Ⅰ.七选五
A
lack
of
sleep
causes
many
problems
that
greatly
affect
the
quality
of
life.While
no
one
knows
why
we
sleep,
it
is
a
universal
biological
need.__1__
How
much
sleep
do
I
actually
need?
A
study
in
Finland
found
that
the
amount
of
sleep
that
relates
to
the
fewest
sick
days
was
7.63
hours
a
night
for
women
and
7.76
hours
for
men.__2__
When
we
get
sleep
fewer
than
seven
hours
or
our
sleep
often
falls
below
six
hours,
we
are
at
an
increased
risk
of
health
problems.
__3__
Today,
some
people
practice
“polyphasic
(多阶段的)sleep”，
based
on
the
idea
that
by
dividing
your
sleep
into
parts，you
can
get
away
with
less
of
it.Professor
Dinges
concludes
it's
possible
to
train
oneself
to
need
less
sleep
in
short
periods.__4__
And
he
notes
that
even
for
those
who
can
function
well
on
less
sleep,
we
still
don't
know
how
the
practice
might
be
affecting
chemical
processes,
mood,
and
other
factors.
I
can't
sleep.Is
my
phone
really
keeping
me
up?
When
light
enters
your
eye,
it
hits
your
retina
(视网膜)
to
send
signals
to
the
hypothalamus
(下丘脑),
which
controls
sleep
cycles.When
your
retina
takes
in
less
light,
your
hypothalamus
assumes
it's
time
to
sleep
and
it'll
signal
the
pineal
gland
(松果腺)
to
make
you
sleepy.And
when
the
hypothalamus
senses
light，it
tells
the
pineal
gland
to
stop
its
work.__5__
Some
research
suggests
that
the
light
from
phones
and
tablets
are
especially
influential
in
human
sleep
cycles.
A．Adequate
sleep
can
benefit
us
a
lot.
B．Can
I
train
myself
to
need
less
sleep?
C．How
can
I
make
myself
sleep
less?
D．No
animal
with
a
brain
can
survive
without
it.
E．This
is
why
we're
told
to
minimize
screen
time
before
bed.
F．And
most
adults
function
best
after
seven
to
nine
hours
of
sleep
a
night.
G．But
he
adds
it
doesn't
seem
possible
to
train
oneself
to
need
less
sleep
per
24?hour
cycle.
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了充足睡眠的重要性。
1．D 解析：根据空前的内容，尤其是“While
no
one
knows
why
we
sleep，it
is
a
universal
biological
need”可知，尽管没有人知道我们为什么要睡觉，但它是一种普遍的生理需要。空处承接上文，应是与睡眠的重要性有关的，故D项“没有它，任何有大脑的动物都不能生存”符合语境。
2．F 解析：根据该部分小标题“How
much
sleep
do
I
actually
need”及空前的“A
study
in
Finland
found
that
the
amount
of
sleep
that
relates
to
the
fewest
sick
days
was
7.63
hours
a
night
for
women
and
7.76
hours
for
men”可知，空处内容应是与研究结果及睡眠的时长对人健康的影响有关的，故F项“而且大多数成年人晚上睡了七至九个小时后工作(表现)最好”符合语境。
3．B 解析：此空为该部分小标题，根据该部分的内容，尤其是“some
people
practice
‘polyphasic(多阶段的)sleep’，based
on
the
idea
that
by
dividing
your
sleep
into
parts...
less
sleep
in
short
periods”可知，该部分主要讲的是人能否训练自己以使自己需要的睡眠更少，再结合文中另外两个小标题为问句可推知，B项符合语境。
4．G 解析：根据语境可知，空处及空后一句与空前的“Professor
Dinges
concludes
it's
possible
to
train
oneself
to
need
less
sleep
in
short
periods”之间存在意义上的转折，故G项“但是他补充道，在每24小时的循环中训练自己需要更少的睡眠似乎是不可能的”符合语境。G项中的“train
oneself
to
need
less
sleep”与上文中的“train
oneself
to
need
less
sleep”的照应关系亦是提示。
5．E 解析：根据上文中的“When
your
retina
takes
in
less
light，your
hypothalamus
assumes
it's
time
to
sleep
and
it'll
signal
the
pineal
gland(松果腺)
to
make
you
sleepy.And
when
the
hypothalamus
senses
light，it
tells
the
pineal
gland
to
stop
its
work”可知，当下丘脑感知到光时，它会提示松果腺停止工作，即停止输送使人瞌睡的信号，再结合下文中的“the
light
from
phones
and
tablets
are
especially
influential
in
human
sleep
cycles”可知，E项“这就是我们被告知睡觉前要减少
(看发光)屏幕的时间的原因”符合语境。

Robots
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Information
about
what
is
happening
is
“feedback(反馈)”
into
the
robot
to
tell
what
to
do
next.Our
eyes，ears
and
other
senses
are
our
feedback.They
tell
us
what
is
going
on
around
us.So
robots
are
like
human
beings
in
two
ways.They
work
and
they
have
feedback.In
some
ways
robots
are
better
than
human
beings.They
work
quickly
and
do
not
make
mistakes.They
do
not
get
bored
doing
the
same
job
over
and
over
again.And
they
never
get
tired.So
robots
are
very
useful
in
factories.They
can
be
taught
to
do
many
different
jobs.First
their
electronic
brain
must
be
shown
how
the
job
is
done.A
person
moves
the
robot's
“arms”
and
“hands”
through
each
part
of
the
job.The
most
intelligent
robots
can
move
and
see.Their
eyes
are
cameras.Their
fingers
can
feel
shapes
and
sizes
of
the
objects.These
robots
have
computer
brains
linked
to
their
eyes
and
fingers,
which
control
their
actions.The
expensive
robots
are
used
in
scientific
research.They
do
such
job
as
handling
radioactive
materials.

