A new study suggests that researchers have been overlooking how two key human responses to climatehow much land people choose to
22、farm, and the number of crops they plantwill affect food production in the future. The new study focused on the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, an emerging(新兴的)global breadbasket(产粮地区)that as of 2013 supplied 10 percent of the worlds soybeans. The researchers used variations in temperature and preci
23、pitation(降水)across the state over an eight-year period to estimate the sensitivity of the regions agricultural production to climate change. Those historical comparisons can help in making predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change.The study found that, if the patterns
24、 from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degree will lead to a 9 to 13 percent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. “This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by 2 degrees by 2050,” said
25、 Avery Cohn, who led the study.Most studies of this kind look only at the extent to which climate shocks affect crop output. But researchers can miss critical dynamics(动力)that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, one of the studys senior authors. “If you look at output alone, youre not looki
26、ng at all of the information because there are economic and social changes going on as well,” said VanWey.If output decreases, farmers may put less land area into production because its not profitable. Farmers may also vary the number of crops they plant in a growing season. Double cropping is commo
27、n in Mato Grosso. But if the weather is bad, farmers may change their decision to plant a second crop.4. The value of the new study lies in _.A. increasing the number of crops people plantB. focusing on an emerging global breadbasketC. making predictions about human responses to climate changeD. con
28、trolling peoples choice of their farming area and crop numbers5. According to Avery Cohn, by 2050, the overall production of soy and corn will _.A. remain almost unchangedB. decrease by more than 9%C. increase by from 9% to 13%D. decrease by more than 18%6. What can we know about the similar studies
29、 mentioned in paragraph 3?A. They cant provide exact information to farmers.B. They dont take into consideration some key factors.C. Their discouraging results largely affect overall crop output.D. They pay too much attention to economic and social changes.7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
30、A. Farmers possible reactions to climate shocks.B. Possible climate change in Mato Grosso.C. The benefits of double cropping in Mato Grosso.D. Farmers decision on planting crops in the future.【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A【解析】本文为说明文,文章主要讲述了气候变化对农业的影响可能被低估。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Those historical comparisons
31、 can help in making predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change.可知此研究的意义在于帮助预测农业对未来气候变化的敏感性,即人类对气候变化的反应,所以C正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段The study found that, if the patterns from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degre
32、e will lead to a 9 to 13 percent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. 可知温度升高一度,导致大豆和玉米减产9%-13%。而根据“This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by 2 degrees by 2050,可知道2050年会升高2度,因此,减产量会在18%-26%之间,所以D正确。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段But researchers can miss
33、critical dynamics(动力)that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, one of the studys senior authors.可知之前的研究忽视了影响总产量的关键动力,所以B正确。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段三个farmers may 可知此段介绍了如果气候变化,产量减少,农民们可能的反应,所以A正确。CComputer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and rea
34、ct to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed. AI (人工智能) experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to.Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语) in one research project. The pun is a kin
35、d of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a
36、kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.Allison Bishop is a computer scientist and she also performs stand-up comedy. She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay dose to a pa
37、ttern, kit not completely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This sets a great obstacle for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny.Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job security
38、as a comedy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to become a full-time comedy writer because it meant he wouldnt be replaced by a machine, she added.Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt Universitys Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robot
39、s. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isnt, and they may use it where its ina
40、ppropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.8. What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1?A. Robots influence on the scientific development.B Robots challenges of making sense of humor.C. Computer scientists devoti
41、on to technical skills.D. Computer scientists concern about AIs development.9. Examples mentioned in Paragraphs 2 and 3 are intended to _-.A. prove robots do poorly in funny workB. explain robots arent as intelligent as humansC. describe language is complex and changeableD. show language cant be tau

