Ⅰ.阅读理解A、B篇(共7小题;每小题2.5分,满分17.5分)
A
Best Humanoid Robots: Exploring the Cutting Edge
AMECA—ENGINEERED ARTS
When judged by its realism and ability to interact socially, Ameca is the clear leader. Known for incredibly lifelike facial expressions, Ameca is designed for human engagement, not for heavy lifting. It's ideal for customer-facing roles in museums, at events, or in research—but lacks mobility and autonomous operation for now.
Strengths: Best expressive and conversational capabilities for a humanoid.
Weaknesses: Not mobile; primarily designed for interaction and R&D.
ELECTRIC ATLAS—BOSTON DYNAMICS
The newly redesigned Atlas is now fully electric and is preparing for real-world deployment in Hyundai's production lines. With decades of robotics R&D behind it, Boston Dynamics brings unmatched mechanical mobility and dynamic movement to Atlas, although its autonomy and manipulation(操作) skills still fall behind in some areas.
Strengths: Excellent motion and balance, backed by deep engineering expertise.
Weaknesses: Limited production capacity, manipulation tasks are still under development.
DIGIT—AGILITY ROBOTICS
Digit by Agility Robotics is built with logistics(物流) and warehouse use in mind. It has already been deployed in real-world scenarios for package handling and basic warehouse tasks. Amazon is reportedly testing Digit for delivery and distribution center assistance.
Strengths: Functional and multi-purpose for logistics applications.
Weaknesses: Less “human-like” in appearance; designed with limited capacity for social interaction.
TIEN KUNG ULTRA—NOETIX
Noetix made waves when its “Tien Kung Ultra” robot completed a humanoid half-marathon, showcasing durability and mechanical refinement. This 1.75 m/45 kg robot excels in an extreme environment, with potential applications in disaster response and space exploration.
Strengths: Capable of large-scale production, innovative in its dexterity(机敏).
Weaknesses: Limited deployment in Western markets; its level of autonomy is unclear.
1.What makes Ameca stand out?
A.Distribution assistance. B.Environmental adaptation.
C.Social engagement. D.Mechanical mobility.
2.What do we know about Digit by agility Robotics?
A.It has been widely used for delivery services.
B.It needs improvement in human-likeness.
C.It is designed for use on all occasions.
D.It is noted for its lightness and balance.
3.Which robot has been entered for a sports event?
A.Tien Kung Ultra. B.Electric Atlas.
C.Digit. D.Ameca.
B
Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who started coding at the age of 7, is one of the 2024 winners of the Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users' hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language(ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL.
The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn't in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs into English in real-time—acting as “a Translate for visual languages”.
“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between the two communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn't deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that's in their pocket.”
As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended a company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference(WWDC) in June and met the tech company's CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and achieve even more.”
The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible(实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the potential for high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared.
4.What is Finger Dance?
A.A machine learning device.
B.A real-time translation tool.
C.An app designed to assist with learning ASL.
D.A program aimed specifically for the deaf.
5.Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities?
A.To win a series of technological contests.
B.To meet Tim Cook at the WWDC in person.
C.To create scientific innovation projects by coding.
D.To connect the two communities using technology.
6.What can be inferred about Eashwar from the text?
A.He prefers developing apps for deaf people.
B.He is talented for American Sign Language.
C.He has a strong sense of social responsibility.
D.He is eager to become famous like Tim Cook.
7.What message is the text meant to convey?
A.Technology serves society. B.Coding is everything.
C.Knowledge changes destiny. D.Practice makes perfect.
Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Music has long been recognized for its role in healing(康复), and with artificial intelligence, this potential becomes more accessible. Li Xiaonuo from Shanghai Conservatory of Music talked about this at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. __8__
One standout was the AI music device, shown for the first time by Shanghai Conservatory of Music. It offers a peaceful and personalized healing experience through advanced technology. Users first wear devices like EEG headsets and HRV sensors. ____9__ And music featuring natural sounds envelops them, providing a peaceful escape from the outside world.
The experience begins with a personalized questionnaire to collect individual data. __10__ The information enables an AI model to create a multisensory experience with matching visuals. Afterward, users receive a detailed report and a personalized music prescription(处方). “The system improves attention, helps with relaxation and keeps heart rate steady,” Li explains.
Li also says the device combines technology and art. __11__ Research on converting brainwaves into sound began in the late 20th century, but AI now allows quick analysis of personal traits and real-time sound generation. “Interpreting people's responses to sound requires advanced cognitive processing,” Li notes, “and AI is capable of handling the vast amount of data necessary for this.”
Experts point out three key breakthroughs of the device: a music-matching algorithm(算法) based on body data, dynamic personal plans, and combining different fields. __12__ It is being tested in hospitals to help autistic(自闭症) children, ease pain and assist students with exam-related anxiety.
A.The conference showcased how AI is changing healthcare.
B.Then they lie in special chairs and see their body data on a screen.
C.Users provide details about their health status, birth date and so on.
D.The device has shown good results for sleep disorders and depression.
E.The innovation aims to bring music therapy to a wider range of people.
F.It was developed after many years of research at the experimental center.
G.Such technology could change how we find and treat mental health problems.
