Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may drive your car in the near future. Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission (任务) to explore the red planet. Robots also help people in natural disasters. They are used in search and rescue operations
following an earthquake or a nuclear accident.
In most cases, robots are sent to places considered to be unsafe. The problem is that all of those types of situations are extremely unpredictable and unfriendly. And it is very likely that robots in those situations become damaged. When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually finds the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability. Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in the same way.
Jeff Clune, a computer scientist, is developing the latest and advanced technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. He wants the machines to have the ability to analyze the cause and change to continue performing until they can be repaired.
The researchers have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under complicated conditions. They programmed a hexapod robot with six legs and a robotic arm. Their findings were reported in the journal Nature. Once the hexapod robots become damaged, they can use their own knowledge of how their body works to find a solution.
The hexapod robots are also programmed with childlike curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for the answers. The whole process just takes about a minute for the robots to overcome the damage and continue to carry out the task.
【解题导语】 如今，机器人无处不在，它们被应用于各个领域。科学家们正在研发一种新的技术，使机器人遭到损坏时能够迅速做出改变并继续执行任务。

It's 8 a．m., Tuesday, Nov. 18,2028, and you are headed for a business appointment 300 miles away. You step into your circle, two-passenger air-cushion car, press a series of buttons and the national traffic computer notes your destination, figures out the current traffic situation and signals your car to slide out of the garage. Hands free, you sit back and begin to read the morning paper which is flashed on a flat TV screen over the car's dashboard. Tapping a button changes the page.
The car speeds up to 150 mph in the city's countryside，and then hits 250 mph in less built-up areas, driving over the smooth plastic road. You fly past a string of cities,
many of them covered by the new domes (圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round. Traffic is heavy, typically, but there's no need to worry. The traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. There hasn't been an accident since the system began.
Suddenly your TV phone buzzes. A business partner wants a sketch of a new kind of impeller your firm is putting out for sports boats. You reach for your case and draw the diagram with a pencil-thin infrared flashlight (红外线闪光灯) on what looks like a TV screen lining the back of the case. The diagram is sent to a similar screen in your partner's office, 200 miles away. He presses a button and a fixed copy of the sketch rolls out of the machine. He wishes you good luck at the coming meeting and signs off.
Ninety minutes after leaving your home, you slide beneath the dome of your destination city. Your car slows down and heads for an outer-core office building where you'll meet your colleagues. After you get out, the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return. Private cars aren't allowed inside most city cores. Moving sidewalks and electrams (电车) carry the public from one location to another.
【解题导语】 本文主要通过描述一个人开车上班，以及途中各种先进技术的使用等介绍了在2028年未来生活的情况。
5．The traffic computer in your car can ________. A．keep your car at a safe distance from other cars B．keep your car at the same speed in different situations C．keep your car receiving signals of TV programs D．keep your car driving avoiding heavy traffic
解析：选A 细节理解题。从第二段的“The traffic computer，which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities，keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart.”可知，交通电脑可以使汽车之间的距离相隔50码(约46米)，使汽车保持安全的距离。
6．Why are the cities covered by the new domes? A．To prevent people from being wet in the rain.
B．To stop the climate of the cities changing violently all year. C．To protect the travelers against the strong sunshine. D．To make the city have the same weather all year.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“many of them covered by the new domes(圆屋顶)that keep them evenly climatized all year round”可知，城市上空的圆屋顶的目的是保持城市的气候变化不剧烈，比较均匀，所以选B。
7．What will the city be like in the future?
A．No accidents will happen because of heavy traffic. B．The sidewalk can move itself up and down. C．The road is built with the plastic material.
D．The car parks itself on a dome to wait for your return.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句“There hasn't been an accident since the system began.”可知A项错误；由最后一段最后一句“Moving sidewalks and electrams(电车)carry the public from one location to another.”可知B项错误；由最后一段中的“the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return”可知D项错误。从第二段的“driving over the smooth plastic road”可知道路是塑料建造的。故选C项。
8．The third paragraph mainly tells ________. A．you are lucky to sell products of your company B．you receive best wishes from your business partner C．you can do business with a newly invented pencil D．you can do business even on the road in the future
解析：选D 段落大意题。本段讲述了你在路上处理公司业务，从而达成交易的过程。由此可知本段主要是说即使在路上，由于具有先进的技术，你也可以做生意。
