Question

【题目】 People began to make robots about several（几个）hundred years ago. In the past, some of the early ones looked like animals or humans. However, they could not talk and were pretty dumb. They worked like clocks and did the same things over and over again.

Now modern robots do not always look like people. Some are like big machines; others are nothing but long arms with boxy（箱子般地）bodies. However, modern robots are smart. Some can work out（解决） problems on their own. Their brains（大脑）are computers and their eyes are sensors（传感器）. Motors（发动机）help them move.

In the future, robots will learn from their mistakes more than they do now. They will be smarter. It is possible that we will have robot judges（评判员，法官）, robot house workers, and robot factory workers. Robots will help people to do more things.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【4】B

【5】A

【解析】

文章主要介绍了机器人已经有数百年的历史了。早期的机器人看起来像动物或人，然而，他们只能像时钟一样的一遍又一遍的做重复的事情。而现在的机器人可以自己解决问题，他们的大脑是计算机，眼睛是传感器，在未来，机器人会更加聪明。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中People began to make robots about several（几个）hundred years ago. 几百年前，人们开始制造机器人。可知已经有数百年的历史了，故选C。

【2】词义猜测题。根据文中They worked like clocks and did the same things over and over again. 他们像钟表一样工作，一遍又一遍地做同样的事情。可知，说明机器人是很笨的，所以dumb指的是“笨的”，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据文中They worked like clocks and did the same things over and over again. 他们像钟表一样工作，一遍又一遍地做同样的事情。可知他们像钟表一样的工作，故选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据文中Motors（发动机）help them move. 发动机帮助他们移动。可知A选项正确；根据文中Their brains（大脑）are computers. 他们的大脑是电脑。可知他们的大脑是计算机而不是传感器，所以B选项错误；根据文中Now modern robots do not always look like people. Some are like big machines现在，现代机器人并不总是看起来像人。有些像大型机器。可知一些机器人像大型机器，所以C选项正确；根据文中Some can work out（解决） problems on their own. 有些机器人可以自己解决问题。可知D选项正确；故选B。

【5】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段In the future, robots will learn from their mistakes more than they do now. They will be smarter. It is possible that we will have robot judges（评判员，法官）, robot house workers, and robot factory workers. Robots will help people to do more things. 未来，机器人将比现在更多地从错误中吸取教训。他们会更聪明。我们有可能会有机器人裁判、机器人房屋工人和机器人工厂工人。机器人将帮助人们做更多的事情。可知，机器人并不会有像人类一样的大脑，故选A。
