语篇解读在小学的时候，GlennCameron看到朋友缺少一只手，内心很受触动，他现在已经制造出了可以由人脑控制的机械手来帮助朋友。

1．WhichversionoftheartificialhanddoesDexibelongto?

A．Thefirst. B．Thesecond.

C．Thethird. D．Thefourth.

C[考查推理判断。Dexi出现在第二段，但本题要结合上下文内容来推理才能得到答案。根据第一段的尾句和第二段的开头可知，Dexi是Roger现在使用的机械手版本。第三段谈到Cameron制作的第一个机械手是3D打印出来的，但他不满意。于是，他花费时间制造了第二个版本的机械手，这个版本比第一个要好。但他继续研发，于是便有了第三代机械手——Roger现在使用的Dexi。]
