　　答案：A

　　13．The company is now________a young man.

　　A．taking control of

　　B．taking the control of

　　C．under the control of

　　A

　　Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world？A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望) a day in the not­too­distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.

　　One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute.It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart.It used lasers(激光) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines－some of the most dangerous work in the business.

　　The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler.It's a bit smaller than Groundhog，and even more advanced.It can take photos and videos and has sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases.Incredibly，the robot has a real sense of logic.If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused.It has to think about what to do and where to go next.Sometimes it throws_a_fit just like a real person.

　　Myles and his colleagues hope that robots like Cave Crawler will one day be used in rescue operations.“A robot could speed up the rescue process by doing reconnaissance(侦察)，” says Chuck Whittaker，a robotics engineer at Carnegie Mellon.“The robot can go ahead and，with its sensors，report what it has found and whether it is safe for humans to proceed.”

　　Using robots in rescue operations，though，is problematic.The lasers that guide the robots don't work in smoky environments so the engineers at Carnegie Mellon have experimented with sonar(声呐)and radar guidance systems，and with some success.

　　Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry.The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs，but won't get rid of the need for human workers.

　　16．The underlined phrase “throws a fit” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

　　A．gets angry

　　B．gets shocked

　　C．becomes confused

　　D．becomes cheerful

　　解析：猜测词义题。此处是指矿山机器人遇到障碍时会感到困惑，并认真思考，如果问题不能解决时，也会像人一样大发脾气。

　　答案：A

　　17．The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because ________.

　　A．it can map abandoned mines

　　B．it can see in the dark tunnels

　　C．it's smaller than Groundhog

　　D．it has a real sense of logic

　　解析：细节理解题。由第三段第四句可知最新型的机器人Cave Crawler有一定的逻辑推理能力，这是以前的机器人所没有的。

　　答案：D

　　18．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

　　A．the mining robots will have a very bright future

　　B．robots in the automotive industry must be improved

　　C．there will be no need for human workers in mines

　　D．robots in mines will cost a lot

　　解析：推理判断题。由最后一段可知，专家预测机器人将来在矿山上的作用会同在汽车工业领域的作用一样大，说明矿山机器人的前景非常广阔。

　　答案：A

　　19．What can guide the robots in smoky environments?

　　A．The lasers.

　　B．Sonar and radar guidance systems.

　　C．Command guidance systems.

　　D．Image matching guidance systems.

　　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，在充满烟雾的环境中激光无法发挥指挥作用，于是工程师们改用声呐和雷达指挥系统并获得了成功。

　　答案：B

　　B

　　The website “FarmersOnly. com” calls itself an online dating and friendship finder.The idea started in the mind of a man，Jerry Miller in Ohio.He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer.Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.

　　As he tells it，the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date.But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o'clock at night，when she had to start her day at five the next morning.

　　So，in 2005，Jerry Miller launched his website.“You don't have to be a farmer to be on ‘FarmersOnly. com’，but you do have to have the good old­fashioned traditional values of America's heartland.”

　　You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site.Some services are free，but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year.As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members.Many of them are farmers in the United States.Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture.Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.

　　Some farmers have also found love through a group，Singles in Agriculture，which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986.It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance，but is not a dating service.The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship.Its website，“singlesinag.org”，says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.

　　【语篇解读】　乡村生活的作息规律让农民的社交生活受到了限制，受此启发，专门为农民创办的网络约会与交友的网站应运而生。

　　20．Jerry Miller started “FarmersOnly.com” in order to ________.

　　A．help farmers

　　B．support traditions

　　C．understand farmers

　　D．represent farmers

　　解析：推理判断题。Jerry Miller是在听完一位女性农民的诉苦后才创办了这个网站，以为农民网上约会和交友提供方便，由此可推断出他创办网站的目的是帮助农民。

　　答案：A

　　21．Which of the following is true of “singlesinag. org”？

　　A．Its services are free.

　　B．It provides dating services.

　　C．Only farmers can become its members.

　　D．Farmers in France can't benefit from it.

　　解析：正误判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“a nonprofit organization”可知这是一个非营利性机构，它创办的网站提供的是免费服务。

　　答案：A

　　22．The author of the text intends to ________.

　　A．advertise for the two websites

　　B．introduce two websites

　　C．encourage social activities

　　D．urge readers to help farmers

　　解析：写作意图题。作者只是客观地介绍了Jerry Miller创办的网站，顺便提及了另外一个网站，并没有发表自己的观点，所以作者意在对两个网站进行介绍。

　　答案：B

　　23．It can be inferred from the text that ________.

　　A．all farmers desire marriage

　　B．farmers are easy to meet new people

　　C．more farmers get divorced in the USA

　　D．the Internet helps improve farmers' social life

　　解析：推理判断题。由文中介绍的这两个关于农民社交的网站可推知因特网有助于促进农民的社交生活。

　　答案：D
