Designed to look and act like a human, Sophia has a lifelike face, smooth skin, and expressive eyes that can show emotions such as joy, sadness, or curiosity. She can hold conversations, answer questions, and even tell jokes using advanced artificial intelligence (AI). One of Sophia’s key features ( 特点) is her ability to recognize ( 辨别) faces. Her eyes have cameras that help her “see” people and remember their appearances. For example, if you meet her twice, she might say, “Nice to see you again!” This skill allows her to interact naturally with humans. Sophia’s creators want her to help people in different fields. She has worked in hospitals to support doctors by guiding patients, appeared in TV shows, and even made a speech at the United Nations about the role of robots in society. Sophia’s AI system learns from experience. Although she sometimes makes mistakes, her knowledge grows over time. In 2017, Saudi Arabia made history by giving her citizenship, making her the first robot to receive such a status. This event caused global discussions about the future of robots and humans. Some people worry that robots like Sophia might take over human jobs. However, Hanson Robotics explains that their goal is to create robots that work with humans, not replace them. For example, robots can do repetitive tasks in factories and companies, while humans focus on creative work. Sophia’s team also believes robots could help in education, teaching students languages or science in fun ways. Today, Sophia continues to improve. She can now speak over 20 languages and even create art! While she is still learning, her existence shows how quickly digital evolution ( 数字进化) is advancing. Scientists predict that in the future, robots like Sophia might become common helpers in homes, schools, and offices. Sophia reminds us that robots are not just machines—they could be our partners in building a better world. 1. ( )What is one of Sophia’s key abilities mentioned in the article? A. Cooking delicious meals for humans. B. Flying high above cities to take photos. C. Recognizing faces with cameras in her eyes. D. Predicting weather changes by studying clouds. 2. ( )What does the word “interact” mean in Paragraph 2? A. To fight with someone. B. To communicate or work together. C. To have an interview with someone. D. To compete against someone. 3. ( )What is Hanson Robotics’ main purpose for creating Sophia? A. To replace all human workers in factories and companies. B. To let robots do simple tasks so that humans can work on creative jobs. C. To sell human-like robots to TV shows for fun performances. D. To prove that robots are smarter and better than humans. 4. ( )Which can be the best title for the passage? A. How to Build a Robot at Home B. Why Robots Are Dangerous C. The History of Hanson Robotics D. Sophia: A Robot Partner for the Future 二、 阅读表达。 On April 19, the world’s first half-marathon for humanoid ( 类人的) robots was held in Beijing. The robots waited beside human runners, starting from the same line. “I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race. During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators ( 操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run. There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the end. Tiangong Ultra won the first in two hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot center. “In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We made history together.” “Robots’ completing the race isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point for the growth of the robot industry,” said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee. Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, “Their small steps today will become giant leaps for human technological progress tomorrow.” 根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5 个单词。 1.

They are named “Wangyu” (meaning “gazing at the universe”) and “Tansuo” (meaning “exploration”). The name “Wangyu” means “gazing at the universe and exploring the unknown”. It shows the Chinese astronauts’ mission to look into space and start new journeys on the moon. This name is connected to the “Feitian” spacesuit used for space station missions. It shows China’s plan to move from working in space to landing on the moon. The name also shows China’s peaceful use of space and its efforts to build a community with a shared future for humanity. The lunar rover is named “Tansuo,” which means “exploration”. This name shows the rover’s job to help Chinese people explore the mysteries of the moon. The rover can be folded and is made of different parts. It can carry two astronauts and move quickly over rough ground. It can also help with navigation, safety, communication, and carrying things. It will help astronauts do scientific research and tests on the moon. The names were chosen from more than 9,000 entries in a public competition. They are full of Chinese culture and modern spirit. From “Chang’e” and “Yutu” to “Tianwen” and “Zhurong,” and now “Wangyu” and “Tansuo”, the names of China’s spacecrafts always connect traditional culture with modern technology. They show China’s spirit of exploration and innovation. Right now, the “Wangyu” spacesuit and the “Tansuo” lunar rover are in the early stages of development. China plans to send people to the moon before 2030. The mission will test key technologies like traveling between the Earth and the moon, staying on the moon for a short time, and working together with robots. The astronauts will do many tasks like landing, exploring, collecting samples, researching, and bringing things back to the Earth. The names “Wangyu” and “Tansuo” mark a new step in China’s space exploration. They are not only the results of China’s space technology but also symbols of the Chinese people’s spirit of exploring the universe. 1. ( )What does the name “Wangyu” symbolize? A. The lunar rover’s ability to move quickly on the moon. B. The astronauts’ mission to explore space and the moon. C. The connection between traditional culture and modern technology. D. The competition to name the spacesuit and lunar rover. 2. ( )What does the article suggest about China’s space exploration? A. It focuses only on space station missions. B. It aims to compete with other countries for space dominance. C. It combines traditional culture with modern technology. D. It has no plans for manned lunar missions. 3. ( )What can we know about the names “Wangyu” and “Tansuo”? A. They were chosen by a small group of scientists. B. They are unrelated to Chinese culture. C. They were named after ancient Chinese emperors. D. They reflect China’s peaceful use of space and spirit of exploration. 4. ( )What is the main purpose of the article? A. To explain how spacesuits and lunar rovers are made. B. To describe the history of China’s space exploration. C. To compare Chinese spacecraft with those of other countries. D.

Keeping a healthy weight is a challenge while in space. D. Blood can build up in the head more than it normally would. E. Astronauts usually take a lot of exercise in space to keep fit. F. Similarly, astronauts ’ bones begin to get weak and lose strength. G. But their spacecraft experienced technical problems and had to return to the Earth without them. ) Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore never imagined that they would spend nine months in orbit. Their first trip to the International Space Station (ISS) in June last year was supposed to last just eight days. 1. _______ Now they are finally returning home. Although they are both experienced astronauts, staying in a lowgravity environment for a long time has probably affected their bodies. 2. _______ Muscles and bones Without the constant pull of gravity on our arms and legs, muscle and bone mass quickly get weaker. The muscles that are most affected are those that help us keep our posture, such as the back and neck. After just two weeks, muscle mass can decrease by 20%, and by as much as 30% during longer missions. 3. _______ Astronauts can lose 1%—2% of their bone mass per month spent in space and up to 10% over a six-month period. This can increase the risk of fractures (骨折) and the time it takes to recover. It can take up to four years for their bone mass to return to normal after they return to the Earth. Weight loss 4. _______ Although NASA tries to ensure that its astronauts have different kinds of nutritious foods, the low-gravity environment can still affect an astronaut’s body. Scott Kelly, a NASA astronaut who took part in the most in-depth study of the effects of the long-term spaceflight after staying on board the ISS for 340 days, lost 7% of his body mass. Eyesight On the Earth, gravity helps pull the blood in our bodies down, while the heart pumps it back up. But in space, this process is influenced. 5. _______ Some of this fluid can pool at the back of the eye and around the optic nerve (视觉神经), causing edema (水肿). This can lead to changes in vision, such as decreased sharpness and structural changes in the eye itself. 参考答案 Unit 1 Asia 一、DACCA BACBD CDADB 二、1.At the museum’s gift shop. 2.Because of tourists’ interest in culture. 3.Metal ones. 4.Amazed. 5.Meaningful./Wonderful./Great.
