第二十二篇 RealWld Robots
When you think of a robot, do you envision ashiny, metallic device having the same general shape as a human being,perfming humanlike functions, responding to your questions in a monotonevoice accentuated by high-pitched tones beeps? This is the way many of usimagine a robot, but in the real wld, a robot is not humanoid at all. Insteada robot often is a voiceless, box-shaped machine that efficiently carries outrepetitive dangerous functions usually perfmed by humans. Today’s robot is me than an automatic machine that perfms one taskagain again. A modern robot is programmed with varying degrees ofartificial intelligence—that is, a robot contains acomputer program that tells it how to perfm tasks associated with human intelligence,such as reasoning, drawing conclusions, learning from past experience.
A robot does not possess a human shape fthe simple reason that a two-legged robot has great difficulty remainingbalanced. A robot does, however, move from place to place on wheels axlesthat roll rotate. A robot even has limbs that swivel move incombination with ts mots. To find its way in its surroundings1, arobot utilizes various built-in senss. Antennae attached to the robot’s base detect anything they bump into. If the robot starts to teeteras it moves on an incline, a gyroscope a pendulum inside it senses thevertical differential. To determine its distance from an object how quicklyit will reach the object,the robot bounces beams oflaser light ultrasonic sound waves off obstructions in its path2. These other senss constantly feed infmation to the computer, which then analyzesthe infmation crects adjusts the robot’sactions. As science technology advance, the robot too will progress in itsfunctions use of artificial-intelligence programs.

A.ever
B.never
C.either
D.neither
答案:B
解析:
本空格所在句是The United States has 10 had a president or vice president or secretary of state Joe.根据上文中提到的“Joe只是一个普通人、是一个工人阶层普通人的名字”。空格所在句意为“一位名为Joe的总统,副总统或国务卿”。上、下文语义矛盾,所以可判断出,该句空格处需填入一个表示否定含义的词。neither也表否定,但指两者都不,不符合题意,答案选B项never“从没有,从来不是”。【命题思路】此题考查的是语义逻辑及语法搭配。【干扰排除】either…or…和neither…nor…,都仅限于两者间搭配使用,而此句提到总统、副总统和国务卿三者。此外,neither后面接nor,而非or。因此either、neither项都可排除。根据句意,该句“美国的总统,副总统或国务卿从来没有名字是Joe的”,此句表达否定的意思,所以也排除A项。G.I.Joe had a 11 career fighting German,Japanese,and Korean troops.He appears as a character,or a 12 of American personalities,in the 1945 movie The Story of G.I.Joe,based on the last days of war correspondent Ernie Pyle.Some of the soldiers Pyle 13 portrayed themselves in the film.【译文】G.I.Joe有着非同寻常的战争经历,他曾与德国、日本和朝鲜军队作战,在1945年的名为《美国大兵乔的故事》的电影中,他作为一个角色出现,作为一个集中了美国人性格的人物出现。该电影是根据战地记者Ernie Pyle在战争后期的报道拍摄而成的。

A.on the contrary
B.by this means
C.from the outset
D.at that point
答案:D
解析:
词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是G.I.Joe was any American soldier,20 the most important person in their lives.同19题一样,要联系文章所给出的背景信息解答本题,美国大兵在第二次世界大战中帮助世界许多国家人民获得自由,这些国家的人对美国大兵都心怀感激。本题答案为D项,意为“从那方面来说,Joe这个名字代表着所有的美国大兵,他们是这些国家人民生活中最重要的人。”【命题思路】此题考查的是介词短语。同时选择正确答案还需结合上下文逻辑关系。

A.handed out
B.turn over
C.brought back
D.passed down
答案:A
解析:
词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是and it was on all of the articles__8 to soldiers。根据所给选项,可判断出所需填入词是动词ed形式作后置定语,用来修饰限定前面的articles。四个选项中,只有A项符合题意,意为“它(这个标识)出现在所有分发给士兵的物品上面”。【命题思路】该题考查词组搭配。需要考生平时积累固定词组搭配。【干扰排除】D项passed down是强干扰项,意为“遗传,传下来”,指遗产、某种风俗习惯或者传奇故事的流传,排除该项。B、C两项用在此处意思不符,故排除。

A.meaning
B.implying
C.symbolizing
D.claiming
答案:A
解析:
本空格所在句是G.I.is just a military abbreviation 7 Government Issue。military abbreviation意为“军事用语缩写”,可推断出Government Issue是G.I.的全称。由选项可知,该空语法结构是动词ing形式作定语,修饰空格前面部分。根据题意应选A项。【命题思路】该题考查近义词辨析。此类题占的比例比较大,需要考生平时多积累。【干扰排除】Government Issue是对G.I.的解释说明,既无象征意思也无隐含意思。所以B项和C项排除。D项意为“声称”,放在这里意思不符,也排除。C项是强干扰项,但symbolize强调象征意义。例:The fall of the Berlin Wall symbolized the end of the Cold War between East and West.柏林墙的倒塌象征着东西方冷战的结束。

A.for
B.into
C.form
D.against
答案:D
解析:
词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是up__6__the best trained,best equipped,fiercest,most brutal enemies seen in centuries。由所需填入词后面的信息:训练最有素、装备最精良、最凶猛和最残忍的敌人,尤其是关键词enemies敌人,可判断出该题答案为D项against。意为“反抗敌人”。【命题思路】考查介词的使用。需要考生掌握介词的用法以及介词和动词的搭配。【干扰排除】此处考查固定搭配,up against sb./sth.“起身反抗某人/某物”。其他介词一般与up搭配会有一个动词。A项for“为了”后面跟对象或者原因,如go up for“追求……”。His name is not much.G.I.is just a military abbreviation 7__Government Issue,and it was on all of the articles 8 to soldiers.And Joe?A common name for a guy who never 9__it to the top.Joe Blow,Joe Palooka,Joe Magrac…a working class name.The United States has 10 had a president or vice president or secretary of state Joe.【译文】他的名字并没有过多特殊含义。G.I.只不过是一个军事缩写词,全称是Government Issue(军用品),这个标识在分发给士兵的所有物品上都可以看到。那么Joe呢?这只是一个的普通人的名字,一个不带有任何功名利禄色彩的名字。Joe Blow、Joe Magrac等等,也都只是工薪阶层的名字。美国的总统、副总统或国务卿从来没有名字是Joe的。
