51、耗资巨大的太空探索是否值得。DA Japanese telecom company has designed a robot that it says has emotions (情绪)But rather than run in fear of it，weve welcomed it into our homes: Pepper，the “emotional robots” sold out within a minute of going on sale.Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBaok，Pep

53、According to a news report，Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create his own using a “multilayer neural (神经的) network.” Peppers touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood，which is displayed on the tabletsized screen on its chest.Pepper will sigh when unhappy，and can go around you

54、r house recording your familys daily activities.Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “joy，surprise，anger，doubt and sadness，” but it doesnt say how strongly it can feel these emotions.What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it，like many humans，become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alon

55、e? What happens if it knows that its purpose in life is just to take part in small talk? Thankfully，Pepper is only about four feet tall，with roller balls instead of legs，so if it is angry with and even turns on its owners，youll be safe if you can make it upstairs.Aldebaran says in reality，theyre pro

56、bably quite a few years away from artificial intelligence that could create real emotions.Aldebaran wasnt immediately able to tell when Pepper will be available out of Japan，but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1，000 units sell out.SoftBank currently uses the robots in its sto

57、res as greeters，and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future.Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel.【语篇解读】本文讲述了日本的一家公司发布了世界上第一台“情感机器人”，介绍了情感机器人的使用费用、功能，以及未来的前景等。32According to the author，Pepper _Ais very popular among customersBcan not only run but also show fearCis goin

58、g to be sold all over the worldDcan deal with many kinds of housework答案A推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Pepper，the emotional robot， sold out within a minute of going on sale.”可知，这个情感机器人上市不到一分钟就卖光了，故Pepper是非常受消费者欢迎的。故选A。33How much do you need to pay for Peppers data and damage insurance fee each year?A80 dollars.B120

59、 dollars.C1，440 dollars.D2，400 dollars.答案D细节理解题。根据第二段中“theres a $120 per month data fee，as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee.”可知，每年用于Pepper的data and damage insurance fee为(12080)122 400。故答案为D。34Peppers height and roller balls are mentioned to _Aintroduce its appearanceBtell Pepper wont ge

60、t angryCshow that safety isnt a big problemDexplain robots have strong emotions答案C细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Pepper is only about four feet tall.you can make it upstairs.”可知，介绍Pepper的height and roller balls是为了表明安全不是大问题。故答案为C。35What can we infer from the last paragraph?APepper cannot produce real emotions.BPeppe

61、r can feel joy，surprise and boredom.CPepper will be sold in other countries next year.DPepper is being used as waiters in some restaurants.答案A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Aldebaran says in reality.could generate real emotions.”可推断，Pepper现在不能产生真正的情感。故A正确。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中

62、有两项为多余选项。Is there anything more important than health?

68、ealth，可知如果没有健康的身体就不能好好地工作和学习，故选B。37C根据The doctor will examine.have your chest Xrayed.医生在给你检查完后就会给你开药方，故选C。38G根据下文可知作者要讲一个滑稽的故事，故选G。39A根据下文Eat at pleasure，drink at pleasure and enjoy life as it is.可知应选A。40E根据He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.可知，这个人看起来比以前更加快乐幸福，故选E。
