Unit 2 Digital life 单元话题热点题型组合练 一、短文填空 Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letters are given (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给) People often ask smartphones questions and expect quick answers. So what makes humans trust smart machines? Researchers want to know. A team of researchers set up an e 1 . They wanted to find out how a robot best learns to do a certain task. They also hoped to learn how a robot can best explain its actions to w 2 humans’ trust. The engineers built a robot. Then they gave it a task. It had to open a safety-locked medicine bottle. First, a person showed the robot how to do it. The person wore a special glove that measured his hand positions and the forces he used to open the bottle. E 3 time the person’s hand moved, an action word described it. For example, words like “push” or “twist” were used. This was symbolic information. The robot needed this information to know how to open the bottle. Then, researchers gave the robot the bottle. But it h 4 ever got the bottle open. Why did it fail? The robot had the symbolic information it needed. But it didn’t have the haptic (触觉的) information. The researchers left that out. What’s haptic information? It has to do with what you feel when your body moves. For example, humans don’t just grasp and twist safety-locked bottles. We squeeze the cap tightly. We feel when the cap jams. Then we change our force until we l 5 the cap. The robot tried again. This time it had symbolic and haptic information. Success! The robot opened the bottle. An audience of 150 people watched the robot open the bottle. The audience was put into groups. The robot gave each group a different e 6 of the task. One group was given both symbolic and haptic information. Some groups got only symbolic information. Other groups got only haptic information. And some groups got less information or none at all. Which group trusted the robot the most? The group that r 7 both the symbolic and haptic information. And they said the symbolic information helped them see the robot as trustworthy. It was more important to them than the haptic information. 【答案】1．(e)xperiment 2．(w)in 3．(E)ach/(E)very 4．(h)ardly 5． (l)oosen 6．(e)xplanation 7．(r)eceived 【导语】本文讲述研究人员开展实验，探究机器人如何学习完成任务、怎样解释行动以获取人类信任，通过机器人开药瓶的实验及不同信息展示，得出相关结论。 1．句意：一组研究人员开展了一项实验。根据“Then they gave it a task.”可知，从后文对机器人任务、信息测试等内容可知是做实验，experiment“实验”，an后接可数名词单数，故填(e)xperiment。 2．句意：他们还希望了解机器人如何能最好地解释其行动以赢得人类的信任。根据“humans’ trust”可知，是要赢得信任，win“赢得”，此处用不定式表目的，故填(w)in。 3．句意：每次人的手移动，一个动作词就描述它。根据“time the person’s hand moved”及首字母提示可知，此处需引导时间状语从句；Each/Every time“每次”符合题意。故填(E)ach/(E)very。 4．句意：但它几乎没能打开瓶子。根据“Why did it fail?”可知，没成功，hardly“几乎不”表否定，符合语境，故填(h)ardly。 5．句意：然后我们改变用力，直到我们拧松瓶盖。根据“We squeeze the cap tightly.”可知，前文拧瓶盖的动作，改变用力是为了拧松，loosen“使松开；使放松”。故填(l)oosen。 6．句意：机器人给每个小组关于这项任务的不同解释。根据“The robot gave each group a different”及首字母提示可知，这里表示对任务的解释。explanation“解释；说明”，a后接单数名词，故填(e)xplanation。 7．句意：收到符号信息和触觉信息的小组。根据“both the symbolic and haptic information”可知，是收到这些信息，received“收到；接收”，文章叙述过去的实验，动词用过去式。故填(r)eceived。 Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the ability of machines to think and solve problems like humans. The idea of using smart machines is not n 1 . In ancient Greece, people created robots called “automatic servants.” These machines could pour wine and mix it with water. AI began to develop more in the 1950s. Before this time, computers were not very p 2 . They could only follow simple instructions and do basic calculations. These early machines could not learn or change, and they couldn’t remember information. Computers were also very expensive, costing a lot of money. Only big companies and universities could afford to use them. During World War II, the need for smart machines became very important. The Allied armies needed to understand secret messages from German s 3 . These messages were sent using a machine called the Enigma. In 1940, a group of codebreakers in England, led by Alan Turing, built a machine called the Bombe. This machine helped break the German code, which saved many lives. After the war, Turing worked on designing computers that could store programs. In 1950, he created the Turing test. The test can c 4 if a machine thinks like a human. Today, we still use a similar test called CAPTCHA to tell humans and machines apart. In 1956, John McCarthy introduced the term “artificial intelligence” at a conference in the United States. This marked the s 5 of serious research into AI. Over the years, AI has grown a lot. Machines can now learn from data, making them smarter over time. For example, streaming services use AI to recommend shows based on what you like. As AI becomes more w 6 used, researchers are working to create even smarter machines for the future. This ongoing effort aims to make technology easier to use and improve its functions in different areas. 【答案】1．(n)ew 2．(p)owerful 3．(s)oldiers 4．(c)heck 5．(s)tart 6．(w)idely 【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能（AI）的发展历程。 1．句意：使用智能机器的想法并不新鲜。根据“In ancient Greece, people created robots called ‘automatic servants.’ ”结合首字母提示可知，此处表示使用智能机器的想法不是新的，new“新的”，形容词作表语。故填(n)ew。 2．句意：在此之前，计算机不是很强大。根据“They could only follow simple instructions and do basic calculations.”结合首字母提示可知，它们只能按照简单的指令做基本的计算，因此之前的机器不是很强大，powerful“强大的”，形容词作表语。故填(p)owerful。 3．句意：盟军需要理解来自德国士兵的秘密信息。根据“The Allied armies needed to understand secret messages from German … .”结合首字母提示可知，此处应表示盟军需要理解来自德国士兵的信息，soldier“士兵”，可数名词，此处应用复数形式表示泛指。故填(s)oldiers。 4．句意：该测试可以检查机器是否像人类一样思考。根据“The test can … if a machine thinks like a human.”结合首字母提示可知，此处应表示该测试可以检查机器是否像人类一样思考，check“检查”，动词，情态动词can后应用动词原形。故填(c)heck。 5．句意：这标志着人们开始认真研究人工智能。根据“In 1956, John McCarthy introduced the term “artificial intelligence” at a conference in the United States.”与“the”结合首字母提示可知，此处应指这标志着人们开始认真研究人工智能，start“开始”，名词。故填(s)tart。 6．句意：随着人工智能被更广泛运用，研究人员正在努力为未来创造更智能的机器。根据“As AI becomes more … used, researchers are working to create even smarter machines for the future.”结合首字母提示可知，此处应指随着人工智能被更广泛运用，widely“广泛地”，副词修饰动词。故填(w)idely。 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。使全文通顺、连贯。 Online encyclopaedias are like endless treasure boxes filled with 1 (know) on the Internet.

Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 2 . The human memory is a much more efficient system. Another problem is the 3 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 4 information from different websites. Knowing (and remembering) how to find certain information will be more important than knowing the information itself. Finally, the internet is a good tool but it cannot take the place of our 5 . If we did not remember anything, we would all spend even more time on our phones and computers than we already do, which is not good for society.

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of children who can play with computers or smartphones, but have few or no skills to play by making things,” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. Many children can’t communicate with other children but their parents are proud of their ability to use a computer or a smartphone. Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age? ________ Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is important for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities, which will be useful to them when they grow up. 1．What’s the worst problem in the first paragraph?

Is it exciting? AI humans might help with it. Today, AI humans are popular at home and abroad. As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. But what else can they do? And what can only be done by humans but not AI? Digital humans today play roles in many ways. They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and cover the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster. In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her make-up and how she dresses, and even do webcasts (网络直播)! During China Fashion Week, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀). “Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu from the company. Liu took the digital tour guides as an example. They can be in different places and from different times in history. But AI humans have their disadvantages. Take Yuanxi as an example. She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t team up and communicate with others in real time. As Yuanxi wrote, “Virtual employees show the power of AI but they are not a replacement for traditional human employees.” 1．In what ways can AI humans be like real people? 2．What roles can digital humans play? 3．Who is Xi Jiajia according to Paragraph 4? 4．According to the passage, what could virtual idols do that people cannot do in the real world? 5．What are the things that only real humans have? 6．Will you buy AI humans in the future? Why or why not? 【答案】1．They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. 2．They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. 3．She is the first digital idol of a Chinese tech company. 4．Time travel. 5．Human touch and EQ. 6．Yes. Because they can do many things for us so that we can relax ourselves. 【导语】本文主要介绍了AI人像技术及它的优缺点。 1．根据“As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities.”可知，它们可以模仿真实人物的声音和动作，甚至还能复制他们的个性。故填They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. 2．根据“They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more.”可知，它们可以是偶像、视频博主、记者等多种角色。故填They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. 3．根据“In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia.”可知，她是一家中国科技公司推出的首位数字偶像。故填She is the first digital idol of a Chinese tech company. 4．根据“Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel”可知，虚拟偶像能实现时间旅行。故填Time travel. 5．根据“She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things that only a real human can have.”可知，只有真人才具备人类触觉和情商。故填Human touch and EQ. 6．本题是开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为Yes. Because they can do many things for us so that we can relax ourselves. Digital technology is making a big difference in emergency situations. One example is the smart watch, which can keep an eye on users’ health. If it detects an abnormal heart rate, it will automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. This has saved many lives, especially for elderly people living alone. Another useful technology is speech recognition. It helps people with disabilities communicate more easily. For example, people who cannot type can use speech recognition to send messages or control electronic devices. This technology is also used in customer service, where AI systems can understand and respond to users’ questions quickly. 3D printers are changing how things are made. In some hospitals, 3D printers are used to create custom-made parts for patients, such as artificial hands. This makes treatment more effective and reduces the cost of medical care. Digital payment methods are also becoming more popular. With digital wallets and QR codes, people can pay for things without carrying cash. This is not only convenient but also safer, as it reduces the risk of losing money. However, it’s important to protect digital wallets with strong passwords to prevent theft. 1．What can a smart watch do if it detects an abnormal heart rate? 2．How does speech recognition help people with disabilities? 3．What are 3D printers used for in some hospitals? 4．What are the advantages of digital payment methods? 5．What should people do to protect their digital wallets? 【答案】1．It can automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. 2．It helps them communicate more easily by sending messages or controlling electronic devices. 3．They are used to create custom-made parts for patients, such as artificial hands. 4．They are convenient and safer, reducing the risk of losing money. 5．They should protect digital wallets with strong passwords. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了数字技术在紧急情况、残疾人辅助、医疗制造和支付方式等方面的应用和优势。 1．根据“If it detects an abnormal heart rate, it will automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location.”可知，智能手表在检测到异常心率时会自动呼叫紧急服务并发送位置。故填It can automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. 2．根据“It helps people with disabilities communicate more easily.

