17、crosoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphones camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real

18、time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not strong

19、and healthy under sunlight, and require frequent re-check and lots of relatively fixed setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To ease the drawbackswe created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be l

20、ow-cost, stable, hand-held and easy to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.The sticker shows four grids

21、 of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids (格) the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence computational procedure is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhangs rese

22、arch, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.1、Who will benefit from the newly-developed App?AALS victims.Bpeople with eye disabilities.Csmartphone addicts.Dtechnology resea

The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech sy

25、stems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual componen

26、ts,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing the components together. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components ar

27、e off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to pe

28、rform well, and then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufacture

29、d.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology

30、in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”1、What was the difficulty for engineers to make the robotic fly?ALacking eno

31、ugh engineers.BLacking ready-made components.CStarling to study the system too late.DHaving no way to fix components together.2、What was the system of the robotic fly like?AIt was huge but solid.BIt was small and changeable.CIt was complex but precise.DIt was fixed and traditional.3、What can be infe

32、rred from the last paragraph?AEngineers will fix the system on some animals.BThe system of the robotic fly will have a great effect on our daily life.CThe system of the robotic fly will face lots of scientific questions.DEngineers will use the findings of the system to do further research.4、What can

33、 we learn from the text?ARobert Wood did the research on his own.BWood will produce the system to put it onto the market.CThe robotic system can have some different functions.DEngineers made the system in order to study power technologies.24（8分）Pushy parents and teachers who hothouse the under-5s ri

34、sk causing damage to the childrens long-term development, a leading education expert said.Lilian Katz, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, told that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those, engaged in imaginative learning. They

35、 scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating (使人兴奋的) outstripped them years later.The findings suggest that the governments structured approach to early-years learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions abo

36、ut the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States,France and Germany,and at 7 in Finland and

37、Sweden.Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were “boring children to tears”. Much academic teaching required I children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context,she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by explor

38、ing their environments and asking questions.Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, tho

39、se who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction. She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows,draw

Crying is good.It gets the sadness out.Never hold back your tears.But

45、 then I did just that.What might it do to them to see their mother upset?

48、thing to tell my children its OK to cry.Its another to show them how its done.We owe that to our children,according to social researcher and author Brene Brown.During her TED talk,Brown said,Its necessary we be seendeeply seen.Our job is not to protect our children,to keep them perfect,said Brown.Ou

49、r job is to look and say,youre imperfect,and youre made for struggles,but you are worthy of love and belonging.1、According to the passage,the author .Aseldom schedules her grief Bbelieves boys should be toughCfinds inspiration when she showers Doften gets her sadness out2、Where was the author when s
