When most people hear the word “puppetry”, they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be lighthearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets e serious messages sometimes.” he says.(1)What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph? A.accidentally39。 The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts, “Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things.

A.the University of TokyoTorobothe scoreIt 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.選D。( 4 )推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段When given the same tasks, participants, who took a nap, were able to give more varied solutions, some of which were much better than they gave ,小睡一會(huì)之后會(huì)讓人有更好的表現(xiàn)。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段scientists made a conclusion that the REM was important for assimilating(消化) new information into past experience” in order to find solutions to creative ,科學(xué)家之所以研究這個(gè)時(shí)期是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)時(shí)期對(duì)于找到創(chuàng)造性問題的解題辦法是重要的,這個(gè)時(shí)期會(huì)將新信息消化為經(jīng)驗(yàn),故答案為C。根據(jù)前一句They say when a person enters a phase called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) during sleep可知,it指代REM,選B。to let some participants sleep for a while【答案】 (1)B(2)C(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】文章講述了科學(xué)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),睡眠能大大提高我們的創(chuàng)造力。to give participants time to thinkB.to think of a creative wordEach adult was allowed to sleep after the task was given.D.Taking a short nap is good for your thinking during the day.B.Because REM can help find creative solutionsD.Because REM takes place just after you sleep.B.D.Sleep.B.The effect. Prof. Mednick is a psychiatrist at the University of California. Her study involved the analysis of 77 adults. Each participant was given several wordassociated creative tasks. All tasks were given in the morning, with participants being shown a number of groups of 3 words, for example: cookie, heart and sixteen. They were asked to e up with a word that would be associated with all three given terms—like sweet. Sometime later, after some participants were allowed to sleep, they were asked to perform the same tasks and some new ones. It is worth mentioning that while some people slept, researchers used brain scans to see the type of sleep each participant entered. Researchers consider that sleeping on a problem in most cases leads to elucidation(解釋). They say when a person enters a phase called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) during sleep, it increases the effect. Such phase takes place right before we awake and according to scientists it helps our brain make links between unre
