Part 3 Reading and Writing（第三部分 读与写）
VI. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)（共50分）
A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)（共12分）
CIMON 2 is a floating computer assistant. It was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) on December
5th, 2019. It was designed to work there for three years to help astronauts.
Actually, the International Space Station is a science lab in space. Now there are six people there. Usually
astronauts stay in the ISS for five or six months. Can you imagine how boring it is to live in a tight space with just
five other people for six months?
So CIMON was created with two jobs in mind. One is helping astronauts with tasks. The other is trying to be
“someone” astronauts can talk to. CIMON stands for Crew Interactive Mobile (互动移动) Companion. It is a robot
with a face which was created by the European airplane company, Airbus. It has no arms or legs, but it can move
where it needs to go with motors inside. Helping astronauts is easy for CIMON—it can see, hear, understand, and
speak. Its “mouth” is a loudspeaker that can be used to talk or play music. The brain behind CIMON were providedby IBM, a computer company famous for training computers to understand human speech. CIMON can understand
not just what people say, but what they mean. If astronauts ask it for instructions or information, CIMON can
answer the astronauts, or use its screen to display pictures or documents, if needed. In addition, CIMON has several
cameras, which can take pictures and videos to help astronauts keep records of experiments or other important
actions.
The more difficult part of CIMON’s job is being a companion for the astronauts. The first CIMON could
understand what people were saying and mastered more than 1000 sentences, but it was limited. In one video, taken
with German astronaut Alexander Gerst, CIMON seemed to become confused as Mr. Gerst spoke with another
astronaut. “Don’t be so mean, please,” CIMON said.
CIMON 2 has been improved so that it can recognize emotions and find out how people are feeling. The goal
for CIMON is to be a calm, trusted friend that astronauts can talk to when they don’t want to talk with others. This
could be especially important if tension (紧张气氛) in a group of astronauts causes them to stop thinking clearly.
59. CIMON 2 planned to stay in the International Space Station for _______.
A. five months B. six months C. three years D. two years
60. CIMON was created _______.
A. for Crew Interactive Mobile Companion B. for the European airplane company, Airbus
C. to do a lot of research of IBM D. to make friends with astronauts
61. CIMON is very intelligent, and it can do all the following things except _______.
A. moving here and there B. training computers to understand people
C. taking pictures and videos D. understanding what people are saying
62. The underlined word "companion" in the 4th paragraph means a friend who _______.
A. works and lives with astronauts B. has the similar tastes, interests, etc.
C. runs a company D. is responsible for astronauts
63. Compared with the first CIMON, CIMON 2 has the advantage of _______.
A. becoming confused with others' talk B. understanding people's feelings
C. having limited expressions D. keeping calm all the time
64. According to the last paragraph, creators hope that CIMON can _______.
A. float in space for a long time B. help astronauts with their tasks
C. use its "mouth" to talk or play music D. help people stay calm and make good decisions
【答案】59. C 60. D 61. B 62. A 63. B 64. D
【解析】
文章介绍了一款太空机器人，实现协助宇航员工作和宇航员交流的功能。【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It was designed to work there for three years to help astronauts.”可知，CIMON 2计划 在空
间站待三年，故选C。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The other is trying to be "someone" astronauts can talk to.”可知，它是努力成为宇航员可以
交谈的“人”，也就是为了和宇航员交朋友，故选D。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The brain behind CIMON were provided by IBM, a computer company famous for training
computers to understand human speech.”可知，是IBM训练电脑理解人们，而不是CIMON，故选B。
【62题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The first CIMON could understand what people were saying and mastered more than 1000
sentences”并结合全文介绍了这个机器人需要帮助宇航员工作并和宇航员说话，可推测，CIMON是一个能
够和宇航员工作和生活的伙伴，所以“companion”指的是和宇航员工作和生活，故选A。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据“CIMON 2 has been improved so that it can recognize emotions and find out how people are
feeling.”可知，CIMON 2相较于第一代能够理解人们的感情，可以识别情绪并找出人们的感受，故选B。
【64题详解】
细节理解题。根据“This could be especially important if tension (紧张气氛) in a group of astronauts causes them
to stop thinking clearly.”可知，CIMON的目标是帮助人们保持冷静并作出正确的决策，故选D。

