Question

【題目】beep …beep … There went the bell! Robbie opened his eyes. He had been sitting in the room for a whole day, and now it was time for him to do something.

Robbie looked out of the window. It was still snowing heavily and there was ice on the window. It was another cold day. Robbie was told to turn the heat on before the family got home. And he_______.

Then Robbie was told to do some cleaning work at once. It was an easy job for him, but a tough one for his master, Helen. He kept on working until every room was clean and tidy.

For now, he had to cook supper for the family.

The first thing Robbie did was to get the big pot(鍋) in the kitchen. Then he put some water in the pot and put it on the stove. He used one of his hands to cut up a chicken and added the pieces to the water to make a good soup. Then he got some tomatoes, cabbages and carrots to make a vegetable salad.

At ten past eight he laid the table. Then he put some bread, the chicken soup and the salad on it. What a sweet smell! The moment he turned on the lights, the whole family came home.

“The soup smells great, Victor,” said Helen. “You really know how to tell Robbie what to do.”

Robbie is one robot that really saves the family a lot of work.

【解析】

短文描述了機(jī)器人Robbie在主人到家之前所做的各種家務(wù)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)本文最后一句Robbie is one robot that really saves the family a lot of work．可知Robbie是一個(gè)機(jī)器人；故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)上一句：Robbie was told to turn the heat on before the family got home．Robbie被要求在家人回家之前打開暖氣，可以推斷出此處應(yīng)該是：它做了這件事情，即打開暖氣；故應(yīng)該選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。從"At ten past eight he laid the table．"可知他是八點(diǎn)過(guò)十分?jǐn)[好了桌子；故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第二句It was still snowing heavily and there was ice on the window，應(yīng)是雪天不是雨天，排除A；從短文這幾句中都可看出，他的做的都是按要求完成的："was told to turn the heat on""was told to do some cleaning work""had to cook supper""You really know how to tell Robbie what to do"，因此也排除B；根據(jù)第三段第二句It was an easy job for him，but a tough one for his master，可知機(jī)器人在家做清潔工作是很容易的，排除C；從機(jī)器人做家務(wù)的種種出色的表現(xiàn)，可以推測(cè)出當(dāng)維克多和海倫到家的時(shí)候他們應(yīng)該感覺(jué)很舒服；故選D。
