17.Robots have been an important part of science fiction since the beginning of cinema itself.The following films are the best in terms of their description of robots:
The Terminator (produced by MGM)
The granddaddy of bad robots,The Terminator is a vicious killing machine that will do whatever it takes to kill his target,Sarah Connor,including murdering other people that just happen to share her name.And although the sequels(续集)have featured some pretty impressive robots,especially T-1000in Terminator2:Judgment Day,it's the director James Cameron's original creation that remains a real classic.
Star Wars:A New Hope (produced by Lucasfilm)
The entire Star Wars series is full of robots and cyborgs(半机械人)and various other artificial life forms,but it was 1977's Star Wars A New Hope that first introduced the world a pair of lovable robots named C-3PO and R2-D2.The pair's unusual friendship plays an important role in the movie series,which confirms their place as perhaps the most famous non-living characters in cinematic history.
WALL-E (produced by Pixar)
It's hard to believe that WALL-E doesn't speak a word of language throughout the movie,as the character eventually becomes a caring and emotional figure.WALL-E's pursuit (追求) of a fellow robot is romantic and interesting.And it's impossible not to feel a burst of emotion when the pair finally do get together at the end of the movie.
I,Robot(produced by 20th Century Fox)
Based on the famous short story collection by Issac Asimov,I,Robot happens in a world that's overrun by robots,as the artificial life forms perform a variety of daily life tasks and jobs.At the center of the storyline is Sonny,a robot who possesses a desire to overcome his rigid programming and become more than just a machine.

9.Which of the movies can be classified as a romance film?D
A.The Terminator.     B.Star Wars:A New Hope.
C.I,Robot.           D.WALL-E.
10.Who may be the most famous robot in cinematic history according to the text?A
A.C-3PO.         B.EVE.
C.T-1000.        D.Sonny.
11.Issac Asimov's collection was filmed byB.
A.MGM           B.20th Century Fox     
C.Pixar         D.Lucasfilm
12.What do the four movies have in common?C
A.The robots in them don't talk.
B.They are all adapted from novels.
C.The robots in them have emotions.
D.They all have sequels.

分析 自从电影开始以来,机器人一直是科幻小说的重要组成部分,在描述机器人这一方面,下面的电影是最好的:
终结者(米高梅出品)
坏机器人的鼻祖,终结者是一个邪恶的杀人机器,会不惜一切代价来杀死他的目标,Sarah Connor(莎拉•康纳),包括杀害与其名字相同的其他人.虽然续集具有一些非常令人印象深刻的机器人,尤其是终结者2:审判日中T-1000,这是导演詹姆斯•卡梅隆最初的创作,仍然是真正的经典.
星球大战:新希望(卢卡斯影业出品)
整个星球大战系列全是机器人和机器人(半机械人)以及其他各种人工生命形式,但正是1977年的星球大战:新希望这部影片,第一次介绍了世界上一对可爱的机器人分别叫C-3PO和R2-D2.这一对机器人的不同寻常的友谊在系列电影中扮演着重要的角色,这证实了他们也许是电影史上最著名的非生物角色.
瓦力(皮克斯出品)
难以置信,整部电影中瓦力没有说一个字,这个角色最终成为一个有同情心,易动感情的人物.瓦力追求一名机器人,浪漫有趣.电影最后这一对最终在一起,不能不感到一阵激动.
我,机械人(二十世纪福克斯电影公司出品)
基于Issac Asimov(艾萨克•阿西莫夫)的著名短篇故事集,我,机械人发生机器人泛滥的世界,人工生命的形式完成各种日常生活任务和工作.故事的中心是机器人桑尼,它拥有克服僵硬编程的欲望,使自己不仅仅成为一个机器人.

解答 9.D  细节理解题.根据WALL-E (produced by Pixar)这一部分中"WALL-E's pursuit (追求) of a fellow robot is romantic and interesting."可知,瓦力的追求很浪漫,根据后面"And it's impossible not to feel a burst of emotion when the pair finally do get together at the end of the movie."可知,这个故事结局使人激动,故选D.
10.A 细节理解题.根据Star Wars:A New Hope (produced by Lucasfilm)这一部分中"The pair's unusual friendship plays an important role in the movie series,which confirms their place as perhaps the most famous non-living characters in cinematic history."可知,C-3PO and R2-D2这一对也许是电影史上最著名的非生物角色,故选A.
11.B  细节理解题.根据I,Robot(produced by 20th Century Fox)这一部分中"Based on the famous short story collection by Issac Asimov,I,Robot happens in a world that's overrun by robots"可知,I,Robot这部电影是基于艾萨克•阿西莫夫的著名短篇故事集,I,Robot这部电影由二十世纪福克斯电影公司出品,故选B.
12.C 推理判断题.根据整篇文章,只有WALL-E提到不说话,排除A选项;只有I,Robot提到改编自小说,排除B选项;WALL-E和I,Robot没有提到续集,排除D选项.根据The Terminator这一部分中"The Terminator is a vicious killing machine"可知,终结者是邪恶的,有感情,根据Star Wars:A New Hope 这一部分中"The pair's unusual friendship plays an important role in the movie series"可知,C-3PO and R2-D2这一对有友谊,有感情,根据WALL-E (produced by Pixar)这一部分中"WALL-E's pursuit (追求) of a fellow robot is romantic and interesting.",WALL-E有爱情,有感情,根据I,Robot(produced by 20th Century Fox)这一部分中"Sonny,a robot who possesses a desire to overcome his rigid programming and become more than just a machine.",Sonny有欲望,有感情,四部电影共同特征是机器人有感情,故选C.

