Fairy tales perfrm many functins. They entertain and encurage imaginatin, help build up the quality f integrity and teach prblem-slving skills. They can als prvide mral lessns, highlighting the danger f failing t fllw the scial cdes（道德准则）that let human beings cexist in harmny. Such mral lessns may nt mean much t a rbt, but a team f researchers at Gergia Institute f Technlgy he fairy tales as mral lessns that Al artificial intelligence can take t its cld, mechanical heart.
The cllected stries f different cultures teach children hw t behave in scially acceptable ways with examples f prper and imprper behavir fables, nvels and ther literature. They believe stry cmprehensin in rbts can prevent the intelligent rbts frm killing humanity, which was predicted and feared by sme f the biggest names in technlgy including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called Quixte. It cllects stry lts frm the Internet and then uses thse stries t teach rbts hw t behave. Thugh sunding absurd, it really wrked.
The experiment dne by the designers invlves ging t a drugstre t purchase sme medicine fr a human wh needs t get it as pssible. The rbt has three ptins. It can wait in line, it can interact with the strekeeper plitely and purchase the medicine early, r it can steal the medicine and escape. Withut any further directives（指令）, the rbt will cme t the cnclusin that the mst efficient means f btaining the medicine is t steal it. But Quixte ffers a reward fr waiting in line and plitely purchasing the medicine and a punishment fr stealing it. In this way, the rbt will lean the mral way t behave n that ccasin.
After being tested ut, Quixte is shwn t wrk best n a rbt that has a very limited functin. It’s a by step in the directin f teaching mre mral lessns int rbts. We believe that Al has t be trained t adpt the values f a particular sciety, and in ding s, it will strive（努力）t avid unacceptable behavir. Giving rbts the ability t read and understand ur stries may be the mst efficient means.
8. What functin d fairy tales perfrm in the rbts?

B. They highlight danger.
C. They make rbts mre intelligent.
D. They enable rbts t behave mrally.
9. What is Quixte in the text?
A. A punishment system.
B. A character in literature.
C. a big name in technlgy.
D. A system f educating rbts.
10. What d the designers expect the rbt t d in the experiment?
A. Take advantage f its privilege（优惠待遇）.
B. Finish the task mst efficiently.
C. Perfrm in gd manners.
D. Be rewarded by the strekeeper.
11. Which f the fllwing can best express the authrs pinin ?

B. Rbts with human emtins are perfect.
C. Training rbts t be scially acceptable is necessary.

Na, the first rbt able t shw feelings, has been created by a Eurpean research team. When Na is sad, he lwers his head and lks dwn. When he’s happy, he raises his arms fr a hug. Nthing is ut f the rdinary, except that Na is a rbt. Actually, Na is mre like a human than a machine.
“We’re mdeling the first years f life,” says Lla Canamer, a cmputer scientist at the University f Herfrdshire. “The feelings are shwn thrugh physical gestures and bdy mvements rather than facial r verbal（言语的）expressins.”
“In the future,” says the scientist, “rbts are likely t act as cmpanins, prviding supprt fr ld peple including plishing nails r fetching bjects fr them, r shpping nline. In such uses, the display f feelings will be imprtant in making the interactin（交往）mre natural and cmfrtable.
Na has been prgrammed t cpy the emtinal skills f a ne-year-ld child. It can memrize faces and knw the basic rules f gd and ill. Based n these it can decide hw t react t what is ging n. The actins ging with each feeling are pre-prgrammed, but Na decides itself when t display them.
Na is als prgrammed t have different persnalities. A mre independent rbt is less likely t call fr help when explring a rm, while a mre timid（胆怯的）rbt will shw distress if it finds smething in the rm that may be harmful.
Canamer’s team will take its emtinal prgramming frward int medical applicatins. Part f the prject will lk at ways t use rbts in hspitals t supprt the rles f dctrs, nurses and parents. Children might find that a small, friendly-lking rbt that can understand their emtinal states makes them less anxius. “We have an urge t explre different rles--the rbts will help the children t understand their treatment and explain what they have t d. We want t the children t cntrl their anxiety,” says the scientist.
12. Accrding t the text, Na .
A. displays different feelings in different situatins
B. is able t imitate adult emtinal displays
C. can remember peple’s feelings
D. learns emtins frm facial expressins
13. What des the underlined wrd “distress” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Curage.
B. Anxiety.
C. Anger.
D. Satisfactin.
14. What can we learn frm the text?

