From mathematical calculations to mailing lists, computers have become more efficient, in more areas, than their human colleaguesAlthough some argue that computers will never replace people, others are concerned about the advanced robotic technology. Indeed, it is likely that the use of more and better robots will someday result in fewer jobs for humans. Obviously, robots can replace humans in certain less-skilled jobs now. They might, for example, be able to perform routine tasks. Some robots work is almost equal to that of humans. In fact, some computers are so well-designed that it will soon be possible to talk with them almost endlessly before realizing that they are not humans. A computer even won the game show not long ago. These computers are clearly capable of more than simple tasks.However, some say that it is morally wrong to replace human beings with robots. They argue that it is unethical to deprive real people of their jobs, merely for the sake of efficiency.Increasingly, employers will need to decide when and how to replace human workers with computers. This decision is not easy, and a robot will not always be the right answer.1. What will possibly happen if robots are used in different kinds of areas?(There will be fewer jobs for humans).2. Do you think human beings will be replaced by robots in certain less skilled jobs in the future?回答问题1评分标准（1分）1.0：能针对问题作出清楚全面、正确合理的应答，语音正确，语言结构和用词符合交际要求。0.5：能针对问题给出部分答案，不够完整合理，语音基本正确，有个别语言结构或用词错误。0.0：没有答题或答题内容与问题无关。回答问题2评分标准（1.5分）1.5：能连贯流畅地表达思想，内容切题，语言正确。1.0：基本能连贯完整地表达思想，能针对题目谈话。0.5：能讲述几句，但内容不连贯，与题目的关系不大，语言结构或用词错误严重，使人理解困难。0.0：没有答题或内容与题目无关。2016学年度浦东新区高三英语笔试试卷（9月份月考）第 卷（共110分）I.

Researchers said that the drug (22)_ (take) as a tablet twice a day could soon become the first medicine given to Alzheimers patients to keep the disease at bay for as long as possible.The final-stage trial had at first appeared (23)_ (be) a failure as the drug did not work in patients who were taking other dementia（痴呆，精神错乱） medicines. (24)_, among the 15 per cent of 891 patients not taking other medicines, the drug appeared to have remarkable effects.These patients say no drop-off in their reasoning and memory skills over 18 months, nor in their ability to carry out everyday tasks. (25)_, key areas of their brain shrank a third less than other patients in the trial, researchers told the Alzheimers Association International Conference in Toronto.“There is a pattern of disease modification here,” Serge Gauthier, of McGill University, (26)_ presented the results, said. “This is the first time it (27)_ (happen) in our field that a drug reduces the rate of brain atrophy（萎缩）.”At present patients are prescribed drugs such as donepezil, which help to control symptoms for a time but do not stop worsening damage to the brain.Doctor Gauthier said it was a surprise (28)_ other dementia drugs appeared to cancel out the effects of the new drug, called LMTX or LMTM, but (29) _that just as cancer patients were given some medicines initially and then switched (30)_ _ those stopped working, so Alzheimers patients could be given LMTX as a first-choice drug.“Im excited about the promise of LMTX,” he said.Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Write your answers on your answer sheet.A. investment B. curriculum C. gains D. involved E. scale F. matters G. push H. positive I. weigh J. copied K. attentionPreschool is getting a lot of attention these days. President Obama and mayors across the country are touting（标榜）preschool as an important investment in the economy.As policymakers _31_ the costs and benefits of “preschool for all,” theyre trying to figure out what actually works in the classroom.School officials say the system of intensive coaching is a key to classroom success. Boston uses coaches for teachers as part of its larger _32_ for preschool quality. The district has installed a strict _33_ and requires teachers to get masters degrees.Academics have known for some time that quality _34_, but much of the research has focused on small-scale programs. The Boston program is different.Last year, a Harvard University study found big _35_ in math and vocabulary in Boston after the program, where the preschool system spans 68 schools.“That you can develop high quality across 68 schools was not obvious,” says Harvard economist and education professor Richard Murnane, who was not _36_ in the study. “We can do better in preparing poor children for school, and it can be done at considerable _37_.”But not everyone is sold. Some preschool research shows academic gains disappearing by third grade. Critics say a program without staying power is hardly worth a big public _38_.“So we just dont know about Boston, whether the _39_ effects that are talked about at the end of the pre-K year are going to be there at the end of first grade, second grade or third grade,” Whitehurst says. “Without knowing that, its hard to make a decision about whether this is a great program that ought to be _40_ in other places.”But policymakers around the country arent waiting for a long-term study. Theyre coming to Boston to see the preschool program up close.III. Reading Comprehension （45%）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.We have been putting smart women on the couch for 40 years without making full use of their talent. Today the portion of top jobs that go to women is still _41_ low. Why arent more women running things in America? It isnt for lack of ambition or qualifications. The real _42_ to getting more women to the top is the difficult issue of time commitment: Todays top jobs in major organizations _43_ 60-plus hours of work a week. Isnt it too much?But for businesses and reformers are serious about making their companies _44_ for the large number of American talented women, here are three ways to handle it.Re-think time. We can break away from the belief that high-level work can be done only by people who work extra time. Maybe working time can be _45_ by setting the right amount of work that needs to get done. Senior roles should actually be easier to adapt in this way because highly paid people have the desire to give up some _46_ in order to work less.Availability matters. Its important to differ between availability and absolute time commitment. Many professional women would _47_ agree to check email seven days a week and come to office, _48_, for intense project so long as over the course of a year, the time devoted to work is more _49_. Managers need to know that 24/7 availability is not the same thing as a 24/7 workload. Quality is the goal, not quantity. Leaders need to create a _50_ in which talented people are judged not by the quantity of their work, but by the quality of their _51_. One who works 20 hours a week and who delivers exceptional results on a pro rata（摊派）basis should be qualified for _52_ and viewed as a top performer. “Devotion” may help talented women who can live with the way that top jobs require today and if thats their _53_, give more power to them. But only a small percentage of women will choose this route. Until the rest of us get serious about _54_ the present way that work gets done in American corporations, we can only complain about the _55_ of it all while changing almost nothing. 41. A. shockinglyB. possiblyC. relativelyD. consequently42. A. desire B. barrierC. challengeD. solution 43. A. promiseB. suggestC. track D. demand44. A. cautiousB. carefulC. nervousD. Hopeful45. A. shortenedB. adjustedC. lengthenedD. Unchanged46. A. timeB. incomeC. freedomD. promotion47. A. happilyB. reluctantlyC. hesitantlyD. rapidly48.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Even as a child, the best-known North American woman painter, Frida Kahlo exhibited an independent, rebellious spirit and lack of restraint (克制) that often got her into trouble. At the age of six, however, Fridas life changed dramatically. She got polio and was confined to her bed for nine months. The disease left Fridas right leg shorter and thinner than her left, and when she had recovered enough to return to school, she walked with a limp. She was often teased by her playmates, and although that was emotionally painful for her, she compensated by being outgoing and gained a reputation as a “character” .A turning point occurred in Fridas life in September, when she was involved in
