21、Making eye contact with a robot can be a very strange experience. Scientists even have a name for the teeing: the “uncanny valley”. Now, researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Italy have found that it is more than just a feeling. They ran an experiment that showed how a robot’s gaze can trick people into thinking they are socially interacting with a human being. That experience can slow a person’s ability to make decisions.
“Gaze is an extremely important social signal,” said the lead writer, Professor Agnieszka Wykowska, “The question is whether the robot’s gaze will evoke very similar mechanisms in the human brain as a human’s gaze would.”
The team asked 40 participants to play a video game of “chicken”. Each player had to decide whether to permit a car to run straight toward another car or to turn to avoid a crash. The people played against a human-like robot sitting across from them. During breaks in the game, players had to look at the robot. Sometimes the robot would look back and at other times it would look away. As the interactions happened, the scientists collected data on participants’ behavior and brain activity.
“Our results show the gaze of the robot had an impact on the way humans made decisions and humans’ responses so humans were much slower in making decisions in the game,” Wykowska said. Given that the robot, is designed loosely to copy the shape and appearance of people, it’s not altogether startling perhaps that its gaze can influence people’s attention.
The findings could be useful for deciding where and how human-like robots might be placed. When we understand when and how robots change people’s social behavior, “then we can decide in which sort of context this is desirable and beneficial for humans and in which context this should not occur,” Wykowska said.
【1】What does “it” mean in paragraph 1?
A．Making eye contact with a robot.
B．A strange valley.
C．The research on robots.
D．A robot’s experience.
【2】According to the research, which of the following sentence is correct?
A．Robots were designed to make decisions to avoid a crash.
B．40 people were asked to play against each other.
C．Players were not allowed to look at the robot
D．Robot gaze could affect people’s decision making abilities.
【3】What does the author think of the results according to paragraph 4?
A．Unsurprising.
B．Amazing.
C．Disappointing.
D．Threatening.
【4】What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To advertise the robot.
B．To introduce a study.
C．To stress the importance of eye contact.
D．To show robots’ ability to make decisions.
22、Humans may not have landed on Mars （火星） just yet, but that isn’t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.
“Everything we need to go to Mars exists,” said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. “We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists.” Yet the four astronauts chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One’s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost （$6 billion）. However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.
Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit （阻止） the mission to Mars.
“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,” said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. “The size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”
【1】According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next ________years.
A．seven B．eight C．ten D．six
【2】According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A．Robots are prepared for the settlement for humans.
B．He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.
C．We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.
D．The equipment is ready for humans to land on Mars．
【3】The word “colossal” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A．very large B．very small
C．medium D．average
【4】Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
A．Ready for a Round Trip to Mars
B．Ready for a Short Visit to Mars
C．Ready for a One-way Trip to Mars
D．Ready for a Walk on Mars
23、 Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role—showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.

The eight-part series（系列节目），Save Money: Good Food , follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
