入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 2 Robots (建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·南昌二模)Robots are now being employed notjust for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines orrescuing people in disasters. They are also findingapplications as household help and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent.A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at LudwigMaximiliansUniversität(LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards them based on moral principles.According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question：“Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives？” The participants were faced with a hypothetical(假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine.The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous(无名的) humans.“This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot，” says Paulus. “One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

She might even need to work with a puppeteer (拉线木偶表演者) to make the movements look natural.

选修七 Unit 2 Robots练习I.阅读理解AClaude Sammut, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia, said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.For many years, Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup, where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.As he explains, the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own, but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney, who is one of the best football players in the world.Mr Sammut also said, “In 1968, John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy, who was then the chess champion in Scotland, that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him. It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eve ntually such programs came into being.”“In the same spirit of a grand challenge, RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050. To achieve this, or come even closer to the ambition, the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments. This will require major advances in perception (感知), decision-making, learning, and co-operative behaviors. Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems, great advances will also be needed in sensors (传感器), energy storage, and materials.”语篇解读：你相信机器人的球技有一天会超过人类吗？科学家预测在2050年，人类最好的足球队将被机器人打败。

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·河北省高三年级名校联考) In elementary school，Glenn Cameron was very aware of the challenges faced by his friend，Roger，who had lost a hand.Now he has built an artificial helper for him.The robotic hand is called “Dexi”．Each of its fingers can move independently.The strength and speed of the hand's“muscles” can be controlled.He's also created a digital version of this hand，which responds on a computer screen.Through a special headset，the system takes electrical signals from a human brain，sends them to a computer，and then the computer “ tells” the hand what to do.For example，to make the hand close，you “see” a fist in your head.In fact，Cameron's first robotic hand was 3D printed online.Realizing the hand was too limited，he decided to build his own.It was quite a challenge，but his new version was better.It was also cheap，compared to many other robotic hand projects.Cameron says designing and building the hand was hard，but he went on.Then came the one Roger is using.Cameron is working on a hand that can actually be used by a person who's lost a hand at present.He says the new hand will be simpler，because there won't be as much space.To make up for this，he's adding a mini camera and trying to make the hand smarter.Cameron encourages young people who think they might want to do something demanding and similar，“ You just begin working towards it.Take one little step at a time，purposeful and steadfast，sooner or later you're going to get to the place you long for.”语篇解读在小学的时候，Glenn Cameron看到朋友缺少一只手，内心很受触动，他现在已经制造出了可以由人脑控制的机械手来帮助朋友。

Besides his normal morning and afternoon personal visits，Gandsas uses the $150,000 robot to visit patients at night or when problems arise.The robot can circle the bed and adjust the position of its two cameras，giving the perception from the patient's standpoint that the doctor is there.“They love it.They'd rather see me through the robot，” he said of his patients' reaction to the machine.Nurse Florence Ford，who has worked with the robot since it was introduced about 18 months ago，said patients have reacted well，particularly because “seeing the doctor's face gives t hem confidence.”Gandsas presented the idea to hospital leaders as a method to more closely observe patients following weightloss operation.Since its introduction，Dr Alex found that nearly one third of his 376 patients went out of hospital earlier than first expected.Michael Chan，president of InTouch Technologies，said his company's device allows doctors to “be in more than one place at the same time.”Speaking with Gandsas through one of the robots at company headquarters，Chan said the company designs applications for the devices in remote areas and for dealing with shortages of health care workers.“They will soon be big ，”said Chan when as ked about their future. 36．According to Dr Alex，the purpose of using robots in the hospital is that ______.A．robots can provide patients more fun than doctorsB．patients will be closely watched after being operated onC．robots can free doctors from their great work pressure D．hospitals can solve the problem of lacking medical workers 37．According to the passage，which of the following statements of the robot is Correct?A．It has replaced Dr Alex to visit his patients every day.B．The patients would rather have it treat their diseases.C．It has reduced the duty that doctors should have for their patients. D．Patients are likely to be treated even when doctors are far away. 38．By using robots，Dr Alex finds that ______.A．patients visited by robots may recover completely soonerB．the number of patients in his hospital is reducing a lotC．he can operate on different patients at the same time D．their hospital doesn't need as many medical workers as before 39．From the last sentence，we can learn that Michael Chan thinks that ______.A．people won't believe robots will do well in the futureB．in the future bigger robots will be made to satisfy the needs C．more robots of this kind will be used in hospitalsD．the prices of the robots will be greatly reduced in the future 40．What would be the best title of the passage?A．Robot Replaces Doctors to Treat PatientsB．Robot Visits Patients When Doctors Can'tC．Hightech Makes Patients Better Communicate with DoctorsD．Robot Has Begun to Play a Great Part in Hospital ManagementBEveryone is seeking happiness，but there is no specific definition about what happiness is，because for different people，happiness means different things.State of happiness comes when you feel great joy and satisfaction in life.The unity of soul and mind is very important for getting happiness，because mind creates a comfortable environment for the soul.And mind has the power to control human actions and feelings. The essence（本质）of happiness lies in the fact that you do what brings you pleasure.It's very simple.A person has a builtin system，an analogue （模拟的）GPS（Global Positioning System）.GPS is a piece of equipmentthat is most often put in cars，and shows the route from its present location to the destination.Here's how it works.You get in your car，choose a destination，and specify an exact address.GPS immediately determines the best route and the arrow（箭头）shows the direction of the route.If you follow the instructions of GPS all the time，you will arrive at your destination.If you do not follow the instructions，it will say“change the route”．So here's your “GPS”；it is your emotional system.When you feel joy，you're going the right way to a happy life.When you feel sad and depressed，you're going in the wrong direction.Your “GPS”says：“Change the route.”Some people are so used to this “change the route”that they in general no longer hear the “GPS”.Change the route—it's your dissatisfaction，negative emotions and a sense of unhappiness.Listen to your GPS.If the way is chosen incorrectly，your “GPS” would tell you to “change the route”．To gain your happiness，do follow your “GPS”.41．It can be learned from the first paragraph that ______.A．one's happiness is that he/she lives comfortablyB．one's mind has nothing to do with one's happinessC．the author gave an exact definition about happinessD．different people have different ideas about happiness42．In the author's opinion，we can gain happiness by ______.A．putting GPS in the carB．listening to the advice from othersC．doing what can make us feel pleasedD．trying our best to keep our mind peaceful43．What is the function of GPS?A．It can judge whether a person is happy.B．It can show the user the best route to follow.C．It can help a driver avoid traffic accidents.D．It can make the user get to the destination immediately. 44．People mentioned in Paragraph 3 who are used to “change the route”______.A．don't have a happy lifeB．don't know how to use GPSC．don't have a builtin systemD．follow the instructions of GPS45．What's the structure of the passage?A．①—②—③④ B．①②—③④C．①—②③—④ D．①②—③—④Ⅳ．七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
