德阳市2019高考英语二轮短文类训练（8） 及答案或解析 ‎ Just put on your special clothes in the morning and you could jump 3 meters into the air and even carry more than 60 kilograms without getting tired. The walk to school would be very, very easy. Such sophisticated clothing is one of the products that could be created using "wearable robotics"technology.‎ ‎ Designed to improve a person's senses and skills, the device (装置) could be as simple as a hearing aid. Or it could be a full-body suit that senses what you're going to do, then helps you do it better.‎ ‎ Robot legs help a man carry a heavy load.‎ ‎ "A Superman suit would be the final result in wearable robotics, "said Francois Pin, head of robotics and energy systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (橡树岭国有验室), US. While these suits are at least ten years away, in some are- as the technology is already in use.‎ ‎ Researchers are developing artificial arms and legs that allow old, disabled or injured people to move freely.‎ ‎ A robot is a device that responds to a command. You've probably played with simple robots, such as toy cars or airplanes that respond to buttons you push on a remote control (遥控).‎ ‎ Wearable robotics goes further. Instead of just receiving information through a wire or remote control, the robotic de- vice can send information back to its controller.‎ ‎ Suppose you wore a sleeve (袖子) that has sensors where your joints (关节) are. Every time you move your arm, the sleeve senses your movements and sends the information to a robot, which then moves its arm just as you did. When the robot hits or touches something, it sends a signal back to the sleeve and you sense the action. ‎ In this way, scientists are working to wrap the robot around the person. Their goal is to make the sleeve, shoe or suit help you do what you want to do. ‎ ‎1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "so phisticated"in Paragraph I?‎ ‎ A. Expensive B. Super-new ‎ C. Advanced D. Full of electricity ‎ 答案：C 指导：词义猜测题。文章字里行间都表明这种衣服非常超前。‎ ‎2. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Remote Controls B. Hearing Aids ‎ C. Robot Legs D. Supersuits ‎ 答案：D 指导：主旨大意题，整篇短文讲述的是supermanSuits问题。‎ ‎3. Which of the following statements shows the difference between robots and wearable robotics?‎ ‎ A. Toy cars or planes can respond to buttons you push on a remote control.‎ ‎ B. Robots can receive information through a wire.‎ ‎ C. Some day supercharged clothes will be able to wrap around your body.‎ ‎ D. Some day your robot-powered shoes will be able to report back as well as you give them orders. ‎ 答案：D 指导：推断题。C选项没说出区别，从倒数第三段及全文可推断出D项正确。‎ ‎4. From the passage, we can infer thatv_________.‎ ‎ A. it will be 10 years before robotic devices are in use ‎ B. the wearable robotics technology is quite mature in some areas ‎ C. the robots in the robotic devices will do whatever you want to do ‎ D. people must become lazier and less healthy in the future ‎ 答案：B 指导：细节题。由第四段最后一句可知。‎ ‎************************************************************结束 Passage ****‎ When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship.
