But the umbrella was not invented as a protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it. But the umbrella was used in very ancient times. When it first appeared in Egypt, it was used only by the rich as a symbol of their power. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella. During the middle ages, however, the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century and later in France and in England. Gradually, most European countries began to use the umbrella. During all this time, umbrellas have not changed much in style, but they do become much lighter. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Chengdu Natural History Museum has been open to the public for some time!

After all, she’s already got her master’s degree. The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters. At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings. She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to take up aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests. In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life. 24. What can we know about Thessalonika from the text? A. She majored in science and technology. B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11. C. She started homeschooling when she was 6 years old. D. She got her bachelor’s degree through online courses. 25. What is Thessalonika’s next plan according to the text? A. Majoring in aviation psychology. B. Being active in her youth group. C. Making inspiring speeches for leadership meetings. D. Writing another book to help people to be geniuses. 26. Why does Thessalonika write the book Jump the Education Barrier? A. To raise concern about psychology. B. To help people to be successful. C. To give students a hand to complete college. D. To share her own experience with others. 27. What’s the text mainly about? A. Homeschooling. B. The way to be a genius. C. Three published books. D. The story of Thessalonika. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女孩Thessalonika Arzu-Embry不平凡的学习历程，以及她取得的各种学习成就。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings. (11岁时，她从高中毕业，并于2013年获得心理学学士学位。她在参加领导会议的途中在网上完成了这些课程)”可知，Thessalonika通过学习在线课程获得了学士学位。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The girl plans to take up aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. (这个女孩计划继续学习航空心理学，这个决定是受她父亲的启发，她父亲是一名飞行员)”可知，Thessalonika的下一个计划是主修航空心理学。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college (《跨越教育障碍》一书旨在帮助学生完成大学学业)”可知，这本书的目的是帮助学生完成大学学业。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，尤其是第一段中“Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. (对于Thessalonika Arzu-Embry来说，年龄从来都不是问题)”可知，文章围绕女孩Thessalonika展开，讲述了她不平凡的学习历程，以及她取得的各种学习成就，即她的人生故事。故选D项。 C There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose? While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true? Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper. Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly. There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?” 28. Why does the author ask the question at the end of paragraph 1? A. To express the author’s doubts. B. To tell readers how to save money. C. To show the kindness of the cashier. D. To introduce the point for discussion to arouse readers’ interest. 29. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags _________. A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycle C. have less influence on forests D. take more time to break down 30. What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Shared. B. Discussed. C. Given up. D. Put forward. 31. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask? A. Paper or cloth? B. A new bag or your own one? C. Paper or plastic? D. A small bag or big one? 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了购物时纸袋的使用，提出问题：纸袋真的如人们想象的一样，是环境友好型的吗？最后呼吁大家循环使用购物袋，保护环境。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better.”（虽然这两种袋子对环境都有一定的影响，但长期以来人们一直认为纸袋更好。）可推知，作者为什么在第1段末尾问这个问题是为了介绍讨论要点，引起读者的兴趣。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger.”（而制造它们所用的水量是它们的20倍。）可知，与塑料袋相比，纸袋需要更多的水来生产。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.”（研究表明，回收塑料所需的能源比回收纸张所需的能源少98%。）可知，回收塑料比回收纸袋要更节约能量，故“the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones”（纸袋比塑料袋更环保的想法）是错误的，应该放弃。结合选项C项Given up“放弃”意思一致。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do?”（毫无疑问，重复使用这些袋子更有意义。然而，我们目前似乎没有这样做。这可能是因为它们很快就会解体。如果是这样的话，布袋是一个更好的选择，但是，它们的生产也对环境有不好的影响。那么该怎么办呢？）可推知，作者可能希望收银员问的问题是“用你家自己的购物袋还是新买购物袋？”故选B项。 D Fairy tales (童话) perform many functions. They entertain people, encourage imagination, help build up the quality of integrity and teach problem-solving skills. They can also provide moral (道德) lessons, highlighting the danger of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology believe they have found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that artificial intelligence (AI) can take to its cold, mechanical heart. The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables, novels and other literature. They believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity, which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology, including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called Quixote. It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave. Though sounding absurd, it really works. The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line, it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine early, or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives (指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion. After being tested out, Quixote is shown to work best on a robot that has a very limited function. It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons to robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive (努力) to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means. 