Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings，the restaurant industry.可知机器人应用在很多领域，包括搜救工作以及即将承担餐馆中的工作等，故此段的主要目的是告诉我们机器人在日常生活中被广泛使用。2D解析：细节理解题。由第二段尾句：The failures showed how difficult it is to design effective walking machines.可知，一些参赛团队失败的原因是不能设计有效的步行机器人。3B解析：推理判断题。由最后一段第一、二、三句：One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home. Masayo Mori says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot. Suzumo Machinery showed its sushi(寿司) maker robot.可知，一位日本妇女见到正在工作的机器人想将之带回家去，Masayo Mori说她想要一个像机器人一样工作的丈夫，以及后面提到的日本公司用机器人做寿司等可推断，机器人在日本是非常受欢迎的。4D解析：推理判断题。纵览全文可知，本文主要介绍了机器人的用途、机器人竞赛、制作，以及机器人在生活中的使用，这种主题应该出现在科学专栏里。.完形填空One rainy evening I went to fill up at the gas station.A preteen boy approached my car with a thick hoodie(连帽衫)_1_around his face.He asked me for money to help him and his mother stay in their hotel for an additional week.He stated that if they did not_2_$25 they would be driven out that_3_evening.Having worked in social services before，and being a little skeptical，I asked how come his mother hadnt sought out social services for_4_.The boy said that they needed to_5_in their hotel for one more week until his grandmother，who lived out of town，could take them in.I gave the boy what I had$5.He thanked me and continued to_6_the parking lot asking for help.I got my gas and drove away.A(n)_7_time some weeks ago，a boy asked me for money and I told him I didnt have any_8_I did.The skeptic in me had_9_out.Yet，I thought about it，felt_10_at my skepticism and went_11_the boy to give him a dollar.But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air.“This time，”I thought，“Ill do it_12_.”I reached into my_13_and took out an additional $20；then I returned to the gas station.The boy was_14_there.I observed him_15_approaching strangers who walked past him but took no_16_of him.I pulled up beside a pump and waved_17_the boy to come over.I handed him the $20 bill.He_18_through my car window and gave me a huge hug.His hug told me all I needed to knowthat finally this kid could get out of the_19_，the cold and the darkening sky and go inside where it was_20_.1A.hung Bpulled Cshown Dhidden2A.come up with Bcatch up withCput up with Dfeed up with3A.certain BpossibleCsame Dexact4A.guidance BreferenceCadvice Dassistance5A.remain BsurviveCkeep Dcontinue6A.stretch BcleanCwander Dsearch7A.appointed BseparateCusual Dregular8A.as BunlessCbecause Dthough9A.worn BturnedCcome Dwon10A.deserved BashamedCrelaxed Dworried11A.looking at Blooking forClooking on Dlooking into12A.accidentally BpurposelyCdifferently Dquickly13A.schoolbag BwalletCsuitcase Dcar14A.still BjustCyet Deven15A.suddenly BbravelyCreluctantly Dconstantly16A.account BadvantageCcontrol Dnotice17A.with BatCupon Dfor18A.gained BheldCgathered Dreached19A.rain BgarageChotel Dline20A.sunny BfreezingCwarm Dquiet答案：解题导语本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在加油站帮助一个乞讨孩子的故事。25美元就能垫付一晚的房费，给一对母子一个温暖的歇脚的地方。1B解析：由最后一段中的“the cold”可知，男孩因天冷将连帽衫拉起来遮住脸，故选pulled。