【点评】考查完形填空，本题考点涉及动词，名词，形容词，副词，固定短语等多个知识点的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析推理，从而选出正确答案。
21．句意：我在网上做了很多申请，包括亲自去一些特殊的公司亲自投递简历。A：designs“设计”；B：applications“申请”；C：preparations“准备”；D：examinations “测试”。根据上文，作者从大学毕业后，在找工作方面有着非常大的压力。既然是找工作就肯定需要投递简历和申请。故选B。
22．句意：一天，我去一个公司交简历。A：hand in“上交”；B：give up“放弃”；C：carry out“进行”；D：take back “收回”。根据上文“I did a lot of 1 both online and handing in person to a particular company. ”可知作者会去一些公司上交简历，故选A。
23．句意：我想要亲自见一见人力资源部经理，因为我相信这是比把我的简历留在前台更好的选择。A：result“结果”；B：option“选择”；C：position“位置”；D：suggestion “建议”。根据语境，作者想亲自把自己的个人履历交给人力资源部经理，因为他觉得这是最佳选择。故选B。
24．句意：不幸的是，这个公司的接待员不允许我见人力资源部经理。A：lawyer“律师”；B：president“总裁”；C：reporter“记者”；D：receptionist “接待员”。由上文的at the reception推断，在reception工作的人员即为receptionist，故选D。
25．句意：不幸的是，这个公司的接待员不允许我见人力资源部经理，而是叫我把简历交给她，她可以帮我代为转交。A：thus“因此”；B：still“仍然”；C：instead“反而”；D：therefore “因此”。根据上文可知，接待员不让作者与公司人力资源部见面，但是却给了作者另一个选择，即她代为转交，包含一种转折意味。故选C。

28．句意：我会这么想是因为这样的事经常发生在其他公司。A：fails“失败”；B：works“工作，奏效”；C：changes“改变”；D：happens “发生”。根据上文，作者会亲自去一些公司递送自己的简历，但凡是那些公司的接待员把作者的简历递给人力资源部经理，作者就已经工作了，而不是继续找工作。说明作者之前也经历过这些事。故选D。
29．句意：所以我垂头丧气地走了。A：up“向上地”；B：down“向下地”；C：aside“一边”；D：forward “向前地”。作者猜想这位接待员会把自己的简历扔进垃圾桶，因此感到非常的失望，于是呈现出一种丧气的状态，即垂下头。同时，该句中使用了“with+名词\代词+介词短语/形容词/副词/名词/非谓语动词”的独立主格结构，在句子中作状语，表示伴随、方式、原因、结果等。故选B。
30．句意：所以我垂头丧气地走了，再也不去想这个事情，因为我知道我不会从这个公司得到任何回应。A：response“回应”；B：suggestion“建议”；C：project“项目”；D：comment “评论”。根据上文可知，作者在找工作，因此需要得到公司的回应。故选A。

32．句意：我真的感到非常惊讶，因为我完全没想到。A：expect“预计，期待”；B：connect“连接”；C：value“珍视”；D：confirm “确认”。根据语境，作者觉得非常的惊讶，说明作者没有预料到有这样的事情发生。故选A。

