听一篇短文，回答16~20小题。

Lucky-1 is the robot produced by our company. It is designed to work both in the hospital and in your house. It is strong enough to lift patients off the ground without hurting them. It can also pick up and hold very tiny things. The robot can help the growing population of old and weak people who live in their own homes. What else can Lucky-1 do? It can clean floors, and look after patients. Our next task is to make it safer and let it do more things for its owner. We hope that Lucky-1 will go on sale in ten years. But people who want to buy the robot should start saving money now. The price will be about two hundred thousand dollars! 1~5 BCBAC 6~10 ABBCA 11~15 ACCAC 16~20 ACCBB Ⅱ.21. C 由语境可知选C，a little water一点水，表示肯定。

22. D ask, teach和tell后都接带to的动词不定式作宾补；have后接省略to的不定式作宾补。 由cook前没有to可知选D。

23. C 本题考查enough的用法。enough修饰形容词或副词时，enough要后置，所以排除A、 D。由语境知空格所在处句意为“她足够大能自己穿衣服了”，故本题选C。 24. B 本题考查现在进行时态。由look“看”可知，本句要用现在进行时态。句意为“看！一些孩子正在河里游泳。让我们加入他们吧”。故选B。

25. B in order to表示目的，意为“为了”，后接动词原形。 26. B 主语computers与谓语use是逻辑上的被动关系，所以只能考虑B、D两项；in the future是表示将来的时间状语，应用将来时态，故只有B项符合题意。 27. C 答句句意为“我也不喜欢它”。否定句中“也”用either表示。

28. B 此题考查宾语从句。宾语从句的语序应为陈述语序，排除A、D两项。live为不及物动词，后接宾语时需带介词。故选B。

29. C 此处句意为“这个机器人需要一个月检查一次”。need doing sth.用主动形式表示被动含义，故选C。

30. C forget to do sth.“忘记做某事（表明还没做）”；forget doing sth.“忘记做过某事（表明已经做了）”；take sth. with sb.随身携带某物。句意为“不要忘记随身带把伞，天要下雨了”。

31. B need to do sth.需要做某事。 32. D 本题考查情景交际用语。由题意：“你的旅行怎么样？”“棒极了，我希望再次去那

儿。”知，选D。

33. B 第一个分句主语是事，用interesting修饰; be interested in“对……感兴趣”，故选B。

34. B （not）as...as结构中，两个as之间用形容词或副词的原级。

35. C neither...nor连接两个并列主语时，其谓语动词的单复数遵循就近原则。 Ⅲ. 36. B 由句意“机器人能帮助做家务和一些令人十分不愉快的工作”知选B项。 37. C however意为“然而，不过”。

38. D take作“花费”讲时，常用it作形式主语。由句意“……他们一致认为这可能需要花费数百年的时间”知选D项。

39. A look like “看起来像”；look at “看”；look for “寻找”；look up “查询”。句意为“科学家们正努力使机器人看起来像人，并和我们做相同的事情”。故选A项。

40. B 由but知詹姆斯·怀特不同意上述观点。disagree 意为“不同意，不赞成”。 41. B 空格处所在的句子与下句“对一个孩子来说……是容易的”形成对比关系，比较机器人与人类的不同，故选B项。
