16.Dr.Caroline Lyon,Professor Chrystopher Nehaniv and Dr.Joe Saunders have carried out experiments as part of the iTalk project with the childlike iCub humanoid robot to show how language learning sppears.Initially the robot can only babble(speak like a baby)and takes speech as a string of sounds,not divided up into words.After having a few minutes of"conversation"with humans,in which the participants were instructed to speak to the robot as if it were a small child,the robot adapted its output to the most frequently heard units of pronunciation to produce some word forms such as the names of simple shapes and colors.Dr.Caroline Lyon said:"It is known that little babies are sensitive to the frequency of sounds in speech,and these experiments show how this sensitivity can be modeled and contribute to the learning or word forms by a robot."
The iTalk project teachers the robot of speak using methods similar to those used to teach children and is a key part in the learning process of the human-robot interaction.Although the iCub robot is learning to produce word forms,it does not know their meaning,and learning meaning is another part of the iTalk project's research.These scientific and technological advances could have a significant effect on the future generation of interactive robotic systems.
32.What's the first paragraph mainly about?D
A.Three scientists.
B.The iCub robot
C.Talks between the robot and humans
D.A scientific experiment.
33.We can infer that this childlike robot canA.
A.hardly speak complete sentences
B.speak fluently like a human
C.teach a baby to speak
D.be taught by its robot fellow
34.Which of the following can indicate Dr.Caroline Lyon's remarks?C
A.The experiments are leaned by a robot
B.Babies are more sensitive to the sounds in speech than the robot
C.The approach of teaching kids can be adopted to teach the robot.
D.The robot can teach itself like a baby.
35.In the last paragraph,we can learn thatD.
A.the iCub robot has a good understanding of words
B.the experiments are entirely complete
C.the main section of the iTalk project lies in robotic systems
D.the iTalk project's research is at the basic stage.
分析 短文主要讲了科学家研究机器人的说话方式,通过实验可以模仿小孩说话的方式来教机器人说法.
解答 32.D,推理判断题,短文第一段主要讲了一个科学实验,关于机器人如何说话,故答案为D.
33.A,细节理解题,根据句子to produce some word forms such as the names of simple shapes and colors.可知像孩子一样的机器人只能说一些单词,词组,不能说出完整的句子,故答案为A.
34.C,细节理解题,根据句子 these experiments show how this sensitivity can be modeled and contribute to the learning or word forms by a robot.可知教小孩说话的方式可是用在教机器人身上,故答案为C.
35.D,推理判断题,根据最后一句These scientific and technological advances could have a significant effect on the future generation of interactive robotic systems.,可知这种研究还在基础阶段,故答案为D.
点评 解答任务型阅读理解题,首先对原文材料迅速浏览,掌握全文的主旨大意.因为阅读理解题一般没有标题,所以,速读全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速读的过程中,应尽可能多地捕获信息材料.其次,细读题材,各个击破.掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅读每篇材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主题句,阅读时,要有较强的针对性.对于捕获到的信息,要做认真分析,仔细推敲,理解透彻,只有这样,针对题目要求,才能做到稳、准.
