27、段的“The collected stories.and other literature”和“So they believe that story comprehension in robots can.”可知，寓言对孩子们在道德方面产生的影响让科学家们产生了研究灵感。3答案与解析：D推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“The example.buy some medication for a human who needs it as quickly as possible”可知，对于样本故事中的机器人来说，最重要的是在最短的时间内拿到药品。4答案与解析：D推理判断题。由最后一段的“Quixote

28、 offers a reward signal for waiting in line and politely buying the medication and a punishment signal for taking it without permission”可知，在机器人买药的时候，Quixote负责发出不同的暗示信号。.阅读七选五【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文叙述了在过去的三十年里，作者每周都在家里举办一次周日晚餐来招待认识的或者不认识的朋友。来自不同国家，不同种族的人们聚集在一起，在一起吃饭，在一起交谈，彼此成为了朋友。作者告诉我们，人与人之间要彼此包容，才能带来别人的

29、尊敬甚至是爱戴。1答案与解析：F由第二段“Last week it was a philosophy student from Lisbon, and next week a dear friend from London will cook.”可知，上周是一个来自里斯本哲学系的学生做饭，下周将有一位来自伦敦的好朋友来做饭。所以处在段首的小题1要总说“每个周日都有不同的朋友准备盛宴”，然后接着分说。故F选项“每个周日都有不同的朋友准备盛宴”符合句意。故F选项正确。2答案与解析：B由第五段“Many travelers go to see things like the Tower of Lon

30、don, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and so on. I travel to see friends，evenor especiallythose Ive never met.”许多旅行者出去看名胜景点，而我旅游是为了结识各种各样的人甚至陌生人。所以第五段主要在说明人是我生命中最重要的部分。故处在段首的小题2是本段的标题。故B选项“人是我生命中最重要的部分”符合句意。故B选项正确。3答案与解析：C由第六段“In the late 1980s, I edited a series of guidebooks to different c

31、ountries. _3_ Instead, each book contained about a thousand biographies of people who would be willing to welcome travelers in their cities. ”可知，上世纪80年代末，我编辑了一系列到不同国家的旅游指南。而每本书都包含了大约一千个欢迎游客来他们所在城市旅游的人的传记。所以小题3要起到能够承接这两句话的转折作用。故C选项“没有风景可看，没有商店可入，也没有博物馆可以去游玩”符合句意。故C选项正确。4答案与解析：G由第八段“Most of them speak

32、 English, at least as a second language. Recently a dinner featured a typical mix: a beautiful painter from Norway, a truck driver from Arizona, a newspaper editor from Sydney and students from all over. ”可知，他们大多数人说英语，至少作为第二语言。最近的一顿晚餐以一种典型的搭配为特色：一位来自挪威的美丽画家，一位来自亚利桑那州的卡车司机，一位来自悉尼的报纸编辑和来自各地的学生。所以小题4要总

33、说“遍布整个世界，总是能遇到各种各样的人。”然后再具体说有哪些人。故G选项“遍布整个世界，总是能遇到各种各样的人。”符合句意。故G选项正确。5答案与解析：D由第九段“ one must, at the very least, simply tolerate others.”可知，一个人至少必须容忍别人。所以小题5要接着说容忍带来的益处。故D选项“退一步海阔天空，包容会带来别人的尊敬甚至是爱戴。”符合句意。故D选项正确。.完形填空【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了在父亲的帮助和鼓励下，作者学会骑自行车的故事。1答案与解析：C由上文中的many other kids in my neighb
