The ocean is one of the most interesting and breathtaking places on the entire planet. The ocean has witnessed a variety of disappearances and other mysteries，most of which cannot and have not been explained by modern science. Here are some interesting unsolved sea mysteries of the world.
USS Scorpion
In May 1968，USs Scorpion，an American submarine，departed from Norfolk，Virginia，on it sway towards the Mediterranean. The crew had almost a decade of experience，and yet the sub disappeared and broke into pieces on the sea floor. There were 99 men aboard the sub. all of whom lost their lives.
Baltic Sea Sub
In the later half of 2014，a mysterious vessel was spotted by Swedish citizens，many of whom described it as a Russian submarine in the Baltic sea. The military spent much time in investigating，but found no sign of the mysterious sub.
Bermeja Island
During the 1970s, the Bermeja Island served as a bit of a marker for Mexico and its economic zone. Around 20 years later, the island disappeared without any sign. Along with the island, numerous important documents about major oil reserves also went missing.
Gulf of Mexico Shipwreck
In 2001, Exxon Mobil was laying the pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico when people ran into a shipwreck around 2,600 feet under the surface. Upon exploring the shipwreck, archaeologists believed it to be a terrible spell (咒语), as something would constantly go wrong when they went down to explore.
SS Edmund Fitzgerald
Lake Superior is so large that it behaves like an inland ocean, including terrific storms. In November 1975, one such storm struck the vessel SS Edmund Fitzgerald, which was headed to Detroit. The Fitzgerald disappeared after communications were lost. A week later, a sonar ship found the vessel 500 feet under the water. nobody was found, though.

It’s always nice to have a little help around the house. But what if you could employ the assistance of one of the greatest minds of the 20th century？
That’s the idea behind a new robot modeled after Albert Einstein. Called Professor Einstein and standing at just over a foot tall，this personal assistant can tell you the weather and keep track of your schedule like any other robots. With built-in Wi-Fi the Einstein robot has access to brain games，and can answer math problems and science questions. With natural language and speech processing，you can actually interact with Professor Einstein. And because the robot is connected to the Internet，it is constantly updated with new information.
To help get the perfect replica（复制品）of Einstein，the Hong Kong-based tech company Hanson Robotics turned to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem the home of the albert Einstein archives（档案）.”We worked very closely with them to brin the product co-marker，said the company’s Dr Jeanne Lim.
The Einstein robot was introduced to the public at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and was quickly hailed by those who saw it. “He became one of the breakout stars of the convention,” wrote Melia Robinson on business insider. “Crowds flooded into the company to have a look at the little guy.”
“Technology is often now very cold and socially isolating（孤立的）,” explained David Hanson，the co-founder of the company behind the new robot, “ By bringing an lively character into our physical world，we’re humanizing（使人性化）the technology instead of dehumanizing the humans.”
As for Hanson Robotics，the company has been building human-size robots for over a decade. But this marks the company’s first commercially available product. Professor Einstein is just the start,” said Hanson. “We’re witnessing the arrival of conversational robots that can walk in our world. It’s a golden age of invention.”
4. what can the Einstein robot do
A. Teach you to learn any new language.
B. Have a regular conversation with you.
C. Design a number of science questions.
D. Keep track of other robots constantly.
5. Which of the following best explains “hailed” underlined in Paragraph 4
A. Broken.
B. Improved.
C. Ignored.
D. Praised.
6. what can be inferred from David Hanson’s words
A. He expects humans to be less isolated from robots.
B. He dreams of humanizing humans through invention.
C. He worries about a golden age for conversational robots.
D. He stays hopeful about the future of robot invention.
7. what can be a suitable title for the text
A. A New Robot Makes Humans Much Happier
B. The Golden Age of Invention Is Approaching
C. Albert Einstein Changes into an Assistant
D. Albert Einstein Helps to Humanize Robots

The Good and Bad of Online Communication
Our need to communicate with each other is a constant driving force for new inventions. Online services and products are where most development in communication is happening. Now there are increasing options for when，where and how to communicate，and perhaps most importantly with whom.
1 Nobody can see who they are or what they look like. Many people who are shy feel confident online. One user noted that everyone is equal online and this cannot be found in face-to-face meetings When you meet someone in person, you immediately make judgments based on appearance. 2 Online however, appearance, age and status all become unimportant, and this encourages users to be open and honest, which makes it a lot easier for people to make friends.
Apart from making friends online, the Internet can bring together like-minded people who want discuss favourite topics. There are forums and chat rooms for just about any hobby ability or unusual taste you can imagine.
3
Some people spend so much time on the Internet that they become totally dependent on it Psychologists and social scientists worry that if people spend more time with computers than with other people, they will forget how to get on with people face-to-face. Apart from dependency, there are other objections and worries about the Internet. 4 Being open and honest with complete strangers, then arranging to meet them without friends or family knowing about it is very dangerous behaviour. Even when the worst dangers do not happen, simple lies can leave people disappointed. Then there is the problem of information being stolen. The Internet has led to a new type of criminal, cyber-criminals, who could easily take your information and could even be using your identity and password.
5 Most users seem to think it is.
A. whenever or however you use the Internet hackers will be a constant threat.
B. With all these dangers, is going online to communicate really worthwhile
C. People love the freedom of the Internet.
D. However, going online also has a dark side.
E. Even a persons accent or the choice of shoes forms a certain impression.
F. Most users said that going online had improved their lives.
G. Not all people seeking relationships online have Innocent intentions.

