Ⅲ.2020·重庆A阅读理解
When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest. “But now, it's different，” says Nejat.“People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready.”
Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease(老年痴呆症). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding(提醒) the patients of taking their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
Some have worried that care giving robots might reduce(减少) human interaction(互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. “But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it，” says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder(自闭症障碍) improve social skills.
As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions Will patients lose interest
“One thing is clear，” Scassellati says, “robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future.”
(　　)10.Nejat's robots are designed to ________．
A．work in the factory B．make phone calls
C．take care of the old D．knock on doors
(　　)11.The writer starts the passage by ________．
A．telling two stories B．comparing two facts
C．raising a question D．giving an example
(　　)12.The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ________．
A．what the robots can do B．what serious problems the robots cause
C．what the old people can do D．what the old people think of the robots
(　　)13.According to Scassellati, we can infer that Nejat's robots ________．
A．will have feelings soon B．can take the place of humans
C．should be produced more D．won't give their own opinions
答案
Ⅰ.1.to relax　2.was bought　3.faster　4．to sell　5.smoothly
Ⅱ.6.C　7.A　8.B
9．D　交际用语。句意：“打扰一下，先生。这个训练中心全天开放吗？”“对不起，恐怕不是的。只在下午六点半到九点半开放。”That's right 意为“没错”；Yes, of course意为“是的，当然了”；I hope so 意为“我希望如此”；Sorry, I'm afraid not意为“对不起，恐怕不是的。”根据“Only from 6：30 p．m. to 9：30 p．m.”可知选D。
Ⅲ.【主旨大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大博士Goldie Nejat研发了一款专门服务老年人的机器人及其功能特点。
10．C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care giving for the old. ”可知，这款机器人是专门为照顾老人设计的。
11．B　推理判断题。文章第一段主要介绍了过去和现在人们对机器人不同的态度的对比，故作者是通过对比两个事实来开始这篇文章的。
12．A
13．C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future”可知，在未来顾客对这款机器人的需求会增加，因此这款机器人应该会被更多地生产。
