【解析】试题分析：句意：在整个会议期间我一直在看钟表，因为我要去赶火车。根据上文判断出as 引导原因状语从句，根据have在本句中，词义为“有”，根据固定结构 Sb have sth to do 某人又某事要 做（在本句中to do 由主语完成），根据句意判断出本句符合本结构。故选C。
3. The students have been working hard on their lessons and their efforts 　　　with success in the end.
A.rewarded B.were rewarded
C.will reward D.will be rewarded
【答案】D
【解析】考查时态和语态。句意:学生们一直在努力学习功课,他们的付出最终会获得成功的。语境说学 生一直在努力学习(have been working hard),由此判断本空叙述将来的动作,应该用一般将来时;reward与 their efforts 之间为动宾关系,因此这里需要用被动语态。
4. Despite the previous rounds of talks, no agreement so far by the two sides.
A.has been reached B.was reached
C.will reach D.will have reached
【答案】A
【解析】句意:尽管先前进行了几轮会谈,但双方至今也没有达成协议。由时间状语"so far"可知,应用现在 完成时;又因主语agreement与reach之间是动宾关系,故用现在完成时的被动语态。
5. To my delight, I from hundreds of applicants to attend the opening ceremony.
A.was chosen B.was being chosen
C.would choose D.had chosen
【答案】A
6. I had a strong desire to reach in and play with the toy, but thankfully by the shop
window.
A.am held back B.held back

7. There are still many problems________ before we are ready for a long stay on the Moon.
A.solving B.solved
C.being solved D.to be solved
【答案】D
【解析】句意:在我们准备长时间待在月球上之前仍旧有很多问题需要解决。分析句子 结构可知,空处 在句中作定语。又根据语境可知此处表示没有发生的事,应用不定式形式,同时solve和 problems之间 为动宾关系,因此用不定式的被动式,故选D项。
8. The airport ________ next year will help promote tourism in this area.
A.being completed B.to be completed
C.completed D.having been completed
【答案】B
六、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Oh my God, the robots are taking over! We’re doomed! Doomed! Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, it’s become clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the robots are taking over. The latest example is the government’s new guidelines for self-driving cars.
Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America. Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021, self-driving cars will play a big part in urban settings.
Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobile-related accidents, and we believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually.
Makes sense. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup. On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds?
But there’s a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but behind the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you name it. Robots aren’t just taking over in the workplace.
The question is, where can’t a robot fun_ction better than a human? How about writing songs? A robot can go through every combination of notes in record time and come up with a pleasing melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammy-winning song co-written by Hank Human and R-3071 in our future?
Finally, it’s only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates. Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and come up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors.
Actually, it’s too bad such technology isn’t available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide.
1. What does the underlined word “agitated” mean?
A. Tired B. Cautious
C. Careful D. Anxious
2. What doubt does the writer have about self-driving cars?
A. How passengers behave in it.
B. How robot drivers get the license
C. How they avoid crashing into other car
D. How they respond to walkers on a busy street
3. The last questions asked in the sixth paragraph reflects the writer’s .
A. confidence in robots, winning Grammy Awards
B. eagerness to listen to songs written by robots
C. doubt about robots’ ability to write songs
D. curiosity about the future Grammy songs
4. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Robots will control the world in every field
B. Robots are coming but not soon enough
C. Robots are being used in our daily life
D. Robots can drive cars and write music
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者讲述无人驾驶的汽车和机器人等现代科学技术，从而联想到未来机器人将会代替人类做好一切，并发表了自己的观点。
1. D【解析】词句猜测题。根据上文提到的“less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving” 可推断，画线词agitated也是用来说明机器人司机比之于人类的优势，根据常理推断机器人司机不会像 人类一样在连环相撞的现场感到焦虑，所以画线词词义与anxious意义相近。故选D。
2. D【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段第二句On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street.可知，作者想知道无人驾驶的汽车对冲进街道的行人如何反 应。故选D。
4. B【解析】标题判断题。根据第一段首句Oh my God, the robots are taking over!和最后一段Actually, it’s too bad such technology isn’t available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide.可推断，文章主要 讲述机器人时代将要来临但是还没有到来，因此推断B项“机器人将要来到但还不足够快”为最佳标题。 故选B。
B
There is no doubt that many parents want to mold (塑造)their child to be better, faster, smarter and more skilled. Even though human parents can’t do that, a robot that builds its own children can. Scientists at the University of Cambridge in England have created a mother robot that not only creates its own children, but tests out their performance.
The mother robot analyzes(分析)the performance of each of the “children” it creates, and passes down good characters to the next generation
For example, as the mother creates them and puts them to work, she measures how they’re behaving, and she uses data from this behavior to create the next generation of robots.
The mother robot can actually build hundreds of child robots and see the performance of these child robots. And if their performance is good, keep their design for the next generation. And if bad, just let it go.
“We program the robots based on some functions that define(规定)the reward the robots are going to get, depending on the construction that they make. They cannot change their own reward. For the child robot, the longer the distance the robot walks, the better the reward it receives,” said Fumiya Iida, the lead researcher.
After several generations, the “children” were running twice as fast.
“The mother robot produced 500 robots to see which one is good and which one is bad,” said Iida.
The researchers believe that the machines can be used in a car factory, for example, where robot cameras examine each ear in production line, find out any mistakes, and then design a better car.
5. What is special about the mother robot?
A. It can analyze data
B. It can create child robots
C. It’s smarter than human mothers
D. It can build and improve its own children.
6. How does the mother robot mold her own children to be better?
A. It teachers them how to behave better.
B. It reprograms the bad ones after analyzing their performance
C. It copies hundreds of child robots and then chooses the best ones.
D. It keeps the good characters for the next generation to create a better robot.
7. What is the key point in influencing the child robot to receive a reward?
A. Size B. Distance. C. Behavior D. Speed.
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一款非常特殊的机器人---机器人“妈妈”。她不但能“生下”机器人“孩子”，还能对自己的“子女”的行为进行判断，从而保留好的“基因”，去除不好的，进而“培育出”更好地下一代。
6. D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段和第四段可知，机器人妈妈生下孩子，而后判断和分析孩子的行 为表现，保留好的“基因”，去除不好的，进而“培育出”更好地下一代。故选D。
7. B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“For the child robot, the longer the distance the robot walks, the better the reward it receives.”可知，机器人孩子行走的距离越长，其接受的奖励越好。故选B。

1. to finish【解析】考查非谓语动词。rush to do sth.为固定搭配,表示"匆忙去做某事"。
2. done【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处为get sth. done结构,表示"使……被做,完成……"。
3. Inventions【解析】考查名词单复数。根据空后的谓语have可以判断出此空应该填名词复数形式,且此空位 于句首,故首字母应大写。
4. noisy【解析】考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰名词cities,所以应该用形容词。
5. a【解析】考查冠词。lead a... life为固定搭配,表示"过一种……的生活"。
6. what【解析】考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,see后是一个宾语从句,空格处为连词,且从句中缺少like 的宾语,因此用what。

9. his【解析】考查代词。此处指Benjamin的外祖母,所以用his。
10. who/that【解析】考查定语从句的引导词。此处先行词为one,表示人,定语从句中缺少主语,因此who和that 都可以。