参考答案：
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。海洋是整个地球上最有趣和最令人惊叹的地方之一。海洋已经见证了各种各样的神秘事件，其中大多数没有得到现代科学的
解释。文章主要介绍了世界上一些有趣的未解之谜。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中 The crew had almost a decade of experience，and yet the sub disappeared and broke into pieces on the sea floor.可知船员们有将近10年经验，但这艘潜艇还是消失了，在海底摔成了碎片。由此可知，作者认 “蝎
号”是一个谜是因为即使有经验丰富的船员，潜艇还是沉没了。
2. B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知2014年下半年, 一艘神秘的船只在波罗的海被瑞典公民发现，其中许多人将其描述为一艘俄罗斯潜艇。根据第五段可知2001年，埃克森美孚公司在墨西哥湾铺设输油管道时，在海底2,600英尺处遇上了一艘沉船。考古学家认为这是一个可怕的咒语，因为当他们下去探索时，总会有东西出错。由此可知，波罗的海潜艇和墨西哥湾沉船的共同之处是人们都不知道两艘船的名字。
B. 推理判断题。根据第四段可知大约20年后，Bermeja岛消失得无影无踪。除了这座岛屿，大量关于主要石油储备的重要文件也消失了。结合其他的谜团都是关于船只的可知，Bermeja岛的谜团与其他的不同。
B
语篇解读: 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了科学家以爱因斯坦为原型设计了一款名为 “Einstein robot”的机器人，并且得到了公众的青睐。最后两段讲述了设计该机器人的公司的创始人对杋器人的前途充满了希望。
4. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中 With natural language and speech processing，you can actually interact with Professor Einstein.可知，因为有了自然语言和语音处理技术，你可以和爱因斯坦机器人互动聊天。
5. D 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段可知，在这款机器人出现在展览会上并被介绍给公众后，Melia Robinson认为它成了大会上崭露头角的明星之一。同时在最后一句还提到成群的人涌进公司来看这个小家伙。由此可知，大家对这个机器人的认可度很高，它受到了公众的欢迎。故D项 “赞扬”符合语境。
6. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “Professor Einstein is just the start,” said Hanson. “Were witnessing the arrival of conversational robots that can walk in our world. It’s a golden age of invention.”可知，我们处于发明的黄金时代，见证了可对话机器人的到来。由此可见他对未来机器人的发明充满了希望。
7. C 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，第一段中的 one of the greatest minds指的就是下文中提及的仿照爱因斯坦制造的新型机器人（Professor Einstein）。文章第二段提到Professor Einstein这个私人助理可以帮忙做很多事情，如：tel you the weather，keep track of your schedule LA k you can actually interact with Professor Einstein。因此根据上下文，本篇文章主要讲述的是将 “爱因斯坦”（机器人）变成一个助手。
Ⅱ.七选五
语篇解读: 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了网上交流的利与弊。
1.C 此空为该段的首句，应该是该段的总起句。根据下文Nobody can see who they are or what they look like.ill everyone is equal online可知没人知道他们是谁，长什么样，而且在网上每个人都是平等的。这都说明在网络上交流让人感到
自由。
2. E 根据前一句 when you meet someone in person，you immediately make judgments based on appearance.可知当你和某人见面时，你会立刻根据他的外表做出判断；选项E中Even表示语气加强，a person’s accent or the choice of shoes forms a certain impression是补充说明前一句中的make judgments based on appearance。
3. D 设空处上面的两段说明网上交流的好处：让人感到自由以及可以找到趣味相同的人；本空下面提到 they become totally dependent on it，这是在说明网上交流的弊端：过于依赖网络。该段的话题和前两段的话题出现转折；D项中的However表示转折关系，起承上启下的作用。
4. G 根据前一句 Apart from dependency，there are other objections and worries about the Internet.可知人们对互联网还有其他的反对意见和担忧，下文举例说明人们反对和担忧互联网的原因：被骗、信息被盗等。选项G顺承前一句的话题。
