Question

【題目】Come to build robots!

Robots are fun to play with, but did you know that they are equally fun to build? Don’t worry, it’s easier than you may think. You don’t have to know lots about electronics or be a genius at engineering to have a go at creating your own robot. There are lots of simple kits (配套原件) and resources available that make it easy to build a robot in your own home, and if you don’t feel confident enough to have a go at home, there are plenty of clubs that offer courses in robot-building for young people.

◇Why to build?

“Creating a robot teaches you in great about how it is put together and how it works, “says Steve Hubbard, of Robot Fun, which hosts robotics master classes for teens in Suffolk. “As you build and test a robot, you also learn how to fix it when things go wrong, as they always do.” Building and programming a robot is a practical application of science and engineering and a great way of learning how to solve all sorts of problems. You don’t need any special skills. If you can build with Lego or draw a line, you can build and program a robot.

◇How to start?

Matthew Applegate runs the Creative Computing Club in Ipswich, Suffolk. He says, “The Lego Robots kits are amazing. You can use cardboard, glue sticks and string to make a prototype (雛形).’’ Some kits can be expensive but there are ways to build your robots using things around the house. You can build an arm with cardboard, straws and string, adding it to a low-cost kit.

Building robots is really great. It isn’t easy at first，but when you get better, you will be surprised how much you can do. Come to get your first robot kit and make it whirr into life!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了為什么要自己建造機(jī)器人以及怎樣開(kāi)始建造機(jī)器人，并希望我們能參與到建造機(jī)器人的活動(dòng)中來(lái)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段關(guān)鍵句“You don’t have to know lots about electronics or be a genius at engineering to have a go at creating your own robot.”可知，如果你想嘗試創(chuàng)造你自己的機(jī)器人，你不需要對(duì)電子學(xué)有太多了解，也不必是一個(gè)工程天才。再根據(jù)第一段關(guān)鍵句“There are lots of simple kits (配套原件) and resources available that make it easy to build a robot in your own home.”可知，如果你想在自己家里創(chuàng)造機(jī)器人，有很多配套原件和資源可以使用。綜上所述，在家創(chuàng)造機(jī)器人必不可少的是組裝所需的零件。故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二行句子“For more information on kits and classes:tinyurl.com/TW J-resources”可知，如果你想了解更多關(guān)于配套原件的信息，你可以訪問(wèn)tinyurl.com/TW J-resources。故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章題目“Come to build robots!”和文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要是在宣傳一種有趣的制造機(jī)器人的方法，并希望你可以參與進(jìn)來(lái)。文章最后四行介紹的四個(gè)網(wǎng)址，如果你想了解更多的制造機(jī)器人的信息，可以訪問(wèn)這幾個(gè)網(wǎng)站，也可以側(cè)面說(shuō)明網(wǎng)站起的正是宣傳介紹的作用。故選D項(xiàng)。

推理判斷題的解題方法：1. 通過(guò)文章陳述的事實(shí)進(jìn)行推斷；2. 根據(jù)文章所提供的背景，人物的表情，動(dòng)作和語(yǔ)言進(jìn)行推斷；3. 根據(jù)作者的意圖和態(tài)度進(jìn)行推斷。例如本篇文章中的第三小題，要求判斷文章的寫(xiě)作目的，我們可以通過(guò)文章陳述的事實(shí)進(jìn)行推斷。綜合全文及文章題目“Come to build robots!”可知，文章主要是在宣傳一種有趣的制造機(jī)器人的方法，并希望你可以參與進(jìn)來(lái)。文章最后四行介紹的四個(gè)網(wǎng)址，也可以側(cè)面說(shuō)明網(wǎng)站起的正是宣傳介紹的作用。故選D項(xiàng)。
