazed they could develop such technology. Eric Acome, the author of one of the studies, explained what is unique about the robotic muscles.

“The ability to create electrically powered soft actuators that lift a gallon of water at several times per second is something we haven't seen before.”

These muscles are special because they are also self-healing. This property is given by the liquid placed inside of them, which also gives them a lot more advantages than those mechanisms (机械)using solids. In the end, the material which keeps the liquid, the oil and the electrodes is extremely cheap. It is a type of polymer (聚合物)similar to the one used for potato chips bags, and can be manufactures for only 10 cents. 12. What can we learn about actuators?

A. They can heal on their own. B. They are biological muscles.

C. They can not move like human muscles. D. They are slower to react than real muscles. 13. What do actuators use to directly power electrodes? A. Solids. B. Liquid and oil.

C. A type of polymer. D. Potato chips bags. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The origin of actuators. B. The opinions on actuators. C. The advantages of actuators. D. The significance of actuators. 15. In which part of a newspaper will the textmost probably appear?

A. Health. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Technology. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine, Linda, had an experience that changed my mind and attitude towards these \"intruders\".

Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and leftLos Angeles, where she encountered her ex-husband in college. She flew toBostonon the east coast of theUS. Later, she settled in a new neighborhood inEast Boston. However, shortly afterwards, the company where she worked went bankrupt（破产）. Suffering a series of bitter blows. she fell ill, a severe case of flu. She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless.

Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed, she dragged herself to the window. There, outside, she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets（传单）and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. \"This is the last thing I need today.\" She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.

Coughing bitterly, Linda stuck her head out. \"Excuse me, madam…\" the young lady said with a smile. \"I'm sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.\" Linda interrupted her impatiently. \"As a matter of fact, I am feeling terribly awful.\" \"Is there anything I can do for you, madam?\" the young lady asked with concern. \"No thanks, just leave me alone.\" Linda then shut the door in her face. The young lady politely turned and left in silence.
