Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2015天津,B)
Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns.But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
()1.How are social robots different from household robots?
A.They can control their emotions.
B.They are more like humans.
C.They do the normal housework.
D.They respond to users more slowly.
()2.What
can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A.Communicate with you and perform operations.
B.Answer your questions and make requests.
C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D.Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
()3.What can Oshbot work as?
A.A language teacher.
B.A tour guide.
C.A shop assistant.
D.A private nurse.
()4.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ________.
A.train employees
B.be our workmates
C.improve technologies
D.take the place of workers
【主旨大意】 在未来的几年里,社会机器人会在家庭方面做更多人性化的工作。它不仅能帮人干活,而且还能够陪伴人一起干活。
1.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.…able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.”可知,社会机器人与家庭机器人的不同之处在于社会机器人更加人性化一些。故选B项。
2.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。由第三段中的“You can…make requests for it to perform different tasks.”和最后一句中的“It can do things…to take medicine”可知,D项(Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.)正确。A项中的perform operations,B项中的make requests,C项中的deliver milk等信息均与文章不符,故应排除。故选D项。
3.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由倒数第二段第二句“The company's ‘Oshbot’ robot is built to assist customers in a store…”可知,Oshbot能够担任商店售货员,帮顾客购物。
4.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。最后一段讲的是社会机器人能够学会与人相伴。这段中有几处关键信息,如“to work alongside other employees”和“but with us”,可以帮助我们找到答案。选项中“be our workmates”与此相符,故选B项。
B
(2016辽宁实验中学高三上学期阶段测试,A)
I find it humorous sometimes that even the most ordinary incidents can have an impact on our awareness.
My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like it does today.We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall.The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”.Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area.
Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify.I knew I didn't plant it and Denise claimed that she didn't either.We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower.It had a tall skinny stalk (茎) and only one head on it.I decided to baby_it_along and weed around it.As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual.The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin.It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
That's when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn't let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing.We believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same food and nutrition as well.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you.You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle(障碍) in order to reach your desires.
()5.We can know from the second paragraph that ________.
A.the author finished building his home hurriedly
B.it took the author 9 years to make the yard beautiful
C.the author's home was made of rock walls
D.the author's family have lived in this home for 9 years
()6.What does the underlined phrase “baby it along” mean?
A.Make shelter for it. B.Leave it alone.
C.Take good care of it.D.Put it elsewhere.
()7.What can be inferred from this passage?
A.Human beings are able to remove obstacles.
B.The universal truth made the Sunflower survive.
C.A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the Sunflower.
D.We can achieve success as long as we are selfconfident.
【主旨大意】本文主要讲述作者在自家花园的角落里发现了一株不知名的植物。几周后,植物长大了,是一棵向日葵。当作者想为它清理周围的杂草时,才发现这棵向日葵是从石头下面长出来的。由此引发感想,人只要有毅力和信心,就能克服困难,实现梦想。
5.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知“我们已经在这座房子里住了9年”。A项说“作者建房子很匆忙”,与原文“someone were in a hurry to finish”相悖。B项说“作者花了9年的时间使得院子变漂亮”与原文“we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like it does today”不符。C项说“作者的家由石头墙组成”与“the yard is surrounded by rock wall”不符。
6.【答案】C
【解析】词义推断题。根据文章后文的weed around it(为它除去周围的杂草)可知。
7.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后两段可知:只要有毅力和信心,我们也能克服困难,实现梦想。
Ⅲ.书面表达

Yours ever,
Li Hua
【答案】
One possible version:
Dear_John,
I_am_pleased_to_get_your_email_and_tell_you_something_about_the_activity_of_reading_a_good_book_among_our_students.
To develop our interests and form the good habit of reading a good book,lately our Students' Union has held an activity about reading a good book.We took an active part in this activity.Some of us read some books about the Chinese literature,which will help to improve our ability to appreciate literary works.Others read some about natural science,which will encourage us to devote ourselves to science.
For me,I prefer reading some chemistry books,because I want to do many chemistry study to creat some more fertilizer to promote rice output.In my opinion, we can benefit a lot from it.
Yours_ever,
Li_Hua
