21、   Nao, a small robot, looks like a person. If Nao begged you not to shut it off, what would you do?

Scientists did a study to see how people treat robots that act like people. Eighty-nine people volunteered for the study. They were asked to help to improve Nao’s social skills by finishing two tasks with it.

The tasks with the robot didn’t matter, though. What the scientists really wanted to see was how the participants reacted once the tasks were over. They were asked to talk with Nao and finally shut Nao off but it was not easy to do. Some people did not want to turn the robot off while others took a long time to do it.

People often communicate with non-human objects such as TVs and computers nowadays. But robots seem more like humans. Robots can show social characters themselves, like speaking with human voices or taking the shape of a human body. Scientists said people might have seen Nao’s cries as a sign of independent thought. In turn, this could have led people to see the robot as having the human-like character.

For thousands of years,humans lived in a world where they were the only ones who could have conversations. Our brains learned to react to social situations in a certain way. But our brains are not used to telling the difference between real people and fake people. The robot expressed feelings and desires and that got people to want to treat the robot as if it were alive.

【1】Why did scientists use Nao in the study?

A．To learn about how people react to robots.

B．To communicate with humans.

C．To help people finish their daily tasks.

D．To improve people’s social skills.

【2】What did participants do when asked to turn off Nao?

A．All of them refused to turn it off.

B．Not all of them took action immediately.

C．All of them found it hard to operate it.

D．All of them followed the order soon.

【3】Compared with TVs, robots________.

A．are more similar to humans

B．often depend on humans

C．have independent thought

D．know well about different voices

【4】What can we know about our brains?

A．They are much cleverer than robots.

B．They can recognize fake people.

C．They can ’t tell the difference between real people and fake people.

D．They teach robots to show their feelings.

23、If you are looking for recommendations on biographies(传记) that will educate you, comedies that will make your belly ache or stories that present the unique challenges women face every day, read on.

“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen

A classic that never gets old. Set in rural England in the early 19th century, this tale centers around the Bennet family, a family of five daughters and their two parents who are desperate to find at least one of the daughters a wealthy match. Austen’s story focuses on the tension between marrying for love instead of just for power and fame, and also the unique pressure on women to find financial security by way of marriage at the time.

“Women in Science:50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World” by Rachel Ignotofsky

It is a sweetly illustrated and educational book that highlights the contributions of 50 women in the fields of technology, science, engineering and mathematics, from present day all the way back to 360 AD.

“Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls” by Elena Favilli

It tells the stories of female heroes from years ago and present day. With color portraits and biographies that are short and sweet, this book is a page-turner for anyone wanting to learn about influential women in the past and present.

“Becoming”by Michelle Obama

We wouldn’t be able to write this list without including Michelle Obama’s memoir. “Becoming” has the former FLOTUS discussing her childhood, family, motherhood, her own FLOTUS impact, the pressures of being part of the first Black family in the White House and balancing her public life now.

24、   Growing up in poverty can have long-term negative consequences for children. Now, a study offering unconditional cash to a group of mothers on low incomes in the US is beginning to discover the precise role of parental income in child development. It is the first randomised trial to look at whether a basic income might affect the way a child’s brain develops in this critical period.

We know that the first few years of a child’s life are the most influential for their development. Brain development is particularly rapid in early childhood and therefore more likely to be influenced by the environment.

Studies of children born into families with low incomes have found they tend to have more behavioural problems and are behind their peers when they start school. However, it isn’t clear whether low income directly leads to these outcomes, or whether they are a result of other factors associated with growing up in poverty.

To find out, Kimberly Noble at Columbia University in New York City and her colleagues approached women on low incomes who had just given birth at four sites in the US. The team is measuring several things throughout the study. At each yearly follow-up, children are assessed for measures like sleep quality, developmental milestones, overall health and emotional development. One unique aspect of the study is the use of mobile EEG headsets to monitor the infants’  brain activity in their home environments.

Almost $4 million has been given out through the study so far. Though it is too early to draw full conclusions, some preliminary results are already of interest. For example, some of the parents have allowed the researchers to keep track of their transactions. Those in the high-cash group appear to be spending more on books for their children, and spending more time reading together, according to surveys the team conducted. This is potentially good news because reading to infants is known to be good for cognitive development, vocabulary and promoting important bonds between adults and children.

Eventually, the findings could help with policy interventions to assist children born into poverty, or even to find ways to buffer against the effects of poverty later in life.

【1】The passage mainly intends to tell us that ________.

A．the early years of a child’s life are the most influential

B．money affects brain development in one’s childhood

C．women should earn more to promote children’s development

D．comprehensive measures are to be taken to assist the children

【2】The unconditional cash given out brings positive consequences possibly because ________.

A．the family can live a carefree life with the cash

B．the family can offer the children more nutrition

C．it helps to offer better environment for the children

D．it provides more time for the family to get together

【3】The underlined phrase “buffer against” in the last paragraph may mean ________.

A．transform

B．cause

C．accelerate

D．prevent

【4】How were the conclusions of the study proved?

A．By making questionnaires.

B．By taking randomised trials.

C．By giving participants interviews.

D．By doing follow-up researches.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。

When I hear people showing off of a work as yet undone, and trying to anticipate the credit which belongs only to actual achievement! Call to mind that scene by the riverside and the wise caution of my uncle. Our uncle who lived with us was a quiet, good-natured man, much given to hunting and fishing; and it was one of the pleasures of our young life to accompany him on his trips to Great Hill, Brandy-brow Woods, the Pond, and, best of all, to the Country Brook. We were quite willing to work hard in the cornfield or the dry grass stack (垛) to finish the necessary day’s labor in season for an afternoon wander through the woods and along the riverside.

I remember my first fishing outing as if it were but yesterday. I have been happy many times in my life, but never more intensely so than when I received that first fishing pole from my uncle’s hand, and walked with him through the woods and grasslands. It was a still, sweet day of early summer; the long afternoon shadows of the trees lay cool across our path; the leaves seemed greener, the flowers brighter, the birds merrier, than ever before.

My uncle, who knew by long experience where the best spots of fish were, considerately placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and waited anxiously for a bile, moving the bait (诱饵) in rapid drags on the surface of the water to copy the leap of a frog. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle. Suddenly he bait sank out of sight. “Now for it,” thought I; “here is a fish at last.” I made a strong pull, and brought up a mess of weeds. Again and again 1 cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle appealingly. “Try once more,” he said; “we fishermen must have patience.”
