A
trial
project
by
the
Montreal
Children's
Hospital
suggested
that
the
use
of
medical
hypnosis
(催眠)can
reduce
pain
and
anxiety
in
patients.
The
project
also
resulted
in
a
reduction
in
the
amount
of
medicines
used
to
perform
medical-imaging(医学影像)procedures.
"During
the
examination
children
don't
move.
It
works
perfectly.
It's
amazing,"
said
Johanne
L'Ecuyer,
a
medical-imaging
technologist
at
the
hospital.
The
project
was
inspired
by
a
French
team
from
Rouen
University
Hospital
Centre
where
examinations
are
done
under
hypnosis
instead
of
general
anesthesia(麻醉).
A
French
medical-imaging
technologist—also
a
hypnotist—
was
invited
to
train
a
few
members
in
the
medical-imaging
department
of
the
children's
hospital.
In
all,
80
examinations
were
conducted
for
the
project
between
January
and
September,
2019,
focusing
on
the
imaging
procedures
that
would
cause
anxiety.
Hypnosis
is
not
a
state
of
sleep:
It
is
rather
a
modified(改变的)state
of
consciousness.
The
technologist
will
guide
the
patient
to
this
modified
state—an
imaginary
world
that
will
disassociate
itself
more
and
more
from
the
procedure
that
follows.
"The
technologist
must
build
up
a
story
with
the
patient,"
Ms.
L'Ecuyer
said.
"The
patient
is
left
with
the
power
to
choose
what
he
wants
to
talk
about
Do
you
play
sports?
Do
you
like
going
to
the
beach?
We
establish
a
subject
that
we
will
discuss
throughout
the
procedure."
Everything
that
happens
next
during
the
procedure
must
be
related
to
this
story—an
injection(注射)becomes
the
bite
of
an
insect;
the
heat
on
the
skin
becomes
the
sensation
of
the
sun
and
a
machine
that
rings
becomes
a
police
car
passing
nearby.
"The
important
thing
is
that
the
technologist
associates
what
is
happening
outside
the
patient's
body
with
what
the
patient
sees
in
his
head,"
Ms.
L'Ecuyer
said.
"It
requires
creativity
on
the
part
of
the
technologist,
imagination,
a
lot
of
patience
and
kindness."
The
procedure
appealed
to
the
staff
a
lot
when
it
was
introduced
in
January.
"It
spread
like
wildfire
that
someone
from
France
was
here
to
train
the
technologists,"
Ms.
L'Ecuyer
said.
She
added
that
she
had
a
line
of
staff
at
her
door
wanting
to
take
the
training.
1.One

二、【2021年江苏南通模拟，阅读C】
Imagine
wearing
high-tech
body
armour
that
makes
you
super
strong
and
tireless.
Such
technology,
more
specifically
called
an
exoskeleton,
sounds
like
the
preserve
of
the
Iron
Man
series
of
superhero
movies.
Yet
the
equipment
is
increasingly
being
worn
in
real
life
around
the
world.
And
one
manufacturer---California’s
SuitX---expects
it
to
go
mainstream.”
There
is
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
these
devices
will
eventually
be
sold
at
hardware
stores,”
says
SuitX’s
founder
Homayoon
Kazerooni.
In
simple
explanation,
an
exoskeleton
is
an
external
device
that
supports,
covers
and
protects
its
user,
giving
greater
levels
of
strength
and
endurance.
Sometimes
also
referred
to
as
“wearable
robots”,
they
can
be
battery-powered
and
computer-operated,
incorporating
motors
and
hydraulics.
Or
they
can
be
more
simple,
passive
designs
that
use
springs
and
dampeners.
“Integrating
machines
with
humans
opens
up
a
new
realm
of
opportunity,”
says
Adrian
Spragg,
an
expert
on
the
technology
at
management
consultancy
Accenture.
“Many
of
the
early
applications
have
been
focused
on
military
and
medical
applications,
but
in
the
last
several
years
there’s
been
an
explosion
of
use
in
a
range
of
cases.”
