Question

【題目】

Robots Are Now Teaching English! Get ready. Robots are about to invade our classroom. From Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English-speaking robots in front of their students. In Korea, robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens. The young students say that the robots are fun, but are these children really learning anything? I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does. A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals (個(gè)體) . _______▲_______, and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student. I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data (數(shù)據(jù)) is widely used in the world.
Sara says: In my opinion, schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots. Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations. Keiko says: I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction. After all, robots cannot think as humans do. Hassan says: Robots might be able to help people learn a language, but I don't think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings. Nancy says: I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom. A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person.

文章大意：機(jī)器人即將進(jìn)入我們的教室。從韓國到日本再到美國，學(xué)校都在把會(huì)說英語的機(jī)器人放在學(xué)生面前。在韓國，機(jī)器人成為許多幼兒園和幼兒園的新助教。針對(duì)這種現(xiàn)象，作者和其他的四個(gè)人對(duì)此發(fā)表了自己的評(píng)論。

【1】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文From Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English-speaking robots in front of their students. In Korea, robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens. 從韓國到日本再到美國，學(xué)校都在把會(huì)說英語的機(jī)器人放在學(xué)生面前。在韓國，機(jī)器人成為許多幼兒園和幼兒園的新助教。可知此處說的是機(jī)器人即將進(jìn)入我們的教室。所以invade應(yīng)該是“進(jìn)入、入侵”的意思，故答案選A。

【2】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals.老師必須能夠以個(gè)體的身份對(duì)學(xué)生做出反應(yīng)。以及下文and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student. 教師必須改變教學(xué)方式以適應(yīng)學(xué)生的需要。可知此處表達(dá)的應(yīng)是“每個(gè)學(xué)生都不一樣”，所以教師應(yīng)該根據(jù)學(xué)生的需要改變教學(xué)方式，故答案選B。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Nancy says: I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom. Nancy說：我認(rèn)為機(jī)器人可能在課堂上很有幫助。可知，在這4條評(píng)論中，Nancy認(rèn)為機(jī)器人可以在課堂上給學(xué)習(xí)者很多幫助，故答案選D。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data is widely used in the world. 盡管大數(shù)據(jù)在世界上得到了廣泛的應(yīng)用，但我非常懷疑計(jì)算機(jī)是否有能力做到這一點(diǎn)�？芍�，作者對(duì)機(jī)器人教英語是持有懷疑的態(tài)度的，故答案選C。
