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 Satoko Inoue, 36, who works at manufacturer Kokoro Co.The IFairy sells for about 6.3 million yen (D|S 57,000) and three are in use in Singapore, the US. and Japan, according to the company spokeswoman Kayako Kido.语篇解读：文章介绍了能主持婚礼的机器人IFairy，包含了它如何主持婚礼以及其市场前景。1The underlined word “nuptials” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “_”Aconductors BbridesCrobots Dweddings解析：选D词义猜测题。根据第三段“Please lift the brides veil (面纱)， . as the newlyweds kissed in front of guests.”可知，机器人主持的是婚礼。由此可猜测，nuptial的同义词是wedding，意为“婚礼”。2The robots made in Japan can do the following EXCEPT _.Aentertain the senior peopleBplay baseballClook after childrenDlaugh解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“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。没有提到照顾小孩，故选C。3What can we learn from what bride Satoko Inoue said?AA robot has been widely used to serve the people in Japan.BIts very interesting to work with a robot in her company.CJapanese consider a robot can do many things like their friends.DPeople need robots that can help them in some ways.解析：选D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“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。故选D。4Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AIFairy, a Robot Conducts Wedding in TokyoBThe Development of RobotsCAll Kinds of Robots in JapanDWedding Customs in Japan解析：选A标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了在日本机器人如何支持婚礼，并介绍了机器人的发展前景。故选A项。BSelfie sticks (自拍杆) are now often used, as are selfie cameras on phones, and the word “selfie” was even added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013. The results of a recent research have showed that about 93 million selfies were taken per day in 2014, counting only those taken on Android phones.While selfies are extremely common, opinions_on_selfies_are_divided, with some seeing them as a creative idea and a way to connect other people and others seeing them as narcissistic (自恋的) and unreal.As a new cultural pattern, selfies are of interest to psychologists, in terms of how people think and feel when taking and viewing both their own selfies and those posted by others. In a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology, Sarah Diefenbach, a scientist at LudwigMaximiliansUniversity Munich, carried out an online survey to study peoples motivation (动机) for posting selfies and comments when taking and viewing selfies.A total of 238 people living in Austria, Germany and Switzerland completed the survey. The researchers found that 77% of the volunteers regularly took selfies. Interestingly, as 77% of the volunteers taking selfies regularly, 6267% agreed on the likely negative influences of selfies. 82% of the volunteers explained that they would rather see other types of photos instead of selfies on social media. This behavior, that many people regularly take selfies but most people dont appear to like them has been called the “selfie paradox (自拍悖论)” by Diefenbach.The key to the paradox may lie in the way the volunteers view their own selfies, compared with those of others. The volunteers explained that their own selfies have greater selfexhibition and are more believable when compared with selfies taken by others. “This may explain how everybody can take selfies without feeling narcissistic. If most people think like this, then it is no wonder that the world is full of selfies，” Diefenbach explains.语篇解读：自拍在社交媒体上极为流行，但你知道为什么人们爱自拍却不爱看自拍吗？5What can we know about the recent research?ASelfies make people close to each other.BPeople want to show the world their happiness.CSelfies are quite common and very popular.DMost selfies in the research are taken on Android phones.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段的“the word selfie was even added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013. The results of a recent research have showed that about 93 million selfies were taken per day in 2014”可知，自拍非常常见，而且极为流行。6What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Para.2?AThe author has a different opinion about selfies.BDifferent people have different ideas about selfies.CThe volunteers were divided into two different teams.DThere were two different patterns of selfies.解析：选B句意理解题。根据第二段的“some seeing them as a creative idea and a way to connect other people and others seeing them as narcissistic and unreal”可知，不同的人对自拍有不同的看法。7Which statement about the research of 238 volunteers is TRUE?AThe Germans took up a half amount.BAll the volunteers are from the same country.CThe men studied spent less time taking selfies.DMore than half of the volunteers prefer to see other types of photos.解析：选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“82% of the volunteers explained that they would rather see other types of photos instead of selfies on social media”可知，82%的志愿者表示他们更愿意在社交媒体上看其他类型的照片，而不是自拍的照片。8According to Diefenbach, the reason why the world is full of selfies is that _.Aselfies on social media should be changed regularlyBfew people realize that they take selfies too oftenCthe volunteers believe their own selfies are more believableDpeople who like to take selfies dont consider they are narcissistic解析：选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容以及最后一段的最后一句可知，迪芬巴赫把这种现象许多人定期自拍但大多数人好像不喜欢看别人的自拍称作“自拍悖论”。他认为“这可能就解释了为什么每个自拍的人都不感觉自己是自恋的。如果大多数人都这么想，这个世界上充满自拍就不足为奇了。”由此可知答案。.语法填空In Hangzhou, borrowing books from the library is now as simple as shopping online: click, pay _1_ wait for delivery.The citys public library recently launched a program on WeChat, _2_ popular Chinese messaging software, enabling its readers to check out books online and get them _3_ (deliver) to their homes at low prices.To enjoy the “Hangzhou enjoyable reading” service, one first needs to follow the librarys official WeChat account, _4_ provides a list of books.
