Dr.Helen Lee,a psychologist at Stanford University,wams that"while these robots can mimic empathy, they cannot tuly feel it.Over time,users might mistake programmed responses for genuine care,leading to unrealistic expectations of real human relationships."A study published in the Joumal ofSocial Robotics found that elderly participants who used social robots for three months reported lower levels of loneliness,but also showed a slight decrease in their willingness to initiate face-to-face interactions with family members. Despite these concems,the market for social robots is growing rapidly.According to a 2023 report,global sales are expected to reach $30 billion by 2030.Companies like Sony and SoftBank have already launched products such as Aibo and Pepper,which are marketed as companions for children and seniors alike.The key challenge,according to engineers,lies in making these robots more adaptable to unpredictable human behavior.Current models can only handle a limited set of scenarios,and any deviation often causes the robot to freeze or give an irrelevant response. The debate over social robots touches on a fundamental question:can technology truly replace human connection?While robots can offer convenience and assistance,they lack the emotional depth that comes from shared experiences and mutual understanding.As Dr.Lee puts it,"Technology should be a bridge, not a substitute." ()1.What is the main purpose of social robots like Kuri? A.To perform industrial tasks. B.To provide emotional support to lonely people. C.To replace family members in daily life D.To help with medical treatments. ()2.What concern does Dr.Helen Lee raise about social robots? A.They are too expensive for most people. B.They might reduce users'desire for real human contact. C.They can cause physical harm to the elderly D.They are not intelligent enough to hold conversations. ()3.The word"mimic"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A.imitate B.improve C.create D.understand ()4.What does the 2023 report indicate about the social robot market? A.It is shiinking due to safety concemns. B.It is growing significantly in the coming years. C.It is dominated by only two companies. D.It faces serious technical limitations. ()5.What is the author's attitude toward social robots? A.Fully supportive. B.Strongly opposed C.Objective but cautious. D.Completely indifferent. Passage 2 The development of autonomous vehicles (AVs)has been one of the most debated topics in modern technology.Proponents argue that self-driving cars will drastically reduce traffic accidents,as human error is responsible for over 90%of crashes.Companies like Waymo and Tesla have invested billions in refining their systems,which rely on a combination of sensors,cameras,and machine learning algorithms to navigate roads safely. Yet,the road to full autonomy is bumpy.In 2023,a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)revealed that AVs were involved in 400 crashes over a two-year period,though most were minor.More concerning is the "moral dilemma"problem:how should an AV prioritize lives in an unavoidable accident?Should it protect its passengers at all costs,or minimize overall casualties,even if that means sacrificing the driver?This question has sparked heated ethical debates among engineers, philosophers,and policymakers. Another challenge is public acceptance.A 2024 survey found that only 38%ofAmericans would feel comfortable riding in a fully self-driving car.Many people wony about the vehicle's ability to handle unusual situations,such as severe weather,construction zones,or erratic pedestrians.Moreover,the cost ofAV technology remains high-current models can add $20,000 to $50,000 to the price of a car making them inaccessible to most households. Despite these hurdles,the potential benefits are hard to ignore.Self-driving cars could provide mobility for the elderly and disabled,reduce traffic congestion,and lower fuel consumption through efficient driving pattems.Some cities have already started pilot programs for AV taxis,with limited success.As the technology matures,the key will be striking a balance between innovation and safety,ensuring that the transition to autonomous driving does not come at the cost of human lives or trust. ()1.According to the passage,what is the main cause of traffic accidents? A.Machine failure. B.Human mistakes C.Bad weather. D.Poor road conditions ()2.The "moral dilemma"problem mentioned in paragraph 2 refers to A.how to make AVs affordable for everyone B.how to decide who to protect in an unavoidable crash C.how to train AVs to recognize traffic signs D.how to reduce the number of sensors in AVs ()3.What does the 2024 survey reveal about Americans'attitude toward AVs? A.The majority support them. B.A minority feel safe using them. C.They are completely opposed. D.They have no opinion. ()4.The word "erratic"in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to A.predictable B.fast C.unpredictable D.careful ()5.What can be inferred about the future of autonomous vehicles? A.They will replace all human drivers within five years. B.They remain controversial but have great potential. C.They are already completely safe and reliable. D.They have failed to attract any investment. 