    The Difference between Man and Computer
    What makes people different from computer programs?What is the missing element that our theories don't yet1for?The answer is simple:People read newspaper stories for a reason:to learn more about2they are interested in. Computers,on the other hand, don't. In fact,computers don,t3have interests;there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer4is to be a model of story understanding,it should also read for a“purpose”.
    of course,people have several goals that do not make5to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide6order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals,or to 7a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry,and computers do not have business lunches.
    However,these physiological and social goals give8to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find9about the name of a restaurant which10the desired type of food,how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant,etc. These are goals to11information or knowledge,what we are call-ing12goals. These goals can be held by computers too;a computer13“want”to find out the location of a restaurant,and read a guide in order to do so14the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not15out of hunger in the case of the com-puter,it might well arise out of the“goal” to learn more about restaurants.

    9._________
    A: place
    B: food
    C: reference
    D: information

    答案:D
    解析:
    此处考查对固定搭配的掌握情况,只有account能与for搭配,意为“解释”, 其他三个选项的词都是及物动词,不与介词搭配。所以答案为C。
    分析全句,此处应填一个宾语从句的引导词,从句中缺少宾语,故应填 what,此句意为“去了解他们所感兴趣的东西”,其他三个选项均为关系副词,不能充当从句中的宾语。所以答案为C。
    此处选B项even加强语气,意为“事实上,电脑甚至都没有兴趣”。
    computer program是常见搭配,意为“电脑程序”,其他选项与句意不符,故排除。所以答案为A。
    make sense是固定搭配,意为“有道理,合理,能被理解”。整句意为“当然人也有目标,但这些目标若被归在电脑身上便不合逻辑了”。所以答案为B。
    in order to是固定搭配,表示目的,意为“为了……”,故选C。
    结合上下文语义我们得知,此处应填具有“寻找”含义的词,watch没有此含义,首先被排除,C选项后若加上for,便符合文意,search有“搜寻,查找”的含义,但一般指深入彻底地调查,只有A项find在含义和语气上都符合句意。
    从下一句便可找到答案为C项,give rise to意为“引起,导致,使发生”。
    此处句意为“找到关于餐馆名字的信息”,其他选项放此处均不合适,故选D。
    此处需填一个谓语动词,因此要弄清主语“餐馆”与宾语“食物”之间的关系,只有“餐馆供应食物”合乎逻辑,故答案为D项serves。
    上文提到了种种人生理的、智力上的、认知的目标,因为饿所以需要获取有关餐馆的信息,因而此处要填“获取”,B,C,D与文意不符。所以答案为A。
    此空依然承接上文的意思,那些目标都是获取信息的目标,都是学习的目标,答案为B项。
    此处缺一个情态动词,阅读到后半句时便很容易选出答案,此处的might 与后面as a person might相呼应,表示不确定的推测,意为“可能,也许”。所以答案为B。
    能与way搭配的介词一般只有in,表示“以……方式”,此处的含义为“与一个人可能想要做事的方式相同”。所以答案为D。
    arise out of是固定搭配,意为“起于……”,即使不知道短语的含义,看到后面又出现一次 arise out of,也应可以选出答案为A。

  • 第5题:

    What Does GMO Free Mean?

    Genetically modified organisms(GMOs)in food are concern for a number of consumers who are worried about the impact that GMOs may have on their health.As a result,many companies in the late 1990s began to apply the GMO free label,indicating that their food does not contain genetically modified organisms.A number of nations legislate labeling,and in Europe,food must be labeled to indicate whether or not it contains GMOs.In the United States,however,GMO free labeling is purely voluntary and not regulated by any governmental body or organization.
    Since it is not regulated,there has been some question about the validity of the GMO free label in the US.A number of organizations have pressured the Food and Drug Administration(FDA),as well as the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA),to enact legislation governing food labeling in regards to GMOs.Many food activists want a label that is standardized,so that consumers who are concerned about this issue can be assured about the GMO content of products they purchase.
    Most US consumers have foods containing GMOs in their home.The majority of corn and soybeans grown in the US have been modified,as have several other crops.Some research indicates that many processed foods contain GMO ingredients,so for consumers who are concerned about this issue,GMO free labeling would be helpful.
    For consumers who want to eat natural,organic foods,knowing that the products they buy are GMO free is often very important. Although there is no federal labeling program in the US,some organic farmers and natural food producers have chosen to start their own certification programs.Getting certified through such programs can be very difficult,but many producers believe consumers will be willing to pay extra for the verification.
    The harmful nature of GMOs has been questioned,especially by commercial agriculture producers and seed providers.No scientific evidence has been found to suggest that genetic modification of crops is harmful to humans. Some consumers feel that it is important to be able to make conscious choices about what they eat,however,and want the ability to choose GMO free foods if they so desire.
    Some studies suggest that GMOs may be harmful to agriculture,with cloned genetically modified species harming overall biological diversity and modified genes finding their way into wild plants and non-modified crops.This is especially true in the case of corn,where GMO contamination became a major issue in the 1990s.Other research,however,indicates that genetically modified crops can be of benefit to the environment. Plants designed to be resistant to herbicides(除草剂)and pesticides (杀虫剂),for example,have been seen to reduce the amount of these chemicals used by farmers on both GM and non-modified crops.

