Robots are famously cold，hard and unfeeling，so they may not be the greatest audience for your favourite knock-knock joke.However，scientists in Japan are looking to change their reputation，by teaching them when and how to laugh using artificial intelligence. The researchers created an android，named "Erica"，which they trained to detect laughter in conversation，then decide whether to laugh in response and what kind of laughter would be best.Her conversations and chuckles（轻笑）were then watched by volunteers，who decided whether her responses demonstrated empathy and human-likeness. Lead author Dr Koji Inoue，from Kyoto University，said： "We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy.Conversation is，of course，multi-modal，not just responding correctly.So we decided that one way a robot can empathize（产生共鸣）with users is to share their laughter，which you cannot do with a text-based chatbot（聊天机器）." The aim of the research was to develop an AI that can understand slight differences in humour.While it would be possible to train an algorithm（计算程序）to recognize laughter，or read out a joke，these abilities would not enable it to copy natural conversation. The researchers first developed a "shared-laughter " model for Erica to run，which would allow her to respond to human laughter as an empathetic response.This model asks three questions in order for the robot to appropriately respond to a conversational cue.First is "Did the user laugh？"，then "Will Erica laugh in response？" and finally，if she responds yes to both， "Which type of laughter is proper？".The types of laughter Erica would choose from are a "social laugh"，a polite chuckle to fill conversation when humour is not involved，or a "mirthful laugh" for funny situations. To teach the AI to use the shared-laughter model effectively，the researchers gathered data by sending the robot speed dating.Erica，who was remotely operated by four female actors，had over 80 dialogues with male university students.The laughter that appeared during the conversations was then classified into solo，social or mirthful.This was then used to train Erica's neural network how to decide when it is appropriate to laugh，and which type of laughter to use. 1.What the scientists in Japan exactly want to do in this research？ ______ A.To change the robot's reputation. B.To use artificial intelligence. C.To teach the robot when and how to laugh. D.To create a new android. 2.What can be inferred according to Dr Koji's words？ ______ A.Empathy is the most important function of conversational AI. B.Sharing their laughter can make a robot empathize with users. C.Multi-modal is one of the characteristics of conversation. D.Conversation only needs to respond correctly. 3.Which statement will the author probably agree with？ ______ A. text-based chatbot can have sympathy for others. B.An algorithm can not recognise laughter，and read out a joke. C.Erica can learn to laugh from three questions. D.The actors and students can give examples of laugh. 4.Which can be the best title for the text？ ______ A.Scientists try to teach a robot when it is appropriate to laugh. B.Robots know how to laugh after learning and training. C.A new trend is coming as artificial intelligence learns to laugh. D.Researchers try to teach a robot how to make a conversation.

阅读〔一共两节,满分是40分〕第一节 阅读理解〔一共15小题,每一小题2分,满分是30分〕AIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad because it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationships between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winners and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame〔责备〕competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one' s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.56. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition57. Why do some people favor competition according to passage?A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.58. The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means"_________〞.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success59. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?A. One' s worth lies in his performance compared with othersB. One' s success in competition needs great efforts.C. One' s achievement is determined by his particularD. One' s success is based on how hard he has tried.60. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.BBaths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins(废墟) of a water system(系统) for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many as 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700's has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent(经常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one's health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(防止), and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!By the 1700's doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were know as "The Great Unwashed!" In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (=necessary) to good health.61.
