(C)

Ever wondered why your virtual（虚拟的）home helper doesn’t understand your questions? Or why your navigation app took you on the side street instead of the highway?In a study published April 21st in the journal Science,Italian researchers, Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella,designed a robot that “thinks out loud"

To explore how inner speech might influence a robot's actions, the researchers built a robot called Pepper that speaks to itself. It has the ability to reason and think. They then asked people to set the dinner table with Pepper according to etiquette（礼仪）rules.In one experiment, the user asked Pepper to lay the napkin at the wrong place, going against the rules. Pepper started asking itself a sense of self-directed questions and concluded that the user might be mistaken. To be sure, Pepper confirmed the user's order, which led to further inner speech.

“Ehm,this situation troubles me. I would never break the rules, but I can't make the user unhappy,so I'm doing what he wants,” Pepper said to itself, laying the napkin where it was required to be. Through Pepper's inner voice,the user can learn Pepper was facing a difficult situation and solved it by prioritizing the user's order.

Comparing Pepper's actions with and without inner speech,Pipitone and Chella discovered the robot had a higher task-completion rate when having self-dialogue.

However, some people find the robot spends more time completing tasks when it talks to itself.The robot's inner speech is also limited to the knowledge that researchers gave it. Pepper＇s designers still say their work provides a framework（ 构架）to further explore how self-dialogue can help robots focus, plan, and learn.“"In some ways,we are creating a generational（世代的）robot that likes to chat From navigation apps and the camera on your phone to medical robots m the operation rooms,machines and computers alike can take advantage of this chatty feature,"says Chella.

47.Why does the writer ask two questions at the very beginning of the passage?

A.To draw the reader's attention to the topic

B.To show the writer likes electronic products.

C.To tell the reader about the history of robots.

D.To prove the writer often faces trouble in life.

48. Why was Pepper asked to lay the napkin at the wrong place?

A.To see how much time Pepper spent laying the napkin.

B.To confirm how popular Pepper was among its users.

C.To test how many etiquette rules Pepper remembered.

D.To study how self-dialogue might influence Pepper's actions.

49.What does the underlined word "prioritizing"in Paragraph3 mean?

A.repeating

B.dealing with..first

C.going against

D.complaining about

50.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The designers are proud of their work about Pepper.

B. Pepper has already been in use in the operation rooms.

C.Pepper's inner speech depends on its user's communication skills.

D.With or without inner speech,Pepper could complete a task equally well.

五、六选四阅读（共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）。

Watching a friend feel sad about something is hard. 51  This, of course, can leave your friend feeling worse in his her time offered. So what can you say or do when a fiend is sad? Here are some suggestions to help you help your friend.

Just listen.

Devote your full attention to what someone else is saying without talking. It's natural for us to hear what someone is saying and then want to express our own opinions. A friend will be more willing to open up to you if he/ she knows you won't offer advice. Allow your friend to share his/ her feelings and avoid offering advice.

Offer a hug（拥抱）

_52_Offering your friend a hug or just putting your arm around her lets your friend know you're there for her. Women are generally more comfortable with this type of behaviour than men. But if your friend is a man, a soft touch on his back will have the same result.

53   

Your friend might want to be alone with his／her grief（悲伤） for a time and that＇s okay. If that's the case, just being around is enough. Let him/ her know that it's okay if he/ she doesn't want to talk right now but that you'll be there when and if he/ she does.

Be yourself.

If your friend has lost a loved one, his/ her whole world has changed. He/ She needs to be able to count on the few things that haven't changed, like your friendship. You might behave carefully around your friend, or avoid certain topics._   54  Continue to be yourself and, if your friend feels up to it, continue doing the things you enjoy doing together.

Remember sadness will get less over time but never goes away. A piece of your friend is forever changed but your friendship can continue to develop. Offering your friend your time and energy is a gift that he/ she will be forever thankful for.

A.Be quiet.

B. Be present.

C.Body contact can be very helpful

D.Don't change because you think it's what he/ she needs.

E. The wrong choice of words could harm your friendship.

F. You might fear to say wrong things and say nothing at all.
