(2025湖北恩施州期中)
Humanoid robots have recently been arranged to patrol(巡逻) the streets alongside human police officers in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, where they are noticed in high-visibility police vests performing duties, drawing widespread public attention as they actively communicate with the public.
A popular online video shows the robot walking in formation with police officers and enthusiastically shaking hands with people. It waved to the crowd and carried out voice commands, drawing many onlookers and bringing the city streets to life.
These humanoid robots, named PM01, were released on December 24, 2024. Standing 1.38 metres tall and weighing 40 kg, they cost 188,000 yuan each. Despite their compact size, the robots are driven by a powerful advanced learning algorithm(算法) for movement, enabling them to walk naturally and smoothly like humans and to perform complex movements such as front flips. Equipped with powerful chips and various sensors, including a LiDAR system—a device that uses lasers(激光) to measure distance and map their surroundings—these robots can make accurate responses to commands and navigate through environments.
The PM01 was engineered by EngineAI, a Shenzhen-based startup founded in 2023. The company has already showed several robot models, with the most groundbreaking one, the SE01, capable of performing complex actions such as squatting, jumping, doing push-ups, and bringing items back. Although the PM01 is currently in limited use within the Shenzhen police force, it helps officers with patrol duties, possibly reducing their workload.
The police robot generated significant interest after videos were shared on YouTube. Many online observers are eager to see more technologies walk into their everyday lives. One person said, “Beyond military and law enforcement applications, household service robots have the highest demand and greatest qualities that can be developed among humanoid robots. If they can replace housekeepers at an affordable price, we will enter a new era of humanoid robots.”
1.What was the public's first reaction to humanoid robots patrolling in Shenzhen?
A.The public quickly got tired of the robots.
B.The public was interested in the robots' performance.
C.The public feared the tech and avoided robot-patrolled areas.
D.The public doubted the robots' ability to perform the police duties.
2.What does the underlined word “compact” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A.Huge. B.Small. C.Medium. D.Wrong.
3.What do we know about the SE01 robot model?
A.It is more expensive than the PM01.
B.It is designed to work mainly in homes.
C.It can perform a wider range of actions than the PM01.
D.It is now being used by the Shenzhen police in large numbers.
4.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A.The Future of Humanoid Robots
