四、阅读理解（共7小题，每小题2分，满分14分）

Angad Rekhi, a graduate student and an assistant professor of electrical engineering, has developed a wake-up receiver. This wake-up receiver has many potential applications, particularly in designing the next generation of net worked devices, including so called “smart” devices that can communicate directly with one another without human intervention (介入).
Once attached to a device, a wake-up receiver listens for a unique ultrasonic (超声波) pattern that tells it when to turn the device on. It needs only a very small amount of power to maintain this constant listening, so it still saves energy overall while extending the battery life of the larger device. A well-designed wake-up receiver also allows the device to be turned on from a significant distance.
Given the increased interest in networked devices, researchers and industry organizations are starting to define what features and techniques will become standard. Regardless of whether this ultrasound wake-up receiver is among these standard designs, it is likely wake-up receivers of some kind will be combined into commercial applications soon.
By comparison, the ultrasound wake-up receiver requires a battery but has much greater range than the wirelessly powered devices, while still maintaining a long lifetime due to extremely low power draw. These two technologies-wireless power and wake-up receivers-would likely serve different purposes but both indicate at a turning point in devices that make up the Internet of Things.
“In light of a long-promised future where interconnected, autonomous, widespread and unremarkable technologies make life easier, the networked devices available now, like video doorbells and app-enabled lights, seem like rather slight advances.” the researchers said. They believe technologies like theirs could help cross the gap between the Internet of Things as we know it and the Internet of Things at its best-whatever that may be.
1. Which of the following is an advantage of the wake-up receiver?
A. It requires no signal. B. It is very power saving.
C. It can make the battery larger. D. It must be fixed to another device.
2. What do we know about by comparing the wireless power with wake-up receivers?
A. One can replace the other.
B. The wake-up receiver is better.
C. Both have their own advantages.
D. The wirelessly powered device has more uses.
3. What do the researchers feel about their technologies mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. They make the Internet cheaper.
B. They make the Internet more popular.
C. They are not useful devices for the Internet.
D. They are beneficial to the use of the Internet.
B
We use robots for tasks like building cars and sorting mail, but can we use them as stand-up comedians (单口相声演员) in the future? One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London organized RoboThespian’s performances to test whether it could be as funny as a human.
The electronic comedian went on stage for a show with British comedians Andrew O’Neill and Tiernan Douieb, performing the same jokes as Douieb but with a few changes—it is a robot after all. The robot has some advantages over human comedians, too.
“We used computer vision and audio software to notice the response of each audience member, something a human comedian cannot do,” said Kleomenis Katevas, the robot’s programmer. “The machine used this information to decide who to look at and which gestures to use.”
The robot also has other advantages over human comedians. Impressions of other people and sounds are very popular ways for performers to get laughs, and according to New Scientist reporter Celeste Biever, the robot can perform recorded sound by simply playing it back. It can also act out programmed pieces from Shakespeare or just about anything else.
“Another of the robot’s advantages is more surprising. Because I feel less empathy (同感) for RoboThespian than for the human comedians, I feel more relaxed during his performances,” Biever added. And of course, RoboThespian is unlikely to feel as nervous as other comedians, or be affected too badly by an audience member shouting at it.
The Queen Mary researchers say they’re most interested in how audiences can be part of live performances. So in the future, we may be watching robots performing exactly the show we want to see. Do you think it’s time for the robot to write some more jokes?
4. Why was RoboThespian originally developed?
A. To help human comedians perform better on stage.
B. To find out if robots could understand human jokes.
C. To see if robots could perform like human comedians.
D. To assist human comedians to make up some better jokes.
5. When RoboThespian gave performances on stage, it .
A. imitated the audience’s voices to make them laugh
B. was affected easily by an audience member shouting at it
C. performed completely different jokes from human comedians
D. recorded each audience member’s reaction and acted accordingly
6. What does Celeste Biever think of robot comedians?
A. He believes the future of comedy lies in them.
B. He considers their jokes as rather poor and boring.
C. He thinks they aren’t suitable for live performances.
D. He feels more comfortable watching their performances.
7. What is the article mainly talking about?
A. The robot comedian RoboThespian and its advantages.
B. Robot technology used to help us with our future daily tasks.
C. Predictions of the comedy of the future and concerns about it.
D. A comparison between human comedians and robot comedians.

五、书面表达
Nowadays, most of us teenagers have our own cell phones and some of us are addicted to playing with cell phones. As a result, we ignore the normal communication with our teachers and classmates.
There is no doubt that cell phones have a negative impact on our life. Playing with cell phones makes it hard for us to concentrate on our lessons. Sending text messages makes us lose the ability to communicate with others. Worse still, we don’t have much time for physical exercise.
So we’d better limit the time we spend using the cell phones. Besides, we should learn to communicate with our family members face to face, which helps build a harmonious family atmosphere.
