7.I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.
There,a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure.Some time later,in steps the doctor,who is also a robot.He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription.I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.
This scenario(場景)is my nightmarish(噩夢般的)vision of the future,which hasn't come to pass──at least not yet.
I should say I really do like many aspects of technology.I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter.But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over.
When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line,I am thrilled.And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store,I feel like shouting:"When it comes to cashiers(收銀員),make mine human,please!"
After all,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (優(yōu)惠券) for items you are buying.Even more than that,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children,which can brighten a young mother's day.A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.
Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine.But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life.
It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.

28.What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraph?D
A.To indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient
B.To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors
C.To predict how technology can affect the we see a doctor in the future
D.To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life
29.What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humans rather than by robots?A
A.Robots are indifferent and emotionless.
B.Robots don't offer to give store coupons.
C.Robots can't do a job as well as humans do.
D.Services from robots cost less time and more money.
30.What does the underlined word"element"mean in the seventh paragraph?D
A.Humor                                B.The ability to speak
C.Methods                               D.Effective communication
31.What's the main idea of the text?B
A.Being human service cost little money.
B.The opinion about using man or machine.
C.Machines give people a lot of convenience.
D.Being human service is better than service from machines.

分析 本文作者通過描述一個(gè)全部由機(jī)器負(fù)責(zé)的診病的場景來引起話題,提出他的觀點(diǎn):雖然機(jī)器極大的方便了我們的生活,但是我們不能過分的依賴機(jī)器,人與人之間的交流絕對不能被機(jī)器替代.

解答 28-31 DADB
28.D 推理判斷題.文章前兩段描寫的是作者去醫(yī)院看病,從頭到尾全是機(jī)器人在操作,沒有一個(gè)人類,由此可知,作者描述的是將來機(jī)器人掌控我們的生活時(shí)一個(gè)可能出現(xiàn)的場景,故選D.
29.A 判斷推理題.根據(jù)第四段的作者經(jīng)歷來看,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children作者喜歡human cashier因?yàn)樗麄儠慊?dòng),有思想上的交流,故答案為A.
30.D 猜測詞意題.根據(jù)前句Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine可知機(jī)器在處理工作上效率很高,但是缺少有效的和人之間的交流,故答案為D.
31.B 主旨大意題.通過 最后一段的介紹It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.可知,人類具有機(jī)器無法達(dá)到的優(yōu)點(diǎn),所以文章主要論述了人和機(jī)器之間的區(qū)別,故答案為B.

點(diǎn)評 文章的主旨大意即是文章的中心思想.做閱讀理解題首先要明確文章的中心意思,只有明確了中心意思,那么做閱讀理解的試題才能做到游刃有余.閱讀理解的主旨大意題其實(shí)主要考查考生把握全文內(nèi)容或理解文章中心思想的能力以及分析歸納文章段落大意、重要情節(jié)、人物特征和寫作特點(diǎn)等方面的能力.文章的主旨大意明確了,若還具備分析長難句的能力,難的試題也會迎刃而解.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to tell you that I bought a Samsung smartphone from your website last week.However,after using it I have found several problems.This smartphone has a lower volume compared with China-made types.Also I can't get accustomed to it when operating it,which has caused me much trouble.Especially the news that Samsung smartphones have gotten involved in many explosions has frequently been reported by media recently.All have a bad effect on my mood.
Due to these reasons,I send it back to you in the hope that you will refund my money according to your promise.I will be appreciative if you do so.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua.
