With the development of science, more and more robots come into our life. 1 But robot scientists say that one-year-old human babies can do better than robots in something. Let’s take a look.
Pick things up
If we drop our pencil on the floor, first, we must find the pencil and look at its distance (距离). Then we move our hands to it. A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. 2 So, if a robot wants to pick up a pencil on the floor, it will probably roll it around the room.
Understand the world made by people
“Common sense” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we pick up a coffee cup by its handle (把手), we feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot.
3 It may hold the hot part of the cup. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules. But it doesn’t help much. There are just too many rules and too many exceptions (例外). Maybe they need more time to learn these rules.
Get around in our world
If someone drops you in a building you’ve never been to, you might feel a bit lost. But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. 4 Because it’s difficult for them to understand spaces. Scientists need to train them a lot to learn this.
Learning from gestures (手势动作)
When a parent points to a toy, a baby will naturally look at the toy and understand that the parent is showing it to them. 5 For a robot, however, this simple act of “pointing” is very difficult to understand. It may just look at the finger itself, without knowing that it should look at where the finger is pointing.
It’s still a long way for robots to have the simple intelligence of a child.
阅读短文,把A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处,使短文内容完整。
A.A robot may turn the cup upside down.
B.Robots cannot easily understand this either.
C.They can help us greatly in many different ways.
D.It is a natural form of communication that does not need words.
E.But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even the ceilings (天花板) and floors.

Making our planet better is a goal we can all work toward. But where do we start? 1 Here are some easy tips to help you get started.
2 Instead of buying new things, try to reuse what you have. For example, use a reusable water bottle instead of plastic ones, and use cloth bags instead of plastic shopping bags.
Second, eat more plant-based foods. Raising animals for food uses a lot of water and energy. 3 It can also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Third, learn about environmental issues. Read books, watch documentaries or take part in school activities to learn more about climate change, pollution and other problems. 4
Finally, speak up. Tell your friends and family about the importance of protecting the environment. Encourage them to join you in taking action. 5 Together, we can make a difference.
A.First, reuse as much as possible.
B.Knowing more can help you make better choices.
C.Many people feel unsure about how to begin.
D.Eating more fruits and vegetables is good for your health, too.
E.Your voice can inspire others to do the same.

Test with the People Who Will Use It
A student team may believe its app is easy because every member knows where the buttons are and why they were added. A new user does not share that knowledge. 1 Real user testing can reveal problems that the makers have learned to walk around without noticing.
Begin by choosing people who are likely to use the product, including some with different experience or physical needs. Then give each person a realistic task: find tomorrow’s homework, change the text size or report a broken light. 2 Watching the first attempt shows which words, symbols or steps are unclear.
During the test, resist the wish to teach immediately. If the user pauses, ask what he or she expects to happen next. 3 A designer’s explanation may help one person finish, but it can also hide the part of the design that needs improvement.
Record actions rather than judging the user. “She tapped the picture three times.” is more useful than “She did not understand.” 4 Several users making the same mistake is especially strong evidence that the product, not the people, should change.
After revising the design, test it again with both earlier and new users. A change that helps beginners might slow experienced users, while larger text may create a new problem on a small screen. 5 User testing is therefore not a final examination. It is a repeated conversation between a design and the people whose lives it is meant to support.
A.That is why makers are usually poor judges of their own product’s first-use experience.
B.A precise observation allows the team to look for a precise design cause.
C.No single group or single round can show every effect of a change.
D.The pause often tells you more than a quickly completed task after a hint.
E.Do not demonstrate the correct path before the task begins.

Chat with DeepSeek AI
DeepSeek, a company set up by a group of young researchers, made a big splash (水花) with its first model, Deep-Seek-R1. This model is powerful enough and has become very popular. 1 This attracts developers from all over the world who want to see what it could do.
One of the key features of DeepSeek is its ability to understand the meanings behind the words, instead of just counting on keywords. 2 It will not only list tourist attractions but also consider the weather, local events, and your personal preferences.
Xing Jie, who is the leader of a Beijing-based bank, said, “DeepSeek has changed the way AI is spread. For the first time, China has a voice in the AI development area. And this didn’t come from a government or a big technology company. 3 ”
DeepSeek’s success has shown something. 4 Because of control from the US, DeepSeek couldn’t get high-performance GPUs. But instead of giving up, they focused on making their software wholeheartedly by using clever programming tricks to work out this problem.
“ 5 ” Xing said. “This forces Chinese companies to be creative in areas that Western companies hadn’t paid much attention to before.” In other words, the rise of DeepSeek has challenged the old belief that it needs a lot for AI breakthroughs.

