【正文】 根據倒數(shù)第四段中的”However, genetically engineered plants can cause unexpected problems.“可知作者認為雜交。根據第一段中的”Plant breeders try to create a specific oute of plants and potentially new plant varieties by changing the genes of the plants through breeding, which is making new plants from parents of different varieties or species.“植物育種家試圖通過育種改變植物的基因來創(chuàng)造植物和潛在的新植物品種的特定結果，即從不同品種或物種的親本培育新植物，可知植物育種的目的是生產新的植物品種，故選C?？茖W，關于它能帶來的好處和它能造成的破壞，我們有很多東西要學習。D.B.supportive（4）Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

However, genetically engineered plants can cause unexpected problems. Genetically engineered plants that resist pests may pass on that characteristic to a wild relative. This may cause the wild plant to spread fast, because pests are not naturally killing it. Some genetically engineered plants are more nutritious. They have less fat, taste better or stay fresher than nongenetically engineered plants. This will allow people to buy betterquality fruit and vegetables. Crossbreeding can take such a long time, however, and it is inaccurate. Now, we can change exact sections of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), so the process is more accurate and faster. But people all over the world are arguing about its benefits and disadvantages. Some people use the technology to produce desired characteristics of plants and animals. Other people are concerned that the genetically engineered plants may harm the environment and worried that they may be dangerous for people to eat. Plant breeding is the science of changing the characteristics of plants in order to produce desired ones. Genes in a plant are what determine what type of characteristics it will have. Plant breeders try to create a specific oute of plants and potentially new plant varieties by changing the genes of the plants through breeding, which is making new plants from parents of different varieties or species. 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。根據最后一段中的“If technology succeeds in creating emotionally intelligent digital humans, experts say, it may forever change the way living people cooperate with puters and experience loss.”可知，專家們說，如果科技成功地創(chuàng)造出高情商的數(shù)字人類，它可能會永遠改變人類與電腦交互的方式，以及處理失去親人創(chuàng)傷的方式，即目前的數(shù)字人類還無法擁有高情商，還是不夠完美的，因此數(shù)字人技術還有很長的路要走。故選C。s worth of advice long after his physical body is gone. ”如果一切按計劃進行，后代可以通過移動端的語音平臺和他交流，即使他的肉體不存在后，還可以問他問題，讓他講故事以及咨詢他一生經驗的寶貴建議。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。Kaplan同意變成數(shù)字人，可知，卡普蘭同意變成數(shù)字人是為了能更長時間的分享自己的這些故事。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。Kaplan同意變成數(shù)字人 ，可知，第一段的內容主要是引出下文中文章的話題數(shù)字人。主要介紹安德魯根據第一段可知，當安德魯s life.（2）Why did Andrew Kaplan agree to bee AndyBot? wanted to share his life experience as long as possible. wanted to make his loved one remember him. believed this action will help with his novels. could live in the cloud to continue his life.（3）What might the AndyBot do for future generations? may use voice puting platforms. may use a new body to go on living. may offer some guidance. may ask them questions.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph? problems can be worked out by modern science. can talk with their late family members freely. have made great progress in puter science. is still a long way for digital humans to go.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科技新動態(tài)數(shù)字人。s first: meaningful examples, raising plex philosophical questions about the nature of immortality and the purpose of existence itself.（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph? highlight Kaplan39。 s first virtual residents, partly because he considers the effort a way to extend closed family bonds over multiple generations. s legacy(遺產) online forever. s first digital humans. s worth of advice long after his physical body is gone. Now the silver haired 78year old has realized he would like his loved ones to have access to those stories, even when he is no longer alive to share them. Kaplan has agreed to bee AndyBot a virtual person who will be: immortalized(T F5)in the cloud for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years 6．閱讀理解 故選A。該劃線句子的字面意思是：機器人保姆可能會覺得自己已經獲得了未來的工作，但事實上，他們的位置可能會更好。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。 （2）考查詞義猜測。也就是說，Starship Technologies公司創(chuàng)造的是一款配送物品的機器人。根據第一段中的The robot, created by a startup called Starship Technologies in 2014, is basically a cooler on wheels。本文以對相關信息進行了介紹說明。We still need someone to look after robots in the future.D.Robot carers will have a petitive advantage in the future.B.A lot of job opportunities will be created.D.Autonomous vehicles will bee much cheaper.B.D.are in relation ofB.are in the category ofD.A restaurant robot.B.A factory robot. Mckinsey estimates that millions of jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. A huge number of jobs will be produced as autonomous vehicles are released into the environment, Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a munity college in Michigan, in autonomousvehicle repair。s digital eyes will roll depending on its mood. Rodriguez, who heads business development for the startup, was tasked, early on, with monitoring the KiwiBot for problems – even carrying it, should the motors fail. Since April 2018, though, the KiwiBot has largely been left unattended, and the majority of human interactions involve technical checks and loading food into the robot. To eliminate the boring work, the team is developing a restaurant robot to collect and load orders – which could happen
