文檔簡介
1、unit 5 travelling abroad李仕才*閱讀理解。a japanese telecom company has released a robot that it says has emotions. but rather than running in fear from it, weve welcomed it into our homes: pepper, the “emotional robot”, sold out within a minute of going on sale. created by aldebaran robotics and japanese m
2、obile giant softbank, pepper went on sale to the general public in japan on june 20. it is “the first humanoid(類人的) robot designed to live with humans, ” aldebaran says on its website. pepper costs about $1, 600. and like all good mobile products, theres a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80
3、per month damage insurance fee. according to a news release, pepper can pick up on human emotions and create its own using a “multi-layer neural(神經(jīng)的) network. ” peppers touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood, which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest. pepper will s
4、igh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your familys daily activity. aldebaran says pepper can feel “joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness, ” but it doesnt say how strongly it can feel these emotions. what happens when pepper is having a bad day? will it, like many humans, become
5、uncooperative? will it ask for some time alone? what happens if it figures out that its purpose in life is just to engage in small talks? thankfully, pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owner, youll be safe if you can m
6、ake it upstairs. aldebaran says in reality, therere probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. aldebaran wasnt immediately available for comment on when pepper will be available outside of japan, but additional sales are scheduled for july after
7、 the first 1, 000 units sell out. softbank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer pepper to other stores in the future. hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion pepper can feel. 【文章大意】本文介紹日本的一家電信公司發(fā)布了第一臺“情感機器人”, 闡述了情感機器人的使用費用、功能以及發(fā)展前景。1. according to the author, pepp
8、er _. a. is very popular among customersb. can not only run but also show fearc. is going to be sold all over the worldd. can deal with many kinds of housework【解析】選a。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容pepper, the “emotional robot”, sold out within a minute of going on sale. (pepper, 情感機器人, 在銷售幾分鐘之內(nèi)就賣完了)可知pepper非常受消費者歡迎
9、。2. how much do you need to pay for peppers data fee and damage insurance fee each year? a. 80 dollars. b. 120 dollars. c. 1, 440 dollars. d. 2, 400 dollars. 【解析】選d。數(shù)字計算題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容theres a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. 可知, 每年用于pepper的data fee and damage ins
10、urance fee為(120+80)*12=2 400。故答案為d。3. peppers height and roller balls are mentioned to _. a. introduce its appearanceb. tell pepper wont get angryc. show that safety isnt a big issued. explain robots have strong emotions【解析】選c。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls inst
11、ead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owner, youll be safe if you can make it upstairs. 介紹pepper的height and roller balls是為了表明安全不是大問題。故答案為c。4. what can we infer from the last paragraph? a. pepper cannot produce real emotions. b. pepper can feel joy, surprise and boredom. c. pepper