A
Ricky
lived
in
a
beautiful
house.Though
he
didn't
help
much
around
the
house,
he
was
still
pleased
when
his
parents
bought
him
a
robot.Since
the
robot
arrived，cooking,
cleaning
and
gathering
up
old
clothes
from
Ricky's
bedroom
floor
were
all
done
by
it.On
the
first
day,
Ricky
had
left
his
bedroom
in
a
truly
disastrous
state
before
he
went
to
sleep.When
he
woke
up
the
next
morning,
everything
was
perfectly
clean
and
tidy.
In
fact,
it
was
too
clean;
Ricky
could
not
find
his
favorite
T?shirt,
nor
his
favorite
toy.The
same
was
starting
to
happen
to
other
things.Ricky
stared
at
the
robot
and
decided
to
spy
on(暗中监视)
it.He
followed
it
around
the
house.Finally
he
caught
it
red?handed(现场抓获)—the
robot
was
picking
up
one
of
his
toys
to
hide
it.
Ricky
ran
to
his
parents
and
said
that
the
robot
was
badly
programmed.Hearing
the
boy's
complaints,
the
robot
returned
some
toys
and
clothes
to
him.
“Here,
Sir.I
didn't
know
I
was
bothering
you，”
said
the
robot，with
its
metallic(尖厉刺耳的)
voice.
“You
have
been
stealing
my
things
for
weeks！”
the
boy
answered
angrily.
“They
were
left
on
the
floor.I
thought
you
didn't
like
them.I
am
programmed
to
collect
all
that
are
not
wanted
and
send
them
to
those
who
need
them.I
am
a
maximum
efficiency
machine.Do
you
see？”
the
robot
explained
with
pride.
Ricky
started
feeling
ashamed
of
having
treated
those
things
as
though
they
were
useless.It
was
true
that
many
other
people
would
be
delighted
to
treat
those
things
with
all
the
care
in
the
world.He
understood
that
the
robot
was
not
badly
programmed
and
that,
or
rather，it
had
been
programmed
extremely
well!
Since
then,
Ricky
decided
to
become
a
maximum
efficiency
boy.
这是一篇记叙文，讲述了机器人清理Ricky房间一事，这使Ricky意识到了自己的错误，他决心向机器人学习，做一个高效的人。
1．Before
the
robot
arrived，Ricky
________.
A．did
little
housework
B．had
to
cook
by
himself
C．had
no
one
to
talk
with
D．always
kept
his
bedroom
clean
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Though
he
didn't
help
much
around
the
house”可知，在机器人到来之前，Ricky几乎不做家务。
2．What
happened
to
the
robot?
A．It
was
destroyed
by
Ricky.
B．It
was
not
well
programmed.
C．It
was
misunderstood
by
Ricky.
D．It
broke
many
Ricky's
toys.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“decided
to
spy
on(暗中监视)it...he
caught
it
red?handed(现场抓获)”，第三段中的“Ricky
ran
to
his
parents
and
said
that
the
robot
was
badly
programmed”，第五段中的“You
have
been
stealing
my
things
for
weeks”以及最后一段中的“He
understood
that...extremely
well”可推知，Ricky对机器人产生了误解。
3．What
influence
did
the
robot
have
on
Ricky?
A．Ricky
would
help
those
who
need
help.
B．Ricky
would
do
everything
well
and
efficiently.
C．Ricky
would
do
as
much
housework
as
he
could.
D．Ricky
would
design
more
robots
like
this
one.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I
am
a
maximum
efficiency
machine”以及文章最后一段中的“Since
then，Ricky
decided
to
become
a
maximum
efficiency
boy”可推断出，在机器人的影响下，Ricky决心高效地做事情。
4．Which
of
the
following
can
describe
the
changes
of
Ricky's
feelings?
A．pleased—doubtful—angry—ashamed
B．angry—happy—ashamed—surprised
C．pleased—angry—doubtful—ashamed
D．surprised—happy—ashamed—angry
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“he
was
still
pleased”，第二段中的“decided
to
spy
on(暗中监视)it”，倒数第三段中的“the
boy
answered
angrily”以及最后一段中的“feeling
ashamed”可知答案。
B
Since
the
late
1980s,
nothing
has
made
Peccioli
residents
happier
than
collecting
garbage.At
that
time,
the
small
town
built
one
of
the
most
advanced
dumping(垃圾)
sites
in
Italy,
designed
to
recycle
and
produce
green
energy.For
20
years,
it's
been
Peccioli's
most
profitable
business.
So
when
a
group
of
young
scientists
from
a
nearby
university
in
Pisa
called
Peccioli's
city
hall
and
asked
for
permission
to
run
a
robotics
test,
all
they
had
to
do
was
say
the
magic
word：trash.
During
a
recent
test
at
Peccioli's
main
street,
the
strange
garbage
collecting
robot
came
into
people's
sight：It
had
two
wheels,
rounded
arms,
and
two
big
inspiring
eyes,
seeming
to
have
escaped
from
the
cartoon
movie
Wall·E.
Like
a
taxi
answering
a
call,
DustCart
rode
across
the
street
to
meet
the
caller.Once
the
robot
arrived,
it
asked
for
a
personal
ID
number
that
both
identifies
the
user
and
tracks
the
garbage.It
also
sorted
out
the
trash
being
dumped
organic,
recyclable
or
waste.DustCart
then
opened
its
belly
bin
(垃圾肚),
collected
the
trash
and
took
it
to
a
fake
dumping
site.
Besides
replacing
the
garbage
man,
Dario,
the
head
scientist,
said
DustCart
could
also
be
an
answer
to
the
noise
pollution
that
comes
with
traditional
trash
collection
in
Italy.In
cities
like
Rome,
for
example,
noisy
trucks
collect
garbage
in
the
midnight.To
solve
that
problem,
DustCart
runs
on
a
silent,
specially?designed
battery
operated
engine.
However,
its
whole
reaction
time
still
seems
too
slow
to
deal
with
any
real
situation.Placing
DustCart
throughout
the
crowded
streets
of
European
capitals
is
an
even
farther
reach.
“We
still
need
to
work
on
it，”
admitted
the
scientists，“but
we
are
on
the
right
track.”
Fortunately,
the
research
team
has
time
and
money
to
do
it.DustCart
is
part
of
a
project
called
“DustBot”，
a
$3.9
million
research
program
that
started
in
2006
to
implement
robotics
in
society
in
useful
ways,
such
as
cleaning
the
streets.
It
was
given
a
friendly
look
to
encourage
interaction
with
humans.But
for
some
Italians,
the
idea
of
handing
their
trash
to
robots
seems
a
little
too
advanced—or
odd.Even
in
Peccioli.
“Perhaps
I
find
it
hard
to
give
my
final
opinion
on
a
project
like
this，”
said
Luca
Di
Sandro,
a
small
businessman
from
the
town.“But
I
have
become
curious.”
在意大利的Peccioli，科学家设计了在街道上清理垃圾的机器人，这项研究在进行中，人们对它的接受也需要个过程。
5．From
the
first
paragraph
we
learn
that
________.
A．Peccioli
met
the
serious
garbage
problem
in
the
1980s
B．Peccioli
owns
the
biggest
dumping
site
in
Italy
C．people
in
Peccioli
benefit
a
lot
from
collecting
trash
D．people
in
Peccioli
only
use
green
energy
from
garbage
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段的介绍，尤其是最后一句可以看出，Peccioli人以垃圾回收为业，从中获益颇多。
6．One
of
the
purposes
of
DustCart's
asking
for
the
user's
ID
number
was
to
________.
A．charge
the
person
automatically
B．follow
the
moving
path
of
the
garbage
C．record
the
family's
monthly
amount
of
trash
D．get
the
person's
comment
on
the
service
later
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“Once
the
robot
arrived,
it
asked
for
a
personal
ID
number
that
both
identifies
the
user
and
tracks
the
garbage.”可知，留下垃圾投放人的ID号码是为了可以追踪其扔掉的垃圾。
7．Compared
with
traditional
trash
collection,
DustCart
________.
A．reduces
the
cost
greatly
B．makes
much
less
noise
C．works
better
in
trash
recycling
D．can
work
in
the
midnight
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中“Dario,
the
head
scientist,
said
DustCart
could
also
be
an
answer
to
the
noise
pollution
that
comes
with
traditional
trash
collection
in
Italy”可知，与传统垃圾回收方式相比，DustCart能够降低噪音。
8．It
can
be
inferred
from
the
passage
that
________.
A．the
dumping
site
is
causing
serious
pollution
B．there
are
not
enough
garbage
men
in
Italy
C．DustCart
will
not
come
into
use
very
soon
D．traditional
trash
collection
causes
traffic