32. What function do fairy tales perform in the robots? A. Entertaining robots. B. Highlighting danger. C. Making robots more intelligent. D. Enabling robots to behave morally. 33. What is Quixote in the text? A. A big name in technology. B. A system of educating robots. C. A punishment system. D. A character in literature. 34. What do the designers expect the robot to do in the experiment? A. Perform with good manners. B. Finish the task most efficiently. C. Take advantage of its privilege. D. Be rewarded by the storekeeper. 35. Which of the following can best express the author’s opinion? A. Robots will definitely have more functions. B. Robots with human emotions are perfect. C. Training robots to be socially acceptable is necessary. D. The development of robots is still in a baby step. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员如何利用童话故事教机器人遵守道德规范。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“but a team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology believe they have found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that artificial intelligence (AI) can take to its cold, mechanical heart.(但佐治亚理工学院的一组研究人员认为，他们已经找到了一种方法，可以利用童话故事作为道德教训，让人工智能（AI）将其带入其冷酷无情的机械核心)”可知，童话故事可以让机器人遵守道德规范。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This system is called Quixote. It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.(这个系统叫做Quixote。它从互联网上收集故事情节，然后用这些故事来教机器人如何行为)”可知，Quixote是一个教育机器人的系统。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.(但是Quixote为排队等候并礼貌购买药品的行为提供奖励，而为偷窃行为设定惩罚。这样一来，机器人就能学会在那个场合下应有的道德行为)”可知，设计者希望在实验中机器人的行为有礼貌。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive (努力) to avoid unacceptable behavior.(我们认为，人工智能必须被训练来采纳特定社会的价值观，并且在此过程中，它会努力避免不可接受的行为)”可知，作者认为训练机器人，使其被社会所接受是有必要的。故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’re not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to turn the path of anxiety, anger, and sadness into a state of happiness. Here are four ideas to get you started. ____36____ Laugh out loud. Just expecting a happy funny event can raise levels of pleasure-causing hormones (荷尔蒙) and lower production of stress hormones. Researchers at the University of California tested 16 men who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. ____37____ When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent. Do one thing at a time. Edward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duke, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. ____38____ Instead of talking on the phone while cleaning the kitchen, sit down in a comfortable chair and turn your entire attention over to the conversation. ____39____ Although relationships help take away stress, sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore. Practice mindfulness. ____40____ Instead of worrying about your checkup tomorrow while you have dinner with your family, focus on the here and now — the food, the company, and the conversation. A. Spend time alone. B. Be in the moment. C. Take care of the soul. D. Take that finding to heart. E. Choose the ones that work for you. F. They started experiencing biological changes right away. G. Find a quiet place near your house and make it your secret getaway. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. D 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们如何让自己保持开心，给出了四个实用的建议。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Here are four ideas to get you started.(这里有四个建议可以帮助你开始)”可知，此处针对如何让自己保持开心，给出了四个实用的建议，设空处应该强调你可以从中选出适合你的。E选项“Choose the ones that work for you.(选择那些对你有用的)”承接前文，符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据后文“When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent.(当他们真正观看视频时，他们的压力荷尔蒙水平大幅下降，而快乐荷尔蒙水平上升了27%)” 可知，当他们看视频的时候，他们的荷尔蒙水平下降很快。说明他们从接到通知要观看到真正看到视频这段时间里，他们的生理是有变化的。F选项“They started experiencing biological changes right away.(他们马上开始经历生理变化)”引起下文，指出他们发生了生理变化，符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Edward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duke, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. (杜克大学医学心理学教授爱德华·苏亚雷斯(Edward Suarez)发现，同时做几件事的人更容易患高血压)”可知，同时做几件事情会让我们的血压升高。血压高对人的身体是有不好的影响的。所以我们要认真对待这一问题。D选项“Take that finding to heart.(把这个发现铭记于心)”承接前文，符合语境，强调要用心对待这个发现——即前文所提出的同时做几件事的人更容易患高血压。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据后文的“Although relationships help take away stress, sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore.(虽然人际关系有助于消除压力，但有时你需要时间来充电和反思自己。自己出去吃午饭或看电影，或者花一个下午在家看书，或者在书店看书)”可知，此处强调独处对于消除压力的作用。A选项“Spend time alone.(花时间独处)”概括本段主要内容，符合语境。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Instead of worrying about your checkup tomorrow while you have dinner with your family, focus on the here and now —the food, the company, and the conversation.(与其在与家人共进晚餐时担心明天的体检，不如把注意力集中在此时此地——食物、陪伴和谈话)”可知，本段要求我们关注现在，关注眼前的事情。B选项“Be in the moment.(活在当下)”与下文内容呼应，符合语境。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was a small boy my family was very poor.

