(2017·湖北黄冈中学)A Japanese telecom company has designed a robot that it says has emotions(情绪). But rather than run in fear from it, we've welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the “emotional robot”， sold out within a minute of going on sale.
Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBank, Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan June 20. It is “the first humanoid(类人的) robot designed to live with humans，” Aldebaran says on its website. Pepper costs about $1，600. And like all good mobile products, there's a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. According to a news report, Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create his own using a “multi－layer neural(神经的) network.” Pepper's touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood, which is displayed(展示) on the tablet－sized screen on its chest.
Pepper will sigh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your family's daily activity. Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness”， but it doesn't say how strongly it can feel these emotions. What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it like manyhumans, become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone? What happens if it knows that its purpose in life is just to take part in small talk? Thankfully, Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owners, you'll be safe if you can make it upstairs.
Aldebaran says in reality, they're probably quite a few years away from artificial intelligence that could create real emotions. Aldebaran wasn't immediately able to tell when Pepper will be available(可得的) out of Japan, but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1，000 units sell out. Soft Bank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future. Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel.
5. According to the author, Pepper ________．
A. is very popular among customers
B. can not only run but also show fear
C. is going to be sold all over the world
D. can deal with many kinds of housework
6. How much do you need to pay for Pepper's data and damage insurance fee each year?
A. 80 dollars.
B. 120 dollars.
C. 1，440 dollars.
D. 2，400 dollars.
7. Pepper's height and roller balls are mentioned to ________．
A. introduce its appearance
B. tell Pepper won't get angry
C. show that safety isn't a big issue
D. explain robots have strong emotions
8. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Pepper cannot produce real emotions.
B. Pepper can feel joy, surprise and boredom.
C. Pepper will be sold in other countries next year.
D. Pepper is being used as waiters in some restaurants.
答案与解析
【文章大意】本文介绍日本一家电信公司发布了第一台“情感机器人”，阐述了情感机器人的使用费用、功能、未来的前景。

5. 答案 A
解析细节理解题。

根据第一段“But rather than run in fear from it, we've welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the ‘emotional robot’， sold out within a minute of going on sale.”可知，Pepper非常受欢迎，在几分钟之内就卖完了。

6. 答案 D
解析数字计算题。

根据第二段内容there's a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. 可知，每年用于Pepper的data and damage insurance fee为(120＋80)×12＝2 400。

7. 答案 C
解析推理判断题。

根据文章第三段“Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owners, you'll be safe if you can make it upstairs”介绍Pepper的height and roller balls是为了表明安全不是大问题。

8. 答案 A
解析推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段“Aldebaran says in reality, they're probably quite a few years away from artificial intelligence that could create real emotions.”可推断Pepper现在是不能产生真正的情感的。

Ⅱ. 七选五
(2017·浙江高三模拟)
It's Time to Put It Away
Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it. Don't be addicted to it. Put your phone away, OK?
1. Cyber Sickness
Also called “digital motion sickness”，symptoms that range from headaches to woozy feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action －packed videos on your screen. __1__ Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don't agree, that's when you feel dizziness and sickness.
2. Text Claw
It is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction felt in the fingers, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use. __2__ So if you're always on your phone, it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.
3. Eye Strain(疲劳)
Do you stare at a screen for hours on end? If you're doing this, you very well might suffer eye strain. __3__ Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes, headaches and tiredness, which can decrease your productivity. Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.
4. Text Neck
Similar to the claw, text neck—discomfort in the neck and spine—happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone. __4__ Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you're on your phone—and bending it back to an upright position—can help reduce the risk of text neck.
5. Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking. While focused on the cyber world, many of us can lose reality of the physical one. Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology, and the risks are scary. __5__
A. We should take breaks for a while.
B. The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs.
C. Remember that pedestrian safety is more important than smart phone.
D. The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age.
E. To avoid injury or worse, put your phone away until you've reached a safe spot.
F. Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the tendons(筋) and muscles when done repeatedly.
G. Any activity that requires active use of your eyes—driving and reading included —can cause eye tiredness.
答案与解析
【文章大意】智能手机等电子产品在给我们带来方便的同时，也给我们带来了很多危害。

本文介绍了常玩手机的危害及解决建议。

1. 答案 B
解析根据空后的关键词sense和inputs可知，此处应与“感官输入”有关。

B项(这种感觉是由不同感官输入的不匹配引起的。

) 符合语境。

2. 答案 F
解析根据设空前的“for soreness and muscle contraction”及“after heavy smart phone use”可知，本段主要讲述过度使用手机会带来肌肉等方面的疼痛，与F项的pain in the tendons(筋) and muscles when done repeatedly相对应。

3. 答案G
解析根据本段段落标题Eye Strain可知，本段主要讲述过度使用电子产品对眼部造成的危害。

由此可锁定G项，G项中的eyes及eye tiredness与之对应。

4. 答案 D
解析根据设空前的“in the neck and spine”及空后的“neck bends”可知选D项(这个习惯可能会导致人们在年轻时就需要脊柱治疗了。

), D项中的The habit指“you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone”。

5. 答案 E
解析根据本段的中心词safety及设空前介绍行人过马路看手机的危害可知，E项(为避免受伤或是更坏的结果，在抵达安全的场所之前，要把手机收起来) 符合语境。

Ⅲ. 书面表达
(2017·莆田第二十五中学)近年来，人们对中国传统节日的关注程度日益下降，而洋节日却越来越受到人们的追捧。

Nowadays,_western_festivals_such_as_Christmas_and_Valentine's_Day_are_becom ing_more_and_more_popular_in_China._Whether_we_Chinese_should_celebrate_these_festi vals_has_r aised_a_heated_discussion.
Some believe that celebrating western festivals is a sign of globalization, which helps to take in various foreign cultures and improve cross－culture communication. Besides, some western festivals, such as Mother's Day and Thanksgiving Day, are instructive.
However, others believe that the popularity of the western festivals in China is the result of the foreign cultural invasion. For example, Christmas has strong religious colors. What's more, young people may lose their interest in our traditional Chinese festivals like Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb－sweeping Day, etc.
As far as I am concerned, we should value our traditional festivals, which have been an essential part of the Chinese culture. Meanwhile, we can have a taste of the western festivals just for fun.。
