6.Robots have come a long way since 15th century.We've got robots to build cars,carry heavy things,work in dangerous places and explore planets.But things haven't stopped there.
In 1986,Honda made a robot called ASIMO.And now,it has been developed greatly.Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg.ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back.And he can walk,flight,climb and run fast.Isn't it wonderful?
The world's first robot teacher is Saya.With her human-like face,she can show expressions like happiness,surprise,sadness,dislike,fear and she can even smile or show anger at students,which look much like a real teacher's.To do this,her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside.And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too.She can also say some simple words like"hello"or"thank you".
In the UK,the development of robots is exciting.The mini-robots will send food,clean floors,collect and throw away waste.These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.
These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染).Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person,but here,you'll have robots that do"dirty work",like collecting dirty sheets,or taking away hospital waste; and you'll have robots that do"clean work",like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients.The robots have separate work so there's no way for infection,which is great.But of course,robots would not take the piece of humans,but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
But if this is what it's like in 2011,what's it going to be like to 2021?
42.In the following,which is ASIMO's behavior?C
A.Smiling at people,saying"hello".
B.Sending food or opening doors by himself
C.Flighting,climbing or running fast
D.Collecting waste for patients
43.What makes Saya look real?A
A.Her face and rich expressions
B.Her clothes and shoes
C.Her walking and running speed
D.Her rich knowledge
44.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A.Robots have come a long way since 1986.
B.The first robot teacher was made by Honda.
C.Saya looks like a small astronaut.
D.If anyone or anything is in the way,mini-robots will stop.
45.The main idea of Paragraph 5 is thatD.
A.nurses would have more free time with patients
B.robots would not take the place of humans
C.dirty and clean work is always done by the same person
D.mini-robots are useful for controlling infection.
分析 全文大意:
自从15世纪以来机器人有了很大的发展.我们用机器人制造小汽车、搬运重物、在危险的地方工作以及探索星球.但是不仅仅停留在这些事情上.在1986年本田公司发明了一个名叫ASIMO的机器人.现在他有了很大的发展.身高130厘米体重54千克.ASIMO非常像一个后背背着包的小宇航员.他会走、会飞、会爬行而且跑得很快.难道这不神奇吗?世界上第一个机器人老师是 Saya.有一张像人一样的面孔,她能表现出高兴、惊奇、伤心、厌恶、害怕的表情.她甚至会笑或向学生表现出生气,像真的老师一样.她的眼睛和嘴巴也有电线.她也能说简单的话"你好"或"谢谢."在英国机器人的发展令人振奋.这种迷你机器人会送食物、扫地、收集和扔垃圾.这些机器人会自己开门如果中途有人或有东西阻碍他会停下来.这种迷你机器人对于控制传染方面用途很大.通常干净的工作和脏的工作是由同一个人完成,但是在这儿,你就会有做"脏的工作"的机器人像收集脏的床单或者拿走医院的废弃物;你会有做"干净工作"的机器人.像给病人送饭或干净床单.机器人有各自的工作,所以就没有传染的途径,这是很重要的.当然,机器人不能完全代替人类,但是可以给护士腾出更多和病人在一起的时间.但是如果这是2011年的情形,那么2021年会是什么样子?
解答 答案:
42、C 细节理解题 根据第二段And he can walk,flight,climb and run fast可知他会走、会飞、会爬行而且跑得很快,故选C
43、A 细节理解题 根据第三段With her human-like face,she can show expressions like happiness,surprise,sadness,dislike,fear and she can even smile or show anger at students,which look much like a real teacher's"有一张像人一样的面孔,她能表现出高兴、惊奇、伤心、厌恶、害怕的表情.她甚至会笑或向学生表现出生气,像真的老师一样"可知她的脸和丰富的表情使得她像真的老师一样.故选A
44、D 细节理解题 根据第四段The mini-robots will send food,clean floors,collect and throw away waste.These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.可知这种迷你机器人会送食物、扫地、收集和扔垃圾.这些机器人会自己开门.如果中途有人或有东西阻碍他会停下来,结合选项D的意思"如果有人或东西阻碍,迷你机器人会停下来"可知与原文一致,故判断该项正确,故选D.
45、D 段落大意题 根据第五段的第一句为本段的主题句These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染).可知本段主要讲了这种迷你机器人对于控制传染方面作用很大,故选D
点评 本文主要是细节题,答题时在文章找到对应的地方,用笔进行标记,这有利于后期有时间检查时可以立刻找到答案的位置.仔细理解作者所讲的意思,再结合问题在文中搜索出答案.对于段落大意题找准主题句是关键.
