(B)
When we were kids, learning polite expressions was important. Our parents taught us to
say "thank you" when we received help, and to say "please" when we needed help from others.
But would you say "thank you" and "please" to a digital assistant?
Amazon, a US company, said it added new features to its smart assistant Alexa. One of
the developments—a politeness feature—pays attention to parents' worries about their children
forgetting their manners because they have become used to shouting orders at Alexa.
When kids ask Alexa to work out a Maths problem using the word "please"—as in
"Alexa, please tell me what 3 and 7 is?"—Alexa will not only give the correct answer, but also
give the following reply: "Thanks for asking so nicely."
However, ▲ , as children can tell the difference between machines and humans. But
thinking back to our everyday life, we don't usually shout loudly to a TV. "I ask Siri to turn on
the lights in the same natural language that I use in daily life," Chaim said. "It doesn't matter
that my digital assistant can't hear or understand it—it matters that I say it."
With the increasing use of AI, developing the habit of being polite in everyday life is
becoming even more important, as the British research company ChildWise found. In January,
it published a report warning that people who become used to cutting polite words and giving
orders to digital assistants might become impolite when dealing with others.
Indeed, as German philosopher G.W.F. wrote, one is worse off if they treat their machines
in an unfriendly way. And Manu Kumar once said, "One of my standards for deciding
how nice someone is is by watching how they talk and act with a waiter. In a similar way, even
if AI doesn't care about it, other people around us are going to experience how we deal with it.
We shouldn't forget why we have the digital assistants and how to deal with them."

这是一篇关于人工智能时代礼貌习惯培养的说明文阅读理解，解题时可以按照“题干定位-原文比对-逻辑验证”的思路推进：1. 针对指定段落的细节题，直接锁定题干标注的对应段落，逐一核对选项和原文表述的匹配度，排除无中生有的错误选项；2. 针对句子还原题，重点观察空格后的逻辑提示，结合转折关系判断空格处的铺垫语义；3. 针对专有名词相关的细节题，直接定位到该专有名词出现的段落，提取报告核心结论匹配选项；4. 针对下文推断题，重点关注全文最后一段的收尾落点，顺着作者最后提出的未展开话题推导后续内容。
【解析】
我们逐题分析如下：
5. 细节理解题：定位到第2、3段，原文提到Alexa新增的礼貌功能，是为了改善家长担心孩子习惯对智能助手喊命令、忘记礼貌的问题，当孩子用礼貌用语提问时，Alexa还会给出正向鼓励。逐一排除错项：A选项“它大声喊出答案”原文完全没有提及；B选项“它只听从孩子的命令”中“only”属于无中生有的绝对化表述；D选项“如果被不礼貌对待就拒绝回答”不符合原文内容，原文没有提到Alexa会拒绝回答不礼貌的提问；只有C选项“它帮助孩子学习良好礼仪”完全符合新功能的设计目的和效果，因此选C。
6. 句子还原题：空格后给出原因“孩子们能够区分机器和人类”，且后文用However转折引出作者的相反观点，说明空格处要填入的是大众普遍存在的、和后文作者观点相反的看法。逐一验证选项：A“孩子也需要对机器讲礼貌”和后文转折逻辑完全相悖；B“孩子很擅长和他人相处”和上下文话题无关；C“Alexa不仅聪明还能像人类一样行动”不符合语境；只有D选项“一些人认为孩子不需要感谢机器”，刚好承接后文“孩子能区分机器和人类”的解释，再顺承转折引出“但我们也不该对智能助手大喊大叫”的作者观点，逻辑完全通顺，因此选D。
7. 细节理解题：定位到ChildWise出现的第5段，原文明确提到该公司发布的报告警告：习惯省略礼貌用语、直接对数字助手下命令的人，在和其他人打交道的时候可能会变得不礼貌。比对选项：A“他们会成为不那么重要的人”原文无依据；B“他们对下命令更感兴趣”属于过度推导；D“他们不知道如何和他人相处”表述过于绝对；只有C选项“他们可能对其他人也不礼貌”完全匹配原文结论，因此选C。
8. 推理判断题：全文最后一段收尾落点在“我们不应该忘记我们为什么要使用数字助手，以及该如何和它们相处”，说明作者接下来最可能展开论述的就是和数字助手正确相处的相关方法。排除其他选项：A“数字助手引发的问题”前文已经讨论过，不会重复展开；C“数字助手的奇妙用途”和全文核心讨论的“对智能助手讲礼貌”的话题无关；D“数字助手充满希望的未来”没有相关铺垫，因此选B。
【答案】
5.C 6.D 7.C 8.B

细节信息查找，上下文逻辑推理，语篇内容推断
【点评】
本题属于中等难度的说明文阅读题，考点覆盖了阅读理解最核心的三类题型，既考察学生快速定位原文信息的能力，也要求学生准确把握句间转折逻辑，避免把后文作者的观点错当成空格处的铺垫内容，整体引导学生思考AI时代日常礼貌习惯的重要性，兼具知识性和教育意义。

这是一篇英语七选五信息还原题，解题时首先要通读全文，明确本文核心主题是讲解电梯场景下和他人进行眼神交流的社交规则，之后逐空锚定前后文的逻辑关联，匹配语义衔接最顺畅的选项：
1. 第一空前文抛出了“电梯里和他人眼神交流多久合适”的问题，需要找能承接这个问句、引出下文不同场景做法的选项；
2. 第二空前文提到大部分时候你只想不被旁人打扰，要匹配对应这种需求的行为描述选项；
3. 第三空前文说明盯着电梯陌生人看会让对方感到不适，顺着逻辑延伸出这种行为带来的双方感受，匹配对应选项；
4. 第四空前文提问眼神交流超过三秒会传递什么信息，后文举了不同性别、不同场景的例子，需要总起句说明不同情况结果不同；
5. 第五空前文提到男性长时间盯着其他男性看会传递“你看起来很奇怪”的信号，顺着逻辑点明这种注视的属性，匹配收尾选项。
【解析】
1. 第一空：前文提出问题“When you're in an elevator, how long is it okay to make eye contact with others?”，G选项“To answer this question, think about what you want.”里的“this question”刚好指代前文的问句，完美承接引出下文不同需求下的做法，选G。
2. 第二空：前文说明“Most of the time, though, you just want to be left alone.”，F选项“Then you can avoid eye contact by looking somewhere else.”刚好对应“想要独处不被打扰”的需求，给出对应的行为方式，选F。
3. 第三空：前文提到“If you break this rule and stare at a stranger in an elevator, you may make the other person feel uncomfortable.”，A选项“You may also feel a little strange.”顺着逻辑延伸，说明这种不礼貌的注视不仅让对方不适，自己也会感觉别扭，语义连贯，选A。
4. 第四空：后文举了异性对视7秒、男性同性对视超过3秒的不同含义的例子，C选项“It depends on the person and the situation.”总起说明对视超过3秒传递的信息是因人而异、随场景变化的，刚好引出后文的举例，选C。
5. 第五空：前文说明男性长时间盯着其他男性看，传递的信号是“你看起来很奇怪”，D选项“This type of stare often gives unfriendly feelings.”点明这种注视的属性是传递不友好的感受，逻辑闭环，选D。
