2015学年四川成都七中实验学校八年级12月月考英语试卷（带解析）

1. 阅读下面短文，补全表格中所缺的住处。（共10小题，每小题1分；计10分）
Robots are coming into every aspect (方面 ) of our lives. There are mainly three kinds of robots.
There are factory robots, like the robots that put together parts in the car factory. Then there are the service robots that do jobs for humans, like Roomba, the robot household cleaner that is popular in the US now. The third kind is field (领域) robots, for example, some robots are made to work in some hard environments and many robots are already servicing our mines (矿藏) and farms.
"Many people think that robots should look like human, but that's wrong. Most robots are built into machines. Anything that can move by itself is a robot." says a robot specialist (专家) Jonathon Roberts.
Already we have tractors (拖拉机) that can drive themselves, underground trucks that can work by themselves for mining, and robots that can work underwater. Starbug, an underwater robot, is widely used (广泛使用 ) now. It can go into water on its own and come back after collecting information, and it has cameras to take pictures. It only weighs about 25kg, so one person can take it and put it in a suitcase.
Claude Sammut is a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales. He says the future for field robots is great. For example, people are making 'smarter' cars. Some car factories are trying to make special cars that can drive itself when the driver falls asleep.
