　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　(2011·深圳二調(diào))

　　Robots have proved to be valuable tools for soldiers, surgeons and homeowners hoping to keep the carpet clean. But in each case, they are designed and built specifically for the job. Now there is a movement under way to build multipurpose machines—robots that can move about in changing environments such as offices or living rooms and work with their hands.

　　All-purpose robots are not, of course, a new idea. “It's been 5 or 10 years from happening for about 50 years，” says Eric Berger, co-director of the Personal Robotics Program at Willow Garage, a Silicon Valley organization. The delay is in part because even simple tasks require a huge set of capabilities. For a robot to fetch a mug, for example, it needs to make sense of data gathered by a variety of sensors—laser scanners identifying potential blocking objects, cameras searching for the target, force feedback in the fingers that grasp the mug, and more. Yet Berger and other experts are confident that real progress could be made in the next decade.

　　The problem, according to Willow Garage, is the lack of a common platform for all that computational effort. Instead of enlarging the capabilities of a single machine, everyone is designing robots and the software to control them, from the ground up. To help change this, Willow Garage is currently producing 25 copies of its model PR2 ( Personal Robot 2), a two-armed, wheeled machine that can switch off the electricity, open doors and move through a room. Ten of the robots will stay in-house, but 10 more will go to outside research groups, and everyone will share their advances.

　　This way,

　　Berger says, if you want to build the robotic equivalent (等同物) of a Twitter, you won't start by constructing a computer. “You build the thing that's new.”

　　本文是一篇科普說明文，簡要介紹了全能機(jī)器人的發(fā)展?fàn)顩r、研發(fā)困境和解決方案。

　　1．The robots are mentioned to do some specific jobs EXCEPT in ________.

　　A. battle fields

　　B. operation room

　　C. people's houses

　　D. wild fields

　　答案：D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句中的“soldiers，surgeons and homeowners”可知機(jī)器人已應(yīng)用于戰(zhàn)場、手術(shù)室和家庭，并沒有提到D項(xiàng)，故答案為D。

　　2．The multipurpose robot may be identified as a machine that ________.

　　A．can move about in changing environments and work with their hands

　　B. can make sense of data gathered by a variety of sensors

　　C. has a huge set of abilities to finish all the simple tasks

　　D. has identifying laser scanners, searching cameras and force feedback

　　答案：A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章首段第三句內(nèi)容可知A項(xiàng)正確。

　　3．According to Willow Garage, we will make real progress in building all-purpose robots if ________.

　　A．everyone designs robots and the software to control them

　　B．they can produce 25 copies of its model PR2

　　C．people can enlarge the capabilities of a single machine

　　D．people can start by constructing a computer

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段前兩句內(nèi)容可知全能機(jī)器人的研發(fā)困境是缺少計(jì)算機(jī)操作平臺(tái)，而讓單個(gè)機(jī)器人擁有更多的功能是讓全能機(jī)器人的研發(fā)得到實(shí)質(zhì)性的進(jìn)展的方法，C項(xiàng)正確。

　　4．Willow Garage is currently producing 25 copies of its model PR2 so as to ________.

　　A. design robots and the software to control them

　　B．change the way of new robot construction research

　　C．open doors and go to outside research groups

　　D．go through the room and stay in house

　　答案：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段可知，Willow Garage的做法是為了改變目前的研究方法。

　　5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. To build all-purpose robots is an absolutely new movement under way.

　　B. Building all-purpose robots was delayed because of its complexity.

　　C. The idea to build all-purpose robots appeared about 50 years ago.

　　D. Everyone will share their advances for they are all-pur-pose robots.

　　答案：C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一、二句的內(nèi)容可知制造全能機(jī)器人的想法五十年前就有了，故選C。

　　(2011·南通名校聯(lián)考)

　　“Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story ！” Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly.

　　Suddenly, we were interrupted by clapping. “Terrific，” the director said, stepping up to the stage from the aisle (過道). “Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more？”

　　The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play. “Perfect，” the director said.

　　“Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren.” A pang of sadness hit me. If only I could read to my real grandchild!

　　I had a granddaughter, but I'd never met her.

　　Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her—but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son's ex-wife (前妻), but it seemed that she didn't want to be found.

　　I'd just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play.

　　At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals (排練) went well, and finally the day of the show arrived. The performance was great. “You all looked so natural up there，” one of my friends said.

　　Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶點(diǎn)). I walked over to one of the girls in the play.Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind (一片忙亂) that we never really got to talk. “How's my granddaughter？” I joked.

　　“Fine！” she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.

　　I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question.

　　“What's your mother's name？”

　　She told me.

　　I was still in shock.

　　“And what's your father's name？” I asked. It was my son.

　　She'd only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we've stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.

　　這是一篇記敘文，介紹一位祖母在參演一個(gè)節(jié)目時(shí)意外找到自己的孫女的故事。

　　6．What was the author doing at the beginning of the story?

　　A. Telling a story.

　　B. Playing a game.

　　C. Preparing for a play.

　　D. Acting in a movie.

　　答案：C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段提到導(dǎo)演和觀眾，由此可知這里她在排練一個(gè)節(jié)目，即為即將公演的話劇做準(zhǔn)備。

　　7．Why did the author feel “a pang of sadness” at the words of the director?

　　A. The director's words reminded her of her lost granddaughter.

　　B. The director's words hurt her so badly.

　　C. She wished that she had a real grandchild.

　　D. The director wasn't content with her performance.
