7.I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.
There,a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure.Some time later,in steps the doctor,who is also a robot.He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription.I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.
This scenario(场景)is my nightmarish(噩梦般的)vision of the future,which hasn't come to pass──at least not yet.
I should say I really do like many aspects of technology.I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter.But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over.
When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line,I am thrilled.And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store,I feel like shouting:"When it comes to cashiers(收银员),make mine human,please!"
After all,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are buying.Even more than that,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children,which can brighten a young mother's day.A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.
Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine.But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life.
It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.

28.What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraph?D
A.To indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient
B.To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors
C.To predict how technology can affect the we see a doctor in the future
D.To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life
29.What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humans rather than by robots?A
A.Robots are indifferent and emotionless.
B.Robots don't offer to give store coupons.
C.Robots can't do a job as well as humans do.
D.Services from robots cost less time and more money.
30.What does the underlined word"element"mean in the seventh paragraph?D
A.Humor                                B.The ability to speak
C.Methods                               D.Effective communication
31.What's the main idea of the text?B
A.Being human service cost little money.
B.The opinion about using man or machine.
C.Machines give people a lot of convenience.
D.Being human service is better than service from machines.

分析 本文作者通过描述一个全部由机器负责的诊病的场景来引起话题,提出他的观点:虽然机器极大的方便了我们的生活,但是我们不能过分的依赖机器,人与人之间的交流绝对不能被机器替代.

解答 28-31 DADB
28.D 推理判断题.文章前两段描写的是作者去医院看病,从头到尾全是机器人在操作,没有一个人类,由此可知,作者描述的是将来机器人掌控我们的生活时一个可能出现的场景,故选D.
29.A 判断推理题.根据第四段的作者经历来看,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children作者喜欢human cashier因为他们会跟你互动,有思想上的交流,故答案为A.
30.D 猜测词意题.根据前句Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine可知机器在处理工作上效率很高,但是缺少有效的和人之间的交流,故答案为D.
31.B 主旨大意题.通过 最后一段的介绍It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.可知,人类具有机器无法达到的优点,所以文章主要论述了人和机器之间的区别,故答案为B.

点评 文章的主旨大意即是文章的中心思想.做阅读理解题首先要明确文章的中心意思,只有明确了中心意思,那么做阅读理解的试题才能做到游刃有余.阅读理解的主旨大意题其实主要考查考生把握全文内容或理解文章中心思想的能力以及分析归纳文章段落大意、重要情节、人物特征和写作特点等方面的能力.文章的主旨大意明确了,若还具备分析长难句的能力,难的试题也会迎刃而解.
