Ⅲ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
A new technology allowing children with
disabilities to engage in conversations more
easily has been launched today.The "How was
school today?"software system was developed
by the Universities of Dundee and Aberdeen as
well as the disability charity Capability
Scotland.
Rolf Black,from the University of Dundee's
School of Computing,said in a statement,"For
a child with severe movement disabilities and
limited or no speech,holding a conversation is
often very difficult and limited to short one-to-
3
two-word answers.To tell a longer story,a
communication tool is often needed to form
sentences but this can be very time-consuming,
putting a lot of pressure on holding and
controlling the conversation."This technology
simplifies the task.It starts with a sensor
attached to a child's wheelchair which in turn
tracks where they have been and what they have
done during their day..Swipe cards(磁卡)enable
adults,such as carers or teachers,to log when
they have interacted with the child and a recorder
is built in allowing people to add in more details
about what the child has done.
Once all the information is collected,natural
language generation (NLG)is used to create
simple sentences to describe the activities a child
has taken part in,letting them have a discussion
about their day.
The scheme(方案)was piloted at Corseford
School near Glasgow by two of the pupils.Sue
Williams,head teacher at the school,said,"In
the week we used the system;we found it very
useful to pupils,teachers,therapists(治疗师)
and parents alike.It allows children to take
control of the conversation without having to rely
on help from us."The project was funded by the
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council (EPSRC).
A statement from the University of
Aberdeen said that plans were in place to develop
the design of the software further and more pilots
will be taking place in the future.
1.What does the new technology allow children
with disabilities to do?
[A]To prepare the conversations well.
[B]To get easily involved in conversations.
[c]To master the technique of conversations.
[D]To realise the importance of conversations.
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
[A]How the new software functions.
[B]What children have done during their day.
[c]How teachers have interacted with the child.
[D]Why a recorder is built in a child's wheelchair.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
[A]Sue Williams speaks highly of the system.
[B]The scheme was tested by all the pupils at
Corseford School.
[c]The project was funded by the teachers at
Corseford School.
[D]Children can have a discussion with natural
language generation.
4.What will happen to the software according to
the last paragraph?
[A]It will be difficult to handle.
[B]It will be further perfected.
[c]It will be well received by people.
[D]It will reach the market soon.
B
Scientists from the Faculty of Engineering,
Information and Systems at the University of
Tsukuba designed a text message mediation
robot that can help users control their anger
when receiving upsetting news.This device may
help improve social interactions as we move towards
a world with increasingly digital communications.
分层作业(四)
(总分50分)
While a quick text message apology is a fast
and easy way for friends to let us know they are
going to be late for a planned meeting,it is often
missing the human element that would accompany
an explanation face-to-face,or even over the phone.
It is likely to be more upsetting when we are not
able to perceive the emotional weight behind our
friends'regret at making us wait.
Now,researchers at the University of
Tsukuba have built a handheld robot called
OMOY,which is equipped with a movable
weight driven by mechanical components inside
its body.By shifting the internal weight,the
robot can express simulated emotions.The robot
is used as a mediator for reading text messages.
A text with unwelcome or frustrating news can
be followed by a persuasion by OMOY.The
robot tries to make the user not get upset,or
even expresses sympathy for the user."With the
medium of written digital communication,the
lack of social feedback redirects focus from the
sender to the content of the message itself,"
author Professor Fumihide Tanaka says.
The mediator robot was designed so that it
could help suppress the user's anger and other
negative interpersonal motivations.
The
researchers tested 94 people with a message like
"I'm sorry.I am late.The appointment slipped

my mind.Can you wait another hour?"The
team found that OMOY was able to reduce
negative emotions."The mediator robot can
relay a frustrating message followed by giving its
own opinion.When this speech is accompanied
by the appropriate weight shifts,we saw that the
user would sense the 'intention'of the robot to
help them calm down,"Professor Tanaka says.

[B]It can control a person's emotion.

emotions?

V.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Imagine flying into the future in a time
machine,100 years from today.What do you
see?Flying cars passing us by,robots granting
our every wish,or maybe even cities on Mars?
Just as the present day would amaze someone
from 100 years ago,life in the next century could
be a blanket of the fantastic woven with threads
of tomorrow's innovation.1
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality(增强现实)
Virtual reality (VR)and augmented reality
(AR)will enable you to immerse(沉浸)
yourself in digital environments that are similar
to the real world.Whether it's for
entertainment,education,or business,you
could attend virtual meetings that feel as if you
were in the same room with attendants from
around the globe.2
Global Population Dynamics
Your world's population is expected to
continue growing,but the growth rate may slow
down.This could lead to changes in age
composition,with a higher proportion of elderly
individuals.3 For example,climate change
can push
people to relocate,altering
demographic patterns and possibly leading to new
population centers.This demographic shift will
influence how resources are allocated and could
reshape the geopolitical landscape.
Artificial Intelligence (AI and Robotics
4 AI systems will become more
intuitive,understanding your needs and
preferences with precision.Imagine robotic
assistants in your home catering to daily chores,
smart healthcare diagnosing and treating medical
conditions with unprecedented accuracy,and
educational tools that adapt to your learning style
for optimal knowledge absorption.
Medicine and Health Care
As you look a century ahead,you can expect
to see incredible changes in medicine and health
care.
5 Get ready for personalised
treatments,thanks to progress in genetic
engineering,and anticipate significant increases
in life expectancy due to these advancements.

new look.
B.What will be different in life in 100 years:
Imagining tomorrow's world?
C.Join me on this exciting journey as we stare at
the crystal ball of the future.
D.These changes are likely to reshape how
diseases are prevented and managed.
E.Moreover,the global living area of population
might change due to many factors.
F.Artificial intelligence is set to revolutionise
the way you interact with the world
around you.
G.Or you could explore historical events in
immersive educational experiences that bring
the past to vivid life.
