When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest, "But now, it's different," Says Nejat, "People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready." Nejať's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care-giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.

Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease (老年痴呆症 ). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding(提醒) the patients of taking their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.

Some have worried that care-giving robots might reduce (减少 ) human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. "But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it" says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder(自闭障碍症) improve social skills.

As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human-robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions? Will patients lose interest?

"One thing is clear," Scassellati says, "Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future. "

1.Nejat's robots are designed to________.

A.work in the factory B.make phone calls

C.take care of the old D.knock on doors

2.The writer starts the passage by________.

A.telling two stories B.comparing two facts

C.raising a question D.giving an example

3.The main idea of Paragraph 3 is________.

A.what the robots can do B.what serious problems the robots cause

C.what the old people can do D.what the old people think of the robots

4.According to Scassellati, we can infer that Nejat's robots ________.

A.will have feelings soon B.can take the place of humans

C.should be produced more D.won't give their own opinions

Wearing a white blouse, Ai-Da studies her subject and begins to draw. She looks like any artist at work. However, the "beep ... beep ... beep" noise from her arm gives her away. Ai-Da is, in fact, a robot.
Ai-Da has been described as the world's "first AI (人工智能) robot artist". She takes her name from Ada Lovelace, the world's first female computer programmer. Scientists at Oxford University developed AI systems (系统) for Ai-Da. The robot has cameras in her eyeballs. After she has studied a subject, she will use her left arm to draw. Now, Ai-Da can only use a pencil for sketches (素描). The plan is for her to paint.
Ai-Da is not the first AI system to produce artworks. Since 2006, scientists have been developing software (软件) to turn photos into drawings. Last year, an artwork created using AI was sold in New York for $132,500. However, Ai-Da's human-like appearance brings something new to the field.
In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford. There were about 30 drawings by the robot. Ai-Da, standing next to her artworks, attracted (吸引) many visitors.
Ai-Da's inventor, Aidan Meller, talked about the importance of the robot. "Ai-Da brings a new voice to the art world," she said. "AI is going to be the big thing of the 2020s. That influences us greatly." Meller hopes the exhibition was just the start and that more will follow to show how AI is influencing human life.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。
1.Ai-Da is a real artist who helps scientists at Oxford University develop AI systems.
2.Last year, scientists began to develop software to turn photos into drawings.
3.In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford successfully.
4.Aidan Meller thinks AI is going to influence human life more and more greatly.

I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money.
In San Diego recently $325,000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments. The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging (摇动) their tails. Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out?
What about AIBO, a robotic pet, developed in Japan? In Japanese aibou means “buddy”. These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment. They've been used in movies and music videos. Universities have used them for educational purposes. However, in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money. Was it worth a lot of money?
Then there’s NAO, a robot which has been developed by a French company. Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans. It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality. It can tell children a story, help in the classroom or the home, or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with. A fully developed one costs $16,000. Is that value for money? Who can afford it anyway?
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven’t thought of any.
1.What does the underlined word “companion” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A.公司 B.机构 C.对手 D.伙伴
2.What is the true fact about the robots mentioned?
A.The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research.
B.AIBO wasn’t made any more because it only provided entertainment.
C.A fully developed NAO may tell kids stories in different languages.
D.All the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost.
3.What does the writer think of developing robots?
A.It can help bring people a lot of fun. B.It has advantages in many ways.
C.It may be useful but costs too much. D.It is worth a great deal of money.
