Text 2
1: Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in ________.
正确答案C:the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work
原文定位:Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty.
解题要点:本题的难度较小, 很容易辨析, 在原文与选项的对比之后发现tools 再次出现,difficult, dangerous是dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty的同义替换, 也就是换个方式把原文的意思重新表达一次, 很明显为正确选项.
2: The word "gizmos" (line 1, paragraph 2) most probably means ________.
正确答案C:devices
原文定位:As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor.
解题要点:从题型来看, 这属于典型的词汇题, 而词汇题的做题关键则是在原文的上下文中找出相应的近义词, 同义词和反义词之类, 也可以使同义表达.从后面定语从句来看,重点是remove human labor. 再从后面的几个例子中,factory, banking, subway train几个东西都是工具,得出答案。
3:题:According to the text, what is beyond man's ability now is to design a robot that can __
正确答案D:respond independently to a changing world
原文定位:"While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error," says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program at NASA, "we can't yet give a robot enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world."
答题要点:reliably interact with a dynamic world是文章中的respond independently to a changing world同义转化,并且题目中也有类似的同义替换, 如beyond man’s ability 等同于原文中的 can not yet give…
4:Besides reducing human labor, robots can also ________.
正确答案B:deal with some errors with human intervention
原文定位:But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves — goals that pose a real challenge….while we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error…
答题要点:同义替换, with human intervention替换了文中with less human supervision.
比其他一些题目更难的地方在于, 这句话无论是原文还是正确选项都有个前提, 所以必须考虑进来, 如果不考虑前提, 很有可能出现断章取义, 导致错选了A, make a few decision for themselves.
