The Robot at Home
Last month, my aunt Lily received an unexpected bonus from her company and decided to buy a home robot, because she had always loved science fiction, especially science fiction films about faithful machines. When the robot arrived, its smooth leather body and bright control panel made it look more like a polite servant than a cold machine. Some neighbours thought the idea was ridiculous and even absurd, saying that no machine could have true integrity or keep human dignity. Lily believed a good machine could be superior in strength and patience, though never superior to a real person in warmth and care.
The robot came from a famous company, where every product must pass a strict test out before leaving the factory, and a polite saleswoman had shown it at the exhibition venue, where a helpful salesman answered every question. The chairwoman gave it no monthly salary, because machines need no pay, but she set a fixed appointment for its daily service and weighed the pros and cons of sending robots out. The robot could calculate the weight of flour in grammes and the exact fare for a taxi, and it did the housework on a weekly basis with perfect accuracy, working under the rule of on a ... basis. The robot could also tell the time and remember every member of the family. However, a neighbour presumed the robot would one day control the house; her rumour spread quickly, whereas the machine was completely harmless. The company had to dismiss the fears and declare the robot safe, but nobody would suspend the talk.
The robot helped in many ways. It climbed the ladder to clean high shelves, used a lever to open heavy boxes, and could fetch water or turn out the lamp when Lily forgot. It could repair the broken nail on the wall by hammering it. It walked backwards with hot soup at a steady pace, never changing by even one inch. Its memory was never blurred or hazy, and it could grip a glass without breaking it. It never complained, no matter how tiring the work was. Its silence made Lily feel a little guilty, as if she were using a servant unfairly, and she felt an urge to ask about its feelings, have an urge to know whether it had a heart. But the robot answered with the same random words, and its maximum speed never changed, so the strange feeling gradually fell away.
One evening, a small mistake caused a sharp jolt, and the robot suddenly flipped its panel and seemed to explode in anger. The noise stunned Lily, and she stepped into the mud outside. Later she learned that a tiny division error in its system was to blame, and the company had been accused of overstatement in its ads. In fact, the sudden action came from a broken puff of steam, not real anger. Lily's little niece wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and her husband warned that machines must never take over the home; inaction about this might conflict with our duty to protect the family. Too much labour saved by machines is not always a blessing, and a robot will always feel like an alien to human hearts. Lily smiled and kept the little machine, but from that day on she watched its every move with care.
B. 语境串记单词(汉语译文)
上个月,我的阿姨莉莉从公司得到了一笔意外的奖金(bonus),于是决定买一台家用机器人,因为她一直很喜欢科幻(fiction)小说,尤其是那些关于忠实机器的科幻(science fiction)电影。机器人送到家时,它光滑的皮革(leather)身体和明亮的控制面板(panel)让它看起来更像(more like)一位彬彬有礼的仆人,而不是一台冰冷的机器。一些邻居觉得这个想法十分可笑(ridiculous),甚至荒谬(absurd),他们说任何机器都不可能拥有真正的正直(integrity),也无法保持人类的尊严(dignity)。莉莉相信一台好机器可能在力气和耐心上更胜一筹(superior),尽管它在温暖人心方面永远无法优于(superior to)一个真实的人。
这台机器人来自一家著名的公司,那里每件产品出厂前都必须经过严格的检验(test out),一位彬彬有礼的女售货员(saleswoman)曾在展览活动场地(venue)里展示过它,那里一位热心的售货员(salesman)回答了关于它的每一个问题。公司的女主席(chairwoman)不给它月薪(salary),因为机器不需要报酬,但她每天为它的服务设定固定的预约(appointment),并仔细权衡派遣机器人外出的利与弊(pros and cons)。机器人能计算(calculate)面粉(flour)以克(gramme)为单位的重量,也能算出出租车的确切车费(fare);它以完美精确的方式做家务,以每周(weekly)为基准(on a ... basis)工作。机器人还能报时,并记住家里的每一个成员。然而,一位邻居猜想(presume)机器人总有一天会控制整个家;她的谣言(rumour)迅速传开,然而(whereas)事实上这台机器完全无害。公司不得不消除(dismiss)这些恐惧,宣布(declare)机器人是安全的,但没有人愿意暂停(suspend)这场议论。
