空中课堂课时跟踪练二I.阅读理解:A delightfullooking robot called MEDi, or Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence, is being used to help make doctors’ visits less painful.The Alerta Children’s Hospital in Canada purchased four of the MEDi robots earlier this year. The bionic (能力超人的) friends hang out with children in the waiting room and also accompany them during different procedures, according to RxRobots, the group that created MEDi. The MEDi’s purpose is to help children cope with pain and reduce their stress. The robots have produced real results. According to a study done at the hospital, kids who interact with a MEDi robot reportedly experience 50 percent less pain during medical procedures than those who do not. “Parents told us that when they left the hospital, their children said almost nothing about the needle and told everyone about the robot,” Tanya Beran, founder and chief scientific officer at RxRobots, told CNBC of MEDi’s success at the children’s hospital.The twofoottall robots can relieve patients’ anxiety by telling stories or playing games with the kids. MEDi robots are also programmed to speak several different languages, and are equipped with facial recognition capabilities (能力). The robots can interact with the children during various types of procedures like blood tests. Not only do the robots comfort the children, but they also make the kids more willing to work with medical staff.“Our research shows that when children interact with MEDi robots, they are more cooperative in the procedure,” Beran said. “This means that the procedure is completed more quickly, resulting in greater health care efficiency (效率).” Beran said that MEDi robots are also a hit with parents. “Knowing that there is something out there that eases the stress, anxiety and sometimes traumatic (创伤的) experiences, is great,” Sheila Sousa, the mother of an 8yearold patient said.1.MEDi robots are mainly used to ________.A.help foreign patients communicate with doctorsB.assist doctors in completing medical proceduresC.take kids to the hospital if their parents are busyD.make kids feel less pain during medical procedures2.The underlined word “relieve” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A.cause B.reduceC.increase D.remove3.We can learn from the passage that MEDi ________.A.is badlooking B.is one foot tallC.can recognize faces D.can only speak English4.Where does the passage probaly come from?A.A travel guide.B.A science magazine.C.A book review.D.A storybook.Ⅱ.阅读七选五I love having something to look forward to.
