A Singapore restaurant plans to use drones(遥控飞机) to transport food and drinks from the kitchen to a wait station near customers'tables.
Infinium Robotics,the Singapore company that's developing the drones for restaurant chain Timbre,has spent the past two weeks testing the technology at the restaurant before it opens each night(21)for business and hopes to have it in place by the end of the year.
But how does the drone know where to hover (盘旋)?What if someone bumps into the drone or is standing in its way?"There's no chance at all(22)that it will hit anything,"says Infinium Robotics chief executive Junyang Woon.
The drones automatically charge while(23)waiting (wait) in the kitchen.(24)After the chef puts an order on the drone,he hits a button on a keypad and the drone automatically flies to one of two wait stations.Sense-and-avoid technology (25)built (build) into the drone won't allow it to land at the wait station if anything is in its way.The drones are equipped with sonar (声纳系统) and an infrared sensor (红外线传感器),too.
A waiter then removes the food or drink from the drone and hits a button (26)that/which sends it back to the kitchen.The drones,weighing a little over five pounds,(27)can carry just over four pounds of food.Infinium Robotics is working on a model that will carry twice as(28)much(much) food.
"Its job is to help the waiters to reduce some of their boring tasks,"Woon said."If they let the robots (29)do (do) the job,they can concentrate on interacting with customers to bring about higher customer satisfaction and dining experience."
Since it drew recent media attention,Woon(30)has heard (hear) from resorts and restaurants in 10 countries,including the United States.
分析 本文主要介绍一家新加坡餐馆计划使用遥控飞机来传送食物和饮料到顾客的桌子上.
解答 21.for 考查介词.for意为"以(提及物)为目的(或功能)".
22.that 考查连词.that引导同位语从句,其先行语是chance.
23.waiting 考查现在分词.The drones与wait之间是主谓关系,用现在分词作状语.
24.After 考查连词.根据句意:在厨师把点的东西放到遥控飞机后.用连词after.
25.built 考查过去分词.technology与build之间是动宾关系,用过去分词短语作后置定语.
26.that/which 分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词
27.can 考查情态动词.can表示"能力".
28.much 考查固定搭配.as…as意为"和…一样",表示同级的比较.使用时要注意第一个as为副词,第二个as为连词.其基本结构为:as+adj./adv.+as.
29.do 考查动词不定式.let后接不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语.
30.has heard 考查动词时态.根据从句Since it drew recent media attention,要用现在完成时态,因主语he是单数三人称,助动词用has.

The local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center auditorium.Almost 300people showed up,but about 50were turned away for various medical reasons.Fifty others left because the lines were moving so slowly.The event concluded at 6pm,three hours after the scheduled close.It was a long day for everyone-administrators,nurses,and donors.But there were plenty of chairs and tables,and many people brought their own books,magazines,or newspapers.
The first thing the donors had to do,of course,was fill out the donor registration and screening form.When they finished filling out the form,they waited until a nurse called them to her desk.The average adult body contains 8to 12pints of blood.Donors can give one pint at a time.It takes your body 2to 4weeks to replace this amount.Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5to 10minutes.
Before leaving,the donors received a sheet of instructions including Do not lift any heavy objects for 12hours.Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3hours.Do not smoke for at least 30minutes.Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day.Do not do any laborious activity for 24hours.
"I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,"said Martha,the blood center donor recruiter."Many donors underestimate the importance of what they're doing.They think it is no big deal,but it is a big deal.Their blood is actually saving lives,helping other people to live,which will lead to a more harmonious society.We cannot thank them enough for that,nor can the recipients."
