However, this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals. Now, thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures, but also uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries.Built by MITs Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the snow-white remote-controlled robot closely emulates real fish, complete with a flexible tail and two fins. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to observe the oceans, SoFi solves many of the issues that have hindered (妨碍)the usefulness of previous robots.AUVs traditionally have had to be tied to a boat because radio frequency communications do not work well underwater. To solve the problem, CSAIL director Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves which can travel greater distances, allowing drivers using a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away. To ensure SoFi can freely move around the ocean, a pump moves water from one balloon-like structure to the other through its soft rubber tail, while a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean, unhindered by propellers (螺旋桨).During test dives in Fijis Rainbow Reef, SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking high-resolution photos and videos. Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robo- fish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence.While SoFi currently only records videos, future versions will include sensors. For us, this fish is magical, says Rus. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about.8. Why was SoFi created?A. To protect fish from being caught.B. To stop oceans from being polluted.C. To learn about the underwater worldD. To solve the issues AUVs have found.9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “emulates” in Paragraph2?A. Feeds.B. Catches.C. Protects.D. Imitates.10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The development of AUVs.B. Working principles of SoFi.C. How AUVs are used underwater.D. SoFis contribution to fish protection.11. What is the main advantage of SoFi?A. It will not scare real fish.B. It can record videos.C. It is equipped with sensors.D. It cannot be seen by real fish.【答案】8. C9. D10. B11. A【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家成功地研制出机器鱼SoFi，使得研究人员开始能够密切关注海洋生物。8. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“it is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely observe our sea life(对于研究人员来说，密切观察我们的海洋生物变得越来越重要。) 和thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures , but also uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries.”(现在，借助机器鱼SoFi，研究人员不仅可以密切关注这些生物，而且还可以解开使我们困惑了几个世纪的海底秘密。)可以推知，研发机器鱼SoFi是为了帮助科学家近距离观察海洋生物，了解海底奥秘。故选C。9. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词后面的“complete with a flexible tail and two fins”(配有灵活的尾巴和两个“鳍”)可知，机器鱼SoFi是“模拟”真实的鱼类而制作的。因此划线词的意思是“模仿、模拟”。故选D。10. 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“To ensure SoFi can freely move around the ocean, a pump moves water from one balloon-like structure to the other through its soft rubber tail, while a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean, unhindered by propellers (螺旋桨).”可知，为了确保SoFi可以在海洋中自由移动，泵将水通过其柔软的橡胶尾巴从一个气球状结构移动到另一个气球状结构，而装有电池的控制器控制SoFi通过海洋而不被螺旋桨阻止。因此，本主要介绍了为了确保SoFi可以在海洋中自由移动采取的相应的措施，由此可知道机器鱼SoFi是如何在水下工作的，也就是B项（机器鱼SoFi的工作原理）。故选B。11. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robo-fish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence. (更重要的是，机器鱼SoFi能够靠近鱼类拍摄照片和视频而不会引起任何干扰。研究人员说，有时候出于好奇这些鱼会和看起来奇怪的机器鱼一起游泳，而在其他时候，它们似乎完全不知道它的存在。)可知，在机器鱼SoFi工作的时候，它不会打扰到鱼类的活动即不会吓走真正的鱼，这是它的主要优势。故选A。DEven a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say.“It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial,” said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research.Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable.For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message “sit less and move more and more often”.However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time.Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study.“This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits,” he said.12. Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do?A. lying on the sofa reading.B. Doing a little gentle gardening.C. Going out to hike with friends.D. Playing basketball sometimes.13. What can we know about the research?A. It lasted about 8 years.B. The researchers admitted they used fake data.C. The participants didnt include younger people.D. Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity14. What is the authors attitude towards the researchers conclusion?A. DoubtfulB. CriticalC. SupportiveD. Neutral15. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reinforces” in the last paragraph?A. HighlightsB. ConveysC. ExcludesD. Denies【答案】12. B13. C14. D15. A【语篇解读】本文是说明文。研究发现轻微活动能帮助预防老年人过早死亡，对老年人健康很有好处。12. 推理判断题。根据第二段Ulf Ekelund 建议的It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial.对于无法做中等强度活动的老年人来说，轻度活动对健康很有好处。四个选项中Doing a little gentle gardening属于轻度活动，其他不是。故选B。13. 细节理解题。根据第三段Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years.可知参与调查的36,000人平均年龄是63岁，由此可知不包括年轻人。故选C。14. 推理判断题。根据文中researchers say , said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said, he said.等内容可知，作者只是陈述了研究结果和专家观点，并未掺杂自己观点，作者对研究结果是中立观点，不带感情色彩。故选D。15. 猜测词义题。第一段Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, 陈述研究结果，小的轻微活动能帮助预防老年人过早死亡。最后一段This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits.提到的 getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits即让最不爱运动的人多做一点点体育活动，对公众健康也有重要的好处，这是对研究结果的进一步强调，由此推知画线词语表示“强调”，与Highlights同义，故选A。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。What does it mean to be intelligent?It seems that everyone goes to college now, whether or not they find themselves interested in studying something long term. Even though I know there are different ways to be intelligent, I struggle due to societys influence, which maintains that intelligence is quantifiable (可量化的) and that academic intelligence is one and the only.Where do IQ tests come into play when one considers intelligence? Do they fall closest to priority when considering this unquantifiable concept? Intelligence simply cannot be reduced to an IQ test, which are not effective. While designed to measure “intelligence,” all they measure are biological developments that can change as one grows. 16. There are many factors that can indicate an intelligent being, such as academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence. For instance, if a student realizes that they havent studied appropriately for an exam, he or she would have the ability to acknowledge that, and then make revisions to his or her study habits accordingly. 17. Emotional intelligence is the intelligence that fosters self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-improvement.18.
