Unit 7　单元阅读专练 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Day 1 Li Xiuping, a performer of the Chinese puppet (木偶) show, is making a “puppet robot” these years. She hopes to use intelligent technologies to let more people learn about Chinese puppets. For the past five years, Li and her husband (丈夫) have been studying intelligent technologies. They try to make the “puppet robot” more portable. To reduce the weight (减少重量) of the puppet, they used 3D­printing technology to make the heads of puppets. A robotic chip is implanted (芯片被植入) into the body of the puppet, making it possible to perform. And the look of the robotic puppet is the same as the look of the traditional (传统的) one. “It's not difficult to learn how to perform using a ‘puppet robot’. A beginner can learn to use it well in only a day，” Li said. “Many people have never watched the puppet show and some just watched it on TV. I hope more people can get to know about this traditional performance with the help of ‘puppet robots’．” Li hopes puppet shows will be as popular as movies, and such performances will be brought into schools and villages in the future. (　)1.Li and her husband may start to study intelligent technologies in ________. A．2005 B．2007 C．2014 D．2017 (　)2.What does the underlined word “portable” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?
