21、ks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.”大白鲨会从水里跃起到半空中对海豹进行捕食,而不 是 B 项提到的大白鲨在海底捕食, 故 B 项错误。 文中第一句提到“Seal Island is a 200-meter - 5 - long island off the coast of South Africa” 海豹岛是南非海岸外的一个 200 米长的岛 屿, 而不是在南非海岸上, 故 D 项错误。 文中最后两句提到“In fact, the island is not famous for the se
22、als or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks”海 岛上真正有名的并不是海豹或者是鸟,而是在半空中捕食的大白鲨。C 项正确。故选 C。 【5 题详解】 推理判断题。文章一二段提到,海豹会被大白鲨捕食,第三段提到海豹在多年来的发展中是 如何避免被捕杀的。“They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra cover.” 当海豹在海底潜游时,深海给了它们额外的保护。不得不在海面上游时,则会采用 Z 字形来 抵御大白鲨的攻击。故选 D。 【6 题详解】 细节
23、理解题。 根据第三段第四句及最后一句可知“But with all these tricks, they can still be cleverly beaten by the sharks.”虽然海豹有抵御大白鲨的办法,但还是很难逃脱大白 鲨的捕杀。故 A 项错误。第二句提到“They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra cover.”海豹在海底潜游,因为深海会给海豹额外的保护,在不得已的时候海豹才会 游到海面上。故 B 项错误。第四句提到“But with all these tricks, they can still b
24、e cleverly beaten by the sharks.”,虽然海豹会玩一些小把戏,但任然会被鲨鱼巧妙地击 败, 句中cleverly说明了大白鲨的智力还是很高的。 故D项错误。 第四及第五句提到“But with all these tricks, they can still be cleverly beaten by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt.
25、”虽然海豹会玩一些小把戏,但大白鲨还是能够捕捉到海豹,而且大白 鲨还会把一头海豹赶上海面,这样捕食起来就会更容易了,C 项正确,故选 C。 C C Nao, the first robot able to show feelings, has been created by a European research team.

It can m
28、emorize faces, and knows the basic rules of good and bad. Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.

29、 robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room, while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.

35、Nao is sad, he lowers his head and looks down. When hes happy, he raises his arms for a hug.”当 Nao 生气时,他会低下头,当他开 心时,他会伸出手要求抱抱,说明 Nao 能在不同的情况下表达不同的情绪。故选 A。 【8 题详解】 细节理解题。文中第一句提到“Nao, the first robot able to show feelings”Nao 是第一 个能表达情感的机器人。同时,第二段最后一句“The feelings are shown through physical gestures a
36、nd body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.”科 学家认为情感是通过姿势和手势表达的而不是语言或面部表情,说明 Nao 是没有语言功能的, 故 A 项 错 误 。 第 四 段 最 后 一 句 提 到 “The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but Nao decides for itself when to display them.”Nao 的每种情感对 应的动作是预先编程好的,但什么时候显示是 Nao 自己决定的,而不是显示的时间也是
37、预先 编程好的,故 B 项错误。第六段第一句提到“Canameros team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications.” Canamero 的团队将要在医学 APP 上运 用情感程序,will take 是一般将来时,表示将要发生还未发生的事情,故 C 项错误。第六段 第三句提到“Children might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can - 8 - understand their emotional states ma

Satisfaction 满意。文中第五段提到一个独立的机器人在搜索一个空间时很少寻求帮助,是独立完成任务 的。句中 while“然而”是一个转折连词,连接两个句意相反的句子,由此可以判断,一个胆 怯的机器人在处理一个空间内的有害东西时可能会不知所措。故选 B。 【10 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章
39、内容,仅在最后一段提到了机器人将会被运用在医学 APP 上来缓解小 孩焦虑的情况, A 项不全面, 故 A 项错误。 文章第二段提到了在未来机器人能从事的一些工作, B 项较片面,故 B 项错误。文章中无明显的关于时间、时长方面的词汇,因此无法说明机器人 的历史,故 D 项错误。文章第一段就提到了情感机器人 Nao,且文章中的内容都是围绕情感机 器人的特性,将来会运用到的场景展开的,C 项正确。故选 C。 【点睛】概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就 通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句,记叙文寻找概括情节和中心 的动词或反映人物特点的形
40、容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时,务必牢记作者的 观点才是体现全文中心的。如该文第 4 小题,提问这篇文章主要讲了什么内容,因此对于文 章的概括应完整而非片面。此时对文章中每段内容的大意进行一个总结性的概括即可。 第二节(共第二节(共 5 5 小题;每小题小题;每小题 2 2 分,满分分,满分 1010 分)分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Find Something You Like to DoHow to Find Someth
