For example, when you call a bank or shop online, you might talk to a robot first. These chatbots can answer simple questions, like “Where is my order?” or “How to reset a password?” A survey shows 65% of people think chatbots save time, but 30% say they feel angry when robots can’t solve complex problems. “AI is helpful, but it can’t understand human feelings,” says IT expert Ms. Li. Some companies now mix AI and human service: robots handle easy tasks, while humans take over difficult cases. 11．What do chatbots help companies do? A．Design new products. B．Repair computers. C．Clean offices. D．Talk with customers. 12．What percentage of people think chatbots save time? A．30%. B．50%. C．65%. D．80%. 13．Why do some people get angry with chatbots? A．They work too fast. B．They can’t solve hard problems. C．They cost too much money. D．They need internet connection. 14．The word “complex” in Paragraph 2 means ________. A．difficult. B．easy. C．interesting.

(现在更多的公司使用AI聊天机器人与客户交谈。)”可知，聊天机器人帮助公司与客户交谈。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“A survey shows 65% of people think chatbots save time (一项调查显示，65%的人认为聊天机器人节省时间)”可知，65%的人认为聊天机器人节省时间。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“but 30% say they feel angry when robots can’t solve complex problems (但30%的人说，当机器人无法解决复杂问题时，他们会感到愤怒)”可知，有些人对聊天机器人感到生气是因为它们无法解决难题。 14．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“robots handle easy tasks, while humans take over difficult cases (机器人处理简单的任务，而人类接管困难的案例)”可知，complex和difficult相关，意为“复杂的、困难的”。 15．主旨大意题。文章既提到了聊天机器人节省时间的好处，也提到了无法解决复杂问题和理解情感的不足，B项“AI Chatbots: Helpful but Not Perfect”最能概括全文。 B A new device is helping blind people see in a new way. Esterhuizen, who lost his sight in a car accident, is testing this technology. With a simple switch, he can now see flickers of light. He says it’s amazing to go from seeing nothing to seeing some light movements. Dr. Nader Pouratian, one of the researchers, says this technology helps blind people tell where things are, like doorways and sidewalks. This can help them be more independent. The new technology has several parts. There’s a small device in the brain, a video camera on sunglasses, and a processing device that can be carried. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor and then back to the glasses. The glasses talk wirelessly to the brain device. This information helps the user’s brain’s visual cortex(视皮质) detect movement and light shapes. It all happens very quickly. Researchers think this technology could help many people who have lost their sight, or have poor vision, or are born blind. 16．What kind of people is the new device designed to help? A．People with hearing loss. B．People with visual impairment. C．People with speech disabilities. D．People with physical disabilities. 17．How does Esterhuizen describe his experience with the new technology? A．Disappointing. B．Uncomfortable. C．Amazing. D．Difficult. 18．What does Dr. Nader Pouratian say about the new technology? A．It can restore full vision. B．It helps blind people navigate better. C．It can treat eye diseases. D．It is only suitable for the elderly. 19．According to the researchers, who could potentially benefit from this technology? A．Only those who have lost their sight completely. B．Only those who are born blind. C．Those who have poor vision or are blind. D．Those who have hearing loss or speech disabilities. 20．What is the overall purpose of the new device? A．To improve the quality of life for blind people. B．To create entertainment for visually impaired individuals. C．To study the brain’s visual cortex in detail. D．To treat eye diseases caused by accidents. 【答案】16．B 17．C 18．B 19．C 20．A 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍一种新技术来帮助盲人看到光线和运动的设备正在开发，这可能会通过让他们检测物体和导航环境来增加他们的独立性。 【详解】16．细节理解题。根据第一段“A new device is helping blind people see in a new way (一种新设备正在帮助盲人以新的方式看东西)”可知，新设备是为帮助视觉障碍人士设计的。故选B。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段“Esterhuizen, who lost his sight in a car accident, is testing this technology. With a simple switch, he can now see flickers of light. He says it’s amazing to go from seeing nothing to seeing some light movements (埃斯特胡伊森在一场车祸中失去了视力，他正在测试这项技术。