Question

【题目】Scientists will put some robot fish into the sea near Spain this year. These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water. If the robot fish are able to finish their work successfully, the team of scientists hopes the fish will be used in rivers, lakes and seas around the world.

The robot fish are about 1.5 meters long. There will be a detector (探测器) in their bodies. It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.

Unlike other robots, they don’t need to be opearted (操作) by people far away. The robots all have an eight-hour battery (电池). They can “swim” in the sea freely and send back information to peole on the beach. After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.

There are five robot fish altogether (总共). Each costs (花费) about 29,000 dollars. They are part of a three-year project between engineering comany BMT Group and Essex University in southeastern England.

【1】The robot fish will help people find out _______ in the water.

A. more fish B. some people

C. some batteries D. the pollution

【2】What will the robots do if they find the pollution in the water?

A. They will eat part of it.

B. They will stop working.

C. They will tell people where it is

D. They will take it out to the beach.

【3】How long can a battery（电池） in their bodies work each time?

A. For five hours. B. For eight hours.

C. For twelve hours. D. For one day.

【4】The five robot fish cost（花费） about _______ dollars altogether.

A. 14,500 B. 29,000

C. 145,000 D. 1,450,000

【5】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The robot fish can eat anything in the water.

B. The robot fish need to be opearted by people.

C. The robot fish are 1.5 meters long and they look like sharks.

D. The robot fish can go back to the beach when the batteries run down.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了今年科学家将投放一些机器鱼到西班牙附近的海域，以帮助探测水体的污染情况。文章还介绍了这种机器鱼的体型构造以及性能和制造费用。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第一段“These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water.”的描述可知，这种机器鱼可以帮助发现水体的污染情况。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段“It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.”的描述可知，如果机器鱼发现了水体的污染物，它会吃掉一部分。故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文第三段“The robots all have an eight-hour battery ”的描述可知，机器鱼体内的电池每次可以工作8小时。故选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文第四段“There are five robot fish altogether (总共). Each costs (花费) about 29,000 dollars.”的描述可知，5个机器鱼总共需要花费145000美元。故选C。

【5】细节理解题。联系上下文并根据短文第三段“After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.”的描述可知，选项A、B、C的叙述不符合原文内容，故选D。
