Yellow Robot deliver snacks to your home

A robot makes its way back to a supermarket after making a delivery during a demonstration in Beijing.

Along a street on the outer edges of Beijing, a yellow and black cube about the size of a small washing machine moves leisurely to its destination. This “little yellow horse” is a delivery robot, transporting daily essentials like drinks, fruit and snacks from the local store to the residents. Equipped with GPS system, cameras and radar, the robot is seen by its creator as the future of logistics(物流) in China.

“The weak point is that it can't deliver directly to the door like a human.” said one customer, who does not live on the ground floor. “But it is still quite practical. The robot delivers relatively quickly.”

The robot takes off for Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping. China is the world's biggest online shopping market with more than half of its population making at least one smartphone purchase per month, according to professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. Whether buying electronics, toilet paper or clothes, Chinese customers are used to simply tapping a button on their smartphone and getting a home delivery.

To get a delivery via the “little yellow horse”, customers select the desired products, tap in the address and pay via their phone. Then, the supermarket staff place the items in the robot. Liu Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Zhen Robotics, which manufactures the robot, sees a bright future for his creation. “At the moment, there are 100 million packages delivered every day in China. It will be one billion in the future,” Liu said. “ There will not be enough humans to make the deliveries. We need more and more robots to fill this gap and reduce costs.” These costs are especially high in the last kilometer of a delivery.

（1）What is the yellow robot equipped with? (no more than 8 words) （2）What is the weak point of the yellow robot? (no more than 12 words) （3）Why is the robot popular with Chinese people? (no more than 12 words)

（4）What does the underlined word “manufactures” mean in the passage? (no more than 1 words)

（5）What do you think of the invention of the yellow robot? Why? (no more than 20words)

【答案】 （1）GPS system, cameras and radar. （2）It can't deliver directly to the door like a human.

（3）Because of Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping./Because Chinese customers love cashless payments and smartphone shopping. （4）Invents; Creates; Produces;（形式不对减一分）

（5）It is very helpful. Because the robot can replace humans to make the delivers and the robot can reduce costs.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了黄色的快递机器人以及它的市场前景。 （1）考查信息提升能力。根据第二段中的“Equipped with GPS system, cameras and radar, the robot is seen by its creator as the future of logistics(物流) in China.”可知黄色的机器人装备有GPS系统，摄像头和雷达，所以填GPS system, cameras and radar。

（2）考查信息提升能力。根据第三段中的“‘The weak point is that it can't deliver directly to the door like a human.’said one customer, who does not live on the ground floor.”可知黄色机器人的缺点是它不能像人一样直接送货上门，所以填It can't deliver directly to the door like a human。

（3）考查信息提升能力。根据第四段中的“The robot takes off for Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping.”可知机器人在中国很受欢迎是因为中国消费者喜欢无现金支付和智能手机购物，所以填Because of Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping./Because Chinese customers love cashless payments and smartphone shopping。

（4）考查信息提升能力。上文“Liu Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Zhen Robotics”甄机器人创始人兼CEO刘志勇，由此推断出下文which manufactures the robot, sees a bright future for his creation.的意思是他制造了这款机器人，看到了他的创造的光明前景。manufacture意思是发明创造，这里含有一个定语从句，Liu Zhiyong是先行词，关系词替代先行词，定语从句中，主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词需要用单数，所以填Invents; Creates; Produces。 （5）考查信息提升能力。题干询问你觉得黄色机器人的发明怎么样?为什么?同学们根据自己的想法，自由作答。

【点评】本题涉及考查信息提升能力，要求考生准确掌握所给材料，根据上下文的逻辑关系，结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识，做出正确答案。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了丝绸之路的历史、发展及其对东西方文明的影响。

（1）上文说丝绸之路始于公元前2世纪，一千多年来，伟大文明之间的货物和思想都通过丝绸之路传输，下文又说这个称呼是由德国人Ferdinand von Richthofen发明的，19世纪中叶他曾多次访问中国，此处需要一个承上启下的句子，故A项（然而，这个名字是一个现代的概念）符合语境。

（2）根据本空后的“Some shipments made it through to Europe and to northern and eastern Africa, through the port of Alexandria.”可知，一些货物通过亚历山大港送往欧洲、东非和北非，此处是说货物通过丝绸之路运送到别的地方，故C项（它把丝绸和其他商品送到其他文明）符合语境。

（3）上文说沿着丝绸之路运送的不只是丝绸，下文又说中国商人带来了精致的瓷盘和薄而耐用的纸币，罗马人把雕刻精美的陶器和朱宝带到中国，此处是说丝绸之路还运送除了丝绸以外的东西，故G项（还有很多别的东西，从西到东，从东到西，都在这条路上运输）符合语境。

8．Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Nowhere To Hide: What Machines Can Tell From Your Face

The human face is a remarkable piece of work.________ So is the face's ability to send emotional signals, whether through the unconscious shame or the trick of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, hostility, trust and deceit. They also spend plenty of time trying to hide their feelings, intentions or nature.

________ In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers' attendance; in Britain, by retailers to spot past shoplifters. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game. In China it confirms the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apple's new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreen

Set against human skills, such applications might seem enhancive. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the internet, obviously transform human abilities. ________ Although faces are peculiar to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.

________ Masking true feelings helps fix the wheels of daily life. If your partner can spot every prohibited yawn, and your boss every hint of annoyance, marriages and working relationships will be more truthful, but less harmonious. The basis of social interactions might change, too, from a set of commitments founded on trust to calculations of risk and reward derived from the information a computer attaches to someone's face. Relationships might become more reasonable, but also transactional.

A. However, facial recognition seems merely to encode them.

B. Research show that artificial intelligence can reconstruct the facial structures of people. C. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use. D. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.

E. Continuous facial recording that paints computerized data onto the real world might change the texture of social interactions.

F. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.

【答案】 F；D；A；E
