At this moment. in the 2020s, anyone who reads a book or a newspaper in Chinese should thank Wang Xuan, a pioneer of modern Chinese-language printing. Wang is known as the father of Chinese language typesetting. He invented a computerized laser photocomposition system (计算机激光照排系统) for Chinese characters in the 1970s , turning a new page in the history of printing in China. Before Wang's invention, people printed books and newspapers with movable block type (活字印刷). This was invented by Bi Sheng. Workers made character blocks(字符块)out of lead and put them in a frame for printing. This took a lot of time, as there were always many blocks to place in a frame. At the time, it would take more than 30 people 8 hours a day to print just one page of a newspaper, according to a worker at People's Daily Wang changed this situation. In 1974,he began to study laser photocomposition. This was the most advanced printing way at the time. Only a few Western countries were working on it. But it was not yet on the market. Without any experience to borrow from, Wang studied this nearly unknown world. It's said that he took no holidays and worked more than 65 hours a week on this project. In 1980,Wang’s hard work finally paid off. A 26-page story about kung fu became China's first laser-printed book. In late 1988, Economic Daily became the first Chinese newspaper to use laser printing technology. With Wang’s system, a newspaper could be typeset in just 20minutes. China's printing industry has said goodbye to the times of lead and fire. ( )15.When did Wang Xuan invent a computerized laser photocomposition system for Chinese characters? A. About 50 years ago.

Al scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies. Facial recognition(人脸识别) is one of them. Al is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. Nowadays, the Chinese police use this technology to identify and catch criminals. For example, the police once caught a man in a concert, who fought with others in the restaurant and ran away after that. It also checks the ID of ride-hailing(网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile. Al is also used in self-driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving. Most drivers may wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars don't have this ability. Car makers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans. The system can show what self-driving cars will do. For example, if a driverless car is yielding( 让路), it will flash two white lights side to side. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up. Service robots also show you how powerful Al is. Imagine this-you come back from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers. AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs. ( )19.The underlined word “criminals” in Paragraph 2 means___ A. people who work in restaurants and get no paid B. people who make serious mistakes and should be punished C. people who make a lot of modern technologies D. people who like to have a meal with police ( )20.

Service robots only do the work as a real music teacher ( )22. What's the passage mainly about? A. The future of service robots. B. The importance of technology development C. An introduction about AI technologies. D. The development of self-driving cars. 八年级下册英语第17周综合训练答案 1-5 ACDBC 6-10 ADCBA 11-14 DCDC 15-18 ABDA 19-22 BDAC 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
