However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets e serious messages sometimes.”木偶表演的主題更多的是輕松愉快的而不是嚴(yán)肅的。然而，羅伯特指出木偶表演有時(shí)也傳遞一些嚴(yán)肅的東西。由此可推斷出，木偶表演既是一種娛樂也有一定的教育性。故答案選B。（4）此題屬于細(xì)節(jié)理解中的一一對應(yīng)型。答案與題目在表達(dá)形式和意義上直接吻合，一一對應(yīng)，一目了然。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Roberts39。 interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas.” 羅伯特對木偶的興趣始于圣誕節(jié)時(shí)他收到了一些漂亮的手套木偶。故選C。【點(diǎn)評】夾敘夾議閱讀理解：（1）先敘述自己的某一個(gè)生活經(jīng)歷或見聞，然后真對這一事件發(fā)表自己對生活的看法，或揭示生活的真理。（2）作者先提出一種觀點(diǎn)或看法。然后圍繞這一觀點(diǎn)或看法用具體的事例加以說明，有時(shí)也可能用幾個(gè)事例從不同的側(cè)面來說明。（3）提出一種觀點(diǎn)或見解，然后用某一事例來闡述這一觀點(diǎn)，最后再進(jìn)一步的總結(jié)和升華。 抓住作者要說明的觀點(diǎn)或要闡述的生活哲理是做好這一類型題目的關(guān)鍵，而作者敘述所發(fā)生的事件或生活經(jīng)歷只是為表達(dá)其思想服務(wù)的。5．閱讀理解 Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person pany and helps them remember to take their medicine. That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $ 3milliondollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or ., to Hasbro39。s “Joy for All” robotic The cat has already been for sale for two years. Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “panion” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Researchers at Brown39。s HumanityCentered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most. They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well. Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor. They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars. It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93yearold mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia (癡呆). The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has bee a true panion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater. The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will plete helpful activities and how they will municate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully municate its message. In the end, they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them. By doing so, the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people. （1）What39。s the purpose of the project?
