take lunch breaks or even get paid. why? theyre robots!robots have long worked in factories, helping to build cars and electronic appliances. but todays robots dont just do the jobs of peoplethey actually look and act a lot like people. kansei, a robot from japan, has a plastic face covering 19 movable parts. the robot can make 36 facial expressions in response to different words. kansei shakes in fear at the word “war” and smiles when it hears the word “dinner”researchers in europe are going even further with icub, a “baby” robot. they are teaching it to speak and hold conversations.the ability to interact is crucial for robots that will one day work closely with humans, says robotics professor chrisatkeson. “this will require robots to understand what you say and how you are feeling and respond with appropriate emotions，” he told wr news.japanese scientist minoru asada agrees. he is building a robot called cb2 that acts like a real baby. “right now, it only goes, ah, ah. but as we develop its learning function, it will start saying more complex sentences and moving on its own，” asada says. “nextgeneration robots need to be able to learn and develop by themselves.”intelligent robot will become more important in the future, as populations age and the number of human workers declines in many countries. “were going to have many more old people and not enough young people to care for them，” says robot researcher matthew mason. “technology can help the old people live at home longer, instead of going to nursing homes.”篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了日本和欧洲高级智能机器人的最新发展及它们能为人类提供的服务。1what are some jobs robots already perform according to the passage?agreeting customers, producing factory goods, performing surgery.bbuilding

face.cactivate an automatic fire alarm.dback up its memory files.答案：b 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第二句“the robot can make 36 facial expressions in response to different words.”和最后一句中的关键信息“kansei shakes in fear at the

but very few are as lovable as the beachbota robot which will keep the audience entertained as it moves around creating beautiful masterpieces.an automatic pressure control allows the robot to use the right amount of force on the soft sand. seven motors ensure that the beachbot can arrange the rake prongs (尖头), allowing it to create “brush strokes” measuring two feet long and fifteen inches wide and tall. the rake can also be retracted at any time, enabling the robot to create the outline with multiple lines instead of a continuous one. its three cushioned balloonlike wheels not only help in painting smoother curves, but also allow the robot to drive over the artwork, without ruining it.of course all the skill and quickness are only possible because of the beachbots incredible “brain”， which has been programmed and turns images into paths that the robot can easily follow. an inbuilt laser scanner allows the detection of the four reflective poles that act as limits of its sand paintings. in addition, the inertial (惯性的) measurement unit allows the artist to make precise movements that become lines, patterns, and eventually beautiful shapes and images, some as big as 30 feet by 30 feet. while the beachbots artwork, which it completes in a speedy quick ten minutes is certainly impressive, what is even more so is watching the robot create ita sight its inventors suitably describe as “a magical show”the beachbot, which is still in the concept stage, is not quite ready for production. thats because it requires manual (靠人工的) pulling, especially when creating larger sand paintings. in addition, its inventors imagine future beachbots to be able to erase their own masterpieces, paint entire shorelines and even be proficient snow artists.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款可以在沙滩上作画的沙滩机器人。5what does the underlined word “one” in paragraph 2 refer to?athe outline.bthe robot.cthe line.dthe rake.答案：c指代判断题。根据画线词前面的“enabling the robot to create the outline with multiple lines instead of a continuous”可知，one指的是前面提到的线条。6how does the beachbot know what to draw?aby using an inbuilt laser scanner to receive a signal of painting.bby arranging seven motors to design the painting patterns.cby using a program to change images into paths.dby depending on a man to guide it on the scene.答案：c细节理解题。结合第三段中的“because of the beachbots incredible “brain”， which has been programmed and turns images into paths that the robot can easily follow”可知，这个沙滩机器人由软件控制，能够把图案转变成路径从而进行作画。7what helps the beachbot figure the boundaries to draw within?athe four reflective poles.bthe inertial measurement unit.cthe automatic pressure control.dthe three cushioned balloonlike wheels.答案：a细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“an inbuilt laser scanner allows the detection of the four reflective poles that act as limits of its sand paintings.”可知，这四个反射杆限制着它的作画范围。8why isnt the beachbot ready for production?ait cant complete paintings in a short time.bit cant create larger sand paintings.cit cant draw a continuous line.dit cant move all by itself now.答案：d推理判断题。从最后一段中的“which is still in the concept stage”及“because it requires manual (靠人工的) pulling”可知，这个沙滩机器人还不能独自作画，即它还需要人工帮助。.七选五technology and kids: 4 ways to unpluga recent report by common sense media found that over onethird of 0to 8yearolds studied had used a smartphone, ipad or a
