Question

【题目】 French doctors and American scientists have reported doing an operation in which the doctor was outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the woman's gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor's order to a robot to move the tools quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make much smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor's hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations possible in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where doctors work.

【1】"Robotic operation" means "___________".

A.an operation done with the help of a robotB.an operation done far away

C.a special kind of robot invented by doctorsD.something done to mend a robot

【2】We use the robot in the operation because __________.

A.even a top doctor can't do the operation himselfB.it can send messages at a high speed

C.operations can be done without any doctorsD.it can make the operation safer and better

【3】If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of __________.

A.high-speed telecommunicationsB.top doctors

C.doctor trainingD.smaller movements

【4】If the smaller movement can't be done by doctors in the operation, we may use __________ to solve it.

A.telecommunicationsB.a video cameraC.a robot machineD.more tools

【5】Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Experts speak highly of robotic operation.B.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.

C.Robotic operation is good for doctor training.D.Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

【4】C

【5】B

【解析】

你知道机器人也可以做手术吗？这篇短文讲述的就是关于使用机器人来对病人进行手术。这种机器人手术更安全、更好。这也意味着医生们可以为远在危险地区的人们进行手术。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第三段的内容可知，机器人手术就是医生用电脑给机器人发信息，知道机器人对病人进行手术。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第五段的内容以及第六段中 “Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations possible in the future.”可知，机器人手术更安全、更好。故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文第四段 “Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications between the doctor and the robot.”可知，机器人手术的关键在于医生和机器人之间的高速通讯。所以用机器人做手术，就必须解决高速通讯的问题。故选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文第五段中 “For example, the robot can make much smaller movements than a person can.”可知，机器人可以做出比人小得多的动作。故选C。

【5】推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations possible in the future.”可知A符合文意；根据最后一段 “They say it will improve doctor training.”可知C符合文意；根据第一段到第三段的内容可知D符合文意。根据短文第三段 “Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the woman's gallbladder (胆囊) away.”可知，医生仔细观察病人，机器人来操作手术，B选项的叙述不符合文意。故选B。
