They have the ability to change their surroundings and respond to the world around them based on their actions.”可知,机器人与其他机器的不同之处在于它们与世界的互动方式,它们可以根据自己的行动对周围的世界做出反应,由此可知,机器人与其他机器的不同之处在于它们对世界做出反应的方式。故选A项。 2.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中“By the mid-2030s, business network PwC expects that robots will have automated up to 30% of occupations.
