21、   A raised eyebrow, a puzzled look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressions computers could soon be using to read people’s minds.

An emotionally aware” computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able to read an individuals thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings.

“The system we have developed allows a wide range of mental states to be identified just by pointing a video camera at someone, “ said Professor Peter Robinson of the University of Cambridge.

He believes the mind-reading computer’s applications could range from improving people’s driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to people’s moods(心情).

“Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods,” he added.

The researchers, who are developing the technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, also hope to get it to accept other inputs such as posture(姿势)and gesture.

“Our research could enable Web sites to tailor advertising or products to your mood,” said Robinson. “For example, a Webcam(网络摄相机) linked with our software could process your image, encode the correct emotional state and send information to a Web site.” It could also be useful in online teaching to show whether someone understands what is being explained and in improving road safety by determining if a driver is confused, bored or tired.

“We are working with a car company, and they believe this will be employed in cars within five years,” Robinson said, adding that a camera could be built into the dashboard(仪表板).

【1】Why is the computer described as “emotionally aware”?

A．It can store your thoughts.

B．It can express its feelings.

C．It thinks the same way as you.

D．It knows what you are feeling.

【2】Which word can best replace the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 4?

A．Suit.

B．Turn.

C．Devote.

D．Reduce.

【3】What is the purpose of the camera to be built into the dashboard of a car?

A．To identify the driver’s mental state.

B．To help the driver learn driving skills.

C．To send traffic information to a Web site.

D．To record the driver’s facial movements.

【4】In introducing the mind-reading computer, the text focuses on       .

A．its development

B．its designers

C．its applications

D．its working process

22、   We all feel anxious from time to time. For many, these uncertain times are a contributor to stress and concern. Anxiety is a normal reaction to a stressful situation, but if feelings of anxiety last a long time or keep returning, you might be experiencing an anxiety disorder.

Dave Smithson from Anxiety UK explains that there are three different aspects of anxiety: physical (how you feel), psychological (what you think), and behavioral (what you do). ” Physical symptoms include an increased heart rate or muscle tension, breathing heavily or dizziness. Psychological symptoms include feelings that you might lose control, faint or think people are looking at you and noticing your anxiety. Behavioral aspects include avoiding the situation that makes you feel anxious. “Those who are usually outgoing may become withdrawn, or those who are reserved may become erratic,” he says. “Everyone’s different, and anxiety can be caused by a range of things.”

Stephen Buckley, from mental health charity Mind, says talking to someone you trust can be helpful. If this isn’t possible, you could call a confidential helpline such as Mind’s Infoline, or those run by Anxiety UK and Samaritans.

Learning to relax through breathing exercises and other techniques can help manage anxiety. “Keeping a record of what started the anxiety and what helps it to pass, such as slowing your breathing or getting outdoors for a walk, can help you understand and spot patterns early on,” Stephen says. Relaxation techniques can include exercises to release tension in your body by relaxing your muscles. Drawing calming circles on paper with coloured pencils or pens is a way to distract you from worrying thoughts.

Other recommendations from Mind include connecting with other people. “This is a vital way of maintaining wellbeing” Stephen adds. “Have regular chats with friends and family over the phone. Talking to people in the same boat can be reassuring. Many people find it helpful to share ideas about how to stay well, connect with others and feel less alone.”

【1】What symptom do people with an anxiety disorder have in common?

A．A strong tendency to avoid meeting people.

B．A temporary decline in thinking ability.

C．A lasting feeling of tension and worry.

D．A violent reaction to a tense situation.

【2】How can people manage anxiety effectively according to Stephen?

A．By predicting conditions that may cause anxiety.

B．By communicating with people they rely on.

C．By relieving tension through hard work.

D．By maintaining their routine life.

【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce the strategies of dealing with anxiety.

B．To analyze the contributors to mental disorder.

C．To distinguish anxiety from anxiety disorder.

D．To clarify different categories of anxiety.

23、   A Japanese company has created a “smart” mask that aims to improve communication for people wearing face coverings to prevent the spread of COVTD-19.

The use of face masks has become normal in parts of the world still struggling to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. However, it can affect the quality of communication between wearers.

The wearable electronic device is designed to help improve speech communication in such conditions. The Japanese company Donut Robotics calls its invention the “e-mask”. The device is meant to fit over other kinds of face masks commonly worn by the public.

Made of soft plastic material, it contains a built-in microphone and has holes in the front to let air in. When turned on, the mask uses Bluetooth technology to connect to a mobile device. An app then helps users perform several actions, including turning speech into text, completing telephone calls and making the user's voice louder. The device can also translate a person's voice from Japanese into eight other languages.

