   We use robots for tasks like building cars and sorting mail, but can we use them as stand-ups(单口相声演员)in the future? One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes.

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London or?ganized RoboThespian's performances to test whether it could be as funny as a human.

The electronic comedian went on stage for a show with British comedians Andrew O'Neill and Tiernan Douieb, per?forming the same jokes as Douieb but with a few changes―it is a robot after all. The robot has some advantages over hu?man comedians? too.

"We used computer vision and audio software to notice the response of each audience member, something a human comedian cannot do," said Kleomenis Katevas, the robot's programmer. " The machine used this information to decide whom to look at and which gestures to use."

  The robot also has other advantages over human comedi?ans. Impressions of other people and sounds are very popular ways for performers to get laughs, and according to New Sci?entist reporter Celeste Biever, the robot can perform a recor?ded sound by simply playing it back. It can also act out pro?grammed pieces from Shakespeare or just anything else.

  "Another of the robot's advantages is more surprising. Because I feel less empathy(同感)for RoboThespian than for the human comedians, I feel more relaxed during its perform?ances ,"Biever added. And of course, RoboThespian is un?likely to feel as nervous as other comedians, or be affected too badly by an audience member shouting at it.

  The Queen Mary researchers say they're most interested in how the audience can be part of live performances. So in the future, we may be watching robots performing exactly the show we want to see. Do you think it's time for the robot to write some more jokes?

1.Why was RoboThespian originally developed?

 

A.To help human comedians perform better on stage.

B. To find out if robots could understand human jokes.

C.To see if robots could perform like human comedians.

D.To assist human comedians to make up some better jokes.

2.When RoboThespian gave performances on stage, it

 

A.imitated the audience's voices to make them laugh

B.was affected easily by an audience member shouting at it

 C.performed completely different jokes from human co?medians

D.recorded each audience member's reaction and acted accordingly

 

3. What does Celeste Biever think of robot comedians?

 

A.     He believes the future of comedy lies in them.

B.      He considers their jokes as rather poor and boring.

C.      He thinks they aren't suitable for live performances.

D.     He feels more comfortable watching their perform?ances.

4.What is the article mainly talking about?

 

A.     The robot comedian RoboThespian and its advanta?ges.

B.     Robot technology used to help us with our daily tasks.

C.     Predictions of the comedy of the future and concern about it.

D.     A comparison between human comedians and robot comedians.

B [2015 •长春普通高中三检]

Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tight-fisted towards us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe 

weather. If I grumbled, he'd say in his loudest father-voice, "That's what your legs are for!"

The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walk?ing alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was cancelled one spring evening.

It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

A row of hedge (树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something grey moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely.  I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.

On later visits* that spot of grey became my watchtow-er. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. "So! My son, it's you!" he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.

I replied, "Yes, Dad. It's me. I'm home.，，

My heart beat with that feeling, pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys. As the piece neared the end, I 9 up to take my final bow. For a second, the room was 10 Yet, even in that one second, I had enough time to 11 whether I had done perfectly. Then, 12 ， the applause(掌声)came.

"Thank you... so much," I said, 13 to the person standing on my other side. Olga, my piano teacher for six years? smiled back at me. "You've been an 14 student all these years," she said. "I hope that whatever you do, you never stop 15 "

One day I was walking to the mailbox with my dad,when I saw something drop from a tree. I couldn't 8 what it was, so I kept my eyes on the spot as we came near.

A [2015 .湖北八市高三联考] Alice's mother died when Alice was five years old. Al?ice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that after her mother's death her family was too poor to even afford to give her a doll.

In December 2012, I had a job at a local bank. One after?noon, we were decorating the tree in the bank lobby(大厅). One of my customers approached me with her beautiful hand?made dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Katie, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea. I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother-one with grey hair and spectacles (眼镜)：a grandmother doll. And she gladly agreed.

A friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to my home to deliver my Katie her presents, so I made some spe?cial arrangements.

Christmas Day arrived at the planned time; so did Santa Claus. Katie was surprised that Santa had come to see her at her own house. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and found one more gift. As he asked who Alice was, my mother, surprised at her name being called, indicated that she in fact was Alice. Santa handed her the gift, with a message card that read:

For Alice ：

I was cleaning out my sleigh(雪橇) be fore my trip this year and came across this package that -was supposed to be delivered on December 25, 1953s The present inside has aged ， but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift.

                            Love，

                           Santa Claus

My mother's reaction was one of the most deeply emo?tional scenes I have ever seen. She couldn't speak but only hold the doll she had waited for fifty-nine years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. That doll, given by " San?ta" ,made my mother the happiest "child" that Christmas.

3. When the writer's mother received the doll that she had waited so long, she was .

A [2015 .四川新津中学高三一诊] Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morali?ty itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook.

I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral les?sons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.

If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(参与其中的)approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms(规范)and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to coexist in soci?ety. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the pres?ent time.

The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him or her what is valued. If a child likes his or her friends, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child no?tices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.

In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behaviour patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is re?warded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you sup?port correct values and reward good behaviour.

1.     Which is NOT the reason why moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?

 

A.     Morality doesn't strictly belong to a science.

B.     Morality is more like a social phenomenon.

C.     Morality can't be written down in textbooks.

D.     Different generations have different moral ideas.

2.     The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to •

 

A.     explain that telling lies is not moral for little children

B.     advise that people should be rewarded for their good?ness

C.     show that he has no opinions about moral science

D.     prove that moral lessons in schools have little effect

 

3.     When   you   tell   a   child   about   morals ，   you should

A.     teach him or her to share personal moral ideas with others

B.      tell him or her about social norms and cultural differ?ences

C.      explain that nobody can influence his or her moral ide?as

D.     say that the present morals are likely to be changed

4.     What is the last paragraph mainly about?

 

A.     The influence of people's behaviour on morals.

B.     The value of teachers' setting a good example.

C.     The best way of teaching children about morals.

D.     The importance of rewarding good behaviour.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include get?ting exercise ， having fun ， and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.

Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports re?spect the other players on their teams. They respect the play?ers on opposing teams. They respect coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.

9 They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coa?ches or referees.

Kids usually learn sportsmanship―good and bad―from the adults in their lives. 10 If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.

11 Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other exam?ples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.

Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌)and re?spect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life!

12 Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.

So be a good sport in whatever you do! 13 When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn't the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills.

A.     Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.

B.     On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disre?spect.

C.     The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

D.     Players' parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.

E.     We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.

F.      Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.

G.     If you're a good sport on the field, you'll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.

B  [2015 .江西新余一中高三三模] People aren't walking any more―if they can figure out a

way to avoid it.

I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either.I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness:motorosis.

It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的)，for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced―and beat―a teenage foot?ball player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.

Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physi?cian* Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exer?cise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise―the most familiar and natural of all.

It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flow?ers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.

The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

  I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.

4.  What was life like when the author was young?

 A.     People often walked 25 miles a day.

B.     People usually went around on foot.

C.     People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.

D.     People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.

5. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that___________ .

 A.     middle-aged people like getting back to nature

B.     people need regular exercise to keep fit

C.     walking in nature helps enrich one's mind

D.     going on foot prevents heart disease

6. What is compared to "a steel river" in Paragraph 6? 

A. A ray of traffic light.   B.  A queue of cars.

C.  A flash of lightning.    D.  A stream of people.

7.What is the author's intention of writing this passage?

 A.     To encourage people to return to walking.

B.     To recommend people to give up driving.

C.     To advise people to do outdoor activities.

D.     To tell people to reflect more on life.
