12、部分放进水里时，它看上去就好像断了一样。A BIOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOVIsaac Asimov was an American scientist and writer who wrote around 480 books that included mystery stories, science and history books, and even books about the Holy Bible and Shakespeare. But he is best known for his science fiction stories. Asimov had
13、both an extraordinary imagination that gave him the ability to explore future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for explanations of everything, in the present and the past.Asimovs life began in Russia, where he was born on 2 January, 1920. It ended in New York on 6 April, 1992, when
14、he died as a result of an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion nine years earlier.When Asimov was three, he moved with his parents and his oneyearold sister to New York City. There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so years. At the age of nine, when
15、 his mother was pregnant with her third child, Asimov started working parttime in the store. He helped out through his school and university years until 1942, a year after he had gained a masters degree in chemistry. In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a junior chemist and w
16、orked there for three years. In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry. The next year he became a biochemistry teacher at Boston University School of Medicine. In 1958 he gave up teaching to become a fulltime writer.It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious. He had
17、 told a friend two chapters of a story he had written. The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book. This really surprised Asimov and from that moment, he started to take himself seriously as a writer. Asimov began having stories published in science fiction magazines in 1939. In 1950 he
18、published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book.Throughout his life, Asimov received many awards, both for his science fiction books and his science books. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (19511953), three novels a
19、bout the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future. It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future. These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical framework which was designed to show how ideas and thinking may develop in the future. H
20、e is also well known for his collection of short stories, I, Robot (1950), in which he developed a set of three “laws” for robots. For example, the first law states that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured. Some of his ideas about robots later influenced other writers an
21、d even scientists researching into artificial intelligence.Asimov was married twice. He married his first wife in 1942 and had a son and a daughter. Their marriage lasted 31 years. Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife.艾萨克阿西莫夫传艾萨克阿西莫夫是一位美国科学
22、家兼作家，他写过大约480本书，包括侦探小说、科学和历史方面的书，甚至还写过有关圣经及莎士比亚的书。但是他以他的科幻故事而闻名。阿西莫夫不仅有着超凡的想象力，这种想象力给他探索未来世界的能力，而且还有着惊人的智慧，使他找出对现在和过去的各种事物的解释。阿西莫夫的一生是从俄罗斯开始的，他生于1920年1月2日。阿西莫夫的一生是1992年4月6日在纽约结束的。他是因为在9年前的一次输血中感染了艾滋病病毒而去世的。阿西莫夫三岁的时候，就随同他的父母和他一岁的妹妹一起搬到了纽约。在那儿，他的父母买下了一家糖果店，后来他们一直经营了大约40年。阿西莫夫九岁的时候，他的母亲怀了第三个孩子，阿西莫夫就开始在
23、糖果店里做兼职工作。他读中学和读大学的那段时期都在帮助(家里)摆脱困境，直到1942年，也就是他获得化学硕士学位的一年以后。在1942年他在费城海军造船厂里任初级化学师，并在那里工作了三年。在1948年，他获得化学博士学位。第二年他在波士顿大学的医学院任生化教师。1958年他放弃了教学工作，成为一名全职作家。阿西莫夫11岁时，他的写作才华就已经显露出来了。他把他写的故事中的两个章节讲给他的一个朋友。这个朋友以为他是在复述某本书上的一个故事。这使阿西莫夫真的很惊讶，从那时起，他就开始认真地把自己当成一名作家了。1939年，阿西莫夫开始在科幻小说杂志上发表文章。1950年他出版了他的第一部小说，1
24、953年出版了他的第一部科学书籍。在他的一生中，阿西莫夫多次获奖，既有科幻小说奖，也有科学书籍奖。在他那些最有名的科幻著作中，有一部获奖作品叫作基地三部曲(19511953年)，由三本关于未来银河系中一个伟大帝国的灭亡与复兴的小说组成。它大致是以罗马帝国的没落为基础，但讲的是关于未来的事。这些书出名是因为阿西莫夫提出了一个理论框架，用以阐述各种想法在未来可能会如何发展。他的短篇小说集我，机器人(1950年)也是享有盛名的，在这本书里他提出机器人的三条“规则”。举例来说，第一条规则就是声明机器人不得伤害人类，也不能允许人类受到伤害。他的那些有关机器人的思想后来影响了其他作家，甚至那些从事人工智能
25、研究的科学家们。阿西莫夫结过两次婚。他于1942年同他的第一任妻子结婚，生有一儿一女。他们的婚姻持续了31年。1973年他离婚后不久，阿西莫夫又结婚了，但是他与第二任妻子没有生育儿女。1He felt happy when his boss stated that he could set aside some time for exercise.(P13)当老板说他可以抽出些时间来锻炼身体时，他感到很高兴。set aside将放在一边；为节省或保留(钱或时间)set down记下；放下set off 动身；引爆；引起set up 竖立；建立；张贴set out (to do sth.) 出发

61、地的人。meet“遇见”符合语境。.阅读理解ARobots performing tasks according to a predetermined set of instructions are nothing new. But robots able to learn how to cook by watching videos are a completely different approach, which is conducted by a group of researchers at the University of Maryland.If you have posted
62、a video of your favorite recipe on the popular website YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot. University of Marylands professor Yiannis Aloimonos, leader of the group, said “There exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize_on.”“At present
63、, the videos are fed electronically，” said research scientist Cornelia Fermuller.“Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking，”she explained.“And, as the robot advances, it reacts to good quality videos. And it will react to even lower quality homemade videos.”So
64、far, the robot named Julia can make a simple salad by breaking each task into basic parts, such as grasping a spoon, bringing it to the bowl, stirring the salad and observing the results.But why teach a robot how to understand a video when it can easily follow a fixed program? Aloimonos believes pre
65、determined instructions lack flexibility.

67、 Dcatch sight of解析：选B词义猜测题。由第二段的第一句“If you have posted a video of your favorite recipe on the popular website YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot”可知，机器人能利用网上大量的视频信息。结合第二段的最后一句可知，capitalize on应与“use”意思相近，因此选择B项。take hold of“握住”；make use of“利用”；keep track of“与保持联系”；catch sight of“看到”。
68、2Aloimonos probably agrees that at present the robot _.Acan not fully digest what it learnsBcan not make a simple saladCcan follow homemade videosDcan understand metaphorical language解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段Aloimonos的话可知，该机器人目前还不能理解比喻性的语言。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可推知，Aloimonos可能认为目前该机器人还不能完全消化它学的东西，应选择A项。3Robots are ta
69、ught to understand a video mainly because _.Athey can easily follow fixed programsBthey are smart enough to learn cookingCcooking videos are more interesting to watchDpredetermined instructions are not flexible解析：选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的前两句“But why teach a robot . a fixed program?

70、rmined instructions lack flexibility”可知，教机器人理解视频是因为预定指令不够灵活，应选择D项。4Which of the following might best serve as the title of the passage?ARobots Creating a New WorldBRobots Making Cooking VideosCRobots Learning to Cook by Watching VideosDRobots Performing Tasks by Following Instructions解析：选C标题归纳题。文章主要
