【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Routes部分中第一條Blue Route: Standard Route plus Belgravia and Kensington — Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Harrods, V&A Museum, etc.可知，藍(lán)色路線：標(biāo)準(zhǔn)路線加倫敦貝爾格拉維亞和肯辛頓塔、圣保羅大教堂、白金漢宮、哈羅德百貨、V&A博物館等。由此可知，如果你想?yún)⒂^白金漢宮，你應(yīng)該選擇藍(lán)色路線。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Times部分中第四條Purple Route:8:16 am-4:15 pm可知。紫色路線：上午8:16-下午4:15。由此可知，如果你選擇紫色路線在倫敦觀光，你必須在下午4點(diǎn)15分之前完成你的旅行。故選D。

數(shù)字計(jì)算題也是近幾年高考中常考的內(nèi)容，此類試題是在文章中直接表現(xiàn)出來細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)，有的要經(jīng)過具體的計(jì)算才能夠得出正確的答案。具體的計(jì)算題可以是對年代的計(jì)算、月份的計(jì)算或比例的計(jì)算等。文章中經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)許多數(shù)字，它們對解題產(chǎn)生一定的影響。解答此類試題的方法是先來理解文章的大意，然后經(jīng)過對比、分析、計(jì)算等就能夠得出正確的答案。如第三小題，根據(jù)Hop-on Hop-off Ticket Price部分中第三條Family: 64 (provides for two adults and two children)可知，家庭：64 (供兩名成人和兩名兒童)由此可知，該夫婦只需購買家庭票即可，即一對有兩個(gè)10歲和12歲孩子的夫婦應(yīng)該付64。故選C。

【題目】閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

During the winter of 1986 I was working in construction near Oakland，California. It is not unusual for construction workers’hands to become very painful during winter after working with concrete，wet wood，mud，etc. My hands were no exception that year. They were actually cracking(龜裂)open at the joints in the fingers and thumbs. So I was always conplaining about my hurting hands. I often wondered when my cracked hands would not be painful.

Stopping work because of hurting hands is simply not possible in the construction industry. You grit your teeth(咬緊牙關(guān))，keep working and finish the job—but do further damage to your hands in the process. The only break occurs on weekends. My co-workers and I used to comfort each other almost every day. The pain is similar to that of“paper cuts”occurring many times an hour.

One morning I left for work at 5：00 a. m. to pour concrete and pulled into a gas station to fuel up. As I got out of my truck，I noticed a newspaper delivery van(有篷貨車)and the driver struggling with bales(大捆)of daily newspapers. I took a second look and noticed that the man was born with arms that ended halfway down each forearm. I was amazed to see him doing a job that would otherwise require a very physically gifted person. Still，he was somewhat struggling with the large bales because his arms simply weren’t long enough to carry these bales. Instead he had to“pinch”the bales and lift them with his short and thick arms. Then I found he had difficulty tying his shoes although he had tried many times. I wondered how I could give him some help.

Paragraph 1：

On my way to the convenience store at the station，I stopped

Paragraph 2：

I came to a full stop and looked back at him as he was getting into his van.

The first time I heard the expression "Know yourself" by Socrates, I didn't realize its meaning until I go to university. I started my university life unwillingly, because I didn't want to leave my parents and university of engineering was not my dream school, too. However, I changed my mind complete after a semester. My schoolmates are from different place, some of which are really outstanding. This makes me realized there is always someone much more better capable. Since then, to know myself has become an importance part of my life. Only by knowing who I am or where I am can I really follow the right path.

【題目】 Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class, Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.

Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support. When students feel ignored or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to taper off. Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson.

Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments and sufficient time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.

The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of artificial intelligence.

【1】What problem did Professor Goel meet with?

A.Students’ questions were too many to deal with.

B.Teaching assistants were not professional at all.

C.Many students were lack of interest in his class.

D.He felt confused about how to teach online.

【2】Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?

A.grow dramaticallyB.increase sharply

C.decrease graduallyD.decline unreasonably

【3】What do we learn about Jill Watson?

A.She could answer all questions without mistakes.

B.She turned out to be a great success.

C.Her performance was remarkable all the way.

D.Her true identity was still a secret to students.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.A robot gives an online course.

B.Virtual assistant is getting popular in school.

C.Robots will replace humans in online classes.

D.One Georgia Tech’s teaching assistant isn’t human.
