　　The global population is living longer，and getting older，阅读理解答案

　　The global population is living longer，and getting older，which presents new challenges. “The question becomes：who will take care of everyone While people will always be the best caregivers for people，there just aren’t enough people. That’s where robot17教育网：ic technology can really make a difference,” says Professor Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California.

　　Her group is developing robots to work with stroke (中风) patients and elderly people. The research team has found that people react well to a robot gym instructor，and seem to get less frustrated with it than with instructions given on a computer screen. The robot can act as a perfect trainer，with infinite(极大的`) patience.

　　“People say things like ‘I prefer this robot to my husband!Can I take it home’” according to Professor Mataric. “In fact there’s a really important point here. As we create these care giving technologies，we’re helping not only the people that need the care，but also the people caring for them. We can give them a break，and help them avoid burnout.”

　　People are going to have to like，and importantly trust robots before they welcome them into their homes，and several groups around the world are working on making it easier to communicate with them.

　　Much of human communication takes place through body language. Gestures， eye contact , and concepts of personal space are all things that robots are being taught. In learning about how people interact(互动) with machines，researchers are also discovering new roles for robots in our lives. Robots can communicate with humans in ways that other technologies can not.

　　“If someone finds the robot to be more persuasive and more reliable，that’s going to affect how they interact with it,” says Dr Cynthia Breazeal, director of the Personal Robots Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “We can now start to think about fields where it’s the social interaction，which is the main means by which a robot helps someone.” Dr Breazeal says that means robots could be used in education，learning，and health care，where social support is important.

　　9.Professor Maja Mataric mainly focused on robots’ function of ________.

　　A.teaching B.exploring

　　C.making things D.giving care

　　10.Why can robots be wonderful trainers in the gym

　　A.Because they are more clever.

　　B.Because they give correct instructions.

　　C.Because they cost less money.

　　D.Because they are more patient.

　　11.The underlined word “burnout” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

　　A.feeling tired B.feeling angry

　　C.getting hurt D.becoming disappointed

　　12.The scientists are presently working hard to help robots .

　　A.to use less electricity B.to communicate better

　　C.to react more quickly D.to have more functions

　　Here’s something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help：trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learn.According to a recent study，the more you try while you are learning new information，the better you can remember it later.

　　This might surprise you.When teachers are presenting new information，they often give students lots of help.But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning.“Don’t be too quick to get help when learning something new，”education expert Ma Kapur said.“Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.’’

　　Kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to better learning.Then he tested it out on students in Singapore.He separated students into two groups.In the first group，students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher’s help.In the second group，students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another，instead of getting help from the teacher.

　　With the teacher’s help，students in the first group were able to find the correct answers.Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly.But they did come up with a lot of good ideas.

　　The students were then tested on what they had 1earned.The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help.Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process(过程)，not just the solution.

　　Kapur’s advice for kids is to put a 1ot of effort(努力)into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help.“Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won’t work.”says Kapur.“Try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible.’’

　　13.What is the best title for the text

　　A.Work Your Mind

　　B.Practice Makes Perfect

　　C.The Best Way to Learn

　　D.Teachers’ Role in Schoolwork

　　14.Manu Kapur holds that _______ .

　　A.it’s necessary for students to ask for teachers’ help

　　B.students should try to solve problems by themselves

　　C.students with teachers’ help have more good ideas

　　D.students in the first group are cleverer than those in the second group

　　15.The author develops the text mainly by _________ .

　　A. presenting research findings

　　B. comparing different opinions

　　C. showing scientific information

　　D. setting down general rules

　　答案解析：

　　英语阅读及答案

　　Motivation(动机) to satisfy one‘s needs is brought about by ―drives‖, These ―drives‖ do not determine man‘s behaviour, but rather direct man‘s energy towards certain aims. For example, man‘s body requires food, which is a biological need, when this need comes up, man feels uncomfortable and his thoughts turn to getting food or satisfying that need. If he is very hungry, it will difficult for him to pay enough attention to anything except his need for food.

　　While all men feel hungry, there is more than one method for helping free people of this uncomfortable feeling. How needs are satisfying depends on what we have been taught or what we have learned from our experiences. As we grow, we learn shat foods our society considers acceptable, and how they should be prepared and eaten. In some societies, for example, pork is considered a special food while in other societies it is strictly forbidden. In some societies fish is always cooked, but in other societies raw (生的) fish is preferred. The way in which we satisfy a drive is a learned response. Nature has not built a food – getting response into man. He cannot just eat whatever he wants of whenever there is food, his satisfaction of the hunger drive, for example, is limited by the rules of a society. Although we are hunger, according to the rules of society, we should not steal food, even if it belongs someone weaker than we are.

　　1.According to the passage, ―drives‖ _____.

　　A.can be brought about by motivation B..can always decide man‘s action

　　C.direct man‘s energy toward certain goals D.follow man‘s motivations

　　2. ____ is a biological need.

　　A.Motivation B. Drive C. Hunger D. Experience

　　3. The writer hopes to tell us that ____.

　　A. man should satisfy his biological needs whenever necessary

　　B.man‘s needs should always be satisfied without any condition

　　C.what man should do if he feels hungry

　　D.man‘s satisfaction of needs is limited by the rules of a certain society

　　答案：CCD
