1、课 时 作 业32.阅读理解(陕西省榆林市第一中学高三检测)Robots come in many shapes and sizes, but scientists in Zurich, Switzerland, have developed one new robot called Pleurobot, which looks and acts just like a salamander (火蜥蜴)To create the robot, scientists took hundreds of Xrays of real salamanders. They studied the imag
2、es of these animals to see which joints (关节) and muscles the animals use as they move. Then the scientists built the Pleurobots skeleton to move just like the real thing. This makes the robots movements incredibly lifelike.According to experts, salamanders were among the first animals to develop a s
3、keleton and nervous system that allowed them to travel on land. “By studying the modern salamander, we have a time window to the ancestors of all vertebrates(脊椎动物), including humans,” Auke Ijspeert, the designer of the robot, told scholastic News Online.Both people and salamanders have a spinal cord
4、 (脊髓). An injury to the spinal cord can result in the inability to move. Now, there is no cure for paralysis (瘫痪). Ijspeert hopes that the Pleurobot can help change that. Because these studies could help researchers develop new ways to help people who have been paralyzed by spinal cord injuries.Scie
5、ntists think that the Pleurobot could also be used for searchandrescue tasks too dangerous for humans. Because the robot is low to the ground and has a wide range of motion, it could be used to get into dangerous places, like fallen buildings, to look for survivors. Thanks to its waterproof suit, th
6、e robotic salamander could even participate in underwater missions.Experts are now working on a smaller, sturdier (harder to break) model of the Pleurobot. They expect this one to be even better suited for getting into small spaces to do dangerous work.这篇文章主要讲了瑞士的科学家发明了一款新的机器人,这款机器人看起来有些像火蜥蜴。1What i
