Question

10．A new robot companion is currently being presented across Europe．It could suit customers'various tastes and needs and could find its way into people's homes within two or three years，potentially greatly enhancing quality of life for older citizens and people with memory or mobility problems．
The robot，a mobile wheeled semi-humanoid figure equipped with cameras，sensors，audio and a touch screen interface，can remind users to take their medicine，suggest they have their favourite drink or encourage them to go for a walk or visit friends if they haven't been out for a while．As part of a larger smart-home environment that can include smart clothing to monitor vital signs，the system can monitor user's health and safety，and contact emergency services if something is wrong．
"Across Europe，populations are growing older，and many people need care in some way．Care may be provided by professionals at home or in a care facility，but often the caregiver is the person's partner or another family member．What we are seeing is that carers may also need additional support themselves，especially if they are also older--our view is that technology can provide it，"explains Mr Herjan of Smart Homes，the Dutch Expertise Centre on Home Automation and Smart Living，which oversaw the robot's development．
By monitoring user's behavior，the robot can learn to approach users at appropriate times，talk to them or provide information via a touchscreen interface．Users can respond by talking back or using the touchscreen．"The way the robot behaves，such as what it says and how it says it，can be changed to suit each person，"Mr Herjan says．
The prototype（樣板）robot companion currently cost around EUR 10，000 to build，but that price should fall as technology advances or if they are produced in large numbers．Mr．Herjan thinks a robot companion will cost around EUR 5000 within a couple of years．
21．The robot companion in the passage can help all people，EXCEPTB．
A．old people                      
B．blind people
C．people with memory problems      
D．people who can't move easily
22．What can the robot companion do？D

B．Call and visit users'friends．
C．Serve users their favorite drink．
D．Encourage users to go for a walk．
23．What does Mr．Herjan mainly want to convey in the third paragraph？D
A．Caregivers should be professional．
B．Caregivers themselves also need care．
C．There are more and more old people in Europe．
D．The technology of robots can provide help like a caregiver．
24．How can the robot companion learn to approach users at appropriate times？C
A．By using a to uch screen．
B．By directly talking to users．
C．By watching users'behavior．
D．By listening to users'orders．
25．According to the last paragraph，we know thatB．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了現(xiàn)階段風(fēng)靡歐洲的一種起到護(hù)工作用的機器人．他們能夠通過各種有效的方式來為人類提供服務(wù)．

解答 21．B 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，It could suit customers'various tastes and needs and could find its way into people's homes within two or three years，potentially greatly enhancing quality of life for older citizens and people with memory or mobility problems．它可以滿足顧客的各種需要，尤其對于老人、有記憶障礙以及行動不便的人有很大的幫助，故選B
22．D 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容The robot，a mobile wheeled semi-humanoid figure equipped with cameras，sensors，audio and a touch screen interface，…encourage them to go for a walk or visit friends if they haven't been out for a while這種機器人安裝的有各種先進(jìn)的電子設(shè)備，讓人們使用，另外還可以鼓勵人們外出散步或者拜訪朋友，如果他們有那么一段時間沒有外出的話，結(jié)合選項，故選D
23．D 推理題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，What we are seeing is that carers may also need additional support themselves，especially if they are also older--our view is that technology can provide it，"在整個歐洲，老人越來越多，需要得到照顧．而我們需要知道的事，護(hù)理者還需要具備照顧他們自己的能力，尤其他們也變得老了的時候．我們的觀點就是-機器人可以替代我們做到，結(jié)合選項，故選D
24．C 細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，By monitoring user's behavior，the robot can learn to approach users at appropriate times，talk to them or provide information via a touchscreen interface通過監(jiān)測使用者的行為，機器人能過知道該在合適的時間去和他們接觸，和他們聊天或者提供一些他們需要的信息，結(jié)合選項，故選C
25．B 推理題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，The prototype（樣板）robot companion currently cost around EUR 10，000 to build，but that price should fall as technology advances or if they are produced in large numbers現(xiàn)階段，一個機器人樣板的費用相對比較高，要花費10000歐元．但是隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)展，其價格會有所下跌，結(jié)合選項，故選B

點評 本文是一個科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
