题目内容
【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Tokyo University laboratory has developed a robot that never loses at the game of Rock Paper Scissors. That is because its visual processing abilities and fingers work together faster than any human brain. A video of the undefeated robot has been watched by more than 3 million viewers on YouTube since going online at the end of June.
Tokyo University engineering professor Masatoshi Ishikawa has a good-natured response to frustrated human losers who accuse him of essentially creating a robot that cheats. “It is not cheating. Every one millisecond the image processor decides and recognizes the shape the human hand is going to make. And then the robot can make a winnable shape one millisecond later than a human being. Only one millisecond, but a human cannot see this difference because the human eye is very slow,” explained Ishikawa.
At the Ishikawa Oku Laboratory there has been amazing progress which shows the near perfect accuracy of robotics. Such as a robot that can catch a falling egg without breaking it, another one that can tie a knot, and a robot that may not be quite ready for the NBA, but is able to dribble (连击) a ball.
In sports such as baseball and cricket, the misses outnumber (比……多) successes for even the most skilled athletes. That is not so in this award-winning school laboratory. For instance, an intelligent robot is the result of five years of research and a lot of trial and error. And the cost of just one finger on the robot is equal to that of a mini car.
The technology obviously has uses beyond fun and games. Corporations are eager to take advantage of the lab’s technology for industrial and other practical uses. And there is talk of applying it to assist disabled people and improve human capabilities.

试题分析:本文主要是介绍机器人,介绍机器人的研究、功能、技术和应用。
【1】A 推理判断题。根据Tokyo University laboratory has developed a robot that never loses at the game of Rock Paper Scissors. 东京大学实验室已经开发出一个机器人,在石头剪刀布游戏中永远不会输的。可知机器人在YouTube得到那么多关注是因为它在与人类的比赛中从未输过。故选A
【2】D 推理判断题。根据Every one millisecond the image processor decides and recognizes the shape the human hand is going to make. And then the robot can make a winnable shape one millisecond later than a human being. 每一毫秒的图像处理器决定和识别人类的手将要做的形状。然后机器人晚于人类一毫秒做出可以取胜的形状。可知机器人比人类的反应快。故选D
【3】B推理判断题。根据 an intelligent robot is the result of five years of research and a lot of trial and error. And the cost of just one finger on the robot is equal to that of a mini car. 一个智能机器人是五年的研究和大量的试验和错误的结果。机器人的一个手指上成本等于一个小型车。可知机器人的研究花费大量人力和物力,机器人的研究不能失败。故选B
【4】C推理判断题。本文主要是介绍机器人,介绍机器人的研究、功能、技术和应用。所以本文最有可能来自一个网站的科学与技术栏目。故选C
