Question

【题目】 There are robots all around us, making our lives easier. Some of them, like the _______ calculator(计算器), can work much more quickly than human beings _______. And they never make mistakes. In some ways robots are better than people. They work quickly, _______ do not make mistakes. They do not get _______ with doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired.

So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brains must be shown _______ the job is done. A person moves the robot's arms and hands through each part of the job. The robot's brain _______ each move. When the robot is put to work on its own, its brain controls the rods (杆), wheels and motors which _______ its arms.

When the robot is _______ for a new job, its electronic memory is "wiped clean". Then it is taught how to do its new task.

If the robot's hands stop working, or if something gets in the way, it cannot do the next part of the job. So it stops and signals (发出信号) for _______. Then a human engineer attends to (处理) the fault.

【解析】

文章讲述了我们周围都是机器人，它们可以做复杂的工作也可以做简单的工作，而且还会做出反馈，效率高，犯错误少。

【1】句意：其中一些，比如袖珍计算器，可以比人类更快地工作。

考查名词辨析。bag手提包；pocket口袋；big大的；machine机器。根据“Some of them, like the 1 calculator(计算器),”其中一些，比如______计算器。可知，选择pocket口袋；此处是指袖珍计算器（pocket calculator）。故选B。

【2】句意：其中一些，比如袖珍计算器，可以比人类更快地工作。

考查情态动词。do做；did做；may可以；can能。由句中的than可知，此处是袖珍计算器的工作速度与人类的工作速度相比较，than前面的句子是can work much more quickly，因此后面应该是than human beings can work。故选D。

【3】句意：他们工作很快，但不犯错误。

考查连词。but但是；still仍然；further较远；then那时。句子They work quickly与do not make mistakes之间存在着转折关系，因此用but。此处是指它们工作很快，但不犯错误。故选A。

【4】句意：它们一遍又一遍地做同样的工作也是不会感到厌倦的。

考查形容词辨析。exciting使人兴奋的；boring无聊的；bored厌倦的；surprised惊讶的。根据“They do not get 4 with doing the same job over and over again.”它们一遍又一遍地做同样的工作也是不会感到______。可知，选择bored厌倦的；此处是指机器人感到厌倦的。故选C。

【5】句意：首先它们的电子大脑必须被展示出这项工作如何被做。

考查疑问词。how怎样，如何；why为什么；what什么；that那个。根据“First their electronic brains must be shown 5 the job is done.”首先它们的电子大脑必须被展示出这项工作 _______被做。可知，选择how如何；符合语境。故选A。

【6】句意：机器人的大脑会记住每一个动作。

考查动词辨析。reminds提醒；keeps保持；watches观看；remembers记住。根据“The robot's brain 6 each move.”机器人的大脑会 _______ 每一个动作。可知，选择remembers记住；符合语境。故选D。

【7】句意：当机器人独立工作时，它的大脑控制手臂的杆、轮子和马达来使手臂移动（即：工作）。

考查动词辨析。move移动；support支持；lift 举起；lower下面的。根据“When the robot is put to work on its own, its brain controls the rods (杆), wheels and motors which 7 its arms.”当机器人独立工作时，它的大脑控制手臂的杆、轮子和马达来使手臂 _______。可知，选择move移动；符合语境。故选A。

【8】句意：当机器人需要做新的工作时，它的电子存储器会被清除。

考查动词辨析。taken拿走；supported支持；needed需要；done结束。根据“When the robot is 8 for a new job, its electronic memory is “wiped clean”.”当机器人 _______做新的工作时，它的电子存储器会被清除。可知，选择needed需要；此处是指新的工作被需要。故选C。

【9】句意：所以它停止并发出求救信号。

考查名词辨析。danger危险；anger怒火；hunger饥饿；help帮助。根据“Then a human engineer attends to (处理) the fault.”然后，一个人类工程师就会来处理这个错误。可知，机器人是在停止工作并发出求救信号时，工程师才来处理这个错误。故选D。

【10】句意：机器人也被用来做危险的工作。

考查形容词辨析。good好的；dangerous危险的；clean干净的；safe安全的。根据“They can move objects (物体) which are too hot or too heavy for people to deal with.”它们可以处理人类无法处理的太热或太重的物体。可知，这些太热或太重的物体都是很危险的。故选B。
