Unit 1 Friendship李仕才一、閱讀理解。You use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot（虛擬聊天機器人）.Xiaoice, Microsofts latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice, Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis（表情符號） in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBMs latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australias Deakin University, answering students questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apples Siri and Amazons Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a Samantha, the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha has a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix.

persists”I _1_ them years ago as a college student，sitting in the library，_2_，working on a paper.Out of nowhere，those words came _3_ off the page in a quote(引語)：“In the midst of death life persists，in the midst of _4_ truth persists，in the midst of darkness light persists.”Suddenly I wasn't unhappy and impatient any more.Then I _5_ my granddad.I loved to talk with him.And I was _6_ to hear what he'd think of it.He had poor hearing，so I had to _7_ it a few times，but once he _8_ it，he laughed.“All I can say to that is totally _9_，” he said on the phone.I told him how glad I was，after a long winter，to finally see spring and _10_ to find that quote.“Why is that？” he asked.“Well，spring is a sure _11_ that life persists.And it just makes me _12_.”He laughed again，and then _13_ his lovely voice，he recited for me his _14_“spring time” words：“The desert shall rejoice(高興)，and _15_ as the rose does.even with joy and singing.”Many years later，_16_ my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming(盛開的)cactuses，I could _17_ hear my granddad laughing：“The desert shall rejoice.”Life persists，and so do we，in the silence of _18_ and the blooming of cactuses；and in the dead of _19_ and the green of spring.Spring _20_ us that we're alive forever.1A.looked for Bhappened onCpicked out Dmade up2A.bored BconcentratedCtired Dconfused3A.running BdancingCrushing

BassuresCreminds Dstrikes【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章，講述的是作者有感于春天的活力，從偶然讀到的一段話聯(lián)想到生命的意義與堅持。生命長存于漫漫沙漠的植物中，長存于冬去春來的綠意中。冬去春來，生命依然長存，而我們也要繼續(xù)前行。1B根據(jù)語境可知，幾年前坐在大學(xué)的圖書館里作者偶然遇到這兩個單詞“Life persists”。happen on“偶然遇到或發(fā)現(xiàn)”，符合語境。pick out“挑選，辨別出”；make up“編造”。2A根據(jù)下文中的“Suddenly I wasn't unhappy and impatient any more”可知，作者當時在圖書館里的心情是很煩悶的。故選bored“厭倦的，煩悶的”。3B這兩個詞突然從書頁上的引語中躍入作者的眼簾。dancing在此形象生動地描述了這兩個詞所富含的美好活力以及作者遇到它們的偶然性。4D在死亡中，生命依然堅持；在謊言中，真理依然長存；在黑暗中，光明依然永駐。根據(jù)句中的death與life, darkness與light的對應(yīng)關(guān)系可知，此處應(yīng)填truth的反義詞。untruth“虛假，不真實”，符合語境。accusation“控告”；suspicion“懷疑”。5A根據(jù)下文中的“on the phone”可知，作者給爺爺打電話。call“(給)打電話”，符合語境。visit“看望，拜訪”；consult“咨詢”；inform“告知”。6D根據(jù)語境及上文中的“I loves to talk with him”可知，作者很想聽到爺爺(對這句話)是怎么看的。desperate“極想，渴望”。patient“耐心的”；upset“不安的”。7C根據(jù)上文中的“He had poor hearing，so I had to”和下文中的“a few times”可知，爺爺?shù)穆犛X不靈，所以作者不得不多次重復(fù)(repeat)這句話。copy“抄寫”；print“打印”；recite“背誦”。8A但是一旦作者的爺爺明白(got it)了，他就笑了起來。make it“獲得成功，準時到達”。9C根據(jù)上文中的“l(fā)aughed”和下文中作者的爺爺所背誦的語句與該句話的主題的一致性可知，作者的爺爺對這句話所表達的主題是完全同意的。puzzlement“疑惑”；scepticism “懷疑”；agreement“贊同，同意”；disapproval“反對，不贊成”。10B作者告訴爺爺她在漫長的冬天過后，最終看到春天，特別是偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)這句引語，自己是有多高興。especially“特別，尤其”，符合語境。practically“實際地，差不多”；obviously“明顯地”；naturally“自然而然地”。11D春天就是一個可信的跡象，它表明生命是長存的。sign“跡象，征兆”符合語境。inspiration“鼓舞人心的人(或事物)”。12C根據(jù)上文中的“I wasn't unhappy”，下文中的“rejoice(高興)”“joy”及文章的主題可知，這句話使作者感到開心(merry)。astonished“震驚的”；energetic“精力充沛的”。13A作者的爺爺又笑了笑，然后用他那悅耳的嗓音為作者背誦了他最喜歡的語句。in.voice是固定搭配，表示“以的嗓音”。14D參見上題解析。impressive“給人印象深刻的”；superb“極佳的，質(zhì)量極高的”；classical“經(jīng)典的”；favorite“最喜歡的”。15B沙漠應(yīng)該高興，像玫瑰一樣盛開。根據(jù)空后的“as the rose does”可知，flower“開花”符合語境。16B多年后，當作者和丈夫驅(qū)車穿越一個有很多野花和盛開的仙人掌的沙漠時，她幾乎又聽到了爺爺笑著說“沙漠應(yīng)該高興”。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處在此引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，且在從句中作時間狀語，故選when。17C參見上題解析。almost“幾乎，差不多”，符合語境。18D根據(jù)空后的“the blooming of cactuses.”和上文中的“a desert with many wildflowers and blooming(盛開的)cactuses”及“The desert shall rejoice”可知，生命長存，同樣的，我們也要堅持。生命長存于寂靜的沙漠(desert)中和盛開的仙人掌里。19Ain the dead of winter“在隆冬，在嚴冬”?？涨暗膁ead形象地表現(xiàn)出了冬季萬物蕭條的景象，與春季的綠意及萬物復(fù)蘇的景象形成鮮明的對比。20C春天提醒我們，我們永遠充滿活力。convince“使相信”；assure“使確信”；remind“提醒”；strike“突然想到”。四、單句改錯1If we let this situation go as it is，our environment
