1.In __________ (conclude), walking is a cheap, safe, enjoyable and readily available form of exercise.
conclusion
解析 句意为:总之,散步是一种廉价、安全、愉快的锻炼方式,而且随时随地都可以进行。in conclusion是固定短语,意为“总之;最后”。故填conclusion。

cruelty
解析 句意为:我并不是说你应该接受残酷和不公正,而是要学会在事物不那么完美的时候去爱它们。设空处与injustice共同作accept的宾语,应用名词。cruelty在此处意为“残酷;不公”,表抽象意义,用作不可数名词,故填cruelty。
4.They brought the injured woman out and put her on a stretcher_______ (gentle).
gently
解析 句意为:他们把那位受伤的女士抬了出来,然后轻轻地放在了担架上。 设空处修饰动词put,应该用副词。

5.Playing games and singing songs provide an opportunity for classroom _______________ (interact).
interaction
解析 句意为:玩游戏和唱歌提供了课堂互动的机会。设空处之前是名词classroom,此处为名词修饰名词,作介词for的宾语,意为“交流;沟通”,故填interaction。
6.We felt at home with her and were impressed ________ the depth of her knowledge.

8.In short, so impressive is their work that they all deserve ________ (praise) and learning from.
praising
解析 句意为:总之,他们的工作成果令人印象十分深刻,所以他们都值得表扬和学习。设空处与learning并列作deserve的宾语,应用动名词形式;deserve doing sth意为“某事值得被做”,用主动形式表示被动意义。
刷单句填空
【知识拓展】deserve/need/require的用法
deserve作“应受;应得”讲,need和require作“需要”讲时,其后常接动名词的主动形式或不定式的被动形式,表示被动含义。如:The dishes need washing/to be washed.这些餐具需要清洗。

9.__________________ (test) several times, the new product will be put into the market.
Having been tested
解析 句意为:经过几次试验之后,这一新产品将上市。句中已经有谓语will be put,设空处与其之间没有连词连接,故用非谓语形式。test与句子主语the new product之间是逻辑上的被动关系,并且先于be put into the market这一动作发生,故填现在分词完成式的被动式。
10.Thanks to your generous help, without _______ I wouldn’t have made such great progress.
which
解析 句意为:感谢你的慷慨帮助,否则我不会有这么大的进步。此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词是your generous help,指物,关系代词替代先行词,作介词without的宾语,应填关系代词which。

[河南洛阳2024高二期中] Everybody likes to laugh sometimes, whether at a funny joke, an amusing incident or a comical photograph or sound. The great thing is that once we’ve had a good laugh, we feel happier. It would seem, therefore, that bringing a bit of humor into more serious situations might be good for us.
Places like a humorless office or a tense classroom could sometimes do with a good dose of laughter. Seeing the funny side of things can certainly lift our spirits and that in turn can make us feel better about what we’re doing. Maybe we should get inspiration from Steve Carlisle, president of General Motors of Canada. He says “Humor can help people feel more relaxed, more comfortable and thus be more effective at what they do.” Humor can be used by teachers in the classroom too. It’s a good way to break the ice with students and create a more relaxed atmosphere which is good for learning.

19
But we have to be careful: Not everyone laughs at the same things. While some of us may admire a work colleague or fellow student for their well-told joke, others may consider them offensive! According to Professor Schweitzer, from the University of Philadelphia’s Wharton School, a worker or boss who successfully uses humor is seen as both confident and competent, which in turn increases his or her status. His study Risky Business: When Humor Increases and Decreases Status also found that someone who tells inappropriate jokes is also seen as confident but they’re also regarded as incompetent.
So telling the right jokes in the office or classroom can spread some happiness. A study published in the Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management in 2006, which found for healthcare workers, emotional exhaustion was significantly lower among those who experienced greater levels of fun at work. And other research has discovered that teams who share more jokes gave more supportive and constructive statements to each other and that’s no joke!

[浙江杭州地区重点中学2023高二期中联考] It seems no one can really agree on the question of “What’s so funny?” So imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh. But that’s exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to do by designing an AI robot that takes its cues through a shared-laughter system. The scientists describe their innovative approach to building a funny bone for the Japanese android “Erica” in the latest issue of the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI.
“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy (同感),” explained lead author Dr Koji Inoue, an assistant professor at Kyoto University in the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology within the Graduate School of Informatics.“One way a robot can empathise with users is to share their laughter.”
刷阅读理解
26
In the shared-laughter model, a human initially laughs and the AI system responds with laughter as an empathetic response. This approach required designing three subsystems—one to detect laughter, a second to decide whether to laugh, and a third to choose the type of appropriate laughter. The type of laughter is important, because in some cases a polite chuckle may be more appropriate than a loud snort of laughter.
The team tested Erica’s new sense of humour by creating four different short dialogues between a person and Erica with her new shared-laughter system. Then they asked more than 130 people in total to listen to each dialogue within the three different conditions—a shared-laughter system, no laughter, all laughter—and evaluated the interactions based on human-likeness, naturalness and understanding. The shared-laughter system performed better than either baseline.
刷阅读理解
27
“Robots should actually have a distinct character, and we think that they can show this through their conversational behaviours, such as laughing, eye gaze, gestures and speaking style,” Inoue added.“We do not think this is an easy problem at all, and it may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.”

B
A.Designing the subsystem to decide whether to laugh.
