【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者借助机器人复原庞贝古城破碎的湿壁画。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Right now, I am working in the field of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city which was destroyed and buried under 13 to 20 feet of ash and small rocks during a volcanic eruption in 79 AD. With the help of a robot, I try to carefully reconstruct (重建) the city’s 2,000-year-old broken frescoes (湿壁画).”可知,作者现在正在机器人的帮助下,试图仔细地重建庞贝古城有2000年历史的破碎湿壁画。即作者正在修复损坏的考古发现。故选A。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Technology now allows us to do it—the robot we use is running by artificial intelligence (AI).As it examines a piece, it searches a database for a match, and then sends the data back to its hands to fit matching pieces together, saving a lot of hours. Its soft human-like arms and hands allow it to hold and examine the easily broken pieces without damaging them. The technology is likely to allow many museums around the world to reconstruct large-scale broken frescoes or similar objects in the future.”可知,作者使用的机器人是由人工智能运行的,即机器人不用人类来运行,选项C符合题意。机器人的使用节省了很多时间,选项B错误;机器人像人一样的柔软的手臂和手使它能够握住和检查易碎的湿壁画碎片而不会损坏它们,选项A错误;未来这项技术可能会让世界各地的许多博物馆重建大规模的破碎壁画或类似的物品,由此可推知,使用机器人来帮助修复破损的文物的实践现在并未?泛使用,选项D错误。故选C。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据第四段“In RePAIR, I’m studying the hyperspectral (高光谱的) images of the fresco pieces in storage and comparing them with the paintings on the walls of the House of the Painters at Work, part of a building in Pompeii. By comparing the resemblances in the images, we will be able to work out whether the broken pieces were from the same wall.”可知,在“修复”项目中,作者需要把储存的湿壁画碎片的高光谱图像和庞贝一座建筑部分“在职画家之家”(House of the Painters at Work)墙壁上的画作进行比较。通过比较图像,进而确定湿壁画碎片是否来自同一面墙。由此可推知,此处指通过把壁画碎片的高光谱图像和墙上的壁画图像做比较,发现两者的相似之处,就可以确定破碎的壁画碎片是否来自同一面墙。因此画线词意思为“相似性”,故选B。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Archaeology helps us understand where we come from, and technology enriches that exploration. I’m glad I’m a translator of the two worlds.”可知,作者很享受自己所从事的工作,即作者感觉自己的工作是有意义的。故选B。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了比萨饼机器人的发展。最后文章表示,随着科技的发展,我们终将拥有帮助我们完成任何任务的机器人。
5.A 词义猜测题。根据下文“…when meeting water, with a shape that can change in many ways.”可知,面粉与水融合后会变得湿软,可知这里squishy与soft同义,故选A项。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘Robots are basically preprogrammed to repeat the same actions over and over again,’ says David Held, a robot expert from Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the members of a pizza-making team.But making pizza has challenges. For instance…In what order should the steps be done ”可知,机器人制作比萨,面临的挑战是按顺序完成任务,故选B项。
7.C 段落大意题。根据第三段“The result was better than with the usual programming techniques.‘We got a little bit closer to the right shape than the former methods,’ Held says.‘But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.’”可知,本段主要讲述的是制作比萨的机器人的改进过程,故选C项。
8.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘You can imagine robots helping in hospitals, or robots that clean up toys in day care centres,’ Held says.‘The general goal is to eventually have robots that can help with whatever the task may be.’” 可知,Held认为机器人总有一天能在各个领域为人们提供帮助,故选A项。

My name is Arianna Traviglia and I’m a senior cultural and heritage researcher at the Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, Italy.
As head of the team, I encourage the development of new technologies to maintain and protect important archaeological (考古学的) findings. Right now, I am working in the field of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city which was destroyed and buried under 13 to 20 feet of ash and small rocks during a volcanic eruption in 79 AD. With the help of a robot, I try to carefully reconstruct (重建) the city’s 2,000-year-old broken frescoes (湿壁画). The project is called RePAIR.
There are thousands of fresco pieces in Pompeii, and it was nearly impossible for a human to reconstruct all the irregular pieces into big, meaningful paintings in the past. Technology now allows us to do it—the robot we use is running by artificial intelligence (AI). As it examines a piece, it searches a database for a match, and then sends the data back to its hands to fit matching pieces together, saving a lot of hours. Its soft human-like arms and hands allow it to hold and examine the easily broken pieces without damaging them. The technology is likely to allow many museums around the world to reconstruct large-scale broken frescoes or similar objects in the future.
In RePAIR, I’m studying the hyperspectral (高光谱的) images of the fresco pieces in storage and comparing them with the paintings on the walls of the House of the Painters at Work, part of a building in Pompeii. By comparing the resemblances in the images , we will be able to work out whether the broken pieces were from the same wall.
I studied history and archaeology in college. Archaeology helps us understand where we come from, and technology enriches that exploration. I’m glad I’m a translator of the two worlds. My mind runs wild when I think about the exciting Roman life that we are still missing because Pompeii’s frescoes were damaged and haven’t been reconstructed.

One day, you might be ordering your favourite pizza from a robot. Researchers at a university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are working on creating a pizza-making robot.
“Robots are basically preprogrammed to repeat the same actions over and over again,” says David Held, a robot expert from Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the members of a pizza-making team. But making pizza has challenges. For instance, the flour (面粉) will become squishy when meeting water, with a shape that can change in many ways. Also, pizza-making requires many steps—such as rolling and cutting—and several tools, including a roller, a knife and so on. In what order should the steps be done Which tools should be picked, and when “If you need to do a cooking task, there are several levels that you have to reason about,” Held says. “Once people get the hang of it, we don’t even need to think about exactly how we’re doing it—it sort of just happens. But robots can’t really understand what to do on their own.”
To start, the team used a computer to consider how a robot could lift, fatten, gather, move and cut the dough (生面团). The method has two levels of robotic reasoning: one that thinks how it should approach the overall task, and the other that thinks how it should move its “hands” to perform each action. The result was better than with the usual programming techniques. “We got a little bit closer to the right shape than the former methods,” Held says. “But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.”
For now, people will continue to make pizza the old-fashioned way: with their own hands. Still, a pizza-making robot is a good goal. And if a robot could deal with the dough, it could also work with other objects that can change shapes. “You can imagine robots helping in hospitals, or robots that clean up toys in day care centres,” Held says. “The general goal is to eventually have robots that can help with whatever the task may be.”
( )5.What does the underlined word “squishy” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Soft. B.Dirty.
C.Plain. D.Precious.
( )6.What is a challenge for pizza-making robots
A.Separating flour from water.
B.Doing all the steps in order.
C.Using several tools at once.
D.Repeating the same actions.
( )7.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.Methods of moving pizza.
B.Problems with making pizza.
C.Improvements on the pizza-making robot.
D.Suggestions on how to make pizza.
( )8.What does Held say about the development of robots in the future
A.They will help humans in different fields.
B.They will replace humans to do all the work.
C.They will do better than humans in day care centres.
D.They will do whatever task as well as humans.
