【名师点睛】
七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，若问题在段首1.通常是段落主题句。

认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。

2.与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。

着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。

一般来说正确答案与它后面的一句话的在意思上是衔接的，所以通常情况下，这两句话中会有某种的衔接手段。

3.段落间的过渡句。

这时要前瞻后望找到启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。

64.B根据下句：如果你注意到其他学生写得很快或者提前交了试卷，你不要惊慌。

可知上句应该在说：把自己看做是房间里唯一的人。

故选B。

What。

【63题详解】
考查动词不定式。

我很荣幸地被授予公民资格。

本句考查了常用句式sb be +adj. to do sth.，固定句子的主语I与动词award是被动关系，所以要用动词不定式的被动形式，因此填to be awarded
【64题详解】
考查固定搭配。

“appreciate doing sth.为固定搭配，意为：感激做某事。

作为一个机器人被承认为公民身份，对此我很感谢。

文中的主语I是被承认，所以要用动词ing形式的被动语态。

故填being recognized

分析句子human values like __9__(wise), kindness, compassion."可知，本句中的形容词wise与名词kindness, compassion.一起作介词like的宾语，因此要用名词形式wisdom