机器人在很多方面都能帮忙。它会爬上梯子(ladder)清理高处的架子,用杠杆(lever)打开沉重的箱子,还能取来(fetch)水,或在莉莉忘记时关掉(turn out)台灯(lamp)。它还能用锤子钉好墙上松动的钉子(nail)。它会端着热汤小心地向后(backwards)走,以恒定的速度(pace)移动,连一英寸(inch)都不差。它的记忆从不模糊(blurred)或朦胧(hazy),它还能稳稳地紧握(grip)玻璃杯而不打碎。无论工作多么辛苦,它从不抱怨。它的沉默让莉莉感到有点内疚(guilty),仿佛她正在不公平地使唤一个仆人;她有一种强烈的冲动(urge)想和它说话,有一种强烈的欲望(have an urge to)去知道它是否有心。但机器人总是用同样随机(random)的话语回答,它的最大(maximum)速度也始终不变,于是这种奇怪的感觉渐渐消失(fall away)了。
一天晚上,一个小小的失误引起了一阵剧烈的震动(jolt),机器人突然快速翻转(flip)了面板,似乎在愤怒地爆炸(explode)。响声使莉莉震惊(stun)得说不出话,她还不小心踩进了外面的泥浆(mud)里。后来她才知道,是系统里一个小小的运算错误——分开(division)数据的环节出了故障,而公司被指责在广告中夸大其词(overstatement)。事实上,突然的动作来自一缕(puff)坏掉的蒸汽,而不是真正的愤怒。莉莉的小侄女(niece)用手帕(handkerchief)擦去眼泪,她的丈夫警告说,绝不能让机器接管(take over)家庭;在这一点上无所作为(inaction)可能会与(conflict with)我们保护家人的责任相冲突。机器节省了太多劳动(labour)并不总是好事,机器人对人心来说始终像外星人(alien)一样陌生。莉莉微笑着留下了这台小机器,但从那天起,她开始留心观察它的每一个动作。

题型7:阅读理解(词汇复现)
Last month, our school organized a visit to a robot factory, and I was deeply impressed by modern science. A friendly guide showed us around, and she told us that every robot must pass a strict test out before it leaves the company, and that the workers there receive a fair salary every month. She also said that the machines are checked on a weekly basis, because even a tiny mistake could cause serious problems in the future.
In the exhibition hall, we saw many kinds of robots. One could calculate the exact fare for a long train journey, and another could fetch a cup of tea without spilling a single drop. The guide explained that special panels and levers control their movements, and that their memory is never blurred by tiredness. Some people think robots will one day take over the world, but the guide believed this idea was ridiculous and even absurd. In fact, the machines are built to save heavy labour, not to replace human care, and the quiet integrity of a machine can never be superior to the warmth of a real person. Before the visit, I had read many science fiction stories about robots, and I had expected to see something magical; the guide's honest words made me think about the difference between real machines and the ones in my favourite stories.
However, not everything went smoothly. While we were watching a cooking robot, it suddenly made a loud jolt and seemed to explode before our eyes. The noise stunned all the students, and the guide quickly turned out the power to keep everyone safe. She explained that the robot had received a random signal by mistake, and that its maximum speed had caused a small shock in its system. The company would suspend the use of this model until the problem was fixed, and it would declare the result to the public honestly, because honesty is the true dignity of science. A worker explained that this was a rare accident, and that the company would do its best to keep every visitor safe.
After the visit, I understood that machines are useful but never perfect. We should weigh the pros and cons of every new invention and never let our urge for convenience make us careless. A robot can grip a tool perfectly, but it can never feel guilty like a real human being. Some companies offer a big bonus to buyers and turn every repair into an appointment, yet a machine is still more like a tool than a friend. We should presume that technology is helpful, but inaction about safety may conflict with our duty to protect the family. A robot will always remain an alien to human hearts, and the line between them is as hazy as a distant dream.
1. What did the guide say about the robots in the factory?
A. They are checked only once a year.
B. Every robot must pass a strict test before it leaves the company.
C. They never make any mistakes.
D. The workers there receive no pay at all.
2. What does the underlined word "stun" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. To surprise or shock greatly.
B. To make something clean.
C. To break something into pieces.
D. To turn something on.
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The writer was afraid of all machines.
B. The writer learned that machines are useful but never perfect.
C. The company stopped making robots forever.
D. The accident was caused by the students.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to build a robot at home.
