Unit 2　Looking into the future Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking [限时检测] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In the far future，robots live on Earth as humans but the population of humans is smaller than a thousand.This is a story of a repair robot R­62. One day，a car came to the repair factory and a human stepped out of the car. “Wow，a human! I have never seen a real one，” said R­62. “Humans are quite clever.They're able to do any action they want to.They're even able to harm other human beings or organize wars，which they have been doing a lot in the history.Also they don't even have to follow orders if they don't want to，” said another robot T­59 quietly to R­62. “How terrible it is! And almost all robots seem afraid of him and don't look at him directly，” said R­62. The human then sat down and asked if there had been any problems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer，“No，sir.” Then suddenly，R­62 said loudly，“I have one question for you.” The human said，“Yes，” a bit unhappy for not getting “sir”． “Why do human create so many robots？” asked R­62. Silence followed the question and he then said，“I don't need to answer questions from robots！” He then went into his car and drove away quickly. “I really don't understand why humans replaced (取代) themselves with robots，” asked R­62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced (先进的) than humans.They created us to support themselves，” answered T­59. “But there are so few humans on Earth.What they should do is take away the robots or at least make them stop doing the work which humans are supposed to do，” said R­62. “I agree.But we can do nothing about it.And now we have to finish repairing this car，” said T­59. “All right，let's continue.” [语篇解读]　本文属于故事，想象了未来机器人将代替人类生活在地球上，人类的人口数量将不足一千。本文通过人和机器人的对话引出了人类为什么要让机器人做人类应做的事的疑惑。 1．In T­59's opinion，humans are ________． A．stupid　　　　　　　 B．polite C．dangerous D．smart 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段Humans are quite clever.可知，人类是聪明的，故选D。 答案　D 2．According to the text，R­62 ________． A．dared not look at
