Unit 2 Robots .阅读理解AAlmost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white gown, but not the wedding conductor, because she was fixed to her chair.The nuptials at this ceremony were led by “IFairy”， a 4foot (1.5meter) tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails(辫子). Sundays wedding was the first time that a marriage had been led by a robot, according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.“Please lift the brides veil(面纱)，” the robot said in a tinny voice, waving its arms in the air as the newlyweds kissed in front of guests.The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo, where the IFairy wore a wreath of flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away, where a man clicked commands into a computer.Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world, with the government actively supporting the field for future growth. Industrial models in factories are now standard, but recently Japanese companies are making a push to inject robots into everyday life.Honda makes a walking childshaped robot, and other firms have developed them to entertain the elderly or play baseball. Kokoro, whose corporate goal is to “touch the hearts of the people”， also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and lifelike android models that can smile and laugh. The company is a subsidiary(附属公司) of Sanrio Co., which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.“This was a lot of fun. I think that Japanese have a strong sense that robots are our friends. Those in the robot industry mostly understand this, but people mainly want robots near them that serve some purposes，” said bride Satoko Inoue, 36, who works at manufacturer Kokoro Co.The IFairy sells for about 6.3 million yen ($57,000) and three are in use in Singapore, the US and Japan, according to company spokeswoman Kayako Kido.语篇导读本文为说明文，介绍了能主持婚礼的机器人IFairy是如何主持婚礼以及其市场前景。1The underlined word “nuptials” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by _.Aconductors Bbrides CrobotsDweddings解析 D词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，机器人主持的是婚礼。由此可猜测，nuptial的同义词是wedding，意为“婚礼”，故选D项。2What can we learn from what bride Satoko Inoue said?AA robot has been widely used to serve the people in Japan.BIts very interesting to work with a robot in her company.CJapanese consider a robot can do many things like their friends.DPeople need robots that can help them in some ways.解析 D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的people mainly want robots near them that serve some purposes可知，人们需要机器人能够在某方面帮助他们。原文中的want对应D项中的need, serve some purposes对应help them in some ways，故选D项。3Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AIFairy, a Robot Conducts Wedding in TokyoBThe Development of RobotsCAll Kinds of Robots in JapanDWedding Customs in Japan解析 A标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了在日本机器人如何主持婚礼，并介绍了机器人的发展前景，故选A项。BAre You a Saver or a Spender?4_ This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. “Putting money away for a rainy day” is another way to talk about saving for the future.People who hate to spend money are known as “tightwads”， while those who like to get the most value for their money are called“thrifty”. 5._ A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money “like a drunken sailor” or “like theres no tomorrow”In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. 6._ Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit(存款) pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. 7._ People can withdraw their money early, but they have to pay a penalty(罚金)In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. It is reported that in 2000, Americans had a household savings rate of 7%. 8._ Many European countries have higher rates, but Americans save more than families in Japan.APeople are willing to save money for the future.BA penny saved is a penny earned.CBefore gold, even kings take off their bats.DThese include banks and credit unions.ELonger terms and larger amounts pay higher interest.FA thrifty person is different from a spendthrift.GThis year the rate is expected to be a little more than 2%.语篇导读本文为说明文，向我们普及了最基本的金融知识。4解析 B总分关系。B项A penny saved is a penny earned引出全文说明的对象，故选B项。5解析 F顺承关系。F项中的thrifty和spendthrift与上下文中的关键词对应，故选F项。6解析 D诠释关系。本段下文Credit unions are.是对D项credit unions的解释。而D项中的banks又是上文说到where to put their money最常见的地方，故选D项。7解析 E递进关系。本段主要讲到存款利息与存款时间的长短和所存金额大小有关，故选E项(时间长、金额大的存款利息高)。8解析 G递进关系。本段主要讲述存款率。G项与存款率相关，且与上下文联系密切，故选G项。.完形填空 I was told just now in the hospital that I was having a Bells palsy attack, a condition in which the face muscles tighten because of stress.
