Question

【題目】French doctors and American scientists have reported doing an operation in which the doctor was outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder（膽囊）away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tools quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make much smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make possible safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where doctors work.

【1】“Robotic operation” means “____”.

A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors

B. an operation done far away

C. an operation done with the help of a robot

D. something done to mend a robot

【2】 We use the robot in the operation because _____.

A. it can send messages at a high speed

B. even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself

C. it can make the operation safer and better

D. operations can be done without any doctors

【3】If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of _____.

A. top doctors B. smaller movements

C. doctor training D. high-speed telecommunications

【4】If the smaller movement can’t be done by doctors in the operation, we may use _______ to solve it.

A. more tools B. a robot machine

C. a video camera D. telecommunications

【5】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Robotic operation is good for doctor training.

B. Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

C. Experts speak highly of robotic operation.

D. The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.
