In recent years scientists have built a special robot to accompany astronauts on space missions (任务). Because this robot looks and moves like a person, scientists call it a humanoid robot. The latest model of the humanoid robot is known as R2, short for Robonaut 2.R2 was first launched into space on February 24, 2011. It was built by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the car producer General Motors (GM).R2 weighs 330 pounds and costs $2.5 million to build. It has arms and a head- filled with vision equipmentbut no legs. Its brain, or computer, is in its stomach. R2s arms can hold 20 pounds. Each bendable finger has 5 pounds of grasping force. R2s hands are also skillful. Since its hands are shaped like human hands, R2 can use human tools to complete tasks traditionally performed by astronauts. Astronauts absolutely have their day packed from the minute they wake up until they go to bed. If Robonaut can provide just an hours worth of relief to the astronauts doing something they dont want to do, that would make it worth it right there, says Nic Radford, the deputy project manager of R2.One advantage of working with R2 will be that ii cant complain about its work! Astronauts will also appreciate the fact that the robot can perform its duties without constant supervision (监管). R2 can be assigned a task and then checked on periodically. If R2 does not complete a task correctly, astronauts will be able to make minor adjustments to adapt (适应) the robots behavior so that the task gets done right.R2 is still in the design stage of development, which means that scientists are frequently testing it and looking for ways to improve it. Right now, humanoid robots do not have the protective equipment needed to work outside the space station. As technology advances, humanoid robots will be able to help astronauts with dangerous tasks as well as routine ones.In the future, humanoid robots will be astronauts eyes in space, going to places considered too difficult or unsafe for astronauts to explore. Some of them will be mounted on wheels to explore the surface of planets or asteroids (小行星). The robots will be able to send back videos and help astronauts gather information about the atmospheres of these places.One outcome of using these humanoid robots will be a greater understanding of the interaction between humans and robots. NASA engineers believe that when humans and robots combine forces and work together, the results will be better than what either could achieve alone. John Olson, a director at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C, says that the project will allow us to go farther and achieve more than we can probably even imagine today.（1）According to the passage, we know that R2 _. A . has skillful arms and legsB . looks and moves like a personC . hasnt been launched yetD . provides just one hours relief（2）We can learn from the passage that _. A . R2 can only perform its duties with constant supervisionB . R2 is designed to only help astronauts deal with routine tasksC . R2 will be able to work outside the space station in the futureD . R2 has already taken the place of the astronauts eyes in space（3）John Olson believes that _. A . humanoid robots will be better at understanding humansB . astronauts will go farther in space than humanoid robotsC . humans will achieve more goals with the help of humanoid robotsD . robots will gather information about the atmospheres of the earth18. （4分）阅读理解 Jack is 10 years old, and I am his pencil.
