A(2025·河北秦皇岛模拟)
An experimental pair of gloves,made of thin cotton and fit together in only 20 minutes,may not be fashionable or useful for keeping anyone’s hands warm.Instead,these “smart gloves” created by scientists at MIT serve an entirely different purpose.For a study in Nature Communications,scientists created the gloves using haptic technology,which allows them to provide physical feedback through vibrations(震动) or pressure against the skin.
Scientists used the gloves to record one pianist’s hand movements of playing the piano.These movements were then transferred(传递) to a student through fingertip vibrations,helping the learner build muscle memory and perform the piece better.“Hand-based movements like piano playing are usually subjective and difficult to record and transfer,” one of the scientists says.“But with these gloves,we can track one person’s touch experience and share it with other people to improve their sensory learning process.”
The team used a computerized machine to integrate small wires linked to a pressure-sensing material into the gloves to detect hand motions.When a piano teacher wearing the gloves repeatedly performed a tune,a machine-learning model would process the movement on the keys and translate it into vibrations.Students wearing the gloves then attempted to play the same tune,with the fingertip vibrations guiding them through proper movements.Ultimately,students practicing with the gloves achieved greater precision than those without them.
While playing the piano is often just for fun,the new glove technology,upgraded to identify and record finer hand movements,could someday lead to major critical practices such as surgeries.“Instructional touch feedback contributes to a major step forward in the learning process that audio(音频的) and visual learning can’t,” says Marcia O’Malley,a professor at Rice University.“When vibration is actually felt directly at the point of action,we can act and learn quicker — and with this,there’s so much potential.”
1.What does the underlined word “haptic” in paragraph 1 refer to
A.Cost-effective.　　　　B.Music-detecting.
C.Pressure-relieving. D.Touch-responsive.
2.What are the new gloves used to do
A.Change fingertip vibrations.
B.Provide support for a study.
C.Teach some hands-on skills.
D.Help give piano performances.
3.How can the “smart gloves” benefit students in piano learning
A.By giving instructional vibrations to raise accuracy.
B.By displaying detailed visual feedback on a screen.
C.By helping track students’ steady progress remotely.
D.By enabling precise comparisons of hand movements.
4.What does Marcia think of the gloves
A.They are important for surgeries.
B.Their future applications are broad.
C.Their usage is limited to music.
D.They need to be upgraded further.

Automatic kitchens aren’t just sci-fi scenes from shows.Currently,robots are being used to fry chicken,create pizzas,prepare salads and much more.AI can invent recipes based on what a kitchen has.More advanced concepts are in development to automate kitchens for fine dining.
Since technology tends to be expensive at first,restaurants and other businesses are the first to adopt AI kitchen technologies.Over time,prices are likely to fall,making these technologies accessible to the home market and potentially changing how homes and society function.
The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks,such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours.It can free up time,allowing people to focus on more important tasks.For personalized eating,AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand.
However,there are risks to human well-being.Cooking is a good activity which helps with communication and self-expression,but these benefits can be decreased if the human element becomes unnecessary.In this way,family relationships might suffer without the cooperative kitchen environment.
Furthermore,the kitchen serves as a science laboratory in the household,playing an important role in science education.The art of cooking helps kids to learn about materials,chemistry and problem-solving.
Cultural risks must also be considered.For example,AI could mess up traditional recipes and methods,as it often stereotypes(把……模式化) or oversimplifies cultural details.This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less diverse dishes.Relying too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a lack of variety,leading to the sameness in taste.This is similar to the strikingly similar appearance of AI-generated art images across different apps.
Convenience can come at a great cost,so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions(扰乱) that new technologies might bring,especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives.
5.Which is a potential benefit of AI kitchens
A.Reducing kitchen waste and risks.
B.Meeting personalized dietary needs.
C.Strengthening family relationships.
D.Improving the efficiency of cooking.
6.What might be a negative impact of AI kitchens on family life
A.Simplifying traditional cooking culture.
B.Messing up traditional recipes and dishes.
C.Reducing family communication and bonding.
D.Forcing family members to change eating habits.
7.What is the author’s attitude to the widespread use of AI kitchens
A.Indifferent.　 B.Cautious.
C.Unclear. D.Positive.
8.What can be the best title for the text
A.Great Role of AI in Modern Kitchens
B.Potential and Future of AI in Kitchens
C.Benefits and Challenges of AI Kitchens
D.AI Robots Working in Automatic Kitchens

