分析 文章大意:
本篇文章着重介绍一款可以做饭的机器人.
当你辛苦了一天回到家后,太累以至于不想做饭,此时希望有一顿美味的饭在等着你,而这个梦想马上就要成真了.
科学家花费了18年来制作一个机器人的胳膊,并设计成可以会做饭的机器人.但是,现在机器人唯一不会做的食物就是寿司,因为寿司制作"需要"灵活的手指.
机器人制作团队想要解决这个问题,因为他们想把这样一款产品拿到市场上去卖.
解答 66.meal,考察名词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"You come home after work feeling too tired to cook-only to find a delicious"当你辛苦了一天回到家后,太累以至于不想做饭,此时希望有一顿美味的饭在等着你,由此确定填写meal.
67.invented,考察动词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"thanks to a robot cook"多亏了一个会做饭的机器人,可想而知机器人是被发明的,因此应该用被动语态,由此确定填写invented.
68.buy,考察动词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"as a part of high-tech kitchen"作为厨房的一部分,因此应该是把机器人买回家,存在情态动词can,由此确定填写动词原形buy.
69.almost,考察副词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"scientists spent…18years"科学家花费了18年来制作一个机器人的胳膊,联系上下文,此处应该是一个大致的时间,所以应该填写almost表示大约.
70.but,考察连词辨析及上下文理解,前文提到许多人更喜欢去餐馆吃饭,后文提到"they are not cheap and may be quite far from the home"饭店一般离家比较远且食物一般都比较贵,前后存在转折关系,所以填写but.
71.price,考察名词辨析及上下文理解,前文提到了去饭店吃饭比较贵,所以此处表明的是机器人做的饭比较便宜,也就是"一个合适的价格",填写price.
72.requires,考察动词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"The only dish that is off the robot's menu at the moment is sushi"现在机器人唯一不会做的食物就是寿司,因为寿司制作"需要"灵活的手指,确定填入词为require,由于主语是寿司,所以应该用第三人称单数,由此确定答案为requires.
73.market,考察名词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"he team plan to solve this problem as well by the time it goes to the"机器人制作团队想要解决这个问题,因为他们想把这样一款产品拿去放在…因为是一款产品,所以应该是拿到市场上去卖,所以填写market.
74.wake,考察形容词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"breakfast for next morning"明天早上的早餐,可知是起床之后吃的,wake up表示睡醒了,由此确定填写wake.
75.choose,考察动词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"based on personal needs"根据个人的喜好,由此确定是根据主人自己的个性来挑选食物,所以填写动词原形choose.
点评 本题题型为根据给定的首字母进行填空.在选择给定词语时,再考虑文章大意的前提下,还应该注意文章及句子所用的时态,以及所填写的词在句子中的位置.通过这些判断,适当改变词汇形式,以符合题目要求.
