10.How to Tell If Someone Is Happy or Sad on the PhoneScientists have come up with some researches on what makes different types of people"tick".
The scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed new mobile phone technology called Emotion Sense that can tell if a caller is happy,angry or sad.
Scientists hope to fit the speech recognition system to standard mobile phones and use it to determine emotions-it will also use a GPS tracking system to log where the call is made.And they've already made some pretty major breakthroughs into really getting under the skin of us humans.
The results from the pilot scheme make interesting scientific reading.Among the key revelations (﹦facts) are that callers feel happier at home and sadder at work.
To break it down,scientifically,it shows 45percent of all emotions produced at home are"happy"and 54percent of emotions at work are"sad".
Meanwhile,people show more"intense"(﹦nervous) emotions in the evening than they do in the morning.
Of course,this could just be because most people feel too tired in the morning to get overly"intense".Eating breakfast and getting to work on time is usually enough of an achievement.
Anyway,the Emotion Sense technology has been developed by psychologists(心理学家) and computer scientists who say it uses speech recognition software and phone sensors(传感器) attached to standard smart phones to judge how callers'emotions are changed by everyday factors.
The sensors analyze voice samples and these are then divided into five categories:happiness,sadness,fearfulness,anger or neutral--boredom or passivity(消极) would fit into this last category.
59.How many emotions can the sensors tell?D
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
60.What does the underlined sentence mean?D
A.Scientists have put something testing people's emotions under humans'skin.
B.There were some breakthroughs in this technology in getting something from people's skin.
C.In this technology,people's skin was broken through.
D.There were improvements in testing people's emotions.
61.Why do most people feel less intense in the morning than in the evening?B
A.Because morning is the start of a new day.
B.because they feel too tired in the morning.
C.Because of humans'physiological structure.
D.Because of the fresh air and bright sunlight.
62.Which of the following hasn't been put into the standard mobile phones?D
A.Speech recognition software.
B.Phone sensors.
C.GPS sensors.
D.Translation system.
分析 文章是一篇说明文,主要介绍了科学家最近的一项研究项目:通过电话来识别对方的情绪.这种新技术可以分辨开心、悲伤、恐惧、愤怒和中立等五种情绪.
解答 DDBD
59 D 细节理解题.由最后一段中的"…divided into five categories:happiness,sadness,fearfulness,anger or neutral…"可知,这种新技术可以分辨开心、悲伤、恐惧、愤怒和中立五种情绪.其余选项错误.故选D.
60 D 词义猜测题.此句的关键在于"getting under the skin",其表面意思为"到皮肤下",在本文中引申为"了解人的真实情绪".其余说法错误.故选D.
61 B 细节理解题.由倒数第三段第一句"Of course,this could just be because most people feel too tired in the morning to get overly"intense"."可知,由于早上人们总是很累,以至于紧张不起来.其余说法错误.故选B.
62 D 细节理解题.由第三段和倒数第二段the Emotion Sense technology has been developed by psychologists(心理学家) and computer scientists who say it uses speech recognition software and phone sensors(传感器) attached to standard smart phones to judge how callers'emotions are changed by everyday factors.可知,只有D项未提及,文中无信息支持.故选D.
