Ⅴ.文章大意：本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了马丁内斯和其他研究人员已经开发出一种新的设计方法,这种方法可以通过3D打印机生产软体机器人,这可以满足日益增长的养老看护机器人的需求。
1.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people—those aged 60 or older—is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.”可知,市场迫切需要看护机器人的原因是全球老龄化人口的迅速增加。故选C。
2.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction…”可知,目前的看护机器人的硬结构使它们无法进行安全的人机互动。由此可知,它们不能提供令人信服的身体互动使得人们难以接受看护机器人。故选B。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3D printer.” (然而,马丁内斯和其他研究人员已经开发出一种新的设计方法,有望使用3D打印机生产软体机器人。)以及第六段中的“It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3D soft machine that can be printed using any 3D printer.”(计算机只需要几秒钟就能将计算机辅助设计模型变成可以使用任何3D打印机打印的3D软机械装置。)可知,马丁内斯和其他研究人员开发的新的设计方法能使用3D打印机生产软体机器人,并且计算机只需要几秒便可以使用任何3D打印机打印出软机械装置。由此可知,马丁内斯他们的设计使软体机器人的生产更容易操作。故选D。
4.C　主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3D printer.”及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了马丁内斯和其他研究人员已经开发出一种新的设计方法,这种方法可以通过3D打印机生产软体机器人。C选项“用3D打印机创造的软体机器人”与本文主旨相符。故选C。
Ⅵ.文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了狗狗Ruby因为精力旺盛,曾被很多家庭多次送回收容所,后来它进入当地警方的搜救部门,经过Daniel O’Neil下士的长期训练成为警犬,最终因拯救一名失踪男孩而成为英雄的故事。

Ⅴ 阅读理解(每小题2.5分,满分10分)
The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people—those aged 60 or older—is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.
Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the United States.
“Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue University’s College of Engineering. “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot ”
Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape themselves when touched, but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home.
However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3D printer.
The design process has three steps. First, a user makes a computer-aided design file with the shape of the robot. The user then paints the file to show which directions the different joints of the soft robot will move in. It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3D soft machine that can be printed using any 3D printer.
“The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez.
The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market.
(　)1.Why does the market urgently need caregiving robots
A.The basic needs of the nursing homes.
B.The results of advanced technology.
C.The rapid increase in the global aging population.
D.The continuous decrease in birth rate.
(　)2.What makes it difficult for people to accept caregiving robots
A.The robots can’t communicate with the patients freely.
B.The robots can’t offer convincing physical interaction.
C.The robots can’t update the service in a timely manner.
D.The robots can’t truly empathize with the old patients.
(　)3.How to evaluate Martinez’s new design method
A.It allows the computer to fully automate the robot production.
B.It requires a specific 3D printer to print out a soft robot.
C.It takes a long time to print a soft robot with a 3D printer.
D.It makes the production of soft robots easier to operate.
(　)4.What is the text mainly about
A.The robot industry in the future.
B.The effects of population aging.
C.Soft robots created with 3D printers.
D.The development of 3D printers.
