2019-2020年高考英语一轮复习Module4WhichEnglishCarnival课时作业提升练外研版必修. 阅读理解AThe global population is living longer, and getting older, which presents new challenges. “The question bees: who will take care of everyone? While people will always be the best caregivers for people, there just arent enough people. Thats where robotic technology can really make a difference, ”says Professor Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California. Her group is developing robots to work with stroke(中风)patients and elderly people. The research team has found that people react well to a robot gym instructor, and seem to get less frustrated with it than with instructions given on a puter screen. The robot can act as a perfect trainer, with infinite(极大的)patience. “People say things likeI prefer this robot to my husband! Can I take it home? ”according to Professor Mataric. “In fact theres a really important point here. As we create these caregiving technologies, were helping not only the people that need the care, but also the people caring for them. We can give them a break, and help them avoid burnout. ”People are going to have to like, and importantly trust robots before they wele them into their homes, and several groups around the world are working on making it easier to municate with them. Much of human munication takes place through body language. Gestures, eye contact, and concepts of personal space are all things that robots are being taught. In learning about how people interact(互动)with machines, researchers are also discovering new roles for robots in our lives. Robots can municate with humans in ways that other technologies can not. “If someone finds the robot to be more persuasive and more reliable, thats going to affect how they interact with it, ”says Dr Cynthia Breazeal, director of the Personal Robots Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “We can now start to think about fields where its the social interaction, which is the main means by which a robot helps someone. ”Dr Breazeal says that means robots could be used in education, learning, and health care, where social support is important. 【文章大意】随着地球上的人们活的时间越来越长, 年龄越来越大, 很多问题也相继而来。谁来照顾他们? 这篇文章将介绍一种新型机器人, 它能帮你照顾老人, 它还能做什么呢? 一起看看吧! 1.

In Chinas Qinling Mountains, giant pandas spend most of their day eating bamboo. The plant makes up 99% of the pandasdiet, with some pandas eating about 40 pounds of it a day. But Qinlings pandas may soon have to find another food source. A new study reports that warming temperatures may cause the loss of most of the regions bamboo by the end of the century. A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied the effects of climate change on the regions three main bamboo species. They studied the influence of rising temperatures on the spread and growth of bamboo. Bamboo is sensitive to temperature changes. “Even with a 3. 6 degrees Fahrenheit increase in temperature, we found that 80% to 100% of bamboo would be gone by the end of the century, ”Liu Jianguo, one of the studys authors said. Shirley Martin, who came from Paris but not involved in the team said that its really a demanding challenge for us to get a desired result. The Qinling Mountains, located in eastern China, are home to about 270 pandas. That is about 17% of the worlds wild panda population. The panda is one of the worlds most endangered species. In recent years, China has stepped up efforts to protect pandas. But Liu says the country has yet to consider the long-term efforts of climate change in its conservation planning. Aside from increasing nature reserve areas(保护区)where pandas are protected, Liu wants China to lower its use of fuels that release(释放)greenhouse gasesas should the rest of the world. “The future of pandas, ”he says, “is in our hands. ”【文章大意】本文主要介绍了秦岭大熊猫的主要食物竹子正受到威胁。由于气候变暖, 到本世纪末, 秦岭的大部分竹子也许会遭遇灭顶之灾, 研究者们呼吁采取措施进行保护。5.
