[2024·河北省部分学校高三联考]Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate (旋转) objects alone through touch, without relying on vision.
Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate a wide variety of objects, such as small toys, cans, and even fruits and vegetables, without damaging them. The robotic hand performed these tasks using only information based on touch. The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate objects in the dark. To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm (掌心) and fingers of a fourfingered robotic hand. Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function: detect whether an object is touching it or not.
What makes this approach unique is that it relies on many lowcost touch sensors that use simple, binary (二进制的) signals—touch or no touch—to perform robotic inhand rotation. These sensors are spread over a large area of the robotic hand. This contrasts with a variety of other approaches that rely on a few highcost touch sensors attached to a small area of the robotic hand,primarily at the fingertips.
The researchers then tested their system on the reallife robotic hand with objects that the system has not yet encountered. The robotic hand was able to rotate a variety of objects without losing its hold. The objects included a tomato, pepper, a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck,which was the most challenging object due to its shape.
Wang and his team are now working on extending their approach to more complex operation tasks. They are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to throw and catch, for example. “If we can give robots this skill, that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform,” said Wang.
1.What does the underlined word “manipulate” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Remove. B.Control.
C.Recognize. D.Distribute.
2.What do we know about the touch sensors of the robotic hand?
A.They are quite expensive.
B.They are mainly in the fingertips.
C.They perform complex tasks.
D.They cover most of its area.
3.What do the researchers' tests on the robotic hand focus on?
A.How well they can function.
B.How fast they can perform tasks.
C.How accurate they will be.
D.How intelligent they become.
4.What does Wang think of their current work on the robotic hand?
A.Challenging. B.Promising.
C.Efficient. D.Eventful.

[2024·湖北省十一校高三第一次联考]Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (光学的) sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new lowcost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object's form and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.
University of California, San Diego, roboticist Xiaolong Wang and his team wanted to find out whether complex actions could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data.
The researchers attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palm and fingers of a fourfingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn't catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot's task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.
They first ran simulations (模拟) to collect enough touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including balls and other irregular objects. Using information from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object's position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.
Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully control previously unfamiliar objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the sensor data were so simple. However, New York University's Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots' interactions, wonders whether the system would fail at more complicated tasks.
So in future work, Wang's group aims to tackle more complex movements as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. “This means that there will be more accurate information from touching that allows reconstructing the object shape,” Wang says. The researchers will also try adding vision to complement touch data for handling complicated shape.
5.What was the intention of the research conducted by Xiaolong Wang's group?
A.To develop a robot with advanced optical sensors.
B.To create a robotic hand to grasp familiar objects.
C.To explore the use of touch data in complex robotic actions.
D.To investigate the impact of lighting on robotic recognition.
6.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The working principle of robot hands in Wang's research.
B.The type of contact sensors attached to the robot hand.
C.The way that robot hands capture different objects.
D.The function of robot hands in Wang's research.
7.How did the researchers gather touch data for the robotic hand's training?
A.They used realworld objects.
B.They used complex optical sensors.
C.They relied on visionbased technology.
D.They conducted simulations with the robot hand.
8.What is XiaoLong Wang's attitude towards Pinto's concern over the system?
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Unclear. D.Dismissive.
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项新的低成本技术可以让机器人手“感觉”一个不熟悉的物体的形状,并仅根据这些信息就能熟练地处理它。
5.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“University of California, San Diego, roboticist Xiaolong Wang and his team wanted to find out whether complex actions could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data.”可知王晓龙的团队旨在弄明白仅使用简单的触摸数据是否可以在机器人中实现复杂的动作,即探索触摸数据在复杂机器人动作中的应用。
6.答案与解析:A 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段内容可知,作者主要介绍模拟实验中安装了接触式传感器的机械手臂的工作原理。
7.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“They first ran simulations (模拟) to collect enough touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects.”可知,研究者们是通过模拟实验来搜集数据的。
8.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,其他同行对于他们的研究现状很担忧,王晓龙和他的团队选择以积极的态度去应对,进一步进行模拟实验,完善他们的数据。
Ⅱ.七选五
[2024·山东省济宁市三模]Growing plants is often seen as a very “green” thing to do, but like many products, they take a huge amount of energy to produce. __1__ For example, they use geothermal (地热的) energy to heat greenhouses and solar power to supply electricity and lighting. While domestic growing doesn't involve the same carbon footprint as commercial growing, it's important to consider what we can all do to minimize our own impact while still enjoying growing plants.
