19．IMAGINE that your parents have bought you the most advanced robot．He looks like a real person．He talks to you and plays with you．He can even think for himself and figure out what you need．
It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time．But come to think of it，can you really trust him？
Ever since the first robot was created decades ago，scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans．However，as they have gotten closer to that goal，doubts have grown．According to the BBC，Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become，the more humans feel a connection to them．But once they become too similar to humans，people begin to feel uncomfortable．
This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month．Roboy，as the new machine is called，has various human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding，but instead of a skin-like covering，Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor （盔甲） that clearly shows its robot status．
"As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine，even if they project their feelings into it，then they feel comfortable，"Rolf Pfeifer，the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich，Switzerland，told the BBC．
But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look．It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives．
A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are"necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people"，such as space exploration and war fighting．But when it comes to taking care of children，60percent said that robots should not be allowed to participate，because as robots become more advanced and complicated，parents may tend to hand over too much responsibility to them．
No matter what，robots will soon enter our homes，Pfeifer said．What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or companions who live with us．
61．What is the purpose of the text？B
A．To introduce the newly-invented robot，Roboy．
B．To discuss problems related to designing robots．
C．To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives．
D．To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more．
62．Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot？C
A．To better protect it．B．To make it look cool and modern．
C．To make it clearly different from a human．D．To keep its price down．
63．According to the paragraph before the last one，most of the people interviewedB．
A．welcome robots into their homes
B．believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasks
C．think families with children shouldn't use robots for housework
D．a(chǎn)re afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take care of them
64．Which best describes the author's tone in the article？A
A．Objective．B．Critical．C．Admiring．D．Anxious．
65．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？B
A．The brand new robot in Switzerland can do everything human beings can．
B．Scientists have long been dreaming of creating human-like robots．
C．Robots in the future will serve as human beings'good friends．
D．People won't be comfortable with robots like a machine in the house．

分析 本文為新聞報(bào)道，介紹了機(jī)器人設(shè)計(jì)方面的問題，提出疑問--機(jī)器人應(yīng)不應(yīng)該設(shè)計(jì)了像人一樣？

解答 61-65 BCBAB
61．答案B．主旨大意題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look．It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives可知，人們對(duì)機(jī)器人的質(zhì)疑包括機(jī)器人外表的設(shè)計(jì)和行為方式．故推測(cè)，本文要討論的是機(jī)器人的設(shè)計(jì)問題．故選B．
62．答案C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第五段As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine，even if they project their feelings into it，then they feel comfortable，"Rolf Pfeifer，the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich，Switzerland，told the BBC可知，Roboy看起來更像機(jī)器，而不像人，是為了把Roboy與人區(qū)分開來．故選C．
63．答案B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are"necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people"可知，大多數(shù)參與調(diào)查的人都認(rèn)為機(jī)器人可以代替人做很多危險(xiǎn)的工作．故選B．
64．答案A．觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題．本文為新聞報(bào)道類文章，文中很少用到主觀的第一人稱，多數(shù)以第三人稱為主．故作者的語氣是客觀的．選A．
65．答案B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段Ever since the first robot was created decades ago，scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans可知，許多年來，科學(xué)家都?jí)粝胫圃斐鲱愃迫祟惖臋C(jī)器人．故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 報(bào)道類文章一般由標(biāo)題（Head line），導(dǎo)語（Introduction），背景（Back ground），主體（Main body）和結(jié)尾（End）五部分構(gòu)成．標(biāo)題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看，這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標(biāo)題，而要同學(xué)們選擇標(biāo)題．導(dǎo)語一般位于整篇文章的首段．背景交待一個(gè)事實(shí)的起因．主體則對(duì)導(dǎo)語概括的事實(shí)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)敘述，這一部分命題往往最多，因此，閱讀時(shí)，同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點(diǎn)．結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并與導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng)，命題者常在此要設(shè)計(jì)一道推理判斷題．在進(jìn)行推理判斷時(shí)，同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實(shí)為依據(jù)，同時(shí)所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識(shí)．

9．[1]I was walking in the park with a friend recently，and his cell phone rang，interrupting our conversation．There we were，walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day．But I became in visible，absent from the conversation．

[5]So I've put myself on technology restriction：no instant messaging with people who live near me，no cell-phoning in the presence of friends，no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm home．

The cell phone gets in the way of face?to?face communication
77．Which sentences in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one？
However，I felt left out as if we were not conducting the conversation．
But I became invisible，absent from the conversation．
78．Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 3with proper words．（within 10words）
the more disconnected I feel/the lonelier we feel/the farther away we seem to be/the more left out we feel
79．Does the author restrict his own activity to improving the situation？（within 15words）
Yes．For example，he doesn't contact people living near him with instant messaging．/
