(托马斯认为这应该得到适当的庆祝,并提出了
扭转故事的想法:100年前,一个人写了一部关
于机器人的戏剧;如果今天机器人写了一部关
于人类的戏剧呢?)”可知,托马斯斯图德尼克
的建议是让机器人创造一出关于人类的戏剧.]
5.A [词 义 猜 测 题.根 据 第 三 段 划 线 词 下 文

rarelybeentriedbefore.(虽然现在有许多论文
关注机器生成的艺术,包括一些使用计算技术
为戏剧生成对话或故事创意的论文,但自动生
成整个戏剧表演是一项高度复杂的任务,以前

“生产,生成”.]

没有必要介入.]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文.讲述了阅读经
典文学作品的一些方法.
1.E [本 段 首 句“Readsummariesofwhatthe
workisabout.(阅读关于该作品所讲内容的摘
要.)”是主旨句,建议要阅读作品的摘要,以便
了解 内 容 概 要.上 文 “YoucanfinddescripG
tionsorsummariesofclassicworksofliteraG
tureonline.(你可以在网上找到对经典文学作
品的描述或总结.)”讲述了从网上寻找这种方
式,所以这里应是提出另一种方式.E 项中的
also 承 接 上 文,“readthebackcoverofthe
booktogainabasicideaofthestory(读这本书后
面的封皮,对故事有一个基本的了解)”是另一种寻
找内容梗概的方式.]
2.A [空 处 是 本 段 主 旨 句.下 文“Evenifyou
strugglewiththetext,itisimportanttostick
withit.Afterstickingwithitforawhile,the
language,setting,andcharactersmaystartto
becomemorefamiliartoyou.(即使你很难理解
文章,但坚持下去也是很重要的.坚持一段时
间后,语言、背景和人物可能会开始变得更熟
悉.)”讲述了开始阅读后,要能够坚持下去.由
此可知,本段主要讲述的是要坚持.A 项“开始
阅读并继续阅读下去.”符合题意.]
3.F [前 文 “Instead,try makingcommentsor
notesinthemargins(页边空白).(相反,试着在
页边空白处写下评论或笔记.)”讲述了在阅读
的时候要随时在书的空白处写评论或笔记,下
文应评价这种做法.F项“你的评论或笔记可
以帮助你提高对素材的理解.”符合题意,且 F
项中的“Yourcommentsornotes”承接上句中
的“trymakingcommentsornotesinthemarG
gins(页边空白)”.]
4.C [上文“Afteryoufinishachapter,writea
briefsummaryofeverythingimportantthat
happened.(完成一章后,对所发生的一切重要
事情写一个简短的总结.)”讲述了要对每一章
写总结.C项“在不参考课文的情况下写章节
摘要.”符合题意,选项中的“yourchaptersumG
maries”照应上文.]
5.D [上文“Afteryoufinishreadingabook,it
maybeusefultolearnaboutwhatothershave
learnedfromthetext.(读完一本书后,了解别
人从书中学到了什么可能会很有用.)”讲述了
有必要知道别人对这本书的看法.下文“You
canreadcommentaryandcritical(批判性的)
analysesofthebookonline.(你可以在网上阅
读关于这本书的评论和批判性的分析.)”提出
上网可以了解关于此书的意见.D 项“上网看
看是否有任何关于你所读的书的有用信息.”承
上启下.]
