Ⅳ.阅读理解
A pair of researchers with Leibniz University of Hannover has demonstrated(展示) the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals.As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm,Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddaddin showed how pain might be used in robots,by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain.
The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations,but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain.“Pain is a system that protects us,” says Kuehn.“When we avoid the source of pain,it helps us not get hurt.” So when robots can feel and react to pain,they will become smart enough to avoid it.The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be,the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger.Additionally,Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain,especially those in heavy machinery,will be protected around them.
They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature.It uses a robot-tissue patch(小片) modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take.For example,if the arm feels light pain,it slowly withdraws until the pain stops,and then returns to its original task;severe pain,meanwhile,causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator.
Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions,of course,if they become more common.If a robot acts the same way as a human does when touching a hot plate,are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain?Only time will tell of course,but one thing is evident—Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human-like than ever.
1.What do we learn about the robots in the demonstration?
A.They have the ability to feel pain.
B.They can learn skills like animals.
C.They can communicate with people.
D.They respond differently to requests.
2.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A.The principle of robots’ avoidance of injuries.
B.The significance of teaching robots to feel pain.
C.The analysis of the artificial robot nervous system.
D.The value of protecting human workers from injuries.
3.What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3?
A.The robot is smart enough to carry out different tasks.
B.The robot can hardly work as well as a human operator.
C.The robot can react differently based on degrees of pain.
D.The robot is tolerant of changes of pressure and temperature.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards Kuehn and Haddadin’s study?
A.Optimistic. B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear. D.Dismissive.
Ⅴ.七选五
Most of you may want your kids to stay away from social media because it can bring harm.But social media can have a positive effect on them,like helping them learn how to communicate with others,improve relationships and deal with somebody who isn’t being kind to them. 1 .If you decide to let your kids use social media,follow a few tips to help them better explore the social media world.
Talk to your kids.From the beginning,it’s important to have an open and honest conversation with your kids about what social media is and what it can be used for.Ask why they’re interested in having an account on a particular platform and what they want to use it for. 2 .
Limit screen time.The American Academy of Pediatrics(儿科) recommends limiting screen time to two hours a day for kids. 3 ,but parents should also focus on a bigger picture—making sure your kids are getting enough physical activity and face-to-face interactions.
Monitor their usage. 4 ,whether that’s scrolling through(滚动浏览) their tablet or phone or using a social media monitoring tool.“See what apps are there and familiarize yourself with those,” psychologist Kate Eshleman says.“Ask yourself if this tool is going to fit your goal.”
5 .Easier said than done,right?But practicing safe and healthy social media behaviors in front of your kids really matters.“It’s much harder for kids to understand the potential dangers or risks of social media when parents engage in the same behaviors themselves,” Eshleman says.
A.Be a role model
B.That’s a good guideline
C.Check on what your kids are consuming
D.Put a ban on improper social media behaviors
E.As they start venturing into the world of social media,keep talking

Ⅷ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a usual cheerful and playful day for Dorothy.The only difference was that her family had shifted to a new apartment.Although she had been in the new house for just two days,Dorothy had already started liking it very much,not only because of the spacious rooms,but also because of a large Mango tree which had lovingly extended its branches across the balcony(阳台) of her house.The mango tree not only gave a beautiful view but also served as home for a large number of birds and small animals.Dorothy’s mother was also fond of plants and had kept many potted plants on the balcony.
A week passed by.On a Sunday morning,Dorothy was awakened by a loud noise in her neighbourhood.She ran towards the balcony,and to her surprise,she found some people chopping off the much adored mango tree.She ran up to her mother and explained the matter.
Dorothy and her mother looked down from the balcony.They saw two men under the guidance of Mr.Denver,cutting the mango tree down.Mr.Denver was the resident of the ground floor apartment.Upon enquiry he said angrily,“This tree is blocking my view.I cannot see my car properly because of this obstacle.”Dorothy and her mother understood that there was no point in having an argument with Mr.Denver.
From then on,Dorothy tried all possible ways to take her revenge against Mr.Denver for cutting her beloved mango tree.She did many tricks such as sticking the chewed chewing gum on his calling bell,sprinkling(洒) sugar on his balcony to attract ants,jumping on the floor to create noise,etc.
