At the World Robot Conference 2023 in late August in Beijing, there were two robots that looked like the Chinese poets Li Bai and Du Fu. These are called bionic (仿生的) robots.The robot's skin is usually made of silicone (硅胶)．CGTN explained in a video about Liaoning-based producer. The robot's skin is very soft.You can even see veins under the skin. As more human-like robots come out, safety will be the key, according to the Robot Report website. When a 70-kilogram robot breaks down and falls, humans nearby may get hurt. 滴水穿石　 1．由文积词汇 conference n．　　　　 会议 vein n. 血管 muscle n. 肌肉 sensor n. 传感器 unstable adj. 不稳定的 break down 出故障 2．据文悟句式 句①：while引导的时间状语从句。 句②：“when＋现在分词”省略结构。 句③：because引导的表语从句中嵌套有that引导的定语从句。 No.4 课时跟踪检测 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Imagine a team of humans and robots working together to process online orders.Real-life workers strategically positioned among their automated coworkers who are moving intelligently back and forth in a warehouse space, picking items for shipping to the customer. This could become a reality sooner or later thanks to researchers at the University of Missouri, who are working to speed up the online delivery process by developing a software model designed to make transport robots smarter. “The robotic technology already exists，” said Sharan Srinivas, who specializes in data analytics and operations research.“Our goal is to best apply this technology through efficient planning.To do this, we're asking questions like ‘given a list of items to pick, how do you optimize (优化) the route plan for the human pickers and robots？’ or ‘how many items should a robot pick in a given tour？’ Likewise, we have a similar set of questions for the human worker.The most challenging part is optimizing the collaboration plan between the human pickers and robots.” Currently, a lot of human effort and labor costs are involved with fulfilling online orders.To help optimize this process, robotic companies have already developed cooperative robots, also known as cobots or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to work in a warehouse or distribution center.AMRs are equipped with sensors and cameras to help them navigate (确定方向) around a controlled space like a warehouse. Srinivas said, “The robot is intelligent, so if it's instructed to go to a particular location, it can navigate the warehouse and not hit any workers or other obstacles along the way.AMRs are not designed to replace human workers, but instead can work cooperatively alongside them to help increase the efficiency of the order fulfillment process.” “The one drawback is that these robots do not have good grasping abilities，” said Srinivas.“But humans are good at grasping items, so we are trying to balance the strength of both resources.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究，密苏里大学的研究人员正在开发一种软件模型，旨在使运输机器人更智能，从而加快在线运输过程。 √ 1．What can we learn from the passage? A．Now only robots pick items for shipping to the customer. B．AMRs are designed to replace human beings. C．Few labor costs are involved with fulfilling online orders. D．Some researchers are working to speed up the online delivery process. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“This could become ...robots smarter.”可知，密苏里大学的研究人员正在通过开发一种旨在让运输机器人更智能化的软件模型来加速在线交付进程。故选D。 √ 2．What is the function of the sensors equipped on AMRs? A．To look cool. B．To sense warnings. C．To direct AMRs' way. D．To find human workers. 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“AMRs are equipped with sensors and cameras to help them navigate (确定方向) around a controlled space like a warehouse.”可知，AMRs配备了传感器是为了在像仓库这样的受控空间内导航，也就是引导AMRs的方向。故选C。 √ 3．What are AMRs bad at? A．Holding. B．Jumping. C．Climbing. D．Walking. 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘The one drawback is that these robots do not have good grasping abilities，’ said Srinivas.”可知，AMRs不擅长抓取物品。故选A。 4．Which can be the best title for the text? A．The Simple Use of Robots B．Making Transport Robots Smarter C．Workers in the Warehouse D．Various Robots Invented by Sharan √ 解析：标题归纳题。根据第二段“This could become ...robots smarter.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了密苏里大学的研究人员正在开发一种软件模型，旨在让运输机器人更加智能化，从而加快在线交付进程。因此B项“让运输机器人更智能”可以作为本文的标题。 B How can people speak their mind without saying anything? This is a question that scientists have aimed to answer for a long time.Researchers recently brought an upgraded device that can translate users' brain waves into daily speech. Previously, the team led by Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, developed an AI-based system that can identify up to 50 commonly used words based on the participant's brain waves.The participant was a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man who had been implanted with 16 electrodes (电极) under his skull. According to their paper published in November, the team upgraded the system which can now translate thoughts into complete sentences on a computer screen. Their tests showed that the device could decode silently spoken letters from a 1,152-word vocabulary at a speed of about 29 characters per minute.The accuracy was up to 94 percent.“It shows strong promise for restoring communication by tapping into the brain's natural speech machinery，” Chang said to the university's news website. However, this method can still be problematic since users still need to undergo surgery.Scientists at the University of Texas, US, have tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science. The new technique is called fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像)．