第三题：阅读理解。

Nowadays six Amazon Scout delivery robots are rolled out in a pilot programme in Snohomish County,

Washington. The robots carry meals, groceries and packages to homes and offices in this region just north of

Seattle. They have also appeared on the sidewalks of London, Beijing and other cities and communities worldwide.

These machines must overcome pedestrian legs, naughty dogs and broken pavements, which raise some questions.

These services are gaining attraction as a growing number of city residents expect immediate or scheduled

delivery of just about everything. Between 2017 and 2018 online retail sales in the US increased by 16 per cent. In

the final step of all these deliveries, called the last mile, humans on bicycles, motor scooters ( 小型摩托车) or large

delivery trucks typically deliver packages. All the vehicles compete for space on busy urban streets. “There is an

upward trend in deliveries in all crowded city centres, and if city and state leaders don’t start thinking about

creative solutions like robot deliveries, we can expect even worse traffic jams,” says Paul Mackie, former director

of a research centre for transportation policy in Arlington.

A study by this centre found 73 per cent of delivery vehicles in Arlington were parked outside of authorized

areas, often blocking bike lanes and crosswalks. By moving the last step of deliveries from the road to the sidewalk,

cities could reduce traffic jams and solve the parking problem entirely, Mackie says.

Companies such as Amazon are not developing this delivery technology simply to clear up urban traffic. Self-

driving vehicles and sidewalk robots could cut down last-mile delivery costs in cities by as much as 40 per cent,

according to a 2018 report by a consulting firm. A delivery robot can cost thousands of dollars to manufacture, and

most currently require human management and conservation. But in the long run companies that use autonomous

delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars, the report stated.

1.Why does Amazon introduce delivery robots?

A.To amuse its customers.

B.To avoid pedestrians, dogs and broken pavements.

C.To meet the increasing demand of delivering packages.

D.To confirm the company’s innovation spirit.

2.What does Paul Mackie mean by his words in Paragraph 2?

A.Retail sales in the US increased fast.

B.Deliveries stay steady in all crowded city centres.

C.Regardless of robot deliveries, traffic jams will remain the same.
