Recently, we have had a class discussion about whether it is necessary to apply high technology to the Palace Museum. Our opinions are divided.
Some support the use of high technology, saying that it can add beauty to the Palace Museum, thus making it more attractive to visitors. However, those who are against the idea say that it will destroy the original appearance of the Palace Museum. More importantly, it is extremely essential to respect the history and our tradition.
In my opinion, lots of work can be done to appeal to more visitors. It’s our duty to provide a complete and true ancient palace for the world.Period Five Writing

What it highlighted was the interactive displays, where visitors could experience controlling appliances with just their voice or through smartphone apps. It was breathtaking to witness how technology can easily integrate into our daily lives.
Meaningful and unforgettable, the exhibition is well worth visiting. It impresses on us that the smart home will make our life easier and that smart technology is not a fantasy. If you like further details, I am always here.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物经历为线索展开,讲述了Derek和Shirley在度假期间的一次惊险经历,两人在假期刚开始的路上遇到机器人出租车司机出现了故障,但是在出租车公司的帮忙下有惊无险,最终两人安全到达目的地。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Derek和Shirley面面相觑,眼中充满了极度的恐慌。”可知,第一段可描写机器人司机出故障之后,两人的反应以及对于问题的解决办法。
②由第二段首句内容“‘别担心,先生,’电话里传来平静的回答,‘而且您的出租车也是一辆无人驾驶汽车。’”可知,第二段可描写出租车公司对Derek和Shirley的帮助以及故事的结局。
2.续写线索:险情发生—两人行为—寻求帮助—解决办法—安全到达。
One possible version:
Derek and Shirley looked at each other with great fear in their eyes. The taxi was moving faster and faster, and “Rocky” seemed to be malfunctioning. “Slow down!” Derek shouted, but “Rocky” did not respond. The robot drove even faster than before and narrowly missed a car. Terrified, Derek grabbed his phone. With trembling fingers, he called the taxi company. “Hello ” Derek shouted into the phone, “Our robot driver is having a breakdown and he’s completely out of control. We need help quickly!”
“Don’t worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “and your taxi is also a driverless car.” The reply continued, “We have the authority to disable the robot driver. Let me switch your taxi to the driverless mode and get you to your destination safely.” The taxi immediately slowed down and continued as if nothing had happened, although its driver could be heard mumbling to “himself”, “…go wrong…go wrong…” . When they finally arrived at their hotel, Derek and Shirley quickly got out of the taxi, relieved and grateful to be alive. As they watched the taxi move away, they agreed that for the rest of the holiday, they would walk everywhere!Period Five Writing

[2025·福建福九联盟高二期中联考]
Robots doing housework is nothing new, with Tesla having put forward its cool Optimus robot and DeepMind revealing its latest achievements in robotics.
Recently, a robot called Mobile ALOHA, developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University in the US, can handle everything for a dish, whether it is chopping vegetables or cracking eggs.
It also excels in various household tasks like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and doing the laundry. It even knows to shake the pillow after putting on a pillowcase. An Internet user joked under one video that as long as this thing doesn’t try to kill him while he is asleep, he is in real need of it.
However, a following video posted by one of the researchers, Tony Zhao, and showing Mobile ALOHA’s failures proved that the idea of having a robot servant may just be wishful thinking. In the video, Mobile ALOHA randomly broke glasses and plates, knocked into cabinets and even burned a pot.
It turns out that Mobile ALOHA is not a complete self-learning system that can independently navigate new environments. It relies on demonstrations by human operators in its surroundings, meaning that the robot needs to learn from human behaviour before completing each task. Also, according to the team, the robot achieves a 95 percent success rate in wiping red wine spots, 80 percent in pushing chairs, and a mere 40 percent in frying shrimp. In short, it’s far from perfect.
The behavioural problems of smart robots have been bothering scientists for decades. Although smart robots do pretty well in things requiring high-level reasoning like maths, they perform worse than a one-year-old child when it comes to simple tasks demanding abilities of perception, reflexes and mobility.
As the team observed, the interaction between the arm and the base of Mobile ALOHA would get quite complex if more flexibility is required in a task. Even a slight difference in the base settings might lead to significant change in the arms’ motions, resulting in failure to complete the task.
( )1.What do Paragraphs 2—3 focus on about Mobile ALOHA
A.Its working principles.
B.Its developing process.
C.Its main functions.
D.Its potential risks.
( )2.What does Tony Zhao’s video suggest according to the text
A.Mobile ALOHA needs to be further perfected.
B.Smart robots are ready for doing housework.
C.It is worthwhile to have robots do housework.
D.Many people wish to have smart robots at home.
( )3.How can Mobile ALOHA best complete a new task
A.By operating independently.
B.By copying human operators.
C.By learning from previous tasks.
D.By seeking help from programmers.
( )4.According to the text, which type of tasks may smart robots be better at
A.Quick reflexes.

