For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
39. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.
40. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
41. Why do parents and teens want to be right?
A. To give orders to the other. B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other. D. To get the other to behave properly.
42. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems. B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D. Future of the parent teen relationship.
【答案】39. B 40. B 41. C 42. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了父母与青少年之间的矛盾冲突及常见的三种情况。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?(就像邻国之间的边境冲突一样,父母与青少年之间的战争是关于界限的:在我能控制的事情和你所做的事情之间的界限在哪里呢?)”可推知,作者把父母与青少年之间的战争比作边境冲突是因为两者都关乎界限在哪里,也就是在哪里划线的问题。故选B。
【40题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. (从父母的角度来看,他们争吵的唯一原因是他们的青少年完全不讲道理)”以及“Both feel trapped.(双方都觉得陷入了困境)”可知,双方陷入了困境的原因是父母认为是青少年的原因导致冲突,而青少年则认为是父母的原因导致冲突,所以划线部分意思是 “青少年指责他们的父母引发了冲突”。故选B。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect.(第三,需要证明自己是对的。无论话题是什么——政治、物理定律,还是打鸡蛋的正确方法——这些争论的重点是证明你是对的,而对方是错的,因为双方都希望被视为权威——一个真正懂点东西的人——从而赢得尊重)”可知,父母和青少年都想证明自己是对的是为了赢得对方的尊重。故选C。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.(在这篇文章中,我将描述三种通常出现在青少年和父母之间的两败俱伤的情况,然后提出一些摆脱困境的方法)”以及后面描述了三种情况可知,接下来作者很可能会讨论解决父母与青少年问题的方法。故选A。
C
At top universities; there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking hopelessly to keep up.
Experts from Stanford’s Health Services explored this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common wrong idea: true talents achieve success effortlessly, while those working hard are less capable.
In an effort to challenge this misconception (误解), researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily recognized colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to recognize. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.
The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the continuous application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will disappear over time.
This pushes us to reconsider the culture behind that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a change would not only reduce the pressures related to the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a big effect on personal development and the future of education.
43. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe?
A. Choosing effort over well-being.
B. Relieving stress through social activities.
C. Showing graceful images to attract others.
D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted.
44. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge misconception?
A. By showing effort activates the brain activity.
B. By proving focus improves brain function.
C. By linking color recognition to intelligence.
D. By connecting careful observation with talent.
45. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”?
A. It values the learning process over outcomes.
B. It causes stress and false ideas about success.
C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents.
D. It makes students value socializing more than studying.
46 Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Fortune prefers those with a clear mind.
B. Hard work is the seed that grows into success.
C. Work in silence and let success make the noise.
D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it.
【答案】43. D 44. A 45. B 46. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的表现,通过实验证明成功需持续努力而非仅靠天赋,并提出应倡导重视努力的文化以改善该现象。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully(优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking hopelessly to keep up.(就像鸭子一样,学生们表面上看似行动优雅,从容不迫;但在水面之下,他们却在拼命扑腾,只为跟上节奏。)”以及第二段“However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success.(然而到了晚上,他们便开始投入学习,有时甚至会通宵苦读,只为维持毫不费力就能成功的形象。)”可知,“斯坦福鸭子综合征”指学生表面看似轻松从容,实则在背后拼命努力,只为维持无需努力就能成功的形象,即,隐藏努力以显得天生有天赋。故选D。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily recognized colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to recognize. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.(参与者被要求仔细观察一系列颜色,同时科学家在整个过程中追踪他们的大脑活动。实验分为两部分:一部分是容易辨认的颜色,另一部分是十分相似的颜色,需要付出更多努力才能辨认。随着任务难度的增加,大脑活动明显增强,尤其是在与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域。)”可知,第三段实验过程随着任务难度提升,大脑活动明显增强,尤其是记忆和抽象推理相关脑区;再结合第四段结论“The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged.(该研究表明,任务对努力的需求越高,参与工作的脑区就越多。)”可知,该实验通过证明努力会激活大脑活动,反驳了天赋者无需努力、努力者能力弱的误解。故选A。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread.