Overconsumption of plants is a big issue. It's so easy to get overexcited when you see all these incredible plants, and you can end up carrying home huge numbers of them. __2__ The more plants you have, the more limited your time and resources become, and plants can suffer. This leads to another issue—many people may end up throwing away their plants which don't look perfect or stop flowering, in a similar way to the world of fast fashion. __3__.
If you are ready and able to increase your collection, propagate (繁殖) from your own plants rather than buying more, and share plants with others. __4__ Meanwhile, we can build a community of likeminded, passionate plant people.
Recycling takes a huge amount of input, which can end up more damaging to the environment, so instead of buying something of lower quality that needs replacing every year, buy fewer things of a higher quality. __5__And they can be passed down the generations.
A.But large collections call for an enormous amount of work.
B.Many commercial growers continue to market their produce.
C.This removes the need to buy plants and encourages a sharing culture.
D.These will last many years and be more costeffective in the long term.
E.So it's important to assess your collection and buy plants you have time to look after.
F.Throwing them away will greatly reduce your gardening footprint on the environment.
G.Many largescale growers have used technology to minimize their impact on the environment.
Ⅱ.七选五
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了植物过度消耗所带来的危害,以及我们该如何做。
1.答案与解析:G 上文“Growing plants is often seen as a very ‘green’ thing to do, but like many products, they take a huge amount of energy to produce.”提到种植植物需要大量的能源,下文“For example, they use geothermal(地热的) energy to heat greenhouses and solar power to supply electricity and lighting.”举例说明种植者是如何减少种植对环境的影响,下文的“They”代指选项G中的“Many largescale growers”。
2.答案与解析:A 上文“It's so easy to get overexcited when you see all these incredible plants, and you can end up carrying home huge numbers of them.”提到将大量植物带回家,下文“The more plants you have, the more limited your time and resources become, and plants can suffer.”指出将大量植物带回家所产生的不好结果,即为什么不要将大量植物带回家,由此可知,空处引起下文,和上文是转折关系,也是指出为什么不要将大量植物带回家,故选A。
3.答案与解析:E 上文“This leads to another issue—many people may end up throwing away their plants which don't look perfect or stop flowering, in a similar way to the world of fast fashion.”可知,将大量植物带回家的结果是最终会抛弃那些看起来不完美的植物,空处对本段进行总结,告诉我们正确的做法是什么,故选E。
4.答案与解析:C 上文“If you are ready and able to increase your collection, propagate(繁殖) from your own plants rather than buying more, and share plants with others.”提到要用自己的植物繁殖,并且与他人分享,空处承接上文,指出这么做的好处,上文中的“share plants with others”呼应选项C中的“a sharing culture”。
5.答案与解析:D 上文指出与其买一些质量较差的东西,每年都需要更换,不如少买一些质量较高的东西,空处承接上文,解释了这么做的原因 “These”代指上文“buy fewer things of a higher quality”,故选D。
Ⅲ.语法填空

[2024·河北省部分学校高三联考]Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate (旋转) objects alone through touch, without relying on vision.
Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate a wide variety of objects, such as small toys, cans, and even fruits and vegetables, without damaging them. The robotic hand performed these tasks using only information based on touch. The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate objects in the dark. To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm (掌心) and fingers of a fourfingered robotic hand. Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function: detect whether an object is touching it or not.
What makes this approach unique is that it relies on many lowcost touch sensors that use simple, binary (二进制的) signals—touch or no touch—to perform robotic inhand rotation. These sensors are spread over a large area of the robotic hand. This contrasts with a variety of other approaches that rely on a few highcost touch sensors attached to a small area of the robotic hand,primarily at the fingertips.
