The new tastes of Gencration Z-young people born after 1995-are well represented on Bilibili.In the recent New Year's Evo gala presented by Bilibili,it attracted moro than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colorful set of programs ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoon.The same is also true of movie industry.Last year,for the first time,the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films while tho ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent. Generation Z eew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions.With the development of the Chinese Internet industry,they bave more access to diverse international information and culture,which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture.Apart from taking pride in China's rapid development,this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country."Profes or Zhang Yiwu said.He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and S0s generation is more of a challenge againsi real life and local culture.Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age-they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand.This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.

Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment.Robin explains medical procedures to them,plays games and tells stories,and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of.pain.The robot uses AI to understand other people's feelings, remembering facial oxpressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions.In trials at the Wigmoro Medical (UK)Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan,Armenia,the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26%in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once. Healthcare robots could all benefit from displaying emotional intelligence,both recognizing and responding to human emotions,and to some extent,managing them.The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations. Population trends suggest that tho demand for robots to work aiongside people in care situations will grow over time.By 2050,the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion(17%),roughty twice the proportion of what it is today.An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots. Today's simple systems are being trained to meet that demand.This includes a little wheeled robot that can guess how you are feeling from the way you walk,and the robot from the University of Lincoln in the UK-who helps elderly people to stay physically and mentally active. The impact of social robots on our lives to date has been tiny.But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough.Human emotions are difficult to define,but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine. 12.What are social robots uniquely capable of? A.Playing songs for blind people on their request. B.Comforting mentally ill teens during treatment. C.Lifting heavy packages upstairs for weak people. D.Cooking delicious dishes for the disabled at home. 13.What aspect about Robin is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2? A.Robin's practical application. B.Robin's success in passing tests.

D.By analyzing causes. 15.As for the application of social robots,which of the following will the author agree with A.It is already happening throughout UK. B.It is an unstoppable and beneficial trend. C.Humans need to work hard to secure jobs. D.Social Robots can only meet basic human needs. 418 第二节七选五（共5小题：每小愿2.5分，湖分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项， Scienco shows that stretching (is os :cntinl after exercise.Stretching lengthens and mobilizes tho connoivo tissuo around your musclo.Whet's more,stretching helps your blood ow End even relioves your stos·_16, You could fel slck.You won't be surprised to know that when you exercise,you raise your heart rate for a period ot timo.Whilo it's great o get that blood flowing,it's just as important to get your beart rate back to a norma]levol after the workout is over.17As your beart is beating fadter and your body tomperatuo is highor,you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast.Stretching after physical activity allowsa gdual decrease at the end of the episode.
