　　A Northern Ireland team is leading a research to develop a thinking computer which can sense a user's mood.Researchers at Queen's University in Belfast hope to complete the 10 million Euro project for an emotion-sensitive computer within four years.

　　The aim is to enable computers to think and behave more like humans.The Europe-wide project is being led by the university's School of Psychology and involves 160 researchers from 27 institutions.The university's researchers developed the scheme and signed the contract with the European Commission.The academics said the work will build upon attempts to create “multi-modal interfaces (多模式界面)” which allow machines to sense and respond to the moods of the user.

　　Programme leader Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounds like science fiction, computers which respond to human emotion will appear in the future.“At the moment, our use of computers is limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access them，” he said.“It would make a big difference if we could interact with them by speaking normally—perhaps through a microphone and a transmitter (傳感器)．” But emotion is part of normal speech, and experience has shown that most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore it—too uncomfortable to use them very much.“If we can make computers more intuitive (富于直覺的) and expressive, and also less challenging to use, there is great potential to let people make fuller use of information technology.”

　　The emotion-sensitive computer would have its own “personality” and establish a social relationship with the user.“It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotion-sensitive interfaces will be as much part of life as window-and-mouse interfaces are now，” said Professor Cowie.The project team believes such computers will play a major role in teaching and learning.

　　16．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the project?

　　A．It aims to create an emotion-sensitive computer.

　　B．It can create a 10 million Euro profit.

　　C．It is led by a Southern Ireland team.

　　D．It has been completed within four years.

　　17．How will computers sense users' moods?

　　A．Through a screen.

　　B．Through a keyboard.

　　C．Through the voice of users.

　　D．Through multi-modal interfaces.

　　18．We can infer from the passage that a person's emotion________.

　　A．varies from time to time

　　B．is determined by his own personality

　　C．plays an important role in normal speech

　　D．makes people uncomfortable when one is speaking

　　19．What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?

　　A．Emotion-sensitive computers can talk freely as human beings.

　　B．It will be difficult for people to use emotion-sensitive computers.

　　C．Emotion-sensitive computers have been widely used in teaching.

　　D．It will be common for people to use emotion-sensitive computers in the future.

　　Fujitsu, a Japanese technology company, has created a system capable of simultaneously(同時地)charging multiple portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras and laptop computers without the need for cable connections.

　　Electric cars users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology, said the company, which developed a sample system at Osaka Prefecture University. Claiming to be the world's first of its kind, the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device.

　　The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several meters. With the final aim of installing public “charging spots” on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock, scientists at Fujitsu Labs are planning to commercially sell products incorporating the new wireless charging system as early as 2024 but have not yet decided how much they would cost.

　　“This technology paves the way to integrating compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling multiple portable devices to be charged simultaneously without any restrictions on their position relating to the charger，” the company said in a statement.

　　Mobile phone users in Japan can currently charge their batteries using the disposable portable plug-in battery-operated device, available at most train stations and convenience stores. However, phone companies warn long time use of it can damage the phones.

　　The company added, “We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics, including power transmission between circuit boards(電路板)or computer chips，and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars.”

　　20．This passage is most probably taken from ________.

　　A．an instructive brochure

　　B．readers feedback

　　C．a news report

　　D．a brief introduction

　　21．Which of the following can best describe the striking feature of this system?

　　A．It enables wireless charging at distances of up to several miles.

　　B．It enables you to charge your device very easily beside the clock.

　　C．It is wireless and makes multiple charging at the same time.

　　D．It can be bought at any formal supermarkets in the city.

　　22．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to________.

　　A．the device

　　　B．the system

　　C．the phone

　　　D．the battery

　　23．The best title for the text would be________.

