(2018·南昌一模)Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material: But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot — one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼)．

Described in science journal Nature, the “ Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search, rescue and exploration.

“The Octobot is a minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots，” the study's authors wrote.

Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrain (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren't especially safe around humans, because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.

So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They've taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.

But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.

“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-and-rescue operations and exploration，” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology's Center for Micro-Bio Robotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and the quality of life.”

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇科普说明文。美国哈佛大学的科学家受到章鱼的启发，制造了软体机器人；这种机器人可以用于搜救、探险等行业，比常规机器人更安全；虽然对软体机器人的开发和研究尚处在早期阶段，但是未来这种机器人将更有助于改善人体的健康状况、提高生活水平。

4．What's the special feature of “Octobot” ? A．It's soft. C．It's very small.

B．It's made of metal. D．It looks like an octopus.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的最后一句中的“The Octobot is a minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots” 可知，“Octobot”是一种可以用作软体机器人基础部件的微型系统；据此可知，“Octobot”的特点是柔软，故A项正确。

答案：A

5．What's the disadvantage of traditional robots? A．They're hard to control. B．They're too heavy to move. C．They can't predict conditions. D．They can't behave well all the time.

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，传统机器人无法在崎岖的地形上很好地运行，此外，由于沉重的金属部件，传统机器人可能会对人体产生伤害；据此可知，传统机器人并非总能很好地运行，故D项正确。

答案：D

6.One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's________. A．silicone body B．complex components C．precise movements D．flexible power source

解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的第二句“Even if engineers build a silicone(硅酮)body, it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.”可知，即使工程师利用硅酮制造出了软体机器人的身体，但是制作柔韧性强的关键部件仍然面临巨大的挑战，比如动力来源。据此可知，制造软体机器人最大的挑战之一是柔韧性强的动力来源，故D项正确。

答案：D

7．What's the possible application of “Octobot” ? A．Medical research. C．Machine operation.

B．Life rescue. D．House cleaning.

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-and-rescue operations and exploration”可知，尽管对软体机器人的开发和研究还处于早期阶段，但它适用于诸如搜索救援和探索等任务， 故B项正确。

答案：B

C

You'll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things—and many more—without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it's long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?

Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard，a mouse，or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors
