NAO, the first robot able to show feelings, has been created by a European research team.When NAO is sad, he lowers his head and looks down.When he’s happy, he raises his arms for a hug.Nothing is out of the ordinary, except that NAO is a robot.
“We’re modelling the first year of life,” says Lola Canamero, a computer scientist at the University of Hertfordshire.“The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal expressions.”
“In the future,” says the scientist, “robots are likely to act as companions, provide support for old people,and help people shop online.” In these situations, the display of emotions, will be important in making the interaction more natural and comfortable.
NAO has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-year-old child.It can memorize faces, and knows the basic rules of good and bad.Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but NAO decides for itself when to display them.
NAO is also programmed to have different personalities.A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room, while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.
Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications.Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors,nurses and parents.Children might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.“We want to explore different roles — the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do.We want to help the children to control their anxiety,” she says.
1.According to the text, what do we know about NAO?( )
A.It displays different feelings in different situations. B.It is able to imitate adults’ emotional displays.
C.It can remember people’s feelings. D.It learns emotions from facial expressions.
2.What can we learn from the text?( )
A.Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create NAO’s emotions.
B.The time when NAO displays feelings has been pre-programmed.
C.Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D.Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
3.What does the underlined word“distress” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?( )
A.Courage. B.Anxiety.
C.Anger. D.Satisfaction.
4.What is the text mainly about?( )
A.The relationship between humans and robots.
B.The roles that robots play in different fields.
C.The first robot able to show feelings.
D.The long history of robots.

Charles Darwin was a very famous scientist who lived in the 1800s.His ideas about evolution (进化) completely changed the way scientists understand the natural world.He recorded his ideas in notebooks marked with letters of the alphabet (字母表), which have been considered extremely important for showing how he developed the evolution.
The Cambridge University Library had several of Mr Darwin’s notebooks.The two that were missing were kept in a small box, and were last seen in 2000.In 2001, someone noticed that the box was missing.Luckily, the library had taken pictures of the notebooks’ pages, so the information wasn’t completely lost.
In 2020, the library made a huge effort to find the notebooks.Workers searched through the 10 million books and other things in the library, but they didn’t find the notebooks.Finally, the library asked people around the world to help look for the notebooks.They officially reported the missing notebooks as stolen so that the police around the world would search for them.
Nobody could ever have expected the way in which the notebooks were returned recently: in a pink gift bag with a note that said “Librarian, Happy Easter, X”.People at the library quickly recognised the blue box that the notebooks had been stored in.Inside a brown envelope they found the two missing notebooks, tightly wrapped in plastic.After the police had examined the package, library workers were able to open and carefully study the notebooks.They were pleased to learn that the notebooks were in good shape.They hadn’t been damaged and they weren’t missing any pages.
The timing of the return is perfect.The library was planning a show called “Darwin in Conversation”, which is set to open in July.Now the missing notebooks can be part of that show.
5.What did Darwin write in his notebooks?( )
A.Scientists’ ideas about society.
B.The stories of his family.
C.His thoughts of evolution.
D.The development of the alphabet.
6.Why were the missing notebooks reported to have been stolen?( )
A.Because the library wanted to turn to the police for help.
B.Because the library didn’t want to take on responsibility for the loss.
C.Because the library discovered a librarian stole the notebooks.
D.Because the library realized the notebooks couldn’t be found.
7.How did the librarians feel about the notebooks’ return?( )
A.Proud. B.Nervous.
C.Unconcerned. D.Surprised.
8.What will happen to the notebooks?( )
A.They will be on exhibition.
B.They will be hidden forever.
C.They will be sold on a show.
D.They will be returned to the owner.

“In 2003, the Human Genome (基因组) Project made history when it sequenced (测定序列) 92% of the human genome. But for nearly twenty years since, scientists have made efforts to translate the remaining 8%. Now, a team of nearly 100 scientists from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium has uncovered the complete human genome — the first time it’s been sequenced in its entirety,” the researchers said.
“Having this complete information will allow us to better understand how we form as an individual organism and how we vary not just between other humans but other species,” Evan Eichler, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at the University of Washington and the research leader, said Thursday.
The new research introduces 400 million letters to the previously sequenced DNA — an entire chromosome’s worth. The full genome will allow scientists to analyze how DNA differs between people and whether these genetic variations play a role in disease.
The research, published in the journal Science on Thursday, was previously in preprint, allowing other teams to use the sequence in their own studies.
Until now, it was unclear what these unknown genes coded.
“It turns out that these genes are incredibly important for adaptation,” Eichler said.“They contain immune response genes that help us to adapt and survive infections and plagues and viruses.They contain genes that are very important in terms of predicting drug response.”
“For now, it’s still too expensive and time-consuming for everyone to sequence their own genome. But research is underway that uses this genome to judge whether certain genetic differences are connected with specific cancers. Knowing the genetic variations could also allow doctors to better tailor treatments,” said Michael Schatz, another researcher on the team and a professor of computer science and biology at Johns Hopkins University.
Charles Rotimi, scientific director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, said in a statement that this scientific achievement is “moving us closer to individualized medicine for all humanity”. Rotimi was not involved in the research.
9.What can we say about the human genome?( )
A.It made history in 2003.
B.It is similar between humans.
C.It has been sequenced completely.
D.It will make us know each other well.
10.What does the full genome mean to scientists according to the third paragraph?( )
A.They may write it in the journal Science.
B.They may use it to survive infections.
C.They can analyze if it functions in illness.
D.They can relate it to a certain disease.
11.How could people benefit from sequencing their own genome?( )
A.They could succeed in the field of medicine.
B.They might get personalized treatment.
C.They might be closer to great achievement.
D.They could connect gene with cancers.
12.What is the best title for the text?( )
A.Why Scientists Research the Complete Human Genome
B.The Full Human Genome Benefits Human Beings
C.How Scientists Sequenced the Full Human Genome
D.The Complete Human Genome Was First Uncovered

[2]The well-known story is that the American Founding Father and scientist flew a kite⑤ during a storm in 1752.At that time, there was much interest in electricity⑥.[3]People wanted to know if lightning⑦ was really produced by electricity or something else.Franklin was one of them.He raised the kite with a piece of string⑧ tied to⑨ it.A metal⑩ key was attached to the string.A flash of lightning hit the kite, and electricity was conducted through the string to the key.Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock .This, he said, proved that lightning was a form of electricity.
For many years, schools have taught the story of Franklin’s lightning experiment.More than one generation of schoolchildren has been amazed by his bravery and his scientific approach to looking for the truth.[4]Franklin, along with many other scientists, has inspired us and taught us that scientific experiments are important in order to establish the truth and to contribute towards later scientific discoveries and inventions.

Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to establish the facts.Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton’s head and led him to come up with his theory of gravity .[6]In fact, more than one account suggests that while Newton was certainly inspired by a falling apple, there is no proof that it hit him on the head.
Admittedly , fiction is often more interesting than the truth.People have been more inspired by Franklin’s spirit of scientific exploration than by the facts themselves.[7]But in science, facts should be proved by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we read or hear — even if it is a great story.

【参考译文】
富兰克林的实验:有多少是真的?
本杰明·富兰克林关于闪电的著名实验已引领一代又一代的儿童迈入科学世界。然而,新的研究显示,这个故事可能是虚构的,而并非事实。
这一广为人知的故事讲述了这位美国的开国元勋和科学家在1752年的一场暴风雨中放风筝的经历。那时,不少人对电感兴趣。人们想知道闪电是否真的由电产生,还是另有源头。富兰克林就是其中之一。他在风筝上系了一根细绳,把风筝放上天,细绳上绑着一把金属钥匙。闪电击中风筝,电流通过绳子传导到钥匙上,富兰克林随即用手指触碰钥匙,感受到了电击。他说,这一实验证明了闪电是电的一种形式。
许多年来,富兰克林闪电实验的故事一直是学校的教学内容之一。数代学生都叹服于富兰克林的勇气与追寻真理时采用的科学手段。富兰克林与许多其他科学家激励并教导我们科学实验对于推定真理与推动科学发现及发明而言都至关重要。
然而,不管是故事本身还是实验细节都并非完全属实。虽然已证实富兰克林的这一实验确有其事,不少科学家还是对事实真相提出了质疑。使用细绳和钥匙这一细节是真实的,但科学家们一致认为,如果富兰克林真的碰到了钥匙,他必定会被电死。
科学家们常常对已被人们接受的观点提出质疑,以求证事实。一些科学家甚至也怀疑过牛顿的故事:一个苹果掉下来砸中了牛顿的脑袋,促使他提出了万有引力定律。事实上,不止一处资料显示,虽然牛顿的灵感确实来源于一个掉落的苹果,但没有证据表明这个苹果恰巧砸在了他的脑袋上。
诚然,虚构常常比事实更为有趣。人们更多是为富兰克林的科学探索精神所激励,而非事实本身。但在科学领域,能被实验与研究所证明的东西才算作事实,我们不应全盘相信我们读到或听到的事——即使它是一个精彩的故事。

FRANKLIN’S EXPERIMENT①: How Much Is True?
Benjamin Franklin’s famous experiment with lightning has