It's a safer way of “reading” brain activity.Active brain cells have more oxygen.By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity. The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains.Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the fMRI recording.It matched the radio shows pretty well. Also, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched.The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in brain-computer interfaces (脑机接口) designed for people who cannot speak or type. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款基于人工智能系统的升级设备，研究人员用该设备可以将人类脑电波转换成日常语言。 5．What do we know about the device mentioned in paragraph 2? A．It was implanted into a man's heart. B．It can help restore patients' lost memory. C．It was developed through cooperation. D．It can identify about 50 rarely used words. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，该设备是由Edward Chang领导的团队开发出来的，是通过合作发展起来的。 √ √ 6．How does fMRI “read” people's minds? A．By tracking their active brain cells. B．By putting electrodes into their brains. C．By recording their reaction to radio shows. D．By matching their brain activity with their habits. 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Active brain cells have more oxygen.By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.”可知，fMRI是通过追踪活跃的脑细胞去读懂人们的思想的。 √ 7．Why is fMRI chosen compared to the first device mentioned in the story? A．It's cheaper.　　　　 B．It's more accurate. C．It's smaller in size. D．It's safer. 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段中的“The new technique is called fMRI ... a safer way of ‘reading’ brain activity.”可知，该设备比之前的设备更加安全。 8．What can be concluded about fMRI from the last two paragraphs? A．It can only read what participants hear. B．It can be used in brain-computer interfaces. C．It can read every detail of participants' minds. D．It cannot work out what people imagine in their heads. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知，它可以用于脑机接口。 √ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 The recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have aroused heated debate globally.As science fiction starts to become reality, AI products are now slowly coming into homes and workplaces. 9 Will unemployment rate become higher in the future? Will low-end labors cause social unrest (动荡)? However, more optimistically speaking, I believe that AI is a great helper, and the focus of AI should not be just on cool devices or automation. 10 AI has the potential to greatly improve things like healthcare, education, poverty and security.AI machines can do some very beneficial things today that humans will simply never be able to do. And of course, AI is just used to make up for the disadvantages of the human mind, not to replace it. 11 We process millions of sensory inputs automatically, allowing us to learn and respond to our environment. But the human brain only contains about 300 million pattern processors that are responsible for human thought.What if we could complement (补足) all of our amazing ideas with not just more data, but also more data processing capability? 12 “Precision medicine” (精准医疗) is a great example to illustrate AI's positive impact when we equip it with human skills.Precision medicine is an emerging approach to disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. 13 For example, around 25,000 people in the US are diagnosed with brain tumors (肿瘤) every year.Traditionally, they might all be given the same course of treatment to see what might work in a one-size-fits-all approach.Precision medicine will allow doctors and researchers to predict more accurately which treatment and prevention strategies for a particular disease will work in which groups of people. A．Our life is becoming more and more convenient. B．Think of it as a type of personalized medical care. C．The human brain is the most elegant computer in existence. D．Imagine how we would rethink every single problem that exists today. E．Instead, we can rethink how to solve the world's existing problems with AI. F．Precision medicine helps doctors and nurses figure out what the problem is. G．This is raising concerns about the potential harmful effects of AI on the job market. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了人工智能产品给人们生活带来的各种影响。 9．选G　根据上下文可知，此处在讲人们对人工智能给就业市场带来的影响的担忧。故G选项“这正在引起人们对人工智能对就业市场潜在有害影响的担忧”承上启下，符合语境。 10．选E　根据上下文可知，人工智能能够带来很多好处，可以帮助人们解决一些现存的问题。E选项“相反，我们可以重新思考如何用人工智能解决世界上现存的问题”承上启下，符合语境。 11．选C　上文提到人工智能是对人脑缺陷的弥补，而非替代，下文提到人脑的诸多功能，故C选项“人类的大脑是现存的最优雅的计算机”承上启下，符合语境。 12．选D　根据本段内容可知，此处在讲述对现存问题的反思。故D选项“想象一下我们应如何重新思考今天存在的每一个问题”承接上文，符合语境。 13．选B　根据空前一句及下文的举例可知，此处指人工智能能够给人提供个性化的医疗护理。故B选项“把它看作是一种个性化的医疗护理”承上启下，符合语境。 Another human-like robot also attracted attention recently.It was created by US company.Named Apollo, it has around 30 muscles. For now，the robot can only make simple movements, such as walking and waving. The robot's head has cameras and sensors inside. They can help it map out a 360-degree view of its environment. walking on unstable surfaces. Nowadays, bionic human-like robots mostly work with humans, such as by being tour guides or helping visitors at front desks. machines that look and act like them.They can “strike a chord (引起共鸣) with people，”a US robotics scientist Marc Raibert told New Yorker. $$
