【题目】Predictions of many robots in industry have yet come true. For ten years or more, manufacturers of big robots have explained how their machines can make industry more competitive and productive. The maker for robots is oversupplied now, and the driving force of the robotics revolution is to be with the maker of machines that handle a few kilos at most.

"Heavy-robot manufacturers are in some difficulty finding customers. They are offering big just to get in the door. There has been a growth everywhere in the numbers of robots, so we admit we are either deceiving or that the market is slowly growing，" said John Reekie, chairman of Colen Robotics. "The following things must hap-pen the robotics revolution to occur. We must achieve widespread robot literacy. there has been a computer program, there must be a robot literacy program. ，some kind of artificial intelligence needs to be ”

Colen makes educational robots and machine tools. It is small with companies like ASEA or Fujitsu Fanuc. But Colen with others in departments in universities such as Surrey, Manchester, and Dur-ham possesses an advantage the giants. The big companies sell very expensive to businesses with expert knowledge in automation. The companies make robots for teaching people, and now they have realized that there is a need for small， robots that they can meet.

The little companies either bring their educational machines an industrial standard or design from the start. One technique that they all adopt is to choose （18）components where possible. The major cost of making their models is the electronics, which will fall in price. There is scope for reductions in mechanical costs. The use of standard parts，which are easily replaced, should give these robots a mechanical life of something in the order of five years.

【题目】Scientists are racing to build the world's first thinking robot. This is not science fiction： some say they will have made it by the year 2020，Carol Packer reports.

Machines that walk, speak and feel are no longer science fiction. Kismet is the name of an android (人形机器人）which scientists have built at the Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it can show human emotions. Its eyes, ears and lips move to show when it feels happy, sad or bored. Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androids—robots that look like human beings—which can imitate human feelings. Cog, another android invented by the MIT, imitates the action of a mother. However, scientists admit that so far Cog has the mental ability of a two-year-old.

The optimists (乐观主义者） say that by the year2020 we will have created humanoids (人形机器人） with brains similar to those of all adult human beings. These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public. What kind of jobs will they do? In the future, robots like Robonaut , a humanoid invented by NASA, will be doing dangerous jobs, like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. In Japan, scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano.

Some people worry about what the future holds：Will robots become monsters(怪物）？ Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro-computers，connected to the Internet, in the future. People will have micro-chips in various parts of their body, which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets (小装置）. Perhaps we should not exaggerate (夸大）the importance of technology, but one wonders whether, in years to come，we will still be falling in love, and whether we will still feel pain. Who knows?

【1】 Kismet is different from traditional robots because __________.

A. it thinks for itself

B. it is not like science fiction

C. it can look after two-year-old children

D. it seems to have human feelings

【2】 What makes Cog special?

A. It looks like a mother.

B. It behaves like a child.

C. It can imitate the behavior of a mother.

D. It has a huge brain.

【3】 In about 10 years' time from now, robots __________

A. will become space designers

B. will look like monsters

C. will behave like animals

D. will think like humans

【4】 In the future robots will also __________.

A. explore space

B. entertain people

C. move much faster

D. do all of the housework

【5】 What is the writer's attitude to robots in the future?

A. Critical.

B. Hostile.

C. Objective.

D. Enthusiastic.

【题目】下面有关宋词常识的说法，不正确的一项是

【题目】An underwater robot that can hear the calls of whales, and to help ships to avoid them, has just been successfully tested in the Bahamas.

The scheme relies on a fish-shaped glider that moves freely through the ocean. It can dive down as far as 200 meters below the surface and direct itself by shifting a weight from fore to aft. A microphone attached to the bottom of the glider can pick up calls from all whales, including the high frequency call of the beaked whale, which until now has been difficult to detect. The glider returns periodically to the surface to radio its data back to base, or if that's too far away, it can call a satellite phone and send its information anywhere in the world.

"We are entering a new era of underwater sensing' says Jim Theriault of Defence Research and Development Canada, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia who ran the trial. "We can put a glider in the Bahamas and monitor it in Nova Scotia. ”

The hope is that naval or other ocean-going operations that use sonar (声呐）will be able to more easily track where whales are, and so avoid using their noisy equipment when they are close by. There is circumstantial evidence that sonar can upset whales and a number of strandings (搁浅）have been seen shortly after naval sonar operations. “We're trying to lower the potential risk by knowing the animals are there，” says Theriault.

【1】 The shape of the underwater robot is like __________

A. a man

. a fish

C. a snake

D. a turtle

【2】 The underwater robot is built to __________.

A. help whales move to the Bahamas

B. help whales give birth to their young

C. help ships avoid whales

D. help humans kill more whales

【3】 To radio its data back to base, the robot has to __________

A. dive down as far as 200 meters below the surface

B. stay deep in the water

C. call a satellite phone

D. come to the surface periodically

【4】 The best title for this passage is “ __________ ”.

A. Whales are in danger

B. Whales are difficult to find

C. Robot built to kill whales

D. Robot built to spy on whales

【5】 Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. Whales can be disturbed by naval sonar operations.

B. Whales can be disturbed by noisy equipment.

C. Whales can be disturbed by noisy ocean-going operations.

D. Whales' strandings have nothing to do with naval sonar operations.