Ⅱ.概要写作
In
places
like
California,
the
Rocky
Mountains,
and
the
Southern
United
States,
wildfires
are
an
unavoidable
reality.
Wildfires
can
cause
damage
to
property
and
human
life,
but
they
have
many
beneficial
effects
on
native
vegetation
(植被),
animals,
and
ecosystems
that
have
evolved
with
fires.The
forests,
including
pine
barrens,
lodgepole
pine
forests
and
many
more,
require
fires
to
reproduce
because
the
trees
in
the
forest
are
adapted
to
only
produce
seeds
following
a
major
fire
event.Therefore,
without
them
many
of
these
forest
types
would
decline.
A
fire
renews
the
watershed
(集水区)
in
ways
including,
but
not
limited
to,
recycling
of
nutrients,
increasing
food
sources
for
fish
in
streams，supplement
to
stream?side
vegetation，spread
of
fire?adapted
plants，etc.not
to
mention
renewal
of
the
soil
chemistry
which
is
vital
to
the
forest
and
the
watershed.The
basis
is
that
of
someone
who
has
studied
wildfires
and
streams
since
the
1988
Yellowstone
wildfires.The
science
backs
up
how
natural
wildfires
can
be
favorable
through
research
publication
after
publication.
It's
like“resetting
the
clock”on
the
ecosystem，allowing
the
forest
to
function
smoothly
all
over
again
for
another
200
years.By
the
way,
a
stand
burning
fire
such
as
the
Yellowstone
fires
of
1988
also
results
in
the
landscape
of
younger
forest
mends
which
act
to
reduce
the
spread
of
future
wildfires
and
can
stop
a
major
wildfire
in
its
tracks.
The
bottom
line
is
that
we
may
need
today's
natural
wildfires
to
prevent
more
serious
catastrophic
fire
events
in
the
future.That
lesson
was
learned
in
Yellowstone
in
1988
which
was
a
year
of
disastrous
large?scale
fires
after
more
than
50
years
of
fire
suppression
(压制)．

