主题语境 人与自然——科学研究——月球正在缓慢收缩
Many of us think，wrongly，that the moon doesn't change.For example，the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away；From year to year the moons look alike，old and new.”
However，a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time.For the study，a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机).They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon.These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.
According to NASA，the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core.The moon continued to expand as it was born.But in this process，it released energy and cooled down.Then it began to shrink，in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin.Over the past several hundred million years，it has become 46 meters“skinnier”．But due to its hard and rocky layer，the moon's surface continues to push up.“Some of these quakes can be fairly strong，around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级)，” said Thomas Watters，a senior scientist at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in the US.
But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn't try to explore and live on in the future？Maybe not，reported The Telegraph.“This isn't anything to worry about.The moon may be shrinking，but not by much.It's not going anywhere，” Watters comforted us.
The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead，boring place is wrong.“We have been to the moon and we've done some great science，but there is still a lot we don't know.The moon is shrinking—we didn't really realize that until recently.It's a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that，” NASA scientist Nathan Williams saiD．
文章大意：月球并非如唐代诗人张若虚在诗中描绘的那样是亘古不变的。一项最新的科学研究表明，月球正在随着时间的流逝慢慢地缩小。此外，这项研究还表明月球还有许多我们不了解的东西，它是一个比我们认为的更活跃、更有意思的地方，我们应该探索它。
1．Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to
A．It stays the same as before.
B．It is becoming slightly smaller.
C．It is getting older and older.
D．It has passed away.
解析：B 考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“However，a new study...shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time.”可知，一项新的发表在《自然·地球科学》上的研究表明，月球正在随着时间的流逝慢慢地缩小，据此可知B项正确。
2．What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph
A．It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.
B．It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.
C．It quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.
D．It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding.
解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第三段前三句中的“the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core”“The moon continued to expand as it was born.”“But in this process，it released energy”可知，月球由带有一个热核的岩石块组成，当它形成时月球在持续膨胀，在这个过程中它会释放能量，故D项正确。
3．Who thinks that we needn't worry about the moon
A．Zhang Ruoxu. B．Thomas Watters.
C．Nathan Williams. D．The journalist.
解析：B 考查细节理解。根据第四段中Thomas Watters说的话“This isn't anything to worry about...It's not going anywhere”可知Thomas Watters认为我们不必担心月球，尽管月球在缩小，但它并没有缩小很多，故B项正确。
4．What does Nathan Williams think of the moon
A．It is a dead and boring place.
B．It has lots of faults on the surface.
C．It is valuable to do more science.
D．It isn't a place where we can live.
解析：C 考查推理判断。根据尾段中Nathan Willams说的话“We have been to the moon and we've done some great science...we should explore that”可知，Nathan Williams认为月球有许多我们不了解的东西，值得我们去探索，据此可推知，他认为研究月球是有价值的，故C项正确。

主题语境 人与社会——科学研究——用机器人创作音乐
At England's University of Plymouth，Professor Eduardo Miranda has been programming pairs of robots to compose musiC．Miranda's robots have simple “vocal cords” (声带) and are programmed to sing and listen to each other.The robots' unique warbling sounds(颤音) do not perfectly match the human voice，but each machine is exactly sharing music with the other in a new and unique way.
Each robot is equipped with speakers，software that mimics the human voice，a mouth that opens as it “sings”，a microphone for ears，and a camera for eyes.The robots also move.Miranda hopes that by studying his robot vocalists，he can discover something about how and why humans create，perform，and listen to musiC．
When the robots sing，the first robot makes six random sounds.Its partner responds with more sounds.The first robot analyzes the sounds to see if their sequences (顺序) are similar.If they are，it nods its head and commits the sounds to memory，and the second robot notices and “memorizes” the musical sequence，too.If the first robot thinks the sounds are too different，it shakes its head and both robots ignore the sounds.Then the process continues.
Miranda set up an experiment in which he left the two robots alone in his study for two weeks.When he returned，his little warblers had，by imitating each other，not only shared notes but combined them.The product of their cooperation was far from symphonic，but the robots had begun to combine the notes into their own self developed “songs” .
With the help of his warbling robots，one of Miranda's goals is to create music that no human would ever compose.Miranda believes the robots are ideal for this purpose because they would not be influenced by any existing musical styles or rules.
文章大意：普利茅斯大学的教授Eduardo Miranda通过编写程序让一对机器人创作音乐。本文介绍了Miranda的实验过程以及他的目标等。
5．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mimics” in Paragraph 2
A．Substitutes. B．Interrupts.
C．Controls. D．Copies.
解析：D 考查词义猜测。根据画线词所在句中的“a mouth that opens as it ‘sings’，a microphone for ears，and a camera for eyes”可知，“唱歌”时嘴张开、麦克风用作耳朵、摄像头用作眼睛。由此可推知，此处表示用来模仿人声的软件，故D项正确。A项意为“代替，取代”。
6．What did the two robots do during Miranda's experiment
A．They interacted with each other.
B．They ignored the unique sounD．
C．They learned to sing better than humans.
D．They committed random sounds to memory.
解析：A 考查细节理解。根据第三段第一、二句“When the robots sing，the first robot makes six random sounds.Its partner responds with more sounds.”可知，当机器人唱歌时，第一个机器人发出六个随机的声音；它的同伴会发出更多的声音来回应。并结合该段其他内容可知，在唱歌时，机器人之间会互动，故A项正确。
7．What does Miranda want his robots to do
A．Sing as well as humans do.
B．Create new styles of musiC．
C．Memorize a variety of musiC．
D．Promote traditional musical forms.
解析：B 考查细节理解。根据尾段第一句“With the help of his warbling robots，one of Miranda's goals is to create music that no human would ever compose.”可知，Miranda的目标之一就是凭借机器人的帮助创作出人类永远无法创作出的音乐，即创造出新风格的音乐，故B项正确。
8．What is the text mainly about
A．Future robots.
B．Special songs.
C．Music by robots.
D．Experiments by MirandA．
解析：C 考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，文章第一段第一句“At England's University of Plymouth，Professor Eduardo Miranda has been programming pairs of robots to compose musiC．”为全文的主题句，结合下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了Eduardo Miranda教授用机器人创作音乐的实验过程。故C项正确。

文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了我国的嫦娥四号探月器在月背成功着陆并展开探索的壮举。
1．解析：touched 考查时态。根据句子结构，“the name was inspired by an ancient Chinese moon goddess”部分是对探月器名称的解释，可以看作是插入成分。故可判断出空格处是谓语动词。再根据句中的时间状语last week可知此处用一般过去时。 touched down 降落，着陆。
