Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions (同伴) than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to tell when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more properly to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding (提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products’ location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
15. How are social robots different from household robots?
A. They have their feelings. B. They are more like humans.
C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly.
16. What can Oshbot work as?
A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A private nurse. D. A shop assistant.
17. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will .
A. train employees B. improve technologies
C. be our workmates D. take the place of workers
18. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. An introduction to social robots. B. Marketing methods for social robots.
C. Information on household robots. D. A new design idea of household robots.

Deep Sea: To Mine Or Not To Mine
A robot as large as a truck moves along the bottom of the deep sea. It eats metallic (含金属的) rock and soft mud. They travel up a long pipe to a ship, where workers and machinery separate out the rock and throw the mud back into the ocean. This is a mining operation. The rock contains a mixture of metals, including ones called rare earth metals. People use these materials to make batteries and electronics like computers and phones.
Deep-sea mining hasn’t happened yet. But it probably will occur within the next decade. No country owns any part of the deep sea, so a UN organization called the International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides who is allowed to mine there. It has allowed 29 organizations to explore the deep sea and make plans for mining, one of which plans to begin mining in the year 2027.
Scientists and environmentalists, though, warn that mining could destroy deep-sea ecosystem. In 1989, ecologist Hjalmar Thiel carried out a test. His team searched the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, in a spot with lots of the metallic rocks that miners wanted. They didn’t actually collect any of the rocks. But they disturbed the mud, just as a mining operation would. The cloud of mud fell back down over the ocean floor burying creatures living there. Up to now, the area they disturbed has not recovered. Signs of the search are still there. Deep sea creatures like sponges and corals have not moved back in. That means mining could have detrimental, long-lasting consequences for deep ocean life. Scientists want to understand the deep sea better before disturbing it.
Leaving the deep sea alone sounds great, but people need those metals. “Mines on land are soon going to run out,” geologist Steven Scolt of the University of Toronto told Smithsonian Magazine. “Every electronic device in the world has rare earth metals in it... we need raw resources.” New energy technologies including solar and wind power and electric cars rely on these metals as well. We may need to mine them from the sea in order to switch to greener energy sources.
19. According to the passage, why do people want to carry out deep sea mining?
A. To test the mining robot. B. To collect rare earth metals.
C. To separate the rock from mud. D. To understand the deep sea better.
20. What can we infer from the test of Hjalmar Thiel in 1989?
A. They gathered some metallic rocks the miners wanted.
B. They helped the recovery of the disturbed mining areas.
C. They discovered the deep-sea mining had affected the ocean ecology.
D. They found the rare metallic rocks were harmful to sea creatures.
21. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Appealing. B. Harmful. C. Helpful. D. Impressive.
22. What is Steven Scolt’s attitude towards deep-sea mining?
A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
D
Climate change influences how organisms live and function in their environment. Investigating how organisms adapt is essential for accurately predicting their survival, and tracking genomic(基因组的) changes helps researchers determine the lasting effects of the changing environment. Copepods, a dominant coastal species, are particularly useful for studying genetic changes in response to shifting marine environments. By studying copepods, researchers can get an idea of how the ocean food chain might react to changes in the Earth’s climate.
Tracking a copepod’s evolving genome in the wild, however, can be time-consuming and laborious. To circumvent this challenge, Pespeni and her team used an evolve-and-resequence approach in the lab. They exposed a copepod population to three stressors—water warming, acidification via high CO₂ levels, and combinations of the two ocean warming and acidification (OWA) conditions in the laboratory, and tracked their adaptations to these conditions over 25generations. Previously, they tracked reproductive fitness traits such as egg-hatching success under these conditions. They found that the fitness of the population exposed to OWA conditions initially decreased, but then adapted to the stressors over several generations.
In the current study, the researchers sequenced the genomes of animals in each experimental group at generation 0 and 25 to quantify how allele (等位基因) frequencies changed in response to experimental selective pressures. The researchers found adaptive alleles related to development were unique to the multiple stressor experiment, providing a possible explanation for the observed selection of hatching success.
“We showed that the warming alone was a much strong er selective pressure than CO₂. But when you combine them, you get a unique synergy. So, it’s not just one plus one equals two; it’s one plus one equals something totally different,” said Pespeni. Whereas previous studies observed the effects of single stressors on evolving organisms, Pespeni’s study demonstrated that multiple stressors result in a unique response to selection in a non-additive manner. This is important because human-induced environmental changes are multifaceted(多方面的), and additional stressors are still needed to further mimic natural environmental changes, and this study reveals the complexity of the genomic adaptive response.
According to Morgan Kelly, a professor who was not involved in the study, the insights presented by the researchers in this study call into question the previous single stressor studies and will influence future experimental design. “There’s this big question of the role that evolutionary change will play in response to climate change, and the way the researchers integrate genomic information is the best of its kind in the world of marine experimental evolution,” said Kelly.
According to Pespeni, there is reason to maintain hope in the face of climate change because her work revealed that the copepods eventually fully regained their ability to reproduce following the combined environmental changes.
23. What can we learn about Pespeni’s previous and current studies?
A. The previous study tried new ways to quantify the response of copepods.
B. The current study may explain the success of hatching in the previous one.
C. The previous study reveals the complexity of the genomic adaptive response.
D. The current study sequenced copepods’ genes of 25 generations in each group.
24. To improve their future research, researchers should .
A. study how other species adapt to global warming
B. include additional stressors in their experiments
C. track a copepod’s evolving genome in the wild
D. compare Pespeni’s study with previous ones
25. What makes the current study particularly significant?
A. It integrates genomic information in the research.
B. It shows most species can easily adapt to climate changes.
C. It confirms the effectiveness of previous single stressor studies.
D. It demonstrates multiple stressors produce an additive response.
26. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Scientists Edit Genomes to Help Copepods Survive
B. Research Removes People’s Worries about Climate Change
C. Combining Climate Stressors Leads to Unique Genomic Changes
D. The Evolve-and-resequence Approach Helps Fight Climate Change

