21、If you’re homeless and looking for temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eye to make sure you don t have a fever. That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, the best-known of a new commercial category of robots that run around with animal-like agility (敏捷).
The handful of police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool, like existing drones (无人机) and simple wheeled robots, to keep emergency responders out of harm’s way as they search for dangers.
Joseph O’Neal, an officer of the Honolulu Police Department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between meal times at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for COVID-19. The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.
The company that makes the robots, Boston Dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public—and its customers—what Spot can and cannot do. “One of the big challenges is accurately describing the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president of business development at Boston Dynamics. “Most people are applying ideas from science fiction to what the robot’s doing.”
Earlier this year, the police division sent its Spot into the site of a deadly drug lab explosion near the Belgian border to check for dangerous chemicals and other hazards.
There are roughly 500 Spot robots now in the wild. Perry said they’re commonly used by utility companies to inspect high-voltage zones and other dangerous areas. Spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor (传感器) is needed for the job.
It’s still mostly controlled by humans, though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go and it can climb stairs or cross over rough area. It can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized an assigned route and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles. “The first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” Perry said.
【1】What’s the company’s big challenge?
A．To describe the technology.
B．To win its customers’ respect.
C．To promote the Spot robots.
D．To produce more Spot robots.
【2】What’s the underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Robbers.
B．Labs.
C．Dangers.
D．Sensors.
【3】What can we infer about Spot robots from the last paragraph?
A．They can plan their own route easily.
B．They can memorize a familiar route.
C．They can overcome many obstacles.
D．They can choose direction themselves.
【4】Where does this text probably come from?
A．A textbook.
B．A newspaper.
C．A science fiction.
D．A health magazine.
22、 Recent years have witnessed the growth of luxury(奢侈品) brands. It's clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.
I am a fashionista too, at least in spirit —I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don't understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that's a scary thing.
What's interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn't lead to happiness.
Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don't suddenly become "happy" people. In fact, a series of studies have shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those on material things. That's because experiences are more easily integrated into a person's identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things" are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It's natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn't tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style.
You don't have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
【1】What's the author's attitude towards luxury consumption?
A.Favorable. B.Negative. C.Positive. D.Unconcerned.
【2】What's the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A.Material things can't bring about joy. B.Experiences sink into personality.
C.It's better to invest in experiences. D.Others' preference is of importance.
【3】Why are Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg mentioned in the text?
A.To honor the two successes. B.To advocate their experience.
C.To support the author's argument. D.To inspire young people's ambition.
【4】What is the underlined sentence intended to express?
A.Do mind your financial security. B.Do try to make more money.
C.Don't rob a bank for luxuries. D.Don't spend much on your image
