Adam Sandler,born in Brooklyn,New York,is an American comedian,actor,musician and film producer.When he was six,his family moved to Manchester,New Hampshire,where he attended Manchester Central High School.There he first performed at a stand-up comedy club at age 17.Following high school,Sandler found he was a natural comic and developed his talent while at New York University by performing regularly in clubs and on campus.
Later in his career,he would often draw on his earliest memories for material for his comedy and movies.In the movie Click,Sandler goes to Lake Winnipesaukee,the largest lake in New Hampshire,where he went to a summer camp.
Early in his career,Sandler performed in comedy clubs,taking the stage at his brother's encouragement when he was only 17.He was discovered by comedian Dennis Miller,who caught Sandler's act in Los Angeles.Miller introduced him to Saturday Night Live(SNL)producer Lorne Michaels.Sandler was employed as a scriptwriter for SNL in 1990 and became a player the following year,making a name by performing amusing original songs on the show.He left the show in 1995 to focus on his film career.
Sandler's first starring role was in 1989,in the film Going Overboard.Although his earlier films did not receive praise,his more recent films,beginning with Punch-Drunk Love(2002),have received almost universally positive reviews.Audiences have remained faithful to Sandler's humor.Sandler starred in Bedtime Stories (2008),a film directed by Bringing Down the House director Adam Shankman,about a man whose bedtime stories he reads to his niece and nephew begin to come true,which marked Sandler's first family film.
On June 22,2003,Sandler married actress Jacqueline Samantha Titone and they are the parents of two daughters.At present,Sandler lives with his family in Los Angeles,though he also has a home in Florida.

(2024·浙江杭州重点中学期中)It seems no one can really agree on the question of “What's so funny?” So imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh.But that's exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to do: design AI that takes its cues through a shared-laughter system.The scientists describe their innovative approach to building the funny bone for the Japanese android “Erica” in the latest issue of the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI.
“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy(共鸣),” explained lead author Dr Koji Inoue,an assistant professor at Kyoto University in the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology within the Graduate School of Informatics.“One way a robot can empathize with users is to share their laughter.”
In the shared-laughter model,a human initially laughs and the AI system responds with laughter as an empathetic response.This approach required designing three subsystems—one to detect laughter,a second to decide whether to laugh,and a third to choose the type of appropriate laughter.The type of laughter is also important,because in some cases a polite chuckle may be more appropriate than a loud snort of laughter.
The team tested Erica's new sense of humor by creating four different short dialogues between a person and Erica with her new shared-laughter system.Then they asked more than 130 people in total to listen to each dialogue within the three different conditions—the shared-laughter system,no laughter,all laughter—and evaluate the interactions based on human-likeness,naturalness and understanding.The shared-laughter system performed better than either baseline.
“Robots should actually have distinct personalities,and we think that they can show this through their conversational behaviors,such as laughing,eye gazes,gestures and speaking style,” Inoue added.“We do not think this is an easy problem at all,and it may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍日本京都大学的研究人员设计了一种共享笑声的人工智能系统,可以对人类的笑声做出适当的反应,以便在对话中建立共鸣。
5.What's the purpose of raising the question “What's so funny” at the beginning?
A.To show opinions on funny things.
B.To encourage readers to share their ideas.
C.To stress the difficulty of teaching a robot to laugh.
D.To emphasize the importance of being funny.
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It seems no one can really agree on the question of ‘What's so funny?’ So imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh.But that's exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to do: design AI that takes its cues through a shared-laughter system.”可推断,一开始就提出“什么事这么好笑”这个问题的目的是强调教机器人笑的难度。
答案 C
6.Which of the following explains the underlined phrase “the funny bone” in paragraph 1?
A.The sense of humor.
B.The shared-laughter system.
C.The speaking style.
D.The distinct personality.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线短语前文“So imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh.But that's exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to design AI that takes its cues through a shared-laughter system.”可知,日本科学家用创新方法为日本机器人“埃丽卡”制造幽默感。所以the funny bone意为“幽默感”。
答案 A
7.What is NOT needed in the research of the shared-laughter system?
A.Designing the subsystem to decide whether to laugh.
B.Assessing the interactions based on emotions.
C.Creating brief conversations between a human and Erica.
D.Asking people to listen to the previously created dialogues.
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This approach required designing...may be more appropriate than a loud snort of laughter.” 可知,这种方法需要设计三个子系统——一个检测笑声,第二个决定是否要笑,第三个选择合适的笑声类型。再结合第四段中“The team tested Erica's new sense of humor...based on human-likeness,naturalness and understanding.”可知,听每段对话,并根据与人的相似度、自然度和理解力来评估这些互动。因此,共享笑声系统的研究不需要基于情绪评估互动。
答案 B
8.What is Inoue's attitude towards conversational AI?
A.Indifferent. B.Suspicious.
C.Optimistic. D.Objective.
解析 观点态度题。根据最后一段“‘Robots should actually have distinct personalities,and we think that they can show this through their conversational behaviors,such as laughing,eye gazes,gestures and speaking style,’Inoue added.‘We do not think this is an easy problem at all,and it may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.’”可推断出,Inoue对对话AI的态度是客观的。
答案 D
