全方位提能语篇
阅读理解A 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:现代技术 难度:★★★☆☆
I realized I would not see a real person named Sophie at Sophie’s Eatery because, like most new restaurants these days, Sophie’s is a robo-restaurant.
When I walked in, a cute little manager robot appeared, looking rather like a toaster with blinking (眨) blue eyes. It escorted me to a nice table in the back. The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining choices. I tapped my choices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back down.
I watched as full plates rode the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle (过道) of tables. In just a few minutes, my dish stopped at my table, and I took it from the belt. Later, I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt, and it was taken away into kitchen to be cleaned.
I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish. The food was delicious, but I was starting to feel extremely angry because dealing with robots always makes me feel inhuman. Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.
So when my dessert arrived, I took action. I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash. I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster’s blinking red eyes—at last, a real live person would arrive!
But instead, a crew of two robots quickly appeared. A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the piece of the broken plate into a robot garbage can. They finished and moved back into the kitchen.
My plan to get a little reality into Sophie’s Eatery failed. I hope the robo-restaurant trend ends soon. I want to deal with people again!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了作者在机器人餐厅的用餐体验,作者对机器人的服务并不满意,而是渴望有真人服务的餐馆。
1.What does the underlined word “escorted” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Registered. B. Guided.
C. Conducted. D. Rushed.
答案与解析 B 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish.”可知,机器人把顾客带到餐桌前。因此句子“It escorted me to a nice table in the back.”中的escort应与show同义,即escort意为“引导某人走到某处”。register “注册”; guide “引导”; conduct “指挥”; rush “奔跑”。故选B。
2.What is the purpose of the author crashing his plate?
A. To deal with a real human.
B. To catch attention from the robots.
C. To play jokes on the robots.
D. To complain about the bad service.
答案与解析 A 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.”可知,作者想和一个人说说话,哪怕只有几句。接下来当甜点到的时候,作者采取了行动,把盘子摔在地板上。即作者砸盘子的目的是想和一个真正的人说说话。故选A。
3.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling at Sophie’s Eatery?
A. Satisfied. B. Shocked.
C. Annoyed. D. Curious.
答案与解析 C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I was starting to feel extremely angry”可知,在这家餐厅吃饭作者感到非常生气。因此annoyed最能描述作者在机器人餐馆的就餐心情。satisfied “满意的”; shocked “震惊的”; annoyed “气恼的”; curious “好奇的”。故选C。
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. The trend of dining with robots.
B. The advantage of robo-restaurants.
C. The food variety of a robo-restaurant.
D. The dining experience at a robo-restaurant.
答案与解析 D 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“My plan to get a little reality into Sophie’s Eatery failed. I hope the robo-restaurant trend ends soon. I want to deal with people again!”可知,作者在该餐馆中见到真人的想法落空了,作者希望机器人在餐厅中服务的趋势能尽快结束。因此文章描述了作者在机器人餐馆的用餐体验,表达的是对有真人服务的餐馆的渴望。故选D。

阅读理解B 体裁:说明文 主题语境:科学研究结果 难度:★★★☆☆
Many Americans use smartphones for most or all of their day-to-day communication activities. But how fast are we at using an electronic device? A new study has some answers. A team of researchers carried out an experiment. It involved more than 37,000 volunteers from over 160 countries.
On average, the volunteers estimated (估计) they spent about six hours a day using their phones. The majority said they used two thumbs (拇指) to write messages. Both Android and iPhone users were tested, and most said they used the device’s standard keyboard. The volunteers were given 15 English sentences to type out on their phones as quickly and accurately (精确地) as possible. The research team found that on average, people wrote about 36 words per minute. Those tested made a typing mistake 2.3 percent of the time.
The researchers noted that 36 words per minute is about 25 percent slower than the average rate for people using a computer keyboard. But the fastest phone typists reached speeds of over 80 words per minute. Subjects who reported using two thumbs or two fingers reached speeds of 38 words per minute. Those who said they used only one finger typed 29 words per minute. Among age groups, the fastest typists on an electronic device were between 10 and 19 years old.
Researchers said it makes sense that younger people have higher typing speeds because they generally spend a lot more time on their devices. “Such a large quantity of experience contributes to the development of the typing skill,” they said. “And it explains why young people—who spend more time with social media, communicating with each other—are picking up higher speeds.”
The researchers call the difference between typing words on a smartphone and a physical keyboard “the typing gap”. They predict this gap will further narrow (变窄) in the future as people get less skilled with keyboards and as smart methods for typing on devices continue to improve.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。研究报告介绍了研究人员对智能手机上的打字速度所进行的研究。

A. Typing on a smartphone is likely to be faster in the future.
B. People will type fewer words on smartphones than on computers.
