【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了社交機(jī)器人將以一種更人性化的方式把技術(shù)帶到日常世界。

【1】考查固定搭配。句意：未來幾年，社交機(jī)器人將變得更加普遍，無論是在家里還是在工作場(chǎng)所。根據(jù)or the workplace，可知此處用either，固定短語either...or...“要么……要么……，不是……就是……”。故填either。

【2】考查連接詞。句意：今天的家用機(jī)器人做著普通的家務(wù)，社交機(jī)器人將更像是伙伴而不僅僅是工具。根據(jù)social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools可知，前后句為對(duì)比轉(zhuǎn)折句，連詞while“雖然，在……期間，（對(duì)比兩件事物）……而”符合題意。故填while。

【3】考查不定式。句意：這使它們能夠更適當(dāng)?shù)仨憫?yīng)用戶。根據(jù)allows them可知，此處用不定式，短語allow sb. to do sth.“允許某人做某事”。故填to respond。

【4】考查過去分詞作定語。句意：Jibo機(jī)器人將于今年遲點(diǎn)上市，它被設(shè)計(jì)成一個(gè)個(gè)性化的助手。arrange與the Jibo robot是邏輯動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，應(yīng)使用過去分詞作定語。故填arranged。

【5】考查賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。句意：它的反應(yīng)基于它對(duì)家庭中每個(gè)人的了解。此處是what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，what在句子作learn的賓語。故填what。

【6】考查介詞。句意：它們?cè)趶慕逃结t(yī)療保健的各個(gè)領(lǐng)域都有潛在的應(yīng)用，并且已經(jīng)在這些領(lǐng)域找到了自己的出路。根據(jù)everything from education to health care可知，用介詞in表示“在……方面”。故填in。

【7】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：Fellow Robots是一家將社交機(jī)器人推向市場(chǎng)的公司。此句已有謂語動(dòng)詞is，此處要用非謂語動(dòng)詞，且one company與動(dòng)詞bring是主謂關(guān)系，應(yīng)使用現(xiàn)在分詞形式。故填bringing。

【8】考查固定句式。句意：機(jī)器人與人類互動(dòng)越多，它的學(xué)習(xí)能力就越強(qiáng)。根據(jù)The more interaction the robot has with humans,可知用the more。句式The+比較級(jí)…, the+比較級(jí)…“越……越……”。故填the more。

【9】考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)。句意：但和其他社交機(jī)器人一樣，Oshbot并不是為了取代工人，而是為了和其他員工一起工作。短語be not intended to“不打算……”，主語為Oshbot，時(shí)態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。故填is not intended。

第8小題考查了常用句式The+比較級(jí)…, the+比較級(jí)…“越……越……”

1. The+比較級(jí)…, the+比較級(jí)…句型常表示“越……，就越……”，是一個(gè)復(fù)合句（表示一方的程度隨著另一方的變化而變化，其中的兩個(gè)the 都是副詞，而不是冠詞），其中前面的句子是狀語從句，后面的句子是主句。the用在形容詞或副詞的比較級(jí)前。例如：

①The more he gets, the more he want. 他越來越貪。

②The more she learns, the more she wants to learn. 他越學(xué)越想學(xué)。

2. The+比較級(jí)…, the+比較級(jí)…句型，主從句的時(shí)態(tài)常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或一般過去時(shí)。例如：

①The higher the ground is, the thinner air become. 離地面越高，空氣就越稀薄。

②The harder he worked, the more he got. 他工作越努力，得到的就越多。

【題目】 We’ve learned bees can understand zero and do basic math. Now a new study shows their tiny insect brains may be able to connect symbols to numbers.

Adrian Dyer, a professor in the RMIT University, said the research showed brains far smaller than humans’ could know numbers. “Humans learn numbers as children, but being able to recognize what numbers really represent needs a certain level of cognitive (認(rèn)知的) ability,” Dyer says, “Studies have shown primates (靈長類動(dòng)物) and birds have this ability, but this is the first time we’ve seen this in insects.”

It’s important for humans to do the research. There are 86 billion neurons (神經(jīng)元) in humans’ brains. Bees only have less than a million. If bees have the ability to learn something difficult to understand like human-made symbolic language, this will open up exciting new paths for future communication between humans and animals.

Studies have shown that a number of animals have been able to learn symbols of numbers, including parrots and monkeys. Monkeys were taught Arabic numbers and could order them correctly. An African grey parrot called Alex was able to learn numbers and could do simple calculation.

Understanding how tiny brains of bees manage information opens paths to technology, which is good for the future design of computing (計(jì)算) systems.

【1】What does Adrian Dyer say about the research?

A.The finding of the research is first seen in insects.

B.Humans’ brains are the biggest on the earth.

C.Birds can be as clever as primates.

D.Bees are cleverer than birds.

【2】What do we know about the research?

A.Humans may find a new path to communicate with animals.

B.Bees have more neurons than monkeys.

C.Insects have the ability to communicate with humans.

D.Bees can solve basic math problems.

【3】Who is Alex according to the text?

A.A child.B.A monkey.

C.An expert.D.A parrot.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Bees can communicate with other animals.

B.Bees can attach symbols to numbers.

C.Some animals can do math problems.

D.Bees can make communication with humans.

【題目】 This was an ordinary day, nothing special. Mike was walking on the street when he returned to the shop on the corner. He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt happy to see that the pair of shoes he wanted very much was still there. He looked down at his old shoes, and he felt sorry for himself, because he wanted very much to own them for his coming birthday.

Sadly, the boy walked away, deep in thought — how to tell his mother about it. He knew very well his mother had very little money. He decided not to go home at once, because he looked sad and his mother would notice it. So he went to the park and sat on the grass. There he saw a boy moving a wheelchair with his hands. Mike looked at him and was surprised to see that the boy had no feet. He looked at his own feet. “It’s much better to be without shoes than without feet.” he thought. There was no reason for him to feel so sorry and sad. So he went away with smile, thinking that he was much luckier and happier.
