分析 文章主要介绍了Smith 和他的朋友Frauke Zeller发明了搭便车机器人,他们的目的是想看看人们是否会为机器人停下来并与它交谈.这个搭便车机器人在七月份开始出发,已经完成了三次维多利亚之行,57000多人在脸书和微博上追踪了它的旅行.
解答 51.an,考查冠词,根据语境,上文说到搭便车的旅行者,本句说现在加拿大的司机可能会看到一个不寻常的搭便车的旅行者,unusual hitchhiker是一个单数可数名词,可知前面少了个冠词,因为unusual发音是以元音音素开头,前面的冠词为an,故答案为an.
52.to see,考查动词,根据空格前的动词want,可知want后接动词不定式,want to do sth想做某事,故答案为to see.
53.its,考查代词,根据The robot can chat about things it has learned机器人可以聊它已经学到的东西,结合题干中的and,可知后面的"trip旅行",是关于机器人自己的旅行经历,根据所给代词it,故填形容词性物主代词its.
54.but,考查连词,根据前文You might think it's a joke你可能认为它是个玩笑,后文 a serious point一个严肃的观点,可知前后是转折关系,故填but.
55.began,考查动词 根据题句子中的时间短语in July在七月份,可知这是一般过去式的标志,所以空格处是动词的一般过去式,故答案为began.
56.to close,考查形容词,根据空格前的动词follow,follow sb to do sth跟随某人做某事,故答案为to close.
57.photos,考查名词,所给单词是名词照片,根据空格前的短语"lots of大量;很多",可知是名词复数,故答案为photos.
58.when,考查副词,根据下文说到"可能要比期待的时间长",推出上文说的是时间问题"没人知道它什么时候会结束旅行",可知此处是提问时间的疑问词,故答案为when.
59.longer,考查形容词,根据空格后的连词than,可知这是比较级的标志,所以此处是所给形容词long的比较级,故答案为longer.
60.as,考查连词,根据空格后as it can,推出句型as…as sb can某人尽可能…的,结合语境"这两个发明者想让这个机器人尽可能多的去搭乘便车",故答案为as.
