B.thenewmachineismoredifficulttobecontrolled

C.arobotiscontrolledbymanindirectlyD.arobotcan’tbeusedinplacestoodangerousorfaraway【答案与解析】科学家正在开发一种代替人的机器，这种机器能代替人们从事一些危急的工作。1.D。推断题。从第1句话Scientistsaredevelopinganewkindofmachinetotaketheplaceofhumans可以看出，既然是正在开发当中，那确定还未形成。2.C。语义理解题。从第2段中的Themachinecopiestheperson’smovementsexactly可以明显看出为什么选C的缘由。A项有确定的干扰性，但这种机器是人通过电控开关把握的，所以应排解。3.A。推断题。这种机器还在开发当中，而机器人则有几十年历史了，由此可以确定答案应当选A。【北京市西城区2021模拟】BFororAgainst?-ThatIstheQuestionAndyisthemostunreasonableandhemakesmesoangrythatIcouldevenscreamsometimes!Ofcourse,Isort．ofhavetolovehimbecauseheismytwinbrother．AndyandAmy（thatisme）havethesamecurlyhairanddarkeyesandareequallystubborn．et,onmostissuesweusuallytakeoppositepositions．Justthisweekinourschool,therewasaheateddiscussiononwhethertoadoptaschooldresscode．Everystudentwouldberequiredtowearauniform．Theteachersaredivided:Someareinfavoroftheuniformswhileothersareopposed．Theprincipalhasaskedthestudentstoexpresstheiropinionsbyvotingontheissuebeforedecisionsaremade．Butshewillhavethefinalwordonthedresscode．Ithinkadresscodeisagoodidea．Thereasonissimple．ThelessIhavetodecidefirstthinginthemorning,thebetter．Ican'ttellyouhowmanymorningsIlookintomyclosetandjuststare,unabletodecidewhattowear．Andyisshockedatmyopinion．Lastnight,heevendraggedoutmyparents'highschoolphotoalbumstoshowmehowbrillianttheylookedwithoutuniforms!Healsodeclared,"BruceSpringsteenneverworeaschooluniform．BobDylanwouldn'thavebeencaughtdeadinaschooluniform!Besides,whenIamfeelingpolitical,Iwanttobeabletowearclothesmadeofnatural,undyedfibers,sewnorassembledincountriesthatdonotpollutetheenvironmentorexploitchildlabor．IfIhavetowearauniform,Iwon'tfeellikeme!"TothatIreplied,"Soyourpersonalheroesdidn'twearschooluniforms．Buttheywenttohighschoolaboutamillionyearsago!IfeelsorryforyousinceIhadnoideathatyourego（自我）issofragilethatitwouldbecompletelydestroyedbyauniform．"Thatreallymadehimangryandheshouted,"You'rejustcopyingwhatyouhearthatnewmusicteachersayingbecauseyouarecrazyabouthim!"Fortunately,thebellrangbeforewecoulddoeachotherphysicalharm,andwewenttoourseparateclasses．Thevotefororagainstuniformstookplacelaterthatday．Theresultsofthevoteandtheprincipal'sdecisionwillbeannouncednextweek．Iwonderwhatitwillbe．IknowhowIvoted,andI'mprettysureIknowhowAndyvoted．Howwouldyouvote－fororagainst?59．AmyandAndyoftengetangrywitheachotherbecause______． A．they'rebothstubborn B．theylikedifferentteachers C．theyalwaysholddifferentviews D．theydon'tlikeeachotherverymuch60．Amyholdstheideathat______． A．schoolclothingshouldreflectparents'values B．teenagersshouldneverfollowthelatestclothingfashion C．thewayonedressesshouldbeanexpressionofone'spersonality D．wearingschooluniformsmeansonemakeslessdecisioneverymorning61．Whowilldecidewhetherthestudentsshouldwearuniforms?