On March 14, 2018, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world, according to CNN.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic attitude.
When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically (心理上) disabled as well,” he once said.
Hawking traveled the globe to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica. He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.
He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon; when he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity (零重力) flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day.
In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said.
27. What happened to Hawking when he was 21?
________________________________________________________________________
28. Why is Hawking regarded as the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein?
________________________________________________________________________
29. How did Hawking communicate with others later in life?
________________________________________________________________________
30. What did Hawking think of his life?
_________________________________________________________________________
31. What impressed you most about Hawking after you read the passage? Why?

四、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容在表格的横线上填词,每空填写一个单词。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Your life is composed of all the little things we experience every day, and knowing how to find joy in some of those little things is one of the easiest ways to let happiness slowly fill your cup. In order for that to happen, you need to do two very simple things: put yourself in such situations that you can experience happiness there, and then find a way to taste the experience and let it sink into you.
To put yourself in the position of experiencing happiness every day Lahna Catalino, Ph. D., at the University of California, San Francisco, recommends an approach called “prioritizing positivity” — organizing your day-to-day life on purpose so that it contains situations which naturally give rise to positive emotions. It involves both sparing time in your daily routine to do things that you really love and heavily weighing the positive emotional consequences of major life decisions, like taking a new job, and you will regularly find yourself.
Then how can we find a way to taste the happy experience and let it sink into you? Here is what psychologist Rick Hanson, the author of Buddha's Brain explains.
Let a good fact become a good experience.
Often we go through life and some good thing happens — a little thing, like we checked off an item on our To Do list, we survived another day at work, the flowers are blooming, and so forth. Hey, this is an opportunity to feel good. Don’t leave money lying on the table: Recognize that this is an opportunity to let yourself truly feel good.
Really enjoy this positive experience.
Practice what any school teacher knows: If you want to help people learn something, make it as intense as possible — in this case, as felt in the body as possible — for as long as possible.
When sinking into this experience sense your intention that this experience is sinking into you.
Sometimes people do this through visualization, like by sensing a golden light coming into themselves or a soothing balm inside themselves. You might imagine a jewel going into the treasure chest in your heart—or just know that this experience is sinking into you, becoming a resource you can take with you no matter where you go.
It might seem a little cliché (陈词滥调) to say “stop and smell the roses,” but it’s moments like those that can be stored in your memory and brought back later to make you happy. Living a happy life can be as simple as accepting the happiness that’s already around you. If you want more, it’s ok to go out and achieve it, but don’t forget where happiness really comes from.
Let ____32____ Come Naturally With the “Little Things”
____33____ to let happiness come your way
●Put yourself in ____34____ where you experience happiness.
●Find a way to taste the experience and let it sink into you.
Giving ____35____ to positive things
●Organize your everyday life ____36____ to experience positive emotions.
●____37____ your time to do things you love as well as heavily weighing the positive emotional consequences.
____38____ the experience and letting it sink into you

●Really enjoy the positive experience as long as possible.
●When sinking into this experience be ____40____ of your intention so that it becomes a resource to take with you wherever you go.
Summary
●Happy moments like “stop and smell the roses” are _____41_____
●Living a happy life can be as simple as accepting the happiness already around you.

