正确答案：D

本题解析：

本段主旨出现在首句Since moving from the page and screen toreal life，robots have been a mild disappointment.“从书本和屏幕里到现实生活中，机器人不免有点令人失望。”本段最后一句再次指出：So although they fascinate people，they have not yet made much of a mark on the world．“尽管人们喜爱机器人，但是它们还未在世界上留下很多印迹。”而倒数第二句还提到：robots are slill pretty slupid“机器人还不够智能”，所有这些都在告诉我们该段大意：如今的机器人还不够先进。只有[D]项Robots Today Are Nol Impressive Enough“如今的机器人还不够令人印象深刻”与之相符，故本题答案为[D]。

本题解析：

例证题。定位到第一段。文章首段举例一般是为了引出主题。首段提到Betty Friedan写的有关家庭主妇的句子，接着第二段提到mothers who did not work outside the home“在家庭外没有工作的母亲”=housewife“家庭主妇”；随后几段提到的stay-at．Home mothers“待在家的母亲”=housewife“家庭主妇”：由此得知housewife为全文的话题。故提到Betty Fnedan是为了引出有关家庭主妇的话题，即[C]项正确。

Text 2"It can't be that every annual salary negotiation makes it a strain just to begin the school year,"said President Cristina Ferndndez de Kirchner during a speech to Congress on March lst.Yes it can.Strikes ihis week delayed the stan of classes in 19 0f Argentina's 24 districts,after provincial unions and govemments failed to reach agreements about wage rises.Negotiations between the national government and federal unions,which are meant to set a minimum benchmark for the provinces,also foundered.With some unions demanding more than 40%hikes,the national govemment and Buenos Aires's provincial government,the most influential negotiators,offered increases of just 22%and 25.5%Lhis year respectively.The unions called the proposals"a provocation".Tension had been expected.The teachers'unions want salary rises above Argentina's galloping inflaLion rate.Since the start of the year the government has devalued the Argentine peso by over 20%,causing inflation expectations to spike.According Lo Eduardo Levy Yeyati of Elypsis,a consultancy,prices are expected to jump by 32qo this year.And now that the government has started publishing more realistic data,it cannot simply pretend the problem of rising prices does not exist.The teachers'unions have a strong hand.In December provincial police squeezed 35%-100%pay increases out of their employers.Public-sector employees are noL fearful of losing their jobs.Strikes give unions the power to cause widespread chaos.But the government cannot afford to concede too much ground.The negotiations with the teachers will set a precedent for salary talks with other uruons scheduled for later this month and Apnl.To ensure that inflation does not continue to accelerate,the authorities need to curb real wages.Budgetary considerations also play their part.According to Economfa&Regiones,a research group,if the provinces were to grant 30%raises to their 2m employees,that would double their collective fiscal deficit,That may nonetheless be what happens.In the five jurisdictions that were able to reach accords,the teachers and the provinces agreed to increases of around 30%.That wouldn't do much to bring down inflation,but it would at least help keep it from skyrocketinS.And it would mean the school year can begin.

语义题。根据该词的上下文可以进行分析，原文指出That wouldn't do much to bring doWn inflation,but it would at least help keep it from skyrocketing.”这对降低通货膨胀起不到什么作用，但至少能不让它____。”由于出现but-词，我们知道上下文必有相反信息，或者反义词，根据背景我们知道，空缺处填人信息为“上涨”，即为skyrocket-词的大概意思，四个选项中，表示“上涨”的是surge“猛涨，猛增”一词，故[D]为答案。

Text 3 The past five years have been a bad time to be a taxpayer in Europe.Across the continent,govemments have relied heavily on tax rises to cut budget deficits,increasing the total burden by almost 5%of GDP in France and Greece.But rather than raise taxes any further,many countries are startin8 to cut them.The European Commission reckons that the euro zone's tax-to-GDP ratio stabilised in 2013 and is now falliry;.In January France announced plans to cut payroll taxes by 30 billion.This month Italy unveiled income-tax cuts worth 10 billion for those earning less than 25,000 a year.This week Britain proposed tax cuts for most people on low or medium incomes.Ireland and Sptun are also planning tax cuts later this year.Lower taxes may be popular,but how are such giveaways being financed?Few countries have Lhe scope to borrow much more.The commission has criticised France and Spain for repeatedly missing their deficit-reduction targets,though it is not taking action agsunst them.Italy's high level of public debt,which hit 133%of GDP in 2013,has also landed it on the commission's fiscal"watch list".Instead,most countries plan to pay for their tax proposals with public-spending cuts.Italy says it will reduce spendirg by an extra 7 billion this year and save a further 2.2 billion thanks to lower yields on its debt-though these figures may prove optimistic.The politician8 hope that lower taxes will boost growth.As euro-zone countries cannot devalue or lower their own interest rates,tax cuts are one of the few ways of trimming business costs fast,says Guillaume Menuet at Citigroup.France and Italy both hope to improve their competitiveness by reducing the tax"wedge"between employers'costs and what workers actually take home.In 2012 this tax take reached nearly 50%of the payroll biU in France and Italy,against an OECD average of just 36%.Some economists doubt that cutting income tax,Italy's approach,is the best way forward.Instead,they favour slashing Europe's high employer-paid socild security charges,as France proposes to do.Ihis would directly lower labour costs,encouraging companies to hire extra workers as well as to increase their invesLmenl.That would aLso give a welcome boost to growth.
