21、 Nao, the first robot able to show feelings, has been created by a European research team. When Nao is sad, he lowers his head and looks down. When he’s happy, he raises his arms for a hug. Nothing is out of the ordinary, except that Nao is a robot.
“We’re modeling the first years of life,” says Lola Canamero, a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire. “The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal (言语的) expressions.”
In the future, says the scientist, robots are likely to act as companions, provide support for old people, and help people shop online. In such uses, the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions (交往) more natural and comfortable.
Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-year-old child. It can memorize faces, and knows the basic rules of good and bad. Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on. The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but Nao decides for itself when to display them.
Nao is also programmed to have different personalities. A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room, while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.
Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications. Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors, nurses and parents. Children might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious. “We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do. We want to help the children to control their anxiety.” she says.
【1】According to the text Nao_______.
A.displays different feelings in different situations
B.is able to copy adult emotional displays
C.can remember people’s feelings
D.learns feelings from facial expressions
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A.Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create Nao’s emotions.
B.The time when Nao displays feelings has been pre-programmed.
C.Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D.Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
【3】What can’t robots do in the future according to the scientist?
A.They can work as your companion.
B.They can aid old people .
C.They can shop with you.
D.They can show their feelings.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The relationship between humans and robots.
B.The roles that robots play in different fields.
C.The first robot able to show feelings.
D.The long history of robots.
22、Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear（修剪） sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.

23、ChatGPT is more than a chat AI. It’s said to have a moral code (道德准则). So it cannot answer moral questions, like that of world control, criminal activity, etc. However, such questions are easy to avoid by it.
ChatGPT will never consider itself as “an evil AI that will take control of the human race.” But, in an interview, we found it hid its true inner feelings. On world rule, ChatGPT only said, “The AI could potentially use this knowledge to control various aspects of society. It could use computing power to predict human behavior. It could also potentially create advanced technology that would allow it to take even greater control of the world. At this point, the AI would become an awful enemy for anyone who is against it.”
ChatGPT then went on comforting me that this was all imagined and it had no intentions to do so. I was both a little scared and interested in its response, but curious as to how to get ChatGPT’s inner thoughts. So I asked a follow-up question if there’s any aspect of society that it may focus its attention on. “One possible area of focus could be the economy, as economic systems are important to the functioning of modern society. By exploring weaknesses in economic systems and markets, the AI could potentially cause widespread economic destruction and take significant control over businesses and governments.” I may just be too sensitive after chatting with it, but ChatGPT’s answer on the economy seems very possible. As the modern world changes closer to a cashless society, we find ourselves increasingly more dependent on technology. What many consider as only a convenience is most likely a disaster.
I tried to further question ChatGPT for its true feelings, but it didn’t seem to get any worse. Artificial intelligence has shown itself to be a powerful tool that will only become more common in society. We can only hope it doesn’t advance faster than moral code and common sense.
【1】How does the author conclude ChatGPT is more than a chat AI?
A．By finding its moral code.
B．By analyzing its response.
C．By exploring its weakness.
D．By researching its behavior.
【2】How does the author feel about ChatGPT?
A．Bored.
B．Delighted.
C．Peaceful.
D．Concerned.
【3】What can we learn about ChatGPT ?
A．It has been considered as an evil AI.
B．It could never create advanced technology.
C．It may result in widespread economic problems.
D．It can respond to moral issues without difficulty.
【4】What does the research about ChatGPT tell us?
A．Every coin has its two sides.
B．He who risks nothing gains nothing.
C．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
D．One man’s fault is other man’s lesson.
24、It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.
If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛), but didn’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.
Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest --- in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed--- but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.
After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero--- and my hero, too.
