Question

【题目】Come to build robots!

Robots are fun to play with, but did you know that they are equally fun to build? Don’t worry, it’s easier than you may think. You don’t have to know lots about electronics or be a genius at engineering to have a go at creating your own robot. There are lots of simple kits (配套原件) and resources available that make it easy to build a robot in your own home, and if you don’t feel confident enough to have a go at home, there are plenty of clubs that offer courses in robot-building for young people.

◇Why to build?

“Creating a robot teaches you in great about how it is put together and how it works, “says Steve Hubbard, of Robot Fun, which hosts robotics master classes for teens in Suffolk. “As you build and test a robot, you also learn how to fix it when things go wrong, as they always do.” Building and programming a robot is a practical application of science and engineering and a great way of learning how to solve all sorts of problems. You don’t need any special skills. If you can build with Lego or draw a line, you can build and program a robot.

◇How to start?

Matthew Applegate runs the Creative Computing Club in Ipswich, Suffolk. He says, “The Lego Robots kits are amazing. You can use cardboard, glue sticks and string to make a prototype (雏形).’’ Some kits can be expensive but there are ways to build your robots using things around the house. You can build an arm with cardboard, straws and string, adding it to a low-cost kit.

Building robots is really great. It isn’t easy at first，but when you get better, you will be surprised how much you can do. Come to get your first robot kit and make it whirr into life!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了为什么要自己建造机器人以及怎样开始建造机器人，并希望我们能参与到建造机器人的活动中来。

【1】

细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“You don’t have to know lots about electronics or be a genius at engineering to have a go at creating your own robot.”可知，如果你想尝试创造你自己的机器人，你不需要对电子学有太多了解，也不必是一个工程天才。再根据第一段关键句“There are lots of simple kits (配套原件) and resources available that make it easy to build a robot in your own home.”可知，如果你想在自己家里创造机器人，有很多配套原件和资源可以使用。综上所述，在家创造机器人必不可少的是组装所需的零件。故选B项。

【2】

细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二行句子“For more information on kits and classes:tinyurl.com/TW J-resources”可知，如果你想了解更多关于配套原件的信息，你可以访问tinyurl.com/TW J-resources。故选C项。

【3】

推理判断题。根据文章题目“Come to build robots!”和文章内容可知，文章主要是在宣传一种有趣的制造机器人的方法，并希望你可以参与进来。文章最后四行介绍的四个网址，如果你想了解更多的制造机器人的信息，可以访问这几个网站，也可以侧面说明网站起的正是宣传介绍的作用。故选D项。

推理判断题的解题方法：1. 通过文章陈述的事实进行推断；2. 根据文章所提供的背景，人物的表情，动作和语言进行推断；3. 根据作者的意图和态度进行推断。例如本篇文章中的第三小题，要求判断文章的写作目的，我们可以通过文章陈述的事实进行推断。综合全文及文章题目“Come to build robots!”可知，文章主要是在宣传一种有趣的制造机器人的方法，并希望你可以参与进来。文章最后四行介绍的四个网址，也可以侧面说明网站起的正是宣传介绍的作用。故选D项。
