【正文】 （英語）英語閱讀理解(科普環(huán)保)題20套(帶答案)及解析一、高中英語閱讀理解科普環(huán)保類1．犇犇閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Robots are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household helps and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them bees ever more urgent. A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at LudwigMaximiliansUniversitaet (LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards them based on moral principles. According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question: Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives? The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假設(shè)的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine. The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (無名的) humans. This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot, says Paulus. One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could e into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us.（1）What has bee a concern about robots? A.How to humanize them.B.How to treat them in life.C.How to use them effectively.D.How to find more applications.（2）In the study the participants probably have to decide ________. A.when to sacrifice a robotB.where to experience risksC.which robot to work withD.what robots should be like（3）What can be inferred from Paulus39。 words? A.Humanized robots offer less help to people.B.Humanizing robots too much may be improper.C.Certain moral status should be attached to robots.D.Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Robots, A Must for FutureB.Humanized Robots, A New TrendC.Robot Saved, People Take the HitD.Humanized Robots, Replace Human【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，隨著越來越多的機(jī)器人具有人性化，它們承擔(dān)越來越多樣化的專業(yè)和日常任務(wù)，人們?nèi)绾慰创麄儯绾螌Υ麄兊膯栴}變的迫在眉睫。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them bees ever more urgent.”可知，隨著越來越多的機(jī)器裝備了最新的人工智能，承擔(dān)著越來越多的專業(yè)和日常任務(wù)，人們?nèi)绾慰创鼈円约叭绾螌Υ鼈兊膯栴}變得越來越緊迫。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question:‘ Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives?’可知，在這項(xiàng)研究中，參與者可能必須決定何時(shí)犧牲機(jī)器人。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的‘This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot,’ says Paulus. One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could e into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us.可知，Paulus認(rèn)為讓機(jī)器人人性化的嘗試不應(yīng)該走得太遠(yuǎn)，可以推斷出，Paulus認(rèn)為過多地人性化機(jī)器人可能是不合適的。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第四段中的“The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it.”及全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要敘述了隨著越來越多的機(jī)器人具有人性化，參與者就可能越不會犧牲機(jī)器人。因此標(biāo)題“機(jī)器人被拯救，人類就會承受打擊”最切題，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科教類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。2．犇犇閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn39。t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tabletshaped but foldable phone is about to bee available. In February, South Korean electronics pany Samsung and China39。s Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the foldable future, The Verge noted. The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they39。re the bination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device. The technology could change other devices, too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space. In a keynote address, Samsung39。s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow. It39。s a blank canvas (畫布) for us to do something beautiful together. he said. So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED (二極管) screens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That39。s a price that few people will be able to afford. But if the foldable device isn39。t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is ing. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The Verge, Few are debating if foldable or rollable mobile displays are the future of smartphones。 the only question is when and by whom.（1）What can be the best title for the text? A.Screen devices on the market.16
