Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user. The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos. Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal. 41. How are social robots different from household robots? A. They can control their emotions. B. They are more like humans. C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly. 42. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3? A. Communicate with you and perform operations. B. Answer your questions and make requests. C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk. D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills. 43. What can Oshbot work as? A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse. 44. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will _______. A. train employees B. be our workmates C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers 45. What does the passage mainly present? A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots. C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社会机器人的功能与作用。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.(虽然现在的家用机器人会做日常家务，但社交机器人将更像伴侣，而不仅仅是工具)”可知，社会机器人更像人或不是纯粹的工具。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据根据第三段中“You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.(你可以和机器人交谈，问它问题，并要求它执行不同的任务。机器人不只是给出问题的一般答案；它根据对家庭中每个人的了解做出反应。它可以做一些事情，比如提醒家庭中年长的成员吃药或拍摄家庭照片)”可知，Jibo机器人能服从命令，提醒服药。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store.(该公司的“Oshbot”机器人是为了在商店里帮助顾客而设计的，它可以帮助顾客找到商品，并引导他们找到商品在商店里的位置)”可知，Oshbot可以做店员。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees.(但与其他社交机器人一样，Oshbot机器人的目的不是取代工人，而是与其他员工一起工作)”可推知，社会机器人可以和我们一起做事情。故选B。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 46. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____. A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons 47. The book caught the author’s eye because_____. A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much 48. Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book. C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D. The happy ending of the story attracted him. 49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author has become a successful writer. B. The author’s mother read the same book. C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since. 50. Which one could be the best title of the passage? A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. B 49. A 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文属于记叙文，介绍了自己是一个不愿意读书的孩子，被妈妈逼着到图书馆去借书，结果因为看到了一本关于与自己所丢失的狗相似的狗的书，从此对阅读产生了兴趣，最终我成为了一个著名的作家。充分说明了书的魅力。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.(这是她战胜我这个奇怪问题的又一个武器——不识字)”可知，作者的母亲告诉他借一本书来帮助治愈他的阅读问题。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段前三句“There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title.(书的封面上有一只小猎犬，看起来和我的狗一模一样。我用手指抚摸封面上的狗的照片。我的目光掠过标题，阿莫斯，有计划的小猎犬号。我不知不觉地看到了标题)”可知，这本书引起了作者的注意，因为它使他想起了自己的狗。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段后三句“Though pages were turned slowly......my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.( 虽然这本书翻得很慢，但我对故事的大意是说，有一只和我的狗一样与家人失散的狗，最终找到了回家的路。那只狗是我的狗，而我就是书里的那个小男孩。在故事的结尾，我的脑海里继续着团圆的最后一幕，一直延续下去，直到我和我那只走失的狗，在我的脑海里，在一起奔跑)”可知，作者把自己当成了书里的小男孩，把书里的那只狗当成了自己丢失的狗，作者在书中找到了自己的影子。这才是作者能够继续读下去的原因。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in the literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.( 多年后，她为儿子读了成千上万本书、获得文学博士学位、自己写书、文章、诗歌和小说而感到自豪。语言的力量依然存在)”可知，作者从一个不愿意读书的人成为一个著名的作家。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。本文叙述了自己从一个不愿意读书的孩子被妈妈逼着到图书馆去借书，结果因为看到了一本书，这本书里介绍了与自己丢失的狗相似的狗，最终我成为了一个著名的作家。充分说明了书的魅力。故选A。 V. 阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.” The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.” Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing. 51. What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words) 52. What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words) 53. What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words) 54. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words) 55. Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words, (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51. He was a postman. Or: He worked in a post-office. 52. He advised him to slow down (and take things easy). / He advised he/his grandfather (should) slow down. 53. The process is more important than the result. Or: A man should not slow down however old he is. Or: Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made. / It's the journey, not the arrival that counts. 54. My/His/The grandfather is still busy doing meaningful things. Or: The grandfather is still living an active life. Or: The grandfather is still involved in whatever he can do. 55. Yes. Because one should always be full of passion in his life no matter how old he is. Or: Because people should make full use of their time to do something meaningful. No. Because it is more sensible for people to slow down and enjoy an easy life in their old age. Or: Because slowing down contributes to better health and longer life for people in old age. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者的爷爷曾经是名邮寄员，然而退休之后一直忙于做一些有意义的事情。作者写信给爷爷让他多休息休息，但爷爷回信说他仍然坚持他的忙碌的生活。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段At age 68, he retired from the post office可知，68岁时，他从邮局退休。故回答为：He was a postman. Or: He worked in a post-office. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down.可知作者在信中建议他爷爷放慢速度。故回答为：He advised him to slow down (and take things easy). / He advised he/his grandfather (should) slow down. 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.可知，重要的是旅程，而不是到达。故回答为：The process is more important than the result.Or: A man should not slow down however old he is.Or: Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made. / It's the journey, not the arrival that counts. 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community.”68岁时，他从邮局退休，但他从未停止过为社区服务。根据第三段“Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” 生活不只是拥有,而是去创造。根据上下文的语境可以判断出，划线词的意思“他爷爷仍然在忙于做有意义的事情”的事。故回答为：My/His/The grandfather is still busy doing meaningful things.Or: The grandfather is still living an active life.Or: The grandfather is still involved in whatever he can do. 【55题详解】 开放题。作者的爷爷曾经是名邮寄员，然而退休之后一直忙于做一些有意义的事情。作者写信给爷爷让他多休息休息，但爷爷回信说他仍然坚持他的忙碌的生活。首先要回答同意不同意他爷爷的生活观，并且陈述自己的理由。故回答为：Yes. Because one should always be full of passion in his life no matter how old he is.Or: Because people should make full use of their time to do something meaningful. No. Because it is more sensible for people to slow down and enjoy an easy life in their old age.Or: Because slowing down contributes to better health and longer life for people in old age.

Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user. The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos. Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal. 41. How are social robots different from household robots? A. They can control their emotions. B. They are more like humans. C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly. 42. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3? A. Communicate with you and perform operations. B. Answer your questions and make requests. C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk. D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills. 43. What can Oshbot work as? A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse. 44. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will _______. A. train employees B. be our workmates C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers 45. What does the passage mainly present? A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots. C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots. C One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 46. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____. A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons 47. The book caught the author’s eye because_____. A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much 48. Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book. C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D.

At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.” The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.” Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing. 51. What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words) 52.
