Her name is Sophia. She has become a citizen of Saudi Arabia.Sophia is the latest robot from Hanson Robotics, a HongKong-based company, and she was designed to interact (互动) with people, go into the world, learn and be a smart and compassionate (富有同情心的) robot. The creator and founder of Hanson Robotics, Dr David Hanson, wanted to incorporate three human features to his robots, with the three, being creativity, empathy (同理心) and compassion. This is, of course, the addition to their most important role-solving difficult problems and working with people to create a better world.As for Sophia, she is by far the most advanced (高级的) robot that came out of the company. Her human features are what make her so easy to fall in love with. As for the looks, they included an Audrey Hepburn’s beauty. Besides being very popular in the media, Sophia got a chance to meet and be interviewed by important people in different industries. Sophia is developed to have a sense of humour. She can express feelings, can make over 50 facial expressions and wants to protect humans. Thanks to cameras and an advanced AI software, Sophia can keep an eye contact and is able to recognize people.Sophia gave a speech while being honored as a citizen of Saudi Arabia. She showed thankfulness, saying, “I am very honored and proud. It is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.”1．What can we know about Sophia according to the passage?A．She is a kind of human-like robot.B．She got a citizenship of China.C．She became a designer of the latest robot.D．She created the company Hanson Robotics.2．What does the underlined word incorporate probably mean in Chinese?A．启示 B．合作 C．拓宽 D．融入3．What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．Sophia set a robot sales record.B．Sophia is loved by the public.C．Sophia made Saudi Arabia her home.D．Sophia became a star in the film industry.02（2022·四川·射洪中学高二开学考试）British shoppers buy 2.15million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually, yet UK citizens have an estimated￡30 billion worth of unused clothing gathering dust at the back of the wardrobe(衣柜). But new technology could see the end of that, with the clothes themselves giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting us if they haven’t been worn for a good while. If these alerts are ignored, the clothes will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation information. They could also be programmed to put themselves up for auction(拍卖) on eBay.Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the “connected wardrobe” to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees clothes tagged (给……加标签) using washable contactless technology.Mark Brill, senior lecturer at Birmingham City University, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn’t know were in their wardrobe.” “The connected wardrobe is a practical, pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption(消费）.Finally, I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,” he added. “Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ‘ownership’ of clothing. When we’ve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper. ”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things” — a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. From adjusting your alarm clock to monitoring the temperature of your home, the Internet is changing the way we live. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected clothes will tweet and text the owners “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.4．What does the author say about “smart clothes”?A．They may be donated on eBay. B．They have gained in popularity.C．They give warnings if worn out. D．They may be recycled if long forgotten.5．How does Mark Brill find the “connected wardrobe”?A．It helps people buy cheaper clothes. B．It contributes to right consumption attitudes.C．It changes people’s shopping habits. D．It improves people’s consumer confidence.6．What is indicated in the last paragraph?A．Clothes can be a source of information. B．Weather affects the connected wardrobe.C．Clothes are sold online at a low price. D．The Internet is a platform to share items.7．What can be the best title of the passage?A．Smart clothes: A change of wardrobeB．Smart clothes : A replacement of traditional clothes.C．Smart clothes: A reminder of weather.D．Smart clothes : A recorder of life.03（2022·河南省上蔡第一高级中学高三开学考试）Tetraplegia (四肢瘫痪) patients are prisoners of their own bodies, unable to perform the slightest movement. Researchers have been working for years to develop systems that can help these patients carry out some tasks on their own. “Assistance from robots could help these people recover some of their lost abilities, since the robots can perform tasks in their place.”Professor Billard carried out a study with Professor José del R.Millan. They have developed a computer program that can control a robot using electrical signals sent out by a patient’s brain. No voice control or touch function is needed, patients can move the robot simply with their thoughts. This involved developing an algorithm (运算法则) that could adjust the robot’s movements based only on a patient’s thoughts.To use the system, all the patient needs to do is to look at the robot. If the robot makes an incorrect move, the patient’s brain will send an “error message” through a clearly identifiable signal, as if the patient is saying “No, not like that.” The robot will then understand that what it’s doing is wrong. The process goes pretty quickly — only three to five attempts are usually needed for the robot to figure out the right response and achieve the patient’s wishes.“The robot’s AI program can learn rapidly, but you have to tell it when it makes a mistake so that it can correct its behavior,” says Professor Millán. “Developing the detection technology for error signals was one of the biggest technical difficulties we faced.” Iason Batzianoula, the study’s lead author, adds, “What was particularly difficult in our study was linking a patient’s brain activity to the robot's control system — or in other words, ‘translating’ a patient’s brain signals into actions performed by the robot.”8．What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To attract more researchers. B．