题文

Every year landslides cau 25 to 50 deaths and $2 billion in damage in the United States. And in December, a single event killed more than 2000 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars can help a lot, but it introduces new difficulties becau of dust and loon heavy, dangerous debris from the work. “It’s a quite dangerous job,” says Giorgio Pezzuto of D’ Appolonia, working with eight other companies. Now there may be an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber.“The idea is to operate a machine far away that can do the stabilizing job without a human being near,”says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by a European organization. Engineers say that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. It should be able to climb mountainsides, drill holes and inrt steel bars there. Testing should begin in May.小题1:The underlined word “event” refers to_____A．earthquakeB．debrisC．dustD．landslide小题2:The purpo in writing this text is _____A．to tell people how rious the damage caud by landslides isB．to tell people that nding workers to stabilize mountainsides is a dangerous jobC．to show people how to u a new robotD．to introduce a new robot that can be ud to stabilize mountainsides小题3:What does the robot look like?A．human beingB．spiderC．steel barD．a drill小题4:A landslides cau _____________in damage in the United States Every year .A．25 to 50 deathsB．more than 2000 people died C．$2 billionD．both A and C小题5:The biggest advantage of this product is that____A．it will be faster and cheaper than manual laborB．it can climb mountainsides, drill holes and inrt steel bars there.C．it can do the stabilizing job without human beings nearD．it is like a spider
