答案与解析

Unit4Livingwithtechnology

第一部分阅读

∕∑fr-M-

第一T

A

◎语篇解读本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了进入VR影院后会获得的体验及

影院的地址、开放时间等信息。

1.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Youcansee360-degreemoviesusingaVR

headset”可知,VR影院提供可以360度观看的电影。故选Do

2.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“experiencethemovingstoriesbeyond

imagination”可知,你可以在虚拟现实电影里体验难以想象的感人故事。故选Bo

3.D推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了在VR影院里能够获得的与之前不

同的美妙的佥以及影院的地址、电话、邮箱、票价等信息,由此可推知,文章的主

要目的是吸引大家去VR影院观看电影。故选Do

B

◎语篇解读本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了李子柒通过一系列展示工业化

以前的中国四川农村生活方式的视频而一举成名,她对中国文化的热爱让她的视

频在国内外如此成功。

4.C细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Lifollowstheseasonsinhercooking...makes

foodsuitablefortheparticularClimate”可知,C项“李根据气候的变化做出了适合的

食物”正确。故选C。

5.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Muchofthepopularityofmyvideosowesto

theattractionofChineseCUItUre.”以及第五段中的"ThesuccessofLiZiqialsocomes

from...forherculture，”可知,是李子柒对中国支化的热爱让她的视频在国内外如此

成功。故选A。

6.A词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“ofbigcities”可知,这里描述的是大城市人

们的生活状况,与画线词前的“Li□ssimplePIeaSUreS”相对应,A项“嘈杂而紧张”符

合语境。故选A。

7.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中李子柒在接受《南华早报》采访时说的话可

知,她制作视频的主要目的是把压力大的人从焦虑和压力中解放出来,故而李认为,

传统智慧能够帮助人们减轻压力和焦虑,绝对不是过时的。故选Bo

C

◎语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。沃尔玛很快将在其数百家门店中使用360个

机器人清洁工,文章以此为引子才采讨了“人工智能可能对我们的生活产生巨大影

响”这个话题。

8.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sci-fimoviessuggest...robotswhoappearwith

theirhorriblequalities."和“Now...itlookslikeagiantlie...withoutevennoticingits

PreSenCe.”可知,在科幻电影中,机器人是一种可怕的存在,而在现实中,人们会忽略

机器人的存在。故选D。

9.C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“dozensofworkerswerehospitalized...ineye-

and-lung-damaginggas呵知,亚马逊物流中心的一个机器人不小心打破了一个罐

子,工人们被笼罩在对眼睛和肺有害的气体中,所以数十名工人住院治疗。故选C0

10.B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Toolswiththepower...alsocomewith

thepowertoinjure.”可知,人工智能可以减轻人们的体力劳动负担,但同时有可能产

生危害。因此作者对AI的态度是“客观的”。同时最后一段针对沃尔玛使用机器

人清洁工这件事,分别提到沃尔玛与批评人士的观点,而作者对此没有发表看法,其

态度也是“客观的”。故选B。

H-A主旨大意题。第一段提出沃尔玛很快将在其数百家门店中使用360个机

器人清洁工。结合剩余每段段首句可知,文章主要论述了“人工智能正在悄无声息

地进入我们的生活对我们的生活产生巨大影响”这个话题。所以A项切合该话

题。故选A。

D

◎语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了以人工智能为动力的机器人，

在专业冰壶比赛中展示了它们的才华,击败了专业的人类团队。

12.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“itsuccessfullybeattwoSouthKorean

