布甲蟲(chóng)的翅膀設(shè)計(jì)為指導(dǎo)來(lái)創(chuàng)建它們自己的集水表面。由此可推知，作者將重點(diǎn)放在納米布甲蟲(chóng)的一個(gè)獨(dú)特特征上，是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)這種甲蟲(chóng)是如何在沒(méi)有雨的狀況下獲得水的。故選D?！?6題詳解】推理推斷題。依據(jù)最終一段中Itseemsthatstudyingthislittlebeetlemayleadtoavarietyofbenefitsforhumans.可知好像探討這種小甲蟲(chóng)可能會(huì)給人類帶來(lái)各種好處。結(jié)合文章說(shuō)明白目前有10多億人生活在缺水的環(huán)境中，使水成為最受重視的自然資源之一。科學(xué)家們始終在找尋增加這種珍貴資源的途徑。文章通過(guò)講解并描述納米布甲蟲(chóng)可以在沙漠中儲(chǔ)存水，科學(xué)家從這種甲蟲(chóng)身上得到啟發(fā)，來(lái)獨(dú)創(chuàng)可以在沙漠中儲(chǔ)存水的技術(shù)。由此可推知，這篇文章的寫(xiě)作目的是展示人們?nèi)绾螒?yīng)用大自然的創(chuàng)建來(lái)解決全球性的問(wèn)題。故選C。CEvercalledamovietheatertofindoutshowtime?Orcalledacustomerservicecenterforhelp?Chancesareyoudidn'tspeaktoahumanbeing.YouprobablygavecommandstoanAutomatedSpeechRecognition(ASR)system.Thesetypesofsystemsareefficientmoney-savingtoolsthatallowcompaniestoaddressmanycustomerconcernswithminimumhumanintervention.Thetechnologyforsuchasystemhasadvancedgreatlysinceitsappearanceinthe1950s.Onesignificantrecentachievementisthelaunchingofvirtualpersonalassistants(VPAs)onmobilephones.Themostwell-knownoftheseisApple’siPhoneVPA,Siri.IfyoutellSirithatyouwanttoschedulelunchwithafriend,“she”cansettheappointmentonyourphoneinseconds.TheVPAcanalsoholdabasic“conversation”withasenseofhumor.However,itcanonlybesetoffwhenthehumanuserspeakscertainkeyphrasesorwords.Whilethepotentialforcommunicationbetweenahumanandamachinemayseemexciting,thispossibilityconcernssomepeople.Someexpertsworryaboutpeople’sattachmenttothesemachinesandfearthattheartofsuccessfulhuman-to-humanconversationwillbeundevelopedinyoungergenerations.Theyworrythatpeoplewon’tbeabletodisplaytherightemotionortoneinconversationsbecausetheyhaven’tbeenpracticingthoseskills.Othersfearthatmachineswilltakeoverfunctionsthatweretraditionallyperformedbyhumans,suchascustomerservice.Anotherconcernoftenassociatedwiththedevelopmentofnewtechnologyistheinvasionofprivacy.Whenpeopleusecertainspeechrecognitionapplications,theyleavebehindanaudiotrackoftheirspeech.WhenyouaskaVPAfordirections,yourspeechisoftensentandsavedtoaremoteserverforprocessing.Thisdigitalinformationmayleadtodatamining,orthecollectionoflargequantitiesofpersonaldata.Fornow,however,thecontinuingevolutionofASRsoftwareisthrillingtobehold.Askingforandacquiringinformationfromanautomatedsourcehasneverbeeneasier.Leadingcompaniesinthespeechrecognitionworldwillmakehumancommunicationwithmachinesasseamlessaspossible-inotherwords,justlikecommunicatingwithanotherhuman.27.WhatcanwesayaboutApple’sSiri?A.It’sahelpfulVPA.

