Question

9．Working outside the International Space Station （ISS），an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris（碎片）that damages his spacesuit．Alarmed，he realizes he's just seconds from disaster．Moving fast，his prepared robot partner slaps（拍打）an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit．Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS．Inside，the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker's life controls everything the robot avatar has done-including rescuing its human partner-while it works outside the space station．
R2：The Real Deal
A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers，whether they're as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base．Space-travelling avatars，controlled remotely by humans are still a concept．But earlier in the year 2011，NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time．It's called R2，short for Robonaut 2．The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested．
NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts．"Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans，"says NASA's Matt Ondler．R2 is controlled by humans using laptops． It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks，such as"find an object．"In most situations，humans are still far better with their hands than robots．But that's not necessarily true in space，where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves．And since they don't need to eat，breathe，or go to the bathroom，robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs．
R2 isn't ready for spacewalks yet，but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible．"Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D's：jobs that are dirty，dull，and dangerous，"says Ondler．
To The Moon
Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon．Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human．A robot is stronger，can survive in tighter spaces，and doesn't need air．Even better，robots don't care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth．
Once on the moon，the robonaut could perform experiments，send live video back to Earth，talk to classrooms full of kids，and explore the lunar surface．R2 will be able to move using legs，or by attaching its torso（躯干）to a four-wheeled rover（探测器） and becoming part of vehicle．And when R2's battery is low，it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice．All in all，a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!
The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself．But for difficult tasks，a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game．NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions．So the next time your mom complains that you're spending too much time on video games，just tell her you're training for a job with NASA．

51．In paragraph1，the writer gives a detailed description of a space accident toD．
    A．stress the danger of an astronaut's walk in space
    B．tell readers the unforgettable experience of an astronaut
    C．show his concern for the present situation of space walk
    D．introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts
52．Why does the writer say Robonaut 2 is"The Real Deal"？A
    A．It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs．
    B．It has been programmed to help astronauts with three D's．
    C．It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings．
    D．It proves to be a good companion for space travelers．
53．By saying"All in all，a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!"，the writer means thatB．
    A．an ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings
    B．an ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth
    C．a future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled rover
    D．a future robot is stronger and will handle any difficulty in space easily
54．It can be learned from the passage thatC．
    A．the future R2 will perform experiments without human control
    B．humans are much smarter with their hands than robots in space
    C．someday humans might control an avatar on the moon
    D．sending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robot．

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述了机器人在太空的作用．在第一段中描述了宇航员在太空舱外执行任务时，被太空碎片击破了太空服，在这紧急时刻，他的机器人助理帮助他补助了这个破洞，从而挽救了他的生命．而后面的几段为我们描述里R2在太空的作用，它们能够完成以下小任务，不需要吃饭呼吸洗澡，可以长期进行工作；R2可以可以用腿移动，它的躯干可以连着探测器，成为它的一部分，当它的电量低的时候，可以在太阳能充电站里充电．对于复杂任务，人类的操控者控制机器人就像控制游戏里自己的化身一样，可以很顺利的完成．

解答 51．D．推理判断题．在第一段中描述了宇航员在太空舱外执行任务时，被太空碎片击破了太空服，在这紧急时刻，他的机器人助理帮助他补助了这个破洞，从而挽救了他的生命，因此读者就知道机器人在太空的作用，所以答案是D introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts介绍了机器人可能为宇航员做的事．
52．A．推理判断题．根据第三段的 It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks和since they don't need to eat，breathe，or go to the bathroom，robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs．可知机器人能够完成以下小任务，它们不需要吃饭呼吸洗澡，可以长期进行工作；根据第五段中Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human 可知送机器人到月球上比人类便宜的多；根据第六段的Once on the moon，the robonaut could perform experiments，send live video back to Earth，talk to classrooms full of kids，and explore the lunar surface可知机器人在月球上可以完成各种复杂的任务．因此我们可以推断出正确答案是 A．It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs译为"对于简单任务和复杂任务机器人有成本低的优势"．
53．B．句义猜测题．根据划线句子的上几句R2 will be able to move using legs，or by attaching its torso（躯干）to a four-wheeled rover（探测器） and becoming part of vehicle．And when R2's battery is low，it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice．可知R2可以可以用腿移动，它的躯干可以连着探测器，成为它的一部分，当它的电量低的时候，可以在太阳能充电站里充电，因此可以看出它的生活很便利，就像人类在地球的生活一样，所以答案是 B．an ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth译为"一个普通的机器人在太空的生活和地球上人类的生活一样舒适"．
54．C．细节题．根据末段But for difficult tasks，a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game．可知人类的操控者控制机器人就像控制游戏里自己的化身一样，因此答案是 C．someday humans might control an avatar on the moon译为"人类能够控制月球上的机器人就像控制自己的替身"
