题目内容

Modern scientists have made great development in building computers that can imitate logical thought. There are two schools of thought on artificial intelligence (人工智能). Supporters of “Strong AI” consider that all human thought can be broken down into a set of mathematical operations. They expect that they will one day be able to copy the human mind and create a robot able to both think and feel, with a sense of self – the stuff of classic science fiction. Supporters of “Weak AI” think a computer might seem intelligent, but it is not aware of what it is doing, with no sense of self or consciousness.

Now the development of life – like robots may be closer to reality than you think. Engineers have created robotic soccer players, and bees that act like the real thing.

Powered by a small battery on her back, humanoid robot Lola is a soccer champion. “The idea of the robot is that it can walk and see things because it has a video camera on top,” Raul Rojas, Ph. D., professor of artificial intelligence at Freie University in Berlin, Germany, told Ivanhoe. Using the camera on her head, Lola recognizes objects by color.

“Using this camera, Lola can locate objects on the floor, such as a red ball, go after the ball and try to score a goal,” said Dr. Rojas. German engineers have also created a bee robot. It can imitate the bee’s “waggle” dance which communicates the location of food and water.

“Later what we want to prove is that the robot can send the bees in any decided direction using the waggle dance,” said Dr. Rojas.

Robots like this could one day become high – tech surveillance (侦察) tools that secretly fly and record data.

1．Robotic soccer players mentioned in the text reach the level of .

A．“Strong AI” technology B．“Weak AI” technology

C．being able to think themselves D．having a sense of consciousness

2．How does Lola tell different objects according to the text?

A．By microwave. B．By sound. C．By smell. D．By color.

3．The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.

A．a bee robot B．a robotic soccer player

C．a been that can use the waggle dance D．a surveillance tool

4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．A robot able to both think and feel only exists in science fiction now.

B．Scientists have created the robots that can play soccer better than men.

C．Engineers have created robotic soccer players and bees that can replace the real thing.

D．Scientists have made great development in recording data in the past few years.

Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part －drivers.

DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.

One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner,” if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.

“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. “Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly . It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”

The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately, Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.

Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because .

A．they did not have any human guidance

B．the road was not familiar to the drivers

C．the distance was too long for the vehicles

D．the prize money was unattractive to the drivers

DARPA organized the race in order to .

A．raise money for producing more robotic vehicles

B．push the development of vehicle industry

C．train more people to drive in the desert

D．improve the vehicles for future wars

From the passage we know “robotic vehicles” are a kind of machines that .

A．can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing can

B．can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit

C．can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down

D．can move from place to place without being driven by human beings

In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was .

A．about eight miles B．six miles

C．almost two miles D．about one mile

In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go .

A．for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties

B．for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table

C．for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve
