A
Are you feeling lonely and looking for a hand to hold If you simply have no one to hold hands with and it’s impossible for you to look for one at the moment, then these Japanese scientists have what you’re looking for: a hand that you can hold whenever you wish, if you don’t mind a robotic one that is!
Gifu University recently built a robot hand which they named “Osampo Kanojo”, which means “My Girlfriend in Walk” according to the engineers. The hand is designed to feel like a real human hand-and even smell like one.
The designers want to give some comfort and companionship to lonely people, especially now that COVID-19 has made face-to-face human communication impossible. The hand can hold one’s arm, so a person can let go of it without the robot dropping to the ground.
It can also squeeze someone’s hand back and even get wet skin. If that’s not enough, the hand has a small speaker that will produce the sound of footsteps as you walk and also let out the smell of a woman’s shampoo.
“For some people, finding a girlfriend is very difficult,” the researcher said. So they created this robot hand so that lonely men can “experience holding their girlfriends’ hands more easily” than by actually dating.
This is clearly made for men, but the engineers are planning to introduce a male version of this hand. The features would be similar except for the smell. Pretty soon women are likely to hold a hand that smells of cologne or motor oil.
1. What does the hand feel like
A. A human hand. B. A robotic hand. C. A stone hand. D. A wood hand.
2. Which idea leads the scientists to invent such a robot
A. Giving some comfort to lonely people. B. Helping lonely people with boring work.
C. Helping disabled people with daily work. D. Taking care of old people without children.
3. What can’t the robot hand do
A. Hold one’s arm. B. Cook for their owners.
C. Give out the smell of a woman’s shampoo. D. Produce the sound of footsteps.
4. What is the difference between the female and male version of the robot hand
A. The smell. B. The sound. C. The skin. D. The price.
5. What can we learn according to the text
A. The female version of the robot hand smells like cologne(科隆香水).
B. It is difficult for most people to find a boyfriend or girlfriend.
C. The robot hand was designed to stop face-to-face communication.
D. The robot hand was designed by some Japanese scientists.
B 阅读还原
Robots may seem smart, but they cannot even pick up a chess piece. “Robots are klutzes (笨手笨脚的人),” said the US AI engineer Ken Goldberg.
Robot scientists say that one-year-old human babies have better movement skills than robots do. ____1_____
Pick things up.
Picking things up is not easy. If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil and look at the distance. _____2_____ A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Calculating (计算) the distance is not easy. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this, either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.
Get around in our world.
If someone drops you in a building you’ve never been to, you might feel a bit lost. But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. You will not get stuck in a corner. _____3_____ This is because it’s hard for them to understand spaces, especially large, blank things such as walls or ceilings. Scientists need to train them with lots of data to learn this.
_____4_____
“Common sense” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We pick up a coffee cup by its handle (把手). We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot.
A robot It may turn the cup upside down. It may hold the hot part of the cup, damaging itself. _____5_____ But even huge databases don’t help much. There are just too many rules—and too many exceptions. Maybe they just need more time to learn.
A. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules.
B. Then we move our hands to it.
C. Let’s take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids but difficult for robots.
D. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on ceilings and floors.
E. Understand the world made by people.

A. play a part in B. play role in C. joins in D. take a part in
【答案】 A
【解析】句意：我喜欢游戏节目，我希望有一天我能参与其中一项游戏类节目，回答出所有的问题并赢得一个大奖！A在…方面扮演角色，参与；B搭配不对，play a role in指的是扮演……的角色，在…中起作用；C参加某项活动；D搭配不正确，take part in参加。情态动词can后跟动词原形，首先排除C；结合句意，此处指参与游戏类节目，故答案选A。
2. More and more people can ______ over 100 years old in the future.
A. live for B. live in C. live to be D. live be
【答案】 C
【解析】句意：将来有越来越多的人活到100岁以上。A为…而生活；B住在（某地）；C活到…；D选项中live be两个动词不能直接连用，搭配错误。结合语境“将来有越来越多的人__100岁以上。”可知，应该是“活到”，故答案选C。
3. Anna is in a hurry because the train is leaving ______ half an hour.
A. for B. by C. in D. on

