26、ge me，”“我的第一目标是去一所能推动我并挑战我的高中”可知，当她在选择高中时，奥巴马夫人乐意接受挑战。故选D。9By mentioning Oprahs example，Mrs.Obama wanted to tell the graduates Ato be brave enough to risk failingBto work hard to get promotedCto start as a news reporterDnot to waste time doing what they dislikeA推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But you can only do that
27、 if youre willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail.Overcoming difficulties has been a mark of many great people(但只有你把自己放在一个可能失败的位置才有可能做到。克服困难是很多伟大人物的标志。)”之后举了Oprah第一份工作降职的例子，可知第一夫人想告诉毕业生要足够勇敢的冒失败的危险。故选A。10Where can you probably find this text?AIn a news report.BIn a politics book.C
28、In a graduation paper.DOn Mrs.Obamas blog.A文章出处题。本文讲述了美国第一夫人在Martin Luther King Jr.High School毕业典礼上讲话的部分内容。她鼓励孩子们要正视失败，要把精力放到学业上。这样的内容可能来自于新闻报道。故选A。11What do we know about Mrs.Obama from the text?AShe is a graduate of Tennessee State University.BThis is the first time she has given a speech to gradu

30、ao, a small robot, looks like a person.If Nao begged you not to shut it off, what would you do? Would you follow its wishes?Scientists did a study to see how people treat robots that act like people.

31、 finishing two tasks with it.The tasks with the robot didnt matter, though.What the scientists really wanted to see was how the participants (参与者) reacted once the tasks were over.They were asked to talk with Nao and finally shut Nao off, but it was not easy to do.Some people did not want to turn of

33、eople might have seen Naos cries as a sign of independent thought.In turn, this could have led people to see the robot as having humanlike characters.For thousands of years, humans have lived in a world where they are the only ones who could have conversations, the study said.Our brains have learned
34、 to react to social situations in a certain way.But our brains are not used to telling the difference between the real people and fake (假的) people.The robot expresses feelings and desires, which gets people to want to treat the robot as if it was alive.【语篇解读】主要介绍了一个有趣的科学研究，人们在与类人机器人交流相处之后的行为情感反应，并对实

36、reat robots that act like people.”可知，科学家做这个研究，是要看看人们会如何对待具有人类行为的机器人，D选项“目的是要了解人们可能会如何回应类人机器人”符合原文，故选D。13.In the study, what is special about the participants behavior?AThey had feelings for Nao.BThey refused Naos requests.CThey shut Nao off immediately.DThey praised Naos social skills.A推理判断题。本题要求找出在

38、器人产生了情感，而不是仅仅把它当作一台机器看待。A选项正确，应选A。 14.According to Paragraphs 4 and 5, what causes the result of the study?AHumans are born to be creative.BHumans dislike robots in some ways.CHumans dont often deal with humanlike robots.DHumans prefer dealing with lifeless objects.C细节理解题。综合这两段的内容，特别是第五段中“For thousa
39、nds of years, humans have lived in a world where they are the only ones who could have conversations.But our brains are not used to telling the difference between the real people and fake people.”可知，潜移默化中，当机器与我们聊天对话时，我们的大脑并不习惯于分辨真人和“假人”的不同之处。C选项“人们并不经常对付这些类人机器人”是造成这一研究结果的原因，故选C。15.The test is most p
40、robably taken from a magazine about Ahealthy lifestylesBpopular scienceChistorical events Dsuccessful peopleB文章出处题。本题要求判断文章的可能出处，文中几乎在每一段都多次出现“study”(研究)和“scientists”(科学家)，可初步将文章归入“科学科普”大类。从文章内容上看，其介绍了一个有趣的科学研究，研究人们对于类人机器人的情感反应，这不是晦涩难懂的学术论文或偏门研究，而是偏大众化的课题，故B选项“大众科学”最符合原文，应选B。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12

47、他人联系起来，故选B。17D根据第二段第二句“.take up a lot of time.”有些爱好，如集邮和园艺都需要花费很长的时间，但“.can be done at your own pace and do not require any extended time.”电子游戏、阅读等就可以按照自己的节奏完成，也不需要额外的时间。因此需选择一句跟时间有关的句子，且该空为该段第一句，应选择一句总起句，故选D。18E第三段提到要对你选择的爱好进行研究调查，包括需要的时间和金钱等。该段最后一句提到“Your local library or phone book should also ha

49、re interested in for a week or so.” 挑战自己，尝试一个你感兴趣的新活动一周左右。即对自己选择的爱好进行尝试，并查看尝试后的结果怎样，故选C。.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)“Youre the worst parents ever.Just leave me alone！” It was another typical 21 between me and my parents.This time I wanted to go out with friends on Saturday night but they had plans to go
