14、 “The Octobot is aminimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft,autonomous robots,”the studys authors wrote.Robots built for precise,repetitive movements in a controlled environment dont do so wellon rough terrains (地形)or in unpredictable conditions. And they
15、 arent especially safe aroundhumans,because theyre made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous totheir users.So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. Theyve takeninspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are

30、早期阶段,但是这种机器人必将更有利于健康与生活质量。5.A解析: 细节理解题。 根据第二段最后一句中的“The Octobot is a minimal system which mayserve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft,autonomousrobots”可知, “Octobot”是一种可以用作软体机器人基础部件的微型系统;据此可知,“Octobot”的特点是柔软,故A项正确。6.D解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,传统机器人无法在崎岖的地形上很好地运行,此外,由于沉重的金属部件,传统机器人可能会对人
31、体产生伤害;据此可知,传统机器人并非总是很好地运行,故D项正确。7.D解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的第二句“Even if engineers build a silicone body, itsstill a grand challenge to construct flexibleversions of essential parts,such as a source of power”可知, 即使工程师利用硅酮制造出了软体机器人的身体, 但是建造柔韧性强的关键部件仍然面临巨大的挑战,比如动力来源;据此可知,制造软体机器人最大的挑战之一是柔韧性强的动力来源,故D项正确。8.B解析: 细节
32、理解题。 根据最后一段第一句中的“lthough soft robotics is still in itsearly stage,it holds great promise for several applications ,such as search and rescue operations andexploration”可知, 尽管软体机器人技术还处于早期阶段, 但它适用于诸如搜索救援和探索等任务,故B项正确。. 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章作者详细介绍了自己所从事的工作飓风追逐者。1G解析:根据上文 I was working for the National Meteoro
