[解析]
(1)细节理解题。根据第二段A concierge robot,meanwhile,was replaced by a human better able to answer important questions about nearby tourist attractions. (服务台职员机器人被一个能够更好地回答有关附近旅游景点的重要问题的人所取代)可知,C选项"A concierge robot. (服务台职员机器人)"不能很好地回答有关景点的问题被取代,符合文意。故选C。
(2)词义猜测题。根据第三段Not surprisingly,the hotel,recognized in 2016 as the world's first robot﹣staffed hotel by Guinness World Records,allured curious visitors from all around the world.Encouraged by the success the hotel s owner,Sawada opened seven additional locations across Japan and announced plans to build at least 50 more. (不出所料,这家酒店在2016年被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为世界上第一家配备机器人的酒店,吸引了来自世界各地的好奇游客。在酒店老板的成功鼓舞下,泽田在日本各地又开设了七家分店,并宣布计划再建至少50家。)可知,酒店老板的成功,鼓舞泽田在日本各地又开设了七家分店,并宣布计划再建至少50家。这表明酒店很受欢迎,客人增多。所以可以推测出"allured"是"吸引"的意思。即这家酒店吸引了来自全球各地的客人。A.attracted吸引;B.relaxed放松;C.thrilled使非常兴奋;D.upset使心烦意乱。故选A。
(3)观点态度题。根据第四段In the end,though,it seems that—as great as robots can be—they're simply not suitable for every role just yet. (然而,最终看来,尽管机器人可能很棒,但它们还不适合每个角色。)可知,作者认为机器人还不适合每个角色。即还不能完全取代人的工作。B选项They couldn't replace humans entirely. (他们无法完全取代人类。)符合文意。故选B。
(4)标题归纳题。根据第一段There are plenty of concerns about robots stealing jobs from hard﹣working,flesh﹣and﹣blood humans.However,Japan's Henna "Strange" Hotel has fired half of its 243 robot staff,because these labor﹣saving machines were causing more problems than they were solving— and requiring humans to come in and fix things as a result.(很多人担心机器人会从辛勤工作、有血有肉的人类手中抢走工作。然而,日本的指甲花"奇怪"酒店已经解雇了其243名机器人员工中的一半,因为这些节省劳动力的机器造成的问题比它们解决的问题还要多,因此需要人类来修理东西。)可知,本文的主旨大意是日本的Henna"Strange"酒店解雇了一半的机器人员工,因为机器人造成的问题比解决的问题更多,需要人类来解决问题。D选项Japanese Hotel Fires Half Its Robot Staff. (日本酒店解雇了一半的机器人员工。)与文章的主旨大意一致。故选D。
