【題目】Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
（1）How are social robots different from household robots?
A.They can control their emotions.
B.They are more like humans.
C.They do the normal housework.
D.They respond to users more slowly.
（2）What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A.Communicate with you and perform operations.
B.Answer your questions and make requests.
C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D.Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
（3）What can Oshbot work as?
A.A language teacher.
B.A tour guide.
C.A shop assistant.
D.A private nurse.
（4）We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.
A.train employees
B.be our workmates
C.improve technologies
D.take the place of workers
（5）What does the passage mainly present?
A.A new design idea of household robots.
B.Marketing strategies for social robots。
C.Information on household robots.
D.An introduction to social robots.

4.B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Breazeal 的話(huà)“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us”可以推斷出社會(huì)機(jī)器人可以和我們一起做事情。故選B。

【題目】Up to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia — short-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the “extraordinary rise” in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.

Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的) beyond 2m. It is often caused by an elongation (拉伸) of the eyeball that happens when people are young. According to the research, the problem is being caused by a combination of factors — a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.

Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework. This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.

Cultural factors also seem to play a part. Across many parts of South East Asian children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sightedness.

A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from “high” myopia. One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障礙) and even blindness. These people are at considerable risk-sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses-they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.

For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. But this study strongly suggests an alternative view. “Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn’t fit with that speed of change; gene pools just don’t change in two generations. Whether it’s a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome, it really doesn't matter, the thing that’s changed is not the gene pool—it's the environment.”

【1】As is mentioned above, which factor mainly results in students' myopia in South East Asia?

A. Lack of research into the problem. B. Genetic faults of the people.

C. Elongation of the eyeball. D. The shortage of outdoor light.

【2】Which of the following statements do you think Professor Morgan agrees with?

A. A lunchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.

B. Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.

C. It's necessary to treat myopia with an operation.

D. It's of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.

【3】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.

B. Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing problem.

C. An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.

D. The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.

【4】What's the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?

A. Look at the sun from time to time. B. Do eyes exercise regularly.

C. Spend more time in the open air. D. Equip the classroom with better lights.