点评 本文介绍了四部电影:《终结者》、《星球大战:新希望》、《瓦力》、《我,机械人》.题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性地找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题,在抓住关键句子的基础上进行合理正确的分析,切记胡乱猜测,做到有理有据.

12.You may have experienced the frustration(挫败感)of being slapped with a parking fine(罚款)or finding your car held firmly in the place after leaving it parked precariously(不安全的) for a couple of minutes.But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's windscreen,could help motorists avoid such a situation by allowing a traffic warden(管理员)to get in touch with them.
The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when it is touched by a traffic warden,to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their car immediately.It's designed to save drivers time and money by giving them a chance to move their car instead of having it towed(拖) away but relies on the good will of traffic wardens.Frankfurt-based IT consultant(顾问),Daniel Kalliontzis,came up with the idea and is raising funds on Indiegogo to put his?54 (£43)sticker into production.
Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car's windscreen,having set it up with important information,such as their phone number.The message will ask them to move their car immediately.The driver could then type a reply for the warden using their smartphone,which will appear on the sticker's screen.They may choose to write something along the lines of back in two minutes in a bid to avoid a fine.
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically,a German law.The law states:An officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle.It could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the driver than to tow his car.

4.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A
A.To arouse readers'interest in the new invention.
B.To tell readers some ways of parking cars.
C.To show drivers how to avoid parking fine.

A.slap the windscreen      B.strike the wheel
C.use a smartphone         D.touch the sticker

B.the TowStop sticker will cost drivers much time and money
C.not many drivers will mind being fined
D.car owners must buy the stickers by law.
9.Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position.The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of enines hurts your(41)A; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a (42)A afternoon,everything changed.
Every once in a while,the sub-zero temperatures seal a(43)B windows shut.Drivers don't exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,(44)C their orders into a speaker box,when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats.In such cases,most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was (45)D.
"I'll get the next car's(46)D as well,"she said as she came up to the window to pay.She stood outside,(47)C much snowon her hair.Though she was obviously freezing,her bright(48)B lit up her face like a fire.
"You can't(49)B their drinks,"I said,confused and tired.
"No,but I'll buy them,"she said."Pay it forward and all that."
Completely puzzled,I charged her as (50)B,and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just hppened.I watched as his(51)B changed-first angry to be out in the cold,then (52)C at the random act of kindness,and finally,delighted by his(53)D.
"I suppose I'll pay for the next order then,"he replied,nodding and waving at the impatient driver(54)D him.He(55)C over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued.Customers arrived annoyed only to leave(56)B and pleased.Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,(57)A others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed,then ten,then twenty   No one refused to pay.Customers stood at my window(58)B a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger.Cars drove off,honking (鸣笛) and (59)B their thanks.
It only takes one customer,one person,to change the entire (60)C of traffic.It only takes one moment,one smile,to warm up even the coldest of days.

6.Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information,especially numbers,percentages,and other data.A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret.That can be more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can seem frightening,but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title,a main idea,and supporting details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs like any other text.
  Most graphs have a few basic parts:a caption or introduction paragraph,a title,a legend or key,and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will usually tell you where the data from (for example,a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005).Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend,also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.Many graphs,including bar graphs and line graphs,have two axes that form a corner.Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axis will always have a label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
  A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1,we see that the x-axis shows grades students earned,and the y-axis shows how many   students earned each grade.You can see that 6 students   earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the   vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we can   get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1)
Line Graphs
  A line graph looks similar to a bar graph,but instead of bars,it plots points and connects them with a line.It has the same parts as a bar graph---two labeled axes---and can be read the same way.To read a line graph,it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points.This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration  (See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days.The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers.Thus we can see that,on the first day,the pipit flew 20 kilometers.The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled down,as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick,visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
  A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided into sections,and each section represents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents 100 percent,so each piece is a fraction of the whole.A pie graph might include a legend,or it might use icons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows one month's expenses(See Graph 3).
