worlds safest and tallest structureCWorking outside the International Space Station （ISS）, an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris（碎片）that damages his spacesuitAlarmed, he realizes hes just seconds from disasterMoving fast, his prepared robot partner slaps（拍打）an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuitHuge sighs of relief fill the ISSInside, the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalkers life controls everything the robot avatar has done including rescuing its human partner while it works outside the space stationR2:The Real DealA robot companion can come in handy to space travelers, whether theyre as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon baseSpace-travelling avatars, controlled remotely by humans are still a conceptBut earlier in the year 2011, NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first timeIts called R2, short for Robonaut 2The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be testedNASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts“Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans,” says NASAs Matt OndlerR2 is controlled by humans using laptops Its programmed to perform a number of small tasks, such as “find an object” In most situations, humans are still far better with their hands than robotsBut thats not necessarily true in space, where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy glovesAnd since they dont need to eat, breathe, or go to the bathroom, robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs R2 isnt ready for spacewalks yet, but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible“Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three Ds: jobs that are dirty, dull, and dangerous,” says OndlerTo The MoonSomeday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moonSending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a humanA robot is stronger, can survive in tighter spaces, and doesnt need airEven better, robots dont care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth Once on the moon, the robonaut could perform experiments, send live video back to Earth, talk to classrooms full of kids, and explore the lunar surfaceR2 will be able to move using legs, or by attaching its torso（躯干）to a four-wheeled rover（探测器） and becoming part of vehicleAnd when R2s battery is low, it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juiceAll in all, a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!The future R2 would be designed to operate by itselfBut for difficult tasks, a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video gameNASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missionsSo the next time your mom complains that youre spending too much time on video games, just tell her youre training for a job with NASA51In paragraph1, the writer gives a detailed description of a space accident to Astress the danger of an astronauts walk in spaceBtell readers the unforgettable experience of an astronautCshow his concern for the present situation of space walkDintroduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts52Why does the writer say Robonaut 2 is “The Real Deal”?AIt may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costsBIt has been programmed to help astronauts with three DsCIt is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beingsDIt proves to be a good companion for space travelers53By saying“All in all, a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!”, the writer means that Aan ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundingsBan ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on EarthCa future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled roverDa future robot is stronger and will handle any difficulty in space easily54It can be learned from the passage that Athe future R2 will perform experiments without human controlBhumans are much smarter with their hands than robots in spaceCsomeday humans might control an avatar on the moonDsending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robotDThe end of my sophomore year was approachingMom called me at the dorm one evening during