When we touch something with our fingers, we can feel how warm or cold it is. 1 They are the ones who wear the prosthetic (假体的) hands. To change that, a group of scientists have developed the “MiniTouch”.
How does the “MiniTouch” work?
The “MiniTouch” can be easily paired with a prosthetic hand. People who wear prosthetic hands can then use it. The “MiniTouch” collects heat information from the index finger (食指) of the prosthetic hand. The information is then sent to the wearer’s residual limb (残肢). 2
How is the “MiniTouch” proven to work?
Fabrizio was the first person to try out the “MiniTouch”. The Italian man is 57 years old. He lost his right hand 37 years ago. In one test, the team prepared three similar bottles. They were filled with cold (12℃), cool (24℃) and hot (40℃) water. 3 And he made few mistakes. Without the “MiniTouch”, his correct score of the test was only 33%. The “MiniTouch” increased his correct score to about 75%.
4
Scientists plan to improve it to sense touch, allowing users to tell “soft and hot” or “hard and cold”. Another goal is to make the “MiniTouch” able to collect heat information from different parts of the prosthetic hand. 5 “It’s all about giving the people who wear prosthetic hands a richer and more natural sense of the world,” said Micera, one of the scientists.
A.How will the “MiniTouch” develop?
B.The Italian man could quickly tell the difference.
C.This can help them sense temperature in daily life.
D.However, there are some people in the world who can’t feel it.
E.For example, by collecting heat information from its four other fingers.

The development of robots is becoming increasingly perfect, and more types of robots are being used in many different kinds of industries. Recently, a new type of robot for the farmyard has been invented.
How do farmers usually kill weeds (杂草) in the fields? 1 The trouble is that these weedkillers (除草剂) also kill wildlife, pollute rivers and are bad for the fields. This new kind of robot can cut weedkiller use by 90%, so it can cut down chemical pollution. Lots of farmers choose the robot to work in their fields. 2
How the robot works
3 The cameras facing the ground take photos to help the robot "see" the plants it passes by. The robot compares each photo to a library of plant photos to decide which plants are weeds.
The robot' s arms move into position to give a small amount (量) of weedkiller on the weeds. So it won't do harm to wildlife or crops. 4 So it is very energy-friendly.
How the robot will develop
The scientists don't want to just stop at the achievement they have made. 5 The improved model of robots will exactly discover weeds and dig them out.
The scientists thought the robots could be programmed to leave some harmless weeds in the fields to support wildlife living there.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A.The robot is powered by the energy from the sun.
B.Several cameras are built into the robot.
C.Many of them use chemicals to kill weeds.

Using Computers & Robots to Help Farmers
A research project called Mineral his created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that arc healthy for the environment.
1 More and more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10.000 years.
Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having end how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies (小机动车)”. 2
At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. 3
The plant buggies roll on four wheels. 4 They’re covered in solar panels (太阳能面板) and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields.
5 They can even do things humans can’t, like counting all of the small buds (花蕾) on a plant. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believe computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow.
Now the Mineral team is working in countries around the world, including Argentina. South Africa, and Canada, learning how computers and robots can help farmers produce more, in ways that arc Rood for the environment.
A.They collect detailed information about crops.
B.The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, and measure the plants’ size.

When you want to go somewhere, you can easily find your way by using a map app on your smartphone. Your smartphone “knows” where you are and can tell you where to go.
This is possible with the help of satellite navigation (satnav) systems. A satnav system uses groups of satellites (卫星) to find out where people are. It sends information to a receiver, such as a smartphone. 1
On June 23, the last satellite of China’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System was launched into space. 2 It is one of four global navigation systems, along with US’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.
On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services (全面的全球服务). 3
Since 2000, China has launched 59 Beidou satellites. Beidou can be used in areas that include farming, public services and business. 4 This summer, people along the Yangtze River used Beidou-based device to monitor (监测) floodwaters in real-time with an accuracy of just a few centimeters.
5 It allows people to send text messages up to 1,200 Chinese characters in length when mobile phone services are interrupted (中断) by natural disasters.
A.The more satellites a system has, the more accurate (精确的) it is.
B.Beidou also has a unique messaging ability.
C.Beidou, China’s own satnav system, was finally completed.
D.It has a positioning (定位) accuracy of under 10 meters.
E.More than 120 countries and regions (地区) are now using Beidou services.

