三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
When disasters strike, sometimes rescuers can’t get into broken buildings. That’s when robots come into play.
Now, international research at Disaster City near Texas A&M may eventually save lives worldwide. In dark and dusty places, these American and Japanese researchers are at home. They’re creating the next generation of search and rescue robots.
“We’re seeing the mobility change to more pneumatic (气动的) types, where you’ve got very small robots like snakes,” says Doctor Robin Murphy. She runs the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue at Texas A&M University. Murphy has first-hand seen the destruction after natural disasters.
“It’s just incredible. As a scientist, it breaks your heart because you can see the possibilities for the technology, which makes a difference to those people whose lives are greatly affected and whose families don’t know what to do to solve the problem,” says Murphy.
This pile of small stones at Disaster City might not look like much, but to scientists and researchers it’s exactly what they need to see how these robots will perform when real disasters happen. When buildings fall down suddenly like they did during a severe earthquake in New Zealand in February, it’s critical (关键的') for rescuers to find survivors in the debris. The rescue work can be dangerous.
“Just like snakes can pass through all sorts of crowded places, this robot can go where other robots just can’t,” says Doctor Howie Choset. He and his team from Carnegie Melon University are working on one of the most unique (独特的) robots around. This snake-like device can be dropped down a hole just 2 inches wide.
There are several types of robots being tested at the Texas Engineering Extension Service “Disaster City” this week. Results from these experiments will be useful for developing the next generation of rescue robots.
