题目内容
7.I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.There,a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure.Some time later,in steps the doctor,who is also a robot.He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription.I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.
This scenario(场景)is my nightmarish(噩梦般的)vision of the future,which hasn't come to pass──at least not yet.
I should say I really do like many aspects of technology.I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter.But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over.
When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line,I am thrilled.And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store,I feel like shouting:"When it comes to cashiers(收银员),make mine human,please!"
After all,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are buying.Even more than that,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children,which can brighten a young mother's day.A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.
Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine.But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life.
It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.

解答 28-31 DADB
28.D 推理判断题.文章前两段描写的是作者去医院看病,从头到尾全是机器人在操作,没有一个人类,由此可知,作者描述的是将来机器人掌控我们的生活时一个可能出现的场景,故选D.
29.A 判断推理题.根据第四段的作者经历来看,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children作者喜欢human cashier因为他们会跟你互动,有思想上的交流,故答案为A.
30.D 猜测词意题.根据前句Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine可知机器在处理工作上效率很高,但是缺少有效的和人之间的交流,故答案为D.
31.B 主旨大意题.通过 最后一段的介绍It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.可知,人类具有机器无法达到的优点,所以文章主要论述了人和机器之间的区别,故答案为B.
