📖 題組：
Despite the turn to insects in mainstream robotics, research on android robots continues. 32 . Others are “social,” or “Companion” robots, designed for home used by elderly and/or disabled people. These are intended less as fetch-and-carry slaves than as autonomous personal assistants. Some appear “cute,” having long eyelashes and seductive voices. They can make eye contact with users, and recognize individual faces and voices. Also, they can—up to a point—hold unscripted conversations, interpret the user’s emotional state, and generate “emotional” responses (human-like facial expressions and/or speech patterns) themselves. Although some robots are large (for handling heavy loads and/or traversing rough ground), most are small. Some—for use inside blood vessels, for example—are very small. 33 . Whenever multiple robots are involved in a task, questions arise about how (if at all) they communicate, and how that enable the group to do things that couldn’t be done individually. 34 . Such species exemplify “distributed cognition” in which knowledge (and appropriate action) is spread across entire group rather than being available to any one animal. If robots are extremely simple, their developers may speak of “swarm intelligence,” and analyse cooperative robot systems as cellular automata (Cas). 35 . The overall pattern of a CA’s behaviour may be surprisingly complex. The basic analogy is living cells cooperating in multicellular organisms. The many AI versions include the flocking algorithms used for crowds of bats or dinosaurs in Hollywood animations. (from Margaret A. Boden, *Artificial Intelligence: A Very Short Introduction*, 93-94)

32.
- A For answers, roboticists often consider social insects, like ants and bees
- B Often, they are sent to work in large numbers
- C Some are mere toys
- D A CA is a system of individual units, each taking one of a finite number of states by following simple rules, which depend on the current state of its neighbours

請觀察空格後方那一句起始的「Others...」，在英文邏輯中，當我們用這個詞來介紹第二種分類時，通常前一句話會用哪一個特定的量詞來開啟第一種分類的介紹呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文句間的邏輯對應關係，選出正確答案 (C)，展現了非常敏銳的閱讀洞察力。
文本結構的對稱美學
這道題目的核心在於代名詞與結構的銜接。請注意空格後的下一句話是以「Others are ‘social,’ or ‘Companion’ robots...」（其他則是「社交型」或「陪伴型」機器人）作為開頭。在英文寫作邏輯中，當作者想要對某一類群（此處為人形機器人 android robots）進行分類說明時，最經典的架構就是 Some... Others...。選項 (C) "Some are mere toys"（有些僅是玩具）正好提供了這個對稱結構的開端，讓全文從「玩具」過渡到更進階的「社交機器人」，論述極其自然流暢。
