Question

  Claude Sammut,a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia,said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.

  For many years,Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup,where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.

  As he explains,the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own,but he is still full of confidence that one day in the fu?ture they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney,who is one of the best football players in the world.

  Mr Sammut also saidIn 1968,John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland,that within 10 years a computer programme would be able to beat him. It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programmes came into being.”

  "In the same spirit of a grand challenge,RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050. To achieve this,or come even closer to the ambition,the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments. This will require major advances in percept—f感知) ，decision making,learning,and cooperative behaviours. Con?sidering robots are integrated hardware and software systems,great advances will also be needed in sensors (傳感器) ，energy storage,and materials."

4. The RoboCup is aimed to develop robots that know how to         .

   A. play computer football games

   B. play football and win in real matches

   C. understand the rules of the football game

   D. improve the skills of real football players

5. What kind of difficulties are the robots facing in playing football?

   A. They can't run as fast as real people.

   B. They can't recognize their partners accurately.

   C. They can't control the ball well by themselves.

   D. They can't pass the ball to their partners.

6. The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth         .

   A. in 1968   B. in 1978

   C. in the 1990s   D. 30 years ago

7. What's the best title for this passage?

   A. Scientists' wisdom in designing robot football players

   B. Robot football players to beat the world's best team by 2050

   C. Robot football players' bright future

   D. Mr Sammut―the father of robot football players  

Answer 1

[文章大意].本文主要敘述機(jī)器人足球隊在研發(fā)中面臨的一些難題，同時預(yù)測它們有望在2050年擊敗人類最好的足球隊。

4. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一.段"…where robots have heen pro?grammed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match."可知應(yīng)選B.

5. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第:二段"…the robots arc having diffi?culty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own..."可知應(yīng)選C.

6. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段"'In 1968. John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland... '"知應(yīng)選A。

7. B主旨大意題。文章主要講的是機(jī)器人足球隊在2050年可能會打敗人類最好的足球隊，故B項能體現(xiàn)文章的大意。
