Passage 7
Robot Chef Learns to Twirl (旋转) Pizza Like a Pro
Pizza has a proud history of fueling late-night lab work, and scientists in Naples—an Italian city famous for its pizza—have easy access to some of the world’s tastiest take-out. But what inspires engineer Bruno Siciliano is not that first bite 61 much as how the dish is made.
“Preparing a pizza involves an extraordinary level of agility and dexterity (敏捷和灵巧),” says Siciliano, who directs a robotics research group at the University of Naples Federico Ⅱ. Stretching a deformable object like a lump of dough (面团) requires an accurate and gentle touch. It is one of the few things humans can handle, but robots cannot—yet.
Siciliano’s team 62 (develop) a robot able to make a pizza pie. RoDyMan (short for Robotic Dynamic Manipulation) is a five-year project 63 (support) by a ?2.5-million grant from the European Research Council. Like a human chef, RoDyMan must throw the dough into the air to stretch it, 64 (follow) it as it spins and anticipating how it will change shape.
RoDyMan has been working this spring toward a milestone: stretching the dough 65 tearing it. To guide the robot, Siciliano’s team asked master pizza chef Enzo Coccia to wear a suit of movement-tracking sensors. “We learn [Coccia’s] motions, and we copy them with RoDyMan,” Sciliano says.
RoDyMan uses visual sensors in its head to track the dough in real time. Using software, it can train 66 to handle the pizza like a chef would. The robot 67 (map) the dough’s position and tracks how it moves. Through practice, the robot 68 get better—much like humans develop “muscle memory.” Researchers hope RoDyMan’s technology can lead to a new generation of robots that will perform tasks in ways 69 are accurate and responsive, if not more lifelike.
Yet Siciliano admits that 70 compares with a traditional chef. “I would never eat a pizza made by a robot,” he says. “It would not have the taste a real pizzaiolo, with his soul, would put in it.”
【答案】
61.so 62.has been developing 63.supported 64.following 65.without 66.itself 67.maps 68.can 69.that/which 70.nothing
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。在意大利那不勒斯,科学家们试图做出一款能做披萨的机器人。
61.考查副词。句意:但是,工程师布鲁诺·西西里亚诺的灵感并非仅源于最初的一口,更多的是来自菜肴的制作方法。分析句子结构,not so much as为固定短语,含义为“与其说是……不如说是……”,符合语境,故填so。
62.考查时态。句意:Siciliano的团队一直在开发一种能够制作披萨派的机器人。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中作谓语,根据下文“RoDyMan (short for Robotic Dynamic Manipulation) is a five-year project(RoDyMan(机器人动态操纵的缩写)是一个为期五年的项目)”可知此处表达的是一个从过去一直持续到现在的动作,而且还有可能继续下去,谓语动词使用现在完成进行时,因主语Siciliano’s team为单数,故填has been developing。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:RoDyMan(机器人动态操纵的缩写)是一个由欧洲研究委员会250万欧元拨款支持的五年项目。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中作后置定语,且与其逻辑主语project之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,使用过去分词,故填supported。
64.考查非谓语动词。句意:就像人类厨师一样,RoDyMan必须将面团抛向空中拉伸,在面团旋转时跟随它,并预测它将如何改变形状。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中作状语,使用非谓语动词,因与其逻辑主语RoDyMan之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,使用现在分词,故填following。
65.考查介词。句意:今年春天RoDyMan一直致力于实现一个里程碑:拉伸面团而不撕裂它。根据上文“stretching the dough(拉伸面团)”以及下文“tearing it(撕裂它)”可推理出本句说的是RoDyMan要学会拉伸面团但不会撕裂它,空白处应填表示“没有”含义的介词,故填without。
66.考查反身代词。句意:使用软件,它可以像厨师一样训练自己处理披萨。根据下文“to handle the pizza like a chef would(像厨师一样处理披萨)”可推理出此处说的是RoDyMan使用软件训练自己能够像厨师一样处理披萨,空白处应填反身代词,故填itself。