What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph?A. It will end up in vain.B. It may be a double-edged sword.C. It may help improve humans h
43、umor.D. It will attract more computer scientists.【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了教机器人理解幽默存在的挑战以及科学家们对教智能机器人理解幽默的不同观点。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段内容,特别是根据“Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostl
44、y failed.”可知,计算机科学家希望赋予机器人技术技能来帮助他们识别、处理幽默,并且能够对幽默做出反应,但这些尝试大多都失败了,由此可知,在本段作者主要是想说明机器人在理解幽默方面存在不小的挑战,故B项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的“humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand”可知,幽默是一种创造性的语言,计算机很难理解,再根据第三段中的“She explained that machines are train
45、ed to look for patterns.”可知,她解释说机器是经过训练来寻找模式的,由此可知,这两段的例子是想表明语言不能以模式化的方式习得,故D项正确。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said.”可知,毕肖普说,有趣的是,幽默也不应该是可预测的,因此此处是说这给机器识别和理解有趣的东西设置了很大的障碍,由此可知画线词词义为“障碍”,故A项正确。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Darmstadt Universitys Miller says the
46、re are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted.”可知,达姆施塔特大学的米勒说,有很好的理由继续尝试教机器人幽默,他指出,这可能会使机器更具亲和力,特别是如果它们能够学会理解讽刺的话,再根据“But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems h
47、umor may make them find it where it isnt, and they may use it where its inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.”可知,但是Kiki Hempelmann的想法不同,他说:“教授人工智能系统幽默可能会让它们在不合适的地方找到幽默,在不合适的地方使用幽默”,他补充说:“也许坏的人工智能会开始杀人,因为它认为有些事情很有趣”,根据这两位科学家的
48、观点可知,教智能机器人幽默有利有弊,因而是一把双刃剑,故B项正确。【点睛】本篇第4题推理判断题难度较大,抓住两位科学家的观点是关键,根据最后一段中的“Darmstadt Universitys Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted.”可知,达姆施塔特大学的米勒说,有很好的理由
49、继续尝试教机器人幽默,他指出,这可能会使机器更具亲和力,特别是如果它们能够学会理解讽刺的话,再根据“But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isnt, and they may use it where its inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.”可知
50、,但是Kiki Hempelmann的想法不同,他说:“教授人工智能系统幽默可能会让它们在不合适的地方找到幽默,在不合适的地方使用幽默”,他补充说:“也许坏的人工智能会开始杀人,因为它认为有些事情很有趣”,根据这两位科学家的观点可知,教智能机器人幽默有利有弊,因而是一把双刃剑,故B项正确。DEach year on February 2nd, there is special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日) forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

59、 hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.可知如果外面阳光明媚,土拨鼠会被自己的影子吓到,在寒冷的天气里再躲六个星期。由此可知,如果外面阴天,土拨鼠就会洞里出现,那一年的春天就会来得早。划线单词“pops”意思为“出现”。A. escapes逃走;B. appears出现;C. increases增加;D. hides隐藏。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs.
60、 Nine of the years predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.可知自1887年以来,他预测了99个漫长的冬天,只有16个早春。据美国广播公司报道,其中9个年份的预测是无用的。由此可知,Phil的预测不令人满意的原因是有些预测是无用的。故选A。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by milli

79、,C. an average平均,D. a number数字。此处指平均分,故选C。【23题详解】考查副词辨析。句意:我曾经有一个汽车修理工,在这些智力测试中,他的分数不可能超过80分。A. always总是;B. possibly 可能;C. certainly 当然;D.frequently经常。根据所提供的情境“when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him”可以判断出这位汽车修理工不是一名军人,他没有参加上文提到的那次智力测验,这是作者的估计,所以要填possibly。同时,“could not+have+过去分词”表示“(过
80、去)不可能”,也对正确选择作了提示。frequently表“频繁”,“经常”。不合题意。答案为B。【24题详解】考查副词辨析。句意:然而,当我的车出了问题,我都会匆忙找他(在修理汽车方面却很在行)。A. Then然后,B. Thus因此,C. Therefore因此;D. Yet然而。和上文是转折关系,故选D。【25题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:每当我的汽车出了毛病急急忙忙去找他时,他都能把汽车修理好。A. drove开车,B. checked 检查,C. fixed修理,D. changed改变。与上文他是汽车修理工呼应,故选C。【26题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:如果这个修理汽车的人来设计智力
81、测试题,我就会是傻瓜。A. designed设计;B. answered回答;C.practised练习;D. tried尝试。此处指设计智力测试题,故选A。【27题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:如果这个修理汽车的人来设计智力测试题,我就会是傻瓜。A. teacher老师;B. doctor医生;C. winner获胜者;D. fool傻瓜。通过下文的解释和例子可知,作者认为自己是傻瓜。故选D。【28题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:如果涉及到动手方面的事情时,我就会表现得很差。A. brains 头脑;B. effort努力;C. hands 手;D. attention注意。根据上下文可知作者是一名
82、智商很高的医生,是脑力劳动者。叙述的事情说明如果涉及到动手方面的事情时,我就会表现得很差。故选C。【29题详解】考查副词辨析。句意:考虑到这个修理汽车的人,他有讲笑话的习惯。A. too也,B.as usual像平常一样,C. again再次;D. as well也。上文已经提及这个修理汽车的人,本段再次谈到他,要使用again.故选C。【30题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:他有讲笑话的习惯。A. lies撒谎;B. jokes玩笑;C. news新闻;D. tales故事。根据下文他给我讲的故事,说明这是一个爱讲笑话的人。故选B。【31题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:一个聋哑人需要钉子。A. bou
83、ght 买;B. need需要;C. found发现;D. tested检测; needed需要。needed some nails是这位聋哑人进入商店的原因。选项A(bought)有很大的迷惑性。一些考生认为这位聋哑人到商店的目的是买钉子,所以应填bought。但是,bought some nails(买了一些钉子)表示结果,如果他买了钉子,就不会再进入商店了。答案为B。【32题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:他把两个手指放在柜台上,另一只手做了锤的动作。A. hammering锤;B. cutting切割;C. waving 挥手;D. circling绕圈。这位聋哑人到商店买钉子,所以他把两只
84、手指放在柜台上作夹钉子的动作,另一只手做锤子敲打的动作(hammering movements)。这个聋哑人要想售货员明白他想买钉子的意图,只有 hammering movement 较合适。故选A。【33题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:店员给他拿来锤子,他摇头。A. nodded点头; B. raised举起,提高,筹集,饲养;C. shook摇晃;D. turned转身。从下文的pointed to the two fingers he was hammering.可知店主拿的不对,聋哑人摇头,故选C。【34题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:售货员给他拿来了钉子。A. brought带来;B. pa
85、cked收拾行李;C. sent送,派;D.sold卖。下文中所提的情境He picked out the right size and left提示,故选A。【35题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:下一个进店的是位盲人。A. clever聪明的;B. other其他的;C. right对的;D. next下一个。根据下文,指下一个人进入商店来买东西。用 the next 表示先后顺序。故选D。【36题详解】考查疑问词辨析。句意:你认为他会如何向店主要剪刀?这是一个特殊疑问句。do you suppose是插入语。he asked for them是一个完整的句子,所以不能填What, Who或W
86、hich,它们在特殊疑问句中都充当主语、宾语或表语。How表示方式,意思是“如何”。答案为D。【37题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:他用声音告诉店主,他要剪子。A. imagination想象力;B. voice声音;C. hand手;D. information信息。这个人是盲人,但是他会说话,所以他用他的声音告诉店主,他要剪子。故选B。【38题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:我一直用这个故事来测试今天所有的顾客 A. trying尝试,实验;B. proving证明;C. practising练习;D. examining检查。Try on尝试,trying sth on sb 意为“用某事测试某人
87、”,在英国口语中也可理解为“用某事戏弄某人”。指他一直用这个故事来测试或戏弄别的顾客 。故选A。【39题详解】考查词组辨析。句意:但是我确信我捉弄了你。A.at once 立刻; B. right now现在;C. in fact事实上;D. for sure毫无疑问。故选D。【40题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:因为你受过足够的教育,我知道你不可能耍滑头。A. smart聪明的,滑头的;B. clear清楚的;C. silly愚蠢的;D. slow缓慢的。从上文的内容我们可以看出,作者是一位医生,在部队里的一次智力测验中得过高分,但是,正因为如此,他才会按常规思维,所以汽车修理工说:“因为你受
88、过足够的教育,我知道你不可能耍滑头。”goddamned表示褒义时,意思是“十分的,完全的”;表示贬义时,意思是“该死的,讨厌的”。故选A。第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Antarctica (南极洲), the southernmost part of Earth, is covered _41_ snow and ice all year round. _42_ it has amazing views, many are still frightened by this icy desert.Bu