34．句意：我非常的开心，但也为那天怀疑那位接待员而感到十分不舒服。A：doubting“怀疑”；B：scolding“责骂”；C：admiring“赞美”；D：punishing “惩罚”。根据上文“I was really 7 since I knew she wouldn't do that and my CV will just be thrown in the trash can. I thought so because it usually 8 a lot in some other companies. ”作者觉得接待员会把自己的简历扔进垃圾桶，因为作者在其他公司也遭遇过这样的事，而作者在接到HR的电话后才知道接待员把自己的简历交给HR了，说明作者怀疑了接待员。故选A。
35．句意：这件事使我谦卑起来，它提醒着人们要去相信人，而不是仅仅因为是习以为常的事就进行假设。A：decision“决定”；B：conclusion“结论”；C：reminder“提醒”；D：criterion “标准”。根据这件事，作者领悟了一件事，即不要因为遭遇过某件事就认为所有的情况都是一样的，作者提醒自己要摒除这样的偏见。故选C。
四、阅读理解
阅读理解
Nowadays,
most people have a device that features artificial intelligence (AI), with the
likes of Siri always there to greet us with a friendly voice.
But
Microsoft's XiaoIce is different. Launched in 2014 for the Chinese market,"
she" has a creative advantage over her competitors. While most AI
assistants simply read out information they get online, XiaoIce has a" realness"
that the others are short of. Indeed, if you asked nicely, she could read you a
poem from the weekly column in ChinaDaily.
The
newspaper has been printing XiaoIce's selfpenned poetry each week since Aug. 19,
taken from her own book of poems, TheSunlightthatLosttheGlassWindow.
To
turn XiaoIce into a master of poetry, Microsoft scientists" fed" her
the works of over 500 influential modern poets, reported ChinaDaily.
This
led to her figuring out a writing style of her own and creating over 70,000
original poems. Most of the poems are so comparable to those written by humans
that they cannot be easily distinguished, and XiaoIce's book even got good
feedback from experts.
"
Xiaolce's work carries a strange taste. The more you chew on it, the more
interesting it becomes, " Scholar Zhang, a literature professor at the
Nanjing University of Science and Technology, told ChinaDaily.
However,
it seems not everyone is a fan." The poems dissatisfied me with their
slippery tone and rhythm. The sentences were aimless, lacking the inner logic
for emotional expression," Yunnan-based poet Yu told ChinaYouthDaily. This isn't the first AI to
attempt poetry. Last year, Google's Parsey McParseface made some poems of its
own, although they were branded" wrongly" by reviewers. While it
seems like AI is becoming more" intelligent" and less" artificial"
all the time, when it comes to creativity, perhaps this is one job that
software should leave to us humans.
36．What advantage does XiaoIce have over most other AI assistants
A．She can greet users with her friendly voice.
B．She has the ability to simply read out information.
C．She can acquire information online very quickly.
D．She has the ability to read and even create poems.
37．What is the correct description of XiaoIce
A．Her works are welcomed by all influential modern poets.
B．Her poems are roughly similar to those written by humans.
C．She is working on a monthly column in a newspaper.
D．Her works don't have a specific writing style.
38．What is Scholar Zhang's attitude towards XiaoIce's creation
A．Supportive. B．Cautious. C．Doubtful. D．Negative.
39．What is the problem about XiaoIce's poems according to the last paragraph
A．The emotional expressions in her poems are all positive.
B．It's quite hard to understand what her works mean.
C．The tone and rhythm of her poems are questionable.
D．Her poems are sorrowful and lack creativity.
【答案】36．D
37．B
38．A
39．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，人工智能对人类生活有很大的影响，作者介绍了微软的XiaoIce的功能是特殊的，它不仅会读诗，而且还会自己创造诗。它的诗和诗人写的诗非常相似很难区分。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
36．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“she could read you a poem from the weekly column in ChinaDaily”可知，XiaoIce会读诗；第五段中的“This led to ber figuring out a writing style of her own and creating over 70,000 original poems. ”可知XiaoIce会读诗甚至创造诗。故选D。
37．考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段中的“Most of the poems are so comparable to those written by humans that they cannot be easily distinguished, and XiaoIce's book even got good feedback from experts. ”大多数诗歌与人类创作的诗歌非常相似，很难区分，XiaoIce的书甚至得到了专家们的好评。故选B。
38．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“XiaoIce's work carries a strange taste. The more you chew on it, the more interesting it becomes”可知XiaoIce的作品有种奇怪的味道。你咀嚼得越多，它就变得越有趣。所以Scholar Zhang对XiaoIce's创造的观点是支持的。故选A。
39．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“The poems dissatisfied me with their slippery tone and rhythm. ”这些诗的不稳定的音调和节奏使“我”不满意。故选C。

Robots
are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines
or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household
helps and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped
with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of
specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave
towards them becomes ever more urgent.
A
team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus，professor of Developmental Psychology at
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet München (LMU), have carried out a study to
determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards
them based on moral principles.
According
to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question:" Under
what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human
lives " The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at
risk in order to save a group of injured persons In the situations presented
the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been
humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was
clearly recognizable as a machine.
The
study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely
participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in
which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own
understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study
participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans.
"This
result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the
robot," says Paulus." One possible suggestion of this finding is that
attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into
conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us."
40．What has become a concern about robots
A．How to humanize them. B．How to treat them in life.
C．How to use them effectively. D．How to find more applications.
41．In the study the participants probably have to decide ____.
A．when to sacrifice a robot B．where to experience risks
C．which robot to work with D．what robots should be like
42．What can be inferred from Paulus' words
A．Humanized robots offer less help to people.
B．Humanizing robots too much may be improper.
C．Certain moral status should be attached to robots.
D．Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.
43．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．Robots, a Must for Future B．Humanized Robots, a New Trend
C．Robot Saved, People Take the Hit D．Humanized Robots, Replace Human
【答案】40．B
41．A
42．B
43．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，随着越来越多的机器人变得更人性化，它们承担越来越多样化的专业和日常任务，人们如何看待它们，如何对待它们的问题变得迫在眉睫。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
40．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent. ”可知，随着越来越多的机器装备了最新的人工智能，承担着越来越多的专业和日常任务，人们如何看待它们以及如何对待它们的问题变得越来越紧迫。故选B。
41．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“According to Sari Nijssen，the study set out to answer the following question: 'Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives？'”可知，在这项研究中，参与者可能必须决定何时牺牲机器人。故选A。
42．考查推理判断。根据最后一段“‘This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot，' says Paulus. 'One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us. '”可知，Paulus认为让机器人人性化的尝试不应该走得太快，可以推断出，Paulus认为过多地人性化机器人可能是不合适的。故选B。
43．考查主旨大意。根据第四段中的“The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. ”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了随着越来越多的机器人变得更人性化，参与者就可能越不会牺牲机器人。因此“机器人被拯救，人类就会承受打击”最切题。故选C。

