Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobs. These researchers tinker(修补)with ma-
chines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices."They're the best toys out there,"
says Howie Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.Choset is a roboticist,a person who designs,
builds or programs robots.
When Choset was a kid,he was interested in anything that moved一cars,trains,animals.He put motors
on Tinkertoy cars to make them move.Later,in high school,he built mobile robots similar to small cars,
Hoping to continue working on robots,he studied computer science in college.But when he got to
graduate school at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena,Choset’。labmates were working on
something even cooler than remotely controlled cars:robotic snakes.Some robots can move only forward,
hackward, left and right. But snakes can twist(扭曲)in many directions and travel over a lot of different
types of terrain(地形)."Snakes are far more interesting than the cars,"Choset concluded.
After he started working at Carnegie Mellon,Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own
snake robots.Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes,such as
sliding and inching forward.The robot、also moved in ways that snakes usually don't,such as rolling.
Choset’s snake robots could crawl(爬行)through the grass,swini in a pond and even climb a flagpole.
But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well.For some heart surgeries,the
doctor has to open a patient's chest,cutting through the breastbone.Recovering from these surgeries can be
very painful.What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and
sending in a thin robotic snake?
Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati,a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School,to investigate the
idea.Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs.

I'll Be Bach
Composer David Cope is the inventor of a computer program that writes original works of classical music.It took Cope 30 years to develop the software.Now most people can't tell the difference between music by the famous German composer J.S.Bach(1685-1750)and the Bach-like compositions from Cope's computer.
It all started in 1980 in the United States,when Cope was trying to write an opera.______(46)At first this music was not easy to listen to.What did Cope do?He began to rethink how human beings compose music.He realized that composers'brains work like big databases.First,they take in all the music that they have ever heard.______(47)Finally,they make new music from what is left.According to Cope,only the great composers are able to create the database accurately,remember it,and form new musical patterns from it.
Cope built a huge database of existing music.He began with hundreds of works by Bach.The software analyzed the data:it broke it down into smaller pieces and looked for patterns.It then combined the pieces into new patterns._______(48)They weren't good,but it was a start.
Cope knew he had more work to do-he had a whole opera to write.He continued to improve the software.Soon it could analyze more complex music.He also added many other composers,including his own work,to the database.
A few years later,Cope's computer program,called"Emmy",was ready to help him with his opera.______(49)Cope listened to the computer's musical ideas and used the ones that he liked.With Emmy,the opera took only two weeks to finish.It was called Cradle Falling,and it was a great success! ______(50) Since that first opera,Emmy has written thousands of compositions,Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesn't like of her music,but she is doing most of the hard work of composing these days!

______(48)
A:By developing a computer software,David Cope aimed to write an opera.
B:Cope received some of the best reviews of his career,but no one knew exactly how he had composed the work.
C:He was having trouble thinking of new melodies,so he wrote a computer program to create the melodies.
D:The process required a lot of collaboration between the composer and Emmy.
E:Before long,the program could compose short Bach-like works.
F:Then they take out the music that they dislike.

答案:E
解析:
空格前一句表明,1980年Cope在美国开始尝试编写歌剧;空格后又表明,刚开始时这首音乐很难懂。由此可知,空格处的句子中应该有表示音乐的词汇。C项中的“melody”可以用来表示“音乐中的旋律、曲调”,而且C项表示Cope在写歌剧时遇到的问题,与空格前句子相照应,因此选择C项。
根据空格前一句的第一个单词“First”与空格后一句的第一个单词“Finally”可知,空格处的句子中应该有一个表示顺序的词,只有F项中的“Then”可以表示顺序。这三句话连用,用来解释Cope用软件来编写音乐的先后顺序,符合题意。由此可知,本题应该选择F项。
根据第三段第二句可知,Cope选择了巴赫的曲子。由此可知,软件做出来的音乐应该与巴赫的音乐类似,E项符合题意,因此选择E项。
空格前一句表明,Cope的软件Emmy已经准备好帮助他编写歌剧了;空格后一句表明,Cope听取软件之间进行意见,并根据自己的喜好来选择。由此可知,这个过程需要作曲家与Emmy这款软件之间进行的许多合作,D项表述符合题意。
根据空格前一句可知,在Emmy的帮助下,Cope花了两周时间写的歌剧Cradle Falling取得了巨大的成功。由此不难推断出,空格处应该与人们对他的好评有关,因此选择B项:

第3题:

This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.

Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.

The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some

factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more

efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next. But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.

(1)、According to the passage, our present world is under the control of ______ .

A:mad scientists

B:men and women

C:the unknown fear

D:some super-inventions

(2)、The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ______ .

A:they don't know anything about computers

B:they haven't really understood computers

C:there are so many computer games

D:computers are often down

(3)、The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ______ .

A:computers can be controlled by man

B:there should be more people devoted to computers

C:only young people are interested in computers

D:more time and energy is required to control computers

(4)、This passage is probably written to suggest that ______ .

A:some day computers can deal with all human problems

B:computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobs

C:people should not fear computers

D:computer technology will not meet people's needs in various situations

(5)、The author's attitude towards widely used computers is __.

A:positive

B:anxious

C:worried

D:serious

In Germany alone around 100,000 people die annually as a result of cardiac arrest and many of these cases___3___by disruption to the heart's rhythm. Those most at risk are pa- tients who have___4___suffered a heart attack,and for years the use of defibrillators has proved useful in diagnosing___ 5___ disruptions to heart rhythms and correcting them automat-ically by intervening within seconds. These devices___6___ a range of functions,such as that of pacemaker.
Heart specialists at Freiburg's University Clinic have now achieved a breakthrough with an implanted defibrillator ___7___of generating a six-channel electrocardiogram(ECG)within the body. This integrated system allows early diagnosis of___8___blood-flow problems and a pending heart attack. It will be implanted in patients for the first time this year. Meanwhile, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Mathematics in Kaiserslautern have developed new computer software that renders the evaluation of ECG data___9___.

3._________
A: are caused
B: caused
C: are to cause
D: have been causing

答案:A
解析:
come up with有“引起,产生,发明”的意思,符合上下文的意义。所以答案为B。
Protection后面跟介词from或against,意为“起保护作用以免于……”,其他介词均不合适。所以答案为D。
此处的谓语动词必须使用被动语态,因为主语many of those Cases指的是“病人”, “病例”,那就应该是“被引起的”,所以答案为A。
此处需要填的副词应该表示“已经”,完成时态的谓语已经起了提示作用。所以答案为D。
从上下文看,只有C项“威胁生命”合适。
take on表示“承担”,符合上下文意思,其他三个选项分别为“接受,接收 (A项)”,“效仿(B项)”和“消减(D项)”。所以答案为C。
A和B均有“能够”的意思,但用法不同:capable of(doing)sth./able to do sth.,所以答案为A。
上下文的意思是“……的血液流通问题和即将发生的心脏病”,后面这一部分为前面这个空格暗示了必须填入B项acute。
前面谓语动词renders的意思相当于make,后面要接复合宾语,这里缺少一个宾语补足语,因此只有D是答案。
A和B分别指最大量,最小量或最高值,最低值,而选项C和选项D则指多数和少数,由于前面已有overwhelming(压倒性的)提示,所以只能选C项majority。
take…into account是固定短语,意为“考虑,重视”。所以答案为B。
make use of是固定短语,意义为“利用”。所以答案为A。
四个选项中A和B均是“同样地”,C位于句首对表示“否则的话”,这些与上下文所要表达的意义均不吻合,因为前面并没有提到什么方法可以作比较,因此答案为D 项In the way“用这种方法”。
base sth.on/upon是固定短语,表示“把……建立在……基础上”,此处用过去分词的短语作为old Study的定语。所以答案为C。
此处空白需要填上一个能引导宾语从句的连接词,从宾语从句的结构来看,它的句子是完整的,所以只需填that作为连接词就可以了。所以答案为C。

But when he got to graduate school at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena,Choset's lab- mates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars:robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward,backward,left and right. But snakes can twist(扭曲)in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain(地形).“Snakes are far more interesting than the cars,”Choset concluded.
After he started working at Carnegie Mellon,Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robots.Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes,such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't, such as rolling. Choset's snake robots could crawl(爬行) through the grass,swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.
But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries,the doctor has to open a patient's chest,cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?
Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati,a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School,to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and then tested the robot in pigs.
A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people.
Even after 15 years of working with his team's creations,”I still don't get bored of watching the motion of my robots,”Choset says.

