Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. But the challenge is figuring out how to collect the energy from those winds. B. Kite power has the potential to greatly improve on current wind-power strategies. C. Wind at these altitudes (海拔高度) is stronger and steadier which increases productivity factors of the system to about 60%. D. Its plan is to build a kite power station using technology that can collectively generate (产生) large amounts of energy. E. Nevertheless, they successfully demonstrated that their kites could operate automatically at an altitude of up to 700 meters. F. After the initial cost of designing and setting up the plant, little additional investment will be necessary, apart from standard maintenance. Kite Power The search for new, clean energy sources has occupied the attention of scientists and politicians for years. One common resource for green energy is the wind. A new twist on this old resource could cause the energy output of wind-power plants to rise dramatically. Standard wind-power plants rely on fixed support and generally can only reach a height of 200 meters or so. Higher than that, winds tend to be stronger and more persistent. 67__________ Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite-power research group. The group is working to develop kites with inflatable (可充气的) wings connected to electrical generators on the ground. The research group’s goal is to design a kite that can operate on its own for 24 hours. Research has begun, but many challenges remain, including making the generators more efficient and perfecting the automatic flight control and the structure of the kites. 68__________ Meanwhile, in Italy, researchers are working in a similar power generator that relies on kites. When the generator, called KiteGen, senses the wind blowing, kites are released from the ends of poles with high-resistance cables to control their height and angle. These cables are able to move the kites if the system senses incoming objects such as planes, helicopters or even individual birds. The kites themselves are light, tough and able to reach fairly high altitudes. They form a circular shape in the wind, which sets the core of the generator in motion, producing electric current. KiteGen has the potential to be very cost-effective in the long run. 69__________ The plant also requires relatively little space, which makes it ideal for cities and means that multiple plants can be set up to provide even more energy. 70__________ In the future, it may be an efficient, cost-effective addition to the other sources of energy we use, or even a replacement for some of them.

Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. Though China’s drive is led by government, it is cultivating homegrown tech giants to leap ahead of the US. B. Private investment in the AI sector has been expanding 62 percent a year on average for the past four years. C. The technology has many applications, from customer service to museum tutorials to medical inquiries. D. The computers’ answers to the questions were compared against average human responses and ranked. E. For example, this technology has already been used to answer general questions on e-commerce platforms. F. Like all utilities, AI will be boring, even as it transforms the Internet, the global economy, and civilization. China’s Entering a New Era of AI They have beaten us at chess and co-written a Europop album with human beings. Now computers are taking a step into a very human territory: the reading comprehension test, a headache of schoolchildren everywhere. Alibaba on Monday said its artificial outperformed mortals (凡人) in a global reading comprehension. Luo Si, chef scientist of natural language processing at Alibaba’s research department, the Institute of Data Science of Technologies, called the machines’ victory “a milestone”. 67__________ Some of these uses are already being handled by chatbots globally. In the test administered last week, companies subjected their artificial intelligence systems to questions from the Stanford Question Answering Dataset, which assessed reading comprehension. 68__________ In top place were Microsoft, the US software giant, and Alibaba, the Chinese tech group that began with e-commerce and is — like its peers at home and abroad — investing more funds into AI. 69__________ Baidu made an early bet on AI, and is leading its rivals in autonomous driving, some of which was on show at Customer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Tencent, which boasts of 1 billion monthly active users on its social media WeChat app, and Alibaba have adopted AI in operations such as customizing news and ads, and are investing in new fields. China aims to make use of its vast treasures of data, collected from its 1.4 billion population including 730 million who are online, and deep pockets to overtake the US in creating a $150 billion industry that is seen as the next industrial revolution. Excitedly, AI is already being applied in many fields from driverless cars to text analysis. 70__________ The most asked ones include “Where’s my package?”, especially on Alibaba’s Single Day shopping festival. CDAE上海市松江区 2021 届高三下学期调研考试英语二模试卷 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. This applies to face recognition, as is often the case. B. As a matter of fact, it is advancing in the online field, too. C. What face recognition needs is strict and urgent regulation. D. But the prohibitions are so limited that they are hardly bans at all. E. And it’s even less accurate for some minorities, which risks worsening racial issues. F. Companies cannot let market make a final decision on the future of new technology. Face up to Reality Calls to stop the use of face recognition technology are growing louder, but it is already too late. Given its widespread use by tech companies and the police, a permanent roll back is impossible. The European Commission is considering temporarily banning the use of the technology in public spaces, giving politicians in Europe time to develop measures to reduce the potential risks of face recognition systems. Some US cities, such as San Francisco, have already implemented bans. 67__________ Public areas make up a small proportion of the physical spaces we inhabit. What about the many that are privately owned, such as shops, schools and museums, in which face recognition is steadily being rolled out, sometimes without our knowledge? Most of us now associate face recognition with CCTV cameras (闭路电视摄像机). 