三、阅读理解
Powerful enough to lift 1,000 pounds,capable of going where no man can go and able to stop a flowing oil well,a team of undersea robots have become known as superheroes in the effort to stop the oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico.
The underwater remote-operated vehicles are able to stand 5,000 pounds of deepsea pressure in the Gulf of Mexico.They can also lift a ton,take photos,and they are the best-equipped vehicles in the world.“They are very active and they are playing a very vital role in everything we do,”BP spokesman Mark Salt said in a statement.“People can’t be down there,but these robots can do.”
Robots are working 5,000 feet below sea level to help contain the leak(泄漏),which has poured out millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon,a kind of off-shore drilling(钻孔)equipment operated by BP,blew up on April 20,killing 11 workers.
The cameras that provide the data are attached to the robots as they work around the leaking site.They made news this week when one robot bumped into a cap that had been collecting some of the oil,forcing BP to remove it for about 10 hours and leaving the flow into the Gulf unchecked.However,there’s been only one other problem in two months,despite their demanding tasks.
The most popular remote-operated vehicle is known as the “ROV”and is being used in the project.It’s 11.5 feet long and weighs 8,000 pounds.It has human-like arms and its wrists can work continuously like a drill.Jeffrey Harris,an employee from Oceaneering International Inc,which provided about 14 robots to work in the Gulf,said,“It’s like a construction worker,but it is doing one of the most demanding jobs in the world.”

A.take photos along the seaside beach

8.答案:am attached to
9.答案:is known as

三、
答案:1.D; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,水下机器人的主要任务是阻止墨西哥湾的原油进一步泄漏。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中Mark Salt所言可知,水下机器人在堵漏过程中起到很重要的作用。
3.细节理解题。由最后一段中“It’s 11.5 feet long and weighs 8,000 pounds.”可知,B项正确。
4.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了在墨西哥湾原油泄露事件后,人们使用深海机器人阻止原油进一步扩散的事件,故C项最符合文意。
四、
答案:1. which2. the3. absent4. to be harmed5. alarmed6. wearing7. if/whether8. embarrassed9. It10. began
解析:
本文讲述了一款全方位模拟人类的机器人投入Larry的家中进行试用的故事。
1.which考査定语从句,分析句子结构可知,空处指代robot,并在非限制性定语从句中做主语,故填which。
2.the考査冠词。此处是第二次提到机器人,故用定冠词the表示特指。
3. absent考查词性转换。由空前的be可知,此处应用所给词的形容词形式做表语。
4. to be harmed考査非谓语动词。allow sb. to do sth.为固定用法,且her与harm之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填to be harmed。
5. alarmed 考查词性转换。feel alarmd“感到惊恐",空前feel提示空处应用形容词。
6. wearing考查现在分词做伴随状语。分析句子结构可知,Tony与wear之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故填wearing。
7.if/whether考査宾语从句。根据语境可知,空处意为“是否”,故用if/whether引导宾语从句。
8. embarrassed 考査词性转换。根据空前的felt可知,空处应用形容词,又因是修饰人,故填embarrassed。
9. It考查代词。it在此处是形式主语,真正的主语是that he looked so human。
10. began考査动词的时态。整篇文章讲述的是过去的事情,故用一般过去时。
