二、阅读理解
(2015·天津卷)
Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us，” said Breazeal.
语篇解读 在数年后，不管在家里还是在工作场所，社会机器人将非常普遍。社会机器人将用更人性化的方式将技术带到日常生活中去。

A. They can control their emotions.
B. They are more like humans.
C. They do the normal housework.
D. They respond to users more slowly.
答案与解析 B 考查推理判断。根据第二段第一句可知，现在家务机器人做正常的家务，而社会机器人不仅仅是工具，更像是伙伴。由此可知社会机器人更像人类，故选B。
2．What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A. Communicate with you and perform operations.
B. Answer your questions and make requests.
C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
答案与解析 D 考查细节理解。第三段中提到：你可以问Jibo机器人问题，也能要求它做不同的任务。它不仅仅给出一般的答案，它能根据对家庭成员的了解做出不同的回应。它能够提醒老人吃药，也能拍摄家庭照片。由此可知Jibo机器人能够服从你的命令，也能提醒你吃药，故选D。
3．What can Oshbot work as?
A. A language teacher.
B. A tour guide.
C. A shop assistant.
D. A private nurse.
