A.New Hightech Contributes to EducationB.The World39。s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C.The World39。s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一款智能機(jī)器人走進(jìn)小學(xué)課堂，為孩子們講授能源可持續(xù)發(fā)展。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“They became the world39。s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher”可知，他們成為世界上第一批由智能機(jī)器人老師“教”的孩子。由此可知，特殊之處在于機(jī)器人老師教他們。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“This twoway interaction not only helps attract the students39。 attention, but also allows the program39。s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.”即“ 這種雙向互動不僅有助于吸引學(xué)生的注意力，還允許程序的開發(fā)人員監(jiān)視他們的參與度，并在需要時做出更改”，由此可得出，其優(yōu)勢在于需要時，可以做出變化。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, regardless of how popular it bees, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.”可知，Ravishankar認(rèn)為它不會在短期內(nèi)代替人類教育工作者。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world39。s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher”可知，從新學(xué)年開始，新西蘭奧克蘭的小學(xué)生將成為世界上第一批被機(jī)器人老師教的孩子。之后文章就此展開，由此可推斷出he World39。s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom最符合本文的標(biāo)題。故選B。 【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。4．犇犇閱讀理解 Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts, Marion Brando once said. But for scientists, working out what is going on in an actor39。s head has always been something of a puzzle. Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not. Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, It looks like when you are acting, you are suppressing (壓制) yourself。 almost like the character is possessing you. Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role — either Romeo or Juliet — in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were scanned in a series of experiments. Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love? Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different premises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet. The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character. The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前額皮質(zhì)) linked to the sense of self, pared with when the actors were responding as themselves. However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than pretending to be someone — it involves embodying (體現(xiàn)) the text and language.（1）How did Dr Brown39。s team conduct their research?

The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character.”結(jié)果顯示，大腦活動的不同取決于所測試的情境。研究小組發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)演員在扮演角色時，他們會使用一些第三人稱知識或?qū)巧耐茢?。由此可知Brown博士的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，演員在表演時大腦活動是不同的，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than ‘pretending’ to be someone — it involves embodying (體現(xiàn)) the text and language.”然而，利物浦大學(xué)教授Philip Davis對這項研究并不以為然。他說，表演不僅僅是 假裝 成某個人，它還包括文本和語言的體現(xiàn)。由此推斷出Philip Davis對這項研究持懷疑態(tài)度，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。第二段中的“Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not.”現(xiàn)在，研究人員表示，演員的大腦活動模式不同，取決于他們是否扮演角色，是全文的主題句，結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容，可知這篇文章主要介紹了一項對于演員大腦活動的研究，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題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，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。5．犇犇閱讀理解 Kaitlin Woolley and Ayelet Fishbach report in Psychological Science that a meal taken familystyle from a central plate can greatly improve the oute of later negotiations. Having conducted previous research in 2017 revealing that eating similar foods led to people feeling emotionally closer to one another, Dr Woolley and Dr Fishbach wondered whether the way in which food was served also had a psychological effect. They theorized that, on the one hand, sharing food with other people might indicate food scarcity（短缺）and increase a feeling of petition. However, they also reasoned that it could instead lead people to bee more aware of others39。 needs and drive cooperative behavior as a result. Curious to find out, they did a series of experiments. For the first test they recruited 100 pairs of participants from a local
