Today“ s robot is more than an automatic machine that performs one task again and again. A modern robot is programmed with varying degrees of artificial intelligence，that is，a robot contains a computer program that tells it how to perform tasks associated with human intelligence，such as reasoning，drawing conclusions，and learning from past.A robot does not possess a human shape for the simple reason that a two-legged robot has great difficulty remaining balanced.A robot does，however，move from place to place on wheels and axles(轮轴)that roll and rotate.A robot even has limbs that turn round and move in combination with joints and motors.To find its way in its surroundings, a robot utilizes various built -in sensors.Antennae attached to the robot”s base detect anything they bump into.If the robot starts to shake as it moves on an incline，a gyroscope(陀螺仪)inside it senses the vertical differential .TO determine Its distance from an object and how quickly it will reach the object，the robot bounces beams of laser. light and ultrasonic sound waves off obstructions(障碍物)in its path.These and other sensors constantly feed information to the computer，which then analyzes the information and corrects or adjusts the robots actions.As science and technology advance the robot too will progress in its functions and use of artificial intelligence programs.36 The writer begins the passage by comparingA.a real-life robot with a fictional robot.B.the shape of a human being with a box.C.an imaginary machine with a human.D.a robot with a computer program.37 The word “humanoid” in Paragraph 1 meansA.lacking human feelings.考试大论坛B.lacking human characteristics.C.having a human form and characteristicsD.lacking human intelligence.38 According to the first paragraph，artificial intelligence isA.the unnatural way in which robots move.B.a voiceless，boxshaped machine that performs repetitive tasksC.a computer program that imitates human intellectual processesD.a sensor that detects troubles in a robot.39 The last paragraph suggests that future robots willA.surpass human beings in intelligence.B.be more humanlike in behavior and action.C.use a laser to transmit information.D.will perform very complicated household jobs.40 Another good title for this passage would beA.Robots：Taking the Place of Humans.B.Artificial Intelligence Programs.C.ModernDay Sensors.来源：考试大D.TodayS Robots and How They Function
