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 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(jī)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(diǎn)是不擅長獨(dú)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(gè)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(jī)器人在各個(gè)學(xué)科方面的不同表現(xiàn)。故選B.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本文是一篇關(guān)于介紹機(jī)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(xiàng)。主旨題看前面一，二段一般可以透漏出端倪。9．閱讀理解 The United States is home to 562 recognized American Indian Nations each with its own language. Yet the number of native. Americans with the ability to speak their tribe39。s language has decreased over the past century. Now, Indian Nations are trying different ways to expand the number of native speakers, and increase interest in their munities to learn tribal languages. Since the late 1800s many American Indian children have attended boarding schools. At that time, Indian children were required to attend schools by law, and the government forced Indian families to send their children to such schools. The children were separated from their families. and given English name The teachers often taught native American students in English, instead of the language of their parents. They were told they needed to learn English in order to get a job, earn money and buy a house or nice things. However, fearing a loss of history and culture, the Indian Nations are experimenting with new ways to increase the language ability of tribal members. At least one organization is turning to modern technologyThe Sealaska Heritage Institute, a nonprofit group, has developed two apps for speakers of the Tlingit language. The Learning Tlingit app serves as a reference for important language topics such as conversation phrases, number, and letters. The Tlingit tribe has about 10, 000 members. They live mainly in southeastern Alaska. But as of 2013, the tribe had only 125 native speakers left. in addition, very few young people are able to speak Tlingit. Currently there are two apps, called Learning Tlingit and Tlingit Language Games. The Learning Tlingit app serves as a language guide. It provides Tlingit words and expressions, the tribal alphabet, as well as a basic list of the words included. With the Tlingit Language Games app, users are given a choice of different places of environments, like a house, forest or ocean.（1）What is the problem the native Americans are facing now? number of native Americans has been increasing. and fewer native Americans speak their own language. native language has been extinct.39。s hard to increase the interest of hearing native languages.（2）What will be the result if more and more native Americans only speak English? will get better jobs and higher pay. will teach their own children to speak English. will lose their history and culture. will get along well with the government.（3）What can we know about Tlingit? can help the native people know some language topics. can help the: native people earn money and buy a. house or nice things is a very popular app among the native speakers is a nati