二、完形填空 When 15-year-old Emily received a robot dog named "Sparky"for her birthday,she was initially 1."It looked so real,"she said."But I wondered if it could really be a 2."Over the next few weeks,however, Emily's attitude changed.Sparky could respond to her voice,fetch toys,and even wag its tail when she came home."It's not like a real dog,"she admitted,"but it does make me feel less 3." Her mother,Mrs.Chen,had bought Sparky after reading about how robot pets could help children with anxiety."Emily had been struggling since her best fiiend moved away,"Mrs.Chen explained."I hoped it would give her some 4."And it did-Emily started spending more time with Sparky,teaching it new tricks and even taking it for walks (on a leash,of course)."It's 5.to see her smile again,"her mother added. But not everyone was enthusiastic.Emily's grandmother,who had grown up with a real dog,6.about the robot."It can't truly love you,"she said."You can't replace real 7.with a machine."Emily listened but didn't agree."Sparky may not have feelings,"she said,"but it's always there when I need it.That's what 8." Psychologists have mixed opinions.Dr.Kim,who studies human-robot interaction,says robot pets can be beneficial for people who cannot care for a living animal."They provide companionship without the 9.of feeding,walking,or cleaning,"he notes.However,he also warns that over-reliance on robots might prevent people from developing real social skills."It's a 10.situation,"he says."We need to use technology wisely,not let it replace what makes us human." 1.A.disappointed B.excited C.skeptical D.bored 2.A.gift B.fiiend C.toy D.machine 3.A.lonely B.happy C.worried D.tired 4.A.confidence B.comfort C.courage D.money 5.A.surprising B.worrying C.wonderful D.strange 6.A.complained B.asked C.thought D.cared 7.A.technology B.connection C.intelligence D.power 8.A.matters B.works C.changes D.grows 9.A.fun B.cost C.challenges D.advantages 10.A.perfect B.simple C.balanced D.dangerous 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences. The rise of wearable technology,such as smartwatches and fitness trackers,has revolutionized the way we monitor our health.These devices can track heart rate,sleep patterns,steps taken,and even blood oxygen levels.For many users,the data provides motivation to exercise more and adopt healthier habits. However,there is a growing concern that this constant monitoring may lead to anxiety,especially when the numbers do not meet expectations. A study conducted by the University of Califomia found that participants who used fitness trackers for six months reported a 20%increase in physical activity.Yet,approximately 15%of them also experienced heightened anxiety related to their health data."They would check their devices dozens of times a day, and if a number was off,they would panic,"said lead researcher Dr.Amanda Torres."Some even developed symptoms similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder."This phenomenon has been dubbed "wearable anxiety." Doctors recommend a balanced approach.Instead of obsessing over every metric,users should view the data as a general guide."These devices are tools,not judges,"says Dr.Torres."The goal is to improve your well-being,not to achieve perfect numbers every day."She advises setting realistic goals and taking breaks from the devices occasionally to reconnect with how you actually feel,rather than what a screen tells you. 1.What is the main benefit of wearable technology according to the passage? 2.What negative effect did some participants experience after using fitness trackers? 3.What does the term "wearable anxiety"refer to? 4.According to Dr.Torres,how should people use these devices? 5.What advice does Dr.Torres give to prevent over-reliance on wearable devices? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In today's fast-paced world,being able to adapt is crucial.Companies are looking for employees who are 1. in their thinking and can handle 2. tasks.Those who 3 strong problem-solving skills are often more successful.For example,a recent graduate named Li Wei impressed his manager by 4._ to a crisis without 5."He stayed calm and found a solution quickly,"his boss said."It was truly 6. ” However,not everyone reacts so 7. to challenges.Some people 8. about difficulties instead of taking action.To grow both personally and professionally,it is important to develop a 9. attitude.Learning to accept feedback can also help you 10. more opportunities.In short,the ones who succeed are those who embrace change,not those who avoid it. 2. 3. 4. 5. 7. 8. 9. 10. 五、写作 随着科技的发展，越来越多的智能设备（如机器人、虚拟助手、智能家居)进入人们的日常生 活。有人认为它们让生活更便利，有人则担心它们会削弱人与人之间的真实联系。请写一篇短 文，阐述你的观点，并说明理由。 要求： 1.词数120-150； 2.内容完整，逻辑清晰： 3.可适当举例。 Smart Devices:Help or Hindrance? In recent years,smart devices have become an integral part of our daily lives,from robot assistants to intelligent home systems.In my opinion,while they bring remarkable convenience,we must not let them weaken our human bonds. On the one hand,smart devices save us time and effort.For example,a robot vacuum cleaner can clean the floor while we work,and voice assistants can help us manage schedules.Such tools free up our time for more meaningful activities. On the other hand,over-reliance on technology can harm our social skills.If we communicate more with machines than with people,we may lose the ability to build deep emotional connections.A teenager who spends hours talking to a smart speaker instead of family members may feel lonelier in the long run Therefore,I believe we should use smart devices wisely.Technology should serve as a tool,not a replacement for genuine human interaction.We need to find a balance between embracing innovation and preserving what makes us tuly human. 参考答案 Passage 1:1.B2.B 3.A 4.B 5.C 阅读理解 Passage 2:1.B 2.B 3.B4.C 5.B 二、 完形填空1.C,2.B,3.A;4.B,5.C,6.A,7.B,8.A;9.C,10.C 1.It can motivate people to exercise more and adopt healthier habits 2.They experienced heightened anxiety (or "wearable anxiety")due to constant 三、阅读短文monitoring of health data. 回答问题 3.The anxiety caused by constantly checking health data from wearable devices. 4.They should view the data as a general guide,not as a judge. 5.Set realistic goals and take breaks from the devices occasionally 1.flexible 2.demanding 3.possess 4.responding 5.hesitation 6.impressive 7. 四、短文填空 enthusiastically 8.complain 9.mature 10.attract 五、写作 范文： Smart Devices:Help or Hindrance?
