英文试题求答案5
Not long ago, the only time you’d see a robot is when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars. (8)Today, however, science stories are fast becoming science facts. Robots are starting to make their presences felt in our everyday lives.
These robots come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. They all have the same type of man-made “brain”. Leading the robot revolution are industrial robots – robots that work in factories. Industrial robots perform different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. (9)Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren’t as friendly and bright as those you see in Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots “walk”, sense objects in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody’s perfect.
We may laugh at home robots today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths of light, and hear certain sounds. That’s because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. (10)Robots may also be equipped with devices that pick up information humans can’t.
To understand what their sensing devices pick up is a hard job. Remember, man-made brains handle information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like – using only zeroes and ones.
