In our lives we can see more and more robots in different places. They are helpful and do lots of things. They can not only work indoors, but also outdoors. They can even do tasks that nobody wants to do.
One special robot can help in fast-food restaurants. At first, the robot only made burgers. But workers thought it could do more. Now, the robot can make many kinds of food like French fries and fried onions. It works faster than people because it can do more tasks at the same time. So it saves a lot of time. Also, the robot knows exactly when the food is ready. Workers are happy that they don't have to do so much work, especially at night.
Another special robot can even do tasks that are difficult or dangerous. It is so big that it can carry up to 40 kilogrammes and reach heights of up to ten metres. It helps workers fix railway lines. Since electricity(电) can put workers in danger and even cause falls sometimes, the robot can help them solve these problems and make their work much safer.
These unusual robots seem to be doing good jobs, but they still need help from people. People control robots with a computer, a remote control(遥控器) or a VR headset(虚拟现实头盔). Scientists say robots can help in more places and play a more important part in the near future.
1. Why can the special robot in fast-food restaurants work faster than people?
A. Because it is big.
B. Because it is tall.
C. Because it is heavy.
D. Because it can do more tasks at the same time.
2. What does the underlined word "fix" mean?
A. Replace.
B. Change.
C. Repair.
D. Discover.
3. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. There will be fewer robots in our homes to do good jobs.
B. These special robots can't work without people's help.
C. People can ask the robots to do all things.
D. Robots can't do tasks that nobody wants to do.
4. What's the best title for the passage?
A. The Unusual Robots
B. The Fastest Robots
C. The Biggest Robots
D. The Smallest Robots

答案：本文主要介绍了当今有很多不同寻常的机器人在做不同的工作。
1－4 DCBA
1－4 DCBA
解析：
【分析】
做阅读理解题需先通读全文把握大意，再根据题目关键词定位原文找答案。第1题，根据题干“快餐店机器人工作更快的原因”定位到第二段，找到对应原因；第2题，结合划线词所在句的上下文语境推断词义；第3题，依据第四段关键句进行推理；第4题，梳理全文核心内容确定主旨。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：定位原文第二段“It works faster than people because it can do more tasks at the same time.”，可知机器人更快的原因是能同时做更多任务，对应选项D。
2. 词义猜测题：划线词所在句为“help workers fix railway lines”，结合上下文机器人承担危险工作，可推断fix意为“修理”，对应选项C。
3. 推理判断题：第四段首句提到“they still need help from people”，由此可推断机器人不能脱离人的帮助，对应选项B。
4. 主旨大意题：全文围绕不同用途的特殊机器人展开，核心是介绍“不寻常的机器人”，对应选项A。
【答案】
