【題目】How soon will robots become so clever that they will be able to do jobs which human can do, such as teaching language or looking after patients in hospital? Some experts believe this will happen in twenty years.

UAS, one London company, has already developed a kind of machine. ①It can be used as “home-helps” for old people. It can also do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor. The company says that the machine will accept simple voice instructions and that the machine will be controlled by a latest IBM microcomputer (微機(jī)). Mr. Henry, the director of UAS, believes that his company will develop the clever robots for using in industry. By this time they will begin to sell the machines into ordinary homes.

Robots can do much housework, such as washing dishes, cleaning the house and cooking meals. ②By the way, the price of them may be as little as＄1,000.

But Dr. Sandra believes we have a long way to develop truly intelligent (真正智能化的) machines. She says, it can cook an egg. But if one of eggs is bad, it will still cook. If you ask a robot to do something unusual that needs a man to think, a robot is useless.

【5】題意。我們有真正的智能機(jī)器人嗎？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But Dr. Sandra believes we have a long way to develop truly intelligent machines.，可知暫時(shí)還沒有，故填No.。

閱讀短文回答問題。即根據(jù)文章的表層意思進(jìn)行深層次的推理判斷，組織語言回答問題。首先要粗讀文章了解大意，其次通過細(xì)讀，理解全文。在粗讀的基礎(chǔ)上，仔細(xì)閱讀題后所給的題目，根據(jù)題目要求，再有重點(diǎn)地返回來仔細(xì)閱讀。在閱讀時(shí)要注意辨認(rèn)和記憶具體事實(shí)和重要情節(jié)，包括事物的起因、過程、結(jié)果及發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)、時(shí)間等，這對題目的判斷至關(guān)重要，需要考生綜合所有的細(xì)節(jié)來理解把握。

【題目】Take a class at Dulangkou School, and you’ll see lots of things different from other schools. You can see the desks are not in rows and students sit in groups. They put their desks together so they’re facing each other. How can they see the blackboard? There are three blackboards on the three walls of the classroom!

The school calls the new way of learning “Tuantuanzuo”, meaning sitting in groups. Wei Liying, a Junior 3 teacher, said it was to give students more chance to communicate.

Each group has five or six students, according to Wei, and they play different roles (角色). There is a team leader who takes care of the whole group. There is a “study leader” who makes sure that everyone finishes their homework. And there is a discipline (紀(jì)律) leader who makes sure that nobody chats in class.

Wang Lin is a team leader. The 15-year-old said that having to deal with so many things was tiring.

“I just looked after my own business before,” said Wang. “But now I have to think about my five group members.”

But Wang has got used to it and can see the benefits (好處) now.

“ I used to speak too little. But being a team leader means you have to talk a lot. You could even call me an excellent speaker today.”

Zhang Qi, 16, was weak in English. She used to get about 70 in English tests. But in a recent test, Zhang got a grade of more than 80.

“I rarely（很少）asked others when I had problems with my English. But now I can ask the team leader or study leader. They are really helpful.”

【題目】Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signa l, the television has no programs, and you can’t get online with your computer.

What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm（太陽風(fēng) 暴）might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.

A solar storm is caused by solar flares（太陽耀斑）: large explosions（爆炸）near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（衛(wèi)星系統(tǒng)）that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.

In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine’s Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more.” SolarStormWarning.com, a US website about space weather, warned.

Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將選定的答案字母標(biāo)號涂黑。
