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 短文主要讲了科学家研究机器人的说话方式,通过实验可以模仿小孩说话的方式来教机器人说法.

解答 32.D,推理判断题,短文第一段主要讲了一个科学实验,关于机器人如何说话,故答案为D.
33.A,细节理解题,根据句子to produce some word forms such as the names of simple shapes and colors.可知像孩子一样的机器人只能说一些单词,词组,不能说出完整的句子,故答案为A.
34.C,细节理解题,根据句子 these experiments show how this sensitivity can be modeled and contribute to the learning or word forms by a robot.可知教小孩说话的方式可是用在教机器人身上,故答案为C.
35.D,推理判断题,根据最后一句These scientific and technological advances could have a significant effect on the future generation of interactive robotic systems.,可知这种研究还在基础阶段,故答案为D.

点评 解答任务型阅读理解题,首先对原文材料迅速浏览,掌握全文的主旨大意.因为阅读理解题一般没有标题,所以,速读全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速读的过程中,应尽可能多地捕获信息材料.其次,细读题材,各个击破.掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅读每篇材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主题句,阅读时,要有较强的针对性.对于捕获到的信息,要做认真分析,仔细推敲,理解透彻,只有这样,针对题目要求,才能做到稳、准.

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(高调的)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(恶性的)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(恶棍)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?
8.As more and more animal species began to disappear from Kandal province,the Cambodian man Suy Senglim grew worried.So he created a photo project hoping to bring more attention to the loss of natural habitat in Cambodia.He records the common name of each creature,its scientific name and identifying qualities,whether or not the species is endangered and hopes to educate Cambodians about the importance of wildlife protection.
"The biggest issue is damage to habitat and hunting.Besides that,it is due to demand from the rich who desire wild meat and who consider wild meat chemical-free,"he said.
"Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture,"he said.But he notes that centuries ago,there were more animals and fewer people.Educating Cambodians about the need for saving natural resources is very important to Suy Senglim.
Chhit Sam Ath is executive director of the World Wildlife Fund,or WWF office in Cambodia.He said land sales and development are partly responsible for a sharp drop in the number of trees.It is estimated that protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country.Between 2001 and 2014,the yearly rate of forest loss in Cambodia was the highest in the world,the group said.The rate increased 14.4 percent during that period.Flora and Fauna International noted almost 60 percent of the country was forested in 2009.But it fell to 48 percent by 2014.
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.

24.How does Suy Senglim feel about the wildlife in Cambodia?C
A.Disappointed.
B.Optimistic.
C.Concerned.
D.Annoyed.
25.What did Suy Senglim do?B
A.He has taken pictures of about 100 bird species in all.
B.He made a careful investigation of the wildlife in Cambodia.
C.He is now working in colleges to educate young people.
D.He works at the WWF office to help protect wildlife.
26.What is true about Cambodia?C
A.Local people are good at hunting.
B.Forest coverage rate fell by 14.4 percent from 2001 to 2014.
C.Rich people have a special interest in wild meat.
D.Many Cambodians have realized the importance of wildlife protection.
27.Where does this text probably come from?D
A.A news report.
B.A science fiction.
C.A medical journal.
D.An agricultural magazine.
