【文章大意】這是一篇科普說(shuō)明文。通過(guò)實(shí)例說(shuō)明機(jī)器人的用途：在與新冠病毒疫情作斗

爭(zhēng)中發(fā)揮作用，能代替人類做一些人類所不能做的工作等，但這不代表機(jī)器人最終能代替人

類。機(jī)器人的確有優(yōu)點(diǎn)，但仍然在人類互動(dòng)上略輸一籌。

1.Whatisthetextmainlyabout?

A.Theadvantagesofrobotscomparedtohumans.

B.DifferentviewstowardapplyingrobotstofightagainstCOVID-19.

C.WhytheCOVID-19outbreakhasfueledrobotdemand.

D.Theimportantrolehumansplayincertainareas.

【解析】選Co主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“這正是為什么新冠疫情爆發(fā)被看作是機(jī)

A.Theycanberepairedwhendamaged.

B.Theytestpeopleforcoronavirusmoreprecisely.

C.Theynevergettiredandcanreplacedoctorsandnurses.

D.Theyarenotvulnerabletothecoronavirus.

【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第-^^4<theynevergetsick.Thislasttraithasmadethem

thestarduringourfightagainsttheC0VID-I9pandemic.“可知，機(jī)器人不會(huì)生病，它們不受新

冠病毒的傷害，所以受到人們的歡迎。故選D。

3.WhatdoesMartinFordthinkoftheapplicationofrobots?

A.Itsbenefitsareappealingandlasting.

B.Machinesarelessdisturbingthanhumans.

C.Itposesathreattohumanemployment.

的勞動(dòng)力能夠證明這對(duì)公司是有回報(bào)的。哪怕是在疫情結(jié)束以后?？芍xA。

A.Thedemandforrobotsistoogreattomeet.

B.Humaninteractionisessentialinsomeareas.

C.Doctorscanmakemoreaccuratejudgmentsthanrobots.

D.Robotsneedupdatingtoimprovecontactwithhumans.

【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知機(jī)器人雖然可以替代人類做一些事情，但僅

限于做一些機(jī)械的工作，比如日常事務(wù)等。而在人類情感交流方面，機(jī)器人卻達(dá)不到要求。這

說(shuō)明人與人之間最重要的超越機(jī)器人的品質(zhì)就是能夠互動(dòng)。因此文章最后一段提到也許機(jī)器

人在某些特定的品質(zhì)上優(yōu)于人類，但它們?cè)谌祟惢?dòng)上仍然略輸一籌。故選B。
