Easier said than done however, as while there is a tremendous amount of ongoing research for human prosthetics, there is hardly any for animals. But this Jaipur-based veterinary surgeon did not want to wait around anymore. Dr Tapesh Mathur is credited with making the Krishna Limb, Indias first prosthetic limb for animals. Tapesh has been designing prosthetic limbs for animals since 2015 and to date, has helped 90 animals adapt to using a prosthetic. From design to production, Tapesh does all the work by himself at his home-workshop. He provides the artificial limbs for free. Tapesh said, “I could not bear to see their (the cattles) pain . These animals could not voice their anxiety as humans can, but they feel the pain all the same. They waited helplessly for food or for someone to clean them. And I kept thinking if we can help humans walk again, why cant something similar be done for these animals? Thus I began my research.” Tapesh designed his first prosthetic limb for a two-year-old calf named Krishna, who learnt to walk using the limb. Producing these prosthetic limbs wasnt an easy task initially, and Tapesh required raw material, which was expensive. Polypropylene, which is used for manufacturing prosthetic limbs, is only supplied in quantity by suppliers, and Tapesh had to source it from Mumbai using his own savings. Now, Tapesh designs various prosthetic limbs for different animals. “We generally work with cows, horses, and dogs, but have started receiving applications for other animals as well. Recently, we got a request for a limb for a pet parrot. We are still working on the design.” There are certain steps involved in designing. First, Tapesh takes the necessary measurements, based on which the artificial limb is moulded. The real challenge comes when Tapesh has to visit animals living in remote areas as his patients often cannot be brought to him. Once the prosthetic limb is ready, Tapesh visits the animal and attaches it for free.4. Why does the author ask a question at the beginning of the passage?A. To ask for others favors.B. To show the difficulty in making prosthetic limbs for animals.C. To lay emphasis on the similarities between the two.D. To arouse readers interest in the following topic.5. What can we learn about Dr Tapesh Mathur from paragraph 2 ?A. He has adopted about 90 animals.B. He makes artificial limbs for animals out of curiosity.C. He works with other doctors to produce prosthetic limbs.D. He is the first Indian to make prosthetic limbs for animals.6. How did Dr Tapesh Mathur get raw materials for prosthetic limbs?A. By asking his friends for help.B. By buying them with his own money.C. By borrowing them from companies.D. By turning to the government for help.7. Which of the following can best describe Dr Tapesh Mathur ?A. Selfish and quick-tempered.B. Confident and strong-willed.C. Generous and kind-hearted.D. Honest and well-behaved.【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C【解析】【导语】本文是记叙文。介绍了斋普尔的兽医塔佩什·马瑟博士被誉为“克里希纳假肢”的创造者，这是印度第一个为动物设计的假肢。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“If a human can get a prosthetic limb(假肢), why not an animal? ”（如果人类都能装假肢，为什么动物不能?）可知，本文主要讲述的是设计动物假肢，所以作者在文章开头提出了一个问题目的是为了引起读者对以下话题的兴趣。故选D。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“But this Jaipur-based veterinary surgeon did not want to wait around anymore.

Besides it, other robots have carried out their duties in many unnoticed corners, supporting the event. Following the Olympics success, the outstanding performance of Chinese-made robots at the global sports gala have attracted customers across the world, representing the countrys innovation ability while boosting Chinese peoples pride.Many industry insiders believe that the Beijing Winter Olympics is an “accelerator” for the development of the robotics industry. “In recent years, Chinas robotics industry has made many technological advances. However, before the Winter Olympics, many customers had a wait-and-see attitude toward robot products,” Yang Rui, a director from Gaussian Robotics told the Global Times, noting that with Olympics success, a large number of foreign customers have come to cooperate with the company. According to a report by CCID Consulting, a research institute under the MIIT, in 2020, the market demand for service robots in China saw explosive growth due to the epidemic, with the market size reaching 28.38 billion yuan ($3.7 billion), up 37.4 percent year-on-year. With an aging population and rising labor costs, domestic service robots enjoy huge demand potential with the market size expected to reach 75.18 billion yuan by 2023. Wang Peng, assistant professor at the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence at the Renmin University of China, noted that domestic robot sensors and computing chips are still relying on imports, leading to elevated cost of the highly sophisticated robots. “Chinas robotics industry has seen booming development, but still has a long way to go,” Wang said.8.
