资源简介 UNIT 4 单元仿真验收性评价(时间:100分钟 满分:120分) 第一部分:阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AAre you interested in hi tech products Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.CX 1Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports Then you might want to consider CX 1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he/she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX 1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase's location.It is expected to be sold on the market by late March.AiboThe latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing — but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behaviour that pleases its master the most.Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.ForpheusForpheus is an “athletic” robot developed by a Japanese technology company. It teaches users how to play ping pong. The 10 feet tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball's speed and can predict the ball's direction correctly.The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player's abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.Black Box VRThough many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures — all while getting exercise.1.What is the feature of CX 1 A.It can be opened by facial expressions.B.It can recognize and follow its owner.C.It can move very fast in busy places.D.It can sense the suitcase's location.2.Who would most probably want an Aibo A.People who want to walk a dog.B.People who often play tricks on others.C.People who want to take high quality photographs.D.People who want a dog but can't look after a real one.3.Which product can help people do physical exercise regularly A.CX 1. B.Aibo.C.Forpheus. D.Black Box VR.BMax Du won the Canada Wide Science Fair. His project is a drone (无人机) to save people who go into cardiac (心脏的) arrest. Max got the inspiration during a holiday break last year. “I got a toy drone from my parents, but I couldn't fly it because it is snowy,” Max said.“So I played with it at home, and it got me thinking how a drone could be used as an indoor robot that could help people.”About 35,000 people have cardiac arrests in Canada each year. Most of those happen outside of a hospital, of whom fewer than 10 percent survive.Max believed a drone could offer faster support and life saving medicine, but he had to build it himself to know for sure.Testing his drone took about six months. Max's parents had to deal with their son's constantly flying and crashing in the home. Every time Max would create an exciting innovation, such as an extendable arm, it would add extra weight to his drone, causing it to break apart. Then Max would have to buy all new parts. Max tested using more lightweight materials until his design was more balanced.Through trial and error, the 14 year old boy finally got it right. His drone can open a door handle, fly in the air and then land softly on the ground. A new extendable arm can be released to administer a shot or hand a patient life saving medicine. A built in camera could directly have a conference with an emergency response team whose members could monitor the patient remotely.Max plans on applying for a patent (专利) so he can make connections in the health care industry to get it made for real. He's spent his summer learning about artificial intelligence at California's Stanford University as one of 32 kids selected worldwide. He'll head next to the University of Pennsylvania to take a college level robotics class before returning to high school in September.4.Why did Max Du design a drone by himself A.He had sympathy for those with heart attacks.B.He had nothing to do in holidays.C.He wanted to use it to help his parents.D.He tried to make it fly in the snow.5.What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3 A.Most of the people with cardiac arrests in Canada can survive.B.Max's parents were unwilling to help during his drone design.C.It's very important to control the balance of the drone.D.Max's design of the extendable arm is very smooth.6.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about A.The instructions for using the drone.B.The reason for applying for a patent.C.The process of Max's success.D.The functions of the new drone.7.Which of the following can best describe Max A.Considerate and brave. B.Talented and creative.C.Clever and honest. D.Helpful and loyal.CNever play games with a bot (robot) — it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide and seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help win.Bowen Baker at OpenAI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans.The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide and seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn't communicate with each other directly.At first, the hiders simply ran away. But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team player — passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout — was the quickest way to win.But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults.Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above.Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside.“It shows that AI bots are able to find solutions that humans miss,” says Baker.“Maybe they'll even be able to solve problems that humans don't yet know how to.” However, it is a large leap from virtual hide and seek to real problem solving.“The main limitation is that it is in simulation,”says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University.8.Why did Bowen and his colleagues conduct the research A.To teach bots to play games.B.To train bots to use basic tools.C.To find if bots may cheat like humans.D.To see the potential of bots' cooperation.9.What's the third paragraph mainly about A.The tools of the research.B.The design of the research.C.The competitors of the game.D.The environment of the game.10.What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to A.Passing objects.B.Moving boxes around.C.Making use of faults.D.Hiding themselves from view.11.What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research A.It can bridge a gap in the AI research.B.It will not be influenced by the real world.C.It will definitely help the real problem solving.D.It may not be realized out of the virtual world.DIt's never too late to get into science fiction.While science fiction, or sci fi, often asks that most powerful question “What if?” — it also deals with “This, now”: reflecting it, questioning it and satirizing (讽刺) it. Science fiction can act at once as a glimpse into our imaginary future while holding a mirror up to our current state of society.Indeed, it can act as a warning for the present to avoid a terrifying future or as a blueprint for future technology. Science fiction can inspire us to live better today so that we can live better lives tomorrow. As Scientific Americans noted, “Science fiction can remind us of ... wonder and hope. But it also sends us a warning — to think about the potential influences of our findings, beyond our idealistic dreams.”Thanks to its brilliant creators, sci fi becomes the perfect genre to ask the greatest questions that humans dare to ask and broaden the concepts of what is possible in the universe. Who are we and what can we become Can technology make the world a better place What will tomorrow bring — and what can we do today to make that a reality The genre of sci fi can push the boundaries of what we think is possible, like the legendary submarine mentioned in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea far before any such vehicle existed. Or it can warn us of a near future impacted by biotechnology, as in the MaddAddam Trilogy. Sci fi can even imagine how Earth responds to first contact with aliens, a focus of The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. Sci fi and its creators know no limits to what can be imagined. Anything is possible.As science fiction grows in popularity, more books are being written, and more movies and TV shows are adapting these works for the screen. An adaptation of Dune is slated for a release, and The Three Body Problem as well as MaddAddam are also in development. The medium of film and television has brought science fiction to life and continues to inspire — or scare — viewers with visions of the future.12.What can science fiction act as A.A mirror of reflecting “What if”.B.A wonder of science technology.C.A vision of the future.D.A tool of broadening all concepts.13.How does the author describe the topic of the 5th paragraph A.By giving examples.B.By listing statistics.C.By making comparisons.D.By classifying facts.14.How many sci fi novels are mentioned in the text A.3 B.4 C.5 D.615.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text A.To honor those brilliant science fiction creators.B.To think about the potential influences of sci fi.C.To inspire or scare viewers with visions of the future.D.To encourage readers to get started with science fiction.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后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。Online courses have become popular in many countries.

TourLast weekend I participated in a fabulous tech exploration tour in the city science museum organized by our school.It kicked off with an exhibition of the history of Chinese science, unfolding the awe striking wisdom behind.What followed was a hands on experience, which uncovered the secrets of science.With a lecture on the prospect of science, the tour was brought to an end.Not only did the tour instill a sense of pride in our scientific advances into me, but it also planted in my heart a seed of scientific exploration.Anybody who shares the same feeling Anticipating your comments!第二节 参考范文:Many experts think that robots can't be in place of all human jobs, so robots need to work alongside with humans.The majority of jobs that have been displaced or that are at risk for being displaced are process driven jobs.These are positions that can easily be automated, such as manufacturing, customer service and transportation.Robots can't take the place of the jobs that require a personal or creative touch.Displaced workers could potentially get retrained to apply their skills elsewhere.A displaced customer service employee knows how to solve problems and be efficient.They could potentially reskill building on their existing skills and work in a different area.Even employees who aren't at risk for being displaced should expand their skills.People move between jobs more often these days, and that provides opportunities to expand their skills.The most prepared employees take advantage of online courses, community college classes and industry seminars to expand their skills and even get certifications in new areas.Many companies already provide training and reskilling for their employees.Perhaps more organizations and governments need to follow in their footsteps.
