The four­foot­tall Pepper and two­foot­tall NAO are set to engage with patients through conversation and observation.The human­shaped robots can read facial expressions, body language, and vocal tones (声调) while adjusting their own faces and voices to imitate human interaction.The robots are programmed to remind residents to exercise and eat, leading them to dance and tell jokes.They will watch for changing habits of residents and even use “cognitive therapy (认知疗法)” to encourage mental agility. UMD professor of computer science Arshia Khan and her graduate students customized Pepper and NAO for the nursing home, which is run by Monarch Healthcare Management.They've begun training the robots to learn the facility floor plans so that Pepper and NAO can travel independently while on duty. Softbank began producing Pepper back in 2014, but paused last year, having only made 27，000.This kind of use case might spark a revival, however.Using robots for healthcare is steadily growing in popularity.For instance, the cat­faced Mylo is designed to be a friendly, comforting image for people with Alzheimer's to interact with on a daily basis.And the New York State Office for the Aging recently gave out free ElliQ robot companions to 800 older adults living independently. “Humanoid robots helping the elderly is the way to move ahead in caring for our elderly，” Khan said.“The growth of the aging population, people affected with dementia, staff shortages and lack of people who can care for our elderly are problems that are growing rapidly.If we don't look for novel approaches and think outside the box our elders will suffer.” [语篇解读]本文是新闻报道。美国明尼苏达州一家养老院开始使用智能看护机器人。 4．What is the main duty of Pepper and NAO in nursing homes? A．To clean facilities. B．To provide medical supplies. C．To perform medical procedures. D．To promote patient care and independence. 解析：选D。细节理解题。由第一段中的“The Pepper and NAO...interact and improve the independence of residents”和第二段中的“The four­foot­tall...through conversation and observation”可知，这两台机器人是为了看护入院老年人、提高他们的独立性而研发的。 5．Why are the AI­powered robots trained to learn the facility floor plans? A．To enable them to move independently while performing their tasks. B．To test their mobility and flexibility in complex environments. C．To ensure they avoid interacting with certain residents. D．To draw an accurate map of the nursing home. 解析：选A。细节理解题。由第三段中的“They've begun training...travel independently while on duty”可知，让这两台机器人了解建筑平面图的目的是希望它们可以独立完成任务。 6．What does the underlined part “spark a revival” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Encourage a discussion. B．Generate a downfall. C．Inspire a comeback. D．Call for an end. 解析：选C。句意猜测题。由第四段中的“Using robots for healthcare is steadily growing in popularity”和上文中提到的疗养院使用智能看护机器人的案例可推知，智能机器人的生产需求可能会再次回升。 7．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The necessity of employing more nursing workers. B．The difficulty in achieving technological breakthroughs. C．The concern for the rapid growth in the aging population.

