Passage Four

One evening Mr. Green was driving home along a lonely country road. He had ￡ 100.00 in his pock et. At the loneliest part of the road, a man asked for a lift (搭车). Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued his driving. When he talked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried.

Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit (限制速度) was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast as it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase (追) him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green's car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Green's name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, "No, you will have to appear at the police station later." Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.

Just as he reached the outskirts (郊区) of London, the passenger said, "! want to get off here." Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, "Thanks for the lift. You've been good to me. This is the least I can do in return (报答)." And he handed Mr. Green the policeman's notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.

46. The man asking for a lift was ______.

A. a robber who robs drivers

B. a policeman who had worked in prison

C. a prisoner who had escaped from prison

D. a stranger with ￡ 100.00 in his pocket

正确答案：C
本题是对有关人物细节信息的考查。其中关键词是man．．．lift．．．was。首先，考生从选项中得知需判断搭车人的身份。通过第1段倒数第2句中的．．．the man．．．in prison for robbery．．．broken out of prison two days before了解到此人曾因抢劫而入狱，但又于两天前越狱逃走。 A、B、D项都与文中内容不符，应被排除。唯有C项(越狱的犯人)合乎文中情节，是正确答案。

题干意为“乔赛特在高中时开始制造机器人。”关键词是high school。依据此关键词，可在文中第二段找到相关叙述：”When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved...Later,in high school,he built mobile robots similar to small cars.”（当乔赛特还是个孩子的时候就对一切会动的东西感兴趣……之后，在高中期间，他制造了与小汽车相似的移动机器人。）由此可知，乔赛特是从高中开始制造机器人的，故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“蛇形机器人只能朝四个方向移动。”关健词组是only four directions。依据此关键词组，可在文中第三段第三、四句找到相关叙述：”Some robots can move only forward,backward,left and right.But snakes can twist in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain. ”（有些机器人只能向前后左右四个方向移动，但是蛇形机器人可以朝很多方向弯曲，并且能越过不同类型的地形。）由此可知，蛇形机器人并不仅仅能朝四个方向移动，故此题说法为“错误”的。
题干意为“乔赛特直到在卡耐基梅隆工作时才开始研制自己的蛇形机器人。”关键词是Carnegie Mellon。依据此关键词，可在文中第四段第一句找到相关叙述：“ After he started working at Carnegie Mellon,Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robots.”（在卡耐基梅隆开始工作之后，乔赛特和同事们开始研制蛇形机器人。）故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“与别人研发的蛇形机器人相比，乔赛特的蛇形机器人能做更多的动作。”关键词是movements。依据此关健词，可在文中第四段第二、三、四句找到相关叙述： ”Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes,such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't,such as rolling. Choset's snake robots could crawl through the grass,swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.”（乔赛特团队设计的程序可以让机器人做出与真蛇一样的动作，比如滑行和向前缓慢移动。这些机器人还能做出通常情况下蛇无法做出的动作，比如旋转。乔赛特的蛇形机器人可以在草丛中爬行，在池塘里游泳，甚至还能爬旗杆。）由此可知，与那些可以朝很多方向运动，能在多种地形中前行的机器人相比，乔赛特的蛇形机器人能做出更多的动作。故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“细小的蛇形机器人的应用可以使心脏手术用时减少。”关键词是 heart surgeries。依据此关键词组，可在文中第五段第二、三、四句找到相关叙述：”For some heart surgeries,the doctor has to open a patient's chest,cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?”（对于某些心脏手术，医生需要透过胸骨为病人开胸。这样的手术恢复起来非常痛苦。如果医生做这样的手术时只是开一个小洞然后把一个细小的蛇形机器人送入身体会怎么样呢？）这里说原来的某些心脏手术比较复杂，且恢复起来会很痛苦，但是并没有提到时间的问题，故此说法为“未提及”的。
题干意为“将机器人在猪身上测试之后，赞纳提将其在人身上进行了测试。” 关键词是Zenati和pigs。依据关键词。可在文中第六段第二句找到相关叙述：”Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and then tested the robot in pigs.”（赞纳提在一个塑料的胸部模型上练习使用机器人，然后又在猪身上测试机器人。）由此可知，赞纳提确实在猪身上测试过机器人，但之后他有没有在人身上测试文中并没有提到，故此说法为“未提及”的。

While traveling abroad(在国外), Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. "Send the money by telegram," he wrote, "to the Fisher Bank in P…" After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport(护照). "Nothing has come for you," he was told. This went on for two weeks, and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him.

In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for sixty days. When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The Clerk(职员)he spoke to was a new man. "Have you received $500 for me?" he asked, "My name is Jackson Frank." The clerk checked his books. "Yes, Mr. Jackson, it's here. It came by telegram - let me see - oh, more than two months ago.

"We wondered where you were." He showed Mr. Frank the order. The order(汇单)read: "Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500 …"

"But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson."

"Oh, that's all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter 'J', but it's your money."

The clerk laughed. "A human mistake, sir! We're all human beings, aren't we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me."

But snakes can twist（扭曲）in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain（地形）.“Snakes are far more interesting than the cars,”Choset concluded.
After he started working at Carnegie Mellon,Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robots.Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes,such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't, such as rolling. Choset's snake robots could crawl（爬行） through the grass,swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.
But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries,the doctor has to open a patient's chest,cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?
Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati,a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School,to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and then tested the robot in pigs.
A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people.
Even after 15 years of working with his team's creations,”I still don't get bored of watching the motion of my robots,”Choset says.

