冲刺2023年中考英语必考题型终极预测（重庆专用） 专题03 阅读理解20篇 （2022·重庆开州·校考模拟预测）People expect living, breathing fish when they visit an aquarium (海洋馆). So, visitors to a Shanghai aquarium were surprised to see a robot shark instead. CGTN reported the electric-powered “whale shark” showed up in Shanghai in January. Developed by Chinese researchers, the 4.7-meter -long “shark” has mechanical fins (机械鳍). It can swim, turn and dive (潜水) like a real shark. It swims as fast as 0.7 meters per second and can go as deep as 10 meters underwater. Bionic (仿生的) fish like this are not just for pleasing aquarium visitors. They can also be used in other fields. The bionic whale shark, for example, with different sensors (传感器) will check water quality and take photos of underwater animals and plants, CGTN reported. According to iMedia News, military (军事的) uses are also likely. Bionic fish produce almost no noise. They will not be found by people, meaning they can swim around submarines (潜水艇) unnoticed. Compared to anti-submarine aircraft (反潜艇飞机), anti-submarine “fish” are cheaper and can work better. Along with military and research uses, underwater rescue (救援) and archaeology (考古) can also use bionic fish. Smaller robots can swim in and around sunken (沉入水底的) ships, sending all kinds of data (数据) back to people. With a 3D scanner (扫描仪), people may even make models of sunken ships. Maybe most exciting, these fish can swim among real fish. With sensors and cameras, we can learn more about fish behavior, such as schooling—how small fish swim together to avoid being eaten and breeding (繁衍). If robotic fish are good at mixing in, we may also learn what it’s like to get eaten by sharks! 1．What do we know about the robot shark? A．It swims just like a real shark.
