A.in B.than C.pose A. goals that【T1】______ a real challenge B. far greater precision【T2】______ highly skilled physicians C. That compulsion has resulted【T3】______ robotics Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty.【T4】______—the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close. As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimetre accuracy—【T5】______ can achieve with their hands alone. But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves—【T6】______ . "While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error," says Dave La very, manager of a robotics program at NASA, "we can't yet give a robot enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world."
单选题 【T1】
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:本题主要考查固定搭配。“pose a real challenge”为固定搭配,是“构成真正的挑战”的意思,符合题意。所以,答案是pose。
单选题 【T2】
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:根据前面的far greater结合选项可知,than符合题意。所以,答案是than。
单选题 【T3】
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:本题主要考查固定搭配。“result in”为固定搭配,是“导致”的意思,符合题意。所以,答案是in。
单选题 【T4】
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:空格前一句的意思为:从人类最初有了智慧至今,人们一直在设计日益巧妙的工具来处理那些危险的、枯燥的、繁重的或者只是一般的肮脏的工作。空格后一句的意思为:如果科学家还想设计出机械版的科幻小说,那他们已经开始接近这个目标了。故空格所在句的意思应为:这样一种需求导致了机器人技术的产生——赋予机器各种人的能力的科学。所以,C项符合题意。
单选题 【T5】
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:根据语境可知,空格所在句的意思为:由于电子器材的不断微型化以及微机械制造学的不断发展,已经出现了能够以亚毫米的精确度实施某些脑部和骨科手术的机器人系统——这种精确度远远超过技术相当娴熟的医生只凭双手所能达到的精确度。所以,B项符合题意。
单选题 【T6】
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:根据语境可知,空格所在句的意思为:但如果机器人要延伸到下个省劳力的阶段,那它们必须能够在更少的人的监控下运行,并至少能够独立地做一些决定——那是真正具有挑战性的目标。所以,A项符合题意。
