efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals,analyzing ground samples,to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans,but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover,robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain,they don't require food or water,and they never need a bathroom. Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars'history. 1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.The development of robots B.The discovery of space exploration C.No robots,no space exploration D.Robots are used in space exploration 2.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true? A.The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans. B.It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except Earth. C.Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars. D.Many different types of robots have explored space successfully. 3.The underlined word"withstand"in paragraph 2 most probably means" A.remain B.bear C.defeat D.develop 4.What is the writer's attitude in this passage?
