Question

【题目】French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were 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 (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such 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 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 the doctors work.

【1】The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means ________.

A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors.

B.something done to mend a robot.

C.an operation done by French and American doctors.

D.an operation done far away with the help of a robot.

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

A. it can send messages in a high speed.

B.even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself.

C.it can make the operation safer and better.

D.operations can be done without doctors.

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

A.top doctors

B. smaller movement

C. doctor training

D. high-speed telecommunications

【4】Which of the following is NOT right?

A.Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

B.Robotic operation is good for doctor training.

C.Experts speak highly of robotic operation.

D.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.

【5】What’s the best title for this passage?

A.An Operation

B. Robotic Operation

C. How to do a Robotic Operation

D. The problems of a Robotic Operation

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】D

【4】B

【解析】

试题分析：医生在美国操作电脑发指令，病人躺在法国的医院里，一些机器人在手术室里做手术。所有不可思议的事情就发生在robotic operation中。

【1】D 词义猜测题。题意：打有下划线的 “ robotic operation”的意思是什么？ A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors.医生发明的特殊机器人；B.something done to mend a robot. 修理机器人所做的一些事；C.an operation done by French and American doctors.法国和美国医生所做的手术；D.an operation done far away with the help of a robot. 在远方机器人帮助下所做手术。从短文中知道，纽约的医生看着电脑屏幕，病人在法国的医院里，医生通过电脑发送给机器人机器做手术。故选D。

【2】C 细节理解题。在手术中为什么用机器人？A. it can send messages in a high speed.因为它传递信息迅速；B.even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself. 甚至一个高级医生也不能亲自做这个手术；C.it can make the operation safer and better. 可使手术更安全更可靠；D.operations can be done without doctors. 手术可以不要医生就可以做。从最后一自然段的第一句，可以推测出，正确选C。

【3】D 细节理解题。如果想要在手术中用机器人，我们必须解决的问题是什么？ A.top doctors 要高级医生； B. smaller movement 较小的移动；C. doctor training医生训练；D. high-speed telecommunications ，高速的通讯。短文第五自然段第一句，可以知道，正确选D。

【4】D 理解判断题。下面哪一个不对？A.Robotic operation has been used in the USA. 机器人做手术在美国使用，正确；B.Robotic operation is good for doctor training. 机器人手术用益于医生训练，对；C.Experts speak highly of robotic operation.专家高度评价机器人手术；D.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.机器人用于清楚地观察机器人。机器人是用于帮助医生做手术，使手术更安全，更好。所以，选D。

【5】B 判断推理题。短文最好的题目是什么？A.An Operation手术；B. Robotic Operation 机器人手术；C. How to do a Robotic Operation怎样做机器人手术；D. The problems of a Robotic Operation 机器人手术的问题。本文所有内容都与Robotic Operation相关，故选B。
