Today, however, a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to appear in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes, and colors. But they all have the same type of man-made “brain”. Leading the robot revolution （革命）are industrial(企业) robots that work in factories. Industrial（工业） robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots arent as friendly and bright as those you saw in Star Wars. But, their makers say, todays home robots “walk”, sense objects(感知物体) in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody is perfect.We may laugh at home robot today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths（波长） of light, and hear certain sounds. Thats because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robot may also be equipped with devices that pick up information humans cant. To understand what their sensing devices(传感器) pick up is a hard job. Remember, manmade brains handle(处理)information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks likeusing only zeroes and ones.（1）From the passage, we can see that factory robots _.A . help to improve other types of robotsB . are most active in industrial revolutionC . are playing a more important role than other types of robotsD . are the tallest type among robots（2）It seems that home robots are _.A . more widely used than factory robotsB . less common than factory robotsC . capable of doing any kind of houseworkD . free from making mistakes while performing(执行) duties（3）Robots may deal with information that humans cant. Which of the following is not one of the reasons?A . They do not have so many limits as humans do.B . They have man-made brains.C . They may be equipped with a special kind of sensing device.D . They handle information by using zeroes and ones.（4）The development of robots suggests that _.A . science and technology are developing fastB . people are interested in new inventionsC . machines are more capable than humansD . robots can be very interesting（5）According to this passage, present home robots _.A . are better than human in seeing and hearingB . are as capable as those in Star WarsC . can pick up objects more quickly than humansD . sometimes perform wrong actions5. （8分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Kite surfing (风筝滑浪) is a kind of water sport.
