Question

【題目】Scientists will put some robot fish into the sea near Spain this year. These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water. If the robot fish are able to finish their work successfully, the scientists hope the fish will be used in rivers, lakes and seas around the world.

The robot fish are about 1.5 metres long. There will be a detector (探測器) in each fish’s

body. It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.

Unlike other robots, the robot fish don’t need to be operated (操作) by people far away. The robots all have a big battery (電池) that can last for about eight hours. They can “swim” in the sea freely and send back information to people on the beach. After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.

There are five robot fish altogether. Each costs about 29,000 dollars. They are part of a three-year project by the joint effort of the engineering company BMT Group and University of Essex in England.

【1】The robot fish will help people find out in the water.

A. more fish B. the treasure C. some batteries D. the pollution

【2】What will the robot fish do if they find the pollution in the water?

A. They will eat part of it. B. They will stop working.

C. They will tell people where it is. D. They will take it to the beach.

【3】How long can the robot fish work before they have to go back to the beach?

A. They can work for five hours. B. They can work for eight hours.

C. They can work for twelve hours. D. They can work for one day.

【4】The five robot fish cost about dollars altogether.

A. 14,500 B. 29,000 C. 145,000 D. 1,450,000

【5】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. The robot fish can eat anything in the water.

B. The robot fish need to be operated by people.

C. The robot fish are 1.5 metres long and they look like sharks.

D. The robot fish can go back to the beach when the batteries run down.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】B

【4】C

【5】D

【解析】這篇短文主要講述了今年科學(xué)家將投放一些機(jī)器魚到西班牙附近的海域，以幫助探測水中的污染情況。文章還介紹了這種機(jī)器魚的體型構(gòu)造以及性能和制造費用。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water.”的描述可知，這種機(jī)器魚可以幫助發(fā)現(xiàn)水體的污染情況，故答案選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子“It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.”的描述可知，如果機(jī)器魚發(fā)現(xiàn)了水體的污染物，它會吃掉一部分。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“The robots all have an eight-hour battery”的描述可知，機(jī)器魚體內(nèi)的電池每次可以工作8小時。故答案選B。

【4】數(shù)字計算題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“There are five robot fish altogether (總共). Each costs (花費) about 29,000 dollars.”的描述可知，5個機(jī)器魚總共需要花費145000美元。故選C。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。聯(lián)系文中句子“After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.”的描述可知，電池耗盡后，機(jī)器魚就自己去海灘。選項A、B、C的敘述不符合原文內(nèi)容，故選D。
