1. D 细节题，在原文中找到与Kismet相关的句子是第二段第三句Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it can show human emotions

　　2. C 细节题，在原文中寻找与Cog相关的句子，Cog, another android invented by the MIT, imitates the action of a mother.答案就出来了。

　　3. D 文章中没有提到15 years以后，只有2020这个词比较接近实际情况，第三段第一句The optimists say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids with brains similar to those of an adult human being.因此可以认为15年后可以造出像人类一样会思考的机器人。

　　4. B 细节题，抓住题干中的in future找到倒数第二段话的In the future, robots like Robonaut, a humanoid invented by NASA, will be doing dangerous jobs, like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. 采取排除法就能直接选出答案。

　　5. C 观点题，针对作者观点的，我们通常要通过一些主观的语句推理，本篇的作者观点就在最后一句 Perhaps we should not exaggerate （夸大） the importance of technology, but one wonders whether, in years to come, we will still be falling in love, and whether we will still feel pain. Who knows?由此可见作者并没有对科学技术持怀疑态度，而是认为对科技应该保持谨慎的态度，提出的一些担忧也是在常理之内，并没有反对。

　　6. D 细节题，文章第一段话就提到A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner's voice could become an important weapon in the fight against fraud （欺骗），可见有声信用卡的重要性体现在防欺骗。

　　7. B 细节题，model card是应该抓住的关键词，第三段话的the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card, but it is still about three times as thick. The company now plans to make it thinner.说明了这个样本的问题在于太厚了。

　　8. D 细节题，抓住关键词earlier card定位在第五、六段话，通过对比选项，第六段最后一句The ID code changes each time the card is used in a pre-ordered sequence that only the server knows.的意思和选项A相符合，所以正确答案就是A.

　　9. A 细节题，关键词是new voice card，倒数第二段话，这段话讲到了新的有声信用卡的特别之处，它也是需要口令的，但是不同的必须经过声音验证，而这个声音是主人的声音，盗贼很难模仿。

　　10.B 推断题 最后一段中的To maximize battery life, the electronics are only switched on when the card is being used.可见为了省电，只能在用卡的时候电子系统才运行，所以电池的寿命方面还有待改进。

　　11.D 第一段的mirror出现在The school bus is a mirror of the community，further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. 这里的mirror就是reflect的名词形式reflection。

　　12.A 细节题，第四段This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company，告诉了答案。

　　13.C 关于Bruce Hardy的说法错误的是，我们还是定位在第四段话的第三句话，也就是Larry Althouse的话中，通过对比就知道C项的说法是错误的。

　　14.B Althouse Bus Company 是由谁建立的，倒数第二段的第二句My grandfather started the business with one bus.标明是由说话者的祖父建立的，而说话者就是Althouse further，这在Althouse further adds中体现出来了。

　　15.D 最后一段话体现了Althouse Bus Company公司对于建立良好的关系是相当重视的。Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations.是最好的体现。
