PAGE 课时分层作业(十五) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Japanese engineer Masaaki Nagumo had always dreamed of operating a robot from“Mobile Suit Gundam”，a popular animation(动画) TV series.It was Nagumos favourite show when he was a child.The series features huge，human-controlled machines in battle. Now Nagumo has made the show come to life.Inspired by the machines，he has built a large robot called LW-Mononofu.The farming machinery company Sakakibara Kikai developed it.The robot is 8.5 meters tall，has two legs and weighs more than seven tons.It has a seating area with devices for the pilot to control the robots arms and legs. The“Mobile Suit Gundam”series inspired movies，video games and more.And Nagumo thought the robot could be popular as well.“I think this can be turned into a business opportunity.”he said. Sakakibara Kikai develops robots and entertainment machines in addition to its main agriculture machinery business.At a price of about $930 an hour，people can rent the machines for childrens birthday parties and other events.The company has created robots of all sizes.There is the almost 3.5-meter-tall Landwalker，the smaller Kids Walker Cyclops，and the MechBoxer boxing(拳击) machine. But the Mononofu stands above them all.It also does more complex movements.It can move its fingers and turn its upper body，and walk forward and backward.However，it moves very slowly—at a speed of less than one kilometer per hour.Although it may be slow，the Mononofu is very powerful.The air gun on its right arm shoots(发射) balls of soft material at 140 kilometers per hour. “As an animation-inspired robot that one can ride，I think this is the biggest in the world，”Nagumo said.But Mononofu might be a bit too large.It is unable to leave the factory without being taken apart because it was built taller than the entrance. 【语篇解读】　语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是科学与技术。受自己幼年时一部热门的动画片的启发，日本工程师Masaaki Nagumo建造了一台大型机器人，而且这台机器人有着很好的商业前景。 1．What inspired Nagumo to create LW-Mononofu?
