43、p of its head. Using light and heat sensors (传感器), the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; and if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light.
44、The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without resp
45、onding,” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they havent received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, pl
46、ants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued, “Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency (趋向) towards this? I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share
47、 some of this human tendency and technology with plants.

51、anqi研发的一款可以照顾室内植物的机器人Hexa Plant。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; and if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light.可知,如果室内植物需要更多阳光,Hexa会走到阳光下;如果室内植物变得很热,Hexa会走到避免阳光直射的地方。故推知Hexa可以帮助室内植物获得适量
52、的阳光。故选C项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014.可知,机器人是因为Sun Tianqi在2014年看到一颗向日葵在屋子里的黑暗处死去才开发的,故推测本段主要介绍机器人开发的原因。故选D项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中I do not know the answer, but I would
53、love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move.可知,Sun Tianqi想尝试与植物分享一些人类的趋势和技术。在机器人的帮助下,植物可以体验移动。故选C项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。说明文的主旨大意,一般在首段或者尾段。根据文章主要内容,尤其是第一段If you have ever been disappointed because you dont have a goo
54、d gardener, the clever robot may one day become the helper of your indoor plants.可知,如果你因为没有好花园而失望,那么将来聪明的机器人会成为你室内植物的助手。由此可知本文主要讲机器人作为室内植物助手的相关内容。B项An Indoor Plants Helper(一个室内植物助手)可以作为本文标题,故选B项。【点睛】易错分析第1小题What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?A. It helps people do some gardening. B. It waters the
55、 plants through dancing.C. It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight. D. It carries the potted plant with its hands.容易错选为A项,即认为机器人可以帮助做园丁工作。然而根据文章第二段的The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted (盆栽的) plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light
56、and heat sensors (传感器), the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight.可知,机器人的主要作用是把放在它“头顶”的盆栽运入或者运出阳光下,即机器人有运输功能,这项功能不属于园丁工作,故A项错误。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。Thanksgiving Day in the United States is a holiday on the fourth Thursday of Nov
