31、nosed anxiety, an inability to read social cues(提示)and an unexpected change to his daily routine, and you have the way to deal with a very public breakdown(精神崩溃)”可知，萨姆应对日常生活有困难，故选C。2D考查词义猜测。根据前三段的内容可知，萨姆患有自闭症，并结合第四段可知，商店的主人，一个越南的老太太出来看了看萨姆，然后把他带到商店里，使他镇静下来，并和作者取得了联系，由此可推知，画线部分意为“查看”，与D项意思相近，故选D。3B考查

32、推理判断。根据第五段的内容可知，萨姆在受到商店老太太的帮助之后经常会去商店里与她交流，由此可推知，他和老太太成了好朋友，故选B。4A考查主旨大意。根据最后一段第一句“So I guess this is a love letter to those of you who have helped a stranger out of the goodness of your heart”并结合对本段的整体理解可推知，作者写本文的目的是感谢那些曾经帮助过陌生人的好心人，故选A。B体裁：说明文主题语境：人与社会科技与教育数字化技术应用于教学【语篇解读】新西兰奥克兰的一些小学生成为世界上第一批由数字化老

33、师“教”的孩子。数字化老师Will能和学生积极互动，吸引学生的注意力。5A考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“They became the worlds first kids to be taught by a digital teacher”可知，他们成为世界上第一批由数字化老师“教”的孩子。由此可知，对奥克兰的一些小学生来说其特别之处在于有一位数字化老师“教”他们。故选A。6D考查细节理解。根据第三段尾句“This twoway interaction not only helps attract the students attention . and make changes if ne

34、eded”可知，这种双向的互动不仅有助于吸引学生的注意力，还允许该程序的开发人员监视他们的参与度，并在需要时做出改变。由此可知，这种双向互动的好处就在于其可以在必要的情况下适时进行改变。故选D。7D考查推理判断。根据最后一段尾句“However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon”可知，作者认为无论它变得多么受欢迎，Will都不太可能在短期内取代人类教育工作者。由此可推知，D项符合题意。8B考查主旨大意。本文为新闻报道类文章，第一段交代了

37、失败但一直坚持的人会积极应对挑战，故选项“他们学着尝试不同的策略并坚持不懈”符合语境。.语法填空体裁：说明文题材：社会生活主题：快闪博物馆【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。近几年，快闪博物馆不断出现，越来越多的人喜欢去快闪博物馆一探究竟。1into考查介词。然而，在接下来的两年里，随着更多快闪博物馆的出现，它们似乎成了个趋势。come into existence“出现，存在”。2latest考查形容词。最新加入快闪博物馆名单的成员是比萨博物馆，它准备今年10月在纽约开馆。根据语境可判断此处应填latest“最新的”。【知识拓展】latest n最新事物，最新消息；adj.最新的，最近的。如：Th

38、is is the latest in robot technology.这是最新的机器人技术。Have you heard the latest news？你得到最新消息了吗？3to open考查非谓语动词。此处set to do sth.“准备做某事”是固定用法，因此可知，此处要用不定式。4merely考查副词。似乎博物馆不再仅仅是“观赏”艺术的场所。此处修饰动词see，故用副词merely。5exhibits考查名词的数。exhibit是可数名词，在此表示“(一件)展览品，陈列品”，空前没有限定词，故此处应用名词复数exhibits。6will lie考查动词时态。而在即将开馆的比萨博物

39、馆中，人们能够躺在“比萨海滩”上，体验“芝士浪潮”。与upcoming相呼应，说明动作即将发生，故用一般将来时。7themselves考查代词。与主语they呼应，此处表示他们给自己拍照，所以用反身代词themselves。8given考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句已经有谓语动词allows，故本空应是非谓语动词，所修饰词experience是give的承受者，故用过去分词given表被动。9that考查强调句型。或许正是贴近艺术的这一体验让快闪博物馆不仅不断“闪现”，而且将继续开放下去至少现在是这样。分析句子结构可知，这是一个强调句型，被强调部分this experience . art作句子主语，指物，故应填that。【知识拓展】强调句型的结构为：It is/was被强调部分that/who剩余部分。被强调部分通常是句子的主语、宾语或状语，这种句型不能强调谓语或定语。若将“It is/was”“that/who”去掉，稍加调整语序，句子意思依然清楚、结构依然完整。10the考查冠词。for the time being“眼下，暂时”是固定搭配，故填定冠词the。
