【正文】 It couldn39。t own language skills.C.B. help Torobo succeed as an industrial robot. （1）What is the disadvantage of Torobo? A.s creators have decided to free Torobo from its annual testtaking suffering, the research team will instead focus on improving the robot39。 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. A closer analysis of the results showed that 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. 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.并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。故選B。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(wàn)美元，誰(shuí)能幫她找到丈夫，誰(shuí)就能得到這筆錢(qián)。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(qiáng)調(diào)態(tài)度積極的重要性，故選B。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.

Cambridge University39。 The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UK39。s theory to places where fossil deposits (沉積物) of the earliest tetrapods were found. Romer called these earliest fourfooted animals “tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it. Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物學(xué)家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again. Since English biologist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still of the speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，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，從而選出正確答案。s owner, she burst into tears and immediately dropped the charge against Prather for stealing the ring.”當(dāng)Gilleece打電話給錢(qián)包的主人時(shí)，她哭了起來(lái)，并立即撤銷了對(duì)Prather偷戒指的指控)可知接下來(lái)Prather不會(huì)被那個(gè)女人指控。 （4）考查推理判斷。然而，因?yàn)閬G失戒指，Prather可能會(huì)被關(guān)進(jìn)監(jiān)獄，可知Gilleece幫助Prather是因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為Prather是個(gè)可原諒的孩子。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Seeing the teenager39。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。t care about her ID, credit cards, or 150 in cashbut her wedding ring was inside. ”她不在乎她的身份證、信用卡或150美元現(xiàn)金——但她的結(jié)婚戒指在里面，可知那位婦女最珍視錢(qián)包里的結(jié)婚戒指。 （1）考查推理判斷。Jimmy Gilleece找到了撿到錢(qián)包的年輕人Rivers Prather，但是Rivers Prather拿了錢(qián)包里的錢(qián)將錢(qián)包丟進(jìn)了海里。s demand. save the forgivable child. win back the reputation of his bar.（4）What would happen to Prather next? would be sent to prison. would not be accused by the woman. would get a job in Gilleece39。Gilleece decided to help the kid.
