C
“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回聲). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now... I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered in the streets and didn’t know where to go. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can’t stand his outrageous (蠻橫的) words.
All the lights were off except Father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of walking quietly into my room in my sleep and then tucking(把……裹住) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love—is second to none.
33. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a C. b-e-a-c-d D. b-e-c-a-d
34. What made the writer think of his childhood?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
35. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
36. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. In fact, the father is kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault (過錯) with his son.

Imagine you are thinking about entering a senior high school, but have questions. So you go to the school's website to find answers. A message appears on your computer and says, "How can I help?" You are not communicating with a human being, but a chatbot. It is using artificial intelligence (AI) to communicate with you. This might sound strange, but in recent years, chatbots have become an usual tool for banks and large companies around the world.
Having workers answer people's questions and complaints can be expensive. And workers canonly work several hours a day, making customers wait longer for a response (答復). So not only companies, but more schools have also begun using chatbot technology, says Keith Rajecki. He is with Oracle Higher Education, a computer software company that serves these institutions.
Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.
Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping students register (注冊) for classes to helping them ask for a few days off. Oracle is not the only company working on chatbot technology. Businesses like AdmitHub and Ivy.ai are involved in similar efforts.
Western Governors University or WGU, also received a $750,000 award to experiment with a new kind of chatbot. "We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions," said Jason Leven, the director of WGU Labs. "We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students."
Ian Jacobs is with the market research company Forrester. He suggests that technology like chatbots can work well if it is able to do what users ask of it. Jacobs says the problem will appear when cost cutting becomes an important reason for using the technology. This means schools and companies are more likely to try using chatbots for things they are not yet able to do, such as communicating in the way humans do. For one thing, there are hundreds of ways to word even simple requests. For another, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions (感情). They can't understand how humans feel, not to speak of comforting (安慰) them.
37. Which of the following is not the reason why more schools are turning to chatbot technology?
A. Schools want to serve the students better.
B. Chatbot technology can help schools save money.
C. Students are used to communicating with chatbots.
D. Chatbot technology makes students wait shorter for a response.
38. Chatbots may work well in the following situations except ________.
A. when students want to know more about a school
B. when students are wondering how to register for classes
C. when students want to have two days off because of illness
D. when students are in need of some help because a parent dies
39. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. However, not everyone is ready to consider the possibilities this kind of technology presents.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
40. What can we infer from the passage?
A. A chatbot is able to do whatever users ask of it.
B. A chatbot is a kind of completely new technology using AI.
C. A new chatbot may appear to help students to make decisions.
D. Chatbot technology has been used in both schools and companies.
【答案】37. C 38. D 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【分析】聊天機器人已經(jīng)成為世界各地銀行和大公司的常用工具,降低成本和響應時間是學校和公司轉向這項技術的主要原因之一,但是聊天機器人還不能用人類的方式交流,無法處理人的情緒;WGU要研發(fā)一個可以幫助學生做出決策的聊天機器人。
【37題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.”可知降低成本和響應時間是學校和公司轉向這項技術的主要原因之一,許多學校的目的是尋找更好地為學生服務的方法,因為學生習慣于通過Facebook或微信進行在線交流,不是習慣于和聊天機器人交流,故選C。
【38題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping students register for classes to helping them ask for a few days off”和第六段“, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions”可知聊天機器人,它可以做任何事情,從幫助學生注冊課程到幫助他們請假幾天,但聊天機器人無法處理情緒,故選D。
【39題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions…We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students."我們并不是要創(chuàng)造一個能回答簡單問題的機器人,我們正在嘗試創(chuàng)建一個聊天機器人,可以幫助學生做出決策,根據(jù)文句表達的邏輯關系,推斷空格指并不是每個人都愿意考慮這種技術帶來的可能性;故選A。
【40題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions…We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students." WGU要研發(fā)一個可以幫助學生做出決策的聊天機器人,由此推斷可能會出現(xiàn)幫助學生做決定的新的聊天機器人,故選C。