The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia­Pacific, Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.“The growth of 20­ to 40­person companies that have the speed and technological know­how will directly challenge big companies，” it states. Another study by Pew Research Centre found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create.” “Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created.Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people, there were billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers. [语篇解读]本文是说明文。本文讲述了未来社会的人工智能强劲发展，大约50%的职业将消失，但失去职业并不等于丢掉工作，只是改变了人们的工作内容，更多的新工作会被创造出来。 8．Why are carebots mentioned? A．To give a definition. B．To provide an example. C．To make a comparison. D．To explain a theory. 解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第一段“From self­driving cars to carebots (care＋robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people.”可推断，此处提到护理机器人是为了说明科技快速发展可能对于人类工作存在着威胁而举的例子。故选B。 9．What does the report in Paragraph 3 show? A．People will take the place of AI. B．US technology balances job opportunities. C．Many people have to change occupations. D．Big companies are more innovative and flexible. 解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第三段“But the report states...”可知，研究报告发现行业没了并不意味着就丢了工作，只是工作内容发生了改变。故选C。 10．What is Jonathan Grudin's attitude towards the future of human employment? A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Worried. 解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people, there were billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change”可知，虽然一直都有失业的人，但当我们的人口达到几十亿的时候，就有几十亿的工作机会。有很多事情需要去做且这种状况不会改变。由此推断，Jonathan Grudin 对未来的就业形势是满怀希望的。故选A。 11．Which section of a website is the text most probably taken from? A．Art. B．Travel. C．Education. D．Technology. 解析：选D。文章出处题。根据第一段“But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2035 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.”结合下文可知：文章讲述了科技的发展对就业的影响。技术的发展使人们失去了很多就业机会，但是这只是一种改革，未来会有更多的就业机会出现。因此文章应该是来自网站的科技专栏。故选D。 D (2024·石家庄市六校高二下联考)A recent research suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could hold the potential for predicting sudden cardiac (心脏的) death and assessing an individual's risk to potentially prevent future deaths.This development may mark a novel step towards prevention and global health strategies. Professor Xavier Jouven, lead author of the study, said, “Sudden cardiac death, a public health burden, represents 10% to 20% of overall deaths.Predicting it is difficult, and the usual approaches fail to identify high­risk people, particularly at an individual level.We proposed a new approach.” The scientific team employed AI to analyze medical data obtained from registries and databases in Paris and Seattle.They examined records of 25，000 individuals who had experienced sudden cardiac arrest and compared them with data from 70，000 people from the general population.The matching process involved age, sex and residential area.Using AI, the scientists created about 25，000 personalized health models to evaluate the data and identify individuals at high risk of sudden cardiac death.Additionally, they established a risk file for each participant in the study. The AI analysis was able to identify people who had more than 90% of risk of dying suddenly, and it can predict about more than one­fourth of all cases of sudden cardiac death.“We have been working for almost 30 years in the field of sudden cardiac death prediction.However, we did not expect to reach such a high level of accuracy，” said Jouven, who is the founder of the Paris Sudden Death Expertise Center. Jouven added.“While doctors have efficient treatments, the use of AI is necessary to detect in a given subject a succession of medical information registered over the years.We hope that with a personalized list of risk factors, patients will be able to work with their clinicians to reduce those risk factors and ultimately decrease the potential for sudden cardiac death.” [语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章介绍了人工智能具有预测心源性猝死和评估个人健康风险的潜力。 12．What can be known about sudden cardiac death? A．It is hard to predict and prevent. B．Researchers still can do nothing about it. C．It accounts for the highest percentage of all deaths. D．Old approaches can effectively identify the high­risk people. 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段“Predicting it is difficult, and the usual approaches fail to identify high­risk people, particularly at an individual level.”可知，心源性猝死很难预测与预防。故选A。 13．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the research? A．Its result. B．Its process. C．Its purpose. D．Its participants. 解析：选B。段落大意题。根据第三段“The scientific team employed AI to analyze medical data...”可知，本段主要介绍了研究团队利用人工智能进行心源性猝死研究的过程与方法。故选B。 14．How does Jouven feel about the AI analysis? A．Worried. B．Amazed. C．Annoyed. D．Disappointed. 解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第四段“We have been working for almost 30 years in the field of sudden cardiac death prediction.However, we did not expect to reach such a high level of accuracy”可推断，Jouven对于人工智能分析的精确度如此之高感到很惊讶。故选B。 15．What is the best title for the text? A．The Biggest AI Development in 2024 B．Using AI to Stop Future Cardiac Attack C．Improved Prediction of Death in Patients D．Predicting Sudden Cardiac Death Using AI 解析：选D。标题归纳题。根据第一段“A recent research suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could hold the potential for...”结合文章介绍了人工智能具有预测心源性猝死和评估个人健康风险的潜力，D选项“利用人工智能预测心源性猝死”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2024·长春外国语学校高二下期中) How to Feel Connected It's easy to feel disconnected from what is going on around you in today's fast­paced world.16.