68__________ Facebook, for example, runs face recognition on users’ photos to automatically identify them in other images on the site, which has been functioning for years. Russian search engine Yandex has a smart search function that, given one image of a face, can find pictures online of the same person even in different poses and lighting conditions. Other concerns relate to the fact that the technology is imperfect. An independent analysis of a face recognition trial by London’s Metropolitan Police found that 81 per cent of matches the system flagged to a watch list of suspects were incorrect. 69__________ So what is the possible solution? When we consider both the rate at which the technology is developing and its widespread use nowadays, it is crystal-clear that a ban on its use in public spaces would be too little, too late. 70__________ A set of effective rules on when and how it can be used needs to be decided quickly. Face recognition technology is here to stay; implementing a temporary ban would be the regulatory equivalent of burying our faces in the sand. 67-70 DBEC 上海市嘉定区 2021 届高三下学期调研考试英语二模试卷 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. Hidden in the mountains, the lost city would be built of stones like these. B. What could he be thinking! C. But now the adventurers aroused the curiosity of a local farmer named Arteaga. D. How had they built them! E. Cliffs rose thousands of feet above the roaring rapids of the Urubamba River. F. Suddenly, the clouds drifted away and there it was. Discovering the Lost City Sixty miles south, in Cusco, Hiram Bingham gazed thoughtfully at the old Incan stone wall. He had come to this place in search of Vilcapampa, the lost city of the Inca. But right here was the most beautiful stonework he had ever seen—huge stones cut so perfectly that not even a razor blade (刀片) could be slipped between them. The Inca had no iron tools to carve them, no wheel or animals to move them. The wall had endured time and earthquakes. 67__________ It was a mystery. He walked through the cobbled (卵石) streets of the old capital, Cusco. The Spanish had come to this city, conquered the Inca, taken their gold, and built churches over their temples. Suddenly, he stopped. Before him was the famous Temple of the Sun. He placed his hands on the sun-warmed stones so beautifully carved, as if they had grown together. 68__________ Would it hold gold and riches like the Spanish had found in Cusco? More than ever he was determined to find that city. A. The robots also carried an iPad that allowed for remote video communication with a health care provider. B. Up to 30 percent of the participants reported that they were concerned with the robotic system. C. Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital recently set out to answer that question. D. Currently the process requires several people toperform. E. However, the question still remained whether patients would be receptive to this type of The next day Bingham began his search. He would look for ruins—that might be the key. He and his party, accompanied by the military man Sergeant Carrasco, left for the holy valley of the Urubamba River. They came to the sleepy old village in the valley, long ago an important city. “Are there any ruins nearby?” Bingham asked. “Do you know of the lost city of Vilcapampa?” No one knew of it. Traveling north, the adventurers came upon a remote and wild canyon (峡谷). In the distance were snowcapped mountains over three miles high. 69__________ Bingham’s determination to find the lost city grew with each turn of the increasingly wild path. Far below in the valley, Bingham’s party camped on a sandy beach alongside the thundering rapids of the Urubamba River. Days had gone by. No one knew of any ruins. 70__________ This time, through the interpreter, the farmer said, “Yes. There are very good ruins on top of the mountain called Machu Picchu.” The farmer pointed straight up. “Can you take us there?” Bingham asked.

The robotic doctor will see you now In the age of social distancing, using robots for some health care interactions is a promising way to reduce in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients. However, a key question that needs to be answered is how patients will react to a robot entering the exam room. (67) . In a study performed in the emergency department at Brigham and Women’s, the team found that a large majority of patients reported that interacting with a health care provider via a video screen fixed on a robot was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker. “We’re actively working on robots that can help provide care to maximize the safety of both the patient and the health care workforce. (68) . In a larger online survey conducted nationwide, we also found that a majority of respondents were open to having robots perform minor procedures such as taking a nose swab（拭子）.” says Giovanni Traverso, an MIT assistant professor of mechanical engineering, and the senior author of the study. After the Covid-19 pandemic began early last year, Traverso and his colleagues turned their attention toward new strategies to minimize interactions between potentially sick patients and health care workers. To that end, they worked with Boston Dynamics to create a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department. The robots were equipped with sensors that allow them to measure vital signs, including skin temperature, breathing rate, and pulse rate. (69) . The study suggests that it could be worthwhile to try to develop robots that can perform procedures that currently require a lot of human effort, such as turning a patient over in bed, the researchers say. Turning Covid-19 patients onto their stomachs has been shown to improve their blood oxygen levels and make breathing easier. (70) . Administering Covid-19 tests is another task that requires a lot of time and effort from health care workers, who could be arranged for other tasks if robots could help performswabs. 67-70 CFAD
