【正文】 le for the passage? your time on exercises yourself a second language your brain to think in English English wherever you are【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了在語言環(huán)境中學(xué)習(xí)語言的重要性，并給出了具體的學(xué)習(xí)方法。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中“So it may bee part of your ‘inner speech.’ In other words, you start thinking in that language. ”可知，當(dāng)?shù)诙N語言成為你“內(nèi)在語言”的一部分時，你就會開始用這種語言思考。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don39。t know the words for. ”可知，此句是總述句，因此“The place inside where I put my car”“我停車的地方”是用來支撐總述句“托馬斯建議描述你的頭腦中一些你不知道的東西”的例子。故選C。 （3）考查主旨大意?？v觀全文全文可知，在一個大多數(shù)人都說你正在學(xué)習(xí)的語言的地方，你可以每天使用這種語言幾個小時，然而大多數(shù)人不具備這樣的條件，全文為這類人提供了具體的學(xué)習(xí)方法，目的要達(dá)到用這種語言進(jìn)行思考。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，是一篇教育類閱讀，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。8．閱讀理解 Robots have taken over many of America39。s factories. But can they pick a strawberry? It39。s really hard for robots to match what humans can do, says Bob Pizter, an expert on robots. Any 4yearold kid can pick a strawberry, but machines can39。t seem to figure it out. Pizter says the hardest thing for them is finding the fruit. Pizter39。s strawberrypicking robot is rolling into a strawberry field. This welldesigned device drives itself. It39。s as big as a bus, long enough to straddle (跨越) a dozen rows of strawberries at once. Powerful puters are sitting on top. Underneath, there are highdefinition cameras to find the berries, and robotic claws ready to pick them. Nobody39。s telling it what to do, explains Paul Bissett, the chief operating officer of Harvest CROO Robotics. It39。s remembering its path down the row. It39。s remembering where all these plants are. It knows all this, thanks to the superaccurate GPS. Its puter brain contains a map showing the locations of every strawberry plant in the field. The action of machinery is truly impressive, but the baskets are still practically empty. Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That39。s not yet up to human standards. A typical worker, he says, manages to pick anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the berries. Also, he admits, the machine is slower than human hands. On the other hand, it has some advantages. It can work right through the night. Two years later, he says, this machine will be in the fields working for real. There are weaknesses to work out, but it39。s getting there. We39。re close. he says. Strawberry panies are putting millions of dollars into this project. The reason, Gary Wishnatzki, the owner of Wish Farms says, is that it39。s getting more and more difficult to find enough people to pick his berries. The fact of the matter is, if we don39。t solve the problem of this labor shortage with automation, the industry is facing a big challenge ahead. The price of fruit is going to be much higher, Jose Santos, the leader of the farm, says. Jose is pretty convinced, though, that picking strawberries will always require people. The machines will break down, he points out. In fact, he39。s looking on the bright side. You could afford to give people a day off if you have machines behind you,” he says.（1）According to the passage, the strawberrypicking robot __________. work extra hours on GPS only to find berries on petrol just like a bus both ripe and unripe berries（2）What do people mentioned in the passage think of the strawberrypicking robot? will lead to the price of strawberries rising. keeps human workers working through night. is not very efficient at the moment but promising. will pletely take the place of human workers.（3）We know from the article that __________. have been widely used in farming seems hard for robots to exactly locate strawberries now can surely perform any work better than human workers the help of robots, strawberry panies have already earned much（4）What does the passage mainly talk about? working principle of strawberrypicking robots.39。 expectations for strawberrypicking robots. present state of strawberrypicking robots. differences between humans and strawberrypicking robots.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了摘草莓機(jī)器人的目前的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)：效率不高，但可以長時間工作，其缺點(diǎn)也可以改進(jìn)。未來需求大，前景廣闊。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“It can work right through the night.”可知，機(jī)器人可以整夜工作。故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That39。s not yet up to human standards. A typical worker, he says, manages to pick anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the berries. Also, he admits, the machine is slower than human hands.”可知，摘草莓的機(jī)器人比人手慢，沒有達(dá)到人類采摘草莓的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。由此可以推知，它效率不高；以及“On the other hand, it has some advantages. It can work right through the night. Two years later, he says, this machine will be in the fields working for real. ‘There are weaknesses to work out, but it39。s getting there. We39。re close.’ he says.”可知，這種機(jī)器人有弱點(diǎn)需要克服，但這些弱點(diǎn)很快就會被克服。這種機(jī)器人非常有前景。兩年之后，就會被投入使用。我們離此目標(biāo)不遠(yuǎn)了?？赏浦xC。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“‘It39。s remembering its path down the row. It39。s remembering where all these plants are.’ It knows all this, thanks to the superaccurate GPS. Its puter brain contains a map showing the locations of every strawberry plant in the field. The action of machinery is truly impressive, but the baskets are still practically empty. Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That39。s not yet up to human standards.”由于超級精確的GPS，機(jī)器人知道所有草莓的位置。機(jī)器的作用確實(shí)令人印象深刻，但籃子實(shí)際上仍然是空的。Pitzer說，機(jī)器人能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)和采摘超過50%的成熟漿果。這還沒有達(dá)到人類的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。由此推知，雖然機(jī)器人配備有精確的GPS，但實(shí)際上，它們并不能精確地定位草莓的位置，從而導(dǎo)致采摘率不高。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。第一段直接了當(dāng)?shù)奶岢觯簷C(jī)器人真的很難達(dá)到人類采摘草莓的水平。第二段和第三段主要介紹了草莓采摘機(jī)器人的特點(diǎn)和優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)（效率不高，但可以長時間工作）。最后兩段對草莓采摘機(jī)器人前景的展望（未來需求大，前景廣闊）。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，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor。 you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience。 you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasant voice which is fully under your control。 and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
