【題目】

In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called Readybot. It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets (櫥柜) or put them in the trash. It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself. Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.

Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge. They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks. Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can do jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well.

Clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns (憂慮). Not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house,manipulatinghot pans and sharp knives. The European Commission recently funded(資助) a project to study these concerns. According to lead researcher Professor Chris Melhuish, “Enabling robots to work safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics.”

【1】

A. is more popular B. performs more jobs

【解析】試題分析：本文介紹了一種新發(fā)明的廚房機器人，介紹了這種機器人的功能及家庭對此的反映。

【1】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.可知，與Readybot相比較日本機器人更像一個人。故選D。

【2】B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called Readybot. It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets (櫥柜) or put them in the trash. It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself.可知，Readybot現(xiàn)在可以被用來清理廚房。故選B。

【3】C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第二句前半句Not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house（不是每個人（尤其是父母）將會很舒適，如果家里有個機器人。）可知，后半句manipulatinghot pans and sharp knives.表示用機器人控制熱鍋和鋒利的刀子。推知劃線單詞的意思是“控制”，故選C。

【4】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一、二句Clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns (憂慮). Not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house,manipulatinghot pans and sharp knives.可知，父母可能認為廚房機器人可能是危險的。故選C。

【題目】Your house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(難為情) when they’re in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(攝入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

【1】The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.

A.their home comforts B.their body shape

C.house buying D.healthy diets

【2】A home environment in blue can help people ____.

A.digest food better B.reduce food intake

C.burn more calories D.regain their appetites

【3】What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A.Eat quickly. B.Play fast music

C.Use smaller spoons D.Turn down the lights

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Is Your House Making You Fat?

B.Ways of Serving Dinner

C. Effects of Self-Consciousness

D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
