A.telldifferentsmilesB.detecthumanheadsC.examinehumanfacesD.recordfacialexpressions【解析】選A。細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第一段的最終一句:探討者研發(fā)了一個程序來檢測微笑的真?zhèn)?可知這個程序是為了推斷不同的微笑。2.Whatdidtheresearchersdointheprogram?A.Theyperformedposedsmiles.B.Theyanalyzeddifferentvideoclips.C.Theyimprovedacomputer’sability.D.Theyevaluatedaveryspecialsoftware.【解析】選B。推理推斷題。依據(jù)其次段的analyzingachangingfacialexpression,examineavideoclip和tracksthedetails,以及第三段的首句可知,這個程序是通過檢查不同的視頻來分析面部表情改變的。3.Whatresulthavetheresearchersfoundfromtheprogram?A.Smilingwitheyesisthemostimportant.B.Eyesreflectwhetherasmileisrealornot.C.Mouth,cheeksandeyesalwaysmovethesame.D.Musclesmovemorefrequentlywhenpeopledoafakesmile.【解析】選B。推理推斷題。依據(jù)第三段的最終一句可知,當(dāng)一個人假裝微笑的時候,他的嘴、臉頰和眼睛的動作是不同的。依據(jù)第四段的第一句可知,真笑時眼睛活動比假笑時頻率高10%。因此可推出眼睛能反映一個人的微笑是真是假。4.Inwhichsectionofanewspapermaythistextappear?A.Entertainment. B.Health.C.Inventions. D.Science.【解析】選D。推理推斷題。這是一篇有關(guān)科技的文章,不行能出自A項(消遣)、B項(健康)、C項(獨創(chuàng)),因此只有D項(科普)才符合文章的出處。BAsimplewoodenboxattachedto8-year-oldAlexBenitezAlvarez’swalkermadeiteasierfortheboytocarryschoolsuppliesandallowedhimtodomorethingsonhisown.“Nowifhewantstogotothelibraryandgetabookout,hecan.”saidTommyJohnson,oneofthreehighschoolstudentswhohelpedAlexBenitezAlvarez.Theirideacamefromanengineeringprojectthatpairsyoungengineerswithpeoplefromlocalspecialeducationprograms.EngineeringteamsfromShakopeeEastandWestjuniorhighschoolsdesignedmodelsofseveraldevicestomaketheirdisabledpartners’liveseasier.Someofthesimplestideaswerethemostuseful,suchasanadjustablechairtohelpachildputhisorhershoeson.Theyalsocameupwithspecialbuildingblocksthatcanhelpblindbabieslearnbytouch.Inaneducationsystemdrivenbyexams,engineeringteacherTJHendricksonsaidtheprojectgavestudentsthechancetocreatesomethingtheycouldactuallyseeforthemselves.“Studentsstoppedworryingabouttheirgradesandstartedworryingaboutfailingtheirclients,”saidHendrickson,ateacheratShakopeeWestJuniorHigh.Groupprojectsencourageteamworkandmotivatestudentsdifferentlyfromindependentprojects.Inthiscase,theprojectalsotaughtamuchneededlessonindevelopingpeopleskills.Themeetingsalsohelpedengineersaddspecialtouchestotheirfinishedproducts.AlexBenitezAlvarez,wholovessoccer,gottheMinnesotaUnitedlogoandasoccerballprintedonhiswoodenstoragebox.Theprojectencouragedstudentswithspecialneedstodescribetheirphysicaldisabilitieswhilealsoteachingengineersaboutthestrugglesoflivingwithadisability.“Everyoneintheworldshoulddothis,”saidStephanieBetley,ateacheratShakopeewhohopestoseetheprojectspreadtootherschools.“It’sforsomeoneelseratherthanyourself.”【文章大意】本文介紹了一個由青年工程師與當(dāng)?shù)靥貏e教化項目人員組成的團隊,他們設(shè)計出一些設(shè)備來幫助特別學(xué)校的殘疾人。5.Whatwasthepurposeoftheengineeringproject?A.Toshowhowspecialeducationhelpsdisabledkids.B.Totryoutengineeringknowledgelearnedinclass.C.Toimprovethelifeofdisabledkids.D.Toprovidejobstoagroupofyoungengineers.【解析】選C。細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段中的EngineeringteamsfromShakopeeEastandWestjuniorhighschoolsdesignedmodelsofseveraldevicestomaketheirdisabledpartners’liveseasier.可知,工程團隊設(shè)計設(shè)備是讓殘疾伙伴的生活更簡潔。故選C。6.HowdidtheprojectinfluencetheengineersinHendrickson’sopinion?A.Ithelpedthempasstheirexamsmoreeasily.B.Itcausedthemmorestressthantheirexams.C.Ithelpedthemputtheirknowledgeintouse.D.Itimprovedtheircommunicationskills.【解析】選B。推理推斷題。依據(jù)第四段中的“engineeringteacherTJHendricksonsaidtheprojectgavestudentsthechancetocreatesomethingtheycouldactuallyseeforthemselves.”以及“Studentsstoppedworryingabouttheirgradesandstartedworryingaboutfailingtheirclients,”saidHendrickson,ateacheratShakopeeWestJuniorHigh.可知,這個項目讓學(xué)生們有機會創(chuàng)建一些他們可以親眼看到的東西,孩子們不再擔(dān)憂成果問題,而是起先擔(dān)憂會讓托付人悲觀。由此可以推斷這讓他們的壓力比學(xué)習(xí)和考試更大。故選B。7.WhatdidBetleythinkoftheengineeringproject?A.Itdidalotofgoodstopeopleinneedofhelp.B.Itremindedpeoplenottolookdownonthedisabled.C.Itmademorestudentsinterestedinengineering.D.Itremindedpeopletocaremoreaboutthemselves.【解析】選A。推理推斷題。依據(jù)最終一段“Everyoneintheworldshoulddothis,”saidStephanieBetley,ateacheratShakopeewhohopestoseetheprojectspreadtootherschools.“It’sforsomeoneelseratherthanyourself.”可知,Betley認(rèn)為這個項目應(yīng)當(dāng)推廣到其他學(xué)校,每個人都應(yīng)當(dāng)這樣做,因此推斷他認(rèn)為這個項目對那些須要幫助的人有很大的好處。故選A。8.Thebesttitleofthepassageis______.