①experiment n.(科学)实验
②generation n.一代人;同辈人
③fiction n.虚构的事,想象的事
④instead of 而不是;代替
[2]The well-known story is that the American Founding Father and
scientist flew a kite⑤ during a storm in 1752.At that time, there was
much interest in electricity⑥.[3]People wanted to know if lightning⑦ was
really produced by electricity or something else.Franklin was one of
them.He raised the kite with a piece of string⑧ tied to⑨ it.A metal⑩ key
was attached to the string.A flash of lightning hit the kite, and
electricity was conducted through the string to the key.Franklin then
touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock .This, he
said, proved that lightning was a form of electricity.
For many years, schools have taught the story of Franklin’s
lightning experiment.More than one generation of schoolchildren has been
amazed by his bravery and his scientific approach to looking for the
truth.[4]Franklin, along with many other scientists,has inspired us
and taught us that scientific experiments are important in order to
establish the truth and to contribute towards later scientific discoveries
and inventions.

However, neither the story nor the details of the experiment are

experiment took place , more than one scientist has questioned what
really happened.The detail about the string and the key is true.But
scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key, he would
certainly have died from the electric shock.
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to establish
the facts.Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on
Newton’s head and led him to come up with his theory of gravity
.[6]In fact, more than one account suggests that while Newton was
certainly inspired by a falling apple, there is no proof that it hit him on
the head.
Admittedly , fiction is often more interesting than the truth.People
have been more inspired by Franklin’s spirit of scientific exploration
than by the facts themselves.[7]But in science, facts should be proved
by experiments and research, and we should not always believe
everything we read or hear — even if it is a great story.

富兰克林的实验:有多少是真的?
本杰明·富兰克林关于闪电的著名实验已引领一代又一代的儿童
迈入科学世界。然而,新的研究显示,这个故事可能是虚构的,而并
非事实。
这一广为人知的故事讲述了这位美国的开国元勋和科学家在1752
年的一场暴风雨中放风筝的经历。那时,不少人对电感兴趣。人们想
知道闪电是否真的由电产生,还是另有源头。富兰克林就是其中之
一。他在风筝上系了一根细绳,把风筝放上天,细绳上绑着一把金属
钥匙。闪电击中风筝,电流通过绳子传导到钥匙上,富兰克林随即用
手指触碰钥匙,感受到了电击。他说,这一实验证明了闪电是电的一
种形式。
许多年来,富兰克林闪电实验的故事一直是学校的教学内容之
一。数代学生都叹服于富兰克林的勇气与追寻真理时采用的科学手
段。富兰克林与许多其他科学家激励并教导我们科学实验对于推定真
理与推动科学发现及发明而言都至关重要。
然而,不管是故事本身还是实验细节都并非完全属实。虽然已证
实富兰克林的这一实验确有其事,不少科学家还是对事实真相提出了
质疑。使用细绳和钥匙这一细节是真实的,但科学家们一致认为,如
果富兰克林真的碰到了钥匙,他必定会被电死。
科学家们常常对已被人们接受的观点提出质疑,以求证事实。一
些科学家甚至也怀疑过牛顿的故事:一个苹果掉下来砸中了牛顿的脑
袋,促使他提出了万有引力定律。事实上,不止一处资料显示,虽然
牛顿的灵感确实来源于一个掉落的苹果,但没有证据表明这个苹果恰
巧砸在了他的脑袋上。
诚然,虚构常常比事实更为有趣。人们更多是为富兰克林的科学
探索精神所激励,而非事实本身。但在科学领域,能被实验与研究所
证明的东西才算作事实,我们不应全盘相信我们读到或听到的事——
即使它是一个精彩的故事。

“We’re modelling the first year of life,” says Lola Canamero,

shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or

online.” In these situations, the display of emotions, will be important
in making the interaction more natural and comfortable.
NAO has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-
year-old child.It can memorize faces, and knows the basic rules of good
and bad.Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.The
actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but NAO decides
for itself when to display them.
NAO is also programmed to have different personalities.A more
independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room,
while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the
room that may be harmful.
Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into
medical applications.Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in
hospitals to support the roles of doctors,nurses and parents.Children
might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their
emotional states makes them less anxious.“We want to explore different
roles — the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and
explain what they have to do.We want to help the children to control their
anxiety,” she says.