Taisuke, the head of Donut Robotics, told the Reuters, “We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used that technology to create a product that responds to how the coronavirus has reshaped society.” He noted that the company raised $265,000 in just the first 37 minutes to develop the smart mask through a campaign on the Japanese crowdfunding service Fundinno. “It would usually take three or four months to get that kind of money,” Taisuke said.

The company produced a working model of the mask within a month by using software developed for its other robot products. The mask design was similar to one created years ago by one of the company's engineers that mapped facial muscles to interpret speech

Taisuke said the company plans to sell its first 5,000 e-masks starting in September, at about $40 per mask, in an effort to enter a global market that newly appeared.

【1】What's the purpose of the new “smart” mask?

A．To help protect people from being struck by COVID-19.

B．To help COVID-19 patients communicate with the doctors.

C．To make it convenient to communicate with face masks on.

D．To translate human thoughts or facial expressions into words.

【2】How does the e-mask perform its function?

A．By connecting to an app on a mobile device.

B．By using Bluetooth to make the user's voice clear.

C．By turning the wearer's dialect into standard language.

D．By being fitted into plastic face masks that people wear.

【3】How did Taisuke probably feel about the company's fundraising result?

A．Somewhat relieved.

B．Greatly encouraged.

C．Slightly confused.

D．Terribly disappointed.

24、British programmer Joshua Browder is helping people save much money on legal fees with his latest project-the world’s first robot lawyer. The 19-year-old first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for unimportant reasons. Having wasted hours writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal knowledge to appeal So he decided to create a robot lawyer, which he named DoNotPay.

DoNotPay was a success, and the tech genius has gone a step further with the website. converting(转变)it into a robot lawyer equipped to help with various legal issues. “The robot can handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/ trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like ‘ I can’t afford my ticket. What do I do?’” said Browder.

To use the service, users need to go to the website DoNotPay.co.uk and sign up for free. Once signed in, the robot will ask the user questions about their situation. When it has collected enough information, and if the person has legal grounds for an appeal, the robot will create a letter for the person to use.

Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University. “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create many individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed with this approach because there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch everyone. The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesn’t matter how the user phrases his or her requests.”

So he programmed the robot to use text comparison that includes keywords, word order and pronouns. And the more people use the robot,the better the algorithm(演算法)gets. But here’re situations where the robot can’t help.” If the robot can’t answer, it provides helpful massage offering the user some sample phrases or the choice of contacting me directly,”

Browder said. “On the backend, whenever the robot can’t answer, I get noticed and work as quickly as possible to add functions for any future requests of a similar nature.”

“I think it does a reasonable job of replacing parking lawyers,” Browder told Tech Insider. “I know there are thousands of programmers with more experience than me working on similar issues. If it is one day possible for any citizen to get the same standard of legal representation as a billionaire, how can that not be a good thing?”

【1】What made Joshua Browder decide to develop the robot lawyer?

A．His interest in law and robot.

B．Being often fined for serious reasons.

C．Realizing people’s need to write appeals.

D．A waste of much money in appealing.

【2】What can the robot lawyer do at present?

A．Deal with some common legal issues.

B．Create a computer program to serve its users.

C．Recommend some useful legal websites to users.

D．Teach the users to write a letter of appeal.

【3】What did Browder’s professors advise him to do about his robot?

A．Store enough legal knowledge in it.

B．Teach it to communicate with its users.

C．Create enough individual rules for it to follow.

D．Enable it to learn and compare phrases on its own.

【4】What is Browder’s attitude to the world’s first robot lawyer?

A．Unclear.

B．Cautious.

C．Proud.

D．Negative.

25、It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son. She’d just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route many times before.

She _______ in the minivan, bruised (撞伤) but mostly just knocked out by the _________ and the airbags.

And then he heard a terrible sound: the bells signaling an oncoming __________.

“The gates were starting to come down,” he told Newsday. “I see the headlight of the train.” DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito’s minivan and knocked on the driver’s side window. She __________ looked at him, her eyes unfocused. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. She     seemed unhurt. “Honey, you’re on the railroad __________,” DiPinto shouted. “We have to get   you off right now!” He pulled hard on the __________, but the door was crashed in and __________. The   heavy diesel train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was moving fast toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the __________. “Please, don’t let her be __________,” he thought.     He pushed aside the deflating (瘪了的) airbags, grabbed Esposito’s arms, and__________her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and quickly get her to ____________ behind a signal box a few feet away. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the minivan. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
