We39。re doomed! Doomed! Now that I39。ve gotten that out of my system, it39。s bee clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the robots are taking over. The latest example is the government39。s new guidelines for selfdriving cars. Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America. Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021, selfdriving cars will play a big part in urban settings. Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobilerelated accidents, and we believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually. Makes sense. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup. On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds? But there39。s a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but behind the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you name it. Robots aren39。t just taking over in the workplace. The question is, where can39。t a robot function better than a human? How about writing songs? A robot can go through every bination of notes in record time and e up with a pleasing melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammywinning song cowritten by Hank Human and R3071 in our future? Finally, it39。s only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates. Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and e up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors. Actually, it39。s too bad such technology isn39。t available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide. (1)What does the underlined word “agitated” mean? A.TiredB.CautiousC.CarefulD.Anxious(2)What doubt does the writer have about selfdriving cars? A.How passengers behave in it.B.How robot drivers get the license.C.How they avoid crashing into other car.D.How they respond to walkers on a busy street.(3)The last questions asked in the sixth paragraph reflects the writer’s ________. A.confidence in robots, winning Grammy AwardsB.eagerness to listen to songs written by robotsC.doubt about robots’ ability to write songsD.curiosity about the future Grammy songs(4)What might be the most suitable title for the text? A.Robots will control the world in every fieldB.Robots are ing but not soon enoughC.Robots are being used in our daily lifeD.Robots can drive cars and write music【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文談論機器人是否會控制世界的問題。以無人駕駛汽車為例,談論無人駕駛的優(yōu)缺點,以及在其他領(lǐng)域?qū)C器人的應用,最后得出結(jié)論,機器人等現(xiàn)代化科學技術(shù)全面代替人類只是時間問題。(1)猜測詞義。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句“Robot drivers are less likely to...at the scene of a pileup.”可知,作者想說的是無人駕駛汽車看到堵車也不會感到焦慮不安。所以agitated應意為“焦慮的”,相當于 anxious,故選D。(2)細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中on the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walker constantly dashing into the ,作者擔心的是這些無人駕駛的汽車如何對經(jīng)常沖進馬路的行人如何反應,故選 D。(3)推理判斷。題干詢問的是第六段提出的最后一個問題反映了作者的什么看法,根據(jù)本段提到的機器人能夠創(chuàng)作出優(yōu)美的旋律可推知,作者是想借此問題說明將來機器人肯定會寫出獲得格萊美獎的音樂作品,故選A。(4)主旨大意。通讀全文內(nèi)容尤其是最后一段中的“it’s too bad such technology isn’t available in 2016”可知,本文作者認為機器人時代來的不夠快,B項反映了作者的看法,概括了文章內(nèi)容。故選B?!军c評】議論文閱讀首先要弄清楚作者要證明什么觀點,然后用什么樣的論據(jù)
