few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year,is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesnt just deliver general answers to questions;it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The companys “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interactions the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,” said Breazeal.21.How are social robots different from household robots?A.They can control their emotions.B.They are more like humans.C.They do the normal housework.D.They respond to users more slowly.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句话“Whilehouseholdrobotstodaydothenormalhousework,socialrobotswillbemuchmorelikecompanionsthanmeretools.”可知社交机器人更像人。故选B项。22.What can Oshbot work as?A.A language teacher.B.A

robots.B.Marketing strategies for social robots.C.Information on household robots.D.An introduction to social robots.答案D解析主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了社交机器人的功能与作用。故选D项。B导学号12194007LIFEINTHEFUTUREWhat life will be like in the future is difficult to predict.It is,however,possible to use models to make forecasts about future developments.One way to catch a glimpse of the future is to examine some of the major trends in contemporary society.TRANSPORTATIONCurrent trends(趋势) indicate that transportation is becoming cleaner,faster and safer.Public transportation is already well developed in most urban areas of China.New technology is being used to make sure that the cars,taxis,buses and trains we use do not pollute the air.A good example of how transportation is changing is the new maglev train,which is environmentally friendly,energy-saving and travels at an amazing speed of 430 km/h.To ensure safety,the train is controlled by an advanced computer system.Scientists are also developing new fuels and engines that will let us travel without worrying about whether we are polluting the environment.BUSINESSIt will not be business as usual in the future.Many companies and consumers have already begun reforming the way they do business.E-commerce,or business done on the Internet is becoming more and more popular as people discover the advantages of online shopping.The Internet also makes it easier for companies to keep in touch with customers and companies in other countries.For people who do go out to shops,shopping is no longer just a necessity.It has become a form of entertainment.Instead of searching a crowded store for basic goods,such as food and clothes,people want to go to a pleasant mall and combine shopping with fun.25.Which of the following is not the

believe it is about a few dozen years from now.Of course,things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon,many hotels have been built.The hotels are air-conditioned,naturally.In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon,every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of the young and the old.What are people eating now?People are still eating food.They havent yet started to use supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.They may some day.But many foods now come in pill form,and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,most of our planets surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.Farming,of course,is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者).You see,as the number of people increases,the number of animals decreases.Therefore,the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds,and we know the causes and cure of diseases and pain,and it is possible to get rid of diseases.No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.32.According to the passage,what will be on the moon in about A.D.2060?A.Many tourists.B.Many other animals.C.Many plants.D.A sea.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第二段内容,2060年时,人们每天都可以到月球旅游,月球上就有许多游客。故选A项。33.What will people eat then according to the passage?A.Biscuits in pill form.B.Foods in pill form.C.Foods in water form.D.Foods in gas form.答案B解析细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“Butmanyfoodsnowcomeinpillform,andthefoodthatgoesintothepillcontinuestocomemainlyfromgreenplants.”可得出答案。34.The passage tells us that in 2060, on the earth than now.A.there are fewer populationB.there are more pestsC.there is less waterD.the crops are getting better答案D解析推理判断题。由第四段可知,到2060年,人口将更多,沙漠用水浇灌,庄稼不再被害虫毁坏,收成总是很好。35.Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?A.Because they dont eat meat.B.Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.C.Because the number of animals decreases.D.Because all the animals have died of diseases.答案C解析细节判断题。根据倒数第二段的第二、三句话可知答案。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黑龙江双鸭山一中月考)With the development of science and technology,our daily life is becoming more