B. Why robots should replace human workers.
C. A student's visit to a robot factory taught her the value and limits of machines.
D. How to repair a broken cooking robot.

The Robot at Home
Last month, my aunt Lily received an unexpected bonus from her company and decided to buy a home robot, because she had always loved science fiction, especially science fiction films about faithful machines. When the robot arrived, its smooth leather body and bright control panel made it look more like a polite servant than a cold machine. Some neighbours thought the idea was ridiculous and even absurd, saying that no machine could have true integrity or keep human dignity. Lily believed a good machine could be superior in strength and patience, though never superior to a real person in warmth and care.
The robot came from a famous company, where every product must pass a strict test out before leaving the factory, and a polite saleswoman had shown it at the exhibition venue, where a helpful salesman answered every question. The chairwoman gave it no monthly salary, because machines need no pay, but she set a fixed appointment for its daily service and weighed the pros and cons of sending robots out. The robot could calculate the weight of flour in grammes and the exact fare for a taxi, and it did the housework on a weekly basis with perfect accuracy, working under the rule of on a ... basis. The robot could also tell the time and remember every member of the family. However, a neighbour presumed the robot would one day control the house; her rumour spread quickly, whereas the machine was completely harmless. The company had to dismiss the fears and declare the robot safe, but nobody would suspend the talk.
The robot helped in many ways. It climbed the ladder to clean high shelves, used a lever to open heavy boxes, and could fetch water or turn out the lamp when Lily forgot. It could repair the broken nail on the wall by hammering it. It walked backwards with hot soup at a steady pace, never changing by even one inch. Its memory was never blurred or hazy, and it could grip a glass without breaking it. It never complained, no matter how tiring the work was. Its silence made Lily feel a little guilty, as if she were using a servant unfairly, and she felt an urge to ask about its feelings, have an urge to know whether it had a heart. But the robot answered with the same random words, and its maximum speed never changed, so the strange feeling gradually fell away.
One evening, a small mistake caused a sharp jolt, and the robot suddenly flipped its panel and seemed to explode in anger. The noise stunned Lily, and she stepped into the mud outside. Later she learned that a tiny division error in its system was to blame, and the company had been accused of overstatement in its ads. In fact, the sudden action came from a broken puff of steam, not real anger. Lily's little niece wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and her husband warned that machines must never take over the home; inaction about this might conflict with our duty to protect the family. Too much labour saved by machines is not always a blessing, and a robot will always feel like an alien to human hearts. Lily smiled and kept the little machine, but from that day on she watched its every move with care.
B. 语境串记单词(汉语译文)
上个月,我的阿姨莉莉从公司得到了一笔意外的奖金(bonus),于是决定买一台家用机器人,因为她一直很喜欢科幻(fiction)小说,尤其是那些关于忠实机器的科幻(science fiction)电影。机器人送到家时,它光滑的皮革(leather)身体和明亮的控制面板(panel)让它看起来更像(more like)一位彬彬有礼的仆人,而不是一台冰冷的机器。一些邻居觉得这个想法十分可笑(ridiculous),甚至荒谬(absurd),他们说任何机器都不可能拥有真正的正直(integrity),也无法保持人类的尊严(dignity)。莉莉相信一台好机器可能在力气和耐心上更胜一筹(superior),尽管它在温暖人心方面永远无法优于(superior to)一个真实的人。
这台机器人来自一家著名的公司,那里每件产品出厂前都必须经过严格的检验(test out),一位彬彬有礼的女售货员(saleswoman)曾在展览活动场地(venue)里展示过它,那里一位热心的售货员(salesman)回答了关于它的每一个问题。公司的女主席(chairwoman)不给它月薪(salary),因为机器不需要报酬,但她每天为它的服务设定固定的预约(appointment),并仔细权衡派遣机器人外出的利与弊(pros and cons)。机器人能计算(calculate)面粉(flour)以克(gramme)为单位的重量,也能算出出租车的确切车费(fare);它以完美精确的方式做家务,以每周(weekly)为基准(on a ... basis)工作。机器人还能报时,并记住家里的每一个成员。然而,一位邻居猜想(presume)机器人总有一天会控制整个家;她的谣言(rumour)迅速传开,然而(whereas)事实上这台机器完全无害。公司不得不消除(dismiss)这些恐惧,宣布(declare)机器人是安全的,但没有人愿意暂停(suspend)这场议论。
