In science fiction that is usually a terrible warning.Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear.In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses.Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and fundamental benefits. New “multimodal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data.This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words.You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”．Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit.You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming. The new models enable robots to explain the reasoning behind their actions.That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways.So long as robots' brains are not confusing black boxes, programming and debugging (排错) them is fairly straightforward.The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match. Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age.Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly.Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later.In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了机器人技术并提出该项技术的进展将给社会带来益处。 1．Why are people concerned about robots? A．They can raise unemployment rates. B．They are replacing low-paid labour. C．They might become killers. D．They are hard to control. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段的“In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses.”可知，人们对机器人心存忧虑的原因是认为它们会使越来越多的高薪工作消失，导致失业率上升。 2．What is the strength of new “multimodal” AI models? A．Interacting with other robots. B．Replacing human workers completely. C．Being free from reprogramming. D．Comprehending spoken commands. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知，多模态AI模型的优势在于它们使机器人能够理解口头命令。 3．What causes the new models to be more reliable? A．Their logic reasoning. B．Their debugging ability. C．Their reality-based perception. D．Their detailed observation. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段的“The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.”可知，新模型感知事物的方式是基于对世界的观察，所以不太可能编造事实，会更可靠。 4．What does the author think of robots in an aging society? A．They benefit the elderly most. B．They contribute to social harmony. C．They speed technological innovation. D．They sustain labour productivity. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly.Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later.”可知，作者认为在老龄化社会中，机器人有助于维持劳动生产力。 (二)完形填空 Automation (自动化) certainly has its advantages I am __5__ for 24 hour ATMs and a cellphone with various services.__6__ I also miss the talks with people that automation has replaced.

Too much dependence on AI weakens our learning capacity.For example, a student who turns to AI for help each time he is assigned to a composition tends to fail to complete a paper in his exam. Therefore, AI should be considered as a tool for consultation if necessary.It can't and won't replace wisdom of human brain. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
