Question

3．A four-wheeled robot，known as Rover，has been tested by a team at Sydney University．It was used to move a herd of cows from a field to a dairy（牛奶場(chǎng)）．
Researchers were amazed at how easily cows accepted the presence of the robot．They were not disturbed by it and the gathering process was calm and effective．Because the robot moved in a steady manner it allowed cows to move at their own speed，which was important in reducing injuries among cattle，said Dr Kendra Kerrisk，dairy researcher and associate professor．
The robot was adapted from one that was already being used to monitor fruit and trees on farms．A team at Sydney University's Centre for Field Robotics improved the robot so that it could be put in a field with cows in order for the researchers to gather data on robot-cow interaction．
The robot needs to be operated by a human but it's hoped that in the future a version can be developed that will be fully automated．As well as gathering cows a new version could also collect information useful for farmers．
Using robots to get cows to the dairy will be better for their well-being．"The research is in its very early stages but robotic technologies certainly have the potential to transform dairy farming，"said Dr．Kerrisk．"When we have discussed this concept with farmers they have been extremely excited and we have had a series of calls and emails asking how they can get hold of one，"she added．
The robot could also cut down the number of accidents involving humans on farms．Most dairy farmers in Australia use bikes to round up their cattle and they are one of the leading causes of injury．The team hopes that by using the robot to do the job instead，accident rates could fall．
61．The robot Rover was mainly used toC．
A．milk the cows on the field   
B．feed the cows with food
C．round up cows on dairy farms
D．take farmers around the farm
62．Why did the cows，accept the robot easily？A
A．Because it moved at a steady pace．
B．Because it didn't hurt the cattle．
C．Because it was calm and kind．
D．Because it allowed cows to walk at a fast speed．
63．At present，the robot RoverC．
A．can go around the farm automatically
B．can help researchers to gather data
C．has to be operated by a human  
D．has been available in the market
64．What can we learn from Dr．Kerrisk's words in the fifth paragraph？B
A．The research will soon be finished．
B．The robot will be popular among farmers．
C．Robotic technology has highly developed．
D．Dairy farming has much potential．
65．What's the main idea of the text？D
A．A team at Sydney University developed a robot．
B．Using robots on farms can reduce injuries．
C．Dairy farming in Australia needs transforming．
D．Robot used to round up cows is a hit with farmers．

Answer 1

分析 本文寫(xiě)了一種機(jī)器人用于農(nóng)場(chǎng)里的幫助養(yǎng)牛和圍捕奶牛以減少對(duì)牛的傷害，很可能將來(lái)成為一種熱賣的產(chǎn)品．

解答 61．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章最后一段，Most dairy farmers in Australia use bikes to round up their cattle 大部分農(nóng)夫用自行車來(lái)圍捕牛，牛很容易受傷，這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)就是用機(jī)器人來(lái)圍捕牛，所以答案選C．
62．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)句子 Because the robot moved in a steady manner it allowed cows to move at their own speed由于機(jī)器人以穩(wěn)定的方式移動(dòng)，它允許奶牛以自己的速度移動(dòng)，可以推斷出它很容易被牛接受，故答案選A．
63．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子The robot needs to be operated by a human，這種機(jī)器人需要由人來(lái)控制，所以答案選C．
64．B  推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中句子When we have discussed this concept with farmers they have been extremely excited 可以推斷出對(duì)于未來(lái)產(chǎn)品的討論農(nóng)夫們都很興奮，由此可以推斷未來(lái)這種機(jī)器人一定受歡迎，所以答案選B．
65．D 主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章最后一段，Most dairy farmers in Australia use bikes to round up their cattle and they are one of the leading causes of injury．The team hopes that by using the robot to do the job instead，accident rates could fall，可以看出如果用機(jī)器人代替人來(lái)圍捕他們的牛的話將會(huì)減少傷害，所以用來(lái)圍捕奶牛的機(jī)器人是農(nóng)民的熱門(mén)產(chǎn)品，答案選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說(shuō)明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)
