I feel it important for families to have regular meals together. One of my best childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. As a result, last year I decided that the entire family would have dinner together three days a week. Because my husband and I both work and our three kids are busy with school activities, we could hardly have a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it possible for everyone to set aside three evenings a week for a sit-down dinner.
First we tried setting three fixed days for our experiment Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. After trying the plan some weeks, almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea of having everyone post his or her schedule for the week on the fridge every Sunday. I would choose the three best days.
For a while, the kids continued to resist (抵触) the idea, saying they would rather spend the time with their friends or joining in sports or other activities, But with time going on, they began to see these evenings together positively. We discussed each other’s, problems. We made vacation plans. We laughed a lot. Months later, anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful.
We all now feel that we’ve been able to build stronger relationships within the family and communicate better. The idea of having regular family meals together, which seemed difficult at first, has brought about many positive changes in our lives.
4. What made the writer decide to have regular family meals together
A. Her good childhood memory. B. Her kids’ needs for help.

Most people will have 28 permanent teeth by the time they are 12 years old.
For some people, four more permanent teeth arrive by their 25th. birthday. They are called wisdom teeth (智齿). But these teeth don’t make you smart! Sometimes they bring you pain. If a wisdom tooth brings you too much pain, you should go to a dentist (牙医) and have it pulled out.

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. But, in some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness. Also some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all
British education expert, Anthony Seldon thinks so, And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He believes robots will do the main. job of transferring (传递) information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will transfer the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy (共情) and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than, no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 —16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult. and lower-paid job and they feel overworked. That problem could be part solved by robots.
Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers ” but “How can robots help teachers ” Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
12. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. Drawing a conclusion. B. Giving an answer.
C. Presenting an example. D. Introducing the topic.
13. Why are robot teachers necessary
A. Because robot teachers cost less. B. Because robot teachers teach better.
C. Because there aren’t enough teachers. D. Because there are already robot doctors.
14. How is a robot expected to help a teacher by the author
A. By answering emails. B. By marking homework.
C. By reading students’ faces. D. By analyzing brain signals.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Illness Diagnosing B. Robot Teachers C. Information Transferring D. Education Problems
【答案】12 D 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了机器人在教育方面的应用以及机器人老师的作用。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. But, in some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing(诊断)illness. Also some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all (如果你想到机器人永远无法做的工作，你可能会把医生和教师排在名单的首位。但是，在某些情况下，它们在诊断疾病方面已经比医生表现得更好了。此外，一些患者可能会觉得与机器分享个人信息比与人分享更舒服。机器人到底能在教育中占有一席之地吗？)”可推知，第一段的作用是为了引入话题。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 —16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school.(在世界上的一些地方，没有足够的教师，9到16%的14岁以下儿童没有上学)”可知，需要机器人老师是因为教师资源不足。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.(教师在非教学工作上浪费了大量时间，包括每周超过11个小时的批改作业。如果机器人能减少教师批改作业和写报告的时间，教师就会有更多的时间和精力从事人类最擅长的工作)”可知，机器人可以帮助老师批改作业。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Could there be a place for robots in education after all (机器人到底能在教育中占有一席之地吗？)”和第二段“British education expert, Anthony Seldon thinks so, And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He believes robots will do the main. job of transferring (传递) information and teachers will be like assistants.(英国教育专家安东尼·塞尔登是这么认为的，他甚至为机器人接管教室定下了日期:2027年。他认为机器人将承担主要工作。传递信息和教师的工作将像助手一样)”结合文章主要介绍了机器人将扮演教师的角色。B选项“机器人教师”最符合文章标题。故选B。

I feel it important for families to have regular meals together. One of my best childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. As a result, last year I decided that the entire family would have dinner together three days a week. Because my husband and I both work and our three kids are busy with school activities, we could hardly have a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it possible for everyone to set aside three evenings a week for a sit-down dinner.
First we tried setting three fixed days for our experiment Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. After trying the plan some weeks, almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea of having everyone post his or her schedule for the week on the fridge every Sunday. I would choose the three best days.
For a while, the kids continued to resist (抵触) the idea, saying they would rather spend the time with their friends or joining in sports or other activities, But with time going on, they began to see these evenings together positively. We discussed each other’s, problems. We made vacation plans. We laughed a lot. Months later, anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful.
We all now feel that we’ve been able to build stronger relationships within the family and communicate better. The idea of having regular family meals together, which seemed difficult at first, has brought about many positive changes in our lives.
4. What made the writer decide to have regular family meals together
A. Her good childhood memory. B. Her kids’ needs for help.
C Her husband’s advice. D. Her son’s idea.
5. How many kids does the writer have
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
6. When did the family members post their weekly schedules
A. On Mondays. B. On Wednesdays. C. On Fridays. D. On Sundays.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. To Keep Positive, Talk More Often B. To Stay Healthy, Have More Sports
C. The Kids That Are Often Busy Feel Happy D. The Family That Eats Together Stays Together
C
The tooth is the hardest part of your body. Your teeth help you in many ways. For example, they can help you talk. They can also help you have a great smile. And the most important job of your teeth is to chew (咀嚼) your food. But do you know how your teeth grow
When you are born, you don’t have any teeth. About 8 months later, small teeth begin to appear one by one. These teeth are called baby teeth. They are also called milk -teeth. You won’t have baby teeth forever. They usually begin to fall out when a child is about 6 years old. Then, permanent (永久的) teeth begin to appear. These teeth are larger and more powerful. Most people will have 28 permanent teeth by the time they are 12 years old.
For some people, four more permanent teeth arrive by their 25th. birthday. They are called wisdom teeth (智齿). But these teeth don’t make you smart! Sometimes they bring you pain. If a wisdom tooth brings you too much pain, you should go to a dentist (牙医) and have it pulled out.
8. Which part of your body is the hardest
A. The nose. B. The tooth. C. The leg. D. The hand.
9. The most important job of your teeth is________.
A. to prepare food. B. to cook food C. to chew food D. to protect food
10. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Baby teeth. B. Adult teeth. C. False teeth. D. Big teeth.
11. According to the text, what should you do if a wisdom tooth brings you too much pain
A. Go to a dentist and have it brushed. B. Go to a dentist and have it pulled out.
C. Go to a dentist and have it cleaned. D. Go to a dentist and have it examined.

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. But, in some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness. Also some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all
British education expert, Anthony Seldon thinks so, And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He believes robots will do the main. job of transferring (传递) information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will transfer the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy (共情) and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than, no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 —16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult. and lower-paid job and they feel overworked. That problem could be part solved by robots.
Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers ” but “How can robots help teachers ” Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
12. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. Drawing a conclusion. B. Giving an answer.
C. Presenting an example. D. Introducing the topic.
13. Why are robot teachers necessary
A. Because robot teachers cost less. B. Because robot teachers teach better.
C. Because there aren’t enough teachers. D. Because there are already robot doctors.
14. How is a robot expected to help a teacher by the author
A. By answering emails. B. By marking homework.
C. By reading students’ faces. D. By analyzing brain signals.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Illness Diagnosing B. Robot Teachers C. Information Transferring D. Education Problems