The researchers then tested their system on the reallife robotic hand with objects that the system has not yet encountered. The robotic hand was able to rotate a variety of objects without losing its hold. The objects included a tomato, pepper, a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck,which was the most challenging object due to its shape.
Wang and his team are now working on extending their approach to more complex operation tasks. They are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to throw and catch, for example. “If we can give robots this skill, that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform,” said Wang.
1.What does the underlined word “manipulate” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Remove. B.Control.
C.Recognize. D.Distribute.
2.What do we know about the touch sensors of the robotic hand?
A.They are quite expensive.
B.They are mainly in the fingertips.
C.They perform complex tasks.
D.They cover most of its area.
3.What do the researchers' tests on the robotic hand focus on?
A.How well they can function.
B.How fast they can perform tasks.
C.How accurate they will be.
D.How intelligent they become.
4.What does Wang think of their current work on the robotic hand?
A.Challenging. B.Promising.
C.Efficient. D.Eventful.

[2024·湖北省十一校高三第一次联考]Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (光学的) sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new lowcost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object's form and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.
University of California, San Diego, roboticist Xiaolong Wang and his team wanted to find out whether complex actions could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data.
The researchers attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palm and fingers of a fourfingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn't catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot's task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.
They first ran simulations (模拟) to collect enough touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including balls and other irregular objects. Using information from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object's position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.
Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully control previously unfamiliar objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the sensor data were so simple. However, New York University's Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots' interactions, wonders whether the system would fail at more complicated tasks.
So in future work, Wang's group aims to tackle more complex movements as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. “This means that there will be more accurate information from touching that allows reconstructing the object shape,” Wang says. The researchers will also try adding vision to complement touch data for handling complicated shape.
5.What was the intention of the research conducted by Xiaolong Wang's group?
A.To develop a robot with advanced optical sensors.
B.To create a robotic hand to grasp familiar objects.
C.To explore the use of touch data in complex robotic actions.
D.To investigate the impact of lighting on robotic recognition.
6.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The working principle of robot hands in Wang's research.
B.The type of contact sensors attached to the robot hand.
C.The way that robot hands capture different objects.
D.The function of robot hands in Wang's research.
7.How did the researchers gather touch data for the robotic hand's training?
A.They used realworld objects.
B.They used complex optical sensors.
C.They relied on visionbased technology.
D.They conducted simulations with the robot hand.
8.What is XiaoLong Wang's attitude towards Pinto's concern over the system?
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Unclear. D.Dismissive.

[2024·山东省济宁市三模]Growing plants is often seen as a very “green” thing to do, but like many products, they take a huge amount of energy to produce. __1__ For example, they use geothermal (地热的) energy to heat greenhouses and solar power to supply electricity and lighting. While domestic growing doesn't involve the same carbon footprint as commercial growing, it's important to consider what we can all do to minimize our own impact while still enjoying growing plants.
Overconsumption of plants is a big issue. It's so easy to get overexcited when you see all these incredible plants, and you can end up carrying home huge numbers of them. __2__ The more plants you have, the more limited your time and resources become, and plants can suffer. This leads to another issue—many people may end up throwing away their plants which don't look perfect or stop flowering, in a similar way to the world of fast fashion. __3__.
If you are ready and able to increase your collection, propagate (繁殖) from your own plants rather than buying more, and share plants with others. __4__ Meanwhile, we can build a community of likeminded, passionate plant people.
Recycling takes a huge amount of input, which can end up more damaging to the environment, so instead of buying something of lower quality that needs replacing every year, buy fewer things of a higher quality. __5__And they can be passed down the generations.
A.But large collections call for an enormous amount of work.
B.Many commercial growers continue to market their produce.
C.This removes the need to buy plants and encourages a sharing culture.
D.These will last many years and be more costeffective in the long term.
E.So it's important to assess your collection and buy plants you have time to look after.
F.Throwing them away will greatly reduce your gardening footprint on the environment.
G.Many largescale growers have used technology to minimize their impact on the environment.