This
expansion,
which
has
come
together
with
rapid
advances
in
the
technology,
has
seen
exoskeletons
increasingly
used
by
manufacturing
workers.
Versions
for
consumers
are
also
now
being
developed
to
help
people
more
easily
do
everything
from
DIY,
to
walking,
climbing
stairs,
and
other
daily
activities.
One
report
says
sales
are
now
due
to
rocket
as
a
result.
Global
exoskeleton
revenues
are
expected
to
rise
from
$392m
in
2020
to
$6.8bn
in
2030,
according
to
a
study
by
ABI
Research.
SuitX’s
“suits”
are
now
being
tested
by
car
manufacturers
General
Motors
and
Fiat.
Prof
Kazerooni,
who
is
also
the
director
of
the
University
of
California’s
Berkeley
Robotics
and
Human
Engineering
Laboratory,
says
that
the
primary
benefit
of
the
firm’s
exoskeletons
is
to
prevent
muscle
fatigue.
“We’ve
shown
that
muscle
activity
in
the
back,
shoulder
and
knees
drops
by
50%,”
he
says.
“If
muscle
activities
drop,
that
means
the
risk
of
muscle
injury
is
less.
“This
means
that
factory
or
plant
managers
get
more
productivity,
their
insurance
costs
are
lower,
and
there
are
less
workdays
lost
to
injury.
There’s
less
cost
and
more
productivity.”
General
Motors
is
also
looking
at
a
battery-powered
exoskeleton
glove
developed
by
Bioservo.
This
glove,
called
the
Iron
Hand,
has
sensors
and
motors
in
each
finger,
which
automatically
respond
to
the
level
of
force
that
the
wearer
applies
to
his
or
her
hand
when
lifting
or
gripping
something.
The
glove
therefore
takes
up
some
of
the
strain.
BioServo
says
it
can
increase
the
wearer’s
hand
strength
by
20%
for
extended
periods.
1.According
to
Homayoon
Kazerooni,
the
equipment
will
go
mainstream
because
_____.
A.the
device
can
give
extra
strength
and
endurance
B.the
machine
will
eventually
be
sold
at
hardware
stores
C.the
equipment
is
increasingly
being
worn
in
real
life
D.the
exoskeleton
is
an
external
device
that
is
supportive
2.Which
of
the
following
is
closest
in
meaning
to
“Integrating”
in
Para.
3?
A.Presenting
B.Linking
C.Supplying
D.Combining
3.What’s
Prof
Kazerooni’s
feeling
towards
“exoskeleton”?
A.Sympathetic
B.Promising
C.Concerned
D.Astonished
4.Which
of
the
following
best
summarizes
the
passage?
A.Wearable
robots
may
help
the
disabled
in
the
future.
B.The
new
device
will
cost
less
and
produce
more.
C.The
battery-powered
exoskeleton
will
change
our
life.
D.The
Iron
Man
has
really
come
into
our
life.
三、【2021年河南焦作四模，阅读D】
How
do
you
turn
“dumb”
headphones
into
smart
ones?
Rutgers
engineers
have
invented
a
cheap
and
easy
way
by
transforming
headphones
into
sensors
that
can
be
plugged
into
(插入)
smartphones,
identify
their
users
monitor
their
heart
rates
and
perform
other
services.
Their
invention,
called
HeadFi,
is
based
on
a
small
plug-in
headphone
adapter
that
turns
a
regular
headphone
into
a
sensing
device
(装置).
Unlike
smart
headphones,
regular
headphones
lack
sensors.
HeadFi
would
allow
users
to
avoid
having
to
buy
a
new
pair
of
smart
headphones
with
sensors
to
enjoy
sensing
features.
“HeadFi
could
turn
hundreds
of
millions
of
existing,
regular
headphones
worldwide
into
intelligent
ones
with
a
simple
upgrade
(升级),”
said
Xiaoran
Fan,
a
HeadFi
primary
inventor.
A
Rutgers-led
paper
on
the
invention,
which
results
in
"earable
intelligence",
will
be
formally
published
in
October
at
MobiCom
2021,
the
top
international
conference
on
mobile
computing
and
mobile
and
wireless
networking.
