Scientists in Italy,however,,think they may have a robotic solution-a seed-inspired(受种子启发的) robot.Scientists at the Bioinspired Soft Robotics (BSR)Lab have developed the first 4D-printed seed-inspired soft robot,which can act as sensors for monitoring pollutants,CO2 levels,temperature and humidity(湿度)in soil.. They were inspired by a South African geranium (a garden plant).The seeds of the plant have the ability to change shape in response to how humid their environment is.When the time comes for the seeds to leave the plant,they can separate themselves from the plant and move independently to find their way through soil.The curly seeds can find a home for themselves simply by becoming bigger or smaller depending on the water content in the air.The team imitated the seeds and developed robots that use materials that also change shape when exposed (to humidity. When tested in a soil sample,the robot was able to rock from side to side,adapt its shape to the space,and get into holes in the ground like a natural seed.Not to mention,it was capable of lifting things about 100 times its own weight.First author Luca Cecchini said that the robot is easy to break down and causes no harm to the soil.It could be used as a wireless,battery-free tool for surface soil exploration and monitoring. 28.What can be learned about soil from paragraph 1? A.It is at risk. B.It can be easily polluted. C.It is seldom studied by scientists. D.It is partly responsible for climate problems. 29.What is the scientists'purpose of inventing the robot? A.To deal with climate change. B.To improve farming efficiency. C.To monitor the condition of soil. D.To test the 4D-printing technology. 30.What is the basic design feature of the seed-inspired robot? A.Controlling the soil temperature. B.Changing the shape of plant seeds. C.Carrying the seeds to the right place. D.Adapting to humidity changes in soil. 试卷共8页第4页 31.What did Luca Cecchini say about the robot? A.It is highly affordable B.It is environment-friendly C.It doesn't perform well in the field. D.It works well under extreme conditions.