12、 will be sold in other countries next year. d. pepper is being used as a waiter in some restaurants. 【解析】選a。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中aldebaran says in reality, therere probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. 可推斷pepper現(xiàn)在是不能產(chǎn)生真正的情感的。故a正確。*語法填空。being a te

17、原因狀語從句。2annoying 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。此處and連接兩個并列的形容詞作表語,且描述的是“being a teen”的狀況,故填annoying,意為“令人煩惱的”。3embarrassment 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)下文的“and annoyance”可知,該空填名詞embarrassment與annoyance并列。4what 考查賓語從句的連接詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空處引導(dǎo)從句作figure out的賓語,空處在從句中作like的賓語,表示“所的事物”,故用連接詞what。5which 考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空處引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句,且在從句中作主語,先行詞為前面主
18、句整體內(nèi)容,故用which。6of 考查介詞。名詞way后接to do sth.或of doing sth.,表示“做某事的方式”,根據(jù)“l(fā)iving a life”可知,該空填of。7is spent 考查動詞的時態(tài)、語態(tài)和主謂一致。描述一般性情況,本文的時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時,且主語“the majority of the human lifespan”為單數(shù),與動詞spend之間為被動關(guān)系,故填is spent。8an 考查冠詞。此處表泛指,且important的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭,故用an。9potentially 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。此處應(yīng)用副詞修飾動詞control,故該空填potential
19、ly。10it 考查代詞。此處指的是“不要不重視青少年時期”;take sth. for granted為固定搭配,意為“視為理所當(dāng)然,不把當(dāng)回事”,此處用it來代替“being a teenager”。*完形填空。one day when i was 13,my family was working in the fields to clear away old brush when somehow the electric fence sparked(冒火花)and _1_ a fire.we didn't see the fire _2_ it had blocked the w

28、d(冒火花)and _1_ a fire”可知,此處表示一場火災(zāi)開始了。d項意為“開始,使開始發(fā)生”,符合語境。prevent“阻止”;permit“允許”;witness“目擊”。2d直到大火堵住了通往唯一的門的路,我們才發(fā)現(xiàn)大火。此處考查“not.until.”結(jié)構(gòu)。3a根據(jù)語境可知,“我”想(wanted)跳過籬笆,到達安全地帶,可是大火包圍了我們。manage“設(shè)法做成”;promise“許諾”;happen“發(fā)生”。4b由上文可知,大火包圍了我們,“我”只能驚恐地看著火焰繼續(xù)上升。in horror“驚恐地”;in anger“生氣地”;in excitement“興奮地”;in e
29、mbarrassment“尷尬地”。5c根據(jù)第二段第一句中的“my father began telling us about his days as a firefighter”可知,父親曾經(jīng)是一名消防員。carpenter“木匠,木工”;electrician“電工”;educator“教育工作者”。6a本題考查be armed with的省略結(jié)構(gòu)作狀語,意為“用裝備或武裝”,故選a項。satisfied“滿意的,滿足的”;shared“共有的”;identified“可辨認(rèn)的”。7c根據(jù)語境可知,父親應(yīng)該是沖(dashed)向最近的池塘。slide“滑行”。8c根據(jù)上下文可知,此處指開始
30、用水噴向火焰(flames)。9d根據(jù)語境可知,此處表示然而很快,風(fēng)又變強了。pick up“變大,變強”,符合語境。die off“相繼死去,先后死去”;take on“呈現(xiàn),開始具有(某種特征、面貌等)”;turn out“結(jié)果是,證明是”。10b根據(jù)下文中的“he jumped into the truck”可知,父親走向卡車。11b考查連詞。a項意為“如果”,引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句;b項意為“一就,一旦”,引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句;c項“自以來,因為,既然”;d項“當(dāng)時候,盡管”。由上下文可知,此處指父親一到達大門,就跳進了卡車?yán)?。故選b項。12a根據(jù)語境可知,父親開著卡車從火中穿過。through
31、“通過,穿過”,表示運動發(fā)生在某物的空間內(nèi);along“沿著”;over“在上面”;across“從一邊到另一邊,橫過”,表示動作發(fā)生在物體的表面。13b根據(jù)語境可知,父親開著卡車從火中穿過,火最終被撲滅了,所以母親睜大(wide)眼睛看著父親。14a根據(jù)下文中的“asking him what other jobs he had done”可知,我們是很好奇的(curious)。suspicious“懷疑的,猜疑的”;concerned“(與某事)有關(guān)的,有牽連的”; anxious“焦慮的,不安的,擔(dān)心的”。15c根據(jù)語境可知,我們問父親在退休(retired)之前還做過其他什么工作。下文
32、中的“to retire”也是提示。16a根據(jù)第三段對父親退休前工作的描述可知,父親做過很多事情,所以此處指除了做腦外科手術(shù)之外,父親幾乎什么都做過。everything except“除了之外什么都”符合語境。17d由上下文可知,那場事故迫使(forced)父親退休。18b根據(jù)上下文可知,此處指那場事故(accident)。attempt“嘗試”; explanation“解釋”。19bbe proud of “為感到驕傲”符合語境。ashamed“(因自己所做的事而)羞恥的,內(nèi)疚的,慚愧的”。20c根據(jù)上文可知,此處指他們的技能(skills)有朝一日可能拯救你的生命。*短文改錯。the
