习题讲评(一)　主题阅读训练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·滨州模拟)A humanoid robot can predict whether someone will smile a second before they do, and match the smile on its own face. The creators hope the technology could make interactions with robots more lifelike. Although artificial intelligence can now mimic human language to an impressive degree, interactions with physical robots often fall into the “uncanny valley”， in part because robots can't copy the complex non-verbal cues and mannerisms that are vital for communication. Now, Hod Lipson at Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have created a robot called Emo that uses AI models and high-resolution cameras to predict people's facial expressions and try to copy them. It can anticipate whether someone will smile about 0.9 seconds before they do, and smile itself in sync. “I'm fed up with robots because I deal with them every day, but I smile back at this robot，” says Lipson. Emo consists of a face with cameras in its eyeballs and flexible plastic skin that has 23 separate motors attached to it by magnets. The robot uses two neural networks: one to look at human faces and predict their expressions and the other to work out how to produce expressions on its own face. The first network was trained on the social platform videos of people making faces, while the second network was trained by having the robot watch itself make faces on a live camera feed. “It learns what its face is going to look like when it's going to pull all these muscles，” says Lipson. “It's sort of like a person in front of a mirror, when even if you close your eyes and smile, you know what your face is going to look like.” Lipson and his team hope that Emo's technology will improve human-robot interactions, but they first need to broaden the range of expressions the robot can make. They also hope to train it to make expressions in response to what people are saying, rather than simply mimicking another person, says Lipson. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以预测人们微笑并对人们报以微笑的机器人。 1．What's special about Emo?

Scientists are now developing an AI system that can copy various forms of laughter accurately. The team behind the laughing robot, Erica, say that the system could improve natural conversations between people and AI systems. Dr. Koji Inoue, lead author of the research from Kyoto University, highlights empathy (共情) as a crucial aspect of conversational AI, suggesting laughter sharing as a means for robots to connect with users. To achieve this, Inoue and his team gathered data from over 80 speed-dating dialogues between male students and Erica, initially operated by amateur actors. Dialogue data labeled for individual, social, and joyful laughter was used to train an AI system to identify and produce fitting laughter responses. Based on the audio files, the algorithm (算法) learned their subtle differences, aiming to imitate social laughs subtly and hearty laughs empathetically. “Our biggest challenge in this work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter，” explained Inoue, emphasizing the need for careful categorization. Erica's “sense of humor” was tested with four dialogues, integrating the new shared-laughter algorithm. These were compared to cases where Erica didn't laugh or emitted social laughs upon detecting laughter. The clips were played to 130 volunteers who rated the shared-laughter algorithm highly for empathy and naturalness. The team believed laughter could imbue robots with unique character traits, including conversational behaviors like laughter, eye gaze, gestures, and speaking style. However, Inoue acknowledged it could take over 20 years to have a “casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.” Professor Sandra Wachter, of the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, said, “One of the things I'd keep in mind is that a robot or algorithm will never be able to understand you. It doesn't understand the meaning of laughter. They fail to feel, but they might get very good at making you believe they understand what's going on.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家正在研究的一款可以笑的机器人。 5．Why do scientists develop the AI system that can copy various forms of laughter? A．To make robots sound more human-like. B．To help robots understand human emotions better. C．To enable robots to have a sense of humor like humans. D．To enhance the emotional interaction between people and AI systems. 解析：选D　推理判断题。由第一段中的“The team behind the laughing robot, Erica, say that the system could improve natural conversations between people and AI systems.”可知，科学家开发一种可以复制各种笑声的人工智能系统，是为了增强人与人工智能系统之间的情感互动。 6．What was the challenge Inoue faced while working on this project? A．Creating an algorithm that can genuinely feel amusement. B．Identifying the situations where laughter is truly understood. C．Distinguishing between different types of laughter accurately. D．Collecting sufficient data for training the machine learning system. 解析：选B　推理判断题。由第四段可知，Inoue在这个项目中面临的挑战是确定在一些情景中笑声是否能真正被理解。 7．What does the underlined word “imbue” mean in paragraph 5? A．Equip.　　　 B．Inspire. C．Engage. D．Influence. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。由本段“The clips were played to 130 volunteers ...imbue robots with unique character traits, including conversational behaviors like laughter, eye gaze, gestures, and speaking style.”可推测，这里表示笑声可以赋予机器人独特的性格特征，所以imbue意为“使……具备”。 8．What is Professor Sandra Wachter's view on laughing robots? A．They are not capable of capturing human laughter. B．They can imitate laughter but lack thorough comprehension. C．It is possible for them to play tricks on humans occasionally. D．It will take long before humans have comfortable conversations with them. 解析：选B　推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“One of the things ...what's going on.”可知，Sandra Wachter认为会笑的机器人可以模仿笑声，但缺乏全面的理解能力。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2025·泰安模拟)Have you ever considered what it would be like to be unable to smile? I hadn't, up until a few months ago, when I found that I actually couldn't. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy-A relatively unknown condition that paralyses one half of the face. This was quite a shock and depressed me enormously. 9 ， the story is not about how tough life is, but how awesome it is when life challenges you in different ways. Anyway, smiling is a part of everyday life for me. It is my way of greeting people, of laughing, silent communication and consolidation. 10 . Is it the lifting of the sides of a person's mouth, the twinkling of the eye, or is it something beyond ...or should I say behind the physical smile? 11 ， I came up with the conclusion that a genuine smile is not merely characterized by the upturning of the corners of the mouth, but by the actions, words, and thoughts of the smiler. This equipped me with hope and confidence. The reason was that I was aware smiling is not just an outward expression, but an inward lifestyle. With this in mind, I set to learning how to smile through my actions. There are a few things I had to change, but it is thanks to this challenge I have grown into who I am today. 12 . I would really encourage you to smile more often and not just with your face! 13 . For instance, Smile Cards with a chocolate bar/bookmark/bible verse/voucher! Slip it into someone's hand/school bag and let them experience the true smile. A．After thinking about this for a while B．Smiling contributes to a person's life quality C．If I had really grasped the meaning of a smile D．While this was a major bomb dropped on my life E．A smile can be anything making you or someone else joyful F．“Losing” half my face motivated me to rethink what a smile is G．I have become more confident, defeating the depressed un-smilers 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因患贝尔氏麻痹症而无法微笑，进而重新思考微笑的真正含义。 9．选D　根据下文“the story is not about how tough life is, but how awesome it is when life challenges you in different ways”可知，空处需要一个转折句来连接前后文，表明虽然这个病给作者带来了打击，但她从中得到了成长。选项D“While this was a major bomb dropped on my life”符合语境。 10．选F　上文描述了微笑在作者日常生活中的重要性，下文中作者开始思考微笑的真正含义。选项F“‘Losing’ half my face motivated me to rethink what a smile is” 承接上文，并引出了下文对微笑定义的探讨。 11．选A　根据下文可知，空后得出结论，这表明作者在此之前进行了一段时间的思考。选项A“After thinking about this for a while”可作为过渡句，连接作者的思考和结论，符合语境。 12．选G　上文描述了作者通过行动学习如何微笑，这里需要一个总结性的句子来概括作者的变化和成长。选项G“I have become more confident, defeating the depressed un-smilers”既总结了作者的变化，也呼应了前文提到的“I have grown into who I am today”，符合语境。 13．选E　下文提到了一些具体的行动建议，这表明空处需要一个引出具体行动建议的句子。选项E“A smile can be anything making you or someone else joyful”符合语境。 习题讲评(二)　语用综合训练 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 完形填空 (2025·酒泉模拟)33 years ago, Thomas retired from his job, but he simply couldn't sit at home doing nothing.
