【1】
細節(jié)理解題。在Animal Exhibit中談到“Kids can also learn about science and participate in programs and workshops throughout the year. The Animal Exhibit is also a hotspot for science-themed birthday parties.”即在Animal Exhibit,孩子們可以了解科學(xué),而且全年都可以參加項目和工作坊,這里也是舉行以科學(xué)為主題的生日聚會的熱點去處。由此可知,科學(xué)迷會很樂意選擇Animal Exhibit來慶祝他們的生日,故選A。
【2】
細節(jié)理解題。在The Mattituck Strawberry Festival一段中談到,“The fall season offers the largest abundance of fairs and festivals…”,可知秋季是這里博覽會和節(jié)日最多的時節(jié),故選C。
【3】
推理判斷題。文章第一句話You may have your favorite family spots on Long Island where you frequently take the kids.But there may be unexpected places you haven’t explored yet.就說到了“你”是帶上孩子,一家人到長島游玩的,后面介紹的四處景點也都是適合帶著孩子去探索一番的,因此可知這篇文章的目標讀者是父母。故選B項。
做閱讀理解中的推理判斷題,通常需要用到兩種方法,一種是通過context,即上下文的字里行間,進行邏輯推理,判斷出作者的目的意圖或文中某個詞或觀點態(tài)度等;還有一種是縱觀全文,通過把握文章的主旨大意來確定作者的寫作目的、文章的出處或者讀者對象等,如本篇的第3題,就是確定文章的讀者對象。文章第一句話You may have your favorite family spots on Long Island where you frequently take the kids.But there may be unexpected places you haven’t explored yet.就說到了“你”是帶上孩子,一家人到長島游玩的,后面介紹的四處景點也都是適合帶著孩子去探索一番的,因此可知這篇文章的目標讀者是父母。故選B項。

【題目】 Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class, Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.
Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support. When students feel ignored or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to taper off. Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments and sufficient time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of artificial intelligence.
【1】What problem did Professor Goel meet with?
A.Students’ questions were too many to deal with.
B.Teaching assistants were not professional at all.
C.Many students were lack of interest in his class.
D.He felt confused about how to teach online.
【2】Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?
A.grow dramaticallyB.increase sharply
C.decrease graduallyD.decline unreasonably
【3】What do we learn about Jill Watson?
A.She could answer all questions without mistakes.
B.She turned out to be a great success.
C.Her performance was remarkable all the way.
D.Her true identity was still a secret to students.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A.A robot gives an online course.
B.Virtual assistant is getting popular in school.
C.Robots will replace humans in online classes.
D.One Georgia Tech’s teaching assistant isn’t human.

I peered over my grandma’s shoulder as she sewed pieces of cloth together. The two pieces became one faster than I’d imagined. The colors, however, looked ugly when put together and none of the patterns matched. All the patches (補丁) on this blanket seemed to disagree.
“Grandma, that’s the ugliest quilt (棉被) I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh, sweetie, it’s warm and beautiful,” said Grandma, pointing to a pile of crazy patterned shirts and suits. “I can take these old clothes that Grandpa and I will never wear again and turn them into something useful and good. It’s not the quilts appearance but the love that sews it together that makes it beautiful. This quilt will keep you warm on a cold night like tonight. And I know that for a fact.” Grandma put her hand on my shoulder, “Not everyone is as lucky as we are. Here, put on your coat. We’ll get a second opinion about how ugly my quilts are.”
Grandma folded a finished quilt and tucked it into a shopping bag. Afterwards, we got in the car and drove downtown. The white snow turned grayer as we got to the city. Eventually, Grandma pulled up at a dark alley (胡同) and we got out of the car. The terrible smell of rotting garbage made me feel sick and pinch my nose shut. Grandma took my hand and led me to the street lamp. I could see the snow shimmering (發(fā)出微光) in the light.
Grandma paused. “There’s usually somebody down this alley. It’s quiet and out of the wind--a good place to stay on cold nights. A nice warm quilt might make it even better.”
The dark engulfed (吞沒) Grandma and I as we stepped deep into the alley. The pavement was cracked and missing in spots. Chicken bones and stained boxes littered their way. And Grandma’s shoes made a loud sound with each step. Feeling frightened, I squeezed Grandma’s hand. Grandma squeezed my hand back. “Its OK.” she smiled.
“Who’s there?” shouted a voice out of the darkness.
Paragraph 1:
“I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma.

【題目】 In space, there is no up or down. Without the gravity that we experience on Earth, as-tronauts and everything else on a spaceship float freely.
Humans can experience the sense of zero gravity without going into space. How?A zero-gravity flight. When an airplane flies in a lot of parabolas(拋物線), a man-made zero-gravity environment is set up. Everything in the plane floats, even passengers.
Gravity has an effect on everything from the human body and mind to the behavior of plants and the way machines run. Space travel is expensive and dangerous. But zero-gravity flights let scientists conduct experiments in an environment that mimics(模擬) the conditions of space. On each of its research trip, Zero-G flies about 30 parabolas, each of which creates a period of weightlessness that lasts about 30 seconds. Nikolaus Kuhn of the University of Ba-sel, in Switzerland, flew with Zero-G. He was conducting an experiment about soil and the flow of water on Mars. The Red Planet has about one-third of the gravity that Earth has. This means water flows more slowly on Mars. By making the parabolas less steep, zero-gravity flights can make the feeling of Martian gravity. Flying with Zero-G has been necessary for Kuhn’s research. “It is the only chance, other than going to Mars, to mimic movement of water as it would be on Mars,” he told TFK.
For years, NASA used zero-gravity flights to prepare and train astronauts. “I have not been to space,” Peters of Zero-G says, “But I have been told by astronauts that zero-gravity feels exactly the same.” As humans continue to explore the universe beyond Planet Earth, zero-gravity flights will remain an important and fun tool. “It never gets old,” Peters says “I would do it every weekend for the rest of my life if I could.”
【1】Why do scientists set up man-made zero-gravity environment?
A.To study the water on the earth.
B.To offer weightlessness as a business.
C.To take scientists to any other planets.
D.To mimic the condition of space for experiments.
【2】How much time of weightlessness can a Zero-G light offer?
A.About 30 seconds.B.About 90 seconds.
C.About 15 minutes.D.About 30 minutes.
【3】What feature do the parabolas in Zero-G flights have?
A.The gentler parabolas are, the more satisfied the researchers are.
B.The steeper parabolas are, the less weight the passengers feel.
C.The steeper parabolas are, the more successful the experiments are.
D.The gentler parabolas are, the more quickly water on Mars flows.
【4】What can be inferred about the Zero-G flight from the text?
A.It is useless for training astronauts.
B.It has no side effect on human body.
C.It creates a substitutable environment of zero gravity in space.
D.It is cheaper but more dangerous than space travel.
