【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 iversity of Tokyo. A closer analysis of the results showed that Torobo39。s newly programmed ability to solve plex physics problems helped increase itsyearoveryear physics score from 46. 5% to 59%. The robot also dug deep into its database of information from textbooks and websites to obtainan impressive % in world history. The average 60% scores acquired in the two math sections, were not too shabby either. But，while Torobo is able to handle knowledgebased questions and ones involving plex mathematical calculations, it has a hard time thinking independently. As a result, the robot is unable to fully understand multiple sentences and phrases to arrive at the logical conclusions required in the English language tests. This weakness was reflected in the weak oral and writing scores, which came in at % and %, respectively. Fortunately, after four tiring years, the robot39。s creators have decided to free Torobo from its annual testtaking suffering, the research team will instead focus on improving the robot39。s ability to pick out specific answers from massive sets of data—a skill that led to its excellent history scores. They believe the expertise(專業(yè)技術(shù)）will help Torobo succeed as an industrial robot. （1）What is the disadvantage of Torobo? A.It has much difficulty searching for facts.B.It doesn39。t own language skills.C.It has weak independent thinking ability.D.It couldn39。t get through the exams.（2）What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to? A.the scoreB.ToroboC.the University of TokyoD.the national average（3）What did the exam results show? A.Torobo39。s score didn39。t reach the national average.B.Torobo39。s programmed ability improved its math score.C.Torobo was admitted to a university.D.Torobo did well in the history exam.（4）What is the text mainly about? A.Subjects a robot are good at.B.A robot39。s performances in exams.C.Majors that are suitable for a robot.D.A robot39。s ways to deal with exams.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了一款用來測試人工智能極限的機器人在考試中的表現(xiàn)和它的弊端。（1）C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的前兩句內(nèi)容可知，Torobo的缺點是不擅長獨立思考，不能理解復(fù)雜的句子。故選C.（2）A 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上半句“Though the score，…, is enough to get the robot admitted to many other famous Japanese universities,”可知，前半句從句的主語the score就是主句的主語it所代指的。故選A.（3）D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段各個學(xué)科得分的比較以及最后一段可知，Torobo的歷史成績非常好。故選D.（4）B 主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了參加考試的機器人在各個學(xué)科方面的不同表現(xiàn)。故選B.【點評】本文是一篇關(guān)于介紹機器人的說明性閱讀理解。主要以細(xì)節(jié)理解題為主，抓住關(guān)鍵詞，理解文章主旨。其中第二題比較有難度，需要排除其它選項。主旨題看前面一，二段一般可以透漏出端倪。5．閱讀理解 When a dog looks at you with big puppydog eyes, it39。s hard for you to go away, and you may speak out “A” without hesitation. However, there39。s a reason why you find a dogs stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection in humans. The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their fourlegged friends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from Azabu University in Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs. The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin (催產(chǎn)素). One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin didn39。t happen, though, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them. A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer. Scientists aren39。t sure exactly why, but this reaction occurred only with female dogs. Their owners oxytocin levels also rose as a result. The result of these experiments might help answer an ageold question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into man39。s best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the change happened when dogs first became domestic (馴養(yǎng)的). According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. “Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special munication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact, it would be easier for them to bond with dog owners,” Kikusui said.（1）According to Paragraph 1, people say “A” to .
