And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated (复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms (演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality，” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determined their personality traits with “well­established questionnaires” for determining the personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits, such as “neuroticism, extraversion (外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as curiosity”，the scientists wrote.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high­tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines，” Loetscher said.“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non­verbal information，” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。1．What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Understand.　　　 B．Stare at.C．Search for. D．Concern about.A　[词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul”，并结合对第一段的整体理解可推知，此处peer into与第一段中的“read”呼应，故选A。]2．How did the researchers conduct the research?A．It was carried out in a lab.B．42 subjects' eye movements were recorded.C．The students' daily movements were tracked.D．Its subjects' personalities were determined by computer.B　[细节理解题。根据对第三段的整体理解可知，这项研究是通过追踪42个研究对象并记录他们的眼球运动来开展的，故选B。]3．According to Tobias Loetscher, what can we know?A．Robots and computers are socially conscious.B．People care less about improved, personalized services.C．Today's robots and computers can accustom to non­verbal information.D．The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.D　[细节理解题。根据对倒数第三段的整体理解可知，这项研究发现有助于改善人类和机器的互动，故选D。]4．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Human Personality TraitsB．What Human Eye Movements AreC．Tell Personalities by Eye MovementsD．How Humans and Machines InteractC　[标题判断题。根据第一段开篇点题，并结合对全文的整体理解可推知，本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究，故选C。]B(2019·大连市一模)It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Head Start” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into preschool institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing, because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Head Start” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child's first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four­year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socioeconomic statuses, ages and family structures. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socioeconomic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds or family structures. The one factor that was found to affect the child's development was the poor quality of parent­child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Head Start” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.【语篇解读】　本文主要通过对比两项侧重点不同的教育项目表明，要实现教育公平就应该关注对父母的教育，使其与孩子之间进行高品质互动，并且意识到孩子出生后前三年的重要性。5．What caused the failure of the “Head Start” program?A．The large number of poor families.B．The disapproval from children.C．The late start of the program.D．The long period of time.C　[细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“But the results have been disappointing, because the program began too late”可知，Head Start项目的失败是因为其开始得太晚了。]6．What do we know about the “Missouri” program?A．It focused on the children's first school teachers.B．It helped the children return to the same home.C．It made the children improved in many aspects.D．It gave the parents advice on their development.C　[推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers”可推知，Missouri项目让参与的孩子们在许多方面都有改善。]7．According to the passage, what is likely to influence children's performance?A．The number of family members.B．The parent­child communication.C．The intelligence of their parents.D．The teacher­student relationship.B　[细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“The one factor that was found to affect the child's development was the poor quality of parent­child interaction”可知，父母和孩子之间的交流质量是影响孩子发展的因素之一。故选B。]8．How does the author develop the passage?A．By listing figures.B．By making comparisons.C．By presenting ideas.D．By drawing conclusions.B　[篇章结构题。通读全文内容可知，本文是通过对比两个侧重点不同的教育项目， 从而组织文章的，故选B。]Ⅱ.完形填空(2019·福州市质量抽测)Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank­you note expressing   1   for kindness.
