30、D.A science report.答案D解析推理判断题。文中主要介绍了四款环保型科技产品,故可推知其最有可能来自科技报告。BThree Chilean engineers say they have found a way to prevent determined thieves with what they claim is the worlds first “unstealable bike”.The design,called the Yerka,looks like an average bike,but the bottom tube of the frame can be s
31、plit into two parts and surround a pole.According to its creators,the frame can be taken apart and reconnected to make a lock in just 10 seconds.Once the bikes seat tube forms a lock,the only way to steal the bike would be to cut through it,destroying it in the process.The Yerka is the creation of C
32、ristbal Cabello,22,Andrs Roi Eggers,23 and Juan Jos Monsalve,24.The design was first announced in November 2014,but recently,the team said they had received their first order to produce 300 Yerkas.While an investment of $100,000 from a state enterprise fund helped the project along,they raised most
33、of their funds on crowdfunding site Indiegogo.The start-up sold the first 100 bikes for $400 and then increased the price to $500.In future,it will rise to $600,according to a CNN report.While they call it the worlds first unstealable bike,critics have previously said the lock could be picked or the
34、 bike easily destroyed.Thieves might also be happy simply to get the handlebars or front wheel.But the team say that if they werent working on something as revolutionary as this,they would have their critics.They also add that the wheels have anti-theft nuts(螺母) that can only be opened with a specia

40、esent,robots do not have any sense of touch,” said Professor Gordon Cheng,who developed the special skin.Robots could seriously injure a human being,so employers need to make sure they are aware of their surroundings.To develop the skin,the researchers began by studying humans.Each person has about
41、5 million skin receptors(感受器) that register whats happening on the bodys surface and send signals to the brain.But the brain cant digest information from each one at the same time.Instead,the system used new receptors.So the team covered a human-size autonomous robot(known as H-1) with more than 13,
42、000 sensors from shoulder to toe,which are able to detect temperature,acceleration and pressure.Cheng has already overcome one challenge that has troubled early attempts at creating a robotic sense of touch.Most have relied on computing power to process signals from all the artificial skin cells,whi
43、le his invention only sends signals when individual cells are touched.This means the system acts just like the human nervous system.For instance,we feel gloves when we first put them on,but eventually our bodies learn to ignore them.These could enable robots to sense their surroundings quickly,and g
44、ive them the ability to interact with humans and avoid accidents.“Technology like this could open opportunities where robots could work much more closely with humans,such as caregiving professions,”Cheng added.“They could help someone get out of bed,or help them around the house.” However,these tech
45、nologies are still a long way from actual application in the field,which will surely put the safety of humans first.29.What worried manufacturers when they use industrial robots?A.The robots cannot work closely with humans.B.The robots do not have any sense of humour.C.The robots may hurt humans for
46、 lack of touch.D.The robots are well aware of the surroundings.答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Robotscouldseriouslyinjureahumanbeing”可以得知由于没有触觉因此机器人可能伤着其他一起工作的人类同事。30.How did the scientists develop the H-1?A.They sent signals directly to their brains.B.They put the human skin over the H-1.C.They made it digest
47、 information quickly.D.They covered the robots with receptions.答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“theteamcoveredahuman-sizeautonomousrobot(knownasH-1)withmorethan13,000sensor”可以得知研究团队在机器人身上布满感受器,这是他们改进机器人的方式。31.What is the advantage of Chengs new robot?A.It can process all artificial signals.B.It just deals with
48、necessary signals.C.It puts the gloves over the robots.D.It has the human nervous system.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“whilehisinventiononlysendssignalswhenindividualcellsaretouched”可以推知只有在被人体细胞触碰的时候机器人才会处理相关信息,也就是机器人只处理必要信息。DA 1.6-meter tall robot may soon become the best friend for lonely elderly people,as C
49、hinese scientists are making the final sprint (冲刺)toward its market launch(投放),said a senior researcher on the robot project on Saturday.“We are working on testing the exact functions and ways to reduce the cost in preparations for an expected market launch of the robot in two to three years,” said
50、Li Ruifeng,a member of the project.He said the team hoped to reduce the cost so that the robot can be priced at 30,000 to 50,000 yuan,which is expected to be an affordable price for most of Chinas better-off families.The robot has been developed with the functions of fetching food,medicine,sounding
51、alarms in case of water or gas leakage,sending texts or video images via wireless communications,and even singing a song or playing chess to entertain its masters.Li said that the robot,developed independently in China,has technology at the same level as those in western labs.China set about the res
52、earch of the robot in 2007,when it was listed as a national key project.It is backed by government funding(拨款).China has the worlds largest elderly population with 159 million people over 60,accounting for 12 percent of its total population.According to a survey by the Ministry of Civil Affairs,more
