文章大意：本文主要介绍了机器人的发展历程。

【推荐1】

Robots as we know them started out as science fiction. But how are they changed from fiction into fact? Let’s take a short tour down the development of robots.

A Shakey start

In 1954, Unimate, a large robotic arm, became the world’s first industrial robot. For a long time, robots were only found in factories or laboratories. Shakey, developed between 1966 and 1972, was the world’s first mobile intelligent robot. Shakey’s software has since led to robotic cleaners and self-driving cars.

Helping hands

Eventually, robots found their way into homes and classrooms. In 1999, the Japanese company Sony released a robotic pet dog called Aibo. Then, in 2006, a French company introduced a robot called NAO, which is used by schools around the world to help teachers with lessons.

Out of this world

Robots have become an important part of space missions. Recently, the Curiosity Rover robot from a space agency is exploring the surface of Mars. The International Space Station has a human-like robot called Robonaut 2 (R2) that performs a series of repair tasks so that the astronauts (宇航员) have more time to focus on scientific research.

Into the future

Some people fear that robots will take too many jobs away from humans, which is called automation. According to studies, up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. However, some experts think that the use of robots will allow businesses to create more jobs than have been lost. Meanwhile, the coronavirus pandemic (新冠肺炎) has shown how robots and humans can work together. In Singapore, a robotic dog called Spot has been used to help enforce social distancing. Looking ahead, whether it’s in education, entertainment or space research, robots will play a big part in the future of humanity.

1. The world’s first industrial robot was ________.
A．UnimateB．ShakeyC．AiboD．NAO
2. Robonaut 2 is a robot that ________.
A．explores the surface of MarsB．looks like a pet dog
C．does repair work for astronautsD．focuses on scientific research
3. What does the underline word “automation” in the last paragraph probably mean in Chinese? ________
A．自动化B．规模化C．人工化D．信息化
4. The author’s attitude towards the role of robots in the future is ________.

5. What is the text mainly about? ________
A．What robots can do.B．How robots develop.
C．Who invented robots.D．Why robots are useful.

【推荐2】Humans are so creative that hundreds of inventions are coming up every day. However, do you know that there are many unknown stories behind these inventions?

One of the most famous logos in the world is the Nike logo. It was designed by an American student, Carolyn Davidson, in 1971. Ms. Davidson got the idea from the wing of a swan in her dream, but she was only paid $35 dollars for her design.

Tinned(罐装的)food was invented in 1810 in Britain by Peter Durand. Unluckily, he did not also invent a tin opener, so tins were opened with a great difficulty by using a knife or a hammer (锤子). It wasn’t until nearly 50 years later that the American Ezra Warner invented the tin opener.

The modern game of golf was invented in Scotland in the 18thcentury. It was first played only by men, and was called “golf” because of the rule “Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden”. This is how the word “golf” entered into the English language.

When people at toy company “Parker Brothers” were first shown the board game “Monopoly”, they were not interested. They said the game took too long to play. However, a few days later, the company president saw the game and took it home to try it. He stayed up until 1 a.m. to finish playing it, and the next day he wrote to the inventor, Charles Darrow, and offered to buy it!

1. What is the structure of the passage?
