【題目】Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.

The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’ t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.

Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.

Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’ s “ Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’ s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “ We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

【1】How are social robots different from household robots?

A. They can control their emotions.

B. They are more like humans.

C. They do the normal housework.

D. They respond to users more slowly.

【2】What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?

A. Communicate with you and perform operations.

B. Answer your questions and make requests.

C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.

D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.

【3】We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.

A. train employees

B. be our workmates

C. improve technologies

D. take the place of workers

【4】What does the passage mainly present?

A. A new design idea of household robots.

【題目】 A video of a three-year-old girl being kicked by her own mother during a photo shot went viral on Thursday, indicating China’s underperformance in regulating the emerging child modeling industry.

The girl, known as Niu Niu, was physically abused (虐待) by her mother in several videos. The videos have annoyed Chinese media and Internet users alike. Many netizens and scholars call for local authorities to carry out further investigations into possible child abuse.

In response to the public outcry (強烈抗議), Niu Niu’s mother issued an apology via Sina Weibo on Thursday, condemning accusations of abuse. She noted that she was merely guiding her daughter for better shots and the girl is well looked after.

Despite her apology, many E-shops which used Niu Niu’s images for brand promotion have canceled their cooperation with the mother, while over 110 well-known child garment shops on Taobao have signed up for a campaign to provide better protection for child models.

“It is necessary to adopt comprehensive laws and regulations to further protect the kids, preventing their parents and companies from exploiting them,” Fang Zhiqing, a lawyer and child protection expert, said.

Niu Niu is not alone. In Zhili, a small town in Zhejiang province, thousands of children from across China are taken here by their parents to seize the chance of fame. With a population of 450,000, Zhili has over 13,000 manufacturers of child clothing. In 2017.the town earned over 7 billion yuan by selling clothing for children online, thus providing opportunities for child models.

“China’s current advertisement law isn’t workable with respect to the industry of child modeling, as it lacks clear regulatory measures and clear legal punishment.” Fang added, “It is important to issue new laws which regulate child modeling.”

【1】What caused the public outcry?

A.A girl being physically abused by her mother.

B.Problems in Chinese advertising industry.

C.Several cases of child abuse in recent China.

D.Videos showing how child models work.

【2】What happened after the public outcry?

A.Local authorities have thoroughly looked into Niu Niu’s case.

B.Niu Niu’s mother admitted abusing her daughter.

C.Shops stopped their cooperation with the mother.

D.The online sales of child clothing are increasing.

【3】Which opinion may Fang Zhiqing agree with?

A.China’s current advertisement law isn’t workable.

B.There are too many child models in China.

C.New economic laws should be issued in China.

D.China should regulate child modeling.

【題目】Asia’s mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the world’s great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.

Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5°C. Earth’s surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.

The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5°C. The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.

“Even if temperatures stabilize at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”

A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2°C. For 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C.

【1】What is stressed about Asia’s mountain glaciers in the first paragraph?

A. The reason for its melting.

B. Its importance.

C. Its geographical condition.

D. The consequences caused by its decrease.

【2】What do we know about the temperature on the earth’s surface?

A. It keeps up its normal level.

B. It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.

C. It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.

D. It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.

【3】How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?

A. Hold global warming under 2°C.

B. Try to save water as much as we can.

C. Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.

D. Make the global temperature stable at its current level.

【4】How does the author develop the passage?

A. Giving examples. B. Describing.

C. Presenting data. D. Comparing.