that
they

The

either
bring
their

that
they

chance
for

of
standard

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
shop
wholly
run
by
a
robot
has
been
set
up
in
downtown
Tokyo，capital
of
Japan.The
shop
was
set
up
by
a
Japan?based
company.
When
a
customer
comes
to
the
shop,
he
will
be
given
a
pencil
and
a
piece
of
paper.When
he
is
looking
at
the
shelves
for
goods，he
can
write
down
the
number
of
each
thing
he
wants
to
buy.Then
he
may
come
to
a
machine，which
looks
like
a
bank
ATM(Automatic
Teller
Machine),
and
press
the
button
to
tell
the
machine
the
numbers
and
some
other
information
about
the
goods.The
machine
will
soon
give
the
customer
a
bill.When
the
customer
puts
money
into
the
machine,
change
will
be
given
back
at
once,
and
the
words
“Thank
you
for
coming”
will
appear
on
the
screen
of
the
machine.The
robot
will
select
the
ordered
goods
for
the
customer
according
to
computer
centre
information.
The
robot,
as
round
as
a
bucket，is
able
to
decide
the
weight
and
size
of
any
goods.It
will
always
take
the
bigger
and
heavier
goods
first
before
picking
up
the
smaller
and
lighter
ones，such
as
cakes
or
biscuits.Within
half
a
minute,
the
robot
will
make
everything
ready，and
wait
for
a
customer
at
a
certain
delivery
place.
The
shop
is
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
public
for
the
so?called
“silent
purchase”．It
means
that
a
customer
can
do
shopping
through
mail
or
even
an
international
computer
network
without
facing
the
shop
owner.This
will
reduce
the
cost
on
the
part
of
the
shop,
and
thus
lower
the
price
of
goods
for
the
customer.
The
robot
now
can
deal
with
most
goods
in
a
fast
and
easy
way.Only
when
dealing
with
those
goods
needing
special
care
will
the
robot
ask
for
help.
文章介绍了机器人商店的情况。

the
street.It
was
a
cold，silent
winter
night.His
mind
was
on
his
wife
Linda，who
had
been
in
a
car
accident
two
months
ago
and
was
now
lying
in
a
hospital
bed，waiting
for
more
money
for
her
operation.Jack
had
sold
everything
he
had，and
he
had
tried
his
best
to
borrow
money
from
all
the
people
and
banks
he
could.But
the
real
world
is
cruel.
A
large
amount
of
money
was
still
needed.To
Jack，it
would
mean
a
great
deal
of
suffering
to
see
his
wife
die
without
any
help.“I
have
only
one
option
left，”Jack
said
to
himself.Then
he
went
to
the_bank，his
workplace，again.For
several
days，he
observed
the
bank
and
planned
a
theft.
The
next
day，he
went
to
work
as
usual.Everything
seemed
normal：he
joked
with
his
workmates
and
helped
his
clients
as
he
always
did.But
no
one
noticed
that
he
had
brought
a
bigger
suitcase
to
work，instead
of
the
small
one
he
always
carried.At
5：00
pm，the
bank
closed，and
the_clerks
and
the_guards
had
all
gone
home.However，at
that
moment，Jack
was
in
the
bathroom，and
the
guards
didn't
notice
him，of
course.When
the
noises
coming
from
the
street
were
replaced
by
silence
and
everything
turned
dark，Jack
came
out
from
the
bathroom.He
first
cut
the
lines
of
the
alarms
and
monitors
with
tools
from
his
new
suitcase.
He
was
all
too
familiar
with
the
equipment
since
he
had
been
working
there
for
8
years
and
had
been
studying
the_security_system
for
the
past
30
days.Using
a
special
key
and
some
other
tools，he
then
easily
opened
the
doors
of
the
safes.The
bank's
security
system
wasn't
very
good，which
allowed
Jack
to
take
a
lot
of
money.Several
minutes
later，Jack
left
the
bank
with
a
heavy
bag
filled
with
money.