    Consumers will be willing to pay extra for______.
    A:the verification
    B:the packing box
    C:better taste
    D:extra food

    答案:A
    解析:

    题干意思:最后一段“这些化学物品”指的是______。文中最后一段最后一句:Plants designed to be resistant to herbicides and pesticides , for example , have been seen to reduce the amount of these chemicals used by farmers on both GM and non-modified crops.比如一些杭除草剂和杀虫剂的转基因作物就能够减少农民在转基因及非转基因作物上化学药品的用量。回答此类题目一定要在单词的前一句寻找代词指代的对象,该句中能够与these chemicals 对应的只有herbicides and pesticides。所以选择B。

    问答题
    ◆Topic 12:Fast Food  Questions for reference:  1) Fast food is a good reflection of the quick-paced modern society. What role does fast food play in China?  2) Why is fast food so popular? What are the demerits of fast food?  3) What attitude should we have towards fast food?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    Fast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food.
    There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal-saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. You just go into a fast food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready in no time. You can either eat it there or take it away. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean and comfortable environment of fast food restaurants, the excellent service, and the guaranteed quality of food.
    However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutritional value. Thus, doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible. Although cooking at home is time-consuming and the following washing-up tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs. Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while.

    Why did many companies in the late l990s apply the GMO free label?
    A:Because the label were beautiful.
    B:Because consumers worried about the impact that GMOs may have on their health.
    C:Because it could protect the food from contamination.
    D:Because it was regulated by every governmental body or organization.

    答案:B
    解析:
    题干意思:为什么在20世纪90年代末,很多公司使用不含转基因有机体的食品标签?文中第一段第一句:Genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ) in food are concern for a number of consumers who are worried about the impact that GMOs may have on their health.食物中的转基因有机体引起很多消费者的忧虑,他们担心转基因有机体会对他们的健康有害。显而易见,B选项正确。
    题干意思:美国很多组织要求食品和药品委员会______。文中第二段第二句:A number of organizations have pressured the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) , as well as the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA),to enact legislation governing food labeling in regards to GMOs.有一些组织向政府食品和药品委员会和美国农业部施压,要求政府通过法律管理食品上的不含转基因有机体标签。经过分析,发现选项C符合文中意思。
    题干意思:消费者愿意为……额外付款。通过文中第四段最后一句Getting certified through such programs can be very difficult,but many producers believe consumers will be willing to pay extra for the verification.这一认证项目的难度很大,但是很多生产商相信消费者愿意为这一纸证明额外付费。经过比较只有A选项符合题意。
    题干意思:商业农作物生产者和种子供应商质疑______。根据文中第五段第一句The harmful nature of GMOs has been questioned , especially by commercial agriculture producers and seed providers.对转基因有机体的有害性,目前还有疑问,尤其是农产品生产商和种子供应商。通过分析,选项D是正确答案。
    题干意思:最后一段“这些化学物品”指的是______。文中最后一段最后一句:Plants designed to be resistant to herbicides and pesticides , for example , have been seen to reduce the amount of these chemicals used by farmers on both GM and non-modified crops.比如一些杭除草剂和杀虫剂的转基因作物就能够减少农民在转基因及非转基因作物上化学药品的用量。回答此类题目一定要在单词的前一句寻找代词指代的对象,该句中能够与these chemicals 对应的只有herbicides and pesticides。所以选择B。
