AA highly human-like robot was introduced to the world last week by researchers from the University of Science and Technology in China (USTC). The female(女性) robot ,with the name of Jia Jia, has natural facial(面部的) expressions and can communicate with nearby people with simple languages.For example , if Jia Jia finds that someone is taking a photo of her, she’ll warn the person to stand back or the picture will make her face “look fat”. Jia Jia can’t do more than that.. She can’t laugh or cry like people. Her hands are also lifeless. However, she can speak really politely. If you say “Hello”, she is sure to answer, “Yes, my lord. What can I do for you?”We’ve seen a few other highly human-like female robots recently. A few weeks ago a 42-year-old designer from Hong Kong introduced “Mark 1,” a $50,000 female robot he built himself. He spent a year and a half to complete the robot in order to make his childhood dream come true. Like Jia Jia, Mark 1 can have simple communications and movements. Wha t’s more, Mark 1 can also move its arms and legs, turn its head, bow, smile and so on.Last year, researchers at the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University in Japan and Shanghai Shenqing Industry in China introduced Yangyang, a robot that looks like Sarah Palin. Yangyang also seems to do more than Jia Jia with its abilities to hug and shake hands.It took the researchers three years to develop Jia Jia, and they aren’t done yet. Team leader Chen Xiaoping says he hopes to develop and perfect their invention. Chen hopes Jia Jia will become an intelligence “robot goddess.”( )46 What can’t Jia Jia do?A. Communicate with people around with easy languages.B. Laugh or cry as common people doC. Tell people to stand back to take a photo of her( )47 Which robot was first introduced to the world?A. Jia JiaB. Mark 1C. Yangyang( )48 Why did the designer from Hong Kong build Mark 1?A. To sell the robot to get $50,000.B. To achieve his childhood dream.C. To communicate with the robot.( )49 Which of the following is TRUE?A. Yangyang has the ability to hug and shake hands.B. Mark 1 can’t turn its head, smile, bow and so on.C. Jia Jia was invented in USTC in Japan.( )50 From the last paragraph, we can infer that______________.A. The USTC researchers really love their job of making the robot--- Jia Jia.B. Jia Jia has become an intelligence “robot goddess” since last week.C. Chen Xiaoping thinks that Jia Jia is a well-developed and perfect inventionWe can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We can’t send tastes, smells or touches. But some scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smartphones to do that.To give users a sense of taste, Adrian David Cheok and some other scientists made two electrodes(电极) . “ You put these two electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then your tongue will get a sense of taste in your brain,” said Professor Cheok. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.A device(装置) called “ Scentee” permits users to have the sense of smell. Scientists put a Scentee into a smartphone, and it can send out small clouds of fragrance, including that of flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can make the device start working. The Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the smells run out.The sense of touch comes from a ring-like device. It is connected to a smartphone. “ I can be in London and my friend can be in Tokyo, and I can squeeze(挤压) my finger and then they’ll get a squeeze on their finger through the Internet. It’s a way of touch communication with small mobile devices,” Professor Cheok said. Professor Cheok hopes devices like these will someday be added to houses. He says they may change the future of long-distance communication.( ) 51.
