Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance.”可知，許多研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，戴眼鏡的人被視為更聰明、更勤奮、更誠實(shí)，眼鏡使他們看起來更溫和，許多律師利用這個(gè)想法來幫助他們贏得官司，可知，一些律師讓他們的當(dāng)事人在法庭上戴眼鏡是因?yàn)榇魃涎坨R有助于塑造一個(gè)道德的形象，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only.

Europe39。s biggest online takeaway food pany Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month. Nobody has ever done deliveries with landbased robots, said Allan Martinson, the chief operating officer of Starship. The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate (確定方向). Instead of a person arriving at their door, customers could find themselves receiving a notification on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier. Put the code in, the robot opens up, and there39。s your food, said David Buttress, chief manager of Just Eat. The robot, which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs 163。 1 to transport within 3 miles, pared with the 163。3 to 163。6 it costs for a human courier. To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passersby. They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world, including London and Tallinn, Estonia. An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets. The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction, said Martinson. Another significant fear was that people would disrupt (擾亂) the robots, or try to steal them and their contents. To prevent this, the robot is fitted with nine cameras, two way audio, and movement sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground. And it opens only with a passcode provided to the customer via a notification. It39。s much easier to shoplift than it is to steal a robot, said Martinson.（1）Which of the following can replace the underlined word courier in Paragraph 2?

A.Great Improvement of Just EatB.Global Trend of Food CompaniesC.New Robots to Move on the roadD.Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway Drivers【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）C（4）A（5）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了倫敦一家食品速遞公司宣布未來會(huì)使用自動(dòng)駕駛機(jī)器人送餐，目前該公司在幾個(gè)城市都測試了陸地快遞機(jī)器人送餐服務(wù)。未來送貨機(jī)器人可能會(huì)取代人類送快遞。 （1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“Your next Saturday night takeaway could be brought to you by a robot after a major food delivery pany announced plans to use automated vehicles to transport meals.”可知，一家食品速遞公司宣布計(jì)劃使用自動(dòng)駕駛機(jī)器人送餐，你下周六晚上點(diǎn)的外賣，說不定就由機(jī)器人送達(dá)。所以這個(gè)詞是“投遞”的意思，故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate(確定方向). Instead of a person arriving at their door, customers could find themselves receiving a notification(通知) on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier.”可知，Starship機(jī)器人依靠全球定位系統(tǒng)和照相機(jī)找到路。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The robot, which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs ￡1 to transport within 3 miles, pared with the ￡3 to ￡6 it costs for a human courier.”可知，機(jī)器人送餐要比人送餐更便宜。故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“Another significant fear was that people would disrupt(擾亂) the robots, or try to steal them and their contents.”另一重大擔(dān)憂就是擔(dān)心人們干擾機(jī)器人，或是想把機(jī)器人及其所運(yùn)物品偷走，可以推斷出，擔(dān)憂機(jī)器人運(yùn)送的安全問題。故選A。 （5）考查主旨大意。縱觀全文，特別是第一段中的“Your next Saturday night takeaway could be brought to you by a robot after a major food delivery pany announced plans to use automated vehicles to transport meals.”一家食品速遞公司宣布計(jì)劃使用自動(dòng)駕駛機(jī)器人送餐，你下周六晚上點(diǎn)的外賣，說不定就由機(jī)器人送達(dá)?？芍?，D項(xiàng)Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway Drivers作為標(biāo)題最合適。選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Orthopedic pillows are not just like any other ordinary pillow. These products are specially made to fulfill a specific function. People buy orthopedic pillows for several reasons.