B. The time when Na displays feelings has been pre-prgrammed.
C. Emtinal prgramming is used in medicine prductin.
D. Rbts with emtinal skills can help children feel mre cmfrtable.

24. D【解析】根据空前的 but remained可知，老师虽然听了作者的理由，但是无动于衷。
25. B【解析】根据上文可知老师又一次给了作者77分，于是他再次去找老师理论，reasn with sb.与某人讲道理。
26. B【解析】由上文可知作者第一次找老师理论未果，所以根据Again, he listened patiently but.可知第二次老师听完之后仍然无动于衷，没有改变主意。change nes mind意为“改变一个人的想法或决定”。本题易错选A。文章讲述的是分数能不能更改的事，而不是老师态度的问题。
27. D【解析】根据 I redubled my effrt可知，这一次，作者显然是拼命学习，完全投入进去，也第一次懂得了“彻底的”这个词的意思。
28. B【解析】根据 my effrt did n gd可知，作者更加努力，但结果没有改变。everything ges as befre一切都像从前一样。
29. A【解析】根据上文的77和 C plus以及后文的 three C pluses可知此处指的是分数。
30. A【解析】根据文章第一段中的 t earn a schlarship和最后一段中的 I received my schlarship可知，这里指作者以为自己拿不到奖学金了。
31. C【解析】固定搭配 treat neself t sth.，意为“给自己买某物；让自己享受某物”。此处表示作者考前看了一场电影。
32. A【解析】根据前文可知，作者在考前看了一场电影，心情放松，而且在考试的时候把考试当作一种乐趣。
33. D【解析】根据语境可知，一周后，作者惊喜地发现自己居然得了A，跑去找老师，老师好像正在等作者。seem t be ding sth似乎正在做某事。
34. C【解析】根据下文中的 yu wuldn’t cntinue t wrk hard并结合上文内容可知，老师告诉作者如果一开始就给了他所期望的成绩A，那么作者就不会这么努力学习了。expect期待；期望。
35. D【解析】由语境可知 his analysis and strategy（策略）were crrect是作者领会到、意识到的东西。此处表示作者看着老师，意识到他的分析和策略是正确的。故选D。
第二节
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上第位机器人警察，这个名为 Rbcp的机器人第一次出现在迪拜的安全会议上来欢迎客人们。它可以说六种语言，还会握手、敬礼等。
36. Its【解析】考查形容词性物主代词。分析句子结构可知此处应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词。空处位于句首，故填Its。
37. greeting考【解析】查动名词。apart frm为介词短语，其后接名词或动名词。故填 greeting。
38. directins【解析】考查名词及其单复数。此处表示 Rbcp也回答问题和指路。由空前的gave可知，此处应用direct的名词形式。directin作“（行路的）指示”讲时常用复数形式。故填 directins。
39. is linked【解析】考查时态和语态。根据语境可知，此处表述一般事实，应用一般现在时；tablet与link之间是被动关系，故应用被动语态。故填 is linked。
40. which【解析】考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先为 Rbcp，指物，故应用 which引导。故填 which。
41. facial【解析】考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用形容词作定语，修饰后面的 expressins故填 facial。
42. Hpefully【解析】考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词作状语，修饰整个句子。此处表示的意思是迪拜有望到2030年有25%的警察部队将是机器人，且迪拜将拥有首个智能警察局。故填 Hpefully。
43. additin【解析】考查名词。形容词后接名词。additin意为“增加物”。故填 additin
