n.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.A;2.A;3.B解析：2答案及解析：答案：1.A;2.D;3.B;4.D解析：1.细节理解题。第一段倒数第一句“withtopgradeswillbeabletoapplyfordirectentryontoBirminghamdegreeprog

rammeswithoutfirstcompletingafoundationyearwhichisaroutineforthefreshman.”可知在伯明翰大学承认高考成绩之前,中国学生需要进行一年的预科

学习之后才能进入专业课程学习。故选A。2.推理判断题。第一段第一句“TheUniversityofBirminghamisthefirstexcellentUKRussellGroupuniversitytoannouncethatitwillaccept

the"Gaokao"examforhigh-flyingChinesestudentswishingtojoinits.undergraduatecoursesin2019.”可知伯明翰大学的通告主要针对中国学生发布的。故选

D。3.词义猜测题。根据第三段划线部分句子“WewelcomepeoplefromaroundtheglobetostudyatBirminghamandChinesestudentsformanintegralpartofoureducationandresearchcommunity.

”句意:我们欢迎来自世界各地的人们来伯明翰学习,中国学生是我们教育和研究领域不可或缺的一部分。可知integral意思为“不可或缺的”,故选B。4.主旨大意题。本文介绍了世界一流大学——英国伯明翰大学从2019年起开始承认中国高考成绩,为更多的中国高水平学生提供更多到世

界名校深造的机会。即伯明翰大学对高考成绩的承认,故选D。3答案及解析：答案：1.A;2.D;3.B;4.D解析：4答案及解析：答案：1-4DCAD解析：1.词义推断题。根据下文中的dissatisfaction可推知，父亲很恼怒。2.推断题。根据第4段内容可知，作者认为发

文字信息更简单、快捷，且不必说一些客套话，发语音信息不礼貌。3.推断题。根据倒数第2段的内容可推知，处理信息要因人而异。4.主旨题。通读全文可知.本文作者主要探讨了在当今社会，我们应该使用什么样的交流方式。5答案及解析：答案：1.D2.A3.B4.C解析：这是一篇说明文。语音操

作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真。语音操作和自动化技术发展会使得机器人电话产生的问题更加严重。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的―Wearefinallywakinguptotheseverityoftheproblembys

upportinganddevelopingagroupoftools,appsandapproachesintendedtopreventscammersfromgettingthrough.Unfortunately,it’stoolit

tle,toolate.Bythetimethese―solutions‖becomewidelyavailable,scammerswillhavemovedontoclevermeans‖可知，最后，我们通过支持和开发一组旨在防

止欺诈者通过的工具、应用程序和方法，认识到了问题的严重性。不幸的是，我们的努力太少了，也太晚了。在这些―解决方案‖被广泛使用的时候，骗子将转移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知，作者认为这些―解决办法‖对于解决问题起不了什么

作用，因此作者感到很―失望‖。故D选项正确。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的―Thereasonthatrobocallsareaheadachehaslesstodowithamountthanprecision.Adecadeofdatab

reachesofpersonalinformationhasledtoasituationwherescammerscaneasilylearnyourmother’sname,andfarmore.Armedwiththisknowledge

,they’reabletocarryoutindividuallytargetedcampaignstocheatpeople.Thismeans,forexample,thatascammercouldcallyo

ufromwhatlookstobeafamiliarnumberandtalktoyouusingavoicethatsoundsexactlylikeyourbankteller’s,trickingyouinto―confirming‖youraddress,mother’snam

e,andcardnumber‖可知，机器人通话之所以令人头痛，与其说与数量有关，不如说与精确度有关。长达十年的个人信息泄露已经导致了这样一种情况：骗子可以轻易地知道你母亲的名字，甚至更多。有了这些知识，他们就能够开展有针对性的运动来欺骗人们。根据这些可知，利用这种新的技术，欺诈者们可以精确

的确定他们行骗的目标。故A选项正确。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，这项语音技术可以产生一个听起来和人类非常相似的声音，它可以和接待员进行交谈，进行预订。由此可知，这项新技术有其好的方面。根据第三段的叙述可知，欺诈者们可以利用这项新技术来进行欺诈行为。由此

推知，这项新技术既可以发挥好的作用，也可能为坏人所利用，产生不好的作用，因此可以说它是一把双刃剑。故B选项正确。【4题详解】主旨大意题。第一段提到：robocalls（机器人电话:自动拨号播放录音信息的推销电话）在未来变得会越来越严重，不仅仅是出现在你的手机屏幕

上的电话号码令人怀疑，而且你会质疑听到的声音是否是真的。第二段介绍原因：语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真。第三段介绍了语音操作和自动化技术发展会使得机器人电话产生的问题更加严重。最后两

段提出我们该如何应对这些问题。综上，文章第一段点明文章中心：机器人电话问题在未来会变得越来越严重。下文都是围绕这一话题展开的。故C选项适合作标题。6答案及解析：答案：1.D;2.C;3.C解析：1.根据第一段it’snecessarytotakeastatisti

cscoursetogettheanswertothisproblem.Takethefollowingcaseforexample…considerthisproblem…可见提出的例子是用来论证数据是否能运用于最终决定的,也就是文章的中心主题,故选D。2.根

据第三段Countlessstudiesshowthattheunstructured30-minuteinterviewisvirtuallyworthless，第六段it’snotonlyatinysample,it’snotevenasampleofjobbehav

iorbutofsomethingelseentirely.可知选C。3.根据第五段倒数第二行interviewrepresentsaverysmallsampleofbehavior,第六段Psychologicaltheor

yanddatashowthatweareincapableoftreatingtheinterviewdataaslittlemorethanunreliablegossip可知作者认为jobintervie

w是无意义的;A选项只是文章一小部分,不能代表全部;B选项的两个例子,athleticproblem是用来反证jobinterview的,文章核心还是jobinterview的问题;D选项也只是文章提到的一小部分,并且文章最后作者的recommendation是developanint

erviewprotocol…askexactlythesamequestionsofeverycandidate可知D错误。7答案及解析：答案：1.B;2.D;3.C;4.B解析：8答案及解析：答案：1.D;2.D;3.A;4.B解析：
