21、   If your friend says she feels relaxed, but you see that she closes her hands into fists, you may doubt her words. Robots, however, might believe her. Body language says a lot, but robots have great difficulty in observing tiny body movements and can miss important social signals as a result.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University developed a body-tracking system that might help solve this problem. The system called OpenPose can track body movement in real time. One important quality of the OpenPose system is that it can track not only a person's head, body, arms and legs but also his fingers. To do that, the researchers used a dome （圆顶状物）lined with 500 cameras, where they recorded body movements at different angles and then used those pictures to build a data set.

They then passed those pictures through a keypoint detector to identify and label specific body parts. The software also learns to connect the body parts with different people, so it knows, for example, that a particular person's hand will always be close to his or her upper arm. This makes it possible to track multiple people at once.

The pictures from the dome were recorded in 2D. But the researchers used 3D technology to help the system understand how each movement appears from different angles. With all of this data processed, the system can determine how the whole hand looks even if some fingers cannot be seen.

Now that the system has this data set to draw from, it can run with just one camera and one computer. It no longer requires the camera-lined dome to determine body poses, making the technology mobile and accessible.

The researchers say this technology could be used for interactions between humans and machines. It could play a huge role in VR （虚拟现实）experiences, allowing finer detection of the user's physical movement without any added hardware. It could also help with more natural interactions with a home robot. You could tell your robot to “pick that up"， and it could easily understand what you're pointing at. By interpreting your physical gestures, the robot may even learn to read emotions by tracking body language. So when you' re silently crying with your face in your hands because a robot has taken your job, it might offer you a tissue.

【1】What does the underlined words “this problem" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Humans are addicted to technology.

B．Human-robot relationship is poor.

C．Robots show too much trust in humans.

D．Robots fail to interpret physical gestures.

【2】What do we know about OpenPose?

B．It can track slight body movements.

C．It uses a dome to recognize people.

D．It can take 500 pictures in one second.

【3】What makes OpenPose easy to use?

A．The data set.

B．3D technology.

C．A powerful computer.

D．A camera-lined dome.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．What robots are expected to do in the future?

B．Why is body language so important?

C．Robots learn to read body language.

D．Robots can and will change our lives.

22、While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted-being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!

About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device（设备）that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.

Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce” —a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.

While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.

Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients（配料）and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!

【1】Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?

A．To ask us not to take common things for granted.

B．To show they live a difficult life there.

C．To show their life is boring in space.

D．To introduce the topic of the text.

【2】NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to __________.

A．create some new type of 3-D printer

B．attract more companies to work for NASA

C．help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day

D．produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits

【3】The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that __________.

A．he has no money left to go on with his research

B．the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers

C．he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years

D．he cannot make the food container last for decades

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better

B．Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza

C．NASA is working on making pizza for common people

D．A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

23、Videos and video calls are becoming increasingly popular on social media in China, particularly on WeChat, the country’s most-used messaging app. WeChat’s 1.08 billion monthly active users last year made 410 million daily video and audio calls. That was 5.7 times more than in 2015, when WeChat first disclosed its operational data.

Uploading videos on WeChat Moments, a function that allows users to share their latest where-abouts, has become more widely used, with the number of videos posted multiplying 4.8 times in the past 4 years.

As a one-stop solution for Chinese people’s daily lives, WeChat has been able to produce a break-down (明细) of its users’ preferences by age group. Those born in the 1980s for example are followers of news related to state and public affairs, whereas those younger than 20 spend the most on sweet treats.

In line with previous findings, China’s elderly population are becoming adept at using WeChat as a means of communication and conducting errands (办差事). As of September 2018, over 63 million users were registered as 55 years old or above. This group recorded an average length of 11 minutes for video calls, topping all age groups. WeChat Wallet has also registered exponential (指数式的) growth, with payments in public transportation and high-speed traffic rising 4.7 times and 6.3 times, separately. Spending in retail stores and dining via WeChat rose by 1.5 times and 1.7 times.The number of users who use the app for making medical appointments and paying bills almost tripled.

【1】Which of the following is closer to the truth according to the passage?

A．The number of videos posted has declined in the past 4 years.

B．The users’ preferences for WeChat can be various by age group.

C．Downloading videos on WeChat Moments is widely banned officially.

D．The number of WeChat users will be doubled.

【2】From what column on a certain website is the above passage most probably taken?

A．VIDEOS.

B．ADVERTISING.

C．BUSINESS.

D．CAREER DEVELOPMENT.

【3】What does the underlined word “adept”in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Disappointed.

B．Inexperienced.

C．Surprised.

D．Skilled.

【4】What is the passage mainly concerned about accordingly?

A．Video use continues to rise sharply on WeChat.

B．WeChat video calls are more frequently used by those younger than 20.

C．The post-80s are more likely fond of public affairs as well as sweet treats.

D．Making medical appointments and payments on WeChat will be more convenient.

24、   An independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils.

Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy.

Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future.

Mr Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, “One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world.

“China has replaced Britain as the world’s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation’s children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.

“A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College.”

Mr Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language.

In order to lead the way, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects.”

【2】The college makes its students learn Chinese mainly because ________.

A．Chinese is a language spoken by the largest population in the world

B．it realizes the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy

C．Chinese is the easiest language for the students

D．there are many native Chinese students at the college

【3】What is Mr Cairns’ attitude towards the development of China?

A．He sees it to be a threat.

B．He thinks of it as a danger.

C．He considers it to be an opportunity.
