Traditinally,rbts have been hard,made f metal and ther rigid material.But a team f scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed t build an entirely sft rbt—ne that draws inspiratin frm an ctpus (章鱼).
Described in science jurnal Nature,the “Octbt” culd pave the way fr mre effective autnmus rbts that culd be used in search,rescue and explratin.“The Octbt is a minimal system which may serve as a fundatin fr a new generatin f cmpletely sft,autnmus rbts,” the study’s authrs wrte.
Rbts built fr precise,repetitive mvements in a cntrlled envirnment dn’t d s well n rugh terrains (地形) r in unpredictable cnditins.And they aren’t especially safe arund humans,because they’re made ut f hard and heavy parts that culd be ptentially dangerus t their users.
S researchers have been wrking n building sft rbts fr decades.They’re taken inspiratin frm nature,lking t animals frm jellyfish t cckraches,which are ften made up f mre flexible matter.
But creating a cmpletely sft rbt remains a challenge.Even if engineers build a silicne (硅酮) bdy,it’s still a grand challenge t cnstruct flexible versins f essential parts,such as a surce f pwer.
“Althugh sft rbtics is still in its early stage,it hlds great prmise fr several applicatins,such as search-rescue peratins and explratin,” Barbara Mazzlai and Virgili Mattli f the Italian Institute f Technlgy’ Center fr Micr-BiRbtics,wrte in a cmment.“Sft rbts might als pen up new appraches t imprving wellness and quality f life.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普类说明文,文章主要介绍了章鱼机器人的优点和投入应用的可能性。
32.What’s the special feature f “Octbt”?
A.It’s sft.
B.It’s made f metal.
C.It’s very small.
D.It lks like an ctpus.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ have been hard,made f metal”以及段尾“ managed t build an entirely sft rbt—ne that draws inspiratin frm an ctpus”的对比发现可知,Octbt机器人特点是它很柔软。
33.What’s the disadvantage f traditinal rbts?
A.They’re hard t cntrl.
B.They’re t heavy t mve.
C.They can’t predict cnditins.
D.They can’t behave well all the time.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Rbts built fr precise,repetitive mvements in a cntrlled envirnment dn’t d s well n rugh terrains r in unpredictable cnditins.”以及本段内容可知,传统机器人无法在崎岖的地形上很好地运行,此外,由于沉重的金属部件,传统机器人可能会对人体产生伤害,据此可推断出,传统机器人的缺点是他们不能一直表现得很好。
34.One f the biggest challenges is t build Octbt’s .
A.silicne bdy
B.cmplex cmpnents
C.precise mvements
D.flexible pwer surce
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Even if engineers build a silicne bdy,it’s still a grand challenge t cnstruct flexible versins f essential parts,such as a surce f pwer.”可知,即使工程师利用硅酮制造出了软体机器人的身体,但是制作柔韧性强的关键部件仍然面临巨大的挑战,比如动力来源。据此可知,最大的挑战之一是柔韧性强的动力来源。
35.What’s the pssible applicatin f “Octbt”?
A.Medical research.
B.Life rescue.
C.Machine peratin.
D.Huse cleaning.
答案B
解析细节理解题。从文章最后一段“Althugh sft rbtics is still in its early stage,it hlds great prmise fr several applicatins,such as search-rescue peratins and explratin,”可知,尽管对软体机器人的开发和研究还处于早期阶段,但它适用于诸如搜索救援和探索等任务,故选B项。

C.partyD.visit
答案D
解析根据本句中的“when I drve back fr anther shrt...”可知,作者和母亲不住在一起,所以这次是作者回家探望(visit)母亲。
B.idea
C.sceneD.celebratin
答案C
解析根据下文的描述及第一段内容可以看出,作者这次到了母亲家看到了与生日那天同样的情景(scene)。
B.chice
C.attractinD.difference
答案D
解析根据该段与第一段中对作者看到的场景的描述可看出,母亲两次准备的生日礼物几乎相同,唯一不同的是丝带的颜色。
B.truble
C.trickD.end
答案C
解析根据作者在第五段提到的记忆力衰退问题及该空后的“This was real life”可知,此时作者意识到是母亲的记忆力出现了问题,而并非母亲搞的恶作剧(trick)。
B.shcked
C.puzzledD.upset
答案A
解析虽然当天并不是作者生日,但作者知道记忆力出现问题的母亲也是一片好心,为使自己开心(happy)才准备了这么多礼物。
B.successful
C.frgetfulD.grateful
答案D
解析根据上下文可看出,作者当时尽力平复心情,努力扮演好一个对母亲感恩(grateful)的女儿的角色,该空与后文的 hugged,thanked 相呼应。
B.washed
C.declinedD.wrapper
答案A
解析根据上文作者说母亲在生日那天送的衣服正是她想要的,可看出作者非常喜欢该礼物。
B.annying
C.nlyD.same
答案D
解析根据上文母亲的症状可看出母亲容易忘事,做过的事或说过的话很快就会忘记,所以此处应该是作者一天要陪着母亲一遍遍地重复同样的(same)对话。
B.Instead
C.HweverD.Mrever
答案C
解析根据上下文可看出前后两句是转折关系,尽管因母亲记忆力衰退的问题,作者一天要陪着母亲一遍遍地重复同样的对话 ,作者不但没有不耐烦,反而把此事当作“pleasure”,因为每一次对话、每一刻对于母亲来说都是新的。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人割草机的优点。
56.designed 考查非谓语动词。设空处作后置定语修饰rbt lawn mwers,design与rbt lawn mwers之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且design所表示的动作已发生,故填designed。
57.being 考查非谓语动词。此处是with复合结构作状语,因glbal warming与be之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且be所表示的状态与谓语动词所表示的状态同时存在,故填being。
58.quietly 考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词wrk,故填副词quietly。
59.was fund 考查语态。由After careful assessment可知,此处用一般过去时,又因nise与find之间是被动关系,故填was fund。
60.t return 考查非谓语动词。warn sb/sth t d sth意为“提醒某人/某物做某事”。
61.the 考查冠词。n the ther hand 意为“另一方面”。
62.r/therwise 考查连词。设空处连接两个分句,表示“否则,要不然”,故填r/therwise。
63.that/which 考查定语从句。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词items,且在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
64.beneficial 考查形容词。设空处作表语,意为“有益的,有帮助的”,故填beneficial。
65.in 考查介词。in cmfrt意为“舒适地”。