B.The High Cost of Humanoid Robots
C.The Development of Humanoid Robots
D.The Patrol of Humanoid Robots in Shenzhen Streets

4.for 考查介词。句意:例如,我的名字“秋雨”对他们中的许多人而言恰好是个不小的挑战。for instance意为“例如”。
5.significance 考查名词。句意:六月的最后一声铃响后,我带着一本写满留言的年鉴离开了,那些是关于写作最强大意义的留言。根据空前名词所有格writing's和形容词最高级most powerful可知,本空应用名词形式。故填significance。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在广东省深圳市的街头,仿人机器人PM01与警察一同上街巡逻值勤,从而在网络上引起公众的广泛关注。
【高频词汇】 1.perform v.执行 2.enthusiastically adv.热情地 3.command n.指令 4.bring...to life 使……充满活力 5.release vt.发行 6.(be) equipped with 配备
7.groundbreaking adj.突破性的 8.workload n.工作量
9.generate v.引发 10.affordable adj.价格合理的
【熟词生义】 1.chip 熟义:n.炸薯条 生义:n.芯片
2.map 熟义:n.地图 生义:v.了解信息
3.engineer 熟义:n.工程师 生义:v.设计制造
4.quality 熟义:n.质量 生义:n.特性
【差距词汇】 1.in formation with与……列队同行
2.navigate v.导航 3.startup n.新兴公司
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“drawing widespread public attention as they actively communicate with the public”和第二段中“drawing many onlookers and bringing the city streets to life”可知,仿人机器人吸引了广泛的关注并引来许多围观者,这表明公众对其表现感兴趣。故选B。
2.B 词义猜测题。画线词上文提到机器人高1.38米、重40公斤,后文介绍这些机器人由一种强大的先进的运动学习算法驱动,使它们能够像人类一样自然且平稳地行走,并执行复杂的动作。结合Despite表示让步关系可知,此处意思是机器人虽然体型小巧,但却由强大的学习算法来驱动。故画线词“compact”和后文中“powerful”形成对比,意为“小的”。故选B。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中“the SE01, capable of performing complex actions...the PM01 is currently in limited use within the Shenzhen police force, it helps officers with patrol duties”可知,SE01 能够执行蹲下、跳跃、做俯卧撑和取物等复杂动作,而PM01目前主要用于巡逻。由此可见,SE01比PM01能完成的动作更广泛。故选C。
4.D 主旨大意题。本文主要围绕深圳街头出现仿人机器人与警察共同巡逻的事件展开,详细介绍了机器人(PM01)的外观、功能、研发公司及其在警务中的应用情况,同时提及公众和网友的关注与讨论。全文核心是深圳街头仿人机器人参与巡逻这一具体事件,故D项“仿人机器人在深圳街道的巡逻”为文章的最佳标题。
易错归因
A
文章仅在结尾提到网友对机器人未来应用的期待 (如家用场景),但主体部分聚焦于当前深圳街头的机器人巡逻实例,未深入探讨未来趋势,因此“仿人机器人的未来”并非文章核心。
C
文中虽提及研发公司(EngineAI)及部分技术细节(如算法、传感器),但目的是解释巡逻机器人的功能,而非全面介绍行业发展历程或技术演进,“仿人机器人的发展”范围过广,偏离核心事件。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能面部识别技术的工作原理和应用及人工智能的应用前景。
【高频词汇】 1.mysterious adj.神秘的 2.criminal suspect 犯罪嫌疑人 3.pick out 挑出;辨认出 4.facial recognition面部识别 5.security n.安全 6.expansion n.扩展,扩张 7.transfer v.转移;转乘 8.incomparable adj.不可比拟的,无双的
【差距词汇】 1.retail n.零售 2.install vt.安装,设置 3.booming adj.飞速发展的
1.G 上文“How did the police pick out the suspects among thousands of screaming fans?”提出了一个关于找到嫌疑人的疑问,G项“嗯,这只神秘的援助之手是人工智能面部识别技术。”承接上文,回答这一问题。
2.F 根据上文“Facial recognition is a technology...from a video source.(面部识别是一种能够从数字图像或视频源的帧中识别人物的技术。)”以及后文“But on the whole...with faces within a database.(但总的来说,它们是通过将给定图像中的选定面部特征与数据库中的面部特征进行比较来工作的。)”可知,F项“面部识别系统的工作方式有很多。”承接上文,并与后文构成转折。
3.B 本空为段落小标题。根据本段内容可知,传统上,面部识别技术与安全部门联系在一起,但如今,面部识别技术正积极扩展到零售、营销和金融等其他行业。在安保方面,城市里安装了人工智能摄像头,日夜工作,帮助识别通缉犯。因此本段主要介绍了面部识别的应用情况。B项“人工智能面部识别在哪里应用?”符合段意。
4.E 后文“It is a most efficient security means...because it is a most convenient tool.(它是开设银行账户、转账、购物和网上支付最有效的安全手段,因为它是一种非常方便的工具。)”介绍了人工智能给财务方面带来的方便,E项“人工智能也可以给财务部门带来便利。”引出下文。E项中“AI”对应后文中“It”。
