it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape.Without any further directives(指示)，the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it.But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it.In this way，the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.Quixote would work best on a robot that has a very limited function.Its a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots.We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society，and in doing so，it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior.Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。童话故事不但可以娱乐孩子们，还能让机器人拥有道德观念，使其更好地为人类服务。1What function do fairy tales perform in the robots?AThey entertain robots.BThey highlight dangers.CThey make robots more intelligent.DThey enable robots to behave morally.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI(artificial intelligence) can take to its cold，mechanical heart”可知，童话故事可以作为道德经验让人工智能机器人的行为符合道德规范，故D项正确。2What is “Quixote” in the text?AA punishment system.BA character in literature.CA big name in technology.DA kind of software educating robots.D细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“This system is called QuixoteIt collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave”可知，这个系统被称为“Quixote”；它从互联网上收集故事情节，然后用这些故事来教育机器人如何规范行为，由此可知，Quixote是一种教育机器人的软件，故D项正确。3What does the designer expect robots to do in the experiment?ATo take advantage of its privilege.BTo finish the task most efficiently.CTo perform in a wellmannered way.DTo be rewarded by the storekeeper.C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society，and in doing so，it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior”可推知，设计者希望机器人在实验中的行为能符合道德规范，故C项正确。4Which of the following can best express the authors opinion?ARobots will definitely have more functions.BRobots with humans emotions are perfect.CTraining robots to be socially acceptable is necessary.DThe development of robots is still in a baby step.C观点态度题。根据第四段中的“We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society，and in doing so，it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior”可知，我们认为人工智能必须接受培训以适应特定社会的价值观，这样做，它将努力避免不可接受的行为。据此可推知，训练机器人让其行为符合社会规范是必要的，故C项正确。B(2019安徽省示范高中模拟)Have you ever wondered when dogs first became “mans best friend” and the worlds favourite pet? If you have，then youre not alone.When and where dogs first began living side by side with humans are questions that have stirred hot debate among scientists.There are a few hard facts that all agree on.These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated(驯化) by humans.They came into human lives some 15,000 years ago，before the dawn of agriculture.Beyond that，there is little agreement.The earliest bones found that are unquestionable dogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago.However,30,000 yearold skulls have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolves and some scientists think could be dogs.With such puzzling evidence，many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated.In one research project，tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world.The plan is to compare them with those of wolves.Its even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones.Tiny pieces of the 30,000yearold skulls mentioned earlier are currently being studied，and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice fields evolved from Asian wolves，not American ones.Indeed，the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs.Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years，their current distribution may tell us very little of their origins.This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia，Mongolia，Siberia，Europe or Africa.But why were the animals domesticated in the first place? The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves，initially living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out.Today，this is a way of life still shared by three quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，狗是从狼驯化而来的，早在一万五千年之前狗就进入了我们的生活。科学家通过分析DNA去查证狗最初是在何时何地被驯养的。5Which is the only statement generally agreed on by scientists studying dogs?ADogs originally were used as farm animals.BDogs evolved from wolves found in Europe.CDogs helped the development of agriculture.DDogs were the first animal to be kept as pets.D细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Have you ever wondered when dogs first became mans best friend and the worlds favourite pet”，再结合倒数第二句可知，狗是第一种被人类驯养成宠物的动物，故D项正确。6Why does the writer first mention the 30,000yearold animals skulls?ATo show that dogs were much larger in the past.BTo prove that dogs developed from Asian wolves.CTo suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlier.DTo argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium.C推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“However，30,000yearold skulls have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolves and some scientists think could be dogs”可知，在法国和比利时已经发现了3万年前的头骨，它们不完全是狼的，科学家认为有一些可能是狗的。据此可推知，该处提及三万年前的头骨旨在说明狗的进化历史更早，故C项正确。7How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska?ABy analyzing the age of their bones.BBy examining the animals DNA.CBy studying the shape of their skulls.DBy comparing them with modern dogs.B细节理解题。根据第三段尾句中的“another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice fields evolved from Asian wolves，not American ones”可知，科学家是通过检测DNA的方法来判断阿拉斯加狗的起源的，故B项正确。8Why did dogs start living with humans?ABecause they were attracted by food.BBecause they were trapped by humans.CBecause they couldnt survive in the wild.DBecause they were trained to protect villages.A推理判断题。根据尾段第二句“The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves，initially living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out”可知，最近的一种说法是，狗是自己驯养自己的，最初生活在我们古老的村庄里或周围，吃人们扔掉的食物。据此可推知，狗和人生活在一起的原因是它们被食物所吸引，故A项正确。.阅读七选五(2019武汉市调研测试)Many people struggle with saying “No”_1_ Remember，just because you can do something does not mean it is required.

