Question

【題目】 A cafe in Japan is using robot waiter controlled (控制) from home by the disabled.

The robots, about as tall as a seven-year-old child, send out sound and video over the Internet, allowing the disabled to control them with computers.

Engineers behind the project said that they hope to provide jobs for people who have difficulty in moving their bodies.

If it is successful, there will be a permanent (永久的) cafe before the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

"Everyone should have the freedom to work in the way they like," said Masatane Muto, an ALS patient and one of the leaders of the project. "I want to send out the message toward 2020 that you can show your friendly behaviour even if you have disabilities."

The cafe in Tokyo will open on weekends from November 26 to December 7.

They have also been used in classrooms by students who cannot go to school because of illness or other reasons.

"I want to create a world in which people who can't move their bodies can work too," said Kentaro Yoshifuji, the CEO of Ory Lab, the developer of the robots.

Yoshifuji had some illness as a child that left him socially isolated. He had to stay away from others. This experience drove him to study robotics at Tokyo's Waseda University in the hopes of connecting (聯(lián)系) people through robots.

【解析】

短文主要介紹了日本一家咖啡館正在使用由殘疾人在家控制的機器人服務生。這些機器人通過互聯(lián)網發(fā)送聲音和視頻，讓殘疾人用電腦來控制它們。該項目的工程師們說，他們希望能為那些行動不便的殘疾人提供工作機會。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的句子“Engineers behind the project said that they hope to provide jobs for people who have difficulty in moving their bodies. ”該項目的工程師們說，他們希望能為那些行動不便的人提供工作。也就是為殘疾人提供更多的工作機會，故答案為D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一句“This experience drove him to study robotics at Tokyo's Waseda University in the hopes of connecting (聯(lián)系) people through robots.”可知，機器人可以將殘疾人與他人聯(lián)系起來。故答案為C。

【3】詞義猜測題。A. separated 分離；B. treated 對待；C. avoided 避免；D. supported 支撐。根據(jù)后面的句子“He had to stay away from others.”他不得不遠離別人。可知上句句意“Yoshifuji小時候得過種使他與社會隔絕的疾病�！�Isolated具有“分離”之意。故答案為A。

【4】標題歸納題。短文開頭的句子“A cafe in Japan is using robot waiter controlled (控制 )from home by the disabled.”為本文的主旨句。新聞主要報道了日本一家咖啡館正在使用由殘疾人在家控制的機器人服務生。A.東京咖啡館努力為即將到來的奧運會做準備；B.東京咖啡廳使用殘疾人控制的機器人服務生；C.在發(fā)展機器人服務生中扮演角色的殘疾人；D.為2020年奧運會在咖啡館提供新的機器人。故答案為B。

這是一篇科普類短文閱讀，主要介紹了在日本的咖啡館有一種由殘疾人控制的機器人侍者，這也為殘疾人提供了更多的工作機會。內容貼近學生們的日常生活，題型設置多樣，有細節(jié)理解題、詞義猜測題和和標題歸納題，細節(jié)題考查學生們文章事實信息的理解，答案常可以在原文直接找到。標題歸納題是閱讀理解中常見的一個題型，一般針對某一語段或某一語篇的主題標題或目的設題。一些文章一開頭便提出文章的中心思想，也有一些文章的中心思想貫穿全文，并沒有用一句話明確表達出來，這就要求學生學會歸納概括。每個段落往往也由一個主題句或幾個陳述句構成，它們在句中的位置不同，有時在開頭，首先點明本段大意，有時在結尾，總結本段大意。例如第4小題，短文開頭的句子“A cafe in Japan is using robot waiter controlled (控制 )from home by the disabled.”為本文的主旨句。由此可知短文主要介紹了日本一家咖啡館正在使用由殘疾人在家控制的機器人服務生。故答案選B。
