16、a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there.“One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robots ability to see the environment，” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for rob
17、otics at Postmates. Since the sidewalk is “a very chaotic environment”，he points out, the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians. For that，it has a number of approaches. One is

22、make shortdistance deliveries in cities.”可知，美国快递公司Postmates已经制造了一款名为“Serve”的机器人，该机器人的设计宗旨是在城市中进行短距离投递。所以Serve被设计用来包裹运输。故选B项。2What is challenging to Serve？ C AMoving objects.BSending silent signals.CSidewalk environment.DPedestrian recognition.解析：细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Serve is intended for sidewalks and Stein
23、feld says that environment is challenging.”可知，Serve 是专为通过人行道而设计的，人行道的环境对于Serve是一个巨大的挑战。故选C项。3What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to？ B ACalling other robots.BSignaling to the people nearby.CMaking way for the pedestrians.DTurning on the colorful light ring.解析：词句猜测题。由第三段“This ro

33、段提到了theobromine是从chocolate里提炼出来的，所以C项错误。故正确答案是D项。6What was used in the experiment to cause coughing？ C ATheobromine.BCodeine.CCapsaicin.DPlacebo.解析：细节理解题。A、B、D三项中的物品是用来做实验的物品。在文章第四段最后一句“The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin (辣椒素), which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign

41、ful keep a healthy lifestyle as well. So its high time that teenage smokers up their minds to give up smoking.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文，介绍了吸烟对年轻学生的危害，不仅会伤害年轻人的健康，而且还会伤害他们的思想，呼吁年轻学生戒烟。解析：1考查不定冠词。句意：吸烟是一个甚至在年轻学生中也广泛传播的习惯。表示抽烟是一个习惯，句中名词habit是单数可数名词，所以要使用不定冠词泛指一个习惯。故要在is后面加a。2考查主谓一致。句意：年轻吸烟者的数量一直在上升。名词短语the number
42、of.意为“的数量”，其后谓语动词应该用单数形式。所以要把are改为is。3考查名词复数形式。句意：一些高中生甚至从他们父母亲那里偷钱买烟。由句中their可知，后面要接可数名词复数形式，这里应该用复数形式parents。所以要把parent改为parents。4考查定语从句。句意：一些高中生甚至从他们父母亲那里偷钱买烟，这真是太糟糕了。我们不能用that引导非限定性定语从句，应该用which指代一句话的内容，引导非限制性定语从句。所以要把that改为which。5考查定语从句。句意同上。本句是一个由as引导的非限定性定语从句，as指代后面的主句，it多余。所以要删除it。6考查固定短语。句意
43、：众所周知，吸烟有害健康。固定搭配be harmful to意为“对有害”。所以要把for改为to。7考查形容词。句意：吸烟对年轻学生更加有害，因为它不仅极大的伤害他们的健康，还伤害了他们的思维。在英语中通常使用形容词做定语修饰名词。所以本句中用形容词形式great修饰限定名词harm。故要把greatly改为great。8考查固定句型。句意：他们应该把时间花在学习有用的知识和保持健康的生活方式上。考查了spend some time (in) doing sth.这一固定句式结构。所有要把learn改为learning。9考查连词。句意：同上。根据句意可知本句表示并列关系，此处用and连接两个并列谓语。所以要把but改为and。10考查虚拟语气。句意：所以是年轻人下定决心戒烟的时候了。该句应该使用虚拟语气，其结构为：It is (high) time that sb. did/should do sth.，所以要把make改为made或在make前加should。
