21、Can robots be creative? British art gallery owner Aidan Meller thinks so. He hopes to begin answering this question with a robot called Ai-Da. Meller is overseeing the building of all her parts by engineers at Engineered Arts, a company based in Cornwall, England. The engineers believe the robot will be able to draw pictures of people in sight with a writing instrument in her hand. Meller wants the robot to perform like a human artist.
He spoke to the Reuters News Agency after seeing Ai-Da’s head being carefully brought to life by specialists who were connecting individual hairs to form eyebrows. He said, “She’s going to actually be drawing and we’re hoping to then build technology for her to paint.” “But also as a performing artist, she’ll be able to engage with audiences and actually get messages across, asking those questions about technology today,” he added.
Ai-Da’s skeletal robotic head may still be separate from her body, but her movements are very alive. Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human body parts. Ai-Da will make eye contact and follow you around the room, opening and closing her mouth as you do. If you get too close, the robot will back away, closing and then opening her eyes as if in shock.
The specialists are using the company’s Mesmer lifelike robot technology to create her head. Once finished, Ai-Da will have a mixed-race appearance, with long dark hairs and rubber-like skin made from silicone. The teeth and skin inside her mouth will come from a 3D printer. Marcus Hold, working at Engineered Arts, said, “Mesmer brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human-sized package.”
Ai-D- will make her first public appearance at an exhibit called “Unsecured Futures” at the University of Oxford. Some of her pictures are expected to appear at another show in London later.
【1】What does Meller want Ai-Da to be?
A．A photographer
B．An engineer
C．A professional painter
D．A robot artist
【2】Which of the following is Ai-Da good at?
A．Doing housework
B．Taking care of the old
C．Interacting with people
D．Making up like humans
【3】What will Ai-Da do when you get very close to her?
A．Keep eyes closed
B．Step back
C．Run away
D．Follow you around
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A．Meller, A great Engineer
B．Ai-Da, A Creative Robot
C．Ai-Da Makes Painting Easier
D．Meller Makes Robots Cleverer
22、Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coming in, more and more people are sitting around a table enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.
Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it’s also a social experience. It’s a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.
Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening’s entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many Westerners would be unhappy by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we often have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.
A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.
For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find it’s now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me it’s like a dinner party where my taste buds(味蕾)and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.
【1】What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China?
A．It has a history of over 1,000 years.
B．It serves people with many kinds of foods.
C．It is a fun social experience.
D．It keeps people very warm in winter.
【2】How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal?
A．More than four hours.
B．Over one hour.
C．All the evening.
D．About three hours.
【3】We can conclude from the article that British people generally ______.
A．enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants
B．prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
C．don’t mind the smell of food staying on their clothes
D．don’t like sharing food with others in restaurants
【4】What is the author’s attitude to hot pot?
A．Enjoyable.
B．Tired.
C．Humorous.
D．Serious.
23、On a bright early summer morning, many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team, and that’s a regular part of their daily life. As they train and cut seconds off their times, which makes them closer to the championship in the following large-scale (大规模的) competitions, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just honor or health related. You can learn useful life skills.
Paul Waas, coach of the swim team, explains, “The discipline (自制力) comes into play when you’re talking about concentrating on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. When you focus on what you’re doing right and what you can do better, then you’ll see the improvement.”
Besides, there is also responsibility, goals and workings within a group. Again, here is Coach Waas. “It’s really great! It’s so fun to watch from year to year. I’ve had kids who as 7-year-olds on the team could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. Now they’ve come back as 8-year-olds, having set some goals and having things that they want to achieve. These skills can help them a lot.”
But playing the sports is not without harm. Some can be hard on the body. Young athletes suffer serious injuries that follow them into adulthood. Coach Waas says that in fact, swimming is different from most others. First, it poses a lower risk of injury. The second one relates to how swim teams are structured. Actually, children are not the only ones who can benefit. Adults can also benefit from team sports.
【1】Why do the swimmers gather at a swimming pool in the early morning?
A．To obtain vitamin D from the sun.
B．To build practical skills for future.
C．To join in a large-scale competitive.
D．To carry out their routine practice.
【2】What do Paul Waas’ words imply in paragraph 2?
A．Swimmers should concentrate on details.
B．Members get disciplined and focused in the team.
C．Coaches play a key role in layers’ improvement.
D．Most swimmers enjoy sinning in the same way.
【3】What happens to the kids after a year’s training?
A．They are more aware of what to do.
B．They pay less attention to training.
C．They devote more time to practice.
D．They care more about who goes first.
【4】What does the author want to convey in the text?
A．Exercise benefits everyone.
B．Swimming is better than other sports.
C．Team sports teach life lessons.
D．Physical exercise should be a habit.
24、Columbus Day has been on American calendars since 1937, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who “discovered” the Americas in 1942. However, the holiday has always been controversial. Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for “discovering” the continent, since native Americans had already been living there for generations.
Besides, the explorer’s mission was not a scientific “voyage of discovery”, but one intended to conquer the new land. Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage, caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的) people. Those that survived the massacre became slaves, working in mines. Many, therefore, believe that the explorer’s arrival should not be celebrated.
In 1977, a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas, proposed renaming the holiday to “Indigenous People’s Day”. The proposal passed with a majority.
However, convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy. It took 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis, MN and Seattle, WA did the same in 2014. The following year, eight more cities including Albuquerque, NM and Portland, OR, began celebrating the second Monday of October as “Indigenous People’s Day”. The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when 19 cities, including Boulder, CO and Phoenix, AZ, as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont, all decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans. In 2017, 21 more cities, including Austin, TX and Los Angeles, CA have made the shift.
With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away from Columbus Day each year, it will be interesting to see if “Indigenous People’s Day” gets federal recognition. Meanwhile, it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas.
【1】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Indigenous People’s Day Has Got Federal Recognition after Years’ Work
B. Columbus Day Honoring the Italian Explorer Has Always Been Controversial
C. Christopher Columbus Should Not Be Given Credit for Discovering Americas
D. More Cities Have Replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day
【2】Many people don’t agree that .
A. Columbus discovered the continent
B. Columbus was a remarkable explorer
C. Native Americans were abused
D. Columbus Day is a public holiday
【3】What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Columbus was well received by indigenous people
B. The indigenous people hated the Columbus’ arrival
C. The Spanish army rebelled against Columbus’ rule
D. Few soldiers survived the attack by native Americans
【4】Which of the following cities is the earliest to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day?
A. Portland B. Phoenix
C. Seattle D. Los Angeles