Headphones
are
among
the
most
popular
wearable
devices
worldwide
and
they
continue
to
become;
more
intelligent
as
new
functions
appear,
such
as
touch-based
gesture
control,
the
paper
notes.
Such
functions
usually
rely
on
aiding
sensors,
such
as
accelerometers,
gyroscopes
and
microphones
that
are
available
on
many
smart
headphones.
HeadFi
turns
the
two
drivers
already
inside
all
headphones
into
a
versatile
(多功能的)
sensor,
and
it
works
by
connecting
headphones
to
a
pairing
device,
such
as
a
smartphone.
It
doesn't
require
adding
aiding
sensors
and
avoids
changes
to
headphone
hardware
or
the
need
to
customize
headphones,
both
of
which
may
increase
their
weight
and
size.
By
plugging
into
HeadFi,
a
converted
headphone
can
perform
sensing
tasks
and
play
music
at
the
same
time.
The
engineers
conducted
experiments
with
53
volunteers
using
54
pairs
of
headphones
with
prices
ranging
from
$2.
99
to
$15
,000.
HeadFi
can
achieve
97.
2
percent
to
99.
5
percent
accuracy
on
user
identification
,
96.
8
percent
to
99.
2
percent
on
heart
rate
monitoring
and
97.
7
percent
to
99.
3
percent
on
gesture
recognition.
1.What
does
Xiaoran
Fan
think
of
HeadFi?
A.Secure
to
operate.
B.Simple
to
use.
C.Easy
to
substitute.
D.Convenient
to
store.
2.What
can
we
know
about
HeadFi
according
to
the
text?
A.It
can't
work
with
headphones
alone.
B.It
actually
functions
as
a
versatile
sensor.
C.It
makes
headphones
larger
and
heavier
than
usual.
D.It
doesn't
work
when
headphones
are
playing
music.
3.The
figures
are
listed
in
the
last
paragraph
mainly
to
show_________.
A.the
various
functions
of
HeadFi
B.the
wide
popularity
of
headphones
C.the
great
complexity
of
headphones
D.the
excellent
performance
of
HeadFi
4.What
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.How
to
Use

At
Aizo
Chuo
Hospital
in
Japan,
employees
greet
newcomers,
guide
patients
to
and
from
the
surgery
area,
and
print
out
maps
of
the
hospital
for
confused
visitors.
They
don’t
take
lunch
breaks
or
even
get
paid.
Why?
They’re
robots!
???
Robots
have
long
worked
in
factories,
helping
to
build
cars
and
electronic
appliances.
But
today’s
robots
don’t
just
do
the
jobs
of
people-they
actually
look
and
act
a
lot
like
people.
???
Kansei,
a
robot
from
Japan,
has
a
plastic
face
covering
19
movable
parts.
The
robot
can
make
36
facial
expressions
in
response
to
different
words.
Kansei
shakes
in
fear
at
the
word
“war”
and
smiles
when
it
hears
the
word
“dinner”.
???
Researchers
in
Europe
are
going
even
further
with
iCub,
a
“baby”
robot.
They
are
teaching
it
to
speak
and
hold
conversations.
??
The
ability
to
interact
is
crucial
for
robots
that
will
one
day
work
closely
with
humans,
says
robotics
professor
ChrisAtkeson.
“
This
will
require
robots
to
understand
what
you
say
and
how
you
are
feeling
and
respond
with
appropriate
emotions,
”
he
told
WR
News.
??
Japanese
scientist
Minoru
Asada
agrees.
He
is
building
a
robot
called
CB2
that
acts
like
a
real
baby.
“
Right
now,
it
only
goes,
?
Ah,
ah.
?
But
as
we
develop
its
learning
function,
it
will
start
saying
more
complex
sentences
and
moving
on
its
own,
”
Asada
says.
“
Next-generation
robots
need
to
be
able
to
learn
and
develop
by
themselves.”
??
Intelligent
robot
will
become
more
important
in
the
future,
as
populations
age
and
the
number
of
human
workers
declines
in
many
countries.