DETAILED REPORT OF THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE ARREST
The suspect came into Mean Street Police Station at 4:37 p.m. on Wednesday, February 15th, claiming (声称)
to have lost his car. Of course, this story did not satisfy a police officer like myself, and I ___6 7 ___ started to
question the suspect. After about 45 minutes, he changed his story, claiming that the car had been stolen. Somethingabout this story, too, ___6 8 ___ extremely unlikely and I refused to accept it.
The suspect kept telling his story. Luckily, I took a useful and ___6 9 ___ training course last weekend. So I
used the active questioning skills from the course to get the real truth out of him.
When he finally ___ 70 ___ under my questioning, he admitted that he had parked his car in a no-parking zone,
and then blown it up(爆炸). I have not yet worked out why he did this; my theory is that he is a mentally ill terrorist

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)（共12分，79题1分，83题3分）
It may seem strange to think about countries being “happy” when most of the world is fighting with the
coronavirus (冠状病毒), but a yearly report was released by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network,
which ranked the world's countries by how happy they are.
To get an idea of how happy people are, the researchers told people to imagine life as a ladder (阶梯). The
worst possible life would be on step 0. The best possible life would be on step 10. Then the researchers asked
people where they were on the ladder. They asked this question of 10,000 people in 156 different countries over the
last three years.
For the third year in a row, the report named Finland as the world’s happiest country. This time Finland was
even farther ahead of other countries than it was last time. The other top five countries were Denmark, Switzerland,
Iceland and Norway.
To help explain the results, the researchers studied several important areas, such as how much money people
make, how long they live, how free they are, how much support they get from the people around them, and whether
the government is seen as honest.
Clearly, the kind of happiness that is being measured by the report isn’t just about laughing, smiling, and
telling jokes. It’s more about how satisfied people are with their lives.
The report suggests that when people live in a place where they trust other people and the government, they
are more likely to be happy. The report’s authors describe these as “high-trust” countries.
As countries around the world face the big challenges brought by the coronavirus, the report’s authors note
that happiness doesn’t always disappear during difficult times.
Actually, in high-trust areas, disasters can often leave people with a surprising good feeling because
____________.

个信任他人和政府的地方，他们可能会更快乐。该报告的作者将这些国家描述为“高度信任”国家。
【78题详解】
根据“It may seem strange to think about countries being "happy" when most of the world is fighting with the
coronavirus (冠状病毒),”可知，因为世界上大多数国家都在与冠状病毒作斗争的时候，想起“快乐”的国家，
似乎有些奇怪。故填Because most of the world is fighting with the coronavirus.

根据“For the third year in a row, the report named Finland as the world's happiest country.”可知，根据报道芬兰
是世界上最快乐的国家，因此用肯定回答，故填Yes, it was.

根据“Then the researchers asked people where they were on the ladder. They asked this question of 10,000 people
in 156 different countries over the last three years.”可知，研究人员问人们在梯子上的位置，至少问10,000次，
故填Where they were on the ladder.
【81题详解】
根据“To help explain the results, the researchers studied several important areas, such as how much money
people make, how long they live, how free they are, how much support they get from the people around them, andwhether the government is seen as honest.”可知，为了帮助解释这一结果，研究人员研究了几个重要的方面，
比如人们挣多少钱，他们活多久，他们有多自由，他们从周围的人那里得到了多少支持，政府是否被认为
是诚实的，因此一共是五个方面。故填Five。
【82题详解】
根据“The report suggests that when people live in a place where they trust other people and the government, they
are more likely to be happy. The report's authors describe these as "high-trust" countries.”可知，人们生活在“高
度信任”国家，更可能快乐。故填When people live in this place, they are more likely to be happy.
【83题详解】
根据“The report suggests that when people live in a place where they trust other people and the government, they
are more likely to be happy. The report's authors describe these as "high-trust" countries.”可知，生活在“高度信
任”国家里，人们感到快乐，故填they are more likely to be happy.

really rewarding and educational.
At the camp, I learned a lot about digital directing as well as sound recording. I was able to make a ten-minute
movie at the end of the seven-day camp. Of course I couldn’t manage it alone. Some other campers from different
schools made it with me. We learned some useful skills together. We shared our knowledge and helped each other.
We became good friends as well. With our great efforts, we managed to make a successful film. It made us believe
that team work would lead to success.
I will never forget this amazing film camp. I look forward to another film camp next time.
