18.Global retailers (零售商) lose nearly﹩450billion every year as a result of out-of-stock items,empty shelves,and other human errors.So Simbe Robotics today announced its'first product----Tally.It is the world's first robotic autonomous shelf auditing and analytics solution.Tally can help look for stock (库存) that is running low and stock that is nearing its sell-by-date.It can also analyze gaps in the shelves while looking for products that are in the wrong place or facing the wrong direction.Pricing errors can be found too.
"When it comes to the retail industry,shopping experience is everything.If a product is unavailable at the time the shopper wants to buy it,the retailer has missed an opportunity and disappointed the customer,"according to Brad Bogolea,CEO and co-founder of Simbe Robotics."Tally helps retailers address these challenges by providing more precise and timely analysis of the state of in-store goods and freeing up staff to focus on customer service."
Tally stands 38inches tall,and has an adjustable sensor for capturing shelf data.The overall height is variable,depending on the retailer's shelf height requirements.Tally weighs approximately 30lbs.and can be easily moved to anywhere within a retail store's floor plan.
It is currently in trial with several North American retailers.If current trials of Tally show it to be genuinely effective,this clever little creation could well find its way into the stores far and wide soon.

分析 本文是一篇科普文,主要介绍了年零售批发市场因为库存不足,货物售光,人为失误等问题损失很大,于是新式机器人Tally就诞生了.它可以完成在零售市场或超市里负责检查,巡视等任务,实验通过后,机器人将很快付诸使用.
解答 24.答案:B.主旨大意题.根据文章第一段"Global retailers (零售商) lose nearly﹩450billion every year as a result of out-of-stock items,empty shelves,and other human errors."可知,每年零售批发市场因为库存不足,货物售光,人为失误等问题损失很大,于是新式机器人Tally就诞生了,因此本段主要介绍了机器人Tally诞生的必要性.
25.答案:C.细节理解题.根据第二段"Tally can help look for stock (库存) that is running low and stock that is nearing its sell-by-date.It can also analyze gaps in the shelves while looking for products that are in the wrong place or facing the wrong direction.Pricing errors can be found too."可知,该机器人可发现脱销产品,价格错误以及物品放置错误,但是不能发现劣质产品.故选C.
26.答案:C.细节理解题.根据"If a product is unavailable at the time the shopper wants to buy it,the retailer has missed an opportunity and disappointed the customer"知,如果顾客想买它的时候产品不可用,零售商已经错过了一个机会并让客户失望,而不是没有关系.故选C.
27.答案:D.推理判断题.根据最后一段""可知,当实验通过后,机器人Tally将很快付诸应用.故选D.