【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the continuous application of effort.(成长并非仅靠天赋,而是源于持续不断的努力付出。)”以及第五段“Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work.(我们不应过分关注结果,也不应过度吹捧先天天赋,而应重视学习过程与持续进步。通过倡导重视努力的文化,我们能帮助学生认识到,智力并非固定不变,而是能通过努力不断提升的。)”可知,作者始终强调努力对成功的关键作用。故选B。

Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands, Google said on Thursday.
Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United States live with disabilities, which has pushed Google, Apple and Microsoft to make products and services more accessible to them. “Every day, people use voice instructions, like ‘Hey Google’, or their hands to operate their phones,” the tech giant Google said in a blog post. “However, that’s not always possible for people with serious physical or speech disabilities.”
The changes are the result of two new features: One is called “Camera Switches”, which lets people use their faces instead of taps to interact with smartphones. The other is Project Activate, a new Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action, like having a phone play a recorded phrase, send text, or make a call. The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.
Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on web pages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions that display what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches.
47. What is the main role of the two new tools?
A. Taking sharper photographs with a phone. B. Using smartphones with face gestures.
C. Curing people’s speech or physical disabilities. D. Increasing the fun of playing with smartphones.
48. What do we know about the Project Activate app?
A. It’s sold at a high price. B. It’s mainly used to send texts.
C. It’s instructed by voice. D. It’s being used in a few countries.
49. What does the underlined part “rolling out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Picking out. B. Referring to. C. Bringing out. D. Reacting to.
50. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To promote Android-powered smartphones.
B. To encourage more movements suitable for the disabled.
C. To explain the problems disabled smartphone users have.
D. To introduce some other inventions benefiting the disabled.
【答案】47. B 48. D 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了谷歌周四称,有语言或身体残疾的人现在可以通过扬起眉毛或微笑来操作他们的安卓智能手机,而不用用手。文章介绍了具体的工具使用方法以及其他一些有益于残疾人的发明。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.(两种新工具让智能手机上的机器学习和前置摄像头发挥作用,识别面部和眼部运动。用户可以看着手机屏幕,通过微笑、扬起眉毛、张大嘴巴、向左、向右或向上看来选择任务)”可知,这两个新工具的主要作用是帮助用户使用带有面部表情的智能手机。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.(这款免费的Activate应用程序在澳大利亚、英国、加拿大和美国的谷歌Play Store中都可以使用)”可知,Activate应用程序在一些国家被使用。故选D。
【49题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult”可知,苹果、谷歌和微软不断推出新发明,让残障人士或那些发现年龄使阅读等一些任务变得更困难的人更容易使用互联网技术。故画线词意思是“推出”。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on web pages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions that display what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches.(苹果、谷歌和微软不断推出新发明,让残障人士或那些发现年龄使阅读等一些任务变得更困难的人更容易使用互联网技术。内置在扬声器和智能手机中的语音指示数字助理可以让视力或行动有困难的人告诉电脑该做什么。有一种软件可以识别网页或图片中的文字,然后大声朗读,还可以自动生成字幕,显示视频中的内容。苹果将“AssistiveTouch”内置到支持其智能手表的软件中。它可以通过感应手指捏或握拳等动作来控制触摸屏显示)”可推知,作者写最后一段的目的是介绍其他一些有益于残疾人的发明。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A robot is chatting to an elderly British man in his bedroom. ____51____ . Perhaps because of the man’s age, the robot starts asking him about his memories of the Second World War. The elderly man goes on to tell how his father was in the army, and he hasn’t seen him for years.
____52____. The behavior is the product of the Caresses project which aims to design robots that can take into account the cultural background of the person they’re talking to. The man is British, so the robot thinks he will be interested in such a topic, regardless of the man’s personal feelings.
Cultural robotics is part of a wider movement to make robotics more culturally inclusive. ____53____ For example, because the Internet is mainly in English, large language models are primarily trained on English text — with the cultural biases (偏见) existing. Similarly, the move to make robots more culturally sensitive means well, but people are worried about where it could lead, considering the diverse cultural preferences across different social groups.
