In today’s world, robots serve people as first responders, companions and problem solvers. And you find them in various places from the operating table to the kitchen and classrooms. Advances in artificial intelligence allow robots to perfect important functions beyond human capabilities.
As the older population desire to stay in their homes, effectively designed robots are needed to help make this demand a safer and more sustainable(可持续的) option. Another change in health care is that robots have already been used in over 20,000 operations. Surgical(外科的)robots like the da Vinci Surgical Systems are great examples of cutting edge robotic technology. Besides, instead of going to a brick building to see a physician, patients will be checked by robots.
At home, household robots can help people save time. You can schedule a warm meal to be ready when you return from work. Robotic cookers can steam, fry, cook and bake as long as you set them up. These robots are bound to develop into more advanced versions in the upcoming years and could change the look and feel of our homes.
As we know, a single teacher doesn’t have the ability to meet the needs of personalized learning for every student in a classroom. This is where computer based learning comes into play; it doesn’t replace the teacher but allows students to learn at their own pace. Robots will continue to boost personalized learning. The human like robot NAO works to form bonds with students and comes with senses of natural interaction, from listening, speaking, moving and connecting with students.
Today, robots of all types are being designed to reduce the workload, complement human skill sets and enable professionals to focus on more important activities. Robots are meant to make human life easier and offer a more comfortable future. As technology advances and becomes more affordable, it is expected to see more changes and more industries embracing robots and all they can do to boost our standard of living.

The future home is something that people have talked about for decades. Because the future home idea inspires our imagination, scientists and engineers have been working hard to develop different systems to make houses “smarter”.

The future home will also have smart appliances (家电) as well. There will be a vast networking system connecting them. Ovens, microwaves and refrigerators will be regulated automatically (自动地), so remote cooking will be bound to come true and meals are prepared for your arrival.
There will also be green systems in place such as saving and reusing wash water and bath water. Plants and people may receive pure or mineralized drinking water.
If you think this future home idea is pie in the sky or science fiction, then think it again. Most of the systems described here are either in development or already out at the market. Future homes may not be standard yet for the middle class but this isn’t as far ahead as many people would think.

A robot is any machine that can work 1 (independent) and perform tasks otherwise done by humans. Robots as we know them started out as science fiction (科幻作品). The author Isaac Asimov coined the term “robotics” and 2 (come) up with the Three Laws of Robotics. The first of these was that robots may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, and 3 (scientist) referred to Asimov’s laws when they started making real life robots.
In 1954, Unimate, a large robotic arm, became the world’s first 4 (industry) robot.
For a long time, robots were only found in factories or laboratories. But later, robots found 5 (they) way into homes and classrooms. Nowadays, robots have become an important part of space missions.
Some people fear that robots will take too many jobs away 6 humans. This process is called automation. However, some experts think that the use of robots will allow businesses 7 (create) more jobs than have been lost. The coronavirus pandemic (冠状病毒流行病) has shown how robots and humans can work together. In Singapore, a robotic dog called Spot has been used to help enforce (强制执行) social distancing. It was made by the company Boston Dynamics, 8 has also developed a human like robot called Atlas.

