1 Unit 5 Travelling abroad 李仕才 ***阅读理解。 A Japanese telecom company has released a robot that it says has emotions. But rather than running in fear from it, we’ve welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the “emotional robot”, sold out within a minute of going on sale. Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBank, Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan on June 20. It is “the first humanoid(类 人的) robot designed to live with humans, ” Aldebaran says on its website. Pepper costs about $1, 600. And like all good mobile products, there’s a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. According to a news release, Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create its own using a “multi-layer neural(神 经的) network. ” Pepper’s touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood, which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest. Pepper will sigh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your family’s daily activity. Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness, ” but it doesn’t say how strongly it can feel these emotions. What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it, like many humans, become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone? What happens if it figures out that its purpose in life is just to engage in small talks? Thankfully, Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owner, you’ll be safe if you can make it upstairs. Aldebaran says in reality, there’re probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. Aldebaran wasn’t immediately available for comment on when Pepper will be available outside of Japan, but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1, 000 units sell out. SoftBank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future. Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel. 2 【文章大意】本文介绍日本的一家电信公司发布了第一台“情感机器人”, 阐述了情感机器 人的使用费用、功能以及发展前景。 1. According to the author, Pepper ________. A. is very popular among customers B. can not only run but also show fear C. is going to be sold all over the world D. can deal with many kinds of housework 【解析】选 A。细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容 Pepper, the “emotional robot”, sold out within a minute of going on sale. (Pepper, 情感机器人, 在销售几分钟之内就卖完了) 可知 Pepper 非常受消费者欢迎。 2. How much do you need to pay for Pepper’s data fee and damage insurance fee each year? A. 80 dollars. B. 120 dollars. C. 1, 440 dollars. D. 2, 400 dollars. 【解析】选 D。数字计算题。根据第二段内容 there’s a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. 可知, 每年用于 Pepper 的 data fee and damage insurance fee 为(120+80)*12=2 400。故答案为 D。 3. Pepper’s height and roller balls are mentioned to ________. A. introduce its appearance B. tell Pepper won’t get angry C. show that safety isn’t a big issue D. explain robots have strong emotions 【解析】选 C。细节理解题。根据文章第三段中 Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owner, you’ll be safe if you can make it upstairs. 介绍 Pepper 的 height and roller balls 是为了表明安全不是大问题。故答案为 C。 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Pepper cannot produce real emotions. B. Pepper can feel joy, surprise and boredom. C. Pepper will be sold in other countries next year. 3 D. Pepper is being used as a waiter in some restaurants. 【解析】选 A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中 Aldebaran says in reality, there’re probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. 可推断 Pepper 现在是不能产生真正的情感的。故 A 正确。 ***语法填空。 Being a teenager is a very important time in a person's life. “Why？” you may ask.

It lasted from 4：20 pm to 6：00 pm in the auditorium. Students from Grade One and Grade Two are required to attend it. All the English teachers and some honored guests were invited to present. After the headmaster announced the opening of the festival, a guest teacher delivered a warmly speech. He congratulated us on the opening of the ceremony or wished the event great success. Then students from each class took turns to put on some wonderful performance such as singing English songs, street dancing and short plays, all of that were popular among students. The English festival 8 provides a good opportunity to communicate with English. It also enriches my life in a creative way. 答案： The second English Festival of our school was held ① last Tuesday. It lasted from 4：20 pm to 6：00 pm in the auditorium. Students from Grade One and Grade Two are ②were required to attend it. All the English teachers and some honored guests were invited to ∧ ③be present. After the headmaster announced the opening of the festival, a guest teacher delivered a warmly ④warm speech.

Then students from each class took turns to put on some wonderful performance ⑦performances such as singing English songs, street dancing and short plays, all of that ⑧which were popular among students. The English festival provides a good opportunity to communicate with ⑨in English. It also enriches my ⑩our life in a creative way. 难项分析： 第一处：去掉 on 考查介词。在表示时间的名词短语前如有 last, next 等词限定时，前 面不用介词，因此去掉 on。 第六处：great 前加 a 考查冠词。句中的 success 指一件成功的事，为可数名词，因此 要在 great 前加上不定冠词 a。 第八处：that→which 考查定语从句的引导词。逗号后的句子是非限制性定语从句，that 不能引导非限制性定语从句，且关系词指代的先行词为前文提到的各种形式的表演，为物， 因此把 that 改为 which。 ***
