Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When Tina Sorg first saw the robot rolling through her supermarket,she thought,“That thing is a little weird.” Programmed to detect spills and rubbish in the passages,the robot looked like a printer with a long neck.“It needs personality,” said Ms Sorg,who manages the store’s beer and wine department.
So,during one overnight shift,she went out to a nearby arts and crafts store,brought back a large pair of googly eyes (塑料眼睛) and,when no one was looking,fixed them on the top of the robot.
The eyes were a hit with managers at her grocery company.They are now a standard feature on the company’s nearly 500 robots across the United States.
How this supermarket robot got its funny eyes touches on a serious question:Will robots with friendly faces and cute names help people feel good about devices that are taking over an increasing amount of human work
Robots are now working everywhere from factories to living rooms.But the introduction of robots to public settings like the grocery store is increasing new fears that humans are being pushed out of jobs.A famous consulting firm says the grocers could immediately reduce “the pool of labour hours” by as much as 65% if they adopted all the automation technology currently available.
Still,most of the retail (零售的) robots have just enough human qualities to make them appear friendly but not too many to suggest they are replacing humans completely.
“There is never going to be this great disaster of job loss,” said Peter Hancock,a professor at the University of Central Florida who has studied the history of automation.Throughout history,Hancock added,workers have attacked technologies when they feel threatened.“If you push too hard,too far,people transfer their anger to the technology,and they protest,” he noted.
(　　)1.What was Tina Sorg’s attitude towards the robot that “looked like a printer with a long neck”
A.Positive. B.Indifferent.
C.Favourable. D.Disapproving.
(　　)2.What happened to the googly eyes Tina Sorg put on the robot
A.They were banned by her supermarket.
B.They were well-received by her bosses.
C.They went unnoticed by her colleagues.
D.They were hit by some customers.
(　　)3.Why is the famous consulting firm mentioned
A.To point out the exact amount of labour to be done by robots.
B.To celebrate the prospect of robots replacing human workers.
C.To emphasise the risk of job loss due to technological advances.
D.To stress the power of automation technology in public settings.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了Tina Sorg为了让机器人看起来更像人类,给机器人增添了一双塑料眼睛,这一举动也给了设计者启示。设计者认为机器人应有足够的人类特质,以带给客户更好的体验。但机器人的普及也引发了大家针对机器人是否会导致人类失业这一问题的讨论。
答案及剖析:
1.D　推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可推测,Sorg对目前的机器人不满意,觉得它需要增添个性。所以D项符合题意。故选D。
2.B　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,这双眼睛很受食品杂货公司经理们的欢迎。现在该公司遍布美国的近500个机器人都安上了眼睛。由此可知,杂货公司的经理们都很喜欢机器人新添加的眼睛。故选B。
3.C　推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知,机器人进入食品杂货店等公共场所,加重了人们对人类将被挤出工作岗位的担忧。but后的内容为强调部分,所以后文提及这家咨询公司是为了进一步强调机器人的出现可能会增加人类失业的风险。故选C。
B
When we long live together,we quickly learn to foresee the near-term behaviours of our co-workers or family members.Our ability to predict the actions of others makes it easier to successfully live and work together.In contrast,even the most intelligent and advanced robots have remained inept at this sort of communication.This may be about to change.
The study,conducted by Mechanical Engineering Professor Hod Lipson,is part of a broader effort to provide robots with the ability to understand and predict what others want.The researchers first built a subject robot and placed it in a playpen.They programmed the robot to seek and move towards any green circle it could see.But there was a hidden difficulty.Sometimes the robot could see a green circle in its camera and move directly towards it.But other times,the green circle would be blocked by a tall red cardboard box,in which case the robot would move towards a different green circle,or not at all.
After “researching” its partner on screen long,the new robot was eventually able to get its partner’s goal and path 98 out of 100 times,across varying situations.When starting the experiment,the researchers expected the robot might learn to make predictions about the subject robot’s near-term actions.What the researchers didn’t expect,however,was how accurately it could foresee the moves with only a few seconds of video.
“Our initial results are very exciting,showing how robots can see the world from another robot’s view,” says Lipson.“The understanding ability of the new robot is perhaps a primitive form of sensing others’ feelings,which we all can do.”
Meanwhile,he acknowledges there’re many moral questions.The technology will make robots more adaptable and useful and no longer passive instruction-following machines,but when robots can predict how humans think,they may also learn to control or influence those thoughts.
(　　)4.What does “inept” underlined in the first paragraph mean
A.Cautious. B.Smart.
C.Active. D.Poor.
(　　)5.What is the experiment designed to find
A.How a robot moves toward the targeted object.
B.Whether a robot can predict other robots’ goals.
C.Whether robots can work together like humans.
D.How precisely a robot foresees its partner’s moves.
(　　)6.How does the robot gain the understanding ability
A.By communication.
B.By following its camera.
C.By visual observation.
D.By experiencing various tests.
(　　)7.What does Lipson think of the new robot
A.It bears human characteristics.
B.It has some kind of moral values.
C.It might replace human beings.
D.It is an instruction-following machine.

6.C　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,机器人通过视觉观察获得了理解和预测其他机器人的行动的能力。故选C。
7.A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,在Lipson看来,这种新型的机器人的理解能力可能是人类感知他人感受的一种原始形式。故选A。
C
Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds.The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science.So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation.For example,if you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity,then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds.And you have to follow them.If humans are able to breathe underwater in Chapter 1,your characters can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3.The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust.That means readers are willing to pretend along with you.If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter,you will pull the readers out of their imagination.The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its world in great detail.You should decide the following issues:the history of the world,the geography,what possibilities it offers,how everything works in this new reality,and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think,feel,and react to things.You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter.But you have to let readers know enough to understand what’s going on.This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.
When you are writing,remember to make it feel real.You are inviting readers to visit a new world.They will want to be able to see,hear,feel,smell,and even taste what it’s like.Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet,help your readers feel like they’re actually there.
(　　)8.What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction
A.Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.
B.Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.
C.Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.
D.Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.
(　　)9.What does the third paragraph focus on
A.Part of the preparation work for science fiction writing.
B.The different types of novels.
C.The detail in the first chapter of science fiction.
D.The reality of science fiction.
(　　)10.Which of the following statements is TRUE
A.It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.
B.Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writer’s rules are true.
C.The target readers of the passage are young scientists.
D.It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.
(　　)11.What’s the best title of the passage
A.How to Do Scientific Research
B.How to Write Science Fiction
C.What to Expect from Science Fiction
D.How to Raise Interest in Science
语篇导读:本文是说明文。科学是科幻小说的基本原理,文章提出了写科幻小说时要注意的事项。
答案及剖析:
8.C　细节理解题。根据第一段的前两句可知,科学是科幻小说的基本原理。故选C。
9.A　段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,第三段的主旨是科幻小说写作的部分准备工作。故选A。
10.B　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,科幻小说的读者实际上会假设作者小说世界里的规则是真实的。故选B。
11.B　标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了如何写科幻小说,故B项适合用作文章的标题。故选B。
