The world's first humanlike robot half-marathon(半程马拉松) was held in Beijing on 19 April, 2025. Amazingly, 20 robots joined thousands of human runners in the race.
The robots were different, from the 180-centimetre-tall "Tiangong Ultra" to the 75-centimetre-tall "Little Giant". They had humanlike looks and ran on two legs. Each robot started at a slightly different time so that they would not bump into each other. To give each robot the best chance, each travelled with support workers. Just as human runners needed to get energy from water, the robots were allowed to get new batteries during the race. Companies were also allowed to replace(替换) their robots when they could no longer run.
The first robot to cross the finishing line was Tiangong Ultra. It finished the race in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds, while the winner of the men's race finished in 1 hour, 2 minutes and 36 seconds. To the robots, the most important thing was not to win, but to finish. At last, six of the robots crossed the finishing line.
The race was a success, even for the robots who didn't finish. Their efforts will help their developers improve future humanlike robots. The race also marked the first time in human history that humanlike robots had tried a half-marathon.
However, the marathon also displayed some weaknesses of the robots. They needed people to change their batteries, prevent falls, and even control them. These challenges show hidden problems in the field: behaving like humans requires further work in materials science, storing power and AI learning abilities.
In the future, as AI gets smarter, the gap(差距) between humans and machines will narrow. For China, developing these humanlike robots isn't just about making them run faster—it's about which country can make full use of science and technology to take the lead in the world. And in that marathon, every fall and hard-won step matters.

解析

【分析】
本题是科技类任务型阅读,解题思路为:先通读全文把握主旨(世界首次人形机器人半程马拉松的相关情况),再逐题分析空格所在句子,结合上下文语境、原文细节及固定搭配确定1-8题的恰当单词;第9题需围绕文章主题,用自己的话理解句子含义,表述合理即可。
【解析】
1. 由原文“20 robots joined thousands of human runners in the race”可知,机器人与人类跑者“一起”参赛,故填together;
2. 由原文“The robots were different, from the 180-centimetre-tall... to the 75-centimetre-tall...”可知,机器人尺寸不同,即“不是相同的尺寸”,故填same;
3. 由原文“Each robot started at a slightly different time so that they would not bump into each other”可知,不同时间出发是为了减少碰撞的“风险/可能性”,故填risk(或possibility);
4. 由原文“Companies were also allowed to replace their robots when they could no longer run”可知,当机器人无法运行时,替换是“必要的”,故填necessary;
5. 由原文机器人冠军用时(2小时40分42秒)远长于人类冠军(1小时2分36秒)可知,机器人冠军“远落后于”人类冠军,故填behind;
6. 由原文“At last, six of the robots crossed the finishing line”可知,六个机器人“设法完成”了比赛,manage to do为固定搭配,此处用过去式,故填managed;
7. 由原文“marked the first time in human history”可知,中国“创造了历史”,make history为固定搭配,故填history;
8. 由原文“requires further work in materials science, storing power and AI learning abilities”可知,需改进“储能”,故填power;
9. 结合文章主题,该句意为:在这场马拉松中,机器人的每一次跌倒和每一步来之不易的进步都很重要,因为这些经历有助于推动人形机器人技术的发展,每一个过程都有其价值(表述合理即可)。
【答案】
1. together 2. same 3. risk/possibility 4. necessary 5. behind 6. managed 7. history 8. power 9. Every fall and hard-won step in the marathon is valuable for developing robotic technology, as each contributes to progress.
