The International Space Station(ISS) is a science lab in space, where there are six people now. Usually astronauts stay in the ISS for five or six months. Can you imagine how boring it is to live in a tight(紧凑的) space with just five other people for six months CIMON 2, a floating(浮动的) computer, was created to work there for three years to help astronauts. It was sent to the ISS on December 5th, 2019.
CIMON was created with two jobs in mind. One is helping astronauts with tasks. The other is trying to be “someone” astronauts can talk to. It is a robot with a face which was created by the European airplane company, Airbus. It has no arms or legs, but it can move where it needs to go.
Helping astronauts is easy for CIMON—it can see, hear, understand, and speak. Its “mouth” is a loudspeaker that can be used to talk or play music. The brains behind CIMON were provided by IBM, a computer company famous for training computers to understand human speech. CIMON can understand not just what people say, but what they mean. If astronauts ask it for instructions or information, CIMON can answer the astronauts, or use its screen to display pictures or documents(文件), if needed. CIMON also has several cameras, which can take pictures and videos to help astronauts keep records of experiments or other important actions.
The more difficult part of CIMON’s job is being a companion for the astronauts. The first CIMON could understand what people were saying and mastered more than 1,000 sentences, but it was not enough. CIMON 2 has been improved so that it can find out how people are feeling. The creator hopes CIMON will be a calm, trusted friend that astronauts can talk to when they don’t want to talk with others. This could be especially important if tension(紧张气氛) in a group of astronauts causes them to stop thinking clearly.
1．The underlined “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A．a science lab B．ISS C．an astronaut D．CIMON 2
2．According to the passage, CIMON 2 probably looks like ________.
A．B.CD
3．The advantage of CIMON 2 is that it can ________, compared with the first one.
A．take pictures and videos B．understand people’s feelings
C．show its feelings freely and clearly D．say and play music
4．From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A．it is boring for astronauts to stay with a robot
B．more CIMONs will be sent to the ISS to help astronauts
C．CIMON is expected to help astronauts make good decisions
D．CIMON need to help astronauts sweep the floor
5．The best title for the passage is ________.
A．CIMON 2 Reached the ISS Successfully
B．Meet CIMON 2, a “Floating” Space Robot
C．CIMON 2 Makes Space Travels More Interesting
D．CIMON 2 Understands People’s Feelings
