Question

Passage 9(2011 连云港，D)    

       Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars,carry heavy things,work in dangerous places and explore planets.But things haven’t stopped there.

      In 1986,Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now,it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg,ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk,fight,climb and run fast.Isn't it wonderful?

       The world's first robot teacher is Saya.With her human-like face,she can show expressions like happiness,surprise,sadness,dislike,fear and she can even smile or show anger at students,which look much like a real teacher^.To do this,her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside .And her eyes and moutli have wires (电线) too. She can also say some simple words like“ hello” or“ thank you 

      In the UK,the development of   robots is exciting.The mini-robots       will send food,clean floors,collect       and throw away waste.These robots can       open doors by themselves and stop if       anything or anyone is in the way.

      These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection (传染) .Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person,but here,you’ll have robots that do “ dirty work ”，like collecting dirty sheets,or taking away hospital waste;and you’ll have robots that do“ clean work”，like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there no way for infection,which is great.But of course,ro?bots would not take the place of humans,but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.

      But if this is what it's like in 2011,what's it going to be like in 2021?

1. In the following,which is ASIMO’s behavior?

   A. Smiling at people,saying“hello”.

   B. Sending food or opening doors by himself.

   C. Fighting,climbing or running fast.

   D. Collecting waste for patients.

2. What makes Saya look real?

   A. Her face and rich expressions.

   B. Her clothes and shoes.

   C. Her walking and running speed.

   D. Her rich knowledge.

3. Which of the following is tme according to the passage?

   A. Robots have come a long way since 1986.

   B. The first robot teacher was made by Honda.

    C. Saya looks like a small astronaut.

    D. lf anyone or anything is in the way,mini-robots will stop.

4. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that   .

      A. nurses would have more free time with patients

     B. robots would not take the place of humans

     C. dirty and clean work is always done by the same person

     D.   mini-robots are useful for controlling infection

Passage 9

[语篇解读]本文介绍了机器人在各个生活领域中的使用。

1. C 细节理解题。从第二段中 And he can walk,fight,climb and run fast.一句可知。

2. A细节理解题。从第三段中的第二句With her human-like face,she can...much like a real teacher's.可知

3. D推理判断题。从第四段中的尾句These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.可推知选 D 项.选项A错在since 1986上(从第一段第一句话可知) ；选项B错在结 尾的by Honda上(文章第三段并未指出Saya的制造者是谁) ；选项C 错在Saya—词上(从文章第二段可知:是ASIM0看上去像一个宇航 员，而不是Saya) 。

4. D主旨大意题。段落的中心观点往往出现在段落开头或结尾。阅 读本段后可知:本段主要围绕微型机器人在控制传染方面所起的作 用展开，故该段的第一句就成了本段的主要观点。故选   D.

[长难句]The robots have separate work so there's no way for infection , which is great.机器人有独立的工作，因此它们没有感染的途径，这一点很好。there's no way for infection 没有感染的途径；which is great 是非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的there's no way for infection。
