It’s the story of Torobo, a robot from Japan.Torobo has been trying to enter the University of Tokyo in Japan. The university, also called Todai, is one of Asia’s top universities. Since 2013, Torobo has taken the national college entrance exam with other Japanese students. However, the robot has failed to get the required (必需的) score for Todai every year. This year was no exception.Torobo is part of a project called “Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo?” Japan’s National Institute of Informatics started the project in 2011. Torobo does not walk around. It is a robot brain that has arms to plete the test.Researchers of the project want to find out what intellectual abilities (智能) will be replaced by machines. Results show that Torobo has grown in ability year by year. This year it got a score higher than Japan’s national average(平均分), which is enough to enter other good universities, but not Todai. With its big database, Torobo is good at solving knowledgebased questions and mathematical calculations (數(shù)學運算). That’s why it got good scores in physics, history and math. But Torobo has a hard time thinking independently (獨立地). As a result, it got weak scores in language and writing.Luckily, after four years of suffering, researchers have decided to free Torobo from taking the test. They will grow Torobo’s ability in the fields it’s doing well in, so that it can be used in those industries(工業(yè)) in the future.So while Torobo will never graduate from Todai, it can still look forward to a bright future!16. According to the story, Torobo is _____ while Todai is _____.A. a university, a robot B. a robot, a universityC. a student, a puter D. a puter, a student17. We can tell from the story that Torobo _____ for four years.A. has taken the college entrance examB. has failed the college entrance examC. has been studying in the University of TokyoD. has taught the college courses18. Why did Torobo get low scores in two subjects?A. Because it cannot solve knowledgebased problems.B. Because it is not good at mathematical calculations.C. Because it cannot think independently.D. Because it only has arms to plete the test.19. Which of the following is TRUE about Torobo?A. Torobo can’t have a bright future because it will never graduate from Todai.B. Torobo will go on taking the college entrance exam.C. Torobo is useless to humans.D. Torobo’s ability in the fields it’s doing well in will be better in the future.【答案】16. B 17. A 18. C 19.

The students read some 800word stories about Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. The control group read a regular science textbook description about their great achievements. Another group read about the scientists39。故答案為C。社會交往與傳統(tǒng)的思維訓練方式對于提高記憶力和智力表現(xiàn)具有同樣效果。摩根露被評為英國最聰明的孩子，她的智商為171，比智商160的愛因斯坦還要聰明。3. 詞意猜測題。答案為A。 intellectual struggles, as they tried different experiments and failed.As it turned out. the students who had read about scientists39。所以，如果我們想培養(yǎng)下一代的偉大科學家，我們可以從改變我們談論過去偉大科學家的方式開始。C. the students39。10. 題意：在這項研究中，第三組可能會讀下面哪一個?考查細節(jié)推斷題。 intellectual struggles, as they tried different experiments and failed.，可知第三組讀的是科學家們的智力斗爭，因為他們嘗試了不同的實驗——但失敗了。 people were more educated than 39。 （智力的）activity”——他們寧愿把時間天天花費在讀書上或者花費在一些其他智力游戲上；判斷他們是“不善于言談的、內(nèi)向的”；故選C. 13. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“the doctor made the decision that cat people are cleverer than dog people that 39。但Torobo很難獨立思考。）可知Todai是一所大學。18. 題意：為什么Torobo在兩個科目中得分較低？考查細節(jié)理解。）可知“Torobo在其擅長領域的能力在未來會更好。20. 細節(jié)理解題。結合單詞所在的句子According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match ，他們認為他們永遠沒辦法…..他, 根據(jù)句意，這里match意思是“比得上”，故選B。故選A。故選D。soon ：不久，far ：遙遠，long：長，often：經(jīng)常。根據(jù)語境可知，這里指的是作者的母親要把她本周所掙的錢給與作者。但當作者把該花的錢都分配完畢后，手里已分文不剩。expected ：經(jīng)歷， realized ：意識到、實現(xiàn)， changed：改變， tried：嘗試。37. 句意：學生們被分成三組。
