you know what _37_ means, and you know how people _38_when they argue. from this, you can _39_ out that vehemently has something to do with strong _40_ or intense feeling.21a. take down b. look up. c. come across d. pick out22a. sentences b. words c. topics d. surroundings23a.unknown b. abnormal c. familiar d. negative24a. unique b. natural c. helpful d. common25a. incorrect b. inconvenient c. different d. satisfactory26a. cases b. reasons c. effects d. clues27a. translate b. interview ccontinue d. examine28a. strangely b. uncertainly c potentially d. firmly29a. alike b. meaningful c proper d. great30a. properties b. similarities c possibilities d. personalities31a. popularity b. consideration cexample d. comparison32a. affected b. adjusted c. changed d. introduced33afocus b. spend c. carry d. rely34a. prevents b. helps c. tells d. displays35a. point b. taste c. awareness d. sense36a. mean b. use c. contain d. complete37a. angry b. grateful c. happy d. anxious38a. act b. say c. take d. think39a. come b. figure c. feel d. set40a. demand b. ambition c. attitude d. emotion第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）第1节 ：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项选项的标号涂黑。aone evening last summer, when i asked my 14 year old son, ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked mewhats a colander(漏勺)?

we may be at risk of letting our guard down, treating them as extended member of our family. if the technology around us is able to record and process speech, images and movement, or listen secretly to us, what will happen to that information? where will it be stored? who will have access? if our internet history can be a mirror, these details could be worth their gold weight to advertisement company. if we grow accustomed to having trustworthy robots getting into our daily lives, our words and deeds could easily become over-exposed.so, what is the safest way to welcome robots into our homes, public spaces, and social lives? we should be cautiously optimistic that intelligent machines could become enriching companions, while acknowledging that we need to determine strict boundaries for robots.we might think of expanding the reach of consumer protection agencies or creating new robot-centered policies. advances in robots may call for a body responsible for the combination of robots with society. there should be someone to turn to should your robot commit a crime, steal your card or try to eat your hair.50. the hair-eating story in paragraph 1 is intended to _.a. show the poor quality of the productb. warn us to keep far away from vacuumc. introduce the topic of the discussiond. appeal to us to take pity on the victim51. according to the writer, it is wise to _.a. tell our deepest, darkest secrets to human robots straightlyb. have deep interaction with robots friends eagerlyc. make robots more socially aware than they are describedd. manage our expectations and adjust our trust towards robots52. the last two paragraphs are mainly about _.a. some reasons why we should be careful with robotsb. some background information of the writers conclusionc. some measures to be taken t