通过一个简单的开关，他现在可以看到闪烁的光。他说从什么都看不到到能看到一些光线移动，真是太神奇了)”可知，埃斯特休森认为他使用新技术的新体验是很神奇的。故选C。 18．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Nader Pouratian, one of the researchers, says this technology helps blind people tell where things are, like doorways and sidewalks (研究人员纳德尔·普拉蒂安博士说，这项技术可以帮助盲人判断物体的位置，比如门口和人行道)”可知，纳德尔·普拉蒂安博士认为新技术帮助盲人更好地导航。故选B。 19．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Researchers think this technology could help many people who have lost their sight, or have poor vision, or are born blind (研究人员认为这项技术可以帮助许多失明的人，视力差的人或先天性盲人)”可知，视力差或失明的人从这项技术中受益。故选C。 20．推理判断题。根据第一段“A new device is helping blind people see in a new way (一种新设备正在帮助盲人以新的方式看东西)”可知，新设备的总体目的是改善盲人的生活质量。故选A。 C “Life is speeding up. Everyone is becoming unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unwell person who lived in ancient Rome wrote it. We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But is it true that having all these developments really improves the quality of our lives. Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings. A message from your friend appears on the screen. The noise from the telephone is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps that is because they live simpler lives. One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons, Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone. The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a fashionable granny to one who cooked things. 21．Who was the quote (引语) in paragraph 1 written by? A．The old granny. B．The unwell writer. C．An ancient Roman. D．A creative inventor. 22．What does the writer want to tell us in paragraph 3? A．New inventions can bring us some troubles. B．New inventions can help us work more efficiently. C．New inventions can improve the quality of our lives. D．New inventions can make people feel relaxed while working. 23．Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house? A．Because they loved to live simple lives. B．Because they were troubled by modern inventions. C．Because they all enjoyed by modern inventions. D．Because they wanted to experience life without modern inventions. 24．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Their life became simpler. B．The family enjoyed living together. C．They fell in love with the old house. D．They felt their life was full of excitement. 25．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of technology. B．Problems caused by technology. C．The development of technology. D．How technology improves our life. 【答案】21．C 22．A 23．D 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。通过古今对比和具体事例，探讨了科技发展加速生活节奏的同时带来的压力问题，并反思简单生活的价值。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But in fact, an unwell person who really lived in ancient Rome wrote it. (但事实上，这句话是古罗马一位身体不适的人写的。)” 可知，第一段的引言是古罗马人写的。故选C。 22．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. (突然，电脑一片空白，你所有的工作都没了。现在你不得不熬夜把它做完。)”和第四段“Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. (发明极大地加快了我们的生活节奏，以至于它们常常让我们感到压力和疲惫。)”可知，第三段所举的电脑故障导致作业丢失的例子，作者想告诉我们新发明会带来一些麻烦。故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One family in the UK went ‘back in time’ to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. (英国的一个家庭‘回到过去’，去看看没有我们如今拥有的所有发明时的生活是什么样的。)”可知，这个家庭选择在20世纪40年代风格的房子里生活一段时间是想体验没有现代发明的生活。故选D。 24．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The grandmother, Lynn, said, ‘The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.’ The boys said they fought less. (祖母林恩说：‘你拥有的东西越多，生活就变得越艰难。’男孩们说他们争吵变少了。)”可推断出，没有现代发明，他们的生活变得更简单了。故选A。 25．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文通过古罗马引语、现代生活压力案例及家庭实验，聚焦科技发展带来的问题，如让人感到压力等。B 选项“Problems caused by technology. (科技带来的问题)”最能概括文章主旨。故选B。 3、 补全对话：本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分。在七个选项中选择五个，有二个多余选项。 A: Hi.Welcome to “Technology Today”. Here are some robots made by the students. B: Really? _________26_________ A: They can help people do many things. We have the home­help robot, the study­help robot, and so on.
