10.Robots are being used for the first time in hospitals."Robot-nurses"perform a variety of tasks such as delivering medicine,food and laboratory samples to sickrooms and taking away waste.Patients aren't treated by robots,as this is still done by medical staff.The idea is to employ robots to transport supplies between departments."Nurses often have to break off from what they are doing to gather supplies,"says Peter Seiff,who makes the robots called TUGs.Research shows any interruption in medical work can lead to errors-a nurse may forget whether she has given medicine and may give a patient double the dose (剂量) or none at all.
The robots vary in size according to what job they perform,but normally take the shape of a metal box on wheels,with a box on the side containing their software.
After being programmed,the robots are able to find their way around a hospital unassisted.They also contain scanning technology to create electronic pictures or a"memory"of routes on their hard drives to help them go through passages,doors and other obstacles.Each robot is also monitored at the producer's headquarters (总部) in case it runs into any difficulties.
Trials show TUGs reduce the time it takes for a patient to receive medicine,and stop drugs from going missing.A study at the University of Maryland Medical Centre in the U.S.found that when three TUGs were used over the course of a year,the average length of time from the drugstore receiving a prescription to the patient receiving it dropped from 74minutes to 30minutes and saved nurses 6,123hours finding medicines.It also cut the number of medicines that went missing to zero.
"The biggest complaints we receive from patients is that the nurses don't spend enough time with them.Anything that frees nurses is boon,"says Katherine Mulligan,director of nursing at the hospital,"The TUGs allow nurses to spend more time focusing on patient care.Nurse satisfaction has improved."

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了实验表明"机器人护士"表现良好,大大减低了病人对于护士没有足够时间照顾他们的不满.
解答 24.D.细节理解题.根据最后一段:The biggest complaints we receive from patients is that the nurses don't spend enough time with them.Anything that frees nurses is boon可知病人要抱怨护士没有花足够的时间和病人在一起;故选D.
25.A.推理判断题.根据第四段:They also contain scanning technology to create electronic pictures or a"memory"of routes on their hard drives to help them go through passages,doors and other obstacles可知机器人可以做许多任务;故选A.
26.A.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段:the average length of time from the drugstore receiving a prescription to the patient receiving it dropped from 74minutes to 30minutes and saved nurses 6,123hours finding medicines可知实验表明"机器人护士"表现良好;故选A.
27.B.推理判断题.根据最后一段:director of nursing at the hospital,"The TUGs allow nurses to spend more time focusing on patient care.Nurse satisfaction has improved可知作者对机器人护士的态度是积极的;故选B.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
