第二部分 话题阅读训练
（A）阅读理解
Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation
quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices
being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need
for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.
However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine
traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream — this device could not be inserted into blood vessels
（管）because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been
developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a
presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be
swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.
To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter,
which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them
children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To
start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus（食道）and stomach made out of
silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the
robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine（肠）, and
contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm×27mm capsule of ice. Once this
reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of
a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and
draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed
towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it,
the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery
burn to speed up healing.
The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the
batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to
succeed.
4．According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to_________.
A．travel through a scientist’s bloodstream
B．enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs
C．photograph the body to convey to the doctor
D．operate on a person outside the body completely
5．We learn from Paragraph 3 that _________.
A．the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal
B．the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice
C．digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children
D．the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet
6．What may the experiment mean to the medical world?
A．Fewer children will swallow the button cells.
B．A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.
C．The surgeries will cost patients much money.
D．Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.
7．Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．The Fantastic Robotic Voyage B．The Exploration of Robot Technology
C．Tiny Robot, Significant Role D．An Experiment on Robot

Early on Saturday morning, parents and viewers walked in a line into the gym at the Einste
Academy, a school in Illinois in the US. After the coach 21 his opening speech everyone
22 for the US's national song. After the song, judges dressed in black and white shirt took up
their 23 outside the playing field, ready for the games to begin.
While this sounds like the typical setting of a US sporting event, this one had a high-tech
twist, was a competitive robotics 24 —a game that turns the subjects of science, technology,
engineerin and mathematics into a competitive sport.
25 by coaches, teams of students in grade 7 through 12 who designed, built and
programmo their own robots competed against other robotics teams in the West Suburban League
North Division the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC).
“Most students experience multiple-choice questions.” said Jonathan Weiland, who works f
FIRST Tech Challenge in Illinois. “In FTC, there are hundreds of solutions to a problem and they
see which solution 26 the best.”
“Founded by a not-for-profit organization, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of
Science ai Technology) events are modeled after traditional sports like basketball to generate
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】27 in robotic,” Weiland said. FIRST Tech Challenge is one of four FIRST programs.
During a FIRST Tech Challenge, Robotics teams either 28 a robotics kit(配套组件),
adjusting and upgrading their design, or custom build(专门制作) a robot using 29 materials,
recording the progress in engineering notebooks.
The robotics teams compete in games within a league, getting points throughout the season
30 a national and even global competitions. There are 35 teams in the West Surburban Leagn
North Division and only eight will go to the state, Weiland said. Teams earn awards based on the
robot’s 31 ,design and other accomplishments.
“Judges 32 pair two robotics teams to form a group that competes against two other
teams. With multiple games played by all teams at each meet, a competitor in one game might be a
33 in the next,” Weiland said. Students are taught to help each other at all times and to 34
the other team, he said.
“One of the best things you can do with your 35 is to share something with someone
else,” student said. “It's fun being on the journey with them.”
