BQuarrels in a family.CThe human heart. DThe spirits of the time.答案C解析细节理解题。根据Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)标题下的“in the book that Samuel Johnson described as the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human

the society.答案D解析细节理解题。根据Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)标题下的“.whose characters are wellknown since they have come to represent the society at that

over，the crowd made for the exits.A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area.No one slipped due to the wet conditions，but someone did manage to knock over the sign.And by the time Ms Brown got to the area，the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter，so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign，in a bad way，and she fell.Unfortunately Ms Brown had undergone a back operation，and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have.So she and her husband sued(提起诉讼)AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor”sign above was to warn of danger，and therefore，courts should encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed(继续进行)AMC referred to a case about a December,1998 incident，where a “wet floor” sign，not in use，fell to the floor causing another tripandfall.In that case，Georgias Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store，but didnt go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldnt give rise to legal liability(责任) in tripandfall accidents.In the Brown case，the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMCs argument that the former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was，itself，dangerous，because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危险)”Thats rightthe safety sign，used in the way it was designed，was itself dangerous.The court thankfully didnt accept that argument，at least not entirely.But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury(陪审团)“a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”语篇解读本文主要介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家AMC 影院看完电影离开时，被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒受伤后，向法院提起诉讼以及法院的审判结果。24According to the text，Ms Brown .Aslipped on the wet floorBtripped over a warning signCknocked over a warning signDwas knocked down by the crowd答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“.Ms Brown got to the area，the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter，so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign，in a bad way，and she fell.”可知，布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒了。B项中的tripped over意为“被绊倒”，与文章表述相符，故选B项。C项中的knocked over意为“打翻，撞倒”，不符合文意。25AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to .Aaccept its legal liability for Ms Browns lossBprove Ms Brown had some physical problemsCstress that it had no legal liability for the accidentDprove other customers were responsible for the accident答案C解析推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“AMC argued that.encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed(继续进行)”可知，AMC影院认为布朗夫人的控诉不成立，法院应该鼓励使用这样的警示牌，接着第二句AMC影院举出1998年的案例来支持自己的观点。由此可推测，AMC影院提到这一案例是为了强调自己不应该承担本次事故的责任。故选C项。26What can we learn about the Browns case from the last paragraph?AIt would be judged by a jury.BIt would not be allowed to proceed.CThe court would rule in favor of AMC.DThe court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.答案A解析细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury.”可知，法院提请陪审团来审理此案。故选A项。27The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”AdangerBcustomerCbusiness ownerDequipment in public places答案A解析词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知，一个商人选择和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险，而这种设备本身就可能将顾客置于另一种危险中。由此可猜测，one指代上文中的danger。故选A项。C(2017河南开封质检)Almost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white gown，but not the wedding conductor，because she was fixed to her chair.The nuptials at this ceremony were led by “IFairy”，a 4foot (1.5meter) tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails(辫子)Sundays wedding was the first time that a marriage had been led by a robot，according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.“Please lift the brides veil(面纱)，”the robot said in a tinny voice，waving its arms in the air as the newlyweds kissed in front of guests.The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo，where the IFairy wore a wreath of flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony.Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away，where a man clicked commands into a computer.Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world，with the government actively supporting the field for future growth.Industrial models in factories are now standard，but recently Japanese companies are making a push to inject robots into everyday life.Honda makes a walking childshaped robot，and other firms have developed them to entertain the elderly or play baseball.Kokoro，whose corporate goal is to “touch the hearts of the people”，also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and lifelike android models that can smile and laugh.The company is a subsidiary(附属公司) of Sanrio Co.，which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.“This was a lot of fun.I think that Japanese have a strong sense that robots are our friends.Those in the robot industry mostly understand this，but people mainly want robots near them that serve some purpose，”said bride

baseballClook after childrenDlaugh答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段中的“entertain the elderly or play baseball.lifelike android models that can smile and laugh”可知，机器人可以使老人快乐、打棒球或大笑。原文中的the elderly就是A项中的the senior

robot can do many things like their friends.DPeople need robots that can help them in some ways.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“people mainly want robots near them that serve some purpose”可知，人们需要机器人能够在某些方面帮助他们。原文中的want对应D项中的need，serve some purpose对应help them in some ways。31Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AIFairy，a Robot Conducts Wedding in TokyoBThe

too earlythey could also make you fat.Sleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of piling on the pounds, a study shows.Greater exposure to light at night raised both body mass index and waist size in more than 113,000 women taking part in the British study.The study followed the women for 40 years to identify root causes of breast cancer.Obesity is a known risk factor for the disease.“The associations we saw in our study between light exposure at night and obesity are very interesting.We cannot yet tell at this stage what the reason for the associations is，but the results open up an interesting direction for research，”said Prof.Anthony Swerdlow，from the Institute of Cancer Research.“One possible explanation is that the light is interrupting the body clock，which stems from our evolutionary past(进化历程)We were active when it was light in the day and restful when it was dark at night.”Other research has found the effect of nighttime lighting on the body may contribute to unhappy feelings.But its too early to suggest that sleeping in the dark will help prevent obesity，a known risk factor for breast cancer.The findings are reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology.Previous research has drawn similar conclusion.A team at Ohio State University examined how nighttime light affects weight，body fat and glucose intolerance(葡萄糖过敏) in mice.They found that continuing exposure to even a little nighttime light caused increases in all three aspects.Light changes mood，physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24hour cycle.Artificial light is known to interrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin(睡眠荷尔蒙褪黑激素)So there is no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker.语篇解读文章主要介绍了夜间人造光线可能会给人们的身体带来较多的负面影响，比如肥胖、乳腺癌等。32What does the underlined part “piling on the pounds” in the first paragraph mean?APutting pounds into a pile.BFilling in with pounds.CMaking a lot of money.DGaining body weight.答案D解析词义猜测题。根据文章第一段第一句“.they could also make you fat.”可知，简易的窗帘可能会使你变胖，第二句承接本句，由此可猜测，piling on the pounds与“变胖”意思相近。故选D项。33From the passage，we know that .Asleeping in the dark must help prevent obesityBlighting at night makes people happyCnighttime light may affect human beings and miceDit is easy for women to become fat and have cancer答案C解析细节理解题。根据第一段及第五段中的“.how nighttime light affects weight，body fat and glucose intolerance(葡萄糖过敏) in mice.They found that continuing exposure to even a little nighttime light caused increases in all three aspects.”可知，老鼠和人类的睡眠都可能受到夜间光线的影响。A项中的must表达太绝对；根据第四段第一句“.nighttime lighting on the body may contribute to unhappy feelings.”可知B项错误；D项内容在文中未被提及。34The most possible cause of interruption of the body clock is .Athe sleep hormone melatoninBunhappy feelingsCmanmade light at nightDglucose intolerance答案C解析细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Artificial light is known to interrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin(睡眠荷尔蒙褪黑激素)”可知，人体生物钟被打乱最可能的原因是夜间人造光线。故选C项。35The passage is mainly about .Athe evolutionary past of manBobesity and breast cancerCdifferent research and conclusionsDnegative effects of nighttime light答案D解析主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，本文主要介绍了夜间光线带给人身体的一些负面影响，并通过其他研究作为例子来证实此结论。故选D项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2017河北衡水中学联考)How to Be