The food alone is well worth the trip since the French basically invented fine cuisine.They also invented a little golden liquid called the Champagne! Just before your first sip，look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their“cheers”： votre sant！Is it just us，or is the Italian treat called prosecco sweeping the nation by storm? Its lovely anytime: brunch，to celebrate something，or just to slowly sip while catching up with a dear friend.It originated in Italys Veneto region but is now available all over the world.When in Italy，the most common toast is “cin cin”， which has its origins in China.However，do not use this as a toast in Japan.It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country.If you find yourself in the land of Japan，stick with “kampai”， which means “cheers！”If you havent been to Irelandwhat are you waiting for? Its the friendliest place，and one of the funniest on the planet，and the pubs are full of stories，where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinness.The Irish language can be a bit tricky for visitors to grasp but，again，practice makes perfect.Simply say，“Slinte mhath.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在法国、意大利、日本和爱尔兰如何表达“干杯”。1What is the French way of saying “Cheers”？AA votre sant.BCin cin.CKampai.DSlinte mhath.A细节理解题。根据第二段尾句“Just before your first sip，look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their cheers： votre sant！”可知，在法国，干杯时说“ votre sant”，故A项正确。2What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AThe Italian wine.BA toast from China.CA Japanese custom.DA French expression.B代词指代题。根据第三段第四、五句“When in Italy，the most common toast iscin cin， which has its origins in China.However，do not use this as a toast in Japan”可知，意大利常见的祝酒词是“cin cin”，起源于中国；然而在日本，不要把这个当作祝酒词。结合该句“It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country”可知，这种起源于中国的祝酒词可能让你被赶出酒吧；据此可知，It指代源于中国的祝酒词，故B项正确。3What can we learn about Ireland from the text?AIt is famous for food.BIts language is simple.CIt makes perfect wine.DIt is well worth visiting.D推理判断题。根据尾段第二句“Its the friendliest place，and one of the funniest on the planet，and the pubs are full of stories，where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinness”可知，爱尔兰是最友好的地方，也是世界上最有趣的地方之一，酒吧里充满了故事，在那里当地人和游客聚在一起举杯畅饮。据此可以判断，爱尔兰值得一游，故D项正确。4Whats the main purpose of the text?ATo introduce the worldfamous wine.BTo show how to make friends in bars.CTo give suggestions on drinking regionally.DTo recommend some famous travel destinations.C写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文第一段尾句“To help you have fun，weve rounded up how to say Cheers！ around the world”为文章的主题句，结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了在不同国家和地区说“干杯”的方式；据此可以判断，本文旨在介绍在不同国家和地区如何说“干杯”，故C项正确。B(2019陕西省部分学校摸底检测)In the story of The Crow and the Pitcher from Aesops Fables，a thirsty crow(乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.Now scientists have evidence to back up that story.Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement(排水量) work to their advantage，experiments show.The results suggest that the birds are，at least in some aspects，as smart as firstgraders.Researchers，led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge，presented six crows with tubes containing water.Inside the tubes，a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating，just out of reach of the crow.In front of the tubes，the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink，and some plastic objects that would float.The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.However，the_birds_handled_awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack，the researchers said.Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube.The crows obviously didnt realize this，and most of them went for the wide tube first.Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks.In a 2011 study，chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.【语篇解读】本文介绍了科学家通过实验对乌鸦智商的研究。5How did the crows get the snack in Sarahs experiment?ABy breaking the tube.BBy dropping in erasers.CBy standing on the wood.DBy removing the wood.B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack”可知，乌鸦能够把橡皮擦扔到管里，使水位升高，然后吃到零食。所以选B项。6What does the author mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in Paragraph 4?AThey were unable to tell different shapes.BThey dropped objects only into narrow tubes.CThey were not aware of the snack at first sight.DThey mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.D推理判断题。从第四段可知，实验中的乌鸦在面对粗细不同的管子时，虽然只需往细管里投两次物体就可以够到零食，而需往粗管里投大约七次物体才能够到零食，但是乌鸦往往先去粗管那边，而没有选择更容易获得零食的细管。由此可推知，画线部分是说它们通常没有选择更容易的方式以得到零食。7What does the text mainly focus on?AStories of Aesops Fables.BThe development of crows.CCrows intelligence.DHumananimal communication.C主旨大意题。根据第二段最后一句“The results suggest that the birds are，at least in some aspects，as smart as firstgraders”以及下文中的实验可知，整篇文章都是围绕乌鸦的智商问题来展开的。8What do we know about crows in the passage?ACrows are almost as clever as firstgraders in some respects.BCrows understand water displacement completely.CChimps and children are much smarter than crows.DThe story of The Crow and the Pitcher lacks evidence.A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The results suggest that the birds are，at least in some aspects，as smart as firstgraders”可知，乌鸦在一些方面几乎跟一年级学生一样聪明。.阅读七选五(2019辽宁省五校协作体联合模拟)How to Overcome DepressionSuffering from depression means more than just dealing with a bad week or even a bad month.Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily life.To overcome your depression，you have to first determine if what youre feeling are the symptoms of depression._1_ While medications can help relieve these symptoms，it is still important for depressed people to understand the disorder and develop healthier strategies for coping with it.Keep yourself busy.
