专题03 computers（测试时间：60分钟 满分：100分）评卷人得分i. 阅读理解（40）a american high school students are terrible writers, and one education reform group thinks it has an answer: robots. or, more accurately, robot-readers-computers programmed to scan student essays and spit out a grade. mark shermis, professor of the college of education at the university of akron, is helping to hold a contest, set up by the william and flora hewlett foundation ( wfhf), which promises $ 100,000 in prize money to programmers who write the best automated grading software. if youre a high school teacher and you give a writing task, youre walking home with 150 essays, shermis said, youre going to need some help. automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s, but computers back then were not up to the task. in the late 1990s, as technology improved, several textbook and testing companies jumped into the field. today, computers are used to grade essays on south dakotas student writing assessments and a handful of other exams, including the toefl test of english fluency, taken by foreign students. the hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as english teachers- only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. automated essay scoring is objective, shermis said, and it can be done immediately. if students finish an essay at l0 pm, they get a result at 10 :00 pm . take, for instance, the intelligent essay assessor, a web-based tool marketed by pearson education, inc. within seconds it can analyze an essay for spelling, grammar, organization, and help students to make revisions. the program scans for key words and analyzes semantic (语义的) patterns , and pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text much the same as a human reader.1 the text is written to introduce_.a. hewlett contestb. education reform in americac. robot-readersd. william and flora hewlett foundation2what does the underlined phrase spit out in paragraph i probably mean?a. analyze. b. organize.c. give. d. check.3 what does paragraph 4 focus on?a. the application of automated essay scoring.b. the advantages of automated essay scoring.c. the prize of hewlett contest.d. teachers opinions about hewlett contest.【答案】1c2c3b考点：科技类短文阅读b laptop computers are popular all over the worldpeople use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotelsthese laptops

the twenty-first century will be different from life today. between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?the population is growing fast. there will be many people in world and most of them will live longer than people live now. computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. and computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. people will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching tv and travel. traveling will be much cheaper and easier. and many more people will go to other countries for holidays.there will be changes in our food, too. more land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. maybe no one will eat it every day. instead they will eat more fruit and vegetable. maybe people will be healthier. work in the future will be

another. choice, we are given to believe, is a right. but for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. and for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products. the endless choice gives birth to anxiety in peoples life. buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. recent studies in england have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. more difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors. it is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. advances in design and production help quicken the process. products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. the typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. this indeed makes selection a problem. gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing: no choice, no anxiety.15 what does the author try to argue in paragraph 1?a. the exercise of rights is a luxury.b. the practice of choice is difficult.c. the right of choice is given but at a price.d. choice and right exist at the same time.16why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?a. professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.b. people are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.c. shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.d. companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.17by using computers as an example, the author wants to prove _.a. advanced products meet the needs of peopleb. products of the latest design flood the marketc. competitions are fierce in high-tech industryd. everyday goods need to be replaced often18what is the passage mainly about?a. the variety of choices in modern society.b. the opinions on peoples right in different countries.c. the problem about the availability of everyday goods.d. the helplessness in purchasing decisions.【答案】12b13c14b15d【解析】试题分析：这是一篇议论文，以选择作为切入点，论述了关于购买商品时很难做出选择，而且也不一定是对的，特别是针对电子产品。15b 细节理解加推理判断题。根据首段出现的转折but for a good many people in the world,choice is a luxury,something wonderful but hard to get,not a right以及后文可知，作者的论点是做出选择很困难，很容易出错。16c 细节理解题。根据第二段easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people ,ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buy an unsuitable item that is not really wanted.可知购物者容易在琳琅满目的商品前无助，变焦躁，并且易做出错误的选择，因此应选择c项。17b 推理判断题。根据买电脑的例子，作者论述了电子产品更新换代非常快，几乎都是最新研发的,因此最新的商品到处都是，而其他选项都是错的或未涉及，故选择b项。18d 主旨大意题。说明文要抓住首尾段，根据no choice,no anxiety可知主要论述的是购物时的选择困难，因此应选择d项。考点：考查议论文本阅读e. 阅读填空根据短文内容，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。 getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their
