you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you,prepared by your very own kitchen robot?It might sound like science fiction,but professors at the university of Tokyo have taken the first step toward making that scenario a reality.The team recently introduced a humanoid kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests.When teatime is over,the robot can also wash the cups and put them away.In California,another interesting kitchen robot has been developed,called Readybot.It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets(橱柜) 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 problems to solve before robots can cook a complete meal.There are also many safety concerns(忧虑).Not everyone(especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house,manipulating hot pans and sharp knives.The European Commission recently funded(资助) 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.Compared with Readybot,which of the following is TRUE about the Japanese robot?A.It is more popular.B.It performs more jobs.C.It moves more quickly.D.It looks more like a person.答案D解析细节理解题。根据文中第二段最后一句UnliketheJapaneserobot,Readybotjustlooksmorelikealargeboxwitharmsandwheels.可知,和日本机器人相比,Readybot像一个带有胳膊和轮子的大箱子,所以日本机器人更像人。故选D项。2.What can Readybot be used to do?A.Drive you around.B.Clean your kitchen.C.Prepare food for you.D.Work for office workers.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文中第二段中的“Itcanpickupobjectsandeitherstorethemincabinets(橱柜)orputtheminthetrash.”可知,Readybot可用于打扫厨房。故选B项。3.Whats the meaning of the underlined word“manipulating”in the last paragraph?A.Inventing.B.Avoiding.C.Controlling.D.Making.答案C解析词义猜测题。根据“Noteveryone(especiallyparents)wouldbecomfortablewiththeideaofrobotsintheirhouse,manipulatinghotpansandsharpknives.”和上文的safetyconcerns可知,manipulate是“控制”的意思。故选C项。B导学号12194000Working from home is more and more popular as a means of escaping the nine-to-five office life.Why do you work under the eye of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your slippers?Armed with all the necessary thingstelephone,computer,e-mail and fax,many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues(同事) in the office.Being able to work wherever you like:from a busy city to a village,and not having to stand the daily things,make working from home an attractive choice.If you wish,you can even work on a river boat.So what will become of the office tomorrow?It is possible that many could go into computer space creating a new wave of virtual(虚拟的) offices.To reduce offices in inner-city areas,companies will have a workforce made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system.A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees(监视) the activity of each employee.A video screen would be created,as the need for e-mail or telephone becomes greater.Seeing the mood and expressions of work colleagues,managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen.Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively.As the companys life blood,the computer would contain a record of all conversations and communication for future reference and hold secret information such as accounts in password(口令) protected areas.4.The passage is mainly about .A.the importance of working in the futureB.how to escape your officeC.how to work with a computerD.virtual offices in the future答案D解析主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了未来的虚拟办公室及其特征。故选D项。5.According to the passage,which of the following things is NOT necessary for a virtual office?A.A manager.B.An office building.C.A telephone.D.A central processing computer.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第一段的“Beingabletoworkwhereveryoulike.Ifyouwish,youcanevenworkonariverboat.”可知,虚拟办公不需要固定的场所。6.Which of the following is an advantage of a virtual office?A.There arent strict time limits.B.Employees arent overseen by the manager.C.Employees neednt see each other every day.D.Less employees are needed in every company.答案A解析细节理解题。由文章首句“.asameansofescapingthenine-to-fiveofficelife.”可知,虚拟办公可以不必朝九晚五地上班,故该办公方式没有严格的时间限制。7.From the passage we can learn that .A.a computer is the only necessary thing in a virtual officeB.in a virtual office,all information is open to workersC.managers can observe their employees in a virtual officeD.the number of employees will be smaller in a virtual office答案C解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“.managerswouldhavetheabilitytoviewseveralemployeesatonceontheirscreen.”可知,C项内容符合题意。六、语篇填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。导学号12194001Life is always changing.What will life be