　　A．Fujitsu, a famous Japanese company

　　B．Power transmission between circuit boards

　　C．New wireless charging system developed

　　D．Mobile phones damaged by charging

　　答案

　　課時作業(yè)(八)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　考查交際用語。句意為：“很抱歉，我未能按時完成它。”“無論如何我還得謝謝你。”D項符合語境。A項為見面打招呼用語；B項在表示委婉拒絕時用；C項在表示非常感謝時用，均不符合句意。

　　2．C　考查副詞辨析。句意：也許，從現在起他真應該多鍛煉。不管怎樣，我希望他能很快恢復過來。somehow “由于某種原因”；somewhat “有點；稍微”；anyway “不管怎樣；無論如何”；anywhere “在任何地方”。故C符合題意。

　　3．A　watch over “照管”。句意為：我去游泳，你幫我看一下衣服好嗎？其他選項均不符合句意。

　　4．B　考查短語辨析。出了重大事故放長假，也就是說(換句話說)，他被開除了。前后句子從邏輯上講不存在因果關系或者轉折關系。

　　5．A　考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。Italian Luca Parmitano 和select 是被動關系，故排除B，C。根據句意，表示過去的動作“已經被選入……”對現在的影響，故用的是現在完成時的被動語態(tài)，故選A。

　　6．A　考查交際用語。由答語中的not me可以看出，他不想去，所以選擇A項，這是一句美式俚語，意為“我不喜歡這個東西”或者“它不適合我”。

　　7．D　考查詞匯辨析。as作“隨著”解為連詞，引導時間狀語從句。with 是介詞，不能引導從句。

　　8．A　考查時態(tài)、語態(tài)和主謂一致。答話人之所以讓對方刪除手機上要求匯款的信息是因為到目前為止已經有很多人上當受騙，所以用現在完成時的被動語態(tài)，排除C、D兩項； many a表示“大量”，修飾單數可數名詞，謂語動詞用單數，故排除B項選A項。

　　9．C　考查as a result的用法。as a result意為“因此，所以”，單獨使用，表示后句是前句的結果；而however表示轉折，moreover, furthermore表示遞進，不符合語境。

　　10．D　考查such a＋adj.＋n＋that結構。注意，如果把A項中的a 放到well-known后也是正確的。

　　11．C　主要考查在交際用語中動詞的時態(tài)及語態(tài)。根據主語與謂語動詞的關系可知是被訂購，于是排除選項A；選項B表示將要發(fā)生的事情；選項C表示已經發(fā)生的事情；選項D表示過去某個時候即將發(fā)生的事情。根據前面的That's too bad.可知，事情已經發(fā)生，故答案為C。

　　12．B　考查副詞辨析。句意為：當一個人得到了物質財富后，他一定會尋求精神享受，這是一個被大家所普遍接受的真理。partly “不完全地，部分地”；universally “普遍地”；particularly “尤其，特別”；previously “先前，預先”。語意表示這是被大家所普遍接受的真理，因此選B。

　　13．D　考查交際用語。句意為：“恐怕我不能像計劃得那么快完成任務。” “別急，慢慢來。”I'm afraid為委婉的說法，不用Don't be afraid來回答；Don't mention it用來回答道歉；I suppose so表示“我想如此”，相當于I think so，不符合語境。Take your time表示“別著急，慢慢來”，符合句意。

　　14．D　考查短語用法。deal with通常與how搭配；do with通常與what搭配。C項語序不對。

　　15．C　考查時態(tài)。從句意知“過去十年來他一直都在發(fā)掘他最大的潛能”，另外，從“in the past decade”可知應該用現在完成時，同時此處強調十年來他一直保有的狀態(tài)，所以用現在完成進行時，故選C。

　　.A

　　北愛爾蘭的一個研究小組正在研究一種會思考的電腦，這種電腦能夠感知使用者的情緒。

　　16．A　細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第一段第二句可知A項正確；B項的profit錯誤；C項的Southern錯誤；D項說項目已經完成，這一點不對。

　　17．D　細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二段最后一句可知D項正確。

　　18．C　推理判斷題。根據第三段中倒數第二句“…experience has shown that most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore it—too uncomfortable to use them very much.”可知C項正確。

　　19．D　推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段“It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotion-sensitive interfaces will be as much part of life as window-and-mouse interfaces are now…”可知D正確。

　　B

　　本文是一則科技資訊，主要介紹了一家名叫富士通的日本科技公司發(fā)明了一種可以同時多任務充電的無線充電系統。

　　20．C　文章出處題。從全文內容可知，本文是介紹最新無線充電系統的一則科技類資訊，所以答案選C項。

　　21．C　細節(jié)理解題。從文章第一段中的“…a system capable of simultaneously(同時地)charging multiple portable electronic devices…without the need for cable connections.”可知，該設備的特點：一是無線，二是可同時多任務充電，故答案選C項。
