22、 Most people are good at recognizing the universal facial expressions of our emotions 一 anger, joy, sadness, etc., which present a lot of emotional information. In fact, there are less obvious facial expressions called micro-expressions (MEs). Huma n beings often show them and communicate their private thoughts to others unconsciously (无意识的).What's more, people cannot hide them, including the experienced ones. And MEs have universality (普遍性), regardless of one's age, religion or culture.
All the findings lead to the possibilities of MEs' wide use in different fields, where people can use MEs to understand other people's true feelings, thoughts, or beliefs. Police can use MEs to detect unnatural behavior. Teachers can recognize unease in students and give a more careful explanation. Businessmen can use expressions of happiness to determine when they have given a suitable price. When one wants to be able to do what are mentioned above, it is useful to be able to read MEs.
However, MEs are difficult to read, because they are unconscious, and occur sometimes as fast as one-tenth of a second or even one-fifteenth of a second. At present, even highly trained persons are not always able to notice them. Some people do see something that has changed on the face, but they don't know exactly what it is that has changed. Since the human recognition accuracy (精准)is so low, a possible method for spotting MEs would be very precious.
【1】Which word can replace the underlined word "detect” in Paragraph 2?
A. Discover. B. Show.
C. Govern. D. Affect.
【2】What makes it difficult for people to read MEs?
A. Absence of training.
B. MEs' short existence.
C. MEs' universality.
D. Cultural differences.
【3】What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph of the passage?
A. The meaning of MEs.
B. The importance of spotting MEs.
C. The application of MEs.
D. The approach to recognizing MEs.
23、Last year, I would read more than one book a month easily. I also knew the first book I would read this year would be a Christmas gift, “We Are The Ants” by Shaun David Hutchinson.
This book was recommended to me by a long-time friend. She told me “it’s really sad.” Within the first chapter, we learn that Henry has been regularly abducted (绑架) by aliens since he was thirteen years old. The aliens usually just do strange experiments on him, but they recently communicate with him that the world is going to meet its end. They give him the choice to either press a button and save the world or not press it and the world will end on January 29th, 2016. Henry’s entire life is already falling apart. With his grandmother suffering from Alzheimers, his mother struggling to pay the bills, and his girlfriend dying a year ago, he decides not to press the button.
I thought I knew what I was going to get when I picked up this book, but it’s nothing like I could imagine. The self-discovery, existential crises (生存危机), and romance (爱情) don’t seem like it would fit so well with alien abductions, but this book proved that wrong.
I could sit here and type out the entire story of this book, but you would still be missing out on the experience of reading it. There is such a wide range of emotions “We Are The Ants” made me feel, and that is one of the reasons why I enjoyed this book so much.
I’m really happy that this was my first book of the year and I’m already starting on book number two! The hardest part of reading is starting, so try reading even just one book this year. It’s good for you.
【1】Why did the author choose to read “We Are The Ants”?
A.Because the book is a bestseller.
B.Because his friend recommended it.
C.Because he was interested in its theme.
D.Because the book is written by his friend.
【2】Which of the following is correct about the story of “We Are The Ants”?
A.The aliens decide to kill Henry on January 29th, 2016.
B.The aliens have imprisoned Henry since they caught him.
C.Henry’s girlfriend was killed by the aliens.
D.Henry met aliens when he was thirteen.
【3】The aliens force Henry to choose whether to ____.
A.destroy his world
B.help them
C.accept their experiments
D.end his own life
【4】According to the author, the book actually made him ________.
A.touched
B.amused
C.surprised
D.disappointed
24、Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like partners than tools. For example, these robots will be able to tell when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more properly to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just give general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each person in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential(潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these areas.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not aimed to replace workers, but to work together with other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
【1】How are social robots different from household robots?
A. They can control their feelings.
B. They are more like humans.
C. They do the normal housework .
D. They respond to users more slowly.
【2】What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A. Communicate with you and put on performances.
B. Answer your questions and make requests.
C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
【3】We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.
A. be our workmates
B. train employees
C. improve technologies
D. take the place of workers
【4】The underlined word“recommendations”in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by_______.
A. suggestions B. commands C. expressions D. bargains
