同源高考阅读训练：机器人送餐正流行 等3则 2023届高考英语复习备考
机器人送餐正流行
数百个小型机器人已经在美国、英国和其他国家的大学和城市投入使用。这些约50厘米高的机器人可以为饥饿的食客送去美味的食物。
1Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States， Britain and elsewhere. The robots， about 50 centimeters tall， are bringing food like pizza to hungry students.
2 The robots were being tested in limited numbers before the pandemic （流行病） started. But pandemic related worker shortages and a desire for contactless delivery have expanded their use.
3“We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling，” said Alastair Westgate. He is the head of Starship Technologies， whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery. “I think demand was always there， but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect.”
4Starship has deployed more than 1，000 robots， up from just 250 in 2019. Hundreds more will be sent out soon. They are delivering food at 20 US colleges and 25 more will be added soon.
5 The robots use cameras， sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour.
6Operators keep watch on several robots at a time， but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. When a robot arrives， people enter a code from their phones to open the robot and get their food.
7 There are some limitations for now. The robots have to be recharged regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcoming them.
8Data company NPD found that US food delivery orders increased 66 percent for the year ending in June. And delivery demand could remain high even after the pandemic because people have got used to the service.
9Ji Hye Kim is the chef of Miss Kim restaurant in Ann Arbor， Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year.
10Kim prefers robots to delivery companies. Kim said the robots also excite people who often share videos of their interactions.

数字项目让奥运诞生地“复活”
希腊南部的一项新技术项目让游客可以以虚拟现实的方式沉浸式探索奥运会的古老发源地。该项目使用增强现实技术重建了奥林匹亚古城的寺庙和竞赛区。
1A new technology project in southern Greece is helping visitors experience the ancient birthplace of the Olympic Games. The project used augmented reality to recreate temples and competition areas in the ancient city of Olympia. It was recently launched in the city， one of the world’s major archaeological sites.
2Augmented reality， or AR， is a technology that can project computer created imagery onto special eyeglasses. Through the eyeglasses， the images appear along with other physical objects in the environment.
3The project is a partnership between American software maker Microsoft and Greece’s Ministry of Culture and Sport. The ministry helped Microsoft map and build virtual representations of Olympia.
4The city was used for nearly a thousand years to host the games in ancient Greece that served as the model for the modern Olympics.
5“Its a milestone that helped us bring technology and culture and history together， so we can preserve it，” Microsoft President Brad Smith said in a video message at the launch event.
6The experience provides users with the chance to virtually walk through the ruins of Olympia. At the Olympic Museum in Athens， people can also use Microsoft’s AR headsets for a similar experience.
7Greek Prime Minister Kyriako’s Mistakes joined a group of schoolchildren who were using the app for the first time. “I’m absolutely thrilled that were able to present to the world a completely new cultural experience using technology to recreate the ancient world of Olympia，” Mistakes told The Associated Press.
8Students from a local middle school looked at statues and structures that were brought to life on their phones. They were able to virtually visit inside and outside settings to explore where ancient Olympians had competed in different sports. One of the children， Panayiotis Hristopoulos， called the project “impressive”. “I think it can help with teaching in schools，” the student said.
9The project began 18 months ago with a series of imaging flights to help map areas across Olympia.
10Microsoft is to build several data centers in and near Athens as part of a $1 billion investment agreement with the Greek government.

能识别问题食物的袖珍装置
据估计，全世界有十分之一的人患有与消化系统相关的疾病。然而，发现哪些食物会引起不良反应是一个漫长而艰苦的过程，而且代价昂贵。为了解决这一问题，爱尔兰工程师安格斯·肖特和彼得·哈特发明了只有5平方厘米大小的便携式设备来测量一个人呼出的气体中的氢含量，以帮助使用者监测消化系统疾病。
1It is estimated that one in ten people worldwide are suffering from diseases that are
Related to digestive conditions. There is no cure， although it can be managed with lifestyle and dietary changes. However， discovering which foods cause a bad reaction for individuals can be a long and painstaking process and its expensive as well.
2Thats why Irish engineers Angus Short and Peter Harte founded Food Marble， a startup that has invented portable devices， measuring just 5 square centimeters. It can be used to test the hydrogen levels in a person’s breath， which is a key signal for digestive disorders.
3FoodMarbles app has a database of nearly 1，000 foods， which are typically hard to digest. Food Marbles AIRE device， which was launched in 2018， allows users to test for hydrogen after meals， giving them real-time feedback on what food is bad for their body. Readings are transmitted via Bluetooth to the Food Marble app， where users can record what they eat， and over a course of weeks spot the ingredients that cause symptoms.
4Hydrogen breath tests have long been a method for diagnosing digestive conditions， but the technology has not been widely accessible because it requires multiple trips to the hospital for testing. By miniaturizing it， the technology can be accessible to ordinary people. So far， Food Marble has sold 25，000 of its breath sensor devices， which have out
Performed other hydrogen breath test methods.
5Doing breath tests in a clinical setting can be challenging and needs more manpower， requiring a medical assistant to take a breath sample every 15 minutes over a number of hours. The attraction of the Food Marble device is that its not just a one-time analysis of the breath. A person could use it multiple times to gather multiple data points on which to make better judgment calls and assessments about food sensitivities.
6Dr Tara Troy， a gastroenterologist （胃肠病学家）， warns that hydrogen breath tests are not a foolproof method for diagnosing digestive problems and can sometimes produce false negatives and positives. “It is important to complement them with other tests that can determine if a patient is suffering from more serious conditions. Anyhow， they are hugely valuable in offering some sort of objective criteria for patients with digestive conditions，” said Troy.
