Questions are based on the following passage.
Cubes aren"t usually the go-to shape when creating an object that"s meant to move around, but (1)in Switzerland have created one that can do just that—along with a(2)of other surprising talents. Called the Cubli, it measures nearly 6 inches oneach side and can walk around by (3) flipping itself over. Perhaps more impressively, itcan also balance on any of its sides or even just a single corner. As the research team fromETH Zurich"s Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control(4)in a video, the cube caneven remain balanced while a surface is raised up at an angle beneath it.
Though it"s a moving cube, the Cubli still (5) on a series of spinning wheels to getgoing. Three internal wheels angled along a different axis each will spin faster or slower inorder to maintain enough momentum to keep the cube balanced. By quickly(6)a spinningwheel, the cube can also be caused to flip over,(7)allowing it to move around. Theresearchers say that Cubli"s system of spinning wheels is similar to what (8) satellitesout in space, and that other research groups have considered using this technology to buildrobots that could be used to explore other planets.
A group of researchers at MIT later demonstrated another use for(9)like this:allowing a robot to reassemble itself. MIT"s cubes had magnets embedded across theirsides and edges, which let them grip each other and form. different shapes. Though theyweren"t able to balance like the Cubli can, MIT"s "M-blocks" could move much( 10)actually hopping offthe ground when getting around.

请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考解答
正确答案:L
名词辨义题。此处空格所在的句子缺乏主语,而谓语是havecreated,由此可以判断,此处需要填入一个复数名词。备选词汇中只有researchers“研究人员”符合此处语境,故选L。