【语境猜词】
①自我表达　②合作的;协作的　③将……过于简化
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者结合自身经历表达了对AI写作工具的思考和看法,认为它削弱了人们通过自主选词来认知自我和世界的能力。
9.A　根据下文“a single adjective was clearly wrong”可知,此处指一个选择不当的(ill-chosen)词导致了特别的会面。
10.B　根据上文“the poet James’ Dickey”和下文“a single adjective was clearly wrong”可知,诗人是写诗的,因此是这首诗已经完成了(finished),但其中一个形容词用错了。
11.C　根据上文“a single adjective was clearly wrong”可知,它们讨论各种可以代替那个错词的替换词(alternatives)。
12.B　根据上文“the suitable word came to me”可知,作者想到了合适的词,应该是兴奋的(excited)。
13.D　根据“opened the phone book”可知,打开电话簿是为了查找(look up)号码。
14.A　根据上文“opened the phone book to 　13　 Mr Dickey’s number”可知,作者打电话,这里应是Dickey先生接(answered)电话。
15.D　根据上文“The word is ‘pale’.” He entirely agreed.可知,在想到合适的词后,世界瞬间有了一种前所未有的意义。此处是一种文学化的表达,“make sense”为固定短语,意为“有意义,讲得通”。

17.A　根据下文“with hovering robots suggesting”可知,此处指作者输入的东西充斥着悬浮的机器人。be thick with表示“充满,充斥着”。
18.C　根据下文“robot words”以及作者对AI助手的看法可知,这些机器人词汇建议是不受欢迎的(unwelcome)。
19.B　根据下文“to persuade their students not to use these tools”可知,写作老师在努力(struggle)说服学生不要使用这些工具。
20.D　根据上文“They are everywhere”可知,想把这些AI助手赶走是不可能的(impossible)。
21.B　根据下文“by removing novel elements”可知,删除新颖元素会使文章风格变得平淡(flatten)。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了今年的春晚展示了传统艺术与尖端科技的融合,吸引了全球观众。
24.remarkable　考查形容词。所填词修饰名词fusion,所以用形容词形式,故填remarkable。
25.integrating　考查非谓语动词。integrate与句子主语 “China’s Spring Festival Gala”之间是逻辑上的主动关系,且在此处作伴随状语,所以用动词-ing形式,故填integrating。
26.highlights　考查名词的数。highlight是可数名词,根据上文some of可知,此处要用复数形式,故填highlights。
27.were used　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。which引导非限制性定语从句,指代先行词 technologies,technologies和use之间是被动关系,且根据上下文可知,时态是一般过去时,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,故填were used。
28.Additionally　考查副词。所填词修饰下文整个句子,所以用副词形式,位于句首,首字母须大写,故填Additionally。
29.appealing　考查形容词。所填词修饰名词performance,所以用形容词形式,故填appealing。
30.Directed　考查非谓语动词。direct和句子主语“16 humanoid robots”之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词作状语,位于句首,首字母须大写,故填Directed。
31.with　考查介词。in cooperation with意为 “与……合作”,故填with。
32.took　考查时态。根据上下文可知,描述的是春节联欢晚会上发生过的事情,所以用一般过去时,故填took。
33.an　考查冠词。空后的form是可数名词单数,这里表示“一种充满活力的民间艺术形式”,需要用不定冠词修饰,energetic是以元音音素开头的单词,故填an。
【语境猜词】
①(处于某事物发展)最前沿的,最先进的　②再创造　③类人的,像人的　④协调的;配合的