答案
Paragraph
1：
After
Jack
had
been
gone
from
the
bank
for
a
while，the
alarms
began
to
ring.The
police
arrived
at
the_bank
very
quickly，only
to
find
no
one
there.The
next
day
was
a
really
special
day
for
the
town，which
was
filled
with
newspapers
and
TV
reporters
covering
the
strange
theft.The_clerks
at
the
bank
were
busy
discussing
the
case，of
course，including
Jack.The
police
could
only
promise
to
catch
the
thieves
as
soon
as
possible，even
though
no
clues
had
been
found
yet.
Paragraph
2：
But
the
most
unlucky
man
was
the
manager
of
the
bank，an
old
man.He
seemed
to
be
the
only
person
to
blame
and
was
removed
from
his
position.At
last，with
enough
money
for
her
operation，Jack's
wife
was
saved.However，Jack
felt
guilty
about
the
manager
of
the
bank.He
could
not
forget
what
he
had
done
to
the
old
man.His
guilt
deepened
as
time
went
by.Finally，he
turned
himself
in
to
the
police
and
accepted
his
punishment.Robots

it's
the
other
way
around.
Recyclables
are
Wednesday,
and
garbage
is
Thursday.
You
need
to
put
your
garbage
can
next
to
the
road
in
front
of
your
house
by
7
am,
Thursday.
You
should
have
two
recycling
containers,
one
for
paper
and
cardboard,
and
one
for
glass.
Those
need
to
be
set
in
front
of
your
house
by
7
am,
Wednesday.
On
both
those
days,
our
pick?up
trucks
will
be
there
sometime
between
7
am
and
5
pm.
M：Oh,
I
see.
Thank
you.
Just
one
more
thing.
I
heard
that
the
city
is
going
to
start
collecting
yard
waste
soon.
Can
you
please
tell
me
a
bit
more
about
that?

M：Hello
!
This
is
Bruce
speaking.
W：Hello，Bruce!
This
is
Jane.
Would
you
like
to
go
to
a
movie
this
Saturday?
M：I'd
like
that,
but
I'm
afraid
I'm
not
free
the
day
after
tomorrow.
My
grandparents
are
coming
so
my
whole
family
will
stay
at
home
that
day.
W：Sounds
good，but
you
won't
miss
the
movie
that
we
have
been
looking
forward
to
，right?
M：Wait
a
minute!
You
mean
you
are
going
to
see
the
film
that
is
famous
for
its
Chinese
kungfu
in
it?
It's
on?
W：Yes!
So，do
you
have
any
time
on
Sunday?
I
think
we
may
see
the
movie
one
day
later.
M:
Great!
I'm
free
in
the
afternoon.
When
shall
we
meet?
W：The
movie
is
more
than
two
hours
long.
I
have
to
come
back
home
before
six.
So,
how
about
meeting
in
front
of
your
house
at
three?
Then
we
can
get
to
the
cinema
in
half
an
hour.
M：No
problem!
See
you
then!
W：See
you!

Dear
Mr
Smith，
I
am
writing
to
complain
about
the
bad
service
that
I
received
in
your
restaurant
last
Friday.
First
of
all,
we
were
given
a
table
just
in
front
of
the
toilets
because
there
was
not
any
other
table
available,
although
we
had
booked
one
in
advance.
Secondly,
we
had
to
wait
for
half
an
hour
to
be
served.
I
remember
clearly
that
we
arrived
at
7：30
pm.
After
the
long
wait
we
had
to
change
our
minds
and
ask
for
meat
because
there
was
no
seafood
left.
To
make
matters
worse,
my
husband
found
a
dead
fly
in
his
soup.
We
were
shocked
and
wanted
to
leave.
So
we
asked
for
the
bill,
expecting
we
wouldn't
have
to
pay
for
my
husband's
meal.Nobody
came.
After
15
minutes,
I
asked
to
see
the
manager.
The
head
waiter
told
us
that
you
were
on
holiday.
At
last,
I
was
forced
to
pay
$65
instead
of
$34
just
for
mine.
Today
I
really
want
you
to
know
about
these
unfortunate
incidents.
I
very
much
hope
that
in
future
you
will
take
care
of
these
mistakes.
Yours
faithfully,
Carmen
Pliego
第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节：(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
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
American
high
school
students
are
terrible
writers,
and
one
education
reform
group
thinks
it
has
an
answer:
robots.Or,
more
accurately,
robot?readers—computers
programmed
to
scan
students'
essays
and
spit
out
grades.
Mark
Shermis，professor
of
the
College
of
Education
at
the
University
of
Akron，is
helping
to
hold
a
contest,
set
up
by
the
William
and
Flora
Hewlett
Foundation
(WFHF),
which
promises
$100,000
in
prize
money
to
programmers
who
write
the
best
automated
grading
software.“If
you're
a
high
school
teacher
and
you
give
a
writing
task,
you're
walking
home
with
150
essays，”Shermis
said.“You're
going
to
need
some
help.”
Automated
essay
grading
was
first
proposed
in
the
1960s,
but
computers
back
then
were
not
up
to
the
task.In
the
late
1990s,
as
technology
improved,
several
textbook
and
testing
companies
jumped
into
the
field.Today，computers
are
used
to
grade
essays
on
South
Dakota's
student
writing
assessments
and
a
handful
of
other
exams，including
the
TOEFL
test
of
English
fluency,
taken
by
foreign
students.
The
Hewlett
contest
aims
to
show
that
computers
can
grade
as
well
as
English
teachers—only
much
more
quickly
and
without
all
that
depressing
red
ink.“Automated
essay
scoring
is
objective，”Shermis
said.“And
it
can
be
done
immediately.If
students
finish
an
essay
at
10
pm，they
will
get
a
result
at
10：01
pm.”
Take，for
instance,
the
Intelligent
Essay
Assessor,
a
web?based
tool
marketed
by
Pearson
Education,
Inc.Within
seconds,
it
can
analyze
an
essay
for
spelling,
grammar,
organization,
and
help
students
to
make
revisions.The
program
scans
for
key
words
and
analyzes
semantic
(语义的)
patterns，and
Pearson
claims
that
it
can
understand
the
meaning
of
text
much
the
same
as
a
human
reader.
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了robot?readers的发展历史以及它的优点和功能。
21．The
text
is
written
to
introduce
________.
A．robot?readers
B．education
reform

