Section Ⅰ　“Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Within the next 3－5 years, advanced humanoid robots will transform elderly care by providing both physical support and emotional companionship. Professor Liu Lizheng of Fudan University emphasizes that robots must achieve high functional intelligence and genuine emotional interaction to make old people feel cared for, not just assisted. The “Guanghua No.1” robot, developed by Liu's team, has made it. Standing 165cm tall and weighing 62kg, it walks upright and expresses 21 distinct emotions, including joy, anger, and sorrow, through its animated face. This robot's ability to understand emotions, which is important for building trust, comes from three years of research that combines body movement science, computer technology, and big data systems. It employs a system inspired by the human brain and a reward method similar to how the brain uses dopamine (多巴胺), allowing it to recognize and react to people's feelings in a human-like way. Physically, the robot prioritizes safety and accuracy. Equipped with intelligent joints and a layered body-brain model, it performs delicate tasks like assisting seniors to rise from bed or move to the bathroom. Unlike household robots, caregiver robots assist fragile users. “If collision risks arise, it must carry out protective actions instantly，” Liu stresses. The robot continuously learns household routines through observation, adapting to individual preferences in cooking, cleaning, or mobility support. Global demand drives this innovation. Countries facing severe aging populations have shown strong interest in Guanghua No.1, which communicates in six languages. China currently leads this field, with multiple teams developing solutions for a shared challenge: sustainable elderly care. Robots like Guanghua No.1 represent more than technology — they offer tireless, personalized care combining physical assistance and emotional warmth. As the world's population changes, these new technologies may change how we respect older people by giving all-day help without getting tired. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了复旦大学团队研发的“光华一号”人形机器人可提供养老护理，能表情达意、辅助行动，适应个性化需求，引发了多国的关注。 1．How does Guanghua No.1 express its emotions?

The news was especially hard-hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam as a role model whose example is helping redefine women's status in science and especially in mathematics. What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media's spotlight. Despite being the first woman to gain such high status in the world of mathematics — winning what's often called the “Nobel Prize of Math” — her modesty (谦虚) and simplicity stood out to those who knew her. Maryam originally wanted to be a writer, a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduate studies. However, she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems. As a student, she was the first female member of Iran's national team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), and she won two gold medals in two years, which is still a record. She received her bachelor's degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard. In 2014, Maryam was recognized with the Fields Medal, the highest-ranking award in mathematics. Her work focused on curved surfaces like spheres (球体). Her achievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science. Unfortunately, at that time she was already tackling the breast cancer. Maryam's legend (传奇故事) may continue to grow after her early death. Still only 20 percent of full-time math teachers at American universities are women. The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspire math's next generation. In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers, Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a trailblazer as well as a mathematical genius. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了英年早逝的数学天才、斯坦福大学数学教授、首位菲尔兹数学奖女性得主马丽安·米尔札哈尼对数学的贡献及其影响，她将作为开路先锋和数学天才被载入史册。 5．What makes Maryam internationally recognized? A．Her unfading passion for writing. B．Fighting against sexual discrimination. C．Being the first female Fields Medal winner. D．Coming under the media's spotlight frequently. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“the first female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics”可知， 玛丽安作为首位菲尔兹数学奖女性得主而得到国际上的认可，故选项C正确。 6．What's Maryam's attitude towards fame? A．Resistant.　　　　 B．Realistic. C．Enthusiastic. 　 D．Doubtful. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media's spotlight.”可知，玛丽安对声誉持抵制态度，故选项A正确。 7．What can we know about Maryam? A．She won gold medals for Iran in IMO. B．She got her bachelor's degree at Harvard. C．She applied mathematics to material science. D．She instructed some female students to reach the top. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As a student, she was the first female member of Iran's national team ...in two years”可知， 玛丽安为伊朗国家队在两年内赢得两枚国际数学奥林匹克竞赛金牌，故选项A正确。 8．What does the underlined word “trailblazer” mean in the last paragraph? A．Talent. 　 B．Model. C．Follower. 　 D．Pioneer. 解析：选D　词义猜测题。最后一段中的“In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers”意为“就像人们认为玛丽·居里或珍妮·古道尔是科学先驱一样”，由此可推知画线词trailblazer意为“先驱”。故选D。句中In the same way 是做题的关键，意为“以同样的方式”。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Characteristics of an excellent scientist The Free Dictionary defines (定义) a scientist as a person having professional knowledge on one or more sciences, especially natural science or physical science. __9__ Let's look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist. Curiosity __10__ Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things worked. If a scientist doesn't have the drive to ask questions or even wonder, then he/she never gets to the first stage of the scientific process. Patience __11__ There are very few jobs that take longer than this one. Even if you think you have received some education in science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you're an instant-gratification (即时满足的) type of person, this may not be the best choice for you. Ethical (道德的) qualities In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people's life as well as the environment, since they are linked and they can affect each other in the long run. A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal or outside commercial (商业的) interests. Sticking to an old belief contradicted (反驳) by evidence is dishonest. __12__ Working habits An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation, keeping it in mind and recording it. __13__ He/She also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking skills connect him/her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/she may discover something new. A．Becoming a scientist takes a long time. B．An excellent scientist must be very curious about things. C．It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods. D．However, that belief shouldn't be changed without powerful evidence. E．He/She can work well alone or in groups, depending on what's needed. F．To make discoveries in human knowledge, you have to think differently. G．One of the main places that many scientists work in is the research laboratory. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些成功科学家们的性格特点。 9．选C　空格前指出“免费的词典”将科学家定义为对一门或多门科学的学科有专业知识的人，尤其是自然科学或物理科学，由此可知，此处也讲的是对科学家这一名词的理解。C项提出，它还将科学家定义为使用科学方法的人，符合语境。 10．选B　根据这一段的小标题 Curiosity可知，科学家们具备的一个特征就是保持好奇心，B项中的be very curious about things与之符合。 11．选A　根据小标题 Patience以及下文提到的几乎没有其他工作比这个更花费时间了可知，成为科学家需要很长一段时间，A项与之符合。 12．选D　空格上一句提到，坚持一个没有证据支撑的旧信念是不诚实的，此处提到了belief。D项指出，然而，那个信念要是没有强有力的证据是不应该被改变的，与上文意思连接紧密。 13.选E　根据小标题 Working habits可知，下面一段主要谈到工作习惯。空格前提到他们会记笔记；空格后提到他们需要口头和书面地交流他们的想法。比较选项可知，E项中指出他/她可以一个人工作得很好，也可以在团队中工作得很好，这也是一种工作习惯，符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
