D
Almost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white gown, but not the wedding conductor, because she was fixed to her chair.
The nuptials at this ceremony were led by “I-Fairy”, a 4-foot (1.5-meter) tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails (辫子). Sunday's wedding was the first time that a marriage had been led by a robot, according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.
“ Please lift the bride's veil (面纱),” the robot said in a tinny voice, waving its arms in the air as the newlyweds kissed in front of about 50 guests.
The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo, where the I-Fairy wore a wreath of flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away, where a man clicked commands into a computer.
Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world, with the government actively supporting the field for future growth. Industrial models in factories are now standard, but recently Japanese companies are making a push to inject robots into everyday life.
Honda makes a walking child-shaped robot, and other firms have developed them to entertain the elderly or play baseball. Kokoro, whose corporate goal is to “ touch the hearts of the people,” also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and life-like android models that can smile and laugh. The company is a subsidiary (附属公司) of Sanrio Co., which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.
“This was a lot of fun. I think that Japanese have a strong sense that robots are our friends. Those in the robot industry mostly understand this, but people mainly want robots near them that serve some purpose,” said bride Satoko Inoue, 36, who works at manufacturer Kokoro Co.
The I-Fairy sells for about 6.3 million yen ($ 68,000) and three are in use in Singapore, the US and Japan, according to company spokeswoman Kayako Kido.

猜测词义题，需要学生理解其前一句或者后一句的意义，从而对划线部分词义进行猜测。本题考查了学生对关键句子的理解能力。句意：A 指挥者 B 新娘 C机器人D婚礼故选D。
猜测词义题的答案一般在题干的前一句或者后一句。根据第二段“The nuptials at this ceremony were led by “I-Fairy”, a 4-foot (1.5-meter) tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails (辫子). Sunday's wedding was the first time that a marriage had been led by a robot, according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.”可知nuptials对应的词语是marriage，与其意义最相近的是wedding，所以选择D。
把握不住关键信息。
确定题目关键词The robots made in Japan can do，在文章中找到对应部分，回到题目逐一对照。还需注意的是题干中的except，意为“除了”，本题考查了学生提取细节能力。句意：A 使老人开心， B 打棒球， C 照顾孩子， D 大笑。故选C。

Kokoro, whose corporate goal is to “ touch the hearts of the people,” also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and life-like android models that can smile and laugh.”可知，机器人可以使老人开心，也可以打棒球，还可以微笑或者大笑。所以选择C。