Ⅰ.1.existence 考查名词。句意:人工智能是人类最伟大的成就还是对我们生存最大的威胁 形容词性物主代词our修饰名词,应填exist的名词形式existence;existence表示“生存”时为不可数名词,故用原形。
2.convenient 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知is后跟形容词作表语,故应填convenience的形容词形式。
3.built 考查过去分词。句意:例如,他把超级智能私人助理装进了他的手机。分析句子结构可知此处应用非谓语动词作宾语补足语;根据句意可知,assistant和build之间是被动关系,故应填过去分词built。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当今世界机器人能够完成超出人类能力的重要任务,并且随着技术的进步,预计机器人会有更多的变化。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Surgical(外科的)robots like the da Vinci Surgical Systems are great examples of cutting edge robotic technology. Besides, instead of going to a brick building to see a physician, patients will be checked by robots.”可知,外科机器人在医疗保健中发挥着重要作用。故选C。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Robots will continue to boost personalized learning. The human like robot NAO works...connecting with students.”可知,机器人NAO的主要功能是促进个性化学习。B项中的“Promoting”与文中的“boost”是近义词。
3.A 推理判断题。分析文章的结构可知,第一段总体概括机器人的功能,第二、三、四段分别介绍了外科机器人、家用机器人、类人机器人NAO,第五段整体概括了机器人的发展方向。所以这篇文章是总分总的结构,故选A。
4.C 主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了当今世界机器人能够完成超出人类能力的重要任务,分别介绍了外科机器人、家用机器人和类人机器人这三类机器人,并结合最后一段中的“As technology advances and becomes more affordable, it is expected to see more changes and more industries embracing robots and all they can do to boost our standard of living.(随着技术的进步及变得让人们更加能负担得起,预计人们会看到更多的变化,更多的行业接纳机器人,以及它们为提高我们的生活水平所做的一切。)”可知,C项“机器人正在改变世界”能概括全文内容。
【高频词汇】 1.companion n.同伴;陪伴 2.advance n.进步,进展 v.(知识、技术等)发展,进步 3.schedule v.安排;预定n.工作计划;日程安排 4.pace n.速度,节奏
5.boost vt.推动;促进
长难句
原句 As technology advances and becomes more affordable, it is expected to see more changes and more industries embracing robots and all they can do to boost our standard of living.
分析 本句为主从复合句。“As technology advances and becomes more affordable”为As引导的时间状语从句;主句中it为形式主语,不定式短语“to see more changes...standard of living”为真正的主语;“they can do to boost our standard of living”为省略关系词that的定语从句,修饰all。
译文 随着技术的进步及变得让人们更加能负担得起,预计人们会看到更多的变化,更多的行业接纳机器人,以及它们为提高我们的生活水平所做的一切。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。本文通过想象,描述了“未来智能家居”的样子。
5.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“The video camera at the entrance recognizes visitors using facial recognition software.”可知,在未来的家居中,面部识别软件可以用来识别访客。故选C。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“There will also be green systems in place such as saving and reusing wash water and bath water.”可知,未来家居中有环保的绿色系统,其中包括节约和再利用水。因此D项(节约和再利用水)表明未来家居是环保的。故选D。
7.B 词义猜测题。根据语境及画线词所在句中的but可知but前后是转折关系;根据画线词后边的“but this isn’t as far ahead as many people would think”可知这部分是说未来家居离我们没有那么遥远,由此推测but前边说的是不太理想的方面,由此可推断画线词所在句想表达的是:虽然对于中产阶级来说,未来家居可能还不普遍,但它并不像人们想的那么遥远。由此可知画线词在此处的意思是“普遍的(common)”。故选B。attractive吸引人的;special特殊的;excellent优秀的。
8.A 主旨大意题。文章第一段引出“未来家居”这一话题;第二段到第四段分别介绍了未来智能家居各个方面的样子,包括门口的人脸识别、智能家电及绿色环保系统;第五段介绍了作者对关于未来智能家居的这些展望最终能实现的信心。由此可知,文章主要讲的是未来智能家居的相关信息,因此A项(未来智能家居)适合作为本文的题目。故选A。

4.recognition n.识别 5.software n.软件 6.remote adj.远程的;遥远的;偏僻的 7.prepared adj.准备好的

4.industrial 考查形容词。设空处修饰名词robot,应用形容词,表示“工业的”,故填industrial。
5.their 考查代词。设空处修饰名词way,应用形容词性物主代词,故填their。
6.from 考查介词。句意:有些人担心机器人会从人类那里夺走太多的工作。take sth. away from sb.意为“从某人那里夺走某物”。
7.to create 考查不定式。allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”,故填to create。
8.which 考查定语从句。句意:它是由Boston Dynamics公司制作的,该公司还发明了一个类人机器人,叫做Atlas。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,且逗号前面的句子意思完整,不缺成分,空后句子缺少主语,故推测设空处引导定语从句。先行词指物,从句中缺少主语,故填which。

长难句
原句 As technology advances and becomes more affordable, it is expected to see more changes and more industries embracing robots and all they can do to boost our standard of living.
分析 本句为主从复合句。“As technology advances and becomes more affordable”为As引导的时间状语从句;主句中it为形式主语,不定式短语“to see more changes...standard of living”为真正的主语;“they can do to boost our standard of living”为省略关系词that的定语从句,修饰all。
译文 随着技术的进步及变得让人们更加能负担得起,预计人们会看到更多的变化,更多的行业接纳机器人,以及它们为提高我们的生活水平所做的一切。