Humans from different cultures react differently to robots. For example, different cultures have different expectations around personal space, and this affects how far they prefer robots to stand from them. ____54____ People are more able to understand a robot if it uses the facial expressions they are familiar with.
Culture is a complex concept, open to various explanations. ____55____ . To avoid designing robots based on stereotypes (刻板印象), we will need to be more thoughtful.
A. It has a pleasantly bright voice.
B. Does this topic really hold a person’s interest
C. However, concerns about this have been raised.
D. This practice is widely recognized across cultures.
E. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical.
F. Why does a robot mention a topic that may cause pain?
G. Different cultures interpret facial expressions differently too.
【答案】51. A 52. F 53. C 54. G 55. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕文化机器人技术展开,介绍了其相关项目,阐述了使人工智能和机器人技术更具文化包容性这一趋势以及面临的问题,如文化的多样性导致不同文化背景的人对机器人的反应不同,还指出需要更周全的视角来避免基于刻板印象设计机器人。
【51题详解】
根据空前的“A robot is chatting to an elderly British man in his bedroom.(一个机器人正在一位英国老人的卧室里和他聊天。)”可知,此处描述机器人在与一位英国老人聊天,由此可知,此空应描述机器人的相关特征,A选项“It has a pleasantly bright voice. (它有着悦耳明亮的声音。)”进一步介绍了机器人的特点,使描述更具体,符合语境。故选A项。
【52题详解】
根据空后的“The behavior is the product of the Caresses project which aims to design robots that can take into account the cultural background of the person they’re talking to. The man is British, so the robot thinks he will be interested in such a topic, regardless of the man’s personal feelings. (这种行为是Caresses项目的产物。该项目属于文化机器人学的新领域,旨在设计出能够考虑到对话者文化背景的机器人。这个人是英国人,所以机器人认为他会对这样的话题感兴趣,而忽略了这个人的个人感受)”可知,此处解释这是Caresses项目的设定,机器人忽略了老人的个人感受,由此可推测,空处应提出对机器人忽略个人感受这一行为的疑问,F选项“Why does a robot mention a topic that may cause pain? (为什么机器人会提到一个可能带来痛苦的话题?)”以疑问的形式引出对机器人提问意图的探讨,与下文“项目旨在考虑文化背景”形成因果关系,符合语境。故选F项。
【53题详解】
根据空前的“Cultural robotics is part of a wider movement to make robotics more culturally inclusive.(文化机器人学是使机器人学更具文化包容性的更广泛运动的一部分。)”以及空后的“Similarly, the move to make robots more culturally sensitive means well, but people are worried about where it could lead, considering the diverse cultural preferences across different social groups. (同样地,让机器人更具文化敏感性的举措初衷是好的,但考虑到不同社会群体存在多样化的文化偏好,人们担心这一举措可能会带来何种结果。)”可知,此处应体现人们对文化机器人学存在担忧,C选项“However, concerns about this have been raised. (然而,对此的担忧已经出现。)”与前文形成转折,引出下文人们的担忧,符合语境。故选C项。
54题详解】
根据空前的“For example, different cultures have different expectations around personal space, and this affects how far they prefer robots to stand from them.(例如,不同的文化对个人空间有不同的期望,这会影响他们希望机器人与自己保持的距离。)”以及空后的“People are more able to understand a robot if it uses the facial expressions they are familiar with.(如果机器人使用人们熟悉的面部表情,人们更容易理解它。)”可知,空前提到了不同文化背景的人对机器人的反应不同,空后提到了机器人使用人们熟悉的面部表情进行交流,所以,空处应承上启下,说明不同文化对机器人面部表情的反应也不同,G选项“Different cultures interpret facial expressions differently too. (不同的文化对面部表情的解读也不同。)”与前后文都围绕不同文化的差异展开,补充另一个文化差异的维度,与下文“熟悉的表情更易理解”直接相关,符合语境。故选G项。
【55题详解】
根据空前的“Culture is a complex concept, open to various explanations.(文化是一个复杂的概念,可以有多种解释。)”可知,此处应说明由于文化的复杂性,通用的方法并不适用,E选项“Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical. (因此,一刀切的方法是不切实际的。)”与空前为因果关系,是前文文化复杂性得出的结论。故选E项。

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
39. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.
40. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
41. Why do parents and teens want to be right?
A. To give orders to the other. B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other. D. To get the other to behave properly.
42. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems. B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D. Future of the parent teen relationship.
C
At top universities; there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking hopelessly to keep up.
Experts from Stanford’s Health Services explored this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common wrong idea: true talents achieve success effortlessly, while those working hard are less capable.
In an effort to challenge this misconception (误解), researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily recognized colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to recognize. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.
The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the continuous application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will disappear over time.
This pushes us to reconsider the culture behind that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a change would not only reduce the pressures related to the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a big effect on personal development and the future of education.
43. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe?
A. Choosing effort over well-being.
B. Relieving stress through social activities.
C. Showing graceful images to attract others.
D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted.
44. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge misconception?
A. By showing effort activates the brain activity.
B. By proving focus improves brain function.
C. By linking color recognition to intelligence.
D. By connecting careful observation with talent.
45. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”?
A It values the learning process over outcomes.
B. It causes stress and false ideas about success.
C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents.
D. It makes students value socializing more than studying.
46. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Fortune prefers those with a clear mind.
B. Hard work is the seed that grows into success.
C. Work in silence and let success make the noise.
D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it.
D
Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands, Google said on Thursday.
Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United States live with disabilities, which has pushed Google, Apple and Microsoft to make products and services more accessible to them. “Every day, people use voice instructions, like ‘Hey Google’, or their hands to operate their phones,” the tech giant Google said in a blog post. “However, that’s not always possible for people with serious physical or speech disabilities.”
The changes are the result of two new features: One is called “Camera Switches”, which lets people use their faces instead of taps to interact with smartphones. The other is Project Activate, a new Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action, like having a phone play a recorded phrase, send text, or make a call. The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.
Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on web pages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions that display what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches.
47. What is the main role of the two new tools?
A. Taking sharper photographs with a phone. B. Using smartphones with face gestures.
C. Curing people’s speech or physical disabilities. D. Increasing the fun of playing with smartphones.
48. What do we know about the Project Activate app?
A. It’s sold at a high price. B. It’s mainly used to send texts.
C. It’s instructed by voice. D. It’s being used in a few countries.
49. What does the underlined part “rolling out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Picking out. B. Referring to. C. Bringing out. D. Reacting to.
50. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To promote Android-powered smartphones.
B. To encourage more movements suitable for the disabled.
C. To explain the problems disabled smartphone users have.
D. To introduce some other inventions benefiting the disabled.

A robot is chatting to an elderly British man in his bedroom. ____51____ . Perhaps because of the man’s age, the robot starts asking him about his memories of the Second World War. The elderly man goes on to tell how his father was in the army, and he hasn’t seen him for years.
____52____. The behavior is the product of the Caresses project which aims to design robots that can take into account the cultural background of the person they’re talking to. The man is British, so the robot thinks he will be interested in such a topic, regardless of the man’s personal feelings.
Cultural robotics is part of a wider movement to make robotics more culturally inclusive. ____53____ For example because the Internet is mainly in English, large language models are primarily trained on English text — with the cultural biases (偏见) existing. Similarly, the move to make robots more culturally sensitive means well, but people are worried about where it could lead, considering the diverse cultural preferences across different social groups.
Humans from different cultures react differently to robots. For example, different cultures have different expectations around personal space, and this affects how far they prefer robots to stand from them. ____54____ People are more able to understand a robot if it uses the facial expressions they are familiar with.
Culture is a complex concept, open to various explanations. ____55____ . To avoid designing robots based on stereotypes (刻板印象), we will need to be more thoughtful.

B. Does this topic really hold a person’s interest
C. However, concerns about this have been raised.
D. This practice is widely recognized across cultures.
E. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical.
F. Why does a robot mention a topic that may cause pain?
G. Different cultures interpret facial expressions differently too.