5.D 根据上文“In general, prospects...use AI.(总的来说,人工智能的应用前景是光明的。在未来,每个人都将能够使用人工智能。)”及后文“Therefore, the number of fields that it can be applied to is incomparable.(因此,它可以应用的领域的数量是无与伦比的。)”可知,D项“它将很快成为工作和生活的基本工具。”承上启下,符合语境。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Kashif Hoda在地铁站被一个戴智能眼镜的年轻人问路,之后发现自己成了哈佛学生实验对象的故事。
【高频词汇】 1.indicate v.表明,显示 2.demonstration n.演示,展示 3.go viral迅速传播 4.commercialize v.商业化 5.reveal v.揭露,透露
【熟词生义】 cover 熟义:vt.遮蔽,遮盖 生义:vt.报道
【差距词汇】 guinea pig实验对象
1.B 根据后文“by the man's thick-framed glasses, but he did not realize that they were smart glasses”可知,Kashif Hoda被年轻人的厚框眼镜吸引 (struck),但没有意识到这是智能眼镜。guide指导; challenge挑战; inspire激发。故选B。
2.A 根据后文“Mr. Nguyen and a fellow Harvard student, Caine Ardayfio, had built glasses used for identifying”可知,这两个哈佛学生发明的眼镜有识别功能,由此可推知此处指眼镜上的小白灯表明眼镜正在录像(recording)。charge收费;load装载;reflect反映。故选A。
3.C 根据前文“asked him for directions”和后文“him again and asked”可知,这个人再次走近(approached) Hoda先生并问他问题。help帮助;question质疑;invite邀请。故选C。
4.D 根据后文“had previously been a journalist”可知,年轻人问的是“你刚好从事社区工作吗?”。happen to do sth.意为“碰巧做某事”, 符合语境。remember记得;intend打算;regret后悔。故选D。
5.A 根据后文“...a bit strange...how strange: he had been a guinea pig in an experiment.”可知,Hoda先生对这件事感到很震惊(shocked)。amused逗乐的; embarrassed尴尬的; relieved宽慰的。故选A。
6.D 根据“had previously been a journalist”可知,他过去是报道(covering) 社会问题的记者。solve解决;organize组织; reform改革。故选D。
7.C 根据前文“but had previously been a journalist”可知,Hoda先生以前是一名记者,所以Nguyen先生读过他的作品(work)。novel小说; poem诗歌; diary日记。故选C。
8.B 根据后文“his subway”并结合语境可知,Hoda先生上地铁前,他们握了手,他心里感觉这次邂逅有点奇怪。get on意为“上车”,符合语境。 look for寻找; wave at向……挥手; signal to发信号,示意。故选B。
9.C 根据后文“A week later, he found out just how strange: he had been a guinea pig in an experiment.”可知,Hoda先生发现自己成了实验对象,所以他觉得这次的邂逅 (encounter) 很奇怪。adventure冒险; relationship关系; task任务。故选C。
10.A 句意:Nguyen先生和另一位哈佛学生Caine Ardayfio发明了一种眼镜,可以用来实时识别陌生人,并在地铁站向包括Hoda先生在内的两名“真人”展示了这种眼镜。根据前文“when a young man asked him for directions”可知,Nguyen先生向Hoda先生问路,说明他们之前是陌生人(strangers)。journalist记者; student学生; friend朋友。故选A。
11.D 根据前文中的“experiment”和后文“them to two ‘real people’ at the subway station”可知,Nguyen先生和另一位哈佛学生在地铁站向包括Hoda先生在内的两名“真人”展示(demonstrated)了这种眼镜。discover发现; place放置; base以……为根据。故选D。
12.B 根据后文“to feature him in a video, and he agreed”可知,这两名学生请求Hoda先生允许(permission)他们在视频中着重展示他,他同意了。forgiveness原谅;information信息;application申请。故选B。
13.B 根据后文“All the tools were there. We just had the idea of combining them together.”可知,技术是现成的(available)。advertised打广告的;unpopular不受欢迎的;debated被讨论的。故选B。
14.D 根据前文“they had no desire to commercialize this project”可知,他们并不想将这个项目商业化,只是(simply)想证明这是可能的。suddenly突然; occasionally偶尔; immediately立即。故选D。
15.B 根据后文“their information from data broker sites that can reveal private details”可知,Nguyen先生鼓励人们从数据代理网站上删除 (remove)他们的信息,以防止私人信息被泄露。 obtain获得; update更新; analyze分析。故选B。
