18、欧洲研究团队发明了一个能够通过姿势表达情感的机器人Nao，让机器人能更舒服更自然的交往，表达感情是非常重要的。Nao拥有一岁小孩表达情感的能力，同时Nao也被设置了不同的特性，一个更独立的机器人能够更好的完成各种任务。最后，Canamero的团队希望能将这种情感程序运用在医学APP上，能够帮助小孩在看医生时，缓解他们的焦虑。1细节理解题。文中第一段第二句提到“When Nao is sad, he lowers his head and looks down. When hes happy, he raises his arms for a hug.”当Nao生气时，他会低下头，当他开心时，他

19、会伸出手要求抱抱，说明Nao能在不同的情况下表达不同的情绪。故选A。2.细节理解题。文中第一句提到“Nao, the first robot able to show feelings” Nao是第一个能表达情感的机器人。同时，第二段最后一句“The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.”科学家认为情感是通过姿势和手势表达的而不是语言或面部表情，说明Nao是没有语言功能的，故A项错误。第四段最后一句提到“The

20、actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but Nao decides for itself when to display them.”Nao的每种情感对应的动作是预先编程好的，但什么时候显示是Nao自己决定的，而不是显示的时间也是预先编程好的，故B项错误。第六段第一句提到“Canameros team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications.” Canamero的团队将要在医学APP上运用情感程序，will take是一般将来时

21、，表示将要发生还未发生的事情，故C项错误。第六段第三句提到“Children might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.”如果小孩有一个小小的、可爱的又能够理解他们情感状态的机器人陪着的话，他们可能就不会那么焦虑了，D项与文章意思符合，故选D。3.词义猜测题。A. Courage勇气，B. Anxiety焦虑；担心，C. Anger生气，D. Satisfaction满意。文中第五段提到一个独立的机器人在搜索

22、一个空间时很少寻求帮助，是独立完成任务的。句中while“然而”是一个转折连词，连接两个句意相反的句子，由此可以判断，一个胆怯的机器人在处理一个空间内的有害东西时可能会不知所措。故选B。4.主旨大意题。根据文章内容，仅在最后一段提到了机器人将会被运用在医学APP上来缓解小孩焦虑的情况，A项不全面，故A项错误。文章第二段提到了在未来机器人能从事的一些工作，B项较片面，故B项错误。文章中无明显的关于时间、时长方面的词汇，因此无法说明机器人的历史，故D项错误。文章第一段就提到了情感机器人Nao，且文章中的内容都是围绕情感机器人的特性，将来会运用到的场景展开的，C项正确。故选C。BA year bac
