    What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you，prepared by your very own kitchen robot? It might sound like science fiction，but professors at the university of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making that scenario a reality．The team recently introduced a humanoid kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests．When teatime is over，the robot can also wash the dishes and put them away．

    In California，another interesting kitchen robot has been developed．Called the Ready-bot，it can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets or put them in the trash．It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself．Unlike the Japanese robot，Readybot is not humanoid．Instead，it looks more like a large box with arms and wheels．[来源:Z|xx|k.Com]

    Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge．They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks．Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can tackle jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well．

    Clearly there are technological hurdles to overcome before robots can cook a complete dinner，and there are also many safety concerns．Not everyone（especially parents）would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house，manipulating hot pans and sharp knives．The European Commission recently funded a project to study these concerns．

    A．It performs fewer functions than readybot can．

    B．it looks more like a person than Readybot does．

    C．It speaks more languages than Readybot does．

    　　It may not have a funny bone．But that hasn't stopped one robot from developing a sense of humor．Scientists have created the first software program that can tell the difference between ordinary conversation and surprising puns(双关语)．

    　　Previous attempts to get machines to understand jokes have largely failed because humor is so subjective and complex, making it difficult to program．But psychologists have argued that intelligent computers and robots acting as human helpers will need to understand complex puns in order to communicate and appear friendlier．

    　　The“joke bot”, as it has been named, recognizes simple jokes by working out how the words in a sentence are related to one another．If it decides a word does not fit in with its surroundings, the computer searches a pronunciation guide for the same or similar sounding terms．If any of those fit, it decides the passage is a joke．

    　　In one test, it was shown the following passage：“Mother：‘Mike, you've been working in the garden a lot this summer．’Son：‘I have to because my teacher told me to weed a lot．’”The software realizes that“weed”makes sense in the context of“working in the garden”but has no place in the same sentence as the words“teacher told me”．Since“weed”sounds similar to“read”, it can find this wordplay．

    　　Julia Taylor, researcher of the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, who designed the program with her colleague Lawrence Mazlack, told New Scientist that the team were now trying to make the machine understand more complex versions of humour, including sarcasm(讽刺)and irony．

    　　“If you've been in a car accident, you probably won't find a joke about a car accident funny,”she added．

    (1)

    What is the difficulty in making machines understand jokes?

    [　　]

    A．

    Machines don't have a funny bone．

    B．

    Jokes are too difficult to understand for people．

    C．

    Humor is the kind of mental product．

    D．

    Human technology is not advanced at all．

    (2)

    What can the“joke bot”do?

    [　　]

    A．

    It can find a joke in a car accident．

    B．

    It can judge whether a passage is a joke．

    C．

    It can tell a joke to humans．

    D．

    It can design a difficult joke program．

    (3)

    Why did the software decide the dialogue between mother and son as a joke?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because there are the same sounding terms“a lot”．

    B．

    Because it found the words were related to each other．

    C．

    Because it recognized a word didn't fit in with its surroundings．

    D．

    Because it was a dialogue between mother and son．

    (4)

    The subject discussed in the passage is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the robot that appears friendly to humans

    B．

    the robot that helps human communicate

    C．

    the robot that is intelligent

    D．

    the robot that can understand pun
