21、   In industry and medicine, robots routinely build, break down and inspect things; they also assist in surgery and pharmacies. Neither they nor “social” robots-which are designed to engage with people and to establish an emotional connection-behave like The Jetsons’ maid, Rosie, or other beloved robots of fiction. Even so, expect social robots to become more complicated and popular in the next few years.

Like most robots, social robots use artificial intelligence (AI) to decide how to act on information received through cameras and other sensors. The ability to respond in ways that seem lifelike has been informed by research into such issues as how perceptions (认知) form, what constitutes social and emotional intelligence, and how people understand others’ thoughts and feelings. Advances in AI have enabled designers to translate such psychological and neuroscientific (神经学的) insights into algorithms (演算) that allow robots to recognize voices, faces and emotions; interpret speech and gestures; respond appropriately to complex verbal and nonverbal cues; make eye contact; speak conversationally; and adapt to people’s needs by learning from feedback, rewards and criticisms.

In consequence, social robots are filling an ever expanding variety of roles. A 47-inch humanoid called Pepper (from SoftBank Robotics), for instance, recognizes faces and basic human emotions and engages in conversations via a touch screen in its “chest.” About 15,000 Peppers worldwide perform such services as hotel check-ins, airport customer service, shopping assistance and fast-food checkout. Social robots have particular appeal for assisting the world’s growing elderly population. Japan’s PARO Therapeutic (治疗的) Robot, which looks like a lovely seal (海豹), is meant to stimulate and reduce stress for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other patients. Mabu (Catalia Health) engages patients, particularly the elderly, reminding them to take walks and medication. Social robots are also gaining popularity with consumers as toys. Early attempts to incorporate social behavior in toys, such as Hasbro’s Baby Alive and Sony’s AIBO robotic dog, had limited success. But both are resurging, and the most recent version of AIBO has complicated voice and gesture recognition, can be taught tricks and develops new behaviors based on previous interactions.

Worldwide sales of consumer robots reached an estimated $5.6 billion in 2018, and the market is expected to grow to $19 billion by the end of 2025. This trend may seem surprising given that multiple well-funded consumer robot companies, such as Jibo and Anki, have failed. But a wave of robots is lining up to take the place of defunct robots, including BUDDY (Blue Frog Robotics), a big-eyed mobile device that plays games in addition to acting as a personal assistant and providing home automation and security.

【1】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.

A.what the features of social robots are

B.what promotes social robots’ engagement with people

C.how algorithms are improved to adapt to people’s needs

D.how psychological and neuroscientific insights are translated

【2】According to Paragraph 3, social robots ________.

A.have a wide range of applications

B.have the ability to deal with emergencies

C.have a tendency to take the place of humans

D.have successfully gained psychological insight

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Social robots are designed as personal assistants.

B.Robots in industry and medicine need improvement.

C.Consumer robots have been successful all these years.

D.Social robots are popular due to great interactive abilities.

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To predict the prospect of social robots.

B.To introduce the advances of social robots.

C.To report the application of AI in social robots.

D.To show the influence of social robots on our life.

22、On many days I admit that I feel depressed, days when it seems that the efforts, the struggles, and the sacrifices of so many people fighting for social and environmental justice, fighting prejudice and racism, are fighting a losing battle.

But without hope, all is lost. It is a crucial survival character that has supported our species from the time of our Stone Age ancestors. Certainly, my own improbable journey would have been impossible if I had lacked hope.

Like all people who live long enough, I have been through many dark periods and seen so much suffering. I was in New York on that terrible day in 2001. I still can remember the disbelief, the fear, the confusion as the city went quiet except the whistles of the police cars and ambulances on the streets emptied of people.

It was ten years after that day that I was introduced to the Survivor Tree, a Callery pear tree discovered a month after the collapse of the towers. All that was left was half a trunk that had been burned black, with roots that were broken and only one living branch.

She was almost sent to the dump, but the young woman who found her, Rebecca Clough, begged that the tree be given a chance. And so she went to be cared for in a nursery in the Bronx. Bringing that seriously damaged tree back to health was not an easy task, and it was touch-and-go for a while. But whenever you give her a chance, nature returns. Eventually the tree made it. In the spring, her branches are bright with blossoms. I’ve seen people looking at her and wiping away tears. She is a symbol of the resilience (适应力) of nature — and a reminder of all that was lost on that terrible day 20 years ago.

The Survivor Tree, brought back from the dead, had not only put out new leaves herself but also nurtured (养育) the lives of others. Now do you understand how I dare hope?

【1】What can we know about the author?

A．She wanted to fight for justice.

B．She once lost hope in her journey.

C．She felt hopeful despite many difficulties.

D．She planned to remove prejudice and racism.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the author’s feeling on the terrible day in 2001?

A．Scared and annoyed.

B．Frightened and shocked.

C．Thrilled and desperate.

D．Disappointed and puzzled.

【3】What happened to the Survivor Tree after the towers fell down?

A．The tree was slightly damaged.

B．The tree nearly got abandoned.

C．The tree was destroyed on the spot.

D．The tree got nothing but a trunk left.

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To call on people to protect nature.

B．To show the great strength of a tree.

C．To expect people to care for damaged trees.

D．To share the author’s reasons to keep optimistic.

24、Sure, alcohol does give you a sense of happiness, and you may feel like all the problems of the world have just disappeared.【1】How long can you escape from the real-life problems and ignore them as if they don’t exist? Some experts list a few reasons why you should quit alcohol.

【2】

However, heavy drinking can have harmful effects on your body and brain, leading to certain diseases such as heart disease or diabetes in later life stages.【3】Once you quit drinking, your body starts repairing itself.

Above all, your brain and body can function at its total capacity once again.

You would say goodbye to hangovers (宿醉)

The worst part about getting drunk is the hangover.【4】Having headaches, feeling sick, and drained all morning long... It makes you think, “why did I drink so much last night?” But on the contrary to this whole experience, there’s one thing that stands out: waking up refreshed with a fantastic day ahead of us instead of having woken up sick from drinking too much alcohol.

No guilt over drinking, no more apologizing

Whether you notice or not, your loved ones must have expressed concern over your drinking habit. Do you feel guilty each time you do it and promise yourself to quit but can’t resist? Know that being free from alcohol can be highly liberating and powerful. If you are struggling to stop on your own, know that there is no shame in seeking treatment and help.
