【正文】 the second selfhelp book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn39。t just sit outside an employer39。s building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different? But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write an to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband. “I am writing you today because I39。ve decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever,” the woman writes in her . “Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your todo list.

Step 2: I marry that man. Step 3: I give you $10,000 on my wedding day. I know you39。re thinking that this is nuts.

Just plain crazy. 39。You can find a husband without giving $10,000.39。 Well for starters, thank you! I39。m happy.”這位女士給幫助她找到丈夫的人$10,000。這就是了。沒有給$10,。由此推知劃線詞的意思是“愚蠢的，傻的”。故選D。(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn39。t just sit outside an employer39。s building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different?”可知提到一份好工作的目的是強調(diào)態(tài)度積極的重要性，故選B。(4)考查推理判斷。通讀全文，我們可以知道這位女士為了找到一位丈夫，而付出一萬美元，誰能幫她找到丈夫，誰就能得到這筆錢。這說明她是一個敢于冒險的人。故選B?！军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息。并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Since 2013, Torobo, a robotic arm designed to test the limits of artificial intelligence, has had one ambition—to be admitted to the University of Tokyo. However, it has repeatedly failed. This year was no exception. In early November Torobo took an exam to prepare for an allimportant standardized test. While Torobo39。s total score of 525 out of 950 was 14 points higher than in 2015，its standard score of % was slightly lower, because human students did better in the 2016 test. Though the score，which is higher than the national average, is enough to get the robot admitted to many other famous Japanese universities,it falls short of the minimum required for the University 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 th
