苏州某校牛津译林版七年级英语下册阅读理解训练含答案

1 牛津译林版七年级英语下册阅读理解训练含答案 （一） By 2055, about 40 percent of the population in Japan will be over 65 years old. Thus Japanese scientists hope that robots will be the answer to the serious question -what to do with an ageing population（人口）. Today, some robots are already cleaning floors in about 10 buildings around the country, including a skyscraper（摩天大楼） in central Tokyo. The robots work at night after office workers have gone home. They even take the lift to move from one floor to another. However, such robots are still rare（稀少） in Japan. Japanese scientists are trying to build robots smart enough to meet the needs of the elderly（老人）in the country. As Japans population grows older and its workers are getting fewer, scientists say new types of robots will play an important part in society because there wont be enough people to do some jobs. “We have to make full use of the time. We have to build smart robots. You know, in the future, there will be little choice but to get some help from robots.” said a scientist. 1. What problem will Japan have by 2055? A.