With the development of science, more and more robots come into our life. 1 But robot scientists say that one-year-old human babies can do better than robots in something. Let’s take a look.
Pick things up
If we drop our pencil on the floor, first, we must find the pencil and look at its distance (距离). Then we move our hands to it. A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll (滚动) a little bit. 2 So, if a robot wants to pick up a pencil on the floor, it will probably roll it around the room.
Understand the world made by people
“Common sense” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we pick up a coffee cup by its handle (把手), we feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot.
3 It may hold the hot part of the cup. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules. But it doesn’t help much. There are just too many rules and too many exceptions (例外). Maybe they need more time to learn these rules.
Get around in our world
If someone drops you in a building you’ve never been to, you might feel a bit lost. But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. 4 Because it’s difficult for them to understand spaces. Scientists need to train them a lot to learn this.
Learning from gestures (手势动作)
When a parent points to a toy, a baby will naturally look at the toy and understand that the parent is showing it to them. 5 For a robot, however, this simple act of “pointing” is very difficult to understand. It may just look at the finger itself, without knowing that it should look at where the finger is pointing.
It’s still a long way for robots to have the simple intelligence of a child.
阅读短文,把A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处,使短文内容完整。
A.A robot may turn the cup upside down.
B.Robots cannot easily understand this either.
C.They can help us greatly in many different ways.
D.It is a natural form of communication that does not need words.
E.But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even the ceilings (天花板) and floors.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.E 5.D
【导语】随着科技发展,机器人走进人类生活并帮了我们很多忙,但科学家发现一岁婴儿在一些简单日常事情上反而比机器人做得更好。
【详解】1.前文“随着科技发展,越来越多机器人走进我们生活”,后文But转折:但是机器人科学家说一岁人类婴儿有些方面比机器人做得更好。C 句“它们能在很多不同方面极大帮助我们”承接上文,形成前后转折逻辑。
2.本段主题:拾取物品。前文讲人捡起铅笔时,如果铅笔滚动,我们可以灵活应对;后文说机器人会把铅笔滚得满屋都是。B 句“机器人也无法轻易理解这件事”承上启下,说明机器人不具备这种能力。
3.本段主题:理解人类世界的常识。后文提到它可能会握住杯子烫的部分。A选项“机器人可能会把杯子倒扣过来”,举例说明机器人缺少生活常识,和后文内容一致。
4.本段主题:在环境中移动。前文说人进入陌生大楼,可以快速找到门出去;后文解释机器人很难理解空间。E句“但是机器人会到处寻找门,甚至查看天花板和地面”,对比人和机器人的差别。
5.本段主题:理解手势动作。前文说父母指向玩具,婴儿会自然看向玩具。D句“这是一种不需要语言的自然交流方式”,对前面“用手指东西”这个手势进行解释;后文however 转折,讲机器人很难理解这个动作。

Test with the People Who Will Use It
A student team may believe its app is easy because every member knows where the buttons are and why they were added. A new user does not share that knowledge. 1 Real user testing can reveal problems that the makers have learned to walk around without noticing.
Begin by choosing people who are likely to use the product, including some with different experience or physical needs. Then give each person a realistic task: find tomorrow’s homework, change the text size or report a broken light. 2 Watching the first attempt shows which words, symbols or steps are unclear.
During the test, resist the wish to teach immediately. If the user pauses, ask what he or she expects to happen next. 3 A designer’s explanation may help one person finish, but it can also hide the part of the design that needs improvement.
Record actions rather than judging the user. “She tapped the picture three times.” is more useful than “She did not understand.” 4 Several users making the same mistake is especially strong evidence that the product, not the people, should change.
After revising the design, test it again with both earlier and new users. A change that helps beginners might slow experienced users, while larger text may create a new problem on a small screen. 5 User testing is therefore not a final examination. It is a repeated conversation between a design and the people whose lives it is meant to support.
A.That is why makers are usually poor judges of their own product’s first-use experience.
B.A precise observation allows the team to look for a precise design cause.
C.No single group or single round can show every effect of a change.
D.The pause often tells you more than a quickly completed task after a hint.
E.Do not demonstrate the correct path before the task begins.
【答案】1.A 2.E 3.D 4.B 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在产品设计过程中,如何通过让真实用户进行测试来发现并改进设计问题,强调了用户测试的重要性和具体操作方法。
【详解】1.前文提到新用户并不共享那些知识,后文提到真实的用户测试可以揭示制造者已经学会绕过而未注意到的问题。选项A“That is why makers are usually poor judges of their own product’s first-use experience.”承接上文解释原因。
2.本段讲如何进行用户测试。前文说“给每个用户一个现实的任务”,后文说“观察第一次尝试能显示哪些词、符号或步骤不清楚”。E项“Do not demonstrate the correct path before the task begins.”与前后文衔接自然,点明了测试中应避免的行为。
3.本段讲测试中不要急于指导。前文说“如果用户停顿,问他们期望接下来发生什么”,后文说“设计者的解释可能帮助一个人完成任务,但也可能掩盖需要改进的设计部分”。D项“The pause often tells you more than a quickly completed task after a hint.”与前后文逻辑一致,点明了停顿的价值。
4.本段讲记录行为而非评判用户。前文说“记录动作比评判用户更有用”,后文说“多个用户犯同样的错误是产品需要改进的有力证据”。B项“A precise observation allows the team to look for a precise design cause.”与前后文逻辑一致,点明了精确记录的作用。
5.本段讲反复测试。前文说“一个变化可能帮助新手但拖慢老用户,大号文字可能在窄屏上产生新问题”,后文说“用户测试不是最终考试,而是设计与用户之间的反复对话”。C项“No single group or single round can show every effect of a change.”与前后文逻辑一致,点明了反复测试的必要性。

