答案

小题1:B小题2:B小题3:C小题4:C

解析

文章介绍了一些最新的发明。小题1:细节题。根据第二部分第2行The Martin Jetpack allows its operator to fly 8,000 feet into the air.说明他发明的飞机飞行的高度不够。故B正确。且下一句还说明他的飞机携带的燃料太少，飞行的时间也很少。小题2:推理题。根据文章第三部分1,2行The EMIEW2 robot is the perfect office helper. Need a document delivered? No problem说明这种机器人是非常好的办公室帮手。故应该很受现代各个公司的欢迎。故B正确。小题3:细节题。根据后三部分的Green Machine中的Say goodbye to gasoline! The AirPod car runs on air power. That means this car won’t pollute the environment. 和Beef Power中的All aboard the beef train! Amtrak’s Heartland Flyer runs partly on fuel that is made from cow fat.以及最后一部分的EMILY is powered by a tiny electric pump and operated by remote control.说明这三种都是环保的，故C正确。小题4:细节题。根据最后一部分的Her inventor, Tony Mulligan, says that’s 15 times as fast as human lifeguards!说明这些机器人可以用作救生员。故C正确。点评：这篇阅读理解细节题居多，要求考生仔细阅读全文，做好相应的标志，以提高阅读的效率和速度
