16.Dr.Caroline Lyon,Professor Chrystopher Nehaniv and Dr.Joe Saunders have carried out experiments as part of the iTalk project with the childlike iCub humanoid robot to show how language learning sppears.Initially the robot can only babble(speak like a baby)and takes speech as a string of sounds,not divided up into words.After having a few minutes of"conversation"with humans,in which the participants were instructed to speak to the robot as if it were a small child,the robot adapted its output to the most frequently heard units of pronunciation to produce some word forms such as the names of simple shapes and colors.
    Dr.Caroline Lyon said:"It is known that little babies are sensitive to the frequency of sounds in speech,and these experiments show how this sensitivity can be modeled and contribute to the learning or word forms by a robot."
    The iTalk project teachers the robot of speak using methods similar to those used to teach children and is a key part in the learning process of the human-robot interaction.Although the iCub robot is learning to produce word forms,it does not know their meaning,and learning meaning is another part of the iTalk project's research.These scientific and technological advances could have a significant effect on the future generation of interactive robotic systems.

32.What's the first paragraph mainly about?D
A.Three scientists.
B.The iCub robot
C.Talks between the robot and humans    
D.A scientific experiment.
33.We can infer that this childlike robot canA.
A.hardly speak complete sentences    
B.speak fluently like a human
C.teach a baby to speak             
D.be taught by its robot fellow
34.Which of the following can indicate Dr.Caroline Lyon's remarks?C
A.The experiments are leaned by a robot
B.Babies are more sensitive to the sounds in speech than the robot
C.The approach of teaching kids can be adopted to teach the robot.
D.The robot can teach itself like a baby.
35.In the last paragraph,we can learn thatD.
A.the iCub robot has a good understanding of words
B.the experiments are entirely complete
C.the main section of the iTalk project lies in robotic systems
D.the iTalk project's research is at the basic stage.

分析 短文主要講了科學(xué)家研究機器人的說話方式,通過實驗可以模仿小孩說話的方式來教機器人說法.

解答 32.D,推理判斷題,短文第一段主要講了一個科學(xué)實驗,關(guān)于機器人如何說話,故答案為D.
33.A,細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子to produce some word forms such as the names of simple shapes and colors.可知像孩子一樣的機器人只能說一些單詞,詞組,不能說出完整的句子,故答案為A.
34.C,細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子 these experiments show how this sensitivity can be modeled and contribute to the learning or word forms by a robot.可知教小孩說話的方式可是用在教機器人身上,故答案為C.
35.D,推理判斷題,根據(jù)最后一句These scientific and technological advances could have a significant effect on the future generation of interactive robotic systems.,可知這種研究還在基礎(chǔ)階段,故答案為D.

點評 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認真分析,仔細推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準.

12.Every day,people come into contact with thousands of chemicals.These chemicals are said to be harmless to human health.In fact,the chemicals are considered so safe that we wash with them.We put them on our bodies and even our faces.Other chemical products are used throughout our homes.
By the time you walk out of your front door,you have already been exposed to thousands of chemicals.
On its own,each chemical seems harmless.But in combination with other chemicals,they may become deadly.That is the finding of a two-year study by a high-profile(高調(diào)的)task force of scientists.The task force was told to investigate the cancer-causing possibility of chemical mixtures.
Linda Gulliver was one of the 174 scientists on the task force.Their job was to study the cancer-causing potential of 85 chemicals.All 85 are said to be common in the environment.
Ms.Gulliver explains that chemicals have the potential or ability to form dangerous mixtures.Even simple minerals can become dangerous when mixed with chemicals found in plastics or beauty products.
Working in groups,the scientists explored how different chemical mixtures could lead to cancer.Ms.Gulliver's team looked at the ability of different combinations to support the increase of malignant(惡性的)human cells.
She says the current way to identify whether chemicals cause cancer is to test them one at a time.This method leads,she adds,to a long list of supposedly"safe"chemicals.She and her team say that approach needs to change.
"We definitely need certain research…to find out what mixtures of chemicals would be more harmful than others; what groups of chemicals,when together,would produce more harmful effects.And at the moment,that is not known."
An estimated one in five cancers has been linked to chemical exposure.It may turn out that the cancer-causing villain(惡棍)is not a single chemical at all.

32.What effect may one single chemical have on us according to the text?B
A.It may destroy our body.
B.It may not cause danger to us.
C.It may let us suffer from cancer.
D.It may let our body make a change.
33.What can we learn about Ms.Gulliver's research?D
A.She has found 85 cancer-causing chemicals.
B.She has found reasons for five kinds of cancers.
C.She has found that only one chemical can cause cancer.
D.She is not sure what mixtures of chemicals are more harmful.
34.According to the text,we can infer that the studyB.
A.is just wasting time and money
B.is still in need of great efforts
C.will cause panic in public
D.will be resisted by the public
35.What is the best title for the text?A
A.Mixtures of Safe Chemicals May Cause Cancer
B.Being Exposed to One Chemicals Is Dangerous
C.How Mixtures of Safe Chemicals Come into Being?
D.What Is the Real Cause For Cancer?

Suy Senglim is now working on a book on 100bird species from among the 400species he has photographed.He hopes to publish the book in early 2018.He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to influence a new generation of nature-lovers.
