X.,

12、bear some resemblance to assistants like Apple s Siri, but these robots come with something more. They are designecUtoover not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us. Time magazine hailed （称赞）the robots that“could fundamentally reshape

13、how we interact with machines. But is rewe interact with machines a good thing, especially for children?Some researchers in favor of the robots don t see a problem with this. People have relationships with manykinds of things. Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationshi

14、ps. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate （ 赋予 生命）dolls and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one.Getting attached to dolls and sociable

15、 machines is different, though. Today s robots tell childrenhave emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance, Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with. Boris Sofman, the chief executive of Anki, the compan

16、y behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create“ a deeper and deeper emotional connection . Anyou neglect him, you feel the pain of that. Whthtiss eh（poy?tWhat does it mean to feel the pain ofneglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something

17、 that doesn t even know it is neglecting you?This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to empathize with children. Empathy allows us to put ourselves in the place of others, to know what they are feeling. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot pu

18、t themselves in our place. No matter what robot ic creatures say or squeak, they don t understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment . They have not been born, they don t know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinkingmay be th

19、inking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love.What is also troubling is that children take robots behavior to indicate feelings. When the robots intera（with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and wh en robots don t work when needed, children al

20、so take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem （ 自尊）.In one study, an8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better.For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but

21、 conversation and care.Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that “feel. ”4. How are the new social robots different from Siri?A. They are intended to teach children how to talk.B. They are designed to attract people with their smar

22、ts.C. Their main function is to evaluate children s personality.D. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.5.

The underlined phrase “ essential equipment in Paragraph 4 refers to.A. emotionB. painC. fearD. thinking7. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?1

24、: Introduction P: PointSp: Sub-point （次要点）C: ConclusionACBD【解析】这是一篇议论文。新的社交机器人与以往机器人不同，他们不仅比我们聪明还有他们的个性。时代周刊称 它彻底改变了我们与机器互动的方式。但是对这种改变有的科学家赞同而有很多人也很担忧。4推理判断题。由第一段中的第一句话可知，新的社交机器人与像苹果的Siri 这样的助理有相同之处，但比它们有更多功能。再由第一段中的Time magazine hailed （称赞 ） the robots that “ could fundamentally reshapehow we inter

25、act with machines. 可知， 社交机器人彻底改变了我们与机器互动的方式，可以推知以一种新的方式与人们交流互动。故选D。5.推理判断题。Cozmo是第三段的举例，举例肯定是用来证明本段或者其前边的观点的。本段的中心是“ Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. （与洋娃娃相处与与社交机器相处是不同 的 ”。 再由第三段最后一句句意“你觉得忽略了机器人而难受，但是机器人并不会感觉被忽略，或者你感觉机器人冷落了你而难受但是机器人根本不知道它冷落了你，这些意味着什么呢？”可知，社交机器人并

26、不能真的跟小朋友建立感情。故选B。6猜测词义题。由划线单词后的“ They have not been born, they don t know pain, or death, or fear. Robotthinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feelin g, and robot love is never love. 可知，社交机器人不知”道疼，死亡或害怕。社交机器人的思维可能是在想，但是他们的感觉从来不是感觉，他们的爱也从来不是爱。这句话是证明划线单词所在句子的论点的，他们是会同情的机器，但是他们缺少感情，导致他们所谓

27、 的感情是假的。所以划线单词词意为情感。A. emotion情感；B. pain疼痛；C. fear害怕；D. thinking想。故选A。7篇章结构题。分析文章内容，第一段提出观点：社交机器人改变了我们与机器互动的方式。第二段提出一些支持这一改变的专家的想法，第三段提出一些人对这一改变的担忧，并且第三段后半部分以及第四段、第五段分别是这些人的三点担忧。最后一段总结这一趋势面临的现状。所以文章提出观点后，分为支持和反对两个观点，反对方面又列出了三点担忧，最后一段总结。故选B。CRunning on EmptyFor almost a century, scientists have assum

29、few years, however, Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, hasexamined this standard theory.

His team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist legs declined even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as

34、they could.To Noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong.“ The cyclists may have felt comexhausted, ” he says, “ but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibres. ” This, he believes, is the proo

35、f that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.8 Which of the following is supported by“ the Limitations Theory ”?A Tiredness is caused by signals from brain.9 Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.C The body

37、e different amount of muscle fibres11 It is likely that both theories accept that .A lactic acid is produced in muscles during exerciseB the oxygen content in blood may rise after sportsC tiredness is a harmful by-product of exerciseD the energy in human bodies can be balanced12 What is Paragraph 3

38、mainly about?A The description of a new test.B The explanation of the theory.C The puzzling evidence of a study.D The whole process of the research.【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了关于运动的极限理论。该理论认为人们之所以感到疲惫是因为肌肉达到了极限，而疲劳是由大脑控制的。8 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they ei
