Question

Scientists will put some robot fish into the sea near Spain this year. These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water. If the robot fish are able to finish their work successfully, the team of scientists hopes the fish will be used in rivers, lakes and seas around the world.

The robot fish are about 1.5 meters long. There will be a detector (探測器) in their bodies. It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.

Unlike other robots, they don’t need to be opearted (操作) by people far away. The robots all have an eight-hour battery (電池). They can “swim” in the sea freely and send back information to peole on the beach. After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.

There are five robot fish altogether (總共). Each costs (花費) about 29,000 dollars. They are part of a three-year project between engineering comany BMT Group and Essex University in southeastern England.

1.The robot fish will help people find out _______ in the water.

A. more fish B. some people

C. some batteries D. the pollution

2.What will the robots do if they find the pollution in the water?

A. They will eat part of it.

B. They will stop working.

C. They will tell people where it is

D. They will take it out to the beach.

3.How long can a battery（電池） in their bodies work each time?

A. For five hours. B. For eight hours.

C. For twelve hours. D. For one day.

4.The five robot fish cost（花費） about _______ dollars altogether.

A. 14,500 B. 29,000

C. 145,000 D. 1,450,000

5.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The robot fish can eat anything in the water.

B. The robot fish need to be opearted by people.

C. The robot fish are 1.5 meters long and they look like sharks.

D. The robot fish can go back to the beach when the batteries run down.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了今年科學(xué)家將投放一些機器魚到西班牙附近的海域，以幫助探測水體的污染情況。文章還介紹了這種機器魚的體型構(gòu)造以及性能和制造費用。

1.“These robot fish will help people find out the pollution in the water.”的描述可知，這種機器魚可以幫助發(fā)現(xiàn)水體的污染情況。故選D。

2.短文第二段“It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.”的描述可知，如果機器魚發(fā)現(xiàn)了水體的污染物，它會吃掉一部分。故選A。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段“The robots all have an eight-hour battery ”的描述可知，機器魚體內(nèi)的電池每次可以工作8小時。故選B。

4.四段“There are five robot fish altogether (總共). Each costs (花費) about 29,000 dollars.”的描述可知，5個機器魚總共需要花費145000美元。故選C。

5.5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。聯(lián)系上下文并根據(jù)短文第三段“After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.”的描述可知，選項A、B、C的敘述不符合原文內(nèi)容，故選D。

考點：科普類短文閱讀。
