Question

【題目】閱讀短文，按要求回答問(wèn)題。
In 1986, the Honda automotive company wanted to see if it could make a human-like robot, to help in home, play football, balance on one foot, and even dance. Over the years there were some problems but soon the researchers managed to get a robot named ASIMO. It could walk on uneven(不平坦的) surfaces, and move its center of gravity like we do to climb stairs.
More recently, ASIMO was improved so it could turn round and run at six kilometers per hour, using its upper body to control movement.
ASIMO is designed to be friendly. It is hoped that robots like this could be used to help elderly people in their home. Honda are also using this technology to help people with disabilities. It can also push a cart(手推車) and open and close doors. ASIMO can even shake hands. It stands 120 centimeters tall, so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down. It can hold two kilos in its hands. It can even carry a tray without dropping the contents.
So, where next for this kind of robot? Well, while ASIMO is attractive, it is still controlled by a human. Researchers in the USA are working on the robots that can learn about the world around them, and give a reply to human touch and voice. The robots are even learning to recognize(辨認(rèn)) objects, people and vocabulary. Soon the descendants(后代) of these robots may be serving you drinks or helping with jobs at home and at work.
（1）At what speed could ASIMO run after it was improved?
（2）Can ASIMO make tea or push a cart?
（3）Why is ASIMO designed to be 120 centimeters tall?
（4）How many kilos can ASIMO hold in its hands?
（5）Put the main ideas (A-D) in the order that the passage is arranged.A. Users for ASIMO
B. What similar robots will be able to do in the future
C. Background and history of ASIMO
D. Recent improvements to ASIMO

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）It could run at six kilometers per /every/one/an/each hour.或（At） six kilometers per /every/one/an/each hour.
（2）It can push a cart.
（3）(Because/So that) it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down.
（4）(It can hold) Two/2(kilos in its hands).
（5）C,D,A,B
【解析】文章大意：本文介紹了機(jī)器人ASIMO 的發(fā)展和用途。ASIMO改善后，它能每小時(shí)跑6千米，它能幫助在家里的老年人。不久之后，這種機(jī)器人的后代會(huì)服務(wù)我們喝茶，在家里或工作上幫助我們。
（1）根據(jù)More recently, ASIMO was improved so it could turn round and run at six kilometers per hour, using its upper body to control movement.可知ASIMO改善后，它能每小時(shí)跑6千米，故為It could run at six kilometers per /every/one/an/each hour.或（At） six kilometers per /every/one/an/each hour.
（2）根據(jù)It can also push a cart(手推車) and open and close doors. 可知它會(huì)推車，故為It can push a cart.
（3）根據(jù)It stands 120 centimeters tall, so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down.可知它被設(shè)計(jì)成120厘米高，是因?yàn)楫?dāng)人們坐著的時(shí)候，它可以看見(jiàn)人們的臉，故為(Because/So that) it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down.
（4）根據(jù)It can hold two kilos in its hands.可知它的手可以承受2千克，故為(It can hold) Two/2(kilos in its hands).
（5）第一段介紹ASIMO的歷史，第二段介紹ASIMO最近的改善，第三段介紹ASIMO的使用者，第四段介紹未來(lái)的機(jī)器人將會(huì)做的事。故為CDAB。
