(2024·珠海高二检测)In one of the more unusual experiments we've seen recently,researchers attached a large pair of cartoonish huge eyes to the front of a small,self-driving vehicle—and it turns out that this kind of adaptation could actually improve pedestrian(行人) safety.
A pair of eyes on the front of driverless vehicles could,according to the researchers,give people standing by the road a better idea of whether they've been seen.That's one useful bit of information to have when it comes to determining the perfect moment to cross in front of oncoming traffic.“If the car is not looking at the pedestrian,this implies that the car does not recognize the pedestrian,” said one of the researchers.“Thus,pedestrians can judge that they should not cross the street,thereby avoiding potential traffic accidents.”
For the purposes of this study,the researchers used a car which seemed as if no one was inside.A pair of large,swiveling(旋转的) eyes on the front were controlled by researchers,but in the future could be controlled by the car's AI on an actual self-driving vehicle.
To keep the 18 participants safe,experiments were conducted in virtual reality.The volunteers—nine men and nine women—were asked to decide whether or not to cross the road as the car approached.Four scenarios(方案) were tested in total;two when the car was fitted with eyes,and two when it wasn't.The researchers measured how often people hesitated to cross when it was in fact safe to do so,and how often they chose to cross when it was dangerous.Overall,the presence of the eyes led to safer and smoother crossing experiences for the participants.
However,there was a gender split in the results.For men,the eyes only really helped in dangerous situations,warning them to pause when they might otherwise proceed.For women,the eyes boosted confidence by signaling it was safe to cross.
1.What is the function of cartoonish huge eyes?
A.Improving the safety of self-driving vehicles.
B.Helping people decide when to cross the road.
C.Keeping pedestrians in a complete safe state.
D.Promoting the appearance of self-driving vehicles.
2.What can we know about the experiments?
A.There was a robot in the car.
B.The pair of large eyes were controlled by AI.
C.The experiments were designed by 18 volunteers.
D.Experiments weren't conducted in real surroundings.
3.What is the author's attitude toward the conclusion of the experiments?
A.Doubtful. B.Objective.
C.Negative. D.Positive.
4.Why does the author write the text?
A.To advertise a new self-driving technology.
B.To enhance pedestrians' awareness of safety.
C.To inform us of a new research on driverless vehicles.
D.To introduce the influence of a new type of car.

(2024·济南高二检测)Harvesting fruits is a very demanding job.If pickers are not available,fruits will rot on the trees.But with pickers in short supply in recent years,growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their fruits.1.
An Israeli company has developed the world's only flying autonomous robots.The robots fly near a tree and pick fruits with their arms.They are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and color of the fruit.2. In addition,they can collect more fruits than a picker during a given time.
3. The flying robots are connected to a platform that acts as the power source so that they never run out of power.They will work all day and night in any weather without taking a break.
Dozens of these smart robots can be used across an orchard(果园) during the time when the fruit is ready to be harvested.The farmers just need to tell the company how many flying robots they need and how long they will be used.4.
The robots are now picking pears in Israel.The company also plans to add more tasks to the robot's function.5. In the future,fewer people will work in picking and more people will work in managing the robots,analyzing the data and making decisions.
A.So only the ripe ones are picked.
B.Now a new type of robot can come to their help.
C.Finding fruit pickers is farmers' biggest concern.
D.They can receive timely information from the robots.
E.Another advantage of the robots is that they never feel tired.