93、“被覆盖着”后跟介词with,故填with。【42题详解】考查连词。句意:虽然它有惊人的景色,但许多人仍然被这片冰冷的沙漠所吓倒。根据句意可知填Although或Though。【43题详解】考查名词的数。month为可数名词,由three修饰,故用复数形式months。【44题详解】考查非谓语动词。序数词first后跟不定式做后置定语,表示“他成为第一个独自穿越南极洲的人”,故填to cross。【45题详解】考查反身代词。句意:他必须将他自己推向极限。故填反身代词himself。【46题详解】考查形容词比较级。根据后文and weaker可知填形容词比较级thinner。【47题详解】考查动

98、所以不能应朋友的邀请去吃晚饭。为此李华写信进行了解释。【详解】1. 考查强调句型。此处是强调句型:It is that/who,本句强调状语much to my regret,应使用that。故which改为that。2. 考查动词。根据句意可知,此处应是join sb.“加入某人”而join in表示参加某活动。故join in后的in去掉。3. 考查副词。此处修饰形容词occupied,应用副词形式。故full改为fully。4. 考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓动词作后置定语修饰exam,且它们之间是主动关系,所以要用现在分词形式。故come改为coming。5. 考查固定句型。固定句型:“s
99、o+形容词+冠词+名词,或such+冠词+形容词+名词”意为“如此以至于”。根据后文a happy get-together可知,此处应用such。故so改为such。6. 考查谓语动词。根据句意,此处应是that引导的宾语从句的谓语动词,根据语境,应用一般现在时。故enjoying改为enjoy。7. 考查代词。根据前文Is it possible for you and可知,此处做for的宾语,应是宾格形式。故I改为me。8. 考查名词单复数。根据语境可知,这里指的是have a private meeting的日子,所以要用单数形式。故dates改为date。9. 考查介词。chat w
100、ith sb.“与某人聊天”是固定短语。故about改为with。10. 考查非谓语动词。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”是固定短语,故在say前面加to。【点睛】本题难点解读:第4小题,句中已有谓语动词且又无并列连词与括号内提示的动词并列,说明第二个动词需用非谓语动词形式。I will be full occupied with an important exam come the day after tomorrow.这里谓语动词will be和come之间没有连词,故判断用非谓语形式,根据语境判断考试和来临是主动关系,故用动词的现在分词形式。第二节 书面表达(满
