低了病人對于護(hù)士沒有足夠時間照顧他們的不滿。

【解答】(1)D.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Somehospitalsareusingrobotsformedicalassistance.Robotnurses

performavarietyoftaskssuchasdeliveringmedicine,foodandlaboratorysamplestosickroomsandtaking

awaywaste.Patientsaren'ttreatedbyrobots，asthisisstilldonebymedicalstaff.Theideaistoemployrobots

totransportsuppliesbetweendepartments.(一些醫(yī)院正在使用機(jī)器人進(jìn)行醫(yī)療救助。機(jī)器人護(hù)士執(zhí)行各種

任務(wù)，如將藥品、食品和實驗室樣品送到病房，并帶走廢物。病人不是由機(jī)器人治療的，因為這仍然是

由醫(yī)務(wù)人員完成的。這個想法是利用機(jī)器人在部門之間運(yùn)輸物資。)可知機(jī)器人護(hù)士減輕了人類護(hù)士的

工作，可以和患者相處更長的時間。故選D。

(2)C.推理判斷題。根據(jù)戈線詞所在句子Totheoverloadedmedicalstaff,thenewrobotsareundoubtedly

aknightinshiningarmour.”(對于超負(fù)荷的醫(yī)護(hù)人員來說，這些新機(jī)器人無疑是一位身穿閃亮盔甲的騎

土。")可知，"aknightinshiningarmour"意為"愿意幫忙的人”。A.Someonefullofimagination充滿想象

的人；B.Someonepopularwithpatients受病人歡迎的人；C.Someonealwaysreadytoofferhelp樂于提供

幫助的人；D.Someonegraduatingfrommedicalcollege畢業(yè)于醫(yī)學(xué)院的人。故選Co

(3)B.觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段TheTUGsallownursestospendmoretimefocusingonpatient

care.Nursesatisfactionhasimproved(TUGs讓護(hù)士們有更多的時間專注于患者護(hù)理。護(hù)士滿意度有所提

高河知作者對機(jī)器人護(hù)士的態(tài)度是有熱情的。A.Suspicious懷疑的;B.Enthusiastic有熱情的；C.Indifferent

不以為然的；D.Cautious謹(jǐn)慎的。故選B。
