A
(2016·九江市高三二模)Robots
performing
tasks
according
to
a
predetermined
set
of
instructions
are
nothing
new.But
robots
able
to
learn
how
to
cook
by
watching
videos
are
a
completely
different
approach,
which
is
conducted
by
a
group
of
researchers
at
the
University
of
Maryland.
  If
you
have
posted
a
video
of
your
favorite
recipe
on
the
popular
website
YouTube,
chances
are
that
it
will
be
used
by
a
robot.University
of
Maryland's
professor
Yiannis
Aloimonos,
leader
of
the
group,
said
“There
exists
a
large
amount
of
video
information
on
the
Internet
that
our
robots
can
capitalize_on.”
“At
present,
the
videos
are
fed
electronically,”said
research
scientist
Cornelia
Fermuller.“Originally,
we
took
our
own
videos,
our
cameras
looking
at
us
doing
the
cooking,”she
explained.“And,
as
the
robot
advances,
it
reacts
to
good
quality
videos.And
it
will
react
to
even
lower
quality
homemade
videos.”
So
far,
the
robot
named
Julia
can
make
a
simple
salad
by
breaking
each
task
into
basic
parts,
such
as
grasping
a
spoon,
bringing
it
to
the
bowl,
stirring
the
salad
and
observing
the
results.
But
why
teach
a
robot
how
to
understand
a
video
when
it
can
easily
follow
a
fixed
program?Aloimonos
believes
predetermined
instructions
lack
flexibility.He
thinks
one
of
the
problems
is
how
to
make
the
robot
understand
and
use
what
it
learns
during
a
certain
task,
the
so called
feedback
(反馈意见);
another
is
the
introduction
of
language.
“I
believe
it
will
take
quite
some
time
before
the
robots
are
able
to
understand
metaphorical
(比喻性的)
language,”he
added.“But,”
he
said,“we
don't
need
that
to
create
a
new
world
where
the
robots
will
be
working
for
us.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇科普说明文。机器人按既定指令完成任务并不让人觉得新鲜,但能看着视频学做饭的机器人,你可能前所未闻。
1.The
underlined
phrase
“capitalize
on”
in
Paragraph
2
probably
can
be
replaced
by
________.
A.take
hold
of      
B.make
use
of
C.keep
track
of
D.catch
sight
of
解析:选B 词义猜测题。由第二段的第一句“If
you
have
posted
...used
by
a
robot.”可知,机器人能利用网上大量的视频信息。结合第二段的最后一句可知,capitalize
on应与“make
use
of”意思相近,因此选择B项。
2.Aloimonos
probably
agrees
that
at
present
the
robot
________.
A.can
not
fully
digest
what
it
learns
B.can
not
make
a
simple
salad
C.can
follow
home made
videos
D.can
understand
metaphorical
language
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段Aloimonos的话可知,该机器人目前还不能理解比喻性的语言。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可推知,Aloimonos可能认为目前该机器人还不能完全消化它学的东西,应选择A项。
3.Robots
are
taught
to
understand
a
video
mainly
because
________.
A.they
can
easily
follow
fixed
programs
B.they
are
smart
enough
to
learn
cooking
C.cooking
videos
are
more
interesting
to
watch
D.predetermined
instructions
are
not
flexible
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的前两句可知,教机器人理解视频是因为预定指令不够灵活,应选择D项。
4.Which
of
the
following
might
best
serve
as
the
title
of
the
passage
A.Robots
Creating
a
New
World
B.Robots
Making
Cooking
Videos
C.Robots
Learning
to
Cook
by
Watching
Videos
D.Robots
Performing
Tasks
by
Following
Instructions
解析:选C 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了通过观看视频学做饭的机器人,因此C项是最佳标题。
B
(2016·银川一中高三年级第三次月考)
Life
in
2060
Let
us
suppose
it
is
now
about
A.D.
2060.
Let's
make
believe
(假装;虚构)
it
is
about
45
years
from
now.
Of
course,
things
have
changed
and
life
is
very
different.
Voyages
to
the
moon
are
being
made
every
day.
It
is
as
easy
to
take
a
holiday
on
the
moon
today
as
it
was
for
the
people
in
1960
to
take
a
holiday
in
Europe.
At
a
number
of
scenic
spots
on
the
moon,
many
hotels
have
been
built.
The
hotels
are
air conditioned,
naturally.
In
order
that
everyone
can
enjoy
the
beautiful
scenery
on
the
moon,
every
room
has
at
least
one
picture
window.
Everything
imaginable
is
provided
for
entertainment
of
young
and
old.
What
are
people
eating
now
People
are
still
eating
food.
They
haven't
yet
started
to
take
on
heir
(继承)
supply
of
energy
directly
as
electrical
current
or
as
nuclear
power.
They
may
some
day.
But
many
foods
now
come
in
pill
form,
and
the
food
that
goes
into
the
pill
continues
to
come
mainly
from
green
plants.
Since
there
are
several
times
as
many
people
in
the
world
today
as
there
were
a
hundred
years
ago,
most
of
our
planet's
surface
has
to
be
filled.
The
deserts
are
irrigated
with
water
and
crops
are
no
longer
destroyed
by
pests.
The
harvest
is
always
good.
Farming,
of
course,
is
very
highly
developed.
