【題目】Wow,ladies! That is all I can say, I write this article with mixed emotions. Having Aiko the female robot around the house to help out could be either a blessing or a nightmare. If you are a working mother like me, then the idea of having a helping hand around would be a good thing. We working mothers dream about going home to find dinner on the table, a clean house and everything ready for the next day,that would be the perfect world.

Yet as always we women worry about being replaced,me included. Aiko has been created with special sensors (感應器) underneath her immediate“skin”cover. I believe her creator, Le Trung,has other motives(動機). Of course, he says it's not true. She doesn't complain, argue or talk back. She can carry on a conversation and help you with your math homework. She can tell you the weather outside and can speak in English and Japanese. She doesn't require any sleep nor does she complain about a headache or being tired. She can serve tea and give back massages. I'm sure some men out there would view her as the perfect woman or even“superwoman”. So with good reason I say having Aiko around could prove to be bad. As a woman and a wife,I worry about being replaced or even being compared to Aiko. How can you compete with someone or something so perfect like that?

Scientists have been trying to invent robots for a long time. There are many movies and books out there about robots. It looks like those crazy scientists are closer than we thought. Ladies, I think we are fighting a losing battle. So instead of trying to fight it,I guess we have no choice but to join them. Now where is my male robot? Hmm...I want him to look exactly like my Ken Barbie doll. Okay?

1Le Trung created Aiko mainly to ________.

A. keep people company

B. teach people foreign languages

C. help children with their homework

D. help working mothers do housework

2What can we learn about Aiko from the second paragraph?

A. She is poorly designed.

B. She is perfectly made.

C. She works better than expectations.

D. She is especially made for housewives.

3Why does the author think having Aiko around could prove to be bad?

A. The robot could replace her.

B. The robot can do more than she does.

C. The robot makes a mess in the house.

D. The robot can speak human language.

4What could be the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To introduce a robot.

B. To argue against robotmaking.

C. To show her fights with robots.

D. To describe the daily life of a working mother.

【答案】

1D

2B

3A

4A

【解析】作者從一個職業(yè)女性的角度描述了科學家研制的一款機器人Aiko,她能夠默默工作,從不抱怨。

1D推理判斷題。從文章第一段和第二段敘述的情況可知,Aiko主要幫助職業(yè)母親做一切家務。故選D。

2B推理判斷題。分析文章第二段作者對Aiko的描述可知,她能夠做一切家務,還能說兩種語言,而且任勞任怨,由此可知,Aiko十分完美。故選B。

3A細節(jié)理解題。從文章第二段“As a woman and a wife,I worry about being replaced or ever being compared to Aiko.”可知,作者擔心自己會被機器人取代,因此感覺機器人的存在很糟糕。故選A。

4A寫作意圖題。綜合全文,文章作者描述了機器人Aiko的奇妙功能,因此文章的主要目的就是介紹機器人。故選A。

When I first came to China, there were many things I do not understand. Now, I have a better understanding of Chinese culture and find it very interested.

Bargaining is a Chinese custom what amazes me. In the USA, prices are set and you cannot ask for a lower price, when in China, you are expected to bargain with the salespersons in some small stores and tourist spots. I once asked my Chinese friends to teach me how to bargain. They were told me that I should ask for 40 percent or 50 percent off the price. Then, they had better tell the salesperson that the same item is cheaper at another store. If the salesperson does not agree to my price, I should pretend leave and he might ask me to come back and sell me the item for a lower price. But this skill doesn’t work effective every time. In my opinion, bargaining are a skill that I have to practise if I continue to live in China.

This is a unforgettable experience for me, which is beneficial to me.

Dear Mr. Brown,

I am writing to thank you with your kind help. Before you came to teach us, I had not interest in English. My pronunciation was terribly. I could only speak a few words. But one and a half year later, I now think English fun to learn. I got a lot from your encouraging words. I would always remember what you said. “If you try to, you can be No.1” I hope you’ll have a pleasant journey home but will come to China again sometimes in the future, I will write again and send you photos we take together.
