What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories dont yet ______ for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about ______they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, dont. In fact,computers dont ______ have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer ______is to be a model of story understanding ,it should also read for a purpose.
Of course ,people have several goals that do not make ______ to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide ______order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to ______a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.
However ,these physiological and social goals give ______to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find ______ about the name of a restaurant which ______ the desired type of food ,how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to ______ information or knowledge, what we are calling ______ goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer ______ want to find out the location of a restaurant ,and read a guide in order to do so ______ the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not ______out of hunger in the case of the computer,it might well arise out of the goal to learn more about restaurants.

答案与题解:
1. C 此处考查对固定搭配的掌握情况,只有account能与for 搭配,意为解释,其他三个选项的词都是及物动词,不与介词搭配。
2. C 分析全句,此处应填一个宾语从句的引导词,从句中缺少宾语,故应填 what ,此句意为去了解他们所感兴趣的东西,其他三个选项均为关系副词,不能充当从句中的宾语。
3. B 此处选 even 加强语气,事实上,电脑甚至都没有兴趣。
4. A computer program 是常见搭配,意为电脑程序,其他选项与句意不符,故排除。
5. B make sense 是固定搭配,意思是有道理, 合理, 能被理解。整句的意思为当然人也有目标,但这些目标若被归在电脑身上便不合逻辑了。
6. C in order to 是固定搭配,表示目的,意为为了,故选 C。
7. A 结合上下文我们得知,此处应填具有寻找含义的词,watch 没有此含义,首先被排除,C 选项后若加上 for ,便符合文意,search 有搜寻,查找的含义,但一般指深人彻底地调查,只 有 A 选项 find 在含义和语气上都符合句意。
8. C 从下一句便可找到答案为 C 选项,give rise to 意为引起,导致,使发生。
9. D 选择 D 意为找到关于餐馆名字的信息,其他选项放此处均不合适。
10. D 此处需填一个谓语动词,因此要搞清主语餐馆与宾语食物之间的关系,只有餐馆供应食物合乎逻辑,故答案为 serve。
11. A 上文提到了种种人生理的、智力上的、认知的目标,因为饿得到了有关餐馆的信息,因而此处要填获取 ,B ,C,D 与文意不符。
12. B 此空依然承接上文的意思,那些目标都是获取信息的目标,都是学习的目标,答案为 B 选项。
13. B 此处缺一个情态动词,阅读到后半句时便很容易选出答案,此处的 might 与后面 as a person might 相呼应,表示不确定的推测,意为可能,也许。
14. D 能与 way 搭配的介词一般只有 in ,表示以方式,此处的含义为与一个人可能想要做事的方式相同。
15. A arise out of 是固定搭配,意为起于,即使不知道短语的含义,看到后面又出现一次 arise out of ,也应可以选出答案。