nationalcurlingteams”可知,名为Curly的机器人队打败了人类冰壶队。故选Bo

13.A主旨大意题。第三段第一句是本段主旨句,点明冰壶运动的特点,由下文的

“slidesthestoneandreleasesit""SlideSdowntothetarget"和"Anopposingteamdoes

theSame”可知,本段是在讲冰壶的玩法。故选A0

14.A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句及最后一段可知,研究人员发现

Curly能够根据不同的情况做出适应的策略。故选Ao

15.D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,机器人能够观察真实世界,并相应地以精

确而有策略的方式行动,这是人工智能不断扩大应用的光明前景的一个信号。故

可推知,作者对人工智能的应用的态度是乐观的(hopeful)。故选Do

第一T

◎语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何清除镜子和水槽上的牙

膏。

过渡句。上文提到浴室里的水槽和镜子很容易脏,下文提到刷牙时牙膏很

容易留在镜子和水槽上,F项“一个原因与刷牙活动有关”说明水槽和镜子脏的原

因,并引出是牙膏导致的这一情况,符合语境。故选Fo

17.G主旨句。下文提到牙膏残留的时间越长,它就会变得越干,也就越难清洗。

一旦牙膏留在镜子或水槽上,就想办法处理掉它。因此,本段说明要趁着牙膏还没

干尽快清洗掉。G项“去除牙膏最好的建议是立即清洗”符合语境。故选G。

18.B过渡句。上文提到可以使用清洁用品处理已经残留了一段时间的牙膏,下

文提到如果一起使用它们可能会很危险,要将一种清洁用品彻底冲洗干净后再使

用另一种清洁用品。上下文之回是转折关系,B项“但不要混合清洁用品”承上启

下,符合语境。B项中的But表示转折,后一句中的they指代B项中的cleaning

supplieso故选Bo

19.C细节句。上文提到清洁牙膏残留有技巧,要涂抹溶液后,让其静置几分钟,以

使沉积物软化。C项“然后把它们彻底洗掉”与上文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选Co

20.E细节句。上文提到要用些力气处理非常顽固的牙膏,但是镜子和水槽的表

面很容易被硬物损坏,因此空处应提醒需要注意的地方。E项“因此,注意不要刮伤

表面”符合语境。故选E。

第二部分语言运用

第4≠r一-"HP-

◎语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名职业母亲,因为

疫情而不得不在家云视频办公的焦虑与压力。

21.B考查名词辨析。根据后文“apictureofmyuniversityoffice—to22the

factthatI□minmykitchen”可知,作著其实是在J⅛房,但她用了一张大学办公室照

片的背景图(background)。故选B。

22.D考查动词辨析。根据后文“I□minmykitchen”可知,作者其实是在厨房,但

是她用了一个虚拟的办公室背景,可以猜到这样做的目的其实是掩盖(hide)自己在

厨房的事实。故选D。

23.A考查名词辨析。根据“thehunger”和“infantSon”可知,她的小儿子还是个婴

儿,因此当她儿子饿的时候肯定会哭。故选A。

24.C考查动词短语辨析。根据前文可知,作者躲在厨房,用一张办公室虚拟照片

做背景来开会,又怕孩不门的哭声干扰到她的工作,可想而知,作为职业母亲,这种

会议无疑给她增加(addto)很多压力。故选C。A.推迟;B.测试;D.完成。

25.B考查形容词辨析。根据前文可知,作者作为母亲,既要照顾孩子们,又要好好

工作,身兼多职,这种劳累恐怕是职业母亲特有的。故选B。bespecificto…是……

特有的。A.文雅的C潜在的;D.反常的。

26.A考查名词辨析。根据后文“Ihaven□twanted...becauseIhaveChikIren.“可知,

作者不想让同事们觉得自己因为有孩子要照顾而不尽心工作,因此可推知作者在

众人面前希望可以掩盖自己母亲身份的职责(duties)。故选A。

27.D考查引导词辨析。根据后文“clearlyfeelcomfortabledoingso”可知,虽然作

者的男同事很显然觉得这样做会令人放松,但是作者并没有这么做。故选Do

28.C考查动词辨析。句意:我不想让同事们认为我因为有孩子而对工作不那么

投入。view...as…为固定短语,意为“认为...是...”,特合句意。故选C。

29.B考查连词辨析。根据后文“workingfromhome,Ifeelunabletocontrol

whethermychildrenare30”可知,该段一直说的是作者不想在办公室提及或展