grading
software
was
popular
C．people
refused
automated
essay
grading

couldn't
grade
essays
automatically
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“...but
computers
back
then
were
not
up
to
the
task.”可知，在20世纪60年代电脑还不能自动给文章评分。故选D项。
23．What

A．The
prize
of
Hewlett
contest.
B．The
advantages
of
automated
essay
scoring.
C．The
application
of
automated
essay
scoring.
D．Teachers'
opinions
about
Hewlett
contest.
答案：B
解析：段落大意题。根据第四段中的“computers
can
grade
as
well
as
English
teachers—only
much
more
quickly
and
without
all
that
depressing
red
ink.‘Automated
essay

B
Researchers
are
placing
robotic
dogs
(机器狗)
in
the
homes
of
lonely
old
people
to
determine
whether
they
can
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
humans.Alan
Beck,
an
expert
in
human?animal
relationship,
and
Nancy
Edwards,
a
professor
of
nursing,
are
leading
the
animal?assisted
study
concerning
the
influence
of
robotic
dogs
on
old
people's
depression，physical
activity，and
life
satisfaction.“No
one
will
argue
that
an
older
person
is
better
off
being
more
active，challenged，or
stimulated
(刺激)，”Edwards
points
out.“The
problem
is
how
we
promote
(使……成为现实)
that，especially
for
those
without
friends
or
help.A
robotic
dog
could
be
a
solution.”
In
the
study，the
robot,
called
AIBO，is
placed
for
six
weeks
in
the
houses
of
some
old
people
who
live
alone.Before
placing
AIBO
in
the
home,
researchers
will
collect
baseline
data
for
six
weeks.These
old
people
will
keep
a
diary
to
note
their
feelings
and
activities
before
and
after
AIBO.Then，the
researchers
will
review
the
data
to
determine
if
it
has
inspired
any
changes
in
the
life
of
its
owner.
“I
talk
to
him
all
the
time，and
he
responds
to
my
voice，”
says
a
seventy?year?old
lady.“When
I'm
watching
TV，he'll
stay
in
my
arms
until
he
wants
down.He
has
a
mind
of
his
own.”
The
AIBOs
respond
to
certain
orders.The
researchers
say
they
have
some
advantages
over
live
dogs,
especially
for
old
people.Often
the
elderly
are
disabled
and
cannot
care
for
an
animal
by
walking
it
or
playing
with
it.A
robotic
dog
removes
exercise
and
feeding
concerns.
“At
the
beginning，it
was
believed
that
no
one
would
relate
to
the
robotic
dog,
because
it
was
metal
and
not
furry，”
Beck
says.“But
it's
amazing
how
quickly
we
have
given
up
that
belief.”
“Hopefully，down
the
road,
these
robotic
pets
could
become
a
more
valuable
health
helper.They
will
record
their
masters'
blood
pressure，oxygen
levels，or
heart
rhythms.AIBOs
may
even
one
day
have
games
that
can
help
stimulate
older
people's
minds.”
本文主要讲述了研究者们把机器狗放在孤独的老人的家里以确定机器狗能否改善人们的生活质量。
24．The
purpose
of
Beck
and
Edwards'
study
is
to
________.
A．understand
human?animal
relationship
B．make
lonely
old
people's
life
better
C．find
the
causes
of
old
people's
loneliness
D．introduce
robotic
dogs
to
ordinary
families
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。本文为科技说明文，第一段第一句话即交代了研究的目的。
25．In
the
research,
the
old
people
are
asked
to
________.
A．note
the
activities
of
AIBOs
B．keep
AIBOs
at
home
for
12
weeks
C．record
their
feelings
and
activities
D．analyze
the
collected
information
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。
由第二段第三句“These
old
people
will...
and
after
AIBO.”可知。
26．The
author
seems
to
suggest
that
the
future
robotic
dogs
may
________.
A．cure
certain
diseases
B．keep
old
people
active
C．change
people's
beliefs
D．look
more
like
real
dogs
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。A项曲解文中原意，机器狗是“health
helper”但不能治病；C、D两项与文章内容无关；B项从最后一段最后一句可推知。
C
3
Things
You
Probably
Didn't
Know
Nikola
Tesla
Invented
Nikola
Tesla
is
believed
to
have
invented
alternating
currents(交流电)．However,
he
made
many
other
important
discoveries
that
we
also
tend
to
forget
about.Here
are
three
of
them.
X?ray
technology
In
1884,
Nikola
Tesla
started
looking
into
what
he
called
“radiant
energy
of
invisible
kinds”．Through
that
process,
he
is
believed
to
have
accidentally
captured
(捕捉)
an
X?ray
image
a
few
weeks
before
Wilhem
Rontgen's
announcement
of
the
discovery
of
an
X?ray
in
late
December
of
1895.Tesla
never
pushed
for
his
discovery
to
be
the
first
one.Instead,
he
continued
with
his
own
experiments
with
X?ray
imaging
to
improve
upon
the
process.
The
radio
Nikola
Tesla
first
presented
that
radio
signals
were
just
another
frequency
that
needed
a
sender
and
receiver
in
1893
before
the
National
Electric
Light
Association.Then,
in
1897,
he
applied
for
his
two
patents
(专利)
surrounding
that
technology,
which
were
admitted
in
1900.However,
in
1904,
the
patent
office
changed
its
decision
and
awarded
the
patent
for
the
invention
of
the
radio
to
Guglielmo
Marconi.It
wasn't
until
1943
that
Tesla
was
proved