Days passed by.One morning,as Dorothy was helping her mother water the potted plants kept in the balcony,she couldn’t take her eyes away from the fresh green leaves growing out from the bark(树皮) of the injured mango tree.Dorothy couldn’t hold her excitement and started jumping with delight.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One day,Dorothy’s parents decided to invite Mr.Denver for dinner.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以感知疼痛的机器人,解释了教会机器人感知疼痛的意义以及机器人可以根据疼痛程度做出不同的反应。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As part of their demonstration...to react differently to differing amounts of pain.”可知,演示中的机器人有感觉疼痛的能力。故选A项。
2.B 段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知,开发人工机器人神经系统的想法似乎与所有人的期望相反,但Kuehn说,这样做很重要,就像人类感觉疼痛一样。“疼痛是一种保护我们的系统,”库恩说。“当我们避开痛苦的根源时,它就能帮助我们不受伤。”因此,当机器人能够感受到疼痛并做出反应时,它们将变得足够聪明,能够避免疼痛。机器人发现的威胁越危险,它就会越快地撤离并避开危险源。此外,Kuehn和Haddadin说,人类和机器人一起工作,尤其是那些在重型机械上工作的机器人,将会受到保护。由此可知,第二段主要讲的是教会机器人感知疼痛的意义。故选B项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example,if the arm feels light pain,...it can get help from a human operator.”可知,机器人可以根据疼痛程度做出不同的反应。故选C项。
4.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Only time will tell of course,but one thing is evident—Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human-like than ever.”可推知,作者对Kuehn和Haddadin的研究持乐观态度。故选A项。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了父母应该如何帮助孩子合理地使用社交媒体。
1.G 前文“But social media can have a positive effect on them,...who isn’t being kind to them.”提到社交媒体会对孩子产生积极的影响,后文“If you decide to let your kids use social media,follow a few tips to help them better explore the social media world.”引出帮助孩子更好地使用社交媒体的建议,空处应该会提到让孩子适当接触社交媒体。G项“因此,完全不使用社交媒体可能不是你孩子的最佳解决方案”承上启下,符合语境。故选G项。
2.E 本段的主题句是“Talk to your kids.”。前文主要建议在开始使用社交媒体前和孩子对话,了解他们的想法,空处应该会建议在孩子们使用社交媒体的过程中也保持对话。E项“当他们开始涉足社交媒体世界时,请继续交谈”呼应主题句,符合语境,其中的talking与主题句中的Talk呼应。故选E项。
3.B 前文提出要限制儿童每天看屏幕的时间,后文指出父母应着眼于更大的图景,保证孩子的体育活动和面对面的互动,空处应该是对限制屏幕时间做出评价。B项“那是一个很好的指导方针”承上启下,符合语境,其中的That指代前一句中的“limiting screen time to two hours a day for kids”。故选B项。
4.C 本段主题句是“Monitor their usage.”。后文“whether that’s scrolling through their tablet or phone or using a social media monitoring tool.”给出监控孩子使用的方法,空处应该是建议检查孩子们在用社交媒体做什么。C项“检查你的孩子在消费什么”引出后文,呼应主题句,符合语境。其中的Check on和主题句中的Monitor呼应。故选C项。
5.A 根据后文“Easier said than done,right?But practicing safe and healthy social media behaviors in front of your kids really matters.”可知,本段主要建议要成为孩子们使用社交媒体的榜样。空处位于段首,是段落主题句,需统领段落内容,应该与成为榜样相关。A项“做一个榜样”符合语境,与段落内容一致。故选A项。
Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。位于北京西郊翠微山南麓的法海寺藏有近600年前的明代壁画。随着明朝的没落,这些壁画也失去了光辉。如今,现代技术使得人们能够欣赏数字化的壁画,而原始的壁画也得以倍加保护。
1.was built 考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语“in 1439 during the time of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty”可知,此处用一般过去时;又因为动词build和主语The temple之间存在动宾关系,故此处用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。
2.sites 考查名词复数。此处site意为“遗址”,为可数名词,根据空前one of the three可知,此处用所给名词的复数形式。故填sites。
3.who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词是15 artists,故此处用关系代词who。故填who。
4.its 考查代词。此处用所给代词的形容词性物主代词修饰空后的名词splendour。故填its。
5.the 考查冠词。此处特指前面提到的the Ming Dynasty,故用定冠词the。故填the。
6.employing 考查非谓语动词。此处用所给动词的动词-ing形式作介词By的宾语。故填employing。
7.valuable/valued 考查形容词。此处用形容词修饰名词frescoes。此处填valuable或valued均表示“珍贵的”。故填valuable/valued。
8.in 考查介词。“in charge of”意为“管理”,为固定短语。故填in。
9.Currently 考查副词。此处用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。该空位于句首,故所填词的首字母需大写。故填Currently。
10.to rest 考查非谓语动词。allow sb./sth.to do(sth.) 意为“使得/允许某人/某物做某事”,为固定用法,所以应用动词不定式在此处作宾语补足语。故填to rest。

One day,Dorothy’s parents decided to invite Mr.Denver for dinner.After all the friendly talks over dinner,Dorothy’s father casually spoke to Mr.Denver about the importance of plants in life,stressing that plants and trees around the house are beneficial to our health.Mr.Denver listened very carefully.Soon Dorothy’s mother brought a potted plant from her balcony and handed it over to Mr.Denver,saying “This plant will look beautiful on your balcony.I can take you to the nearby nursery and help you select more plants.”
Mr.Denver received the potted plant warmly with a smile.Then Dorothy’s mother explained the benefit and importance of the mango tree,which not only gave a beautiful view but also served as home for a large number of birds.Hearing these words,Mr.Denver admitted his mistake and promised not to cut the tree again.Dorothy stood with a smile looking at all these and admired the peaceful way her parents had chosen to save the mango tree.The mango tree,with the love and care from all,once again grew back to its original form soon.
