七、阅读理解

Passage 1

   Robot. It is a word that seems very modern. A word that creates a strong mental picture. A picture of something that looks and acts like a human. Robots are not human, of course. They are machines.

   The word robot, and robots themselves, are less than 100 years old.But humans have been dreaming of real and imaginary (想象中的)copies of themselves for thousands of years. Early people made little human statues (塑像) out of clay (粘土). And they cut wood and stone to look like humans.

    What is the future of robots? The goal of scielltists is to create a true human-like robot. Some expeyts have described this robot of the future as one that can act independently with the physical world through its own senses and actions. Humans have the ability to see, hear, speak and solve problems. Engineers have built robots that have one or two of these abilities. But it takes a number of big expensive computers to make the robots work.

    The biggest problem in creating a human-like robot is copying humanintelligence. The way the human mind works is almost impossible to copy. A simple computer can do mathematical problems far beyond the ability of even the smartest human mind. But the human mind is better
than a thousand supercomputers at speaking, hearing and
problem-solving. Several American and Japanese companies are working
to develop the senses of sight and touch for robots. The development of
these senses will make robots much more useful.

    However, the most important human ability -- the most difficult to
copy -- is problem-solving. An intelligent robot must be able to change
the way it acts when it faces an unexpected situation. Humans do it all
the time. Comparers must do it for robots. This means computers must
have a huge base of information about many things. They must be able to
find quickly the needed information in their systems. And they must
make choices about how to act. So far, this is beyond the ability of
computers.

1.According to the passage, however intelligent a tobot may be, it__

2.Which of the following conclusion is best supported by the second paragraph?

3.From the third paragraph,we can know that___

4.According to the passage,why human intelligence has not been copied in the making of a robot?

5.Inorder to enable the intelligent robot to deal with an unexpected situation, the computers in it must do the following things except__

Passage 2

   Before a liquid changes into a gas, it must be heated. We see this
happening when a kettle boils on a fire. Before a gas can change into a
liquid, it must lose heat. This is the principle on which a refrigerator
works.

   All refrigerators must, therefore, contain a liquid refrigerant, which
can turn easily into a gas and back again into a liquid. A refrigerator
stores food, and so it is much better if the liquid is clean and safe and has no strong smell. For this reason, most refrigerants are chemicals which contain the gas fluorine. They have all the necessary qualities.

   At the bottom of a refrigerator there is an electric pump. This pump
forces the liquid through a pipe to the top of the refrigerator. Here the
pipe branches out into many channels and becomes a gas. But in order to
change into gas, it must be heated; and so it takes heat from the freezer.
So the freezer becomes the coldest part of the refrigerator, where water
turns into ice and food is frozen.

   Any warm air in the refrigerator rises towards the freezer and helps
to change the liquid refrigerant into gas. The gas flows round to the
bottom again, where the pump compresses it. When this gas is
compressed, it loses heat; and turning back into a liquid. The heat escapes from the refrigerator into the air outside. The liquid refrigerant now starts its journey again and soon reaches the freezer. There, it draws in more heat and again becomes a gas. And so the process goes on and on.

6.Why is refrigerator cold inside?

7.How can a gas be given a liquid form?

8.What is the most necessaty quality of a good refrigerant?

9.How does the refrigerant become a gas?

10.What is the use of electric pump in the refrigerator?
