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?

B．40 people were asked to play against each other.

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.

22、Yuri Gagarin became the first person to go beyond Earth’s atmosphere in 1961. As he spent 108 minutes in orbit, the Russian astronaut consumed a tube of beef-and-liver paste (糊状物) with a side of chocolate sauce. His American counterparts (同行) enjoyed equally unappetizing cuisine during their trips to the moon, but pureed (做成泥的) meat gave way to freeze-dried meals by the time the space shuttle first launched in 1981. Today, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) also enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables sent from home.
An increasingly appealing space diet has ensured astronauts get more of what their bodies need. Life aboard the ISS, for example, is hard—a six-hour spacewalk can burn more than 2,000 calories—so it’s essential that astronauts consume enough food to do the job. And over time, zero gravity weakens the heart and other muscles, requiring anyone living in it to exercise regularly. “Flavor is the primary driver for most decisions surrounding food intake,” says Robin Tucker, an assistant professor of nutrition science at Michigan State University.
Floating freely can weaken the sense of taste and smell. Providing a variety of seasonings (调味品) helps with that. NASA also makes sure the Space Station has crew members’ favorite snacks. The menu includes goodies, like the occasional pizza during resupply flights.
However, deliveries won’t be possible on a month’s long trip to Mars, and refrigerators and freezers require too much room and energy to be practical. Given that vitamins and minerals in packaged meals slowly break down, NASA is researching how astronauts might grow vegetables. It also has experimented with something like a 3D printer that would combine powdered starch (粉状淀粉), protein, and fat with micronutrients, oil, and water to make tasty food. As humans go ever farther into space, such ideas will ensure they eat something healthier, fresher, and more acceptable than wet and sticky stuff squeezed from a tube.
【1】What does the author think of astronauts’ food before 1981?
A．It was too dry.
B．It was original.
C．It was unhealthy.
D．It was unappealing.
【2】What influences astronauts’ food consumption in space most according to Robin Tucker?
A．The food’s look.
B．The food’s taste.
C．The food’s smell.
D．The food’s nutrition.
【3】How might space flights affect astronauts?
A．They might become overweight.
B．They have to take in fewer seasonings.
C．They might have a weakened sense of smell.
D．They have to do more exercise than on Earth.
【4】What is NASA focusing on at present?
A．Preventing the breakdown of nutrients in food.
B．Sending supplies to the spaceships flying to Mars.
C．Enabling astronauts to feed themselves in space.
D．Increasing the volume of freezers on spaceships.
23、There’re always some stories in life that can hardly be forgotten and will restore our hope for holidays every time we recollect (回忆起).
Johnny and I, along with our two young sons, Barry and Doyle, lived in a village in southern Alabama in 1979. We had bought the boys a bicycle for the New Year, and had hidden it in the garage, where Johnny would assemble (组装) it on New Year’s Eve after the kids fell asleep. But that day, Johnny had to go to Brookley Air Force Base in Mobile, an hour away, to repair a jet. I had my hands busy with baking, preparing for holiday dinner and caring for two energetic boys.
Just as I was making the chocolate cake, a neighbor knocked on the door. Beatrice was the only person on our road with a telephone. The base had called to say that a heavy tool had come apart suddenly, hitting Johnny’s arm and breaking the bone. My brother Oto took me to the base hospital while my mother stayed with the children.
We got there to find Johnny with a cast on his arm, anxious to get home regardless of the doctor’s orders. It was New Year’s Eve, Johnny argued, and he had the bike to assemble for his boys. The doctor said he’d consider dismissing him the next morning if Johnny could find someone to drive him home. On New Year’s morning, Johnny called the base and was told everyone was off duty; there was no one to drive him home. Then he tried the motor pool. They said orders would have to come from someone higher up, so Johnny kept making calls. At last, a big blue car with the Air Force sign rolled up.
I was putting dinner on the table when hearing the car. We were thrilled to see Johnny assisted by a uniformed Air Force officer. With Otto’s help, Johnny assembled the boys’ gift, and they all had a good time that afternoon. Our hearts were full of gratitude to the people who had gone the extra mile to bring us together.
