For example, in some automatic washing machines, the water will pour in up to a certain level or temperature. The machine will wait for “feedba ck” about the water 2 or temperature before it begins the washing cycle. In this way, a washing machine has been patterned after humans. We depend on 3 from our five senses to find out what is happening around us and then make decisions about our actions.Of course, some machines perform functions like humans, but much 4 than we do, such as calculators. A pocket calculator works faster than a human, never makes mistakes, and doesn’t get 5 or bored.Other robots are very similar to humans in their ability 6 new things. In factories, robots can learn to do many different tasks, as they are shown by a human operator. For example, in a car factory, a person will guide a robot’s “arm” and “7 ” through the steps of the new job. The robot’s electronic “brain” will 8 the information away, memorizing the steps so the next time it can repeat the 9 movements without a human operator. When the robot must be moved to a new job, its memory is 10 so it is ready to learn the next job. Of course, at any time if there is anything 11 in the process, different from the original task, the robot cannot 12 with it. It will signal for an engineer to come for repairs.Some robots are considered very intelligent because they have more human abilities than others, such as “seeing”13 cameras f or eyes or “feeling” with metal fingers that can14 shapes and even temperatures. However, no machine has 15 been able to copy the complexity of the simplest, most common person.1. A. similar B. familiar C. sensitive D. different2. A. depth B. level C. fullness D. warning3. A. feelings B. touch C. feedback D. response4. A. faster B. more slowly C. worse D. better5. A. tiring B. exciting C. excited D. tired6. A. of learning B. to learn C. to copy D. to memorize7. A. hand B. body C. elbow D. brain8. A. take B. put C. store D. give9. A. correct B. similar C. same D. different10. A. erased B. refreshed C. kept D. stored11.

Howie Choset, 37 years old, is a professor at Carnegie Mellow University, where he has been years in developing robots that imitate snake-like movements. Why? He sees a future for these snake-like robots in the work of saving lives.These robots are built from very light materials and can carry cameras and other electronic sensors. Small electric motors, such as those used in model airplanes, help them move smoothly. Their size is similar to or smaller than a human arm.Choset’s hope is for these robots to be used in search and rescue operations after natural disasters or other emergencies. They must be controlled by a human operator using a joystick, like with a video game. The robots have the ability to know which direction is upwards, but much of their usefulness would depend on humans controlling them. Even then, these robots would be better than the current methods and equipment, most of which are just cameras on long poles.Sam Stover is the manager of a search team with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He is of the opinion that robots like these have been needed for a long time. Dogs are used effectively in search and rescue, but they are limited to places that humans can go. These robots would allow search teams to d o something they’ve not been able to do before. “We needed them yesterday,” said Stover.1. What gave Howie Choset the idea to design the robot?A. Snakes’ senses.B. Snakes’ eyes.C. Snakes’ appearance.D. Snakes’ movements.2. The sentence “We needed them yesterday” might mean“_______”.A. We only needed them yesterdayB. We do not need them nowC. We really need them nowD. We have needed them for a long time3. Where can you most possibly find this passage?A. In a novel book.B. In a guide book for tourists.C. In a fashion magazine.D. In a science book.4. What can be inferred from the passage about the robots?A. Snakes do not seem unpleasant or even threatening.B. Snake-like robots can climb pipes.C. Snake-like robots can work independently.D. Snake-like robots can move in a very smooth, flexible way.5. Which one is true according to the passage?A. A snake-like robot has been developed.B. The snake-like robot can do something that no other robots can do.C. The snake-like robot can move injured people out of disaster areas.D. The snake-like robot is a cool toy.(B)Many people think that robots can never replace human beings because people are too clever. There are two arguments to support this point of view: first, robots can never reproduce; and second, human thinking can never be reproduced. Let’s examine the evidence for each of these arguments.First, robots can never reproduce baby robots. It is true that robots can never reproduce as animals do. Robots are not divided into male and female. So a robot could not reproduce using normal biological methods. In robot production, there is no baby stage.Second, human thinking cannot be reproduced by a robot. Thinking needs language and robots do not have language. They only have the programming that human beings put into them. So they can only do what they have been programmed to do. This is not thinking. Robots cannot produce their own ideas or make intuitive(直觉的)connections. So robots will never be able to think better than human beings.However, some people think that, in time, robots will be able to reproduce and think just as well or better than human beings. They have two arguments: in time robots will be able to reproduce in a certain way; some computers can alreadythink better than people. So let’s look at the evidence for these opposing viewpoints.First, they claim that robots will be able to reproduce. A special kind of robot has already been able to take a pile of blocks and assemble them to reproduce itself. Of course this does not mean that robots can reproduce using normal biological methods, but it does mean that robots could make new copies of themselves. So this would be a sort of reproduction.Second, they state that some computers can already think better than some people. For very logical tasks or games, computers are already better than human beings. First, it is well-known that the computer “Deep Blue” won a chess competition against the human world chess champion Gary Kasparov in 1997. Second, computers think logically and can draw conclusions without emotion. But to be more clever than people, computers need to become more intuitive(sensitive to emotion)and develop feelings. Some computers already show feelings by their stomachs turning glowing red when they are angry or upset. But robots will need more than this. Perhaps in the future robots may be produced that show envy or satisfaction. That may make it possible for robots to think for themselves and may lead to robot marriage(and divorce)and families.So what do you think?6. When we say robots cannot reproduce, we mean that ________.A. robots do not look like males or femalesB. robots cannot act like mothersC. robots cannot reproduce themselves through biological waysD. robots do not have feelings as human beings7. Which of the following points does not support the argument that robots have the ability to think?A. Robots can think because human beings teach them how to think.B. Some people think language is the decisive factor of thinking.C. Robots are better than human beings in some logical tasks because robots’ IQs are higher than those of human beings.D. Human beings will never match robots in chess competitions.8. According to some people, if robots want to be more clever than human beings, they need ________.A. to practise thinking logicallyB. to have language abilityC. to have more competitions with human beingsD. to develop feelings such as anger9. Which of the following does the writer predict will happen in the future?A. The marriage of robots will definitely not be happy.B. All robots will have families and kids.C. Robots and human beings will form families.D. If robots are not content with their partners, they can ask for a divorce.10. What is the writer’s attitude, as expressed in the passage?A. He objectively presents both sides of the arguments.B. He gives his own judgments on the arguments.C. He casts some doubt on the arguments.D. He is indifferent to the arguments.Ⅶ. 书面表达Use your imagination to describe a robot in the future. Use the first person to write your description, ie write as if you were the robot. Give it a name and describe its appearance and family. Then tell what the robot can do and what it likes to do. Your passage should be 80-100 words long.___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________参考答案Ⅱ. 单项选择，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳答案完成句子1.
