Question

7．Ladies and gentlemen，say hello to PIBOT．Developed in South Korea，this little machine is about the size of a child's toy，and has a head that kind of looks like a toaster （烤箱）．It's also able to fly a plane．
      The researchers responsible for the robot's development have actually managed to program it with all the knowledge and skills necessary to operate a standard airplane．Through a built-in webcam （網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像機），PIBOT is able to gather information about its surroundings-such as location，airspeed，and weather conditions．
       With all of this information，it's able to make decisions in much the same way as a human pilot would．It's already completed one successful test flight-sort of．In the video presented at IROS 2014 in Chicago，PIBOT was seen guiding the airplane through a short test flight in a flight simulator （模擬器）-a process which included both takeoff and landing．
       It's super cool．
      Now，it's worth mentioning that-even as impressive as PIBOT is-we aren't going to be seeing it in any real airplanes at any point in the near future．Although the little robot is certainly able to operate a plane，it doesn't quite have the skills necessary to address some of the real world situations met by pilots-such as bad weather or mix-ups on the runway．It doesn't meet the government's rules，either．
      The inventors aren't terribly discouraged，however．They expect that it's only a matter of time before they manage to get PIBOT up to the necessary standards．When the day comes，we might see airlines put to work a whole new type of pilot； one who never tires，never gets hungry，and never makes mistakes．
      So…if you've a career in aviation （航空），it might soon be time to start planning for retirement （退休）．
28．We know from the text that PIBOTA．
A．is designed to operate a plane      
B．can serve as a toaster
C．was developed in Chicago            
D．is very large  
29．In the presented video，PIBOTD．
A．competed with a human pilot
B．completed several test flights
C．made decisions totally like humans
D．successfully guided a plane to take off and land
30．Why won't PIBOT be put into use？C
A．It can't predict weather conditions．
B．It doesn't have the skills to operate a plane．
C．It can't deal with real world situations．
D．It can't gather information abo ut its surroundings．
31．It can be learned from the text thatB．
A．PIBOT won't make any mistake in a flight
B．the inventors are confident about the future of PIBO．
C．the researchers will have to abandon the plan
D．PIBOT will surely replace human pilots one day．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了PIBOT成功通過了測試，能引導(dǎo)飛機起飛和降落，以及PIBOT的相關(guān)其他信息．

解答 28．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第一段中的It's also able to fly a plane和第二段中的to operate a standard airplane可知，PIBOT是一個駕駛飛機的機器人．
29．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第三段中的It's already completed one successful test flight…a process which included both takeoff and landing可知，PIBOT成功通過了測試，能引導(dǎo)飛機起飛和降落．
30．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第五段中的Although the little robot…real world situations met by pilots可知，PIBOT還不具備處理真實世界情況的能力．
31．B．推理判斷題．由倒數(shù)第二段中的The inventors aren't terribly discouraged…get PIBOT up to the necessary standards可知，發(fā)明者對PIBOT的未來非常有信心．

點評 本文是一個廣告類閱讀理解，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