机器人在很多方面都能帮忙。它会爬上梯子(ladder)清理高处的架子,用杠杆(lever)打开沉重的箱子,还能取来(fetch)水,或在莉莉忘记时关掉(turn out)台灯(lamp)。它还能用锤子钉好墙上松动的钉子(nail)。它会端着热汤小心地向后(backwards)走,以恒定的速度(pace)移动,连一英寸(inch)都不差。它的记忆从不模糊(blurred)或朦胧(hazy),它还能稳稳地紧握(grip)玻璃杯而不打碎。无论工作多么辛苦,它从不抱怨。它的沉默让莉莉感到有点内疚(guilty),仿佛她正在不公平地使唤一个仆人;她有一种强烈的冲动(urge)想和它说话,有一种强烈的欲望(have an urge to)去知道它是否有心。但机器人总是用同样随机(random)的话语回答,它的最大(maximum)速度也始终不变,于是这种奇怪的感觉渐渐消失(fall away)了。
一天晚上,一个小小的失误引起了一阵剧烈的震动(jolt),机器人突然快速翻转(flip)了面板,似乎在愤怒地爆炸(explode)。响声使莉莉震惊(stun)得说不出话,她还不小心踩进了外面的泥浆(mud)里。后来她才知道,是系统里一个小小的运算错误——分开(division)数据的环节出了故障,而公司被指责在广告中夸大其词(overstatement)。事实上,突然的动作来自一缕(puff)坏掉的蒸汽,而不是真正的愤怒。莉莉的小侄女(niece)用手帕(handkerchief)擦去眼泪,她的丈夫警告说,绝不能让机器接管(take over)家庭;在这一点上无所作为(inaction)可能会与(conflict with)我们保护家人的责任相冲突。机器节省了太多劳动(labour)并不总是好事,机器人对人心来说始终像外星人(alien)一样陌生。莉莉微笑着留下了这台小机器,但从那天起,她开始留心观察它的每一个动作。

题型7:阅读理解(词汇复现)
Last month, our school organized a visit to a robot factory, and I was deeply impressed by modern science. A friendly guide showed us around, and she told us that every robot must pass a strict test out before it leaves the company, and that the workers there receive a fair salary every month. She also said that the machines are checked on a weekly basis, because even a tiny mistake could cause serious problems in the future.
In the exhibition hall, we saw many kinds of robots. One could calculate the exact fare for a long train journey, and another could fetch a cup of tea without spilling a single drop. The guide explained that special panels and levers control their movements, and that their memory is never blurred by tiredness. Some people think robots will one day take over the world, but the guide believed this idea was ridiculous and even absurd. In fact, the machines are built to save heavy labour, not to replace human care, and the quiet integrity of a machine can never be superior to the warmth of a real person. Before the visit, I had read many science fiction stories about robots, and I had expected to see something magical; the guide's honest words made me think about the difference between real machines and the ones in my favourite stories.
However, not everything went smoothly. While we were watching a cooking robot, it suddenly made a loud jolt and seemed to explode before our eyes. The noise stunned all the students, and the guide quickly turned out the power to keep everyone safe. She explained that the robot had received a random signal by mistake, and that its maximum speed had caused a small shock in its system. The company would suspend the use of this model until the problem was fixed, and it would declare the result to the public honestly, because honesty is the true dignity of science. A worker explained that this was a rare accident, and that the company would do its best to keep every visitor safe.
After the visit, I understood that machines are useful but never perfect. We should weigh the pros and cons of every new invention and never let our urge for convenience make us careless. A robot can grip a tool perfectly, but it can never feel guilty like a real human being. Some companies offer a big bonus to buyers and turn every repair into an appointment, yet a machine is still more like a tool than a friend. We should presume that technology is helpful, but inaction about safety may conflict with our duty to protect the family. A robot will always remain an alien to human hearts, and the line between them is as hazy as a distant dream.
1. What did the guide say about the robots in the factory?
A. They are checked only once a year.
B. Every robot must pass a strict test before it leaves the company.
C. They never make any mistakes.
D. The workers there receive no pay at all.
2. What does the underlined word "stun" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. To surprise or shock greatly.
B. To make something clean.
C. To break something into pieces.
D. To turn something on.
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The writer was afraid of all machines.
B. The writer learned that machines are useful but never perfect.
C. The company stopped making robots forever.
D. The accident was caused by the students.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to build a robot at home.
B. Why robots should replace human workers.
C. A student's visit to a robot factory taught her the value and limits of machines.
D. How to repair a broken cooking robot.