to
be
the
one
who
had
indeed
invented
the
radio.
The
remote
control
Tesla
also
invented
the
first
remote
control,
which
he
presented
in
1898.He
remotely
controlled
a
model
boat.The
invention
was
first
shown
at
an
exhibition
at
Madison
Square
Garden.Those_who_attended
_watched_with_their_mouths_open,_claiming
it
was
magic,
or
that
Tesla
had
little
trained
monkeys
inside
the
boat
to
control
it.
Nikola
Tesla
invented
several
of
the
technologies
we
take
for
granted
today.One
of
the
reasons
he
was
so
successful
was
that
he
focused
his
attention
on
one
area
to
really
understand
how
it
truly
works,
which,
in
his
case,
was
the
electrical
waves
all
around
us.If
it
wasn't
for
his
focus,
the
world
today
might
be
vastly
different.
本文介绍了Nikola
Tesla的三项科研成果。这些发明对人类的发展影响深远。
27．When
did
Nikola
Tesla
discover
the
X?ray?
A．In
1884. B．In
1893.
C．In
1895. D．In
1897.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，Wilhem
Rontgen在1895年12月底宣布自己发现了X射线，而Nikola
Tesla发现X射线的时间比他早几个星期。由此可见，Nikola
Tesla是在1895年发现了X射线。
28．Who
owned
the
patent
for
the
invention
of
the
radio
in
1934?
A．Nikola
Tesla.
B．Wilhem
Rontgen.
C．Guglielmo
Marconi.
D．The
National
Electric
Light
Association.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，在1904年，发明无线电通讯的专利落到了Guglielmo
Marconi手中，直到1943年Tesla才被证实是这项成果的发明者。综上可知，在1934年持有这项专利的是Guglielmo
Marconi。
29．The
underlined
part
means
________.
A．Tesla's
invention
of
remote
control
was
unbelievable
B．Tesla's
invention
of
remote
control
was
a
great
success
C．Tesla's
invention
of
remote
control
was
very
interesting
D．Tesla's
invention
of
remote
control
lived
up
to
their
expectations
答案：A
解析：句意猜测题。根据画线部分后的内容“it
was
magic”可知此处是指人们因为惊讶而目瞪口呆，故他们认为这项发明是难以置信的。故选A。
30．In
the
author's
opinion,
the
key
factor
in
Tesla's
success
was
________.
A．his
great
interest
in
technology
B．his
concentration
on
a
single
area
C．his
ability
to
focus
on
various
matters
D．his
ability
to
get
to
the
root
of
the
problem
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句中的One
of
the
reasons
he
was
so
successful
was
that
he
focused
his
attention
on
one
area可知，作者认为他成功的关键是他能将自己的注意力集中在一个领域。
第二节：(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Getting
older
No
one
really
knows
how
and
why
people
change
as
they
get
older.__31__
Aging
is
a
complex
and
varied
process
that
varies
in
how
it
affects
different
people
and
organs.In
fact，even
in
one
person，different
organ
systems
“age”
at
different
rates.
At
a
certain
point
in
our
lives
our
body
systems
will
begin
to
weaken.__32__
It
may
become
more
difficult
for
us
to
see
and
hear.The
slow
change
of
aging
causes
our
bodies
to
lose
some
of
their
ability
to
bounce
back
from
disease
and
injury.In
order
to
live
longer，we
have
always
tried
to
slow
or
stop
this
change
that
leads
us
toward
the
end
of
our
lives.
__33__
A
good
diet
plays
an
important
role.The
amount
and
the
type
of
exercise
we
get
are
another
two
factors.__34__
But
scientists
studying
the
aging
problem
want
to
know：why
do
people
grow
old?
They
hope
that
by
studying
the
aging
medical
science
they
may
be
able
to
make
the
length
of
life
longer.
__35__
Many
consider
the
later
part
of
life
to
be
the
best
time
for
living.Physical
activity
may
become
less，but
often
we
get
better
understanding
of
the
world
and
ourselves.
What
we
consider
the
old
age
now
may
only
be
middle?aged
some
day
soon.With
so
many
advances
in
medical
science
happening
so
quickly，life
length
may
one
day
be
measured
in
centuries，rather
than
in
years!
A．Our
living
condition
is
yet
another.
B．Many
factors
decide
our
health.
C．Our
strength
may
become
weaker.
D．As
for
diet，people
are
advised
to
eat
less
salt
and
sugar.
E．There
is
nothing
to
be
afraid
of
as
the
old
age
comes.
F．Symptoms
include
a
lack
of
energy，slow
reactions，insomnia
and
poor
memory.
G．Also，no
theory
sufficiently
explains
all
the
changes
of
the
aging
process.
没有人知道人在变老时的变化。饮食、锻炼等是决定健康的因素。许多人认为，人的后半生是人生的黄金时间，所以不要为衰老而恐惧。
31．G 解析：根据空前一句“No
one
really
knows
how
and
why
people
change
as
they
get
older”可知，选G项。G项中的“the
changes
of
the
aging
process”与空前一句中的“change
as
they
get
older”对应。
32．C 解析：根据空处上一句中的“our
body
systems
will
begin
to
weaken”可知，在我们生命的某一时刻，我们的身体将开始变得衰弱；结合C项中的关键词“become
weaker”可以判断，选C项。
33．B 解析：根据空后的“A
good
diet
plays
an
important
role.The
amount
and
the
type
of
exercise
we
get
are
another
two
factors”可知，本段主要介绍了决定健康的几个因素，故选B项。
34．A 解析：根据空前的“another
two
factors”可知，选A项，说明另一个决定健康的因素。
35．E 解析：根据空后的一句“Many
consider
the
later
part
of
life
to
be
the
best
time
for
living”可知，许多人认为人的后半生是人生的最佳时间；据此可以判断，变老并没有什么可怕的，故E项正确。
第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节：(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

