Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
The 20th century witnessed some of the most surprising achievements as far as the field of science and technology is concerned. Among these, the Indians account for a significant share of the pie.
Srinivas Ramanujan (1887—1920)
Ramanujan's great mathematical findings were beginning to be appreciated from 1915 to 1919. But his achievements were to be fully understood much later, well after his death in 1920. For example, his work on highly composite numbers (高合成数) with a large number of factors started a whole new line of researches in the theory of such numbers.
Meghnad Saha (1893—1956)
Meghnad Saha belonged to an outstanding group of Indian scientists whose contributions revolutionized diverse branches of knowledge and earned global recognition. He introduced the teaching of Nuclear Physics in Calcutta University at a time when the world had not even witnessed the impact of Nuclear Energy. Together with S．N. Bose, he made the first English translation of Einstein's papers on relativity.
C. V. Raman (1888—1970)
Raman's discovery that molecules scatter light is known as the Raman effect. It is used to study the internal structure of the molecules. Early in his life Raman carried out and published extensive research on acoustics (声学) and optics (光学). He received the Nobel Prize for his well-known Raman effect in 1930.
Dr. Hargobind Khorana (1922—)
Khorana shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1968 with Marshall W. Nirenberg and Robert W. Holley for cracking (破译) the genetic code. His researches have opened up a new branch called genetic engineering in science. In 1970 he became the Alfred Sloan Professor of Biology and Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he continued his work. Apart from the Nobel Prize, Khorana has won many awards
and honors for his achievement.

B
He has climbed a high mountain, raced the 24-hour motorcycle track in France and even, walked from Tokyo to Kyoto, a distance of 500 km. Now Evolta, Panasonic's 7-inch Humanoid Robot is getting ready for his biggest challenge — the Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项) Championship in Hawaii.
To compete in this exhausting contest, the green & white robot which is small enough to fit on a human palm, will have to swim 2.4 miles in the rough ocean, bike 112 miles across the hot Hawaiian desert and, run a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles in the painfully hot weather.
Given that he is so tiny and powered by rechargeable batteries (充电电池) of Panasonic, he will be allowed some freedom in the way he competes. For one, he will be starting the race on October 23rd, 2011, three weeks following the real event and, while human competitors have at most 17 hours to complete the triathlon, Evolta will be given 7 days, during which his only “breaks” will be to recharge his batteries.
The biggest difference however, will be that unlike a single human body doing all three races, there will be three different “Evolta” robot bodies competing — each built for the specific race. Evolta the swimmer will be equipped with special arms to swim forward. Evolta the biker, will be on a little two-wheeler with training wheels, while Evolta the runner, will be fixed on what looks like a wheel.
In spite of all these advantages, the robot's creator Tomotaka Takahashi believes that the race will be a huge challenge — not only will Evolta have to battle the wind and sun, but also, small road obstacles (障碍) that humans just step over. The water will be even worse thanks to the strong waves, tides and ocean winds. But if he does complete it, Evolta_will_add_another_feather_in_his_cap and just prove the already well-known fact that Panasonic's rechargeable Evolta batteries are indeed the “world's longest-lasting batteries”！
语篇解读：松下设计了一款机器人，它可以爬山、参加摩托车比赛，甚至参加铁人三项的比赛。

5．When competing in the triathlon, Evolta ________.
A．has to finish the competition in 17 hours
B．will be allowed to have a break from time to time
C．will start three weeks earlier than other competitors
D．will have three specially-built bodies for the competition
解析：选D。

细节理解题。

根据第四段“there will be three different ‘Evolta’robot bodies competing — each built for the specific race”可知D项正确。

6．By saying “Evolta will add another feather in his cap”，the author means ________.
A．Evolta will celebrate the victory with a feather cap
B．Evolta will become very famous and attractive
C．Evolta will be awarded with another feather cap
D．Evolta will have another thing to be proud of
解析：选D。

细节理解题。

第一段中提到了Evolta曾经爬过高山，参加过法国24小时摩托车比赛等，如果它在铁人三项上取得成绩的话，它就又有另外一件事可以值得骄傲了。

故选D项。

7．From the text, we can infer that Evolta will take part in the competition to
________.
A．challenge human runners
B．prove the potential of robots
C．market Panasonic's batteries
D．show today's advanced technology
解析：选C。

推理判断题。

根据第三段的“powered by rechargeable batteries(充电电源) of Panasonic”和最后一段的“just prove the already well-known fact that Panasonic's rechargeable Evolta batteries are indeed the ‘world's longest-lasting batteries’”可推测Evolta参加比赛是为了证明松下公司的电池效果从而做市场推广。

故选C项。

8．The text is mainly about a robot ________.
A．using the energy-efficient batteries
B．accomplishing a challenging triathlon
C．winning human athletes for the first time
D．competing in the Ironman Triathlon Championship
解析：选D。

主旨大意题。

本文主要介绍了松下的一款名为Evolta的机器人准备参加铁人三项锦标赛的情况，文中提到了它在比赛过程中可以享有的特权以及它如何参赛等。

故选D项。
