英语试题 07-30
Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be boring. This can be especially true of children. They may feel cut off from their friends and classmates. Now, these children may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. That friend is a robot.
The robot is called Avatarl (AV1). It takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in classes from wherever they are recovering. And the children's school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on their desks.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. There are another two co-founders: Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel.
Dolva explains how the robot works. She says from home the child uses an iPad or a phone to start the robot, control the robot’s movements with touch, and talk through it. The child can take part in classroom activities. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. So it’s the eyes and the ears and the voice of the child at school. Inside AVI is a small computer connected to a 4G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same.
AV1 was designed to be tough. It won't allow water to pass through it and can take a fall from a desk without damage. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says it can't be just a tiny camera because the other kids can't pick it up and take it with them. This is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.
Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
12. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The robot has been used widely in many fields.
B. The robot can make friends with sick children.
C. The robot will take sick children to take part in classes.
D. The robot may help sick children feel less lonely.
13. According to the passage, AV 1 may be started through ________.
A. an iPad B. a camera C. a computer D. a speaker
14. What does the underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Strong. B. Amazing. C. Attractive. D. Fancy.
15. Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A tourist guide. B. An exhibition guide.
C. A science textbook. D. A science report.
