B．therearetoomanyscientistsinJapanalready

C．scienceismoredifficultforyoungpeopletolearn

D．they’renotcuriousabouthowhightechdeviceswork

答案　D

解析　细节理解题。

根据第一段第二句可知，日本的年轻人对科学的兴趣减弱是因为他们对高科技产品的运作方式不感兴趣。

26．Theunderlinedword“their”inParagraph2refersto.

A．Japanesebusinesses’B．Japaneseengineers’

C．Japan’syouth’sD．hightechdevices’

答案　B

解析　代词指代题。

根据第二段前两句可知，日本企业成功的部分原因是有大量的工程师。

而日本的年轻人对科学的兴趣日益下降可能会导致工程师数量的减少和素质的降低。

故their指代“日本工程师们的”。

27．WhydoessciencemeetthesameprobleminJapan，theUSandEurope?

A．Peoplearesatisfiedwiththeconveniencehightechdevicesbringtothem.

B．Peoplebelievetheydon’tneedtodeveloptheirscienceanymore.

C．Peoplethinkhightechdevicesdestroystheenvironment.

D．Peopledon’twanttolivethemodernizedlife.

答案　A

解析　细节理解题。

根据最后一段可知，一个富裕的社会会降低人们发展国家的欲望，也就是说，人们的生活太过安逸。

在欧洲和美国出现同样的问题也是同样道理。

C

28．What’sthepassagemainlyabout?

A．Theautomatedwaytomotivation.

B．ThedevelopmentofAutom.

C．Theworkingprincipleofrobot.

D．Thewaytochangethelifestylehabits.

答案　A

解析　主旨大意题。

通读全文可知这种机器人能给人们激励。

特别是第一段第一句“Askanyonewhatisthemostdifficultpartofchangingtheirlifestylehabitsandtheyaremostlikelytosay，‘stayingmotivated’．”开门见山提出这种机器人的设计目的，下文进行了验证。

29．Whatcanweknowaboutthecontrolledstudy?

A．Thesubjectsweredividedbytwo.

B．EverypersonwithAutomcontinuedpastsixweeks.

C．ThestudywasledbyCoryKidd.

D．PeopleusingAutomgainedmorebenefitthanotherpeople.

答案　D

解析　细节理解题。

本题考查实验的相关内容。

通过第五段和第六段可知实验是在三组内进行，所以A项错误；通过第六段第一句话可知B项错误；第四段只是说“CoryKidd，aresearchteammanager”，并没有说他领导进行了这个实验；实验的结论为D项。

30．WhichinstitutionisresponsibleforthedevelopmentofAutom?

A．CarnegieMellonUniversity.

B．Roboticstrends.

C．FederalEmergencyManagementAgency.

D．PittsburghCityCouncil.

答案　B

解析　细节理解题。

根据第二段第一句话“AutomistheworkofRoboticstrends...”可知是Roboticstrends研发出这种机器人。

31．Whatcanweinferfromthepassage?

A．Therobotcan’tspeakEnglishexceptCantoneseandMandarin.

B．Therobotthatcanspeakmanylanguageshasbeenpopularwiththeusers.

C．Therobotcanhelppeoplechangetheirlifestylehabits.

D．Therobotsthatcanspeakmanylanguagesmeetthedemandofthecustomers.

答案　C

解析　推理判断题。

根据文章可知这种机器人并没有真正投入生产和使用，排除选项B；根据最后一段可知选项A错误；选项D是最后一段的具体信息，同时表述也不准确，只是提到了能说三种语言而不是能说多种语言的机器人正在研发中。

根据第一段的开始和后面的阐述可知C项正确。

D