Very
few
people
have
to
work
on
the
farm.
It
is
possible
to
run
the
farm
by
just
pushing
a
few
buttons
now
and
then.
People
are
now
largely
vegetarians
(素食者).
You
see,
as
the
number
of
people
increases,
the
number
of
animal
decreases.
Therefore,
people
have
to
be
vegetarians
and
we
are
healthier
both
in
our
bodies
and
in
our
minds,
and
we
know
the
causes
and
cure
of
disease
and
pain,
and
it
is
possible
to
get
rid
of
diseases.
No
one
has
to
be
ill
any
more.
Such
would
be
our
life
in
2060.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。2060年我们的生活会是什么样子,作者为我们描绘出了一番景象。

C
(2016·银川质量检测)Many
of
the
world's
countries
have
reached
or
are
approaching
zero
population
growth
(ZPG).
Nearly
all
such
lands
are
economically
well
developed.
They
include
much
of
Europe
(including
Russia),
the
United
States,
Canada,
Japan,
and
Australia.
As
the
rate
of
natural
increase
(RNI)
declines,
two
things
happen.
First,
the
population
begins
to
decline
if
the
loss
is
not
balanced
by
immigration.
Second,
a
country's
population
ages
because
there
are
fewer
births.
Is
achieving
ZPG
good
or
bad
What
happens
when
a
country's
population
begins
to
drop
Many
people,
after
all,
believe
that
population
decline
is
a
good
thing.
But
is
it
good
for
everyone
Does
everyone
agree
An
aging
population
can
create
many
problems.
Senior
citizens
require
more
health
care
and
medical
attention.
Rather
than
paying
into
retirement
programs,
they
begin
to
draw
from
their
pensions.
In
the
US,
the
Social
Security
program,
according
to
many
experts,
will
be
used
up
by
2018.
It
will
pay
out
more
money
than
it
takes
in.
Additionally,
a
great
number
of
jobs
go
begging
in
search
of
people
willing
or
able
to
do
them.
Many
of
these
jobs
are
entry level
positions
that
pay
low
wages.
With
an
aging
population,
who
will
fill
them
At
the
other
extreme,
some
positions
require
a
large
number
of
training
and
highly
specialized
skills.
Who
will
fill
these
positions
as
retirees
leave
the
workforce
The
answer
to
the
problem
of
declining
and
aging
population
is
simple:
increased
migration.
Today
many
people,
particularly
those
from
less
developed
countries,
are
migrating
in
search
of
employment.
Many
are
willing
to
take
jobs
that
cannot
(or
will
not)
be
filled
by
the_domestic_population.
Others
are
well
educated
and
highly
skilled.
Both
groups
contribute
to
a
country's
economy
progress
in
many
ways.
Further,
they
add
to
the
richness
of
a
country's
culture.
Of
greatest
importance,
perhaps,
is
the
fact
that
they
have
become
absolutely
necessary
to
the
economy
of
many
lands.
As
you
can
see,
for
many
countries
and
for
most
immigrants,
migration
is
a
win win
situation.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。许多发达国家正在或即将经历人口零增长,这是利还是弊?作者认为,人口零增长会导致人口老龄化,从而导致劳动力不足,加大社会福利负担,不利于国家的经济发展。所以增加移民是解决这个问题的办法,因为增加移民既能解决劳动力不足的问题,又能引进人才,丰富文化,带动经济发展。
9.In
the
writer's
view,
which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE
A.Not
everyone
agrees
that
achieving
ZPG
is
absolutely
good.
B.Achieving
ZPG
is
every
country's
aim
in
spite
of
its
side
effects.
C.Achieving
ZPG
is
bad
for
senior
citizens.
D.Achieving
ZPG
is
good
for
employment.
解析:选A 推理判断题。第三段作者认为:人口零增长会导致人口老龄化,从而导致劳动力不足,加大社会福利负担,不利于国家的经济发展。由此可知,作者认为人口零增长有一些不利之处。故A项正确。
10.According
to
the
passage,
the
best
way
to
solve
the
problem
of
declining
and
aging
population
is
________.
A.to
improve
the
health
care
system
B.to
increase
RNI
C.to
increase
employment
D.to
increase
migration
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“The
answer
to
...
increased
migration.”可知,作者认为解决人口减少和人口老龄化的方法是增加移民。故选D项。
11.The
underlined
words
“the
domestic
population”
can
be
replaced
by
________.
A.people
within
the
country
B.people
from
developing
countries
C.people
without
a
college
education
D.people
living
abroad
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后五句“Additionally,
a
great
number
of
jobs
...
as
retirees
leave
the
workforce?”可知,人口老龄化会导致社会劳动力不足,这些职位将由谁来担任?第四段作者指出增加移民可以解决这些问题。许多移民愿意承担本国人不能或不愿做的事。由此可知,“the
domestic
population”是指相对移民而言的本国人。故选A项。
12.The
main
idea
of
the
last
paragraph
is
________.
A.the
advantages
of
increased
migration
B.the
problem
of
declining
and
aging
population
C.how
to
increase
migration
D.some
ways
to
enrich
a
country's
culture
解析:选A 段落大意题。最后一段的中心句是该段第一句。由该句和下文可知,本段主要说明了增加移民的好处。故选A项。