While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions (同伴) than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to tell when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more properly to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding (提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products’ location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
15. How are social robots different from household robots?
A. They have their feelings. B. They are more like humans.
C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly.
16. What can Oshbot work as?
A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A private nurse. D. A shop assistant.
17. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will .
A. train employees B. improve technologies
C. be our workmates D. take the place of workers
18. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. An introduction to social robots. B. Marketing methods for social robots.
C Information on household robots. D. A new design idea of household robots.

Deep Sea: To Mine Or Not To Mine
A robot as large as a truck moves along the bottom of the deep sea. It eats metallic (含金属的) rock and soft mud. They travel up a long pipe to a ship, where workers and machinery separate out the rock and throw the mud back into the ocean. This is a mining operation. The rock contains a mixture of metals, including ones called rare earth metals. People use these materials to make batteries and electronics like computers and phones.
Deep-sea mining hasn’t happened yet. But it probably will occur within the next decade. No country owns any part of the deep sea, so a UN organization called the International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides who is allowed to mine there. It has allowed 29 organizations to explore the deep sea and make plans for mining, one of which plans to begin mining in the year 2027.
Scientists and environmentalists, though, warn that mining could destroy deep-sea ecosystem. In 1989, ecologist Hjalmar Thiel carried out a test. His team searched the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, in a spot with lots of the metallic rocks that miners wanted. They didn’t actually collect any of the rocks. But they disturbed the mud, just as a mining operation would. The cloud of mud fell back down over the ocean floor burying creatures living there. Up to now, the area they disturbed has not recovered. Signs of the search are still there. Deep sea creatures like sponges and corals have not moved back in. That means mining could have detrimental, long-lasting consequences for deep ocean life. Scientists want to understand the deep sea better before disturbing it.
Leaving the deep sea alone sounds great but people need those metals. “Mines on land are soon going to run out,” geologist Steven Scolt of the University of Toronto told Smithsonian Magazine. “Every electronic device in the world has rare earth metals in it... we need raw resources.” New energy technologies including solar and wind power and electric cars rely on these metals as well. We may need to mine them from the sea in order to switch to greener energy sources.
19. According to the passage, why do people want to carry out deep sea mining?
A. To test the mining robot. B. To collect rare earth metals.
C. To separate the rock from mud. D. To understand the deep sea better.
20. What can we infer from the test of Hjalmar Thiel in 1989?
A. They gathered some metallic rocks the miners wanted.
B. They helped the recovery of the disturbed mining areas.
C. They discovered the deep-sea mining had affected the ocean ecology.
D. They found the rare metallic rocks were harmful to sea creatures.
21. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Appealing. B. Harmful. C. Helpful. D. Impressive.
22. What is Steven Scolt’s attitude towards deep-sea mining?
A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.

Climate change influences how organisms live and function in their environment. Investigating how organisms adapt is essential for accurately predicting their survival, and tracking genomic(基因组的) changes helps researchers determine the lasting effects of the changing environment. Copepods, a dominant coastal species, are particularly useful for studying genetic changes in response to shifting marine environments. By studying copepods, researchers can get an idea of how the ocean food chain might react to changes in the Earth’s climate.
Tracking a copepod’s evolving genome in the wild, however, can be time-consuming and laborious. To circumvent this challenge, Pespeni and her team used an evolve-and-resequence approach in the lab. They exposed a copepod population to three stressors—water warming, acidification via high CO₂ levels, and combinations of the two ocean warming and acidification (OWA) conditions in the laboratory, and tracked their adaptations to these conditions over 25generations. Previously, they tracked reproductive fitness traits such as egg-hatching success under these conditions. They found that the fitness of the population exposed to OWA conditions initially decreased, but then adapted to the stressors over several generations.
In the current study, the researchers sequenced the genomes of animals in each experimental group at generation 0 and 25 to quantify how allele (等位基因) frequencies changed in response to experimental selective pressures. The researchers found adaptive alleles related to development were unique to the multiple stressor experiment, providing a possible explanation for the observed selection of hatching success.
“We showed that the warming alone was a much strong er selective pressure than CO₂. But when you combine them, you get a unique synergy. So, it’s not just one plus one equals two; it’s one plus one equals something totally different,” said Pespeni. Whereas previous studies observed the effects of single stressors on evolving organisms, Pespeni’s study demonstrated that multiple stressors result in a unique response to selection in a non-additive manner. This is important because human-induced environmental changes are multifaceted(多方面的), and additional stressors are still needed to further mimic natural environmental changes, and this study reveals the complexity of the genomic adaptive response.
According to Morgan Kelly, a professor who was not involved in the study, the insights presented by the researchers in this study call into question the previous single stressor studies and will influence future experimental design. “There’s this big question of the role that evolutionary change will play in response to climate change, and the way the researchers integrate genomic information is the best of its kind in the world of marine experimental evolution,” said Kelly.
According to Pespeni, there is reason to maintain hope in the face of climate change because her work revealed that the copepods eventually fully regained their ability to reproduce following the combined environmental changes.
23. What can we learn about Pespeni’s previous and current studies?
A. The previous study tried new ways to quantify the response of copepods.
B. The current study may explain the success of hatching in the previous one.
C. The previous study reveals the complexity of the genomic adaptive response.
D. The current study sequenced copepods’ genes of 25 generations in each group.
24. To improve their future research, researchers should .
A. study how other species adapt to global warming
B. include additional stressors in their experiments
C. track a copepod’s evolving genome in the wild
D. compare Pespeni’s study with previous ones
25. What makes the current study particularly significant?
A. It integrates genomic information in the research.
B. It shows most species can easily adapt to climate changes.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
On March 14, 2018, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world, according to CNN.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic attitude.
When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically (心理上) disabled as well,” he once said.
Hawking traveled the globe to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica. He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.
He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon; when he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity (零重力) flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day.
In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said.
27. What happened to Hawking when he was 21?
________________________________________________________________________
28. Why is Hawking regarded as the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein?

