The Difference between Man and Computer
What makes people different from computer programs?What is the missing element that our theories don't yet______(1)for?The answer is simple:people read newspaper stories for a reason:to learn more about______(2) they are interested in.Computers,on the other hand, don't.In fact,computers don't______(3)have interests;there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read.If a computerwe______(4)is to be a model of story under-standing,it should also read for a“purpose”.

D:count

参考解析

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。
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。
此处选even加强语气,“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。
make sense是固定搭配,意思是“有道理,合理,能被理解”。整句的意思为 “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”。
in order to是固定搭配,表示目的,意为“为了……”,故选C。
结合上下文我们得知,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选项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选项,give rise to意为“引起,导致,使发生”。
选择D意为“找到关于餐馆名字的信息”,其他选项放此处均不合适。
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serve。
上文提到了种种人生理的、智力上的、认知的目标,因为要充饥就需要获取有关餐馆的信息,因而此处要填“获取”,B,C,D项与文意不符。
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选项。
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”。
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”。
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。

共用题干第三篇How We Form First ImpressionWe all have first impression of someone、just met.But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be~of the world.Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits,Even very minor difference in how a person'5 eyes,ears,nose,or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different.In fact,your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information-the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming signals are compared against a host of "memories"stored in the brain areas called the cortex(皮质)system to determine what these new signals"mean".If you see someone you know and like at school,your brain says"familiar and safe".If you see someone new it says,"new and potentially threatening".Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other"known"memories.The height,weight,dress,ethnicity,gestures,and tone of voice are all matched up.The more unfamiliar the characteristics are,the more your brain may say,"This is new.I don ' t like this person ".Or else , " I'm intrigued(好奇的)".Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes,ethnicity,gestures-like your other friends;so your brain says,"I like this person".But these preliminary"impressions"can be dead wrong.When we stereotype people,we use a less mature form of thinking(not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child)that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others.Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history,interestvalues,strengths,and true character-we categorize them as jocks(骗子),peeks(反常的人),or freaks(怪人).However,if we resist initial stereotypical impressions,we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like.If we spend time with a person,hear about his or her life,hopes,dreams,and become aware of the person's character,we use a different,more mature style of thinking-and the most complex areas of our cortex,which allow us to be humane。The 'word "preliminary"in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.A:simplistic B:stereotypicalC:initial D:categorical