The first letters are given (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给) People often ask smartphones questions and expect quick answers. So what makes humans trust smart machines? Researchers want to know. A team of researchers set up an e 1 . They wanted to find out how a robot best learns to do a certain task. They also hoped to learn how a robot can best explain its actions to w 2 humans’ trust. The engineers built a robot. Then they gave it a task. It had to open a safety-locked medicine bottle. First, a person showed the robot how to do it. The person wore a special glove that measured his hand positions and the forces he used to open the bottle. E 3 time the person’s hand moved, an action word described it. For example, words like “push” or “twist” were used. This was symbolic information. The robot needed this information to know how to open the bottle. Then, researchers gave the robot the bottle. But it h 4 ever got the bottle open. Why did it fail? The robot had the symbolic information it needed. But it didn’t have the haptic (触觉的) information. The researchers left that out. What’s haptic information? It has to do with what you feel when your body moves. For example, humans don’t just grasp and twist safety-locked bottles. We squeeze the cap tightly. We feel when the cap jams. Then we change our force until we l 5 the cap. The robot tried again. This time it had symbolic and haptic information. Success! The robot opened the bottle. An audience of 150 people watched the robot open the bottle. The audience was put into groups. The robot gave each group a different e 6 of the task. One group was given both symbolic and haptic information. Some groups got only symbolic information. Other groups got only haptic information. And some groups got less information or none at all. Which group trusted the robot the most? The group that r 7 both the symbolic and haptic information. And they said the symbolic information helped them see the robot as trustworthy. It was more important to them than the haptic information. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the ability of machines to think and solve problems like humans. The idea of using smart machines is not n 1 . In ancient Greece, people created robots called “automatic servants.” These machines could pour wine and mix it with water. AI began to develop more in the 1950s. Before this time, computers were not very p 2 . They could only follow simple instructions and do basic calculations. These early machines could not learn or change, and they couldn’t remember information. Computers were also very expensive, costing a lot of money. Only big companies and universities could afford to use them. During World War II, the need for smart machines became very important. The Allied armies needed to understand secret messages from German s 3 . These messages were sent using a machine called the Enigma. In 1940, a group of codebreakers in England, led by Alan Turing, built a machine called the Bombe. This machine helped break the German code, which saved many lives. After the war, Turing worked on designing computers that could store programs. In 1950, he created the Turing test. The test can c 4 if a machine thinks like a human. Today, we still use a similar test called CAPTCHA to tell humans and machines apart. In 1956, John McCarthy introduced the term “artificial intelligence” at a conference in the United States. This marked the s 5 of serious research into AI. Over the years, AI has grown a lot. Machines can now learn from data, making them smarter over time. For example, streaming services use AI to recommend shows based on what you like. As AI becomes more w 6 used, researchers are working to create even smarter machines for the future. This ongoing effort aims to make technology easier to use and improve its functions in different areas. 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。使全文通顺、连贯。 Online encyclopaedias are like endless treasure boxes filled with 1 (know) on the Internet.

Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 2 . The human memory is a much more efficient system. Another problem is the 3 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 4 information from different websites. Knowing (and remembering) how to find certain information will be more important than knowing the information itself. Finally, the internet is a good tool but it cannot take the place of our 5 . If we did not remember anything, we would all spend even more time on our phones and computers than we already do, which is not good for society.

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of children who can play with computers or smartphones, but have few or no skills to play by making things,” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. Many children can’t communicate with other children but their parents are proud of their ability to use a computer or a smartphone. Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age? ________ Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is important for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities, which will be useful to them when they grow up. 1．What’s the worst problem in the first paragraph?

Is it exciting? AI humans might help with it. Today, AI humans are popular at home and abroad. As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. But what else can they do? And what can only be done by humans but not AI? Digital humans today play roles in many ways. They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and cover the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster. In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her make-up and how she dresses, and even do webcasts (网络直播)! During China Fashion Week, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀). “Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu from the company. Liu took the digital tour guides as an example. They can be in different places and from different times in history. But AI humans have their disadvantages. Take Yuanxi as an example. She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t team up and communicate with others in real time. As Yuanxi wrote, “Virtual employees show the power of AI but they are not a replacement for traditional human employees.” 1．In what ways can AI humans be like real people? 2．What roles can digital humans play? 3．Who is Xi Jiajia according to Paragraph 4? 4．According to the passage, what could virtual idols do that people cannot do in the real world? 5．What are the things that only real humans have? 6．Will you buy AI humans in the future? Why or why not? Digital technology is making a big difference in emergency situations. One example is the smart watch, which can keep an eye on users’ health. If it detects an abnormal heart rate, it will automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. This has saved many lives, especially for elderly people living alone. Another useful technology is speech recognition. It helps people with disabilities communicate more easily. For example, people who cannot type can use speech recognition to send messages or control electronic devices. This technology is also used in customer service, where AI systems can understand and respond to users’ questions quickly. 3D printers are changing how things are made. In some hospitals, 3D printers are used to create custom-made parts for patients, such as artificial hands. This makes treatment more effective and reduces the cost of medical care. Digital payment methods are also becoming more popular. With digital wallets and QR codes, people can pay for things without carrying cash. This is not only convenient but also safer, as it reduces the risk of losing money. However, it’s important to protect digital wallets with strong passwords to prevent theft. 1．What can a smart watch do if it detects an abnormal heart rate? 2．How does speech recognition help people with disabilities? 3．What are 3D printers used for in some hospitals? 4．What are the advantages of digital payment methods? 5．What should people do to protect their digital wallets? 六、选词填空 Choose the proper words to complete the following passage.
