39、.可知,在现实中,人们经常忽略机器人的存在。而在科幻电影中,机器人是一种可怕的存在。D项(现在很容易忽略机器人)切合题意。故选D。根据第二段可知,现在机器人是很难被注意到的,故A项“现在,类人机器人不难识别”错误。B项“现在人们不去看科幻电影”文中未提及。根据第二段中的Now the future is coming into view, and it looks like a giant lie.可知,这里的谎言,指的是科幻电影中的机器人与现实中的机器人完全不一样,并不是类人机器人说谎。故C项“现在类人机器人可能说谎”不正确。2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的In New Jersey this

40、 week, dozens of workers were hospitalized after a robot at an Amazon fulfillment centre accidentally broke a can and enveloped workers in eye-and-lung-damaging gas.可知,亚马逊物流中心的一个机器人不小心打破了一个罐子,把工人们困在了对眼睛和肺有害的气体中,导致数十名工人住院治疗。故选C。 A项(他们先损坏了机器人)、B项(机器人故意地制造事故)及D项(在高速公路上搭载他们的机器人出了事故)文中均未提及。3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二

41、段中的Tools with the power to release the burden of physical labor-horses, steam machines, self-driving cars-also come with the power to injure.可知,人工智能可以减轻人们的体力劳动负担,但同时有可能产生危害。因此作者对AI的态度是“客观的”。同时最后一段针对沃尔玛使用机器人清洁工这件事,分别提到,沃尔玛与批评人士的观点,而作者对此没有发表看法,其态度也是objective客观的。故选B。supportive支持的;doubtful怀疑的;indifferen

42、t漠不关心的。4.主旨大意题。第一段提出:沃尔玛很快将在其数百家门店中使用360个机器人清洁工。结合剩余每段段首句可知,文章主要论述了“人工智能正在悄无声息地进入我们的生活,对我们的生活产生巨大影响”这个话题。故结合选项可知,A(人工智能正给我们的日常生活带来巨大的影响)切合该话题。故选A。B(沃尔玛很快将在其所有门店使用360个机器人清洁工)为文章开头引出话题的一个具体事例;C(我们应该对人工智能说不)和D(人工智能对我们的生活是危险的)表述过于绝对和片面。B、C、D这三项均不能概括本文的主旨。 二、答案：1-5. GEFCA解析：1.空前一句讲到应用程序几乎可以在你生活的每个领域帮助你摆脱

43、困境，无论是保持健康、与朋友沟通，还是学习语言，根据空后一句并结合下文三个小标题可知，空处讲的应该是使用语言应用程序的注意事项，故G项符合语境2.空前一句讲在母语里，你会把自己局限在一种媒介里吗，因此空处应该是对这一问题的回答，故E项可能不会，那么在你的新语言里你为什么要这么做呢符合语境。3.本段小标题是建立你的目标和规划你的习惯，空前一句讲到好的应用程序对你学习的好处，空后一句则提到这些应用程序促进习惯养成，因此空处讲的应该也是好的应用程序的特点，所以F项符合语境。4.本段小标题是将语言学习社交化，空后一句讲我的意思是现实生活中的社交，因此C项符合语境。5.空前一句提到这种融合多种资源的方式

44、非常有效，故A项我推荐它符合语境。三、答案：1-5. ABBAD 6-10. BAABD 11-15.

47、of going direct to nature可知, 此处表示科学精神(spirit)。故A选项正确。12.设空处与后面and theories by experiment中的theories呼应, 此处表示通过实验证明我们的观点和理论。故B选项正确。13.这里是说正是Galileo的这种精神促成了现代科学的所有发现。lead to促成; turn to转向; set up建立; put forward提出。14.此处与文章开头的a successful scientist对应。故B选项正确。reasonable理智的; successful成功的; expert熟练的; sensitiv

48、e敏感的。15.此处指那些科学家们的观察产生了更好的结果。故C选项正确。foresee预见; reject拒绝; produce产生; challenge挑战。四、 答案：1. the most frightening 2.an 3.unless 4. that/which 5. germs6. had gathered/gathered 7.removed 8.was polluted 9.to get 10. threat 五、答案：Dear Mrs. Green, How are you doing? Im glad to know that you are interested in

49、the Science and Technology Festival, which is scheduled for next week at our school. And Id like to give you a detailed account of it. As you know, recent years have witnessed great achievements in after-school activities related to science and technology at our school. Therefore, it will be a hard-

50、won opportunity for you to attend the Science and Technology Festival. During the festival, AI robot competitions will be performed, which will absolutely highlight the festival and give you a general knowledge of the efforts we students have made. I believe that the festival will inspire our innovative spirit. I am looking forward to your joining us then.Yours,Li Hua
