Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
B
In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced (先進(jìn)的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn't know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) and two sensors (傳感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine's software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine's shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it's far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it's damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”
（1）Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?
A.They cannot repair themselves.
B.The computer has changed a lot.
C.They have no computers inside.
D.The computer cannot work if the robot changes.
（2）The new technology allows the robot to _________.
A.do house work for humans
B.keep working after being damaged
C.remember a lot of information
D.tell people where it is
（3）The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A.sensors
B.robots
C.arms and legs
D.scientists
（4）How do the sensors in the robot work?
A.They can replace the computer when it's broken.
B.They can find out where the damage comes from.
C.They help the computer learn the robot's condition.
D.They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.
（5）The passage is probably from_____________.
A.a newspaper
B.an advertisement
C.a tour guide
D.an application

【解析】短文大意：該篇文章講述了為了解決機(jī)器人一旦被損壞就不能工作的問(wèn)題，科學(xué)家給機(jī)器人里面放了八個(gè)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)和兩個(gè)傳感器，這個(gè)新的技術(shù)還能幫助科學(xué)家給人們創(chuàng)造出更好的假肢。
（1）D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章That is because its computer inside simply doesn't know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.可知，當(dāng)機(jī)器人被毀壞了就很容易發(fā)生故障，是因?yàn)槿绻麢C(jī)器人改變了，電腦就不能工作了。所以選D。
（2）B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) and two sensors (傳感器) that read how the machine is working.可知，新的技術(shù)就是解決可機(jī)器人被損害時(shí)不能工作的這個(gè)問(wèn)題。所以選B。
（3）C圖例判斷題。根據(jù)文章It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them.機(jī)器人有一天能夠幫助科學(xué)家發(fā)明出更好的假肢，幫助那些是去了胳膊和腿的人重新獲得自由�？芍�，them的意思是arms and legs。故選C。
（4）C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段可知，傳感器能夠幫助電腦了解機(jī)器人的情況。所以選C。
（5）A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)該文介紹為了解機(jī)器人一旦被損壞就不能工作的問(wèn)題，科學(xué)家給機(jī)器人里面放了八個(gè)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)和兩個(gè)傳感器，這個(gè)新的技術(shù)還能幫助科學(xué)家人們創(chuàng)造出更好的假肢�？赏浦�它最有可能發(fā)表在報(bào)紙上。故選A。
