51、us robots,” the studys authors wrote.Robots built for precise,repetitive movements in a controlled environment dont do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions.And they arent especially safe around humans,because theyre made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially

56、ontrol.B.Theyre too heavy to move.C.They cant predict conditions.D.They cant behave well all the time.答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Robots built for precise,repetitive movements in a controlled environment dont do so well on rough terrains or in unpredictable conditions.”以及本段內(nèi)容可知,傳統(tǒng)機(jī)器人無法在崎嶇的地形上很好地運(yùn)行,此外,由于沉重的金

57、屬部件,傳統(tǒng)機(jī)器人可能會對人體產(chǎn)生傷害,據(jù)此可推斷出,傳統(tǒng)機(jī)器人的缺點(diǎn)是他們不能一直表現(xiàn)得很好。34.One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobots .A.silicone bodyB.complex componentsC.precise movementsD.flexible power source答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Even if engineers build a silicone body,its still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions

58、of essential parts,such as a source of power.”可知,即使工程師利用硅酮制造出了軟體機(jī)器人的身體,但是制作柔韌性強(qiáng)的關(guān)鍵部件仍然面臨巨大的挑戰(zhàn),比如動力來源。據(jù)此可知,最大的挑戰(zhàn)之一是柔韌性強(qiáng)的動力來源。35.Whats the possible application of “Octobot”?A.Medical research.B.Life rescue.C.Machine operation.D.House cleaning.答案B解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章最后一段“Although soft robotics is still in its e

59、arly stage,it holds great promise for several applications,such as search-rescue operations and exploration,”可知,盡管對軟體機(jī)器人的開發(fā)和研究還處于早期階段,但它適用于諸如搜索救援和探索等任務(wù),故選B項(xiàng)。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。How to start a conversation with someone you dont know Introduce YourselfIts
