(英语)英语阅读理解练习题含答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to "read" human personalities.The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated( 复杂的 )artificial intelligence algorithms( 算法 )may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and Published in the scientific Journal Frontiers in Neuroscience."Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality," wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determines their personality traits( 特点)with "well-established questionnaires" for determining personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits, such as "neuroticism, extraversion( 外向 ) , agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as perceptual( 感知的 )curiosity", the scientists wrote."The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactionswith machines," Loetscher said."People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information," Loetscher said in a statement quoted by Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals."The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.(1) What do the underlined words "peer into" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.understandB.stare atC.search forD.concern about(2) How did the researchers conduct the research?A.It was carried out in a lab.B.42 subjects' eye movements were recorded.C.The students' daily movements were tracked.D.Its subjects' personalities were determined by computer.(3) According to Tobias Loetscher, what can we know?A.Robots and computers are socially conscious.B.People care less about improved, personalized services.C.Today's robots and computers can accustom to non-verbal information.D.The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.(4) What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Human Personality TraitsB.What Human Eye Movements AreC.Tell Personalities by Eye Movements.D.How Humans and Machines Interact【答案】( 1) A(2) B(3) D(4) C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,一项新的研究表明,由人工智能驱动的计算机和机器人可以通过阅读人类的眼球运动来“解读”人类的性格。

2.阅读理解The Hunan Satellite TV(HNTV) show "Where are we going, Dad?" is a big hit. Many famous starsbrought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their childrenthere. The program fully showed us a modern version of the "how to be a good father".As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of "Lost onthe way" played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered( 触发 )a lot of people's emotional resonance(共鸣 ). Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows like "Children are hard to support!", "Where are we going, Dad?", "hot mom"and "cute kids" are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents' confusion in children's education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continueto do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers.In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children's education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education,and where the parents will guide their children to go that "Where are we going , Dad?" shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve astheir first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.(1) In raising a child in modern society, parents should ________.(2) Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?A.Parents shouldn't entirely leave the education of children to the old.B.36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.C.The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.D.In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.(3) Which one is the best title of the passage?(4) What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second paragraph?A.Proud.B.Worried.C.Optimistic.D.Indifferent.【答案】( 1) C(2) A(3) A(4) B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,通过讲述热门节目“爸爸去哪儿”展示了现代家庭教育中存在的问题。