1. According to the text, what do we know about NAO?( )
A. It displays different feelings in different situations.
B. It is able to imitate adults’ emotional displays.
C. It can remember people’s feelings.
D. It learns emotions from facial expressions.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中的When NAO is sad, he
lowers his head and looks down.When he’s happy, he raises his
arms for a hug.可知,当NAO伤心时,它会低下头;当它开心时,
它会伸出手臂要求拥抱,这说明NAO能在不同情况下表达不同的
情绪。
2. What can we learn from the text?( )
A. Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create NAO’s
emotions.
B. The time when NAO displays feelings has been pre-programmed.
C. Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D. Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
解析: 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Children might find that
a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional
states makes them less anxious.可知,如果孩子们有一个小的、友好

么焦虑了,也就是说具有情感技能的机器人可以帮助孩子们感觉更
舒服。
3. What does the underlined word“distress” in Paragraph 5 probably
mean?( )
A. Courage. B. Anxiety.
C. Anger. D. Satisfaction.
解析: 词义猜测题。前面提到一个更独立的机器人在探索房间
时很少寻求帮助,是独立完成任务的。句中的while表示对比,由
此可以判断,后面是说一个胆怯的机器人如果在房间里发现可能有
害的东西时会表现出“焦虑”(的情绪)。
4. What is the text mainly about?( )
A. The relationship between humans and robots.
B. The roles that robots play in different fields.
C. The first robot able to show feelings.
D. The long history of robots.

Charles Darwin was a very famous scientist who lived in the
1800s.His ideas about evolution (进化) completely changed the way
scientists understand the natural world.He recorded his ideas in notebooks
marked with letters of the alphabet (字母表), which have been
considered extremely important for showing how he developed the
evolution.
The Cambridge University Library had several of Mr Darwin’s
notebooks.The two that were missing were kept in a small box, and were
last seen in 2000.In 2001, someone noticed that the box was
missing.Luckily, the library had taken pictures of the notebooks’
pages, so the information wasn’t completely lost.
In 2020, the library made a huge effort to find the
notebooks.Workers searched through the 10 million books and other things
in the library, but they didn’t find the notebooks.Finally, the library
asked people around the world to help look for the notebooks.They
officially reported the missing notebooks as stolen so that the police around
the world would search for them.
Nobody could ever have expected the way in which the notebooks
were returned recently: in a pink gift bag with a note that said
“Librarian, Happy Easter, X”.People at the library quickly
recognised the blue box that the notebooks had been stored in.Inside a
brown envelope they found the two missing notebooks, tightly wrapped
in plastic.After the police had examined the package, library workers
were able to open and carefully study the notebooks.They were pleased to
learn that the notebooks were in good shape.They hadn’t been damaged
and they weren’t missing any pages.
The timing of the return is perfect.The library was planning a show
called “Darwin in Conversation”, which is set to open in July.Now
the missing notebooks can be part of that show.

“In 2003, the Human Genome (基因组) Project made history
when it sequenced (测定序列) 92% of the human genome. But for
nearly twenty years since, scientists have made efforts to translate the
remaining 8%. Now, a team of nearly 100 scientists from the Telomere-
to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium has uncovered the complete human
genome — the first time it’s been sequenced in its entirety,” the
researchers said.
“Having this complete information will allow us to better understand
how we form as an individual organism and how we vary not just between
other humans but other species,” Evan Eichler, a Howard Hughes
Medical Institute investigator at the University of Washington and the
research leader, said Thursday.
The new research introduces 400 million letters to the previously
sequenced DNA — an entire chromosome’s worth. The full genome will
allow scientists to analyze how DNA differs between people and whether
these genetic variations play a role in disease.
The research, published in the journal Science on Thursday, was
previously in preprint, allowing other teams to use the sequence in their
own studies.
Until now, it was unclear what these unknown genes coded.
“It turns out that these genes are incredibly important for
adaptation,” Eichler said.“They contain immune response genes that
help us to adapt and survive infections and plagues and viruses.They
contain genes that are very important in terms of predicting drug
response.”
“For now, it’s still too expensive and time-consuming for
everyone to sequence their own genome. But research is underway that
uses this genome to judge whether certain genetic differences are
connected with specific cancers. Knowing the genetic variations could
also allow doctors to better tailor treatments,” said Michael Schatz,
another researcher on the team and a professor of computer science and
biology at Johns Hopkins University.
Charles Rotimi, scientific director of the National Human Genome
Research Institute, said in a statement that this scientific achievement is
“moving us closer to individualized medicine for all humanity”. Rotimi
was not involved in the research.

On the Use of Artificial Intelligence
参考范文:
On the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Hi everybody.Our group discussed the use of AI and finally agreed
that its advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
On the one hand, it goes without saying that AI has brought much
convenience and has been doing us a great favour in jobs requiring
accuracy and calculation.Plus, AI has such fantastic speed in collecting
data.On the other hand, AI is becoming too smart nowadays, concerns
arising.Some of us think that AI will be a threat to humans one
day.However, AI can be our best assistant as long as we develop it in the
right way.
That’s our opinion.Thank you.
谢谢观看!
