the robot asked a participant, who smiled and responded, yes, i often did that when i was a child.”although several participants noted the robots weight, kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience as strange or funny. i guess people enjoy new technologies, he said.just like a human partner, kandas bot isnt perfect. its not able to go for walks in heavy rain and, while the robot can make expressions, it cant really hold a conversation, about which kanda is most worried. despite its limits, kanda was comforted by the bots presence. i felt a kind of sense of being with someone, he said, particularly when it spoke. 28. why does kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner?a. because he wants someone to accompany him while walking.b. because he has never developed a robot like a parrot.c. because his family are unwilling to walk with him.d. because he is crazy about developing robots.29. what characteristic does the robot have?a. it can speak and see. b. it can walk like a human being.c. it can communicate with people freely. d. it is much more humorous than a real person.30. what is necessary for the robot to function?a.a small size. b.a boxy shape. c.a human partner. d.a speech software.31. what is kanda most likely to do about his robot next?a. to make it more convenient to carry. b. to improve its conversational skills.c. to enable it to walk in heavy rain. d. to better its sound systemdtechnology activists are appealing to tech companies and their leaders to build a future in which the effect of machinery on humans is lessened. some workers have long feared that machines are coming to take away their jobs.tim oreilly，head of a technology advisory service，says it is important for people and machines to work together. “we have to think about not using technology to replace people. instead，we can make robots do something that was previously impossible for humans.” with more skills, people can work with machines. for example, the ridesharing companies lyft and uber use software designed to help human drivers. most large airplanes are now flown by computers. but passengers will always want a human pilot on the plane.jonathan brewer is a trainer at the network startup resource center. he emphasizes that technology experts must consider how their inventions can help people. they must consider how sensors can warn people an hour before a mudslide takes place. there are other lifesaving devices that cost very little money. whats more, there is not much reason to have machines do difficult work if people enjoy the results of their labor.in 2015 the consulting service mckinsey & company said machines will someday perform 45 percent of the jobs humans now do. that may be why brewer supports the idea of universal guaranteed earnings. under the plan, a small monthly payment would be made to each person, even if they do not work. however, brewer hopes that people and machines will continue to cooperate. he says there is technology that tells city workers when street lights need to be repaired or when trash cans are full. that means the workers do not need to examine the lights or cans, as many now do. but he said when the technology tells when repairs are needed or containers must be emptied, humans must still provide the service. many people support technology and the changes it will bring. but many are also starting to think about its effect on humans and how to help people live in a world where machines do so much work.32. what situation do humans have to face nowadays?amachinery is having an increasingly great influence.bsome workers job opportunities have been robbed of. csome machines are out of control.dthe leaders in big companies never consider their employees future.33. what can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph?adrivers are not so busy as before with the help of lyft.bthe software designed by uber users is very practical. crobots can undertake some extremely difficult tasks for us.dpilots are not needed any more on planes flown by computers.34. what would some jobless people be offered according to brewer? aspecial courses. bsome money that can cover their basic life. cprofessional training. danother job opportunity.35. what is the writers purpose of writing the passage?ato warn us of the threats that machinery will bring us.bto inform us of the inconvenience that machinery has caused.cto introduce the way to solve the problem related to machinery.dto arouse peoples concern about the development of technology.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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to write an effective summarythe goal of writing a summary of an article, a chapter, or a book is to offer as accurately as possible the full sense of the original, but in a more condensed(缩减的) form. a summary restates the authors main point, purpose, and supporting details in your own words._36_read the passage carefully.determine its structure. identify the authors purpose in writing. after you finish reading, write down in one sentence the point that is made about the subject. _37_reread, label and underline.once you clearly understand the writers major point (or purpose) for writing, read the article again, underline the major points supporting the thesis(论点). _38_ in addition, underline key transitional(过渡的) expressions which show how parts are connected. leave out specific details, examples, descriptions, and unnecessary explanations.write, revise and edit.now begin writing your summary. _39_then write your summary, leaving out anything unimportant, repetition, ignoring minor details, or generalizing them, using as few words as possible to convey the main ideas and struggling for overall coherence(连贯) through appropriate transitions. conclude with a final statement reflecting the significance of the article._40_ after youve completed a draft, read your summary and check for accuracy. keep in mind that a summary should generally be no more than one-fourth the length of the original.edit your summary. correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, particularly those common in your writing. write a clean draft and proofread for copying errors.a. revise your summary. b. do not insert your own opinions or thoughts.c. a suitable thesis may already be in the original passage.d. writing an effective summary requires you to focus on the series of steps.e. in other words, write down a thesis statement which expresses the central idea.f. these should be words or phrases here and there rather than complete sentences.g. start with a sentence naming the writer and article title and stating the essays main idea. 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。when i was in hospital and had just given birth to my first child, a lady named margot frank used to come in to _41_ and dust. i would greet enthusiastically, but she would _42_ answer.i did this _43_， but it seemed that i was _44_ a oneman show time and again. i thought she might be _45_. but i was told she was mute and had been so for a long time because she had been in a concentration camp and that her younger sister anne frank died of typhus(斑疹伤寒症) within days of her _46_. she had _47_ but some children threw “crackers” at her window, letting off very loud “bangs”， and she never spoke from that day on.on the _48_ i was going home, i asked her if she would be my friend. i still didnt get any answer. i left her some _49_ and told the staff to give them to her. i left the hospital with my husband and newborn child.then i realized i had forgotten to ask the obstetricians(产科医生) something. i _50_ with my baby and husband. they said the lady had _51_ she wanted to see me. she hugged me very tightly. she just couldnt help but sob. the hospital was in silence. not a _52_ passed her lips.two years later i heard a conversation on the radio which stopped me in my tracks! they were talking about that _53_ and the magazines and the events._54_ to me, she _55_ for the first time later that day in all those years. they said the psychiatrist said it was the first time she had_56_ someone, and that broke her _57_i heard that conversation on the radio, and my husband did，_58_. i thought it was _59_， and i was especially _60_ to know that this lady could speak again. 41.a.sweep bfix cgreet dsleep 42.a.warmly balways cnever dcoldly43. a. immediately b. naturally c. unexpectedly d. repeatedly44.a.taking on bputting on ccarrying on dtrying on45.a.cautious bdeaf cblind dfriendly46.a.suffering bdeath cdeafness dbirth47.a.realized breflected cresponded drecovered48.a.bus bsubway cday dway49.a.candies breadings cclothes dfruits50.a.ran away bwent bac