四、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容在表格的横线上填词,每空填写一个单词。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Your life is composed of all the little things we experience every day, and knowing how to find joy in some of those little things is one of the easiest ways to let happiness slowly fill your cup. In order for that to happen, you need to do two very simple things: put yourself in such situations that you can experience happiness there, and then find a way to taste the experience and let it sink into you.
To put yourself in the position of experiencing happiness every day, Lahna Catalino, Ph. D., at the University of California, San Francisco, recommends an approach called “prioritizing positivity” — organizing your day-to-day life on purpose so that it contains situations which naturally give rise to positive emotions. It involves both sparing time in your daily routine to do things that you really love and heavily weighing the positive emotional consequences of major life decisions, like taking a new job, and you will regularly find yourself.
Then how can we find a way to taste the happy experience and let it sink into you? Here is what psychologist Rick Hanson, the author of Buddha's Brain explains.
Let a good fact become a good experience.
Often we go through life and some good thing happens — a little thing, like we checked off an item on our To Do list, we survived another day at work, the flowers are blooming, and so forth. Hey, this is an opportunity to feel good. Don’t leave money lying on the table: Recognize that this is an opportunity to let yourself truly feel good.
Really enjoy this positive experience.
Practice what any school teacher knows: If you want to help people learn something, make it as intense as possible — in this case, as felt in the body as possible — for as long as possible.
When sinking into this experience, sense your intention that this experience is sinking into you.
Sometimes people do this through visualization, like by sensing a golden light coming into themselves or a soothing balm inside themselves. You might imagine a jewel going into the treasure chest in your heart—or just know that this experience is sinking into you, becoming a resource you can take with you no matter where you go.
It might seem a little cliché (陈词滥调) to say “stop and smell the roses,” but it’s moments like those that can be stored in your memory and brought back later to make you happy. Living a happy life can be as simple as accepting the happiness that’s already around you. If you want more, it’s ok to go out and achieve it, but don’t forget where happiness really comes from.
Let ____32____ Come Naturally With the “Little Things”

【答案】Sample 1
Dear Jim,
Glad to hear from you! The person I admire profoundly is Tu Youyou. As the first Chinese female scientist awarded the Nobel Prize, she earned global recognition for discovering artemisinin, the most effective cure for malaria.
I admire her for her dedication and courage. In 1969, she led a team to fight malaria. Despite poor lab conditions and a lack of resources, she studied ancient medical literature and tested numerous chemicals. When the team wanted to know whether the chemical was safe for humans, Tu Youyou bravely volunteered to be the first human subject. Thanks to her persistence and determination, they finally discovered artemisinin, which has saved millions of people’s lives.
Tu Youyou’s influence on me is profound. Whenever I face challenges, I’m inspired to approach difficulties with her spirit .
Yours,
Li Hua
Sample 2
Dear Jim,
Glad to hear from you! The person I admire most is my mother. As a middle school teacher, she devotes herself to educating students, preparing lessons carefully and guiding them patiently. Beyond work, she manages household affairs skillfully, creating a warm home for our family.
I respect her for two main reasons. First, her strong sense of responsibility shines in both career and family—she never compromises on quality, whether solving students’ academic problems or cooking delicious meals for us. Second, her kindness touches everyone around. She often volunteers to help elderly neighbors, setting a vivid example of caring for others.
Thanks to my mother, I’ve learned to approach my studies with responsibility, just as she does her work. More importantly, her generosity inspires me to spread warmth—now I actively participate in volunteer activities, hoping to bring positive changes to others, just like her.
Yours,
Li Hua