The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty. While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc. However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village. One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired. Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life. She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?” Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed. 注意： 1)所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to watch movies. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silences; the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree. Paragraph 2: Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life. Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables and they laughed together. Carol also developed a love for plants, animals and beautiful nature. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Carol和她的父亲 David，母亲May，哥哥Rob幸福地生活在农村，没机会去城市。一天她做了一个梦，梦中见到了她的奶奶，她希望奶奶让她过上渴望的城市的生活。奶奶给她讲了城市的生活，后来她又回到了自己的村子。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Carol发现她和她的朋友们在城市里。”可知，第一段可描写她和她的朋友体验城市的生活，同时也发现城市的一些弊端。 ②由第二段首句内容“Carol的哥哥Rob打电话让她吃午饭，Carol醒了。”可知，第二段可描写她应该是她回忆梦中所发生的一切，她意识到她和家人在农村更快乐。 2.续写线索：农村——渴望——梦境——弊端——意识——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 看电影：watch movies/see a film 回忆：recall/ look back on 意识到：realize/ be aware of 情绪类 高兴：be happy /be delighted 愉快的：joyful / cheerful/ gleeful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life.

After all, she’s already got her master’s degree. The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters. At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings. She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to take up aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests. In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life. 24. What can we know about Thessalonika from the text? A. She majored in science and technology. B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11. C. She started homeschooling when she was 6 years old. D. She got her bachelor’s degree through online courses. 25. What is Thessalonika’s next plan according to the text? A. Majoring in aviation psychology. B Being active in her youth group. C. Making inspiring speeches for leadership meetings. D. Writing another book to help people to be geniuses. 26. Why does Thessalonika write the book Jump the Education Barrier? A. To raise concern about psychology. B. To help people to be successful. C. To give students a hand to complete college. D. To share her own experience with others. 27. What’s the text mainly about? A. Homeschooling. B. The way to be a genius. C. Three published books. D. The story of Thessalonika. C There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose? While both types of bags have some influence on the environment it has long been supposed that paper bags are better. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true? Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper. Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly. There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?” 28. Why does the author ask the question at the end of paragraph 1? A. To express the author’s doubts. B. To tell readers how to save money. C. To show the kindness of the cashier. D. To introduce the point for discussion to arouse readers’ interest. 29. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags _________. A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycle C. have less influence on forests D. take more time to break down 30. What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Shared. B. Discussed. C. Given up. D. Put forward. 31. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask? A. Paper or cloth? B. A new bag or your own one? C. Paper or plastic? D. A small bag or big one? D Fairy tales (童话) perform many functions. They entertain people, encourage imagination, help build up the quality of integrity and teach problem-solving skills. They can also provide moral (道德) lessons, highlighting the danger of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology believe they have found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that artificial intelligence (AI) can take to its cold, mechanical heart. The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables, novels and other literature. They believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity, which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology, including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called Quixote. It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave. Though sounding absurd, it really works. The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line, it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine early, or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives (指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion. After being tested out, Quixote is shown to work best on a robot that has a very limited function. It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons to robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive (努力) to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means. 32. What function do fairy tales perform in the robots? A Entertaining robots. B. Highlighting danger. C. Making robots more intelligent. D. Enabling robots to behave morally. 33. What is Quixote in the text? A. A big name in technology. B. A system of educating robots. C. A punishment system. D. A character in literature. 34. What do the designers expect the robot to do in the experiment? A. Perform with good manners. B. Finish the task most efficiently. C. Take advantage of its privilege. D. Be rewarded by the storekeeper. 35. Which of the following can best express the author’s opinion? A. Robots will definitely have more functions. B. Robots with human emotions are perfect. C. Training robots to be socially acceptable is necessary. D. The development of robots is still in a baby step. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’re not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there.

While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc. However there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village. One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired. Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life. She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?” Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village.