Robot Chef Learns to Twirl (旋转) Pizza Like a Pro
Pizza has a proud history of fueling late-night lab work, and scientists in Naples—an Italian city famous for its pizza—have easy access to some of the world’s tastiest take-out. But what inspires engineer Bruno Siciliano is not that first bite 61 much as how the dish is made.
“Preparing a pizza involves an extraordinary level of agility and dexterity (敏捷和灵巧),” says Siciliano, who directs a robotics research group at the University of Naples Federico Ⅱ. Stretching a deformable object like a lump of dough (面团) requires an accurate and gentle touch. It is one of the few things humans can handle, but robots cannot—yet.
Siciliano’s team 62 (develop) a robot able to make a pizza pie. RoDyMan (short for Robotic Dynamic Manipulation) is a five-year project 63 (support) by a ?2.5-million grant from the European Research Council. Like a human chef, RoDyMan must throw the dough into the air to stretch it, 64 (follow) it as it spins and anticipating how it will change shape.
RoDyMan has been working this spring toward a milestone: stretching the dough 65 tearing it. To guide the robot, Siciliano’s team asked master pizza chef Enzo Coccia to wear a suit of movement-tracking sensors. “We learn [Coccia’s] motions, and we copy them with RoDyMan,” Sciliano says.
RoDyMan uses visual sensors in its head to track the dough in real time. Using software, it can train 66 to handle the pizza like a chef would. The robot 67 (map) the dough’s position and tracks how it moves. Through practice, the robot 68 get better—much like humans develop “muscle memory.” Researchers hope RoDyMan’s technology can lead to a new generation of robots that will perform tasks in ways 69 are accurate and responsive, if not more lifelike.
Yet Siciliano admits that 70 compares with a traditional chef. “I would never eat a pizza made by a robot,” he says. “It would not have the taste a real pizzaiolo, with his soul, would put in it.”
Passage 8
Researchers have studied how much energy Danish people take from their food, based on 71 (analyse) of their feces and the microbes within. They found 72 (rough) 40 percent of the participants have microbes that on average extract more energy from food 73 (compare) to the other 60 percent. The new study, led by experts at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, 74 (publish) in the journal Microbiome on Tuesday.
“Bacteria’s metabolism of food provides extra energy in 75 form of short-chain fatty acids — molecules our body can use 76 energy-supplying fuel,” said Professor Roager. “But if we consume more than we burn, the extra energy provided by the intestinal bacteria may increase the risk of 77 (gain) weight over time.”
78 the scientists only used a small sample of Danish participants, it is possible the findings could be applied to other global populations. Overall, the result 79 (indicate) being overweight might not just be related to 80 healthily one eats or amount of exercise one gets, but it may also have something to do with the microbes in our gut.

Eating ultraprocessed foods (超加工食品) for more than 20% of your daily calorie intake every day could lead to cognitive decline, a new study revealed. Studies have found these foods can raise our risk 81 obesity, heart problems, diabetes and cancer. They may even 82 (short) our lives.
The key problem with ultraprocessed foods is that they are usually very high in sugar, salt and fat, all of 83 promote systemic inflammation (炎症).

According to a recent American study, food allergies (过敏) are becoming more and more common, 91 (particular) among children. About 8% of those under 19 have developed an allergy. That means 92 total of 6 million children suffer from allergies in the USA.

The first three times were when the patients were in 117 (they) 50s, and the last two times were when they were between 70 and 90. Dr. Natalia Dmitrieva, lead researcher of the study, said, “The 118 (result) suggest that proper hydration may slowdown ageing and make a disease-free life longer,” She calls 119 consuming more water, juice, fruit and vegetables with high water content. She said that half of the people worldwide didn’t drink enough in their daily life. According to her 120 (recommend), the average adult needs to drink at least 1.5 liters of water every day.
