D.VPAsonMobilePhones【答案】27.A28.B29.C30.A【解析】这是一篇争论文。文章在开头提到了ASR（AutomatedSpeechRecognition）自动语音识别的概念，进而在下文的论述中提到了该技术在运用中存在的问题和将来的前景。【27题详解】细微环节理解题。依据题干关键词Apple’sSiri定位到文章其次段第三句Themostwell-knownoftheseisApple’siPhoneVPA,Siri.其中最闻名的是苹果虚拟助理Siri，依据下一句IfyoutellSirithatyouwanttoschedulelunchwithafriend,“she”cansettheappointmentonyourphoneinseconds.假如你告知Siri你想和挚友一起吃午饭，她可以在几秒钟内在你手机上设置约会时间。由此可得出，Siri对手机运用者的帮助意义。选项A“这是一个很有用的VPA”符合题意。故选A项。【28题详解】主旨大意题。第三段首句为本段的主题句Whilethepotentialforcommunicationbetweenahumanandamachinemayseemexciting,thispossibilityconcernssomepeople.虽然人类和机器之间的沟通的可能性看起来令人兴奋，但这种可能性使一些人担忧。本段接下来讲的就是一些人机沟通出现的问题；第四段第一句：Anotherconcernoftenassociatedwiththedevelopmentofnewtechnologyistheinvasionofprivacy.另一个担忧的问题是与新技术发展相关的对隐私的侵扰。可知，第四段同样说明的是人机交互沟通之间的问题。所以两段可以作为同一个话题来讲解并描述，即讲解并描述人机相互沟通之间的问题。选项B“ASR的潜在问题”符合题意。故选B项。【29题详解】推理推断题。依据最终一段第一句Fornow,however,thecontinuingevolutionofASRsoftwareisthrillingtobehold.然而，眼下ASR软件的持续进化令人兴奋。可以看出，尽管上文提到了ASR的运用中存在的问题，但其将来的发展是光明的。由此可知，作者对ASR将来充溢希望，选项C符合题意。故选C项。【30题详解】主旨大意题。文章在开头提到了ASR（AutomatedSpeechRecognition）自动语音识别的概念，进而在下文的论述中提到了该技术在运用中存在的问题和将来的前景。选项A“和技术对话”充分说明白文章的重点，适合作文章题目。故选A项。其次节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。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】这是一篇争论文。重量被定义为一个物体或物体所包含的物质的数量。如此多的女孩纠结于与她们身体形象相关的数字，看到如此漂亮的女孩们因为一些没有真正意义的数字而懊丧，真是令人悲伤。作者通过本文告知读者身体健康和心理健康都很重要。【31题详解】依据上文Weightisdefinedasthequantityofmattercontainedbyabodyorobject.可知重量被定义为一个物体或物体所包含的物质的数量。由此可知，本句承接上文说明体重不该被定义成什么。上文中defined可对应到E选项中define。故E选项“体重不能定义你的自我价值、理想或潜力”符合上下文语境，故选E。【32题详解】依据后文Neglectingeitheryourmentalorphysicalhealthwillcauseproblemsfortheother.可知忽视身心健康都会给对方带来麻烦。由此可知，本句是在强调要照看好精神健康。故F选项“照看好自己也包括你的精神健康”符合上下文语境，故选F。【33题详解】依据后文Itharborsallofyourthoughts,feelings,characteristics,andideas.Withoutit,youwouldn’tbeyou.可知它承载着你全部想法、感受、特征和想法。没有它，你就不是你。由此可知，本句是在说明身体对个人来说的意义是——是你特殊漂亮的殿堂，承载着你全部的想法、感受、特征和想法。故B选项“你的身体是你特殊漂亮的殿堂”符合上下文语境，故选B。【34题详解】依据上文Ifyouwishtochangeitinahealthyway,then,byallmeans,goahead.Withthatbeingsaid,don’tmakechangestoimpressorpleasesomeoneelse.可知假如你想以一种健康的方式变更它，那么，无论如何，去做吧。也就是说，不要为了取悦别人而做出变更。由此可知，上文强调不要为了取悦别人而变更，是强调自己才是唯一能限制自己身体的人。故C选项“你是唯一限制自己身体的人”符合上下文语境，故选C。【35题详解】依据后文Youaremorethanthenumberonthescale.Youaremorethanthenumberonyourjeansanddresses.Youarewaymorethanthenumberofpoundsyou’vegainedorlostinwhateveramountoftime.So,ashardasitmayseemsometimes,understandthatthenumberdoesn’tmeasuretheamountorsignificanceofyourcontributionstothisworld.可知你不仅仅是磅秤上的数字。你不仅仅是你的牛仔裤和裙子上的数字。你的体重远远超过你在任何时间里增加或削减的体重。所以，要明白这个数字并不能衡量你对这个世界所做的贡献的数量或重要性，这有时看起来很困难。由此可知，牛仔裤的尺寸并不能定义你，重要的是你的心、灵魂和精神大小。故G选项“重要的不是你牛仔裤的尺寸，而是你的心、灵魂和精神的大小”符合上下文语境，故选G。第三部分语言学问运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。“It’stimetocelebrate!”Hundredsofvolunteerswho___36___thesearchandrescueofAmandaEllerwillcelebrateatabarbecue___37___bythe“Findamanda”Facebookpage.Thepartyreflectsthe___38___andjoybeingexpressedbythefriendsandfamilyofEller,who___39___walkedintoaHawaiianforestonMay8andwasnot___40___againformorethantwoweeks.Eller,35,survivedonwildfruit,water,___41___anddetermination.OnFriday,searchersinahelicopter___42___hernearariver,andshewasairlifted___43___safetyabouttwohourslater.Ellerwassunburnedandhungry,andhadabrokenleg,butwas___44___ingoodshape.Eller,fromherhospitalbed,thankedthehundredsofvolunteerswhoconducted____45____searches.Shesaidher17daysinMaui’sMakawaoForestReservewerethemost____46____ofherlife.“Thereweretimesoftotalfearand____47____andwantingtodie,”shesaid.“Itdid____48____tolifeanddeath,andIhadtochoose.Ichoselife-Iwasn’tgoingtotakethe____49____
