Question

【題目】 Chinese researchers have developed a robot to help doctors treat(治療) COVID-19(新冠肺炎) and other highly contagious(傳染的) diseases.

The machine can do some of the same medical examination tasks as doctors. Cameras record the robot's activities, which are controlled far away so doctors can avoid coming in close contact(接觸) with infected(感染) patients.

The robot's main designer is Zheng Gangtie, an engineer and professor at Tsinghua University. He said that he got the idea for the robot in January. At that time, the number of cases of the COVID-19 virus was rising quickly in Wuhan Zheng said a friend of his is the head of a hospital in Beijing. His friend told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that healthcare workers were getting infected themselves. Zheng said he wanted to do something to help this situation.

So the engineer set up a team and went to work on it. The new robot is almost completely automated(自動化的). "Doctors are all very brave," Zheng said. "But this virus is just too contagious...We can use robots to do the most dangerous tasks." However, Zheng said he had heard from some doctors that it would be better not to build such robots to be fully automatic. This is because many patients still desire(渴望) a human medical worker to help calm them during treatment.

The team has made two automatic robots by now and both have been tested by doctors at hospitals in Beijing. One machine was taken to Wuhan's Union Hospital, where doctors there were being trained to use it.

【1】According to the passage, the two robots __________.

A.were almost fully automaticB.were both taken to Wuhan

C.were both made in JanuaryD.can only help fight COVID-19

【2】Why does Zheng Gangtie want to develop the robot to help doctors?

A.Because his friend is the head of a hospital in Beijing.

B.Because the doctors are afraid to be in contact with patients.

C.Because many patients want robots to calm them during treatment.

D.Because doctors may get infected themselves when treating patients.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Zheng Gangtie made the robots alone in Beijing.

B.Zheng Gangtie made lots of money by making robots.

C.Not all the doctors want the robots to be fully automatic.

D.The infected patients would like robot doctors to treat them.

【4】The passage is probably from __________.

A.an advertisementB.a textbookC.a storybookD.a newspaper

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

本文講述了一位名叫鄭剛鐵的工程師想開發(fā)機器人，來幫助醫(yī)生在治療疾病時不被感染。他組建了一個團(tuán)隊，制作了兩個機器人。其中一個被送去武漢協(xié)和醫(yī)院，那里的醫(yī)生正在被培訓(xùn)如何使用它。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The new robot is almost completely automated(自動化的).”可知，這兩個機器人幾乎完全自動化。故選A。

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“His friend told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that healthcare workers were getting infected themselves. Zheng said he wanted to do something to help this situation.”可知，鄭剛鐵想開發(fā)機器人來幫助醫(yī)生，是因為醫(yī)生在治療病人的時候也會被感染。故選D。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“So the engineer set up a team and went to work on it.”可知，鄭鋼鐵組建了一個團(tuán)隊，開始著手研究制作機器人，不是他一個人，因此A項不正確。根據(jù)“The team has made two automatic robots by now and both have been tested by doctors at hospitals in Beijing. One machine was taken to Wuhan's Union Hospital, where doctors there were being trained to use it.”可知，鄭鋼鐵他們制作的機器人，一個被送去武漢協(xié)和醫(yī)院，因此沒有提到他賺了很多錢，B項不正確。根據(jù)“However, Zheng said he had heard from some doctors that it would be better not to build such robots to be fully automatic.” 可知，不是所有的醫(yī)生都想要全自動的機器人。因此C項正確。根據(jù)“This is because many patients still desire(渴望) a human medical worker to help calm them during treatment.”可知，這是因為許多患者仍渴望人類醫(yī)務(wù)工作者幫助安撫他們，因此D項不正確。故選C。

【4】

推理判斷題。本文介紹了一隊工程師發(fā)明了機器人，因此應(yīng)摘自報紙。故選D。