Choset didn't begin developing his own snake robots until he started working at Carnegio Mellon.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned

答案:A
解析:
题干意为“乔赛特在高中时开始制造机器人。”关键词是high school。依据 此关键词,可在文中第二段找到相关叙述:”When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved...Later,in high school,he built mobile robots similar to small cars.”(当 乔赛特还是个孩子的时候就对一切会动的东西感兴趣……之后,在高中期间,他制造了与小汽车相似的移动机器人。)由此可知,乔赛特是从高中开始制造机器人的,故此题说法为“正 确”的。
题干意为“蛇形机器人只能朝四个方向移动。”关健词组是only four directions。依据此关键词组,可在文中第三段第三、四句找到相关叙述:”Some robots can move only forward,backward,left and right.But snakes can twist in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain. ”(有些机器人只能向前后左右四个方向移动,但是蛇形 机器人可以朝很多方向弯曲,并且能越过不同类型的地形。)由此可知,蛇形机器人并不仅仅能 朝四个方向移动,故此题说法为“错误”的。
题干意为“乔赛特直到在卡耐基梅隆工作时才开始研制自己的蛇形机器人。”关键词是Carnegie Mellon。依据此关键词,可在文中第四段第一句找到相关叙述:“ After he started working at Carnegie Mellon,Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robots.”(在卡耐基梅隆开始工作之后,乔赛特和同事们开始研制蛇形机器 人。)故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“与别人研发的蛇形机器人相比,乔赛特的蛇形机器人能做更多的 动作。”关键词是movements。依据此关健词,可在文中第四段第二、三、四句找到相关叙述: ”Choset's team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes,such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don't,such as rolling. Choset's snake robots could crawl through the grass,swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.”(乔赛特团队设计的程序可以让机器人做出与真蛇一样的动作,比如滑行和向前缓慢移动。这些机器人还能做出通常情况下蛇无法做出的动作,比如旋转。乔赛特的蛇形机器人可以在草丛中爬行,在池塘里游泳,甚至还能爬旗杆。)由此可知,与那些可以朝很多方向运动,能在多种地形中前行的机器人相比,乔赛特的蛇形机器人能做出更多的动作。故此 题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“细小的蛇形机器人的应用可以使心脏手术用时减少。”关键词是 heart surgeries。依据此关键词组,可在文中第五段第二、三、四句找到相关叙述:”For some heart surgeries,the doctor has to open a patient's chest,cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?”(对于某些心脏手术,医生需要透过胸骨为病人开胸。这样的手术恢复起来非常痛苦。如果医生做这 样的手术时只是开一个小洞然后把一个细小的蛇形机器人送入身体会怎么样呢?)这里说原来 的某些心脏手术比较复杂,且恢复起来会很痛苦,但是并没有提到时间的问题,故此说法为“未提及”的。
题干意为“将机器人在猪身上测试之后,赞纳提将其在人身上进行了测试。” 关键词是Zenati和pigs。依据关键词。可在文中第六段第二句找到相关叙述:”Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and then tested the robot in pigs.”(赞纳提在一个塑料的胸部模型上练习使用机器人,然后又在猪身上测试机器人。)由此可知,赞纳提 确实在猪身上测试过机器人,但之后他有没有在人身上测试文中并没有提到,故此说法为“未提及”的。
题干意为“用于人体手术的机器人技术已经为Medrobotics带来了丰厚的利润。”关键词是Medrobotics。依据此关键词,可在文中第七段找到相关叙述:” A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology for surgeries on people.”(在波士顿,一家名为Medrobotics的公司现在已经将这项技术用于人体手术。)文中并没有提及这 项技术给这家公司带来多少利润,故此说法为“未提及”的。