D.VPAsonMobilePhones【答案】27.A28.B29.C30.A【解析】這是一篇爭(zhēng)論文。文章在開(kāi)頭提到了ASR（AutomatedSpeechRecognition）自動(dòng)語(yǔ)音識(shí)別的概念，進(jìn)而在下文的論述中提到了該技術(shù)在運(yùn)用中存在的問(wèn)題和將來(lái)的前景?！?7題詳解】細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞Apple’sSiri定位到文章其次段第三句Themostwell-knownoftheseisApple’siPhoneVPA,Siri.其中最聞名的是蘋(píng)果虛擬助理Siri，依據(jù)下一句IfyoutellSirithatyouwanttoschedulelunchwithafriend,“she”cansettheappointmentonyourphoneinseconds.假如你告知Siri你想和摯友一起吃午飯，她可以在幾秒鐘內(nèi)在你手機(jī)上設(shè)置約會(huì)時(shí)間。由此可得出，Siri對(duì)手機(jī)運(yùn)用者的幫助意義。選項(xiàng)A“這是一個(gè)很有用的VPA”符合題意。故選A項(xiàng)?！?8題詳解】主旨大意題。第三段首句為本段的主題句Whilethepotentialforcommunicationbetweenahumanandamachinemayseemexciting,thispossibilityconcernssomepeople.雖然人類和機(jī)器之間的溝通的可能性看起來(lái)令人興奮，但這種可能性使一些人擔(dān)憂。本段接下來(lái)講的就是一些人機(jī)溝通出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題；第四段第一句：Anotherconcernoftenassociatedwiththedevelopmentofnewtechnologyistheinvasionofprivacy.另一個(gè)擔(dān)憂的問(wèn)題是與新技術(shù)發(fā)展相關(guān)的對(duì)隱私的侵?jǐn)_。可知，第四段同樣說(shuō)明的是人機(jī)交互溝通之間的問(wèn)題。所以兩段可以作為同一個(gè)話題來(lái)講解并描述，即講解并描述人機(jī)相互溝通之間的問(wèn)題。選項(xiàng)B“ASR的潛在問(wèn)題”符合題意。故選B項(xiàng)。【29題詳解】推理推斷題。依據(jù)最終一段第一句Fornow,however,thecontinuingevolutionofASRsoftwareisthrillingtobehold.然而，眼下ASR軟件的持續(xù)進(jìn)化令人興奮?？梢钥闯?，盡管上文提到了ASR的運(yùn)用中存在的問(wèn)題，但其將來(lái)的發(fā)展是光明的。由此可知，作者對(duì)ASR將來(lái)充溢希望，選項(xiàng)C符合題意。故選C項(xiàng)。【30題詳解】主旨大意題。文章在開(kāi)頭提到了ASR（AutomatedSpeechRecognition）自動(dòng)語(yǔ)音識(shí)別的概念，進(jìn)而在下文的論述中提到了該技術(shù)在運(yùn)用中存在的問(wèn)題和將來(lái)的前景。選項(xiàng)A“和技術(shù)對(duì)話”充分說(shuō)明白文章的重點(diǎn)，適合作文章題目。故選A項(xiàng)。其次節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)依據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Weightisdefinedasthequantityofmattercontainedbyabodyorobject.___31___Somanygirlsarestrugglingwiththenumbersassociatedwiththeirbodyimageandit’sreallysadseeingsuchbeautifulgirlsbecomediscouragedoverafewnumbersthatdon’tmeasureanythingoftruesignificance.Yes,itisimportanttoliveahealthylifestyle.___32___Neglectingeitheryourmentalorphysicalhealthwillcauseproblemsfortheother.It’sveryeasytogetcaughtupintheideathatyou’retooheavyortoothin,whichresultsinyourmistreatingyourbodyinsomeway.___33___Itharborsallofyourthoughts,feelings,characteristics,andideas.Withoutit,youwouldn’tbeyou.Ifyouwishtochangeitinahealthyway,then,byallmeans,goahead.Withthatbeingsaid,don’tmakechangestoimpressorpleasesomeoneelse.