Question

【題目】

French and American doctors have done an operation (手術(shù)) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.

The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (膽囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通訊系統(tǒng)) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.

【1】The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means ________.

A.a special kind of robot invented by doctors.

B.something done to mend a robot.

C.an operation done by French and American doctors.

D.an operation done far away with the help of a robot.

【2】We use the robot in the operation because _________.

A.it can send messages in a high speed.

B.even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself.

C.it can make the operation safer and better.

D.operations can be done without doctors.

【3】Which of the following is NOT right?

A.Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

B.Robotic operation is good for doctor training.

C.Experts speak highly of robotic operation.

D.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A.An OperationB.Robotic Operation

C.How to do a Robotic OperationD.The problems of a Robotic Operation

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了機(jī)器人手術(shù)的操作實(shí)行以及專家和醫(yī)生對(duì)機(jī)器人利弊的評(píng)價(jià)。

【1】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段“Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.”和第五段“The robot moved the tools”可知是是在距離較遠(yuǎn)的醫(yī)生的指令下機(jī)器人給病人做手術(shù)。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations”可知使用機(jī)器人做手術(shù)是因?yàn)檫@樣的機(jī)器人手術(shù)可以更安全更好。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City”可知機(jī)器人做手術(shù)在美國(guó)實(shí)行了，A選項(xiàng)表述正確。根據(jù)最后一段第二句“it will improve doctor training”可知機(jī)器人手術(shù)對(duì)醫(yī)生的訓(xùn)練有益，B選項(xiàng)表述正確。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation.”可知專家的評(píng)價(jià)很高，C選項(xiàng)表述正確。文章第三段“Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen”提到觀察病人的是醫(yī)生，機(jī)器人是在執(zhí)行醫(yī)生的指令進(jìn)行手術(shù)，D選項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤。故選D。

【4】標(biāo)題概括題。第一段“Robotic Operation”提到關(guān)鍵詞機(jī)器人手術(shù)， 二三四段在介紹手術(shù)的具體經(jīng)過(guò)，五六七段是在發(fā)表專家對(duì)機(jī)器人手術(shù)的看法，講述利弊，可推斷文章的主題是機(jī)器人手術(shù)。故選B。
