ThoserobotshavebeenusedtoreadstoriestopreschoolstudentsinSingapore,help12-year-oldsinIranlearnEnglishandimprovehandwritingamongyoungchildreninSwitzerland.”（人们相信，社交机器人可能会像学校里的纸张和白板一样普遍。这些机器人已经被用来给新加坡的学龄前学生读故事，帮助伊朗12岁的孩子学习英语，以及改善瑞士儿童的书法。）可知，说明了社会机器人在全球课堂上的应用，故选C项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Somestudentsquicklyfiguredoutthattherobotcouldrespondonlytocertainbasicroutines.Theykepttryingtointeractwiththerobotasifitwereapersonbutgotveryfrustratedwithitsnonhumanresponses.Whenarobotfailedtoansweraquestion,orrespondedinthewrongway,studentsrealizedtherobotwasn’treallyunderstandingthemandthattherobot’sdialoguewaspreprogrammed.”（一些学生很快发现，机器人只能对某些基本动作做出反应。他们一直试图与机器人互动，就像它是一个人一样，但对它的非人类反应感到非常沮丧。当机器人回答不出问题，或者回答错误时，学生们就会意识到机器人并没有真正理解他们，机器人的对话是预先编程好的。）可知，学生发现与社交机器人互动是无效且令人失望的，故选C项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Also,Ihavefoundthatthesearenotlimitedtoschoolsettings.Servicerobotsinsomehealthcarefacilitieshavebeenprogrammedtodelivermedicine,butthisrequiresspecialsensorsandprogramming.”（此外，我发现这些并不局限于学校环境。一些医疗机构的服务机器人已经被编程为提供药物，但这需要特殊的传感器和编程。）可知，作者在第4段提到的例子想要说明：机器人仍有改进的空间。故选A项。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Studentscanusethemtolearnmoreaboutroboticsandartificialintelligence.Strugglingwitharobot’slimitationsgivesstudentsrealinsightsintothecomplicatednatureofhumansocialinteraction.Theopportunitytodohands-onworkwithasocialrobotshowsstudentshowdifficultitistoprogramrobotstocopyhumanbehavior.”（学生们可以利用它们来学习更多关于机器人和人工智能的知识。与机器人的局限性作斗争，让学生们对人类社会互动的复杂性有了真正的了解。与社交机器人一起动手工作的机会向学生展示了编程机器人模仿人类行为是多么困难。）可知，学生通过与功能有限的社交机器人互动，可以获得一些实践经验。故选B项CFormanyofus,onlineshoppinghasmadetheprocessofpurchasinggoodsafarsimplerandmoreconvenientprocess.Nolongerdowehavetoheadtoshopstobrowsethroughvariousobjects,wanderingroundendlessshelves,beforefinallysettingforthefirstthingwesaw.Thesedays,wefindtheitemwewantorneedonline,clickonit,andcheckoutitsdescriptionand,mostimportantly,itsuserreviews.Ifitfitsthebill,wesendittoourbasketandpay.Thereseemstobeawealthofoptionsatourfingertips.Buthowdoweknowtheoptionsthatpopupinfrontofusreallyarethebestdeals,andhowmightalgorithms(算法)helporholdusback?Algorithms,simplyput,aremathematicalinstructionswhichtellacomputerhowtosolveproblems.Whenshoppingisinvolved,whatistheproblemtheysolve?Well,theyinstructacomputerwhichadvertisementstoshowandwhichproductsauserismostlikelytobuy.Byanalyzingthethingsweboughtorlookedatpreviouslyalgorithmscanpredictwhatgoodswe’remostlikelytobeattractedby.Forsomepeople,theideaofsomethingguessingyourpreferencescouldsoundabitworrying.Butfirst,let’slookatthepositives.Bytellingacomputertoshowuswhatweareinterestedin,itcannotonlysaveusalotoftime,butalsohelpusfindthebestdeals.However,therearesomepeoplewhohaveconcernsabouttheimpactofalgorithmsonourshoppingexperience.Itispossiblethatalgorithmsmayonlyselectoptionsfromalimitednumberofbrands,ormayfavourproductsfromcertaincompanies.Therearealsoconcernsthatwearen’talwaysshownthecheapestorbestdeal,eventhoughthat’swhatwe’researchingfor.So,thetakeawayfromthisisthatalgorithmsareheretostay,andit’swisetoknowtheyexist.Wheneveryouareshopping,beitonlineoroff,makesureyoushoparoundforthebestdeals.Thefirstthingyouseemightnotalwaysbethebestforyou.8.Whatisthemainfactorthatleadsyoutobuytheproductonlineimmediately?A.Thereasonableprice.
