17、s or to perform delicate surgery. Repair crews did not have a way of 2 broken pipes located deep within a high-rise apartment building. However, that“s about to change.

18、 buildmicroscopic machines. These devices promise to 4 change the way we live and work. Micromachines already are 5 . At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, research scientists have designed a 4-inch silicon chip that holds 700 tiny. 6 motors. At Lucas NovaSensor in Fremont, Californ
19、ia, scientists have perfected the world“s first microscopic blood-pressure sensor. Threaded through a person“s blood 7 , the sensor can provide blood pressure readings at the valve of the heart itself. Although simple versions of miniature devices have had an impact, 8 versions are still several yea
20、rs away. Auto manufacturers, for example, are trying to use tiny devices that can sense when to release an airbag and how to keep engines and brakes operating 9 . Some futurists envision nanotechnology (纳米技术) also being used to explore the deep sea in small submarines, or even to launch finger-sized
21、 rockets packed with microminiature instruments. There is an explosion of new ideas and applications. So, when scientists now 10 future machines doing large and complex tasks, they“re thinking smaller than ever before. （分数：25.00）填空项 1:_大学英语六级听力-115 答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Listening Comprehens(总题