____34_______35___.Youaremorethanthenumberonthescale(磅秤).Youaremorethanthenumberonyourjeansanddresses.Youarewaymorethanthenumberofpoundsyou’vegainedorlostinwhateveramountoftime.So,ashardasitmayseemsometimes,understandthatthenumberdoesn’tmeasuretheamountorsignificanceofyourcontributionstothisworld.Thefactthatadressdoesn’tfityoulikeyouhadhopeddoesn’tmeanthatyou’reanylessofaperson.A.Overweightandobesitymayincreasetheriskofmanyhealthproblems.B.Yourbodyisyourspecial,beautifultemple.C.Youaretheonlypersonwhoisinchargeofyourbody.D.Yourphysicalhealthmayplayanimportantpartinyourlife.E.Weightdoesnotdefineyourself-worth,ambitionorpotential.F.Takingcareofyourselfincludesyourmentalhealthaswell,however.G.It’snotaboutthesizeofyourjeans,butthesizeofyourheart,soul,andspirit.【答案】31.E32.F33.B34.C35.G【解析】這是一篇爭(zhēng)論文。重量被定義為一個(gè)物體或物體所包含的物質(zhì)的數(shù)量。如此多的女孩糾結(jié)于與她們身體形象相關(guān)的數(shù)字，看到如此漂亮的女孩們因?yàn)橐恍](méi)有真正意義的數(shù)字而懊喪，真是令人悲傷。作者通過(guò)本文告知讀者身體健康和心理健康都很重要?！?1題詳解】依據(jù)上文Weightisdefinedasthequantityofmattercontainedbyabodyorobject.可知重量被定義為一個(gè)物體或物體所包含的物質(zhì)的數(shù)量。由此可知，本句承接上文說(shuō)明體重不該被定義成什么。上文中defined可對(duì)應(yīng)到E選項(xiàng)中define。故E選項(xiàng)“體重不能定義你的自我價(jià)值、理想或潛力”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選E?！?2題詳解】依據(jù)后文Neglectingeitheryourmentalorphysicalhealthwillcauseproblemsfortheother.可知忽視身心健康都會(huì)給對(duì)方帶來(lái)麻煩。由此可知，本句是在強(qiáng)調(diào)要照看好精神健康。故F選項(xiàng)“照看好自己也包括你的精神健康”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選F?！?3題詳解】依據(jù)后文Itharborsallofyourthoughts,feelings,characteristics,andideas.Withoutit,youwouldn’tbeyou.可知它承載著你全部想法、感受、特征和想法。沒(méi)有它，你就不是你。由此可知，本句是在說(shuō)明身體對(duì)個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)的意義是——是你特殊漂亮的殿堂，承載著你全部的想法、感受、特征和想法。故B選項(xiàng)“你的身體是你特殊漂亮的殿堂”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選B。【34題詳解】依據(jù)上文Ifyouwishtochangeitinahealthyway,then,byallmeans,goahead.Withthatbeingsaid,don’tmakechangestoimpressorpleasesomeoneelse.可知假如你想以一種健康的方式變更它，那么，無(wú)論如何，去做吧。也就是說(shuō)，不要為了取悅別人而做出變更。由此可知，上文強(qiáng)調(diào)不要為了取悅別人而變更，是強(qiáng)調(diào)自己才是唯一能限制自己身體的人。故C選項(xiàng)“你是唯一限制自己身體的人”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選C?！?5題詳解】依據(jù)后文Youaremorethanthenumberonthescale.Youaremorethanthenumberonyourjeansanddresses.Youarewaymorethanthenumberofpoundsyou’vegainedorlostinwhateveramountoftime.So,ashardasitmayseemsometimes,understandthatthenumberdoesn’tmeasuretheamountorsignificanceofyourcontributionstothisworld.可知你不僅僅是磅秤上的數(shù)字。你不僅僅是你的牛仔褲和裙子上的數(shù)字。你的體重遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)你在任何時(shí)間里增加或削減的體重。所以，要明白這個(gè)數(shù)字并不能衡量你對(duì)這個(gè)世界所做的貢獻(xiàn)的數(shù)量或重要性，這有時(shí)看起來(lái)很困難。由此可知，牛仔褲的尺寸并不能定義你，重要的是你的心、靈魂和精神大小。故G選項(xiàng)“重要的不是你牛仔褲的尺寸，而是你的心、靈魂和精神的大小”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選G。第三部分語(yǔ)言學(xué)問(wèn)運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)第一節(jié)(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)?！癐t’stimeto
