　　Surface Exploration. Robots make great explorers on planets，moons，and other landing areas.Aside from Earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity.Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.

　　Data Collection. Robots are designed for collecting scientific data.Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，and finding water are all performed much quicker and more accurately(精确地)by robots.

　　Cost Effective. The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also have enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.

　　Space Travel. Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are the Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.

　　B．It may be dangerous for human to explore the solar system except the earth.

　　D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.

　　32．Which column of the passage could come from?

　　B．Finance.

　　C．Travel.

　　D．Science.

　　33．The underlined phrase “withstand” most probably means “________”．

　　课时作业(十四)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　考查动词词义辨析。句意：尽管天黑了，我的父亲仍然借着月光在田野里干活。

　　2．A　考查名词词义辨析。句意：两国高层领导人之间的会谈在友好的气氛中进行着。atmosphere气氛；state状态；situation处境；phenomenon现象。由句意可知A项正确。

　　3．C　考查副词词义辨析。句意：计算机革命或许像工业革命一样能根本地改变社会。fundamentally基础地，根本地，重要地，符合题意。insignificantly不重要的，不显著的；comparatively相对地，对比地。

　　4．C　考查形容词词义辨析。句意：丈夫和妻子之间发生了一次激烈的争吵；之后，妻子离家出走，再也没回来。violent激烈的，暴力的；sensitive敏感的；serious严重的，严肃的；strict严格的。

　　5．A　考查动词词义辨析。句意：尽管大多数人知道吸烟增加得癌症的机率，但是让他们戒掉依然很难。multiply增加；add增加(如果add后加to则可选)；combine结合，联合；gain获得，得到。

　　6．B　考查动词短语辨析。句意：在经济危机来临之前，John就觉察到这家公司即将倒闭，于是就及时退了出来。A使车停下；B离开，(火车)驶出车站；C脱去，胜利完成；D拆毁(建筑物)，拖垮。根据句意判断选B，表示“离开，辞职”。

　　7．A　考查动词短语辨析。句意：相反地，你应做的是要振作起来寻找问题的解决之道。cheer up意为“振作起来”。

　　8．B　考查动词短语辨析。句意：我计划举行一次露天聚会，但是我不敢保证，因为这要取决于天气。link with联系着；depend on取决于，依赖；connect to连接；decide on决定。由句意不难推出答案为B。

　　9．B　考查形容词词义辨析。句意：爱丽丝面带迷惑的表情看了那封信，不知道是谁寄给她的。这里是迷惑的表情，表现出她的内心感受，故用修饰人的词来修饰expression。因此答案选B。

　　10．A　考查介词短语辨析。句意：广场中央的那座特殊的建筑物是现存最古老的木造建筑。in existence现存，存在；in silence保持安静；in safety处于安全中；in need需要。根据句意答案选A。

　　Ⅱ.态度决定一切。假如一个人的心态良好，始终保持乐观的状态，死神也会望而却步，为他打开生命的绿灯。

　　11．B　根据第三段中的内容可知他总是心态“良好”。D项表示“平衡的”，不符合语境。

　　12．A　第三段的后半部分提到在医生和护士对他不抱有希望时他决定自己活下来，由此可知他的话总是非常“乐观的”。

　　13．A　根据他起死回生的经历可知，他认为，底线是你选择“如何”生活。后三项内容都与他的特殊经历在语意逻辑上不符。

　　14．D　经营饭店时开着后门显然是不应该发生的事。be supposed to do sth表示“应该做某事”。

　　15．C　此处表示在三个全副武装的强盗的枪口的威胁下被抢劫，此处hold up表示“拦劫，抢劫”，尤指持枪抢劫。pull up表示“拔起，停车，斥责”；put up表示“举起，建造，张贴”；do up表示“打扮，修理”，都不符合所给语境。

　　16．B　强盗的目的是钱，所以他们强迫他打开“保险箱”。safe在这里用作名词，意为“保险箱，保险柜”。

　　17．A　根据当时的情形可推断他因为“紧张”输错了密码。

　　18．D　本段的最后部分提到他的身体中仍然残留着子弹碎片，由此可知他们开枪打了他。

　　19．B　在强盗逃跑后，他被发现得很及时并被匆忙送往急救中心。此处relatively表示“相当地，相当程度上”。A项表示“很可能”；C项表示“仅仅”；D项表示“适度地，合理地”，明显不符合语境。

　　20．D　上一段最后一句提到经过长达18个小时的手术和几个星期的悉心护理，他已经出院。再结合下一句中医生对他的安慰可知他认为那里的医生很“好”。

　　21．C　他当时命危在旦夕，由此可推断是被“推”进急救室的。前两项不符合语境；文章中没有提到他不愿接受紧急治疗，所以D项错误。

　　22．B　他从医生和护士脸上的“表情”中察觉到了他存活希望的渺茫。A、D两项不符合后文语境。C项与on the faces搭配不当。

　　23．A　根据下一句可知他当时非常“恐惧”。后三项分别表示“尴尬的”、“失望的”、“烦闷的”，都与下文语境不符。

　　24．D　他从医生和护士脸上的表情读懂了他们所要表达的信息，此处read表示“了解，领悟”。

　　25．D　既然医生和护士都对他不抱有希望，根据下文他的幽默可知，他需要采取“行动”。

　　26．A　上一句提到护士长问他对什么药物过敏，然后医生和护士停止工作等待他的答复，由此可知他“思考”了一会儿后决定活下来。

　　27．C　下一句的前半部分提到他们都大声笑了起来，由此可推断他的回答非常幽默，四个选项中C项最具有幽默效果，即他说他对子弹过敏，暗示他同意手术。

　　28．C　本段前半部分提到他判断自己可能没有存活的希望，再结合他的反应可知他建议他们把他当成活人来治疗，as if表示“似乎，好像”。

　　29．B　他能活下来是因为他具有让人惊叹的“态度”。本段最后也是线索提示。

　　30．C　作者感悟到的哲理是态度决定一切，所以用“毕竟”。A项表示“说实话”；B项表示“如果那样”；D项表示“严格说来”，都不符合语境。

　　Ⅲ.主要介绍了机器人是如何在一些星体进行太空探索及与人相比所占的优势及所起的作用等等。

　　31．A　细节理解题。由第三段第一句“The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.”可知使用机器人进行太空探索比人类做这项工作花费更少，因此A项说花费更多是有误的。

　　32．D　推理判断题。本文主要关于机器人在太空探索中的运用，这应该属于科学栏目，故选D项。

　　33．B　词义猜测题。前面提到这些表面太热或太冷应该是会让人难以忍受，故选B项，bear意为“忍受”。

　　34．D　推理判断题。综观全文可知作者只是客观地介绍了机器人在太空探索中的使用，并未带有其他的否定的、说服性的或者是主观的看法，故选D项。
