单元检测
Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology finds that older and younger people have a varying preference for what they would want a personal robot to look like. And they change their minds based on what the robot is supposed to do.21教育网
Participants were shown a series of photos, either robotic, human or mixed human-robot faces, and were asked to select the one that they would prefer for their robot’s appearance. Most college-aged adults in the study preferred a robotic appearance, although the others were also generally open to them. However, nearly 60 percent of older adults said they would want a robot with a human face, and only 6 percent of them chose one with a mixed human-robot appearance.
"We found that participants, both younger and older, will assign emotional traits to a robot based on its face, which will determine what they are most comfortably interacting with," Akanksha Prakash, a psychology graduate student at Georgia Tech who led the study, said in a statement. So when participants were told the robot was helping with personal care, chores, social interaction or helping to make decisions, something interesting happened.21·世纪*教育网
Preference was less strong for helping with chores, although the majority of older and younger participants chose a robot with a robotic face. But for decision-making tasks, such as getting advice on where to invest money, younger participants tended to select a mixed human-robot appearance. A robotic face was their least favored choice for this task. Older adults generally preferred a human face. Personal care tasks such as bathing caused the most divisive preferences within both age groups. Those who chose a human face did so because they associated the robot with human-like care capabilities — such as nursing — and trustworthy traits. Many others didn’t want anything looking like a human to bathe them due to the private nature of the task.
Based on this early research, the researcher says that if a robot is designed to help only with a specific task, its appearance should fit in with the task. For instance, if the robot is designed to specifically assist the user with critical decisions, the robot should be given an intelligent look instead of a funny one. However, if the robot is tasked with a variety of jobs in the home, allowing for appearance customizability(可定制性) might be the best option.
The researcher next plans to expand the study to other age groups and people with more diverse educational backgrounds.

D. Why people have a preference for robots?
B
Japan is very serious about robotics (机器人技术). If robots are going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are just exploring that. In a show this week, a humanoid(人形机器人)with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc. poured tea from a bottle into a cup. Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensors embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate(模仿)life with robot technology.
"A human being may be faster, but you’d have to say ‘Thank you’," said Professor Tomomasa Sato from the University of Tokyo. "That’s the best part about a robot. You don’t have to feel bad about asking it to do things."
Sato believes Japan, a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older, will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elderly, sick and bedridden(长期卧床的).
Already, monitoring technologies, such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room, are becoming widespread in Japan.
The walking, child-size Asimo from Honda Motor Co. greets people at show-rooms. NEC Corp. has developed a smaller robot-on-wheels companion called Papero. A seal robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of fuzzy companionship.
Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices(设备)monitor a person’s movements down to the smallest detail.
On the bright side, the tea-pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.
5. What is the best title of this passage?
A. "Thank You" Will Never Be Needed in Japan
B. Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in Japan
C. Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elderly
D. Robot Technologies Are Widespread in Daily Life in Japan
6. The underlined word "embedded" in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A. fixed
B. established
C. settled
D. rooted
7. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.21·cn·jy·com
B. A robot has been programmed to do the dishes.
C. All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.www.21-cn-jy.com
D. The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.
8. We can infer from the passage that .
A. people are afraid of being monitored by robots
B. the technology of robots has been highlighted in Japan
C. robots can completely take the place of human beings
D. people’s privacy should be strictly protected

Ⅳ. 短文改错
There were many people on the bus and no vacant seats.

第六处：但是男子想站起来，表示转折关系。
第七处：和said并列用一般过去时。