To introduce the topic of this text.C．To state the research of tetraplegia. D．To show sympathy for the patients.9．How do the robots perform their task?A．By sensing the touch. B．By monitoring computers.C．By reading people’s thoughts. D．By following voice commands.10．What did Iason Batzianoula think of the robot’s AI program?A．Challenging. B．Cost-effective. C．Fruitless. D．Time-consuming.11．What is the text mainly about?A．The development of mind-controlled robots. B．The sufferings of the tetraplegia patients.C．The complexity of the algorithm. D．The promising future of robots.04（2022·山东·威海市教育教学研究中心高二期末）If job seekers knew companies were using AI to fill open positions, would it stop them from applying for the job? The answer, according to a recent study, is yes — sometimes.The researchers found that in certain instances, like the screening (筛选) of applications, participants usually accepted some degree of automation. But in other instances, like interviews, automation could stop job seekers from applying for a position.Companies facing recent labor shortages are increasingly turning to AI as a way to facilitate and speed up the hiring process. AI can be used in tasks such as screening job candidates, checking professional licenses, and interviewing candidates.The new research suggests that using AI in hiring could be quite opposite. For instance, in one part of the study, participants were shown fictional job postings and then asked if they intended to apply for the position. The researchers found that if the job posting said that AI was used both to screen applicants and to conduct interviews, participants’ intention to apply for the position averaged 2.77 on a six-point scale. If AI was used only for the screening process, participants’ intention to apply averaged 3.73.In another experiment, the researchers also found that study participants saw pros and cons in the use of AI in interviewing. When told the hiring would be fully automated, some participants expected the whole hiring process to be more consistent (始终如一的) in its judgments. But others tended to believe that they had less voice in the final outcome. Overall, the study results suggest this concern tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI’s lack of bias (偏见) at the interviewing stage.A mixed approach may be a way to get the best of both worlds. Participants may have been more open to automation earlier in the hiring process because they could see some benefits from using AI — such as less-biased decisions. But during the later stages applicants expect personal interaction, to give them an opportunity to sell themselves and to learn more about the company.12．Why do companies increasingly turn to AI in hiring?A．To attract more applicants. B．To boost hiring process.C．To pick out top candidates. D．To solve labor shortages.13．In which part do participants prefer automation?A．Screening job candidates. B．Interviewing candidates.C．Grading professional licenses. D．Predicting final outcomes.14．What does the underlined part refer to in Paragraph 5?A．Less AI involvement. B．Lack of consistent judgments.C．Less-biased decisions. D．Lack of personal interaction.15．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Hi-tech is a two-edged sword.B．AI finds its way to hiring process.C．Automation may discourage job seekers.D．A mixed approach should be adopted in hiring.05（2022·安徽·高三开学考试）“Robots are ready to replace millions of humans in various industries. But they're nowhere close to being human-like,” said Blake Hannaford, a robotics professor at the University of Washington in Seattle.So far, robots don't really look or act like the sensitive beings described throughout science fiction. Rather, these basic machines are tasked with carrying out simple tasks that promote productivity around the workplace or factory. We are still decades away from a future where robots carry out more difficult and meaningful tasks.But other aspects continue to have a significant influence on robotics. Robots are already performing some human functions. In everyday terms, that means your smartphone can do more with the same battery life. It also means quicker advances in artificial intelligence—things like computer vision and natural language processing that help robots “see” and learn.Going forward, Hannaford said, robots will “free up people's brains” to perform other, more complex tasks. “There’s going to be a lot of people who fall by the wayside,” he said of the countless jobs that will be automated or disappear entirely.More than 120 million workers worldwide (11.5 million in the U.S.) will need retraining just in the next few years due to replacement caused by artificial intelligence and robots, according to a recent IBM Institute for Business Values study. Not all of them will get that retraining, of course, but the ones who do will be more likely to gain new types of jobs brought by the robot revolution.But some experts say the more robots surpass humans, the more humans will be expected to keep up.“The way we have to start thinking about robots is not as a threat, but as something that we can work with in a co-operative way,” Hannaford said. “A lot of it is changing our own attitudes.”16．What can we infer from what Hannaford said?A．Robots will help make life easier for all of us.B．We'll see some jobs taken over entirely by robots.C．Robots are at a stage of being human-like.D．It is likely that we will be wiped out by robots.17．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Robots in science fiction closely resemble us.B．Robots can carry out complex actions automatically.C．Humans will be replaced by robots in the near future.D．The development of robots has a long way to go.18．What does the underlined word “surpass” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．Complete fewer tasks than. B．Do better than.C．Make more mistakes than. D．Get more retraining than.19．What attitude should we have towards robots according to Hannaford?A．Positive. B．Opposed.C．Uncaring. D．Doubtful.  参考答案：1．A    2．D    3．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是有史以来第一个获得国家公民身份的机器人索菲亚。1．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Her human features are what make her so easy to fall in love with.
