【正文】 本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測(cè)和觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科教類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 ve got your aging brain to blame. This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons (神經(jīng)元). New research suggests 39。 abilities of the young brain allow us to process more information during youth, causing the days to seem longer earlier in life. However, as we get old, researchers say the older brain takes more time to process information. Little babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they39。re happening more quickly.（1）What causes time to fly faster as we get old? A.Information in our brain.C.Rapid fire abilities.（2）What is unavoidable in the process of getting old? A.B.C.D.Young people are more energetic in their life.B.Old people have fewer things to do than young people.D.Nerves and NeuronsB.The Older, the FasterD. （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選A。根據(jù)第一段中的You39。故選B。根據(jù)第一段中的最后兩句可知，年輕時(shí)之所以覺(jué)得日子似乎更長(zhǎng)是因?yàn)榇竽X能夠以“快速射擊”的方式處理更多信息。所以說(shuō)，相較于老年人，年輕人的大腦花費(fèi)更少的時(shí)間來(lái)處理信息。 （4）考查主旨大意。C項(xiàng)正好與主旨句呼應(yīng)，故選C。3．犇犇閱讀理解 s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession. she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading. That39。 To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the Al news anchor reads, the micro electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text or the Al to lean and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyse the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to lean, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programss performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don39。Delighted.Unwilling.Confused.Optimistic.（2）What can we infer about previous news robots? A.They looked like a human beingC.They could interact with audience.（3）What do we know about the third technology? A.This technology is quite popular nowC.This technology is far from mature.（4）From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that____. A.Al anchors perform much better than human news anchors at presentC.t replace human news anchors in the near futureD. （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday及第二段中的That39。 （2）考查推理判斷。 she reads it almost like a human being.

But for scientists, working out what is going on in an actor39。 Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not. almost like the character is possessing you. Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love? The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character. However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than pretending to be someone — it involves embodying (體現(xiàn)) the text and language.（1）How did Dr Brown39。By scanning the brain activity of some actors.B.By interviewing some theatre teachers.D.s research? A.Actors39。Acting is far more than pretending to be the character.D. brain activity is more active when they are in character.（3）How did Philip Davis react to the research? A.B.C.D.A debate of how the brain functions.B.A research on the brain activity of actors.D.現(xiàn)在，研究人員表示，演員的大腦活動(dòng)模式不同，取決于他們是否扮演角色。根據(jù)第五段中的“Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party?”一旦進(jìn)入核磁共振掃描儀，演員們被要求回答一系列問(wèn)題，比如:他們會(huì)去參加派對(duì)嗎?由此推斷出Brown博士的團(tuán)隊(duì)是通過(guò)掃描一些演員的大腦活動(dòng)進(jìn)行他們的研究的，故選A。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character.”結(jié)果顯示，大腦活動(dòng)的不同取決于所測(cè)試的情境。由此可知Brown博士的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，演員在表演時(shí)大腦活動(dòng)是不同的，故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than ‘pretending’他說(shuō)，表演不僅僅是 假裝 成某個(gè)人，它還包括文本和語(yǔ)言的體現(xiàn)。 （4）考查主旨大意。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推
