VI.阅读理解
Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the numerous questions from students in the online class. Professor Goel already had 8 teaching assistants，but that wasn’t enough to deal with huge questions from students.
Many students drop out of online courses for lack of teaching support. When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered，their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to change this situation by creating a virtual assistant named Jill Watson，which is based on the IBM Watson platform.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first，the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team found 40，000 questions that had ever been asked since the class started from the online discussion forum. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments，Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students，who were studying artificial intelligence，were interacting with artificial intelligence and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all questions raised by students. The name，Jill Watson will，of course，change to something else next term. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of AI than say，Elon Musk，Stephen Hawking，Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak.
1. Why did Professor Goel create a virtual teaching assistant
A. His course was not interesting enough.
B. He felt confused about how to teach online.
C. Students’ questions were too many to handle.
D. His students were unsatisfied with the assistants.
2. What do we learn about Jill Watson
A. She turned out to be a great success.
B. She was unwelcome to students at first.
C. Her true identity was still a secret to students.
D. Her name will be kept for the next virtual assistant.
3. What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson
A. Replace her with different versions.
B. Enable her to answer more questions.
C. Recommend her to some famous people.
D. Equip her with new questions and answers.
4. What’s the main idea of the text
A. A robot named Jill Watson gives an online course.
B. Robots will take humans’ place in online classes in the future.
C. A virtual teaching assistant is getting popular among the students.
D. A virtual teaching assistant helps solve online questions in large quantities.
VII.七选五
According to Jessica Hagy，author of How to Be Interesting，it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
1 ，if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous，trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than“What do you do for a living ”，you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. 2 ，it can bring in“I have this old，broken-down vehicle”or“I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.
3 If you can’t take their wine away，you should certainly try to take away their soapbox（讲台）. If you’re the host，you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 4 .
And what about that other dinner-party killer：awkward silence If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party，the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）. 5 . Just quickly turn around and say，“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.
A. How do you know the host
B. The first step is to go exploring
C. If you ask the question“How did you get here ”
D. Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E. Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F. What about that person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking
G. He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most

10. Personally 考查副词。所填的词修饰整个句子，所以用副词形式。
VI.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。佐治亚理工学院的Ashok Goel教授开发了一款人工智能教学助手，以帮助处理在线课堂上学生提出的众多问题。文章主要介绍了Goel教授和他的团队开发这款名为Jill Watson的虚拟助手的经过，以及学生们对她的反应和这款虚拟助手未来的前景。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the numerous questions from students in the online class.”可知，由于学生的问题太多，Goel教授创建了一款虚拟的教学助手。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After some adjustments，Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time...and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being.”与“The students were actually very positive about the experience.”可知，结果Jill Watson获得了巨大的成功。
3.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all questions raised by students.”可知，Goel教授接下来计划使Jill Watson能够回答更多的问题。
4.D 主旨大意题。第一段提到“Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the numerous questions from students in the online class.”，之后文章就此展开。所以文章主要内容为虚拟助手帮助解决大量的在线问题。
VII.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在Jessica Hagy看来，在晚宴上做个有趣的人并不难。文章鼓励读者走出去探索一下，尝试不同的食物并与陌生人交谈，同时举例说明了与人交谈时，该如何引出话题及如何应对各种不同的情况。文章旨在介绍如何提高与人交谈的技巧，倡导建立和谐美好、互相关爱的社会人际关系。
1. B 句意判断法解题。根据空格后的“如果你处于舒适区之外或如果你是初次到访某人的家”可知，空格处应指出该如何做。根据后文So the main thing is just to show up （所以最重要的事就是露面）可知，空格处应该是鼓励去探索。综观各选项，只有B项“第一步就是去探索”符合语境。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
2. C 关联逻辑法解题。由空格后的“我拥有这辆破旧的车”及“我和这些疯狂的人一起坐公共汽车，他们在后面对愚蠢的笑话发笑”可知，空格处应是问对方是如何来参加聚会的，跟出行方式有关，故选C项“如果你问‘你怎么来的？’这个问题”。空格后的it指的就是C项中的the question。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
3. F 词汇锁定法解题。由空格后一句中的两个their及语境可知，此空针对的是一些不太受欢迎的人。再根据本句以问号结尾可锁定A、F两项。很明显，F项中的who has had too much to drink（喝得太多的人）及won’t stop talking（讲个不停的人）这两类人与空后的take their wine away（拿走他们的酒）和take away their soapbox（撤掉他们的讲台）一一对应，故选F项。由下段开头的“And what about...”也可锁定F项。本设空类型属于段落主题句类。
4. E 关联逻辑法解题。本段讲的是如何对付贪杯或说个不停的人。空格前讲了几个方法，该空应为其他方法，故选E项“或者把谈话转到他们没什么可说的话题上”。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
5. G 关联逻辑法解题。本段讲的是如何应对晚宴上的冷场。空格前提到可以赞美主人，空格后举例说明如何赞美，由此可知，空格处与host有关，G项“他或她是最能感受到那种尴尬压力的人”符合语境。该项中的He or she指的就是空格前句中的the host。本设空类型属于过渡句类。

VII.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在Jessica Hagy看来，在晚宴上做个有趣的人并不难。文章鼓励读者走出去探索一下，尝试不同的食物并与陌生人交谈，同时举例说明了与人交谈时，该如何引出话题及如何应对各种不同的情况。文章旨在介绍如何提高与人交谈的技巧，倡导建立和谐美好、互相关爱的社会人际关系。
1. B 句意判断法解题。根据空格后的“如果你处于舒适区之外或如果你是初次到访某人的家”可知，空格处应指出该如何做。根据后文So the main thing is just to show up （所以最重要的事就是露面）可知，空格处应该是鼓励去探索。综观各选项，只有B项“第一步就是去探索”符合语境。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
2. C 关联逻辑法解题。由空格后的“我拥有这辆破旧的车”及“我和这些疯狂的人一起坐公共汽车，他们在后面对愚蠢的笑话发笑”可知，空格处应是问对方是如何来参加聚会的，跟出行方式有关，故选C项“如果你问‘你怎么来的？’这个问题”。空格后的it指的就是C项中的the question。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
3. F 词汇锁定法解题。由空格后一句中的两个their及语境可知，此空针对的是一些不太受欢迎的人。再根据本句以问号结尾可锁定A、F两项。很明显，F项中的who has had too much to drink（喝得太多的人）及won’t stop talking（讲个不停的人）这两类人与空后的take their wine away（拿走他们的酒）和take away their soapbox（撤掉他们的讲台）一一对应，故选F项。由下段开头的“And what about...”也可锁定F项。本设空类型属于段落主题句类。
4. E 关联逻辑法解题。本段讲的是如何对付贪杯或说个不停的人。空格前讲了几个方法，该空应为其他方法，故选E项“或者把谈话转到他们没什么可说的话题上”。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
5. G 关联逻辑法解题。本段讲的是如何应对晚宴上的冷场。空格前提到可以赞美主人，空格后举例说明如何赞美，由此可知，空格处与host有关，G项“他或她是最能感受到那种尴尬压力的人”符合语境。该项中的He or she指的就是空格前句中的the host。本设空类型属于过渡句类。
