14．Scientists have been trying to make soft and friendly robots，like Disney's Baymax，for years．
And they have finally done it．
The"Octobot"is the world's first soft robot．It is not like the scary，metal robots in movies
like Star Wars or The Terminator．Instead，it is made of soft material，and looks just like an
octopus （章魚）．
The Octobot is also the first soft robot that controls itself without batteries or wires，according
to its researchers at Harvard University in the US．
The hope is that one day，soft robots like this will help humans do difficult medical surgery
and save lives in emergencies like earthquakes and storms．
Scientists have been trying for years to make soft robots that are safe around humans，but this
is the first time it has happened．It means that humans won't be in danger of being hurt if the robot
accidentally touches you too hard．
The Octobot gets power from a chemical reaction．It pushes gas through the robot's body and
makes its legs dance．
They used a 3．D printer to create its silicone （硅酮） body．
"Humans ourselves，we're very soft and soft robots are made of materials that are safe for us
to interact with，"PhD student Ryan Truby，one of the Octobot researchers，said．
Barry Trimmer，the editor?in?chief of Soft Robotics，said that，"Soft robots and soft material
technologies are definitely needed if we expect them to help us in the home or in natural
environments．"
They may not all look like an octopus in the future，though．Scientists have studied jellyfish
and even cockroaches in their research so far．
64．What is the Octobot？（不多于5 個單詞）The world's first soft robot．
65．How will soft robots help humans？（不多于9 個單詞）Do difficult medical surgery and save lives in emergencies．
66．How does the Octobot get power？（不多于4 個單詞）From a chemical reaction．
67．In what ways is the Octobot different from other robots？（不多于10 個單詞）It's soft and controls itself without batteries or wires．．
分析 介紹了世界上第一臺軟機器人的一些特點，以及可以給人類帶來哪些好處．
解答 1．The world's first soft robot．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章的介紹The"Octobot"is the world's first soft robot，Octobot是世界上第一臺軟機器人．
2．Do difficult medical surgery and save lives in emergencies．細節(jié)題．通過文章The hope is that one day，soft robots like this will help humans do difficult medical surgeryand save lives in emergencies like earthquakes and storms．這句可知，該機器人可以幫助人類做一些困難的手術，從而挽救在地震和暴風中的受難者．
3．From a chemical reaction．細節(jié)題．根據(jù)The Octobot gets power from a chemical reaction可知，該機器人通過化學反應來充電．
4．It's soft and controls itself without batteries or wires．細節(jié)題．The Octobot is also the first soft robot that controls itself without batteries or wires這句話告訴我們該機器人和一般的不一樣在于，它不需要電池或電線．
點評 做閱讀表達題時，理清文章的脈絡、掌握文章的主旨大意，并能運用簡潔的語言表達．回答要有針對性觀點要明確．不要摘抄文章原句．
