语篇解读:本文一篇说明文。文章介绍了新加坡南洋理工大学研究团队制作了一款能表达基本情感且有一定的社交能力的类人机器人Nadine。
1.called 考查非谓语动词。句意:该机器人名叫Nadine,由这所大学的一个研究团队制造。分析该句结构可知,动词call和其逻辑主语The robot之间为动宾关系,故用其过去分词作后置定语。
2.sadness 考查名词。根据该句中的“anger and”可知,空处与名词“anger”对应,也应当用名词形式。
3.depending 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,动词depend和其逻辑主语The robot之间为主谓关系,故用其现在分词形式。
4.an/the 考查冠词。句意:她装有和苹果的Siri相似的内置软件,该软件在iPhone中运行。iPhone为可数名词,且该处可以表示泛指,也可以表示特指。
5.has met 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:Nadine不但能记住以前遇到的人,还能记得她在更早的交谈中讲过的话。根据语境以及该句中的时间状语“before”可知,该句应用现在完成时,主语she为单数且与meet为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用主动形式,故填has met。
6.earlier 考查形容词的比较级。句意参见上题解析。根据句意可知,该处指“更早的交谈”,故用形容词的比较级。
7.are being equipped 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:然而,越来越多的机器人正在被配备社交功能。由语境可知,此处表示现阶段正在进行的动作,应用现在进行时,又因该句主语robots为复数且和动词equip之间为被动关系,故用现在进行时的被动语态。
8.with 考查介词。句意:随着人口正在老龄化,这会变得很重要。分析句子结构可知,该句使用了with复合结构,with的宾语是our population,现在分词短语becoming older作with的宾语补足语。
9.has 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:最近,Nadine拥有了一份在该大学做接待员的工作,在那里她回答学生和其他参观人员提出的问题。该句主语为Nadine,为单数形式,故谓语动词用单数;根据该句中的“Currently”可知,该句陈述的是现在的情况,应用一般现在时。
10.where 考查定语从句。句意参见上题解析。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the university,在从句中作地点状语,故用where来引导该从句。
