  Ⅰ.阅读理解

  Robots are common in today's world.They make cars, work in space, and travel into oceans and dangerous environments.And now, scientists at the University of Manchester are using a robot as a laboratory partner.

  The researchers at the university created the robot in 2009 and named it Adam.Although it has a man's name, Adam is not a robot that looks like a human being.It is about the size of a car.Adam was built to do science and make discoveries.Ross King, the leader of the University of Manchester research team, says the robot made an important discovery about yeast (酵母).

  Adam's success as a scientist led to the creation of another robot scientist named Eve.Researchers developed Eve to design and test drugs for tropical (热带的) diseases, which kill millions of people each year.Drug development is slow and costly.Experts say it can take more than 10 years and about $1 billion to discover and develop new medicines.So the University of Manchester developed a low­cost test that shows whether or not a chemical is likely to be made into an effective medicine.

  "Traditionally you have a large collection of possible drugs and you test every single compound (复合物) using robotics as well.You start at the beginning of your library and continue until the end, and stop.So it's not a very intelligent process.Robotics doesn't learn anything as it goes along.Even if it's tested a million compounds, it still doesn't have any expectation of what will happen next when it tests a new compound," Mr.King says.

Mr.King says that Eve is different because the robot learns as it tests different compounds.He says the robot is designed to ignore compounds that it thinks unlikely to be good.It will