“
We’re
going
to
have
many
more
old
people
and
not
enough
young
people
to
care
for
them,”
says
robot
researcher
Matthew
Mason.
“
Technology
can
help
the
old
people
live
at
home
longer,
instead
of
going
to
nursing
homes.”
1.According
to
the
passage,
what
jobs
have
robots
already
performed?
A.Giving
advice,
answering
customer
questions
and
planning
events.
B.Producing
factory
goods,
building
cars
and
greeting
customers.
C.Greeting
customers,
producing
factory
goods
and
performing
surgery.
D.Building
cars,
driving
passengers
and
providing
directions.
2.The
second
paragraph
in
this
passage
is
mainly
about?
A.To
explain
how
a
robot
works.
B.To
define
what
a
robot
is.
C.To
describe
the
functions
of
modern
robots.
D.To
predict
the
future
uses
of
robots.
3.How
does
the
Kansei
robot
react
on
the
word
“fire”?
A.Use
languages
to
warn
nearby
humans.
B.Back
up
its
memory
files.
C.Activate
an
automatic
fire
alarm.
D.Produce
a
worried
look
on
his
face.
4.In
Asada’s
opinion,
the
next
step
for
robots
will
be
to
develop_______.
A.the
ability
to

【2021年宁夏中卫二模，阅读D】
In
2015,
a
man
named
Nigel
Richards
memorized
386,000
words
in
the
entire
French
Scrabble
Dictionary
in
just
nine
weeks.
However,
he
does
not
speak
French.
Richards's
impressive
feat
is
a
useful
example
to
show
how
artificial
intelligence
works—real
AI
Both
of
Richards
and
AI
take
in
massive
amounts
of
data
to
achieve
goals
with
unlimited
memory
and
superman
accuracy
in
a
certain
field.
???
The
potential
applications
of
AI
are
extremely
exciting.
Because
AI
can
outperform
humans
at
routine
tasks—provided
the
task
is
in
one
field
with
a
lot
of
data—it
is
technically
capable
of
replacing
hundreds
of
millions
of
white
and
blue
collar
jobs
in
the
next
15
years
or
so.
???
But
not
every
job
will
be
replaced
by
AI
In
fact,
four
types
of
jobs
are
not
at
risk
at
all.
First,
there
are
creative
jobs.
AI
needs
to
be
given
a
goal
to
optimize.
It
cannot
invent,
like
scientists,
novelists
and
artists
can.
Second,
the
complex,
strategic
jobs—
executives,
diplomats,
economists—go
well
beyond
the
AI
limitation
of
single
field
and
big
data.
Then
there
are
the
as-yet-unknown
jobs
that
will
be
created
by
AI.
???
Are
you
worried
that
these
three
types
of
jobs
won't
employ
as
many
people
as
Al
will
replace?
Not
to
worry,
as
the
fourth
type
is
much
larger:
jobs
where
emotions
are
needed,
such
as
teachers,
nannies
and
doctors.
These
jobs
require
compassion,
trust
and
sympathy—which
AI
does
not
have.
And
even
if
Al
tried
to
fake
it,
nobody
would
want
a
robot
to
tell
them
they
have
cancer,
or
babysit
their
children.
???
So
there
will
still
be
jobs
in
the
age
of
AL
The
key
then
must
be
retraining
the
workforce
so
people
can
do
them.
This
must
be
the
responsibility
not
just
of
the
government,
which
can
provide
funds,
but
also
of
corporations
and
those
who
benefit
most.

With
the
number
of
people
on
Earth
getting
bigger
each
year,
more
and
more
food
needs
to
be
grown
in
order
to
feed
everyone.
As
weather
patterns
continue
to
change
because
of
the
climate
change,
this
task
is
becoming
even
more
difficult.
Some
experts
say
that
everyone,
more
food
will
need
to
be
grown
over
the
next
50
years
than
in
the
last
10,000years.
In
addition,
in
order
to
quickly
increase
the
amount,
farmers
use
methods
that
arent
lways
healthy
for
the
environment--more
pesticides
???
