9.Working outside the International Space Station (ISS),an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris(碎片)that damages his spacesuit.Alarmed,he realizes he's just seconds from disaster.Moving fast,his prepared robot partner slaps(拍打)an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit.Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS.Inside,the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker's life controls everything the robot avatar has done-including rescuing its human partner-while it works outside the space station.
R2:The Real Deal
A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers,whether they're as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base.Space-travelling avatars,controlled remotely by humans are still a concept.But earlier in the year 2011,NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time.It's called R2,short for Robonaut 2.The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested.
NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts."Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans,"says NASA's Matt Ondler.R2 is controlled by humans using laptops. It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks,such as"find an object."In most situations,humans are still far better with their hands than robots.But that's not necessarily true in space,where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves.And since they don't need to eat,breathe,or go to the bathroom,robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs.
R2 isn't ready for spacewalks yet,but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible."Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D's:jobs that are dirty,dull,and dangerous,"says Ondler.
To The Moon
Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon.Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human.A robot is stronger,can survive in tighter spaces,and doesn't need air.Even better,robots don't care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth.
Once on the moon,the robonaut could perform experiments,send live video back to Earth,talk to classrooms full of kids,and explore the lunar surface.R2 will be able to move using legs,or by attaching its torso(軀干)to a four-wheeled rover(探測(cè)器) and becoming part of vehicle.And when R2's battery is low,it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice.All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!
The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself.But for difficult tasks,a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game.NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions.So the next time your mom complains that you're spending too much time on video games,just tell her you're training for a job with NASA.

51.In paragraph1,the writer gives a detailed description of a space accident toD.
    A.stress the danger of an astronaut's walk in space
    B.tell readers the unforgettable experience of an astronaut
    C.show his concern for the present situation of space walk
    D.introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts

    A.It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs.
    B.It has been programmed to help astronauts with three D's.
    C.It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings.
    D.It proves to be a good companion for space travelers.
53.By saying"All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!",the writer means thatB.
    A.a(chǎn)n ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings
    B.a(chǎn)n ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth
    C.a(chǎn) future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled rover

54.It can be learned from the passage thatC.
    A.the future R2 will perform experiments without human control
    B.humans are much smarter with their hands than robots in space
    C.someday humans might control an avatar on the moon
    D.sending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robot.

分析 本文講述了機(jī)器人在太空的作用.在第一段中描述了宇航員在太空艙外執(zhí)行任務(wù)時(shí),被太空碎片擊破了太空服,在這緊急時(shí)刻,他的機(jī)器人助理幫助他補(bǔ)助了這個(gè)破洞,從而挽救了他的生命.而后面的幾段為我們描述里R2在太空的作用,它們能夠完成以下小任務(wù),不需要吃飯呼吸洗澡,可以長(zhǎng)期進(jìn)行工作;R2可以可以用腿移動(dòng),它的軀干可以連著探測(cè)器,成為它的一部分,當(dāng)它的電量低的時(shí)候,可以在太陽(yáng)能充電站里充電.對(duì)于復(fù)雜任務(wù),人類的操控者控制機(jī)器人就像控制游戲里自己的化身一樣,可以很順利的完成.

解答 51.D.推理判斷題.在第一段中描述了宇航員在太空艙外執(zhí)行任務(wù)時(shí),被太空碎片擊破了太空服,在這緊急時(shí)刻,他的機(jī)器人助理幫助他補(bǔ)助了這個(gè)破洞,從而挽救了他的生命,因此讀者就知道機(jī)器人在太空的作用,所以答案是D introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts介紹了機(jī)器人可能為宇航員做的事.
52.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段的 It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks和since they don't need to eat,breathe,or go to the bathroom,robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs.可知機(jī)器人能夠完成以下小任務(wù),它們不需要吃飯呼吸洗澡,可以長(zhǎng)期進(jìn)行工作;根據(jù)第五段中Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human 可知送機(jī)器人到月球上比人類便宜的多;根據(jù)第六段的Once on the moon,the robonaut could perform experiments,send live video back to Earth,talk to classrooms full of kids,and explore the lunar surface可知機(jī)器人在月球上可以完成各種復(fù)雜的任務(wù).因此我們可以推斷出正確答案是 A.It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs譯為"對(duì)于簡(jiǎn)單任務(wù)和復(fù)雜任務(wù)機(jī)器人有成本低的優(yōu)勢(shì)".
53.B.句義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)劃線句子的上幾句R2 will be able to move using legs,or by attaching its torso(軀干)to a four-wheeled rover(探測(cè)器) and becoming part of vehicle.And when R2's battery is low,it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice.可知R2可以可以用腿移動(dòng),它的軀干可以連著探測(cè)器,成為它的一部分,當(dāng)它的電量低的時(shí)候,可以在太陽(yáng)能充電站里充電,因此可以看出它的生活很便利,就像人類在地球的生活一樣,所以答案是 B.a(chǎn)n ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth譯為"一個(gè)普通的機(jī)器人在太空的生活和地球上人類的生活一樣舒適".
54.C.細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)末段But for difficult tasks,a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game.可知人類的操控者控制機(jī)器人就像控制游戲里自己的化身一樣,因此答案是 C.someday humans might control an avatar on the moon譯為"人類能夠控制月球上的機(jī)器人就像控制自己的替身"

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查科教類閱讀
推理判斷題最主要的就是注重文章結(jié)構(gòu)的邏輯關(guān)系,抓住關(guān)鍵詞,結(jié)合有關(guān)的生活和社會(huì)常識(shí),理清文章的結(jié)構(gòu)層次、文章內(nèi)容和文章的中心思想,推斷作者的寫作意圖和寫作目的,進(jìn)行推斷.

3.A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海灘),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.
13.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?D
A.They were made last week
B.They showed undersea sceneries
C.They were found by a cameraman
D.They recorded a disastrous adventure
14.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?C
A.Frank Hurley          
B.Ernest Shackleton
C.Robert Falcon Scott     
D.Caroline Alexander
15.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage?C
A.Artistic creation       
B.Scientific research
C.Money making        
D.Treasure hunting.