Nowadays,
most people have a device that features artificial intelligence (AI), with the
likes of Siri always there to greet us with a friendly voice.
But
Microsoft's XiaoIce is different. Launched in 2014 for the Chinese market,"
she" has a creative advantage over her competitors. While most AI
assistants simply read out information they get online, XiaoIce has a" realness"
that the others are short of. Indeed, if you asked nicely, she could read you a
poem from the weekly column in ChinaDaily.
The
newspaper has been printing XiaoIce's selfpenned poetry each week since Aug. 19,
taken from her own book of poems, TheSunlightthatLosttheGlassWindow.
To
turn XiaoIce into a master of poetry, Microsoft scientists" fed" her
the works of over 500 influential modern poets, reported ChinaDaily.
This
led to her figuring out a writing style of her own and creating over 70,000
original poems. Most of the poems are so comparable to those written by humans
that they cannot be easily distinguished, and XiaoIce's book even got good
feedback from experts.
"
Xiaolce's work carries a strange taste. The more you chew on it, the more
interesting it becomes, " Scholar Zhang, a literature professor at the
Nanjing University of Science and Technology, told ChinaDaily.
However,
it seems not everyone is a fan." The poems dissatisfied me with their
slippery tone and rhythm. The sentences were aimless, lacking the inner logic
for emotional expression," Yunnan-based poet Yu told ChinaYouthDaily. This isn't the first AI to
attempt poetry. Last year, Google's Parsey McParseface made some poems of its
own, although they were branded" wrongly" by reviewers. While it
seems like AI is becoming more" intelligent" and less" artificial"
all the time, when it comes to creativity, perhaps this is one job that
software should leave to us humans.
36．What advantage does XiaoIce have over most other AI assistants
A．She can greet users with her friendly voice.
B．She has the ability to simply read out information.
C．She can acquire information online very quickly.
D．She has the ability to read and even create poems.
37．What is the correct description of XiaoIce
A．Her works are welcomed by all influential modern poets.
B．Her poems are roughly similar to those written by humans.
C．She is working on a monthly column in a newspaper.
D．Her works don't have a specific writing style.
38．What is Scholar Zhang's attitude towards XiaoIce's creation
A．Supportive. B．Cautious. C．Doubtful. D．Negative.
39．What is the problem about XiaoIce's poems according to the last paragraph
A．The emotional expressions in her poems are all positive.
B．It's quite hard to understand what her works mean.
C．The tone and rhythm of her poems are questionable.
D．Her poems are sorrowful and lack creativity.

Robots
are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines
or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household
helps and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped
with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of
specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave
towards them becomes ever more urgent.
A
team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus，professor of Developmental Psychology at
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet München (LMU), have carried out a study to
determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards
them based on moral principles.
According
to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question:" Under
what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human
lives " The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at
risk in order to save a group of injured persons In the situations presented
the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been
humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was
clearly recognizable as a machine.
The
study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely
participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in
which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own
understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study
participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans.
"This
result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the
robot," says Paulus." One possible suggestion of this finding is that
attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into
conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us."
40．What has become a concern about robots
A．How to humanize them. B．How to treat them in life.
C．How to use them effectively. D．How to find more applications.
41．In the study the participants probably have to decide ____.
A．when to sacrifice a robot B．where to experience risks
C．which robot to work with D．what robots should be like
42．What can be inferred from Paulus' words
A．Humanized robots offer less help to people.
B．Humanizing robots too much may be improper.
C．Certain moral status should be attached to robots.
D．Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.
43．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．Robots, a Must for Future B．Humanized Robots, a New Trend
C．Robot Saved, People Take the Hit D．Humanized Robots, Replace Human
