题目内容
15.Picture the scene:You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook-only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you.It sounds like a fantasy,but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves.The device will be sold from as early as 2017as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.
Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18years developing the hands.According to its creators,the arms can cut,stir,whisk and baste(放油) well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat,whether it is a simple home-cooked supper,or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef.The hands move a little slowly,hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy,but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.
Mr Oleynik,who is leading the project,said,"All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here.There is no limitation.A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants,but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home.This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food at a reasonable price."
The only thing that is off the robot's menu at the moment is sushi,which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble(敏捷的;敏感的) fingers to make,but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.

分析 本文主要讲述了英国人发明的机器人厨师的故事,有了它,人们可以足不出户的享受到美食.
解答 32.B 细节题.由第四段最后两句"A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants,…This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food,and for a reasonable price."可知,人们去米其林星级餐厅是为了享受美食.故正确答案为B.
33.B 推断题.结合句意"那些科学家们已经设计出了一套相当智能的机械手臂以致于它们能够自己做饭.由此可以推断,they 指代上文提到的机器厨师的"机械手臂".故正确答案为B.34.C 细节题.由最后一段首句"The only cuisine that is off the robot's menu at the moment is sushi,…"可知,目前机器人厨师的菜单里不包括寿司,言外之意即目前还不能做寿司.故正确答案为C.
35.D:推断题.由最后一段最后一句话 The only thing that is off the robot's menu at the moment is sushi,which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble(敏捷的;敏感的) fingers to make,but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.这套机器人手臂现在还不能做寿司,但是这个团队准备在它上市的时候克服这个难题.因此机器人手臂何时能够做所有的食物是还不确定的,结合选项,D符合文意.
