21、   If your friend says she feels relaxed, but you see that she closes her hands into fists, you may doubt her words. Robots, however, might believe her. Body language says a lot, but robots have great difficulty in observing tiny body movements and can miss important social signals as a result.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University developed a body-tracking system that might help solve this problem. The system called OpenPose can track body movement in real time. One important quality of the OpenPose system is that it can track not only a person's head, body, arms and legs but also his fingers. To do that, the researchers used a dome （圆顶状物）lined with 500 cameras, where they recorded body movements at different angles and then used those pictures to build a data set.

They then passed those pictures through a keypoint detector to identify and label specific body parts. The software also learns to connect the body parts with different people, so it knows, for example, that a particular person's hand will always be close to his or her upper arm. This makes it possible to track multiple people at once.

The pictures from the dome were recorded in 2D. But the researchers used 3D technology to help the system understand how each movement appears from different angles. With all of this data processed, the system can determine how the whole hand looks even if some fingers cannot be seen.

Now that the system has this data set to draw from, it can run with just one camera and one computer. It no longer requires the camera-lined dome to determine body poses, making the technology mobile and accessible.

The researchers say this technology could be used for interactions between humans and machines. It could play a huge role in VR （虚拟现实）experiences, allowing finer detection of the user's physical movement without any added hardware. It could also help with more natural interactions with a home robot. You could tell your robot to “pick that up"， and it could easily understand what you're pointing at. By interpreting your physical gestures, the robot may even learn to read emotions by tracking body language. So when you' re silently crying with your face in your hands because a robot has taken your job, it might offer you a tissue.

【1】What does the underlined words “this problem" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Humans are addicted to technology.

B．Human-robot relationship is poor.

C．Robots show too much trust in humans.

D．Robots fail to interpret physical gestures.

【2】What do we know about OpenPose?

A．It tracks one person at a time.

B．It can track slight body movements.

C．It uses a dome to recognize people.

D．It can take 500 pictures in one second.

【3】What makes OpenPose easy to use?

A．The data set.

B．3D technology.

C．A powerful computer.

D．A camera-lined dome.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．What robots are expected to do in the future?

B．Why is body language so important?

C．Robots learn to read body language.

D．Robots can and will change our lives.

22、In 2006, documents were published by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They suggested that cloned animals and cloned animal products would be allowed into the American food supply.

The FDA has stated that cloned animal products are safe for consumption, and has performed many studies to support this view. In fact, products from cloned animals have already been eaten by some Americans without ill effects. The FDA analyzed the structure(结构)and content of cloned animal products and compared it with that of traditionally reproduced animals, and discovered no statistical difference between the two.

Consumers raised serious concerns about cloned animals. The first is the question of whether or not cloned tissue and animal products are truly safe. The second is that many clones are also genetically modified(转基因的)animals, which the FDA has said are unsafe for human consumption. The third is that consumers want to be able to choose what they put into their bodies.

The first concern about cloned animals is almost unnecessary due to the price of producing a clone. Making a clone needs hard work and is very costly. These clones live spoiled lives because they are very valuable, despite biologists' warning that cloned animals decrease diversity.

The second concern, about genetic modification of cloned animals, is more problematic. It may be very difficult to separate genetically modified animals from normal ones. The purpose of genetically modified cloned animals is unclear, and the FDA hasn't allowed their products onto the market, due to health concerns, but the risk of genetic pollution of healthy animals still exists.

Finally, the matter of choice is a large one. Many animal rights activists are worried about clone rights because cloned or not, the animals still have lives. Other consumers are simply trying to eat healthy foods, and have doubts about the cloned animals. If the FDA does not make labeling (贴标签)laws, people may not be able to make informed choices about their food.

【1】Why did the FDA allow cloned animal products for consumption?

A．They appeal to consumers very much.

B．They differ from traditional animal products.

C．They taste better than normal animal products.

D．They have been proved safe in several aspects.

【2】What do we know about producing clones of animals?

A．It takes much more efforts and money.

B．It provides some new medical benefits.

C．It needs less time than raising animals.

D．It helps increase the diversity of animals.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Cloned animals should be forbidden to enter market.

B．Cloned animals should have the same rights as humans.

C．Laws should be made to protect people's right to choose food.

D．Animal rights activists are strongly against cloned animal products.

【4】What's the text mainly about?

A．Doubts about cloned animals rights.

B．Discussions about how to clone animals.

C．Concerns about animal cloning technology.

D．Worries about cloned animal consumption.

23、It is not uncommon for people to say they have no sense of direction. The sense of direction represents the ability to find one’s way. In other words, it is about getting from point A to point B without a hitch. The journey begins with determining the initial position using landmarks in the environment. It’s really about choosing a route and following it. It is also a question of testing that this same route is the correct one, with the mental representation of space or the help of tools such as maps. Finally, the ability to identify the point of arrival is obviously very important.

In a study published in 2009, scientist Giuseppe Iaria, a scientist of the University of Calgary (Canada), who specializes cognitive neural (认知神经) networks indicated that people lacking a sense of direction have a special condition: Developmental Topographical Disorientation (DTD).

The sense of direction requires large neural networks for proper functioning, according to the expert. However, the fact is that a majority of people are unable to put a map in their head while on the move. In her book Mind in Motion (2019), Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University (USA) Barbara Tversky explains how most people do it.

She introduces a combination of methods. It’s a mix of turn-by-turn directions, bird’s-eye views and general information in the form of maps. However, it should be noted that most medium-complexity navigation (导航) directions depend in part on the ability of people to understand the perspective of a map. In other words, people without a sense of direction follow a route in pieces. Thus, they have no expanded understanding for space and navigate their environment without any mental map of their destinations.

However, there is a solution, namely to guide the person through a series of short routes.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “without a hitch” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．With ease.

B．By oneself.

C．In a short time.

D．Without hesitation.

【2】What is the cause of going short of a sense of direction?

A．Being unable to put a map at hand.

B．Expanded understanding for space.

C．Lack of guiding through short routes.

D．Neural networks’ improper functioning.

【3】What could be a challenge for someone without a sense of direction?

A．Reading a map.

B．Forming a map in mind.

C．Following a route in pieces.

D．Finishing a series of short routes.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Mental map contributes to the sense of direction.

B．Having no sense of direction is merely an excuse.

C．Most people have long routes in their mind.

D．People with a sense of direction don’t need a map.

24、Hot Spots for Retirees to Start Their Encore Career
