思维品质 辩证思维 ①You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world: robot waiters. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver(派送) food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen.
Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you scratch(挠) their heads. Are robot waiters the future? The restaurant industry is trying to answer that.
②Many people think that robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages(短缺). Robots sell well these years. Now there are many of them moving through eating places all over the world.
③“I’m sure this is the future,” said Dennis Reynolds, the owner of a big company. Last year, his restaurant started using a robot. Reynolds said it helped reduce work and improve service.
④However, others think that robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace people. They cannot take orders. They cannot walk up the stairs to different areas of a restaurant like people.
⑤“Restaurants are pretty chaotic(混乱的) places, so it is very hard to add automation(自动化) in a way that is really helpful,” said Craig Le Clair from an advising company.
⑥Robots are becoming more common. In 2021, a robotics company from California showed its service robot. They plan to sell more robots in the USA and other countries by the end of this year. In China, another robotics company started in 2016 in Shenzhen, has put over 56,000 robots to work around the world.
()19. What can robot waiters do in restaurants according to the passage?
a. take orders b. deliver food and drinks c. bring dirty dishes back d. walk upstairs
A. ab B. bc C. cd D. ad
()20. What does the underlined word “replace” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. 选择 B. 帮助 C. 代替 D. 追赶
()21. 新考法 篇章结构 What’s the structure of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1)
A. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ C. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③/④⑤⑥
()22. 语言能力 归纳能力 What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Robot waiters will replace people in the future.
B. Whether robot waiters are the future is not sure.
C. Robot waiters will be better than people in the future.
D. Robot waiters aren’t clever enough to be really helpful.

19. B 细节理解题。根据“They can deliver food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen.”可知，机器人服务员能在餐馆里送食物和饮料，把脏盘子带回厨房。故选B。
20. C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“They cannot take orders. They cannot walk up the stairs to different areas of a restaurant like people.”可知，机器人服务员不能接受点单，他们不能像人一样爬楼梯到餐厅的不同区域，因此可推断应指机器人在代替人类之前还有很长的路要走，replace应意为“代替”。故选C。
21. A 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一段引出机器人服务员这一话题；第二段与第三段主要讲述了一些人认为机器人服务员有助于减少工作量和提升服务；第四段与第五段主要讲述了另一些人认为机器人服务员存在的问题；第六段说明机器人变得越来越普遍。因此结构应为①/②③/④⑤/⑥。故选A。
22. B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要是探讨机器人服务员是不是未来，不同的人对此有不同的意见。故选B。
