A

Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public. Reporters, photographers, correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as journalists.

Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings. They cover events such as court cases，plays, and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters sometimes phone or e-mail their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A reporter in the office then writes the story.

A “stringer” is a part-time reporter who works when called upon. A fire might break out in one part of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story.

Reporters often work with photographers，or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures that illustrate (图解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to appear with the story.

A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news.

An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters' stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is the most important and gets the front-page headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue.

People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious，they like to write，and they have a “nose for news”. They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to read about.

1．The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.

The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.

Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations(建议) for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

The more interaction（交流）the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

5. How are social robots different from household robots

A. They can control their emotions.

B. They are more like humans.

C. They do the normal housework.

D. They respond to users more slowly.

6. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3

A. Communicate with you and perform operations.

B. Answer your questions and make requests.

C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.

D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.

7. What can Oshbot work as___________.

A. A language teacher.

B. A tour guide.

C. A shop assistant.

D. A private nurse.

8. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.

A. train employees

B. be our workmates

C. improve technologies

D. take the place of workers

9. What does the passage mainly present

A. A new design idea of household robots.

B. Marketing strategies for social robots.

C. Information on household robots.

D. An introduction to social robots.

（C）How to relax when you get into a traffic jam

Waiting in a traffic jam is upset, frustrating and stress-producing. 10.___ One of the most stressful occasions of the day is when you are sitting in a traffic jam.

·Repeat deep breathing as often as needed to make your heart beat slow and reduce stress. There are many times during a traffic jam that your heart can start to race.

精英中学2015—2016第一学期第十次周测考试答案

高三英语试题（应届）

一卷：ADCA BDCBD GFDBE

1.答案：A代词指代题。根据上句的People do not want to read和本句的want to可知，此处they 指的是上文中的people，也就是报纸的读者。

2.答案：D细节理解题。根据第五段的Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there可知应选D项。correspondent指的是专门负责报道某一地区或者某一领域的记者。

3.答案：C推理判断题。根据最后一段的they have a “nose for news”.They can spot news as it happens可知，记者和编辑都具有发现新闻的能力。nose此处指“感知、发现的能力”。

4.答案：A主旨大意题。该文旨在介绍新闻工作者的常见职位和职责，故A项最符合题意。

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型社交机器人“social robots”的特点和功能。

5.．【考点】本题考查考生的细节归纳分析能力。【答案】B【解析】题目询问社会机器人与家庭机器人之间的区别。作者在文章二、三段介绍了social robot会区分人的情绪是高兴还是难过；人可以和它交谈、问它问题、向它提要求；它还可以提醒老人吃药，拍照等等，说明它已具备了很多人类的能力和特点。所以B项“They are more like humans”正确。A、D项文中没提到；C项则是household robot的特点。

6.．【考点】本题考查考生的段内细节判断能力。【答案】D【解析】题目问根据第三段Jibo机器人能做什么。根据文章第三段第二句中“You can talk to the robot，ask it questions，and make requests for it to perform different tasks．(你可以跟机器人说话，问它问题，让它来执行不同的任务要求。)”及最后一句中“It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos．(它可以做诸如提醒一位年长的家庭成员吃药或拍摄家庭照片等工作。)”可知，D 项“Obey your orders and remind you to take pi11s”正确。A项中的perform operations(做手术)与原文不符；B项中的饥器人能提要求(make requests)也与原文不符(原文是人可以对机器人提要求)；C项中的deliver milk原文中没有提到。

7.【考点】本题考查考生的推理判断能力。【答案】C【解析】题目询问Oshbot可担任何种工作。根据文章第五段第二句“The company’s‘Oshbot’robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store．”可知，Oshbot用来在商店里协助售货员工作，帮助顾客找到商品，引导他们到店里的商品区。因此C 项“A shop assistant(助理售货员)”正确。

8.．【考点】本题考查考生的推理判断能力。【答案】B【勰析】题目询问我们从最后一段可以了解到社交机器人未来将向哪些方面发展。作者在文章最后一段指出：机器人并非为了要取代工人，而是要和人一起工作，“We…train social robots to do things not for us，but with us(我们训练机器人不是为了替我们工作，而是要和我们一起工作)”。由此可知B项正确——机器人将成为我们的工友。

9.【考点】本题考查考生归纳概括文章主旨大意的能力。【答案】D【解析】题目询问文章的主旨，通读全文可以看到，本文对社交机器人的特点和功能做了介绍。D选项“An introduction to social robots”与此相符，为正确答案；选项A和C谈的是家庭机器人，选项B谈的是社交机器人的营销策略，均与本文主旨无关。完形DBACD BCABD BDACA CDABC
