D.Negative.選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的“XiaoIce’sworkcarriesastrangetaste.Themoreyouchewonit,themoreinterestingitbecomes”可知,XiaoIce的作品有種奇怪的感覺。你深入體會得越多,它就變得越有趣。所以看出ScholarZhang對XiaoIce的創(chuàng)作的觀點是支持的。8.WhatistheproblemaboutXiaoIce’spoemsaccordingtothelastparagraph?A.Theemotionalexpressionsinherpoemsareallpositive.B.It’squitehardtounderstandwhatherworksmean.C.Thetoneandrhythmofherpoemsarequestionable.D.Herpoemsaresorrowfulandlackcreativity.選C。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Thepoemsdissatisfiedmewiththeirslipperytoneandrhythm.”這些詩的不穩(wěn)定的音調(diào)和節(jié)奏使我不滿意。Ⅱ.閱讀填句根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Solarenergy,whichcomesfromthesun’srays,isusedforelectricity,hotwater,andcooking.Thesun’srayscomefromthefarawaysun.Whentravellingalongwayandenteringtheearth’satmosphere,itbecomesdilute(稀薄的).Asisknowntoall,solarenergyisenvironmentallyfriendly.1