【解析】句意：Anna很匆忙，因为火车半个小时后就要离开了。根据语境"Anna很匆忙，因为火车半个小时后就要离开了。"，句子的时态是一般将来时，half an hour表示"半个小时"，指一段时间，"in+时间段"表示"一段时间以后"，句中的谓语动词用一般将来时态，句中的is leaving就是用进行时表示将来，故答案选C。

点睛：There be句型表示在某地有某物或某人。在there be 句型中，主语是单数或不可数名词，be 动词用is；主语是复数，be 动词用are ；如有几件物品，be 动词根据最近be动词的那个名词决定。Have/has表示某人或某物“拥有”什么东西，强调“所属关系”，而且某人某物作为句子的主语。此句是There be句型的一般将来时态。
5. The doctor asked my father to eat _____ pears and drink ___ coffee.
A. fewer, less B. fewer, fewer C. less, few D. less, less

【解析】句意：医生让我的父亲少吃梨，少喝咖啡。fewer是few的比较级形式，更少的，修饰可数名词；less是little的比较级，修饰不可数名词。第一个空后面的pears是可数名词，故用fewer修饰；第二个空后的coffee是不可数名词，故用less修饰。选A。

A
Are you feeling lonely and looking for a hand to hold If you simply have no one to hold hands with and it’s impossible for you to look for one at the moment, then these Japanese scientists have what you’re looking for: a hand that you can hold whenever you wish, if you don’t mind a robotic one that is!
Gifu University recently built a robot hand which they named “Osampo Kanojo”, which means “My Girlfriend in Walk” according to the engineers. The hand is designed to feel like a real human hand-and even smell like one.
The designers want to give some comfort and companionship to lonely people, especially now that COVID-19 has made face-to-face human communication impossible. The hand can hold one’s arm, so a person can let go of it without the robot dropping to the ground.
It can also squeeze someone’s hand back and even get wet skin. If that’s not enough, the hand has a small speaker that will produce the sound of footsteps as you walk and also let out the smell of a woman’s shampoo.
“For some people, finding a girlfriend is very difficult,” the researcher said. So they created this robot hand so that lonely men can “experience holding their girlfriends’ hands more easily” than by actually dating.
This is clearly made for men, but the engineers are planning to introduce a male version of this hand. The features would be similar except for the smell. Pretty soon women are likely to hold a hand that smells of cologne or motor oil.
1. What does the hand feel like
A. A human hand. B. A robotic hand. C. A stone hand. D. A wood hand.
2. Which idea leads the scientists to invent such a robot
A. Giving some comfort to lonely people. B. Helping lonely people with boring work.
C. Helping disabled people with daily work. D. Taking care of old people without children.
3. What can’t the robot hand do
A. Hold one’s arm. B. Cook for their owners.
C. Give out the smell of a woman’s shampoo. D. Produce the sound of footsteps.
4. What is the difference between the female and male version of the robot hand
A. The smell. B. The sound. C. The skin. D. The price.
5. What can we learn according to the text
A. The female version of the robot hand smells like cologne(科隆香水).
B. It is difficult for most people to find a boyfriend or girlfriend.
C. The robot hand was designed to stop face-to-face communication.
D. The robot hand was designed by some Japanese scientists.

B 阅读还原
Robots may seem smart, but they cannot even pick up a chess piece. “Robots are klutzes (笨手笨脚的人),” said the US AI engineer Ken Goldberg.
Robot scientists say that one-year-old human babies have better movement skills than robots do. ____1_____
Pick things up.
Picking things up is not easy. If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil and look at the distance. _____2_____ A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Calculating (计算) the distance is not easy. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this, either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.
Get around in our world.
If someone drops you in a building you’ve never been to, you might feel a bit lost. But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. You will not get stuck in a corner. _____3_____ This is because it’s hard for them to understand spaces, especially large, blank things such as walls or ceilings. Scientists need to train them with lots of data to learn this.
_____4_____
“Common sense” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We pick up a coffee cup by its handle (把手). We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot.
A robot It may turn the cup upside down. It may hold the hot part of the cup, damaging itself. _____5_____ But even huge databases don’t help much. There are just too many rules—and too many exceptions. Maybe they just need more time to learn.
A. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules.
B. Then we move our hands to it.
C. Let’s take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids but difficult for robots.
D. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on ceilings and floors.
E. Understand the world made by people.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 4. E 5. A
