2024-2025学年（上）资阳八年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或者中文。

Robot scientists say that one-year-old human babies have better movement (动作) skills than robots do. Let’s take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids. 1.但是他们对机器人来说不容易。

Picking things up is not easy. 2.If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil and look at its distance (距离). Then we move our hands to it. 3.A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Calculating the distance is not easy. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.

If someone drops you in a new building, you might feel a little lost. 4.But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. You will not get stuck (困住的) in a corner. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on floors. This is because it’s hard for them to understand spaces, such as walls. Scientists need to train them with lots of data to learn this.

“Common sense (常识)” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of it, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot. A robot may turn the cup upside down. 5.它可能会握住杯子烫的部分。 Scientists tried to teach robots common-sense rules. Maybe they just need more time to learn.

The report is from a company. It asked experts(专家) on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things.

There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment.

27、   When I was very young, I wanted to become a veterinarian (兽医) one day, because I loved animals very much, especially dogs. But it was a pity that there was no room in my adult life for a dog.