A
US
research
project
called
Mineral
has
created
robots
that
move
around
in
farm
fields.Mineral's
team
spent
several
years
talking
to
farmers
to
see
what
problems
they
were
having
and
how
these
problems
might
be
fixed.
That
directly
led
to
the
creation
of
special
robots
called
"Plant
Buggies",
which
collect
detailed
information
about
crops.
At
first,
the
robots
were
very
simple.
They
were
built
on
bicycles
and
took
pictures
with
cell
phones.
Now
they
oll
on
four
wheels
and
are
high
enough
to
glide(滑行)
over
rows
of
plants
without
hurting
them.
They're
equipped
with
solar
panels
so
that
they
can
be
charged
when
needed
and
they
have
strong
wheels,
allowing
them
to
roll
through
muddy
fields?
???
The
robots
can
take
accurate
pictures
of
plants
and
measure
the
plants
sizes.
They
can
even
do
things
humans
can't,
like
counting
all
of
the
small
buds
(芽)
on
a
plant.
Before,
farmers
had
information
about
the
soil
and
the
weather,
but
they
couldn't
look
after
every
plant.
Now,
with
Mineral's
robots,
they
can
???
By
collecting
lots
of
information
like
this,
the
robots
can
tell
farmers
how
their
plants
will
grow.
The
information
will
also
allow
farmers
to
only
fertilize(施肥)and
water
the
plants
that
truly
need
it.
After
the
robots
find
out
which
plants
have
diseases,
farmers
can
quickly
get
rid
of
these
pants
before
they
ruin
the
entire
crop,
meaning
fewer
plants
will
be
wasted
and
more
food
will
be
produced

七、【2021年湖南三模，阅读D】
Over
the
past
50
years,
scientists
have
been
attempting
to
understand
one
of
the
most
pressing
issues
in
biology--understanding
how
proteins
fold.
Recently,
DeepMind,
a
leader
in
Al,
demonstrated
their
project
AlphaFold
which
won
first
place
in
a
contest
that
encourages
teams
to
accurately
predict
protein
structures
???
Proteins
are
one
of
the
main
building
blocks
of
life-they
help
us
maintain
our
health
and
fuel
our
bodies
with
energy.
Each
protein
is
made
up
of
one-dimensional-
strings
of
amino
acids(氨基酸),
and
the
folding
process
occurs
when
the
chains
fold
into
a
three-dimensional
shape
to
create
an
active
protein.
Protein
folding
is
important
as
the
structure
of
the
protein
determines
its
function.
However,
issues
may
arise
during
the
folding
process
as
proteins
can
become
unfolded
or
misfolded,
resulting
in
diseases
and
life-threatening
conditions,
such
as
Parkinsons
disease,
Alzheimer's
disease,
and
more.
???
Being
able
to
predict
a
proteins
shape
is
incredibly
important.
It
will
allow
scientists
to
develop
the
right
medicines
and
drug
molecules(分子)
that
can
join
to
the
protein
and
possibly
fix,
or
alleviate
the
consequences.
Fixing
damaged
proteins
is
the
key
to
'solving
a
wide
variety
of
diseases
???
DeepMind
takes
inspiration
from
the
human
brain
and
its
pattern-matching
abilities,
known
as
neural
networks.
To
train
the
algorithm(算法),
scientists
feed
it
several
amino
acid
chains
and
the
final
protein
structure.
The
machine
gradually
learns
by
observing
the
patterns,
until
it
is
ready
to
start
making
predictions.
???
Andrei
Lupas,
an
evolutionary
biologist
in
Germany,
had
been
trying
to
understand
a
protein'structure
for
a
decade.
Alpha
Fold
solved
the
problem
in
just
thirty
minutes!
???
There
are
some
who
question
AlphaFold's
abilities,
claiming
that
the
algorithm
may
not
work
as
well
in
real-life
settings
where
amino
acid
strings
are
more
complex.
But
despite
this
DeepMind's
achievement
is
definitely
a
milestone
in
biology.
Not
only
is
DeepMind
in
thu
process
of
applying
this
to
the
current
COVID-19
pandemic
and
what
proteins
are
affected
but
future
pandemics
and

fought
with
ease!
