　　(2024·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.

　　語篇解讀　在數年后，不管在家里還是在工作場所，社會機器人將非常普遍。社會機器人將用更人性化的方式將技術帶到日常生活中去。

　　1．How are social robots different from household robots?

　　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.

　　答案與解析　B　考查推理判斷。根據第二段第一句可知，現在家務機器人做正常的家務，而社會機器人不僅僅是工具，更像是伙伴。由此可知社會機器人更像人類，故選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.

　　答案與解析　D　考查細節理解。第三段中提到：你可以問Jibo機器人問題，也能要求它做不同的任務。它不僅僅給出一般的答案，它能根據對家庭成員的了解做出不同的回應。它能夠提醒老人吃藥，也能拍攝家庭照片。由此可知Jibo機器人能夠服從你的命令，也能提醒你吃藥，故選D。

　　3．What can Oshbot work as?

　　A. A language teacher.

　　B. A tour guide.

　　C. A shop assistant.

　　D. A private nurse.

　　答案與解析　C　考查細節理解。根據倒數第二段可知，Oshbot能夠在商店中幫助顧客，故選C項。

　　4．We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ________.

　　A. train employees

　　B. be our workmates

　　C. improve technologies

　　D. take the place of workers

　　答案與解析　B　考查細節理解。最后一段提到社會機器人不是用來取代工人的，而是和其他員工一起工作，由此可知社會機器人將成為我們的同事，故B項正確。

　　5．What does the passage mainly present?

　　A. A new design idea of household robots.

　　B. Marketing strategies for social robots.

　　C. Information on household robots.

　　D. An introduction to social robots.

　　答案與解析　D　考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，本文介紹了社會機器人的一些情況，故選D項。
