52. What do we learn about the robot Terapio?
- A. It has been put to use in many Japanese hospitals.
- B. It provides specific individualized care to patients.
- C. It does not have much direct contact with patients.
- D. It has not revolutionized medical service in Japan.
答案：C
答案句：Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items, and retrieve records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.
参考译文：丰桥技术科学大学开发了Terapio，一种可以查房、运送药物和其他物品以及检索记录的机器人医疗推车。它跟随特定的个人，如医生或护士，他们可以用它来记录和访问患者数据。这种机器人可能会成为首批在医院使用的机器人之一，因为它与患者的接触相当少。
定位线索：题干“What do we learn about the robot Terapio”→答案句取自第2段“Terapio...has fairly minimal patient contact”；文中“minimal patient contact”对应选项C“does not have much direct contact with patients”。
解析：题干问Terapio的特点，答案句最后一句明确指出它“has fairly minimal patient contact”（与患者接触相当少），选项C“does not have much direct contact with patients”是同义转述。选项A“已在许多日本医院使用”文中只说“will likely be one of the first to be implemented”，是将来可能，未成事实；选项B“提供个性化护理”文中说它跟随医生或护士，并非直接护理患者；选项D“未革新日本医疗服务”文中未提及。
54. What is one special feature of the robot Actroid F?
- A. It interacts with patients just like a human companion.
- B. It operates quietly without patients realizing its presence.
- C. It likes to engage in everyday conversations with patients.
- D. It uses body language even more effectively than words.
答案：A
答案句：On the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions.
参考译文：在不太可爱、更吓人的一面是Actroid F，它非常像人，以至于一些患者可能不知道区别。这个会话机器人伴侣的眼睛里有摄像头，使其能够跟踪患者，并在互动中使用适当的面部表情和身体语言。
定位线索：题干“What is one special feature of the robot Actroid F”→答案句取自第4段“so human-like that some patients may not know the difference”和“use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions”；文中“human-like”和“conversational robot companion”对应选项A“interacts with patients just like a human companion”。
解析：题干问Actroid F的特殊特征，答案句指出它“so human-like”且是“conversational robot companion”，能像人类伴侣一样与患者互动，选项A“interacts with patients just like a human companion”是对此的同义转述。选项B“安静运行不让患者察觉”文中说患者可能“not know the difference”，但这是因外观像人，并非因安静；选项C“喜欢与患者日常对话”文中说“conversational”但未提“likes”；选项D“身体语言比语言更有效”文中未比较。
55. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
- A. Doctors and surgeons will soon be laid off.
- B. The robotics industry will soon take off.
- C. Robots will not make nurses redundant.
- D. Collaboration will not replace competition.
答案：C
答案句：It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses (though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off). Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the integration of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.
参考译文：重要的是要注意，机器人护士不决定治疗方案或做出诊断（尽管机器人医生和外科医生可能不远了）。相反，它们执行常规和繁重的任务，使护士能够腾出时间照顾有即时需求的患者。这是一个行业，机器人的整合似乎将导致协作，而不是替代。
定位线索：题干“What can we infer from the last paragraph”→答案句取自末段“robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment”和“integration of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement”；文中“not replacement”对应选项C“Robots will not make nurses redundant”。
解析：题干要求从末段推断，末段明确说机器人护士“perform routine and laborious tasks”，让护士“attend to patients with immediate needs”，且“integration of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement”，即机器人不会取代护士，选项C“Robots will not make nurses redundant”是对“not replacement”的推断。选项A“医生和外科医生很快被解雇”文中说“robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off”，但未说解雇；选项B“机器人行业将很快起飞”文中未提及；选项D“协作不会取代竞争”与原文“collaboration, not replacement”不符，偷换概念。