When we touch something with our fingers, we can feel how warm or cold it is. 1 They are the ones who wear the prosthetic (假体的) hands. To change that, a group of scientists have developed the “MiniTouch”.
How does the “MiniTouch” work?
The “MiniTouch” can be easily paired with a prosthetic hand. People who wear prosthetic hands can then use it. The “MiniTouch” collects heat information from the index finger (食指) of the prosthetic hand. The information is then sent to the wearer’s residual limb (残肢). 2
How is the “MiniTouch” proven to work?
Fabrizio was the first person to try out the “MiniTouch”. The Italian man is 57 years old. He lost his right hand 37 years ago. In one test, the team prepared three similar bottles. They were filled with cold (12℃), cool (24℃) and hot (40℃) water. 3 And he made few mistakes. Without the “MiniTouch”, his correct score of the test was only 33%. The “MiniTouch” increased his correct score to about 75%.
4
Scientists plan to improve it to sense touch, allowing users to tell “soft and hot” or “hard and cold”. Another goal is to make the “MiniTouch” able to collect heat information from different parts of the prosthetic hand. 5 “It’s all about giving the people who wear prosthetic hands a richer and more natural sense of the world,” said Micera, one of the scientists.
A.How will the “MiniTouch” develop?
B.The Italian man could quickly tell the difference.
C.This can help them sense temperature in daily life.
D.However, there are some people in the world who can’t feel it.
E.For example, by collecting heat information from its four other fingers.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“MiniTouch”的新技术,它能够帮助佩戴假肢的人感知温度,文中阐述了其工作原理、实验验证结果以及未来的改进计划。
【详解】1.根据文章第1段“When we touch something with our fingers, we can feel how warm or cold it is.”以及后文“They are the ones who wear the prosthetic hands.”可知,此处需要表示转折,说明有些人无法感知温度,与常人形成对比。D项“However, there are some people in the world who can’t feel it.”用However表转折,引出失去手部感知能力的人,上下文逻辑通顺。
2.根据文章第2段“The information is then sent to the wearer’s residual limb.”可知,该技术将温度信息传递给残肢,目的是帮助使用者感知温度,选项C “This can help them sense temperature in daily life.”符合这一功能描述。
3.根据文章第3段“They were filled with cold (12℃), cool (24℃) and hot (40℃) water.”以及后文“And he made few mistakes.”可推知结论,此处应描述测试者Fabrizio在实验中的表现,即他能区分温度。B选项“The Italian man could quickly tell the difference”对应前文意大利测试者Fabrizio,体现他能快速区分水温差异,与后文少出错形成顺承。
4.根据文章第4段“Scientists plan to improve it to sense touch, allowing users to tell ‘soft and hot’ or ‘hard and cold’.”可知,本段主要讲述科学家对该技术的未来改进计划,选项A“How will the ‘MiniTouch’ develop?”作为小标题概括了本段内容。
5.根据文章第4段“Another goal is to make the ‘MiniTouch’ able to collect heat information from different parts of the prosthetic hand.”可知,此处需要对“不同部位”进行举例说明,选项E“For example, by collecting heat information from its four other fingers.”提到了其他四根手指,符合语境。

The development of robots is becoming increasingly perfect, and more types of robots are being used in many different kinds of industries. Recently, a new type of robot for the farmyard has been invented.
How do farmers usually kill weeds (杂草) in the fields? 1 The trouble is that these weedkillers (除草剂) also kill wildlife, pollute rivers and are bad for the fields. This new kind of robot can cut weedkiller use by 90%, so it can cut down chemical pollution. Lots of farmers choose the robot to work in their fields. 2
How the robot works
3 The cameras facing the ground take photos to help the robot "see" the plants it passes by. The robot compares each photo to a library of plant photos to decide which plants are weeds.
The robot' s arms move into position to give a small amount (量) of weedkiller on the weeds. So it won't do harm to wildlife or crops. 4 So it is very energy-friendly.
How the robot will develop
The scientists don't want to just stop at the achievement they have made. 5 The improved model of robots will exactly discover weeds and dig them out.
The scientists thought the robots could be programmed to leave some harmless weeds in the fields to support wildlife living there.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A.The robot is powered by the energy from the sun.
B.Several cameras are built into the robot.