Choset's snake robots could make more movements than the ones others developed.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned

答案：A

解析：

题干意为“乔赛特在高中时开始制造机器人。”关键词是high school。依据此关键词，可在文中第二段找到相关叙述：”When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved...Later,in high school,he built mobile robots similar to small cars.”（当乔赛特还是个孩子的时候就对一切会动的东西感兴趣……之后，在高中期间，他制造了与小汽车相似的移动机器人。）由此可知，乔赛特是从高中开始制造机器人的，故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“蛇形机器人只能朝四个方向移动。”关健词组是only four directions。依据此关键词组，可在文中第三段第三、四句找到相关叙述：”Some robots can move only forward,backward,left and right.But snakes can twist in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain. ”（有些机器人只能向前后左右四个方向移动，但是蛇形机器人可以朝很多方向弯曲，并且能越过不同类型的地形。）由此可知，蛇形机器人并不仅仅能朝四个方向移动，故此题说法为“错误”的。
题干意为“乔赛特直到在卡耐基梅隆工作时才开始研制自己的蛇形机器人。”关键词是Carnegie Mellon。依据此关键词，可在文中第四段第一句找到相关叙述：“ After he started working at Carnegie Mellon,Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robots.”（在卡耐基梅隆开始工作之后，乔赛特和同事们开始研制蛇形机器人。）故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“与别人研发的蛇形机器人相比，乔赛特的蛇形机器人能做更多的动作。”关键词是movements。依据此关健词，可在文中第四段第二、三、四句找到相关叙述： ”Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes,such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't,such as rolling. Choset's snake robots could crawl through the grass,swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.”（乔赛特团队设计的程序可以让机器人做出与真蛇一样的动作，比如滑行和向前缓慢移动。这些机器人还能做出通常情况下蛇无法做出的动作，比如旋转。乔赛特的蛇形机器人可以在草丛中爬行，在池塘里游泳，甚至还能爬旗杆。）由此可知，与那些可以朝很多方向运动，能在多种地形中前行的机器人相比，乔赛特的蛇形机器人能做出更多的动作。故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“细小的蛇形机器人的应用可以使心脏手术用时减少。”关键词是 heart surgeries。依据此关键词组，可在文中第五段第二、三、四句找到相关叙述：”For some heart surgeries,the doctor has to open a patient's chest,cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?”（对于某些心脏手术，医生需要透过胸骨为病人开胸。这样的手术恢复起来非常痛苦。如果医生做这样的手术时只是开一个小洞然后把一个细小的蛇形机器人送入身体会怎么样呢？）这里说原来的某些心脏手术比较复杂，且恢复起来会很痛苦，但是并没有提到时间的问题，故此说法为“未提及”的。
题干意为“将机器人在猪身上测试之后，赞纳提将其在人身上进行了测试。” 关键词是Zenati和pigs。依据关键词。可在文中第六段第二句找到相关叙述：”Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and then tested the robot in pigs.”（赞纳提在一个塑料的胸部模型上练习使用机器人，然后又在猪身上测试机器人。）由此可知，赞纳提确实在猪身上测试过机器人，但之后他有没有在人身上测试文中并没有提到，故此说法为“未提及”的。
题干意为“用于人体手术的机器人技术已经为Medrobotics带来了丰厚的利润。”关键词是Medrobotics。依据此关键词，可在文中第七段找到相关叙述：” A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology for surgeries on people.”（在波士顿，一家名为Medrobotics的公司现在已经将这项技术用于人体手术。）文中并没有提及这项技术给这家公司带来多少利润，故此说法为“未提及”的。

Wide World of Robots
Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobs. These researchers tinker （修补）with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices.
“They're the best toys out there,” says Howie Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist,a person who designs,builds or programs robots.
When Choset was a kid,he was interested in anything that moved一cars,trains,animals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later,in high school,he built mobile robots similar to small cars.
Hoping to continue working on robots,he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena,Choset's lab- mates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars:robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward,backward,left and right. But snakes can twist（扭曲）in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain（地形）.“Snakes are far more interesting than the cars,”Choset concluded.

D Once upon a time a pair of crows (乌鸦) were continually upset by a cobra．Every year the snake crawled into their nest to eat the young crows before they learned to fly．They asked their clever friend, the jackal (豺) for help, what to do．
“Do not despair (绝望),” he told them．“ We cannot stop the cobra by force, as we are not strong enough．We will have to use craft (计谋) to destroy that greedy (贪婪的) beast, just do what I tell you and you will be safe．”
The male crow flew obediently (驯从) off to the river where a princess (公主) was bathing, guarded by all her servants．He snatched up the most beautiful necklace left on the shore and flew away just out of reach of the angry servants．Once they were running straight for the cobra’s home, he dashed a head and settled at the window pretending to be lost．
The cobra attacked at once．“Stupid crow,” he thought．“He only just manage to escape, but dropped this valuable necklace in his haste．What will his wife say Now I will be the most magnificent cobra in the world．” However, no sooner had he put it on than the servants appeared and killed him to take the precious thing back．
That year, the crow’s family grew up healthy and safe．