2A解析：由空后的“driven”可知，此处指男孩和他的母亲若交不上25美元的房费就会被驱赶出去，故选come up with，表示“提供，拿出(钱款)”。3C解析：由下文中的“took out an additional $20; then I returned to the gas station”可知，作者明白这25美元对男孩意义重大，否则他们当晚就会被驱赶出去，故选same。exact意为“确切的”。4D解析：由上文中的“sought out social services”可知，作者反问男孩，为何他的母亲不向社会福利部门求助，故选assistance。5A解析：由下文中的“for one more week”和“take them in”可知，此处指在男孩的外婆收留他们母子之前他们仍需在宾馆多待一个星期，故选remain“停留，留下”。6C解析：由上文中的“$25”和“I gave the boy what I had $5”可知，男孩所需的房费没有凑够，他继续在停车场徘徊，寻求帮助，故选wander“徘徊，闲逛”。7B解析：由下文中的“some weeks ago”可知，此处指作者回想起几周前一个不同的时间里发生的事，故选separate。appointed意为“规定的”。8D解析：根据下文的内容可知，此处指一个男孩向作者要钱，尽管作者有钱，但他却告诉男孩他没钱。前后句之间是让步关系，故选though“尽管”。9D解析：由上文中的“I told him I didnt have any_I did”和“The skeptic in me”可知，此处指作者的疑心最终胜出了，故选择won。win out“(克服困难)获得成功，最终胜出”。10B解析：由“to give him a dollar. But it seemed.air”可知，此处指作者虽然因疑心而没有给男孩钱，但内心一直很惭愧，故选ashamed“惭愧的，羞愧的”。deserved意为“理所当然的”。11B解析：由下文中的“But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air”可知，此处指作者去寻找(looking for)要钱的男孩，但他似乎已消失得无影无踪了。12C解析：由上文的内容及“This time”“Ill do it”可知，此处指作者这次吸取了上次的教训，决定改变做法，去帮助向他要钱的男孩，故选differently“不同地”。13B解析：由“reached into”和“took out”可知，此处指作者把手伸进钱包，取出了额外的20美元。14A解析：由下文中的“approaching strangers who walked past him”可知，男孩仍在停车场，故选still“仍然”。15D解析：由“approaching strangers who walked past him.handed him the $20 bill”可知，为了凑够房费，男孩不断地接近从他身边经过的陌生人，但无人理会他。constantly“不断地”。16D解析：参见上题解析。take no notice of “不理会”。17B解析：由空前的“waved”和下文中的“I handed him the $20 bill”可知，此处指作者把车停在了油泵旁边，向男孩招手让他过来。wave at/to sb.“向某人招手”。18D解析：由下文中的“through my car window and gave me a huge hug”可知，男孩把手伸进车窗，给了作者一个大大的拥抱，故选reached。19A解析：由文章开头的“One rainy evening”可知，故事发生在雨夜，而最后男孩凑够了房费，这意味着他可以不用待在雨中了，故选rain。20C解析：由上文中的“the cold and the darkening sky”和“go inside”可知，此处指男孩可以走进温暖的宾馆房间。同时此处也升华了文章的主题，即帮助他人，让他人感觉到温暖。.语法填空2017安徽合肥一检Sammy Armstrong was driving to his office when he 1._(notice)a car was stuck on railroad tracks.Then he heard a train whistle.Sammy threw down his sunglasses and keys and ran toward the car.2._elderly man，Jean Papich，eightyfour，sat in the drivers seat,3._(turn)the key and hitting the gas.His wife，Marion，seventyeight，was looking 4._(nervous)at him.Then Sammy walked 5._the car and pushed it forward，but his boots slipped on the warm asphalt (沥青)He could see the train approaching fast.It might be 6._(easy)to push the car backward，Sammy thought.He ran around to the front of the vehicle and shouted at Jean 7._(put)the car in neutral (空挡)Sammy could feel the ground trembling under his feet.He put his boots against the track and pushed forcefully.Finally，the car rolled off the tracks.When Sammy looked up，the train was just a couple of 8._(foot)away.Sammy，shocked and 9._(speech)，went back to work as crowd gathered at the scene.Weeks later，Marion called to thank Sammy.He responded，“I just did 10._I had to do.”答案：解题导语本文为记叙文。Sammy Armstrong在开车上班的路上解救了一辆卡在铁轨上的汽车。1noticed解析：考查动词时态。文章的整体时态为过去时，且主句中用的是过去进行时，故填noticed。2An解析：考查冠词。man在文中第一次提到，应用不定冠词，且elderly的读音以元音音素开头，故填An，注意首字母大写。3turning解析：考查非谓语动词。空处与句子主语是主谓关系，应用现在分词作伴随状语
