34、r in Robocop ! ATRU (Advanced Tactical Robotic Unit) is the next weapon in the war on crime. Now in development by a team of robot specialists, ATRU is a 1000-pound fighting machine that can zero in on bad guys and wipe them out without sacrificing innocent lives. “ARTU is an efficient and effective

35、 tool against crime,” said one of the robot policemans developers. “We still have some finishing touches to do, but within a few months, we plan to approach the Los Angeles Police Department about adding him to the police force.” The Los Angeles Police Department already has several robots, includin

36、g one used for seeking out objects or criminals and one that can be programmed for tasks such as lifting dangerous objects, firing a water cannon(大炮)or exploding a bomb. ARTUs creators say their robot combines the separate capabilities of all those machines into one single, powerful unit that does i

37、t all. Better still, ARTU can make its way into confined spaces, unlike the present ones used. He stands eight-feet tall when fully extended with fully flexible arms and legs, rather than being a square, tank-like vehicle with limited mobility. ARTU can also carry out many other police duties beside

38、s the ones mentioned. “Hes an all-purpose crime fighter,” says one team member. “He can handle terrorist situations, explosive devices, armed robberies, security in large crowds and even missing-person searches in disaster situations.”ARTU is also fitted with a body heat sensor that enables it to de

39、tect criminals in hiding, or victims trapped in fallen buildings. The robot carries a fully automatic weapon that he can fire with 100 percent accuracy. If that is not enough to scare suspects off, ARTUs specially programmed brain also allows him to a hostile (敌意的，危险的)action in milliseconds. “The re

40、al beauty of that”, says a team member, “is that we dont have to worry about the ARTU making a mistake and shooting unarmed people who look like they are raising a gun. He can make the kind of split second decisions human police officers fear because there is often so much room for error.” Currently

41、, ARTU is being fine tuned to make him quieter and faster. “But those are minor points, really,” says a team member. “We expect to be finished by the end of the year and by that time, we will have an all round robotic police officer, ARTU and his “mates” will be in demand from police agencies around

42、 the world.” 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE about ARTU talked about in the passage?A. It is a human police officer who fights against crimes.B. It is a machine in development intended for police duties.C. It is robot already used by Los Angeles Police Department.D. It is an efficient t

43、ool which appeared in a well known movie.2. From the passage we may draw the following conclusions EXCEPT that _A.ARTU is being perfected at the moment.B.ARTU can be of great use in life searching after earthquakes.C. The writer of this passage is sure about the popularity of ARTUD.ARTU will take th

44、e place of the police force to fight against crimes 3. According to the third paragraph, we know that _A.ARTU is superior to human police officers in making great decisions B.ARTU will fire once it senses armed people with 100 percent accuracy C .It is likely that human police will misjudge whether

45、a person has weapon D. With a body heat sensor, ARTU can tell whether someone is a potential criminal 4. What might be the best title for this passage?A.
