Thanks to researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University,robot guide dogs that use an artificial intelligence(AI language model may soon come to 17 million people with visual (problems in China. The AI guide dog,developed by the university,can help with tasks like crossing streets,using elevators,and navigating (indoor spaces without beiug connected to the Internet. Robot guide dog is an intelligent machine with a physical form.It can interact with the environment in real-time using 3D cameras,laser radars,and sensors()to execute instructions or make decisions."Though in recent years there have been some electronic navigation aids,such as electronic navigation helmets,and electronic guide dogs,they cannot engage in conversations with people or fully understand human instructions," said Sun Zhe,an associate professor at the university.."They can only carry out tasks aecoding to fixed programs. They are just cold machines.That's not enough.The research makes it possible to provide better guidance services for people with visual problems,especially for emotional companionship,"Sun explained. "People with visual problems face many challenges in daily life,including navigation difficulties and safety threats."Sun said."Smart guide dogs using the language model can offer them more convenient and safe navigation,effectively improving their quality of life."Tests in Xi'an showed the AI guide dog achieved 98.7% success in avoiding obstacles (and detecting people on streets. Training a traditional guide dog can cost as much as 200,000 yuan and there are fewer than 200 guide dogs in China.Therefore,the research team began developing the smart guide dog based on the AI model,which is much more affordable for people with visual problems.Its findings have been published in the Communications of the Chinese Computer Society.The commercial version (is expected to cost around 30,000 yuan,making it accessible to middle-income families. "The current results prove the possibility of this approach,but there is still some way to go before it can be put into practical application."Sun said."We will put more effort into it and make it available for those in need as soon as possible."Future plans include integrating 5G connectivity for remote assistance and improving the system's ability to recognize traffic signals and public transportation signs. 37.What can the.AI guide dog do? A.Send out instructions. B.Improve the Al technology. C.Navigate without Internet. D.Copy human conversations. 38.Why did Sun Zhe's team start the research? A.To explain AI guide dogs'work.

A.AI Guide Dogs Will Reduce the Cost. B.AI Guide Dogs May Offer Visual Help. C.AI Guide Dogs Will Replace Traditional Dogs. D.AI Guide Dogs May Navigate Indoor Spaces. D People experience a flow state when they become deeply focused on an activity that is challenging but not outside of their skill set.Getting into a flow state helps people leam and further develop their skills while also increasing their enjoyment of those skills. In the 1960s,psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi noticed that many artists fell into this single-minded state while doing their creative work.His research on the topic showed that people can experience flow during different situations,including games like chess,sports like surfing or rock climbing,professional activities like performing surgery,or creative activities like writing or painting.Time seems to pass more quickly than usual when people are in this state.He used the term"flow state"to describe this experience because many of the people he interviewed about it said the experience was like being"in flow". The state of flow can be brought about by any experience,whether work or play,he explained.It is the full participation (of flow,rather than happiness,that makes for excellence in life.Flow is also valuable for learning and developing skills.He noted the value of increasing challenges so they are just a little outside one's skill set.This encourages the person to stay in the flow state while also helping-them to learn new skills Many people are interested in achieving flow because it can help improve performance and increase happiness.This can be different for different people.While one person may enter a flow state while gardening, another may do so while drawing or running a marathon.The key is to find an activity that the person is passionate(热情的)about and finds it enjoyable. In addition,the activity must be challenging enough to need people to raise their skill level just beyond their 6 abilities.Finally,the balance between skill level and challenge must be optimal to achieve flow.If the challenge is too high.it can lead to anxietv:if the challenge is too low,it can lead to boredom.High challenges and high skills will result in deep involvement(in the activity and create the desired flow state. Today it can be hard to ensure one's environment is good for flow.If the noise keeps appearing,it won't lead to a flow state.You should tum off mobile phones if you want to achieve flow. (40.What can we learn from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's research? A.People feel bored when they are in the state of flow. B.Flow state can prevent people from achieving their goals. C.Time seems to pass more slowly when people experience flow. D.People may experience flow when they deeply keep their minds on something. 41.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A.The history of the research. B.The benefits of a flow state. C.The challenges of a flow state. D.The difficulties of learning new skills. 42.The word "optimal"in Paragraph 5 means A.typical B.serious C.proper D.similar 43.The writer thinks A.anxiety can help people get into a flow state B.people feel bored when the challenge is too hign C.people get into a flow state in all kinds of environment i D.both high challenges and skills are necessary for a flow state 第四部分书面表达（共31分） 七、阅读表达（共10分，第4446题每小题2分，第47题4分) Lu Yuan,a college student,did a quick tour around the city of Chengdu during the weekend.
