考点规范练19(Module 1)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Robots have proven very useful in different situations.But those robots are small remote-controlled tanks with a mechanical arm,and they can get hung up on narrow stairwells(楼梯井) and are stopped by ladders.“A lot of the places where you do disaster recovery are only accessible for people,”says Marc Raibert,the president of Boston Dynamics,which is providing advice and help for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA)—the scientific research department of the U.S. military(军队)—to create the most advanced robots on Earth.“If you’re a humanoid—a machine or creature with the appearance and qualities of a human—access can be increased and you can use available tools.”In the future DARPA hopes,a humanoid robot will be able to drive trucks,and enter power plants.
That future is a long way off.“Simple movements like squatting(蹲) are almost impossible for something with metal parts and skin that cannot bend,”says Raibert.Still,recent progress is impressive enough that the military has begun to bet on legged bots.The Office of Naval Research is working with Virginia Tech on a humanoid firefighting robot,and Dynamics showed off two of its latest projects:Cheetah,a four-legged robot capable of running 28 miles per hour,and the Legged Squad Support System,a big and awkward headless robot funded by DARPA and the Marine Corps to help carry things in places like mountain areas.
“Half the land on Earth is too rough,sandy,or rocky for wheeled things,”says Raibert.“Humans and animals can go to those places.They are the only examples of successful systems that do what we’re trying to do.”
None of the walking robots is meant to fight.They’re designed to put out fires and clean up industrial accidents.But they are all funded by the military.“I’m well aware of how the world works,”says Dennis Hong,founding director of Virginia Tech’s robotics lab.“Robots for me are tools to help society,not to fight in wars.But once a technology leaves our lab,there’s no way to control how people can use it.”
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。未来的机器人将会设计得越来越像人类,并能完成复杂的任务。
1.In Marc Raibert’s opinion,robots need to be designed like humans to 　　　. 
A.accomplish complex tasks
B.be controlled efficiently
C.survive disasters
D.appear friendly
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If you’re a humanoid...access can be increased and you can use available tools...a humanoid robot will be able to drive trucks,and enter power plants”可知,类人化的机器人可以到更多的地方,完成复杂的任务。
2.Which of the following is most likely to be Cheetah?

答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cheetah,a four-legged robot capable of running 28 miles per hour”可知,Cheetah是四脚着地的机器人,故选C项。
3.The underlined word “They”in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to 　　　. 
A.Cheetah and the Legged Squad Support System
B.humans and animals
C.wheeled things
D.legged robots
答案:A
解析:篇章结构题。根据第三段内容可知,地球上一半的道路都不适合轮子通过,但是人类和动物可以到达这些地方,所以人们模仿自己和动物设计出了“有腿的”机器人。上段中提到的Cheetah可以一小时跑28英里,Legged Squad Support System可以在山区等地方帮助人们驮东西,因此说这两个机器人是研发成功的例子,能够做我们人类做的事情。
4.How does Dennis Hong feel about using robots in wars?
A.Surprised.　　　　　　　B.Cautious.
C.Uninterested. D.Helpless.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Robots for me are tools to help society,not to fight in wars.But once a technology leaves our lab,there’s no way to control how people can use it”可知,Dennis Hong认为设计机器人是为了造福社会,而不是为了战争,但是一旦一项技术离开了他们的实验室,他们就无法控制人们怎样利用这项技术。由此可推测,他对于机器人被使用在战争中感到无能为力。

Ⅲ.语篇填空
(2015山西质量监测)
As a man was passing some elephants,he suddenly stopped,confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope 1.(tie) to their front leg.No chains,no cages.2. was obvious that the elephants could,at any time,break 3. from their bonds but for some reason,they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt 4.(get) away.“Well,”5. trainer said,“when they are very young and much 6.(small),we use the same size rope to tie them and,at that age,it’s enough to hold them.As they grow up,they are conditioned to believe the rope 7. still hold them,so they never try to run free.”
The man was amazed.These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but 8. they believed they couldn’t,they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants,how many of us go through life 9.(hang) onto a belief that we cannot do something,10.(simple) because we failed at it once before?Failure is part of learning;we should never give up the struggle in life.
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文通过大象被绳子拴住却不挣脱的现象告诉我们:不要固步自封,不要因为担心失败而放弃拼搏。
1.tied　解析:考查非谓语动词。大象仅由一根系在前腿的小绳拴住。rope和tie之间是动宾关系,故此处用过去分词表被动。
2.It　解析:考查代词。显而易见,大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子。分析句子成分可知,It在句中做形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语。
3.away　解析:考查动词短语。break away from...“从……突然挣脱,从……逃脱”。
4.to get　解析:考查非谓语动词。他看见附近有位驯兽师,就问为什么这些动物只是站在那里而不试图逃跑呢?make attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”。
5.the　解析:考查冠词。这位驯兽师说:“当它们还年幼、(体型)尚较小时,我们使用同样大小的绳子拴住它们。”此处用定冠词the表示特指。
6.smaller　解析:考查形容词比较级。much修饰形容词比较级。
7.can　解析:考查情态动词。当它们长大时,它们就习惯性地认为绳子依然能够拴住它们。此处用情态动词can表示一般的能力。
8.because　解析:考查原因状语从句。这些大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子,但是因为它们认为不能,所以它们就待在原处。
9.hanging　解析:考查非谓语动词。此处应用现在分词做伴随状语。
10.simply　解析:考查副词。仅仅是因为我们曾经失败过吗?此处应用副词做状语。
