Question

【題目】【改編】Robots industry is developing so rapidly that there is no denying that we may one day find ourselves surrounded by robots.

The humanoid (human like) robots with two legs such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.

But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.

“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”

While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs.

Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu Laboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡邏) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共場(chǎng)所), are working on this.

Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its stomach to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.

In guide mode, it will check a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”

Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (圖標(biāo)) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.

The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.

Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.

“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.

試題分析: 機(jī)器人產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展的如此迅速，不可否認(rèn)我們有一天會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己會(huì)身處于機(jī)器人的包圍之中。機(jī)器人雖然很聰明，但是他們終究是人類制造的，是為人類來服務(wù)的。在本文中作者介紹了一種被廣泛應(yīng)用在商場(chǎng)、醫(yī)院等公眾場(chǎng)所、叫“Enon”的機(jī)器人。

【1】D推理判斷題。文章首段提出Robots industry is developing so rapidly that there is no denying that we may one day find ourselves surrounded by robots.然后在下文詳細(xì)介紹了幾種機(jī)器人，由此判斷選D。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,”可知他認(rèn)為機(jī)器人很愚笨，故選C。

【3】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there. 可知Enon只是能指給游客方向，故選C。

【4】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs. 可以判斷安全是人們關(guān)注的一個(gè)問題，故選A。

【5】B主旨大意題。文章首先介紹了機(jī)器人的迅速發(fā)展，然后介紹了幾種用來幫助人們的機(jī)器人，由此判斷文章主要介紹機(jī)器人的發(fā)展和使用，故選B。