本文主要讲述了机器人的作用是帮助人类而不是代替人类。
56．keeps
解析：考查时态。本文的主体时态为一般现在时，且由but后主句中的时态可知，as引导的时间状语从句的时态也应为一般现在时，主语technology表示单数意义，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式keeps。
57．recently
解析：考查副词。此处表示“最近”的意思，且所填词位于谓语动词gathered前，故需用副词形式recently。
58．attending
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的主语为One
person，谓语动词为said，所以考虑attend为非谓语动词；因One
person与attend之间为主动关系，故用attend的动词?ing形式与其后的the
Robot
Universe
expo一起作后置定语。
59．important
解析：考查形容词。be动词are后需接形容词作表语，故此处需用importance的形容词形式important。
60．them
解析：考查代词。由always
assist
humans可知，此处指“不是代替他们”，此处需填代词，用来指代可数名词复数humans，故填them。
61．Safety
解析：考查名词。分析句子结构可知，is前缺少主语，safe是形容词不能作主语，故需用其名词形式safety；注意位于句首的词首字母需大写。
62．where
解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，逗号后为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词car
factories，且关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，故填where。
63．for
解析：考查介词。此处指制造机器人是为了非常危险的工作，指明制造机器人的目的，故用介词for。
64．to_save
解析：考查非谓语动词。aim
to
do
sth.为固定搭配，意为“旨在做某事”，此处指“为了拯救生命”。
65．better
解析：考查形容词比较级。此处指机器人可以帮助人来表现得更好，故此处需用well的比较级形式better。

第二节：概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
As
is
known,
if
we
are
united
no
one
can
defeat
us.But
if
we
constantly
have
conflicts
or
misunderstandings,
we
may
attract
outsiders
to
take
advantage
of
ourselves,
which
may
ultimately
result
in
our
failure.Unity
is
the
source
of
strength
and
people
who
are
united
have
the
capability
to
tackle
any
kind
of
situation
as
they
share
each
other's
burdens
and
hardships.
In
olden
days,
a
man
lived
alone.He
travelled
and
hunted
all
by
himself,
which
sometimes
gave
opportunities
to
fierce
animal
to
attack
and
kill
him.Then
he
realized
that
if
he
joined
hands
with
other
hunters,
he
would
be
able
to
face
several
common
dangers
and
challenges.This
is
how,
villages
got
formed,
which
later
got
developed
into
the
towns
and
cities.
In
the
sports
ground,
be
it
cricket,
football,
baseball,
basketball
or
any
kind
of
sport,
a
united
team
and
an
appropriate
strategy
may
contribute
to
the
success
of
the
team；but
if
there
is
a
conflict
or
unhealthy
competition
or
unnecessary
misunderstanding
among
the
team
members,
they
may
invite
the
opponents
to
take
advantage
of
their
shortcomings
and
win
the
game.Likewise,
if
the
members
of
a
family
stay
together
and
support
each
other
in
every
phase
of
life,
no
outsiders
can
harm
the
family.
There
was
once
an
old
man
who
lived
in
a
village
with
his
three
sons.The
sons
always
fought
with
each
other
and
would
not
pay
any
attention
to
their
father.The
man
fell
sick
and
assumed
that
he
would
die
soon；he
was
very
worried
about
the
fact
that
once
he
died,
people
would
take
advantage
of
his
sons'
conflicts.He
called
all
his
sons
and
asked
them
to
break
a
bundle
of
sticks,
one
by
one.None
of
them
could
do
it.He
then
untied
the
bundle
and
gave
each
stick
to
each
one
of
them
asking
them
to
break,
which
they
could
very
conveniently
accomplish.He
then
told
his
sons
that
they
should
stay
like
the
bundle
of
sticks
so
that
no
one
can
break
them；but
if
they
keep
on
fighting,
they
will
be
broken
by
the
outsiders
easily.
