19.IMAGINE that your parents have bought you the most advanced robot.He looks like a real person.He talks to you and plays with you.He can even think for himself and figure out what you need.
It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time.But come to think of it,can you really trust him?
Ever since the first robot was created decades ago,scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans.However,as they have gotten closer to that goal,doubts have grown.According to the BBC,Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become,the more humans feel a connection to them.But once they become too similar to humans,people begin to feel uncomfortable.
This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month.Roboy,as the new machine is called,has various human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding,but instead of a skin-like covering,Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor (盔甲) that clearly shows its robot status.
"As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine,even if they project their feelings into it,then they feel comfortable,"Rolf Pfeifer,the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich,Switzerland,told the BBC.
But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look.It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives.
A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are"necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people",such as space exploration and war fighting.But when it comes to taking care of children,60percent said that robots should not be allowed to participate,because as robots become more advanced and complicated,parents may tend to hand over too much responsibility to them.
No matter what,robots will soon enter our homes,Pfeifer said.What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or companions who live with us.
61.What is the purpose of the text?B
A.To introduce the newly-invented robot,Roboy.
B.To discuss problems related to designing robots.
C.To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives.
D.To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more.
62.Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot?C
A.To better protect it.B.To make it look cool and modern.
C.To make it clearly different from a human.D.To keep its price down.
63.According to the paragraph before the last one,most of the people interviewedB.
A.welcome robots into their homes
B.believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasks
C.think families with children shouldn't use robots for housework
D.are afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take care of them
64.Which best describes the author's tone in the article?A
A.Objective.B.Critical.C.Admiring.D.Anxious.
65.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?B
A.The brand new robot in Switzerland can do everything human beings can.
B.Scientists have long been dreaming of creating human-like robots.
C.Robots in the future will serve as human beings'good friends.
D.People won't be comfortable with robots like a machine in the house.

分析 本文为新闻报道,介绍了机器人设计方面的问题,提出疑问--机器人应不应该设计了像人一样?

解答 61-65 BCBAB
61.答案B.主旨大意题.根据倒数第三段But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look.It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives可知,人们对机器人的质疑包括机器人外表的设计和行为方式.故推测,本文要讨论的是机器人的设计问题.故选B.
62.答案C.推理判断题.根据第五段As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine,even if they project their feelings into it,then they feel comfortable,"Rolf Pfeifer,the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich,Switzerland,told the BBC可知,Roboy看起来更像机器,而不像人,是为了把Roboy与人区分开来.故选C.
63.答案B.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are"necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people"可知,大多数参与调查的人都认为机器人可以代替人做很多危险的工作.故选B.
64.答案A.观点态度题.本文为新闻报道类文章,文中很少用到主观的第一人称,多数以第三人称为主.故作者的语气是客观的.选A.
65.答案B.细节理解题.根据第三段Ever since the first robot was created decades ago,scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans可知,许多年来,科学家都梦想着制造出类似人类的机器人.故选B.

点评 报道类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成.标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题.导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点.结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题.在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识.
