问题     Scientists in the 1950s proclaimed the robot the brainwave (灵感，灵机) of the future—it would free housewives of drudgery (单调沉闷的工作) and fill factories with tireless work force. But in many ways, the brainwave has been a washout.
    Robots can paint cars, salvage (收集) nuclear fuel and even assist in brain surgery, but they’re still pretty dumb.
    Mr. Reddy says robots are dumb "because we haven’t taken the trouble to put the pieces together, not because we don’t know how. That takes money and time and effort, and we don’t have the money".
    But today robots can recognize forms and shapes and measure distances. They can hear and speak by using computers that recognize thousands of words. Their sensors can detect smoke or fumes. They can move about rolling on wheels or walk with as many as eight legs like a spider on uneven terrain (地面,地带). In addition, they can recognize texture and the force of a movement, such as pressing.
    Many robots have one or two of these abilities to some degree, but creating a competent robot that combines most or all of them has been difficult. Scientists have also found it difficult to match human abilities that most people take for granted such as the finger’s dexterity (灵巧,熟练) or the ability to identify objects.
    "The list of things that robots can do better than humans is much shorter than the list of things robots cannot," says Tom Smith from the Cambridge Mellon Institute.
Which of the following abilities is NOT possessed by robots?
选项 A、Identifying objects.
B、Sense of smell.
C、Moving on flat floor.
D、Recognizing things.
答案A
解析 本题是一道判断是非题。问下面哪种能力机器人还不具备。文章第二段和第四段指出，机器人能油漆汽车，收集核燃料，甚至可以辅助大脑手术，但是，它们还是很笨拙的。但是，目前的机器人能够识别形体，测量距离。它们能够通过可以辨认几千个单词的电脑来进行听和说。它们的传感器能够探测烟雾和气体，能够通过轮子四处移动，也可以像蜘蛛那样，靠多至8条腿在不平坦的地面行走。另外，它们能够辨别质地和运动的力，比如压力。因此，本题的正确答案应是A。