C.Emotional response.
D.Precise calculation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) geolocation (地理定位) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts. These systems use advanced sensors, satellite imagery, and machine learning algorithms (算法) to gather real-time data on animal movements, habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 1.
Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems, which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals. 2. The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely, which decreases human impact on wildlife.
In addition, AI-powered devices collect and analyse data precisely. Through their assistance, scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 3. For example, by analysing the collected data, conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices.
4. By monitoring animals’ behavioural changes in real time, researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues. Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems. Researchers can then respond immediately, potentially saving the animal’s life.
Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness about protecting endangered species. 5. This help them feel more connected to the issues wildlife faces in habitats. The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means, such as donations, volunteer work, and so on.
A.This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions.
B.However, AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals.
C.AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods.
D.The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation.
E.Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience.
F.The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork.
G.With real-time data, the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton…but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more tightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong…could possibly go wrong…go wrong…go wrong…”

Dear Steve,
Hope this letter finds you well. After visiting the Smart
Home Exhibition last Saturday at the City Science and
Technology Museum, I'm eagerly writing to introduce something
relevant, hoping to share with you the thrilling experience.
Aimed at making people's daily life more convenient and
efficient, the exhibition showcased the latest advancements in
home automation and technology, ranging from smart lighting,
security systems to voice-controlled devices. What it
highlighted was the interactive displays, where visitors could
experience controlling appliances with just their voice or
through smartphone apps. It was breathtaking to witness how
technology can easily integrate into our daily lives.
Meaningful and unforgettable, the exhibition is well worth
visiting. It impresses on us that the smart home will make our
life easier and that smart technology is not a fantasy. If you like
further details, I am always here.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之
构成一篇完整的短文。
Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and
into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky
and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying
palm trees, they couldn't wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their
suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat.
“Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,”
replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white
smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the
taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face
seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film
star, Rocky Overton…but of course, you can't be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver
explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to
look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi
company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since
they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than
human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first
robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other's hands more tightly.
“Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to
worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent.
I'm equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I
know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the
latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get
you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful
manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in
their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky”
added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer
technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best
materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore,
you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go
wrong…could possibly go wrong…go wrong…go wrong…”
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Derek and Shirley looked at each other with great fear in
their eyes. ___________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Don't worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “and
your taxi is also a driverless car.”__________________________________
【思路点拨】本文以人物经历为线索展开，讲述了Derek和Shirley在
度假期间的一次惊险经历，两人在假期刚开始的路上遇到机器人出
租车司机出现了故障，但是在出租车公司的帮忙下有惊无险，最终
两人安全到达目的地。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Derek和Shirley面面相觑，眼中充满了极度的恐
慌。”可知，第一段可描写机器人司机出故障之后，两人的反应以及
对于问题的解决办法。
②由第二段首句内容“‘别担心，先生，’电话里传来平静的回答，‘而
且您的出租车也是一辆无人驾驶汽车。’”可知，第二段可描写出租车
公司对Derek和Shirley的帮助以及故事的结局。
2.续写线索：险情发生—两人行为—寻求帮助—解决办法—安全到达。
One possible version:
Derek and Shirley looked at each other with great fear in
their eyes. The taxi was moving faster and faster, and “Rocky”
seemed to be malfunctioning. “Slow down!” Derek shouted, but
“Rocky” did not respond. The robot drove even faster than
before and narrowly missed a car. Terrified, Derek grabbed his
phone. With trembling fingers, he called the taxi company.
“Hello ” Derek shouted into the phone, “Our robot driver is
having a breakdown and he's completely out of control. We
need help quickly!”
“Don't worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “and
your taxi is also a driverless car.” The reply continued, “We have
the authority to disable the robot driver. Let me switch your
taxi to the driverless mode and get you to your destination
safely.” The taxi immediately slowed down and continued as if
nothing had happened, although its driver could be heard
mumbling to “himself”, “…go wrong…go wrong…” . When they
finally arrived at their hotel, Derek and Shirley quickly got out
of the taxi, relieved and grateful to be alive. As they watched
the taxi move away, they agreed that for the rest of the holiday,
they would walk everywhere!
